Objective To investigate the pathogenesis of interleukin-21 (IL-21)role in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).Meth-ods 38 cases of PBC were selected for the study.35 caeses of healthy subjects were selected as the control group in January 2012 to January 2014 from Shenzhen Fuyong People’s Hospital of Baoan District and the Third People’s Hospital of Shenz-hen.The levels of IL-21,IL-17 of two groups were measured with Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The levels of T helper lymphocytes 17 (Th17),regulatory T cells (Treg)cells ratios of two groups were measured with flow cytome-try.The relationship of IL-2 1 and liver function were analyzed with pearson correlation.Another analysis of pyruvate through the establishment of in vitro deaminase complex E2 subunit (PDC-E2)peptides relationship with Th17 and Treg cell.Results The levles of IL-17 (18.23±4.12)ng/L,IL-21 (512.25±18.25)ng/L,Th17 (3.98±0.98)%,Th17/Treg (39.25±3.25)% of PBC group were significantly higher than the control group (7.89±3.26)ng/L,(212.98±21.52)ng/L,(0.92±0.21)% and (12.98±3.12)%,while the PBC group Treg (3.11±0.85)% were lower than the control group (8.36±1.12)%.IL-21 were positive correlation with IL-17,Th17 (t=8.886,7.021,4.448,10.112,5.125,P<0.05).In vitro experiments showed that the addition of IL-21 in the culture system,the levels of Th17 (2.41±0.82)%,Th17/Treg cells(32.98±3.12)% were significantly higher than the control group(0.98±0.21)%,(12.25±3.25)%,while Treg (4.75 ±0.68)% were lower than the control group(11.85±0.96)%,the difference was statistically significant (8.521,6.489, 8.236,P<0.05).Conclusion IL-21 levels increased with the pathogenesis of PBC has a close relationship,which can pro-mote the reaction of PDC-E2 Th1 7/Treg immune imbalance caused thereby occurs mediated by PBC.

Objective To study and investigate the comprehensive application value of urinary tract dilata-tion combined with cavity technique in patients with ankylourethria.Methods 70 male patients with ankylourethria were collected as the research object,and they were randomly divided into the control group(ordinary urethral dilata-tion treatment group ) of 35 cases and observation group (urinary tract dilatation combined with cavity technique group)of 35 cases by numeration table,then the treatment effect of different stricture length,urodynamic indexes and life quality state before and after the treatment of the two groups were evaluated and compared.Results The cure rates and recurernce rates of the observation group were 91.43% and 2.86%,respectively,which were better than that 68.57% and11.43% of the control group(χ2 =5.396,6.502,all P<0.05).The urodynamic indexes and life quality state at first,third and sixth month after the treatment were all better than those of the control group (t =4.613,4.902,5.263,3.180,all P<0.05).Conclusion The comprehensive application value of urinary tract dila-tation combined with cavity technique in patients with ankylourethria is higher,and it is more benefit for the improve-ment of urodynamic indexes and life quality state.

Objective To analyze the occurrence rate,positive rate,and other related factors influencing interpectoral lymph nodes in breast cancer patients,and to explore the significance and indications of the surgical dissection of interpectoral lympy nodes.Methods Clinical and pathological data from 148 breast cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were subjected to modified radical mastectomy,and interpectoral lympy nodes were pathologically examined.The occurrence rate and metastasis of interpectoral lympy nodes were recorded,and the relationship between the interpectoral lympy nodes positive rate and tumor size,axillary nodes,clinical stages,neo-adjuvant chemotherapy,hormone receptors,human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (Her-2) expression,and molecular subtypes of breast cancer were determined.Results The occurrence rate,overall metastasis rate,and the positive rate of interpectoral lympy nodes in patients with axillary lymph node metastasis were 13.5％(20/148),4.7％(7/148),and 10.9％ (7/64),respectively.I nterpectoral lympy nodes metastasis was significantly correlated with axillary node metastasis and clinical stages (P＜ 0.05).However,interpectoral lympy nodes metastasis was not significantly related with hormone receptor and Her-2 expressions(P ＞ 0.05).Interpectoral lympy nodes metastasis rate was not affected by neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.Patients with interpectoral lympy nodes metastasis were characterized by larger tumors,more positive axillary lymph nodes,and later chnical stages.Conclusions Interpectoral lympy nodes metastasis usually occurs in patients with larger tumors,more positive axillary lymph nodes,later clinical stages,as well as those with locally advanced cancer that meets the standard of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.These indications suggest that the surgical dissection and pathological examination of interpectoral lymph nodes should be routinely performed.

Objective To assess the interobserver reliability and intraobserver reproducibility of Neer classification system and its influencing factors.Methods The present study reviewed the series preoperative radiographs (including those of scapular anteroposterior view,scapular lateral view and modified Velpeau axillary view and an axial CT scan) of 40 patients who had been treated in our department from January 2010 to December 2010 for proximal humeral fractures.The radiographs were assessed by 12 individual observers on 2 separate occasions with an interval of 3 months at least Half of the observers (the professional group; n =6) had received a shoulder fellowship training and the other half (the control group; n =6) had not All the observers were asked to categorize the radiographs according to the Neer classification system of 16 types of fractures in a same process.The reliability and reproducibility of the system were assessed with the Kappa statistics.Comparisons of classification agreement were made between the professional group and the control group.We also evaluated the simplified Neer system of only 6 types of fractures with recombinant data.Results The interobserver reliability coefficients were 0.534 and 0.473 for the first and second assessments,with an intraobserver reproducibility coefficient of 0.669.The agreement level in the professional group was significantly higher than in the control group ( P ＜ 0.05).The interobserver reliability coefficients of the simplified Neer system were 0.581 and 0.502,with an intraobserver reproducibility coefficient of 0.680.Use of the modified Neer system did not elevate the agreement level beyond the moderate range.The classification was agreed on by all the observers in 17.5％ of the fractures during the first assessment and in 15.0％ during the second assessment.Conclusions Neer classification may have fair interobserver reliability and moderate intraobserver reproducibility.Experience of shoulder fellowship training is an important factor influencing the reliability of the Neer system.Simplification of the system may not help increase its reliability.

Cholesteatoma is a non-neoplastic, keratinizing lesion, characterized by the proliferation of epithelium with aberrant micro-architecture into the middle ear or mastoid cavity. The exact pathogenic molecular mechanisms behind the formation and propagation of cholesteatoma remain unclear. Without timely detection and intervention, cholesteatomas can become dangerous and result in numerous intracranial and extracranial complications. In this review, the current researches about inflammatory mediators, enzymatic activity, growth factors, oxidative stress,infection and genetics in acquired cholesteatoma pathogenesis are discussed.
