Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of Yiaikang on the expression of sterile alpha motif and histidine-aspartic acid domain-containing protein 1(SAMHD1), a host restriction factor, and interferon levels in peripheral blood of HIV-infected patients with lung-spleen Qi deficiency syndrome. This aims to provide insights into the mechanism of YiaiKang in the treatment of AIDS. Methods According to the diagnostic criteria of Western medicine for AIDS and traditional Chinese medicine for lung-spleen Qi deficiency syndrome, 22 cases of HIV patients with lung and spleen Qi deficiency syndrome were enrolled in the study from the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of TCM between September 2020 and May 2021, and 20 healthy people in the area were taken as control. The patients with lung and spleen Qi deficiency syndrome were treated with Yiaikang for 6 months. T lymphocyte subpopulation changes and expression level of SAMHD1 protein in T cells were detected by flow cytometry. SAMHD1 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. The levels of IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-γ, and IL-2 in plasma were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The changes of SAMHD1 and interferon in peripheral blood of HIV patients with lung and spleen Qi deficiency syndrome were analyzed to explore the intervention effect of Yiaikang. Results Compared with healthy people, HIV patients with lung and spleen Qi deficiency syndrome exhibited a reduction in the CD4 + T lymphocyte count and CD4/CD8 ratio (Z=-3.526, P<0.001; Z=-0.881, P<0.001). There was an increase in the expression of SAMHD1 protein in T lymphocytes (SAMHD1 MFI/CD4: Z=-3.425, P=0.001; SAMHD1 MFI/CD8: Z=-2.153, P=0.031) and an increase in the expression of SAMHD1 gene in PBMCs (Z=-3.828, P<0.001). Yiaikang treatment significantly increased the CD4 + T cell count and CD4/CD8 ratio (Z=-2.711, P=0.007; Z=-2.062, P=0.039), decreased the expression of SAMHD1 mRNA (Z=-2.581, P=0.010), and decreased the levels of IFN-α and IFN-γ (Z=-1.985, P=0.047; Z=-2.744, P=0.006). Conclusions Patients with lung-spleen Qi deficiency syndrome have reduced numbers of CD4 + T cells and CD4/CD8 ration, with increased expression of SAMHD1 and interferon factors. Yiaikang treatment can increase the number of CD4 + T cells and CD4/CD8 ratio and reduce the expression of SAMHD1 and interferon factor, thereby improving the immune imbalance caused by HIV infection.

Objective To study clinical value and significance of thyroid receptor stimulating antibody (TSAb) and thyroid stimulating-blocking antibody (TSBAb) on diagnosis and treatment for children with Graves’disease (GD) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Methods Eighty-eight children with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and treatment time less six months were divided into GD group (n=55) and HT group (n=33). Thirty-eight healthy children were used as control (Normal group). Human serum TSAb ELISA kit and human TSBAb ELISA kit were used to detect the serum TSAb and serum TSBAb in three groups. The serum levels of TSAb and TSBAb were compared between three groups. The correla? tion between TSAb and TSBAb, TSAb/TSBAb and free triiodothyronine three (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), ultra sensitive thy?roid stimulating hormone (TSH) were analyzed. Results The serum level of TSAb was significantly higher in GD group than that of HT group and Normal group (P<0.05). The serum level of TSBAb was significantly higher in HT group than that of Normal group (P<0.05). There was no significant correlation between serum TSAb and serum TSBAb (P>0.05). There were no significant correlation between serum TSAb, TSBAb and FT3, FT4, TSH (P>0.05). Conclusion TSAb and TSBAb are related to the pathogenesis of GD and HT in children. TSAb and TSBAb have an important clinical value in the diagnosis and treatment for children with GD and HT.

Objective:To investigate the criterion-related validity of Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL)-Chinese version and to evaluate the effect of menopausal symptoms on health related quality of life. Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. Three communities were randomly chosenin Changsha,and then 340 menopausal women aged 45-55 years were randomly chosen from the documented data of the 3 community health service centers. They were required to fill out 4 questionnaires: demographic questionnaire, MENQOL-Chinese version, Kupperman Index (KI) and World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHQOL)-BREF. Correlation analysis was used to measure the criterion-related validity. Results: MENQOL-Chinese version subscales (vasomotor, psycho-social, sexual and physical) and KI total score were positively correlated (r=0.800,0.751, 0.607, 0.906 respectively); while negatively correlated with WHOQOL-BREF total score (r =-0.694,-0.851,-0.585,-0.873 respectively); MENQOL-Chinese version subscales (vasomotor, psycho-social, sexual and physical) were signiifcantly correlated with WHOQOL-BREF subscales (physical, psychological, social relationship, environment), and the physical domain was the highest among the correlation coeffcients (r=-0.915). Conclusion:MENQOL-Chinese version shows relatively high criterion-related validity compared with KI and WHOQOL-BREF, which can be widely used to measure the quality of life of menopause women in China.
