Objective:Based on the detection of CD4+IL17+Th17 and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells in the peripheral blood of patients with human papilloma virus (HPV), the study analyzes the ratio of Th17 to Treg and compares the different expression of cytokine IL-17, IL-10, TGF-β, and IL-23 in the serum. Methods:From September 2014 to June 2016, 119 cases of untreated patients with cervical HPV in-fection were collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, which include 46 cases of cervical cancer (CC), 43 cases with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)Ⅱ-Ⅲ, and 30 with chronic cervicitis (CCS). The detection of HPV types classified 80 patients as high-risk and 39 as low-risk. Flow cytometry examined Treg and Th17 cells, and enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay was used to test related cytokines. Results:In the infection of high-risk cervical HPV, the rate of the CC group was 87%(40/46), which was higher than that of the CINⅡ-Ⅲgroup and the CCS group, which were 77%(33/43) and 23%(7/30), respectively. For the expression of Th17 and Treg cells in the peripheral blood and the related cytokine IL-17, IL-23, TGF-β, and IL-10 in the serum, the levels of CC group were also significantly higher than that of the other two groups, and the ratio of Th17 to Treg increased considerably with the se-verity of cervical lesions. The expression of Th17 and Treg cells in the peripheral blood of patients with high-risk cervical HPV were higher than that of patients with low-risk cervical HPV (P<0.05), which was the same for the expression of the related cytokine IL-17, IL-23, TGF-β, and IL-10 in the serum. The ratio of the Th17 to Treg of patients with high-risk cervical HPV increased remarkably (P<0.05). Conclusion:The expression of Treg and Th17 cells in high-risk patients exhibits an increasing trend, and the ratio of increased Th17 to Treg may directly participate in the process of HPV infection and immune evasion, which plays an important role in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) transplanted by different Methods on cardiac function of rabbits with dilated cardiomyopathy.Methods 50 white ears rabbits were given doxorubicin by intraperitoneal injection to induce dilated cardiomyopathy, and randomly divided into the model group 1, model group 2 and control group. The ADMSCs isolated and cultured in vitro were transplanted into dilated cardiomyopathy rabbits of model group 1 through multi-points injection in myocardium, and were transplanted into rabbits of model group 2 through coronary artery transplant. Those in the control group were treated with IMEM medium of the same volume through multi-points injection in myocardium. Rabbits were fed for 4 week successively and then were killed to obtain heart sample, and the survival and differentiation of transplanted cells were observed through fluorescence microscope. Before transplantation and 4 weeks after transplantation, all rabbits received ultrasonic cardiogram test and haemodynamics test to determine cardiac function.Results After transplant through the two different Methods , ADMSCs could survive and differentiate in myocardial cells. 4 weeks after transplantation, the left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) reduced more significantly in the model group 2 compared with the model group 1 ( P<0.05~0.01), and LVSV, ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular systolic pressure, +dp/dtmax, -dp/dtmax increased more significantly ( P<0.05~0.01).Conclusion Transplanted ADMSCs can survive and differentiate in myocardial cells, and improve the heart function in rabbits with dilated cardiomyopathy. It is more conducive to the effectiveness of ADMSCs to improve the heart function through the method of coronary artery transplant.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of Multi-slice Spiral CT(MSCT) and coronary artery imaging in diagnosing coronary artery myocardial bridges (MBs). Methods Image data of 285 patients from July 2005 to July 2008 who accepted both the MSCT and coronary angiography CAG at our hospital were collected. Diagnostic performance of the two Methods were analysed and the diagnostic accuracy were compared. Results In 285 cases of patients with MSCT examinations, 82 coronary artery were diagnosed in 59 cases, the detection rate of which was 20.7%. In contrast, 16 cases were diagnosed by CAG and the detection rate was 5.6%. In the 82 coronary artery diagnosed by MSCT, 42 coronary artery were single vessel, the proportion was 71.19%. Others were two vessels or three vessels. There were 67 in left anterior descending artery (LAD),in which 52 were near the middle and 15 were distal. 26 MBs diagnosed by MSCT were included in the 28 MBs diagnosed by CAG. Put CAG as the gold standard of myocardial bridge detecting, then MSCT's sensitivity was 92.86%. Conclusion MSCT coronary artery imaging can accurately show the anatomical relationship between coronary artery and myocardial and it is one of the preferred method of diagnosing coronary artery.
