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 role of hemoglobin (Hb),red blood cell count (RBC) and hematocrit (HCT) during the first trimester in predicting the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the third trimester in nonanemic women in Kunming.Methods A prospective study was carried out.Routine blood tests were performed in 1189 nondiabetic singleton pregnant Chinese women at their initial prenatal healthcare before 14 gestational weeks in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 1,2008 to December 31,2009.They were divided into four groups by quartiles of Hb,RBC and HCT levels respectively.Differences of GDM incidence at the third trimester were compared among groups.Kollmogorov Smirnov test was used to detect normal distribution of Hb,RBC and HCT results.Differences between rates of groups were detected by Chi-square test.Independent risk factors of GDM were screened by Logistic regression analysis.Results The incidence of GDM at the third trimester increased as quartile categories of Hb,RBC and HCT ascended.The GDM incidence (13.1 ％,34/259) of ≥75th Hb group was higher than that of ＜ 25th group (5.9 ％,18/304,x2 =8.53,P＜ 0.0 1),25th ～ group (9.2 ％,30/326,x2=4.18,P＜0.05) and 50th～ group (9.3％,28/300,x2=3.96,P＜0.05).The GDM incidence (11.7 ％,34/290) of 50th～ RBC group (RBC≥4.44 × 1012/L) was higher than that of ＜25th group (6.3％,19/304,x2=5.30,P＜0.05),25th～ group (7.0％,21/298,x2 =3.93,P＜0.05); and the GDM incidence (12.1％,36/297) of ≥75th group was also higher than that of ＜25th group (6.3％,19/304,x2 =6.49,P＜0.05),25th～ group (7.0％,21/298,x2=3.85,P＜0.05).The GDM incidence of ＜25th HCT group (5.3％,16/303) was lower than that of 25th～ group (9.3％,29/311,x2=7.04,P＜0.01),50th～ group (10.8％,31/287,x2=3.93,P＜0.05) and ≥75th group (11.8％,34/288,x2=6.49,P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that Hb (OR=1.031,95％ CI:1.010-1.052),RBC (OR=2.286,95％CI:1.318-3.963) and HCT (OR=1.106,95％ CI:1.037-1.179) were independent risk factors of GDM (all P＜0.05).Conclusions High maternal Hb,RBC and HCT levels in the first trimester could be used in predicting GDM in pregnant women in Kunming area.

Objective To characterize 16S rRNA methylase encoding genes associated with aminoglycoaides resistance, gene cassettes of class Ⅰ integrons of the multidrug-resistant Acinetobctcter spp. The sixty one Acinetobacter isolates were collected at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical Uni versity from July, 2007 to May, 2008. Methods Species identification was confirmed by sequence analysis of the blaOXA-51-like gene and 16S-23S rRNA gene space-region. Antimierobial susceptibility tests were performed by agar dilution method. 16S rRNA methylaae encoding genes and gene cassettes associated with integrons were amplified by PCR method. Results Among the sixty one strains, there were fifty five of Acinetobacter baumannii, three genospecies 3TU, one 13TU, one Aeinetobaeter ealcoacetieus, and one Aeinetobaeter haemolytieus. Forty eight isolates showed high-level resistance to three aminoglyeosides, including amikaein, tobramyein and gentamicin. The armA gene was found in 47 isolates and all isolates were negative for rmtA, rmtB, rmtC and rmtD genes. The Intl gene was found in 27 isolates. The gene cassettes contained arr-3, accA4,ctacCI ,catB8, aadA1 or dfrA12 genes. According to the PFGE DNA patterns, 5 distinct clones of armA-pasitive strains were identified. Clone A and Clone B were the dominant clones, widely distributed among different divisions. Condnsions 16S rRNA methylase encoding gene (armA) distributed widely in muhidrug-resistant Acinetobacter spp. The armA gene is not located in class Ⅰintegron. The class Ⅰ integron carries multiple resistant genes associated with aminoglycosides and chloramphenieol resistance.PFGE analysis suggests that armA-pesitive strains are widely spread in our hospitaL Effective infection control measure should be conducted in order to control the outbreak of resistant bacteria.
