Type 2 innate lymphoid cells ( ILC2s) are recently identified members of the innate lymphoid cell ( ILC) family. These cells are capable of producing Th2-type cytokines such as IL-5 and IL-13 in response to epithelial cell-derived cytokines IL-25 and IL-33 and play critical roles in allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma. Further investigations on ILC2s will enhance the better understanding of type 2 immune responses and may provide new strategies for the treatment of allergic asthma. In this review, we fo-cus on the origin, location and biological function of ILC2s as well as their possible roles in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma.

Objective To investigate the value of prenatal diagnosis in identifying the etiology and predicting the prognosis of fetal pleural effusion (FPE).Methods Forty-two cases of FPE were recruited in this study from January 2012 to September 2016.Ultrasound scan and genetic tests were performed on all fetuses.Seven fetuses with severe FPE were given pleurocentesis.Pregnancy outcomes of all the fetuses were followed up.Results FPE was commonly accompanied with other abnormalities,such as ascites,hydrops,hydramnion,hygroma colli,abnormal posturing,joint contractures,arrhythmia and micromandible.Chromosomal abnormality was detected in 11 fetuses (26.2%),of which ten were further confirmed by karyotype analysis,including six with 45,X,three trisomy 21 and one trisomy 18,and one was detected with a 9.83 Mb uniparental disomy (UPD) located at 12q24.21q24.31 by gene chip.One fetus was diagnosed with--SEA/--SEA thalassemia.All of the 12 families decided to terminate the pregnancies after genetic counseling.Among the other 30 fetuses,seven with severe FPE and normal karyotype underwent pleurocentesis.Five of the seven cases were with favorable outcomes,one with progressive hydrops was aborted and one neonate with severe hydrops died after birth.Spontaneous regression of FPE with good outcome was found in two cases.Parents of the other 21 fetuses chose to terminate the pregnancies.Conclusions Prenatal diagnosis is important to identify the etiology and predict the outcome of FPE.Chromosomal abnormality is a relatively common cause of FPE,and 45,X and trisomy 21 are the most common abnormalities.Intrauterine intervention is beneficial for FPE without chromosomal or other definite genetic abnormalities.Genetic test may be of great value for pregnant counseling.

Objective To investigate the role of CD4+T cells in airway inflammation induced by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. Methods Animal models of acute RSV infection were estab-lished. Lung tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) to observe histopathological changes. Total number of CD4+T cells and the number of CD4+T cells secreting Th1/Th2 cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13) in spleen were detected by flow cytometry. Adoptive transfer of CD4+T cells was performed to identify the role of CD4+T cells in RSV-induced airway inflammation. Results RSV infection increased the total number of splenic CD4+T cells,particularly Th2-type CD4+T cells. The absolute numbers of IL-4/IL-5/IL-13-secreting CD4+T cells were increased significantly after RSV infection. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of CD4+T cells into BALB/c mice not only promoted the infiltration of mononuclear cells in lung,but also enhanced the secretion of Th2 cytokines during RSV infection. Conclusion CD4+T cells are involved in RSV-induced airway inflammation through secreting Th2 cytokines.

Objective:To construct of evaluation index system and theory-skill-humanity (TSH) model for core competence of radiation specialist nurses, to provide reference for clinical training of radiation specialist nurses.Methods:In January 2023, the draft of the evaluation index system of core competence for radiation specialist nurses was development by literature reviews and semi-structured interviews; from February to March 2023, 20 experts were consulted with 2 rounds of Delphi consultations to determine the index system and determine indicator weights based on the importance assigned by experts to each indicator.Results:Among 20 experts, 17 were female and 3 were male, aged 35-65 (46.48 ± 8.19) years old. The effective recovery rate of the questionnaires was 100.0% (20/20) and 95.0% (19/20) in the first and second round, respectively. The authority coefficient of the experts was 0.937 in the second round, the Kendall coefficients of concordance in the first-level indexes, second-level indexes and third-level indexes were 0.448, 0.407, 0.464, respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 53.60, 148.81, 58.18, all P<0.001). The final evaluation index system of the core competence of radiation specialist nurses included 3 first-level indicators, 11 second-level indicators and 56 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The evaluation index system of the core competence of radiation specialist nurses constructed based on TSH model in the present study has certain feasibility and practicality, which can be used as the basis for the training and evaluation of radiation specialized nurses.

Objective To evaluate the application effect of joint inventory management method in drug procurement and control management in multiple hospital areas. Methods Based on the joint inventory management model, four pilot drugs were selected from a certain group hospital by reasonable data processing methods for research. The effects of the model application were compared and analyzed from aspects such as inventory cost, turnover situation, and supply situation. Results After applying the joint inventory management model led by the central hospital, the inventory and amount of drugs in the three pilot hospitals were significantly reduced, with the inventory reduced by 31.93% and the average inventory amount decreased by 16.23%; The inventory turnover days had significantly decreased, with the turnover days of all three branches decreasing by more than one day; The drug shortage rate had significantly decreased, with the most significant change among the pilot drugs being the doxorubicin liposome injection, which had a 6.7% decrease in the shortage rate; The comparison results of each group of data showed statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Adopting a central hospital led joint inventory management model in multiple hospital areas could significantly improve the effectiveness of drug procurement management and inventory management, which enhanced the efficiency of hospital fund utilization.

To prepare a lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based subunit vaccine of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) antigen EsxV and study its immunological characteristics, the LNP containing EsxV and c-di-AMP (EsxV: C: L) was prepared by thin film dispersion method, and its encapsulation rate, LNP morphology, particle size, surface charge and polyphase dispersion index were measured. BALB/c mice were immunized with EsxV: C: L by nasal drops. The levels of serum and mucosal antibodies, transcription and secretion of cytokines in lung and spleen, and the proportion of T cell subsets were detected after immunization. EsxV: C: L LNPs were obtained with uniform size and they were spherical and negatively charged. Compared with EsxV: C immunization, EsxV: C: L mucosal inoculation induced increased sIgA level in respiratory tract mucosa. Levels of IL-2 secreted from spleen and ratios of memory T cells and tissue-resident T cells in mice were also elevated. In conclusion, EsxV: C: L could induce stronger mucosal immunity and memory T cell immune responses, which may provide better protection against Mtb infection.
