Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endobronchial intubation with double-lumen tube using fiberoptic bronchoscope assisted by video laryngoscope.Methods Thirty patients of both sexes,who underwent failed endobronchial intubation with double-lumen tube using direct laryngoscope,aged 25-64 yr,with body mass index of 23-34 kg/m2,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=15 each) using a random number table:fiberoptic bronchoscope group (group F) and fiberoptic bronchoscope assisted by video laryngoscope group (group VF).The patients were intubated with double-lumen tube under the guide of fiberoptic bronchoscope in group F.The patients were intubated with double-lumen tube under the guide of fiberoptic bronchoscope assisted by video laryngoscope in group VF.The rate of successful intubation,intubation time,and glottis and epiglottis exposure condition when the video laryngoscope was used in group VF were recorded.The patients were followed up postoperatively,and the development of intubation-related complications (sore throat,hoarseness and swallowing difficulty) was also recorded.Results Compared with group F,the intubation time was significantly shortened,and the success rate of intubation at first attempt and second success rate of intubation were significantly increased in group VF (P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of intubation-related complications between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion Video laryngoscope provides better efficacy for endobronchial intubation with double-lumen tube using fiberoptic bronchoscope.

Objective To explore the immune status of CD4+ T cell subsets in the peripheral blood of patients with progressive non-segmental vitiligo (NSV).Methods Mononuclear cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of 30 patients with progressive NSV and 30 healthy controls by using Ficoll density gradient centrifugation.Flow cytometry was performed to determine the proportions of CD4+ T cell subsets.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to detect serum levels of cytokines secreted by CD4+ T cell subsets.Results The proportions of Th1 and Th17 cells in the peripheral blood were significantly higher in the patients with progressive NSV than in the healthy controls (Th1 cells:8.68％ ±4.54％ vs.5.64％ ± 3.83％,P ＜ 0.05;Th17 cells:1.96％ ± 1.07％ vs.1.17％ ± 0.6％,P ＜ 0.05),while there were no significant differences in the proportions of Th2 or Treg cells between the patients and healthy controls (both P ＞ 0.05).The patients with progressive NSV also showed significantly higher ratios of Th 1/Treg and Th17/Treg compared with the healthy controls (Th1/Treg ratio:1.32 ± 0.23 vs.2.38 ± 0.28,P ＜0.01;Th17/Treg ratio:0.29 ± 0.12 vs.0.41 ± 0.24,P ＜ 0.05),while the ratio of Th2/Treg did not differ between the patients and healthy controls.There were no significant differences in serum levels of interferon (IFN)-γ,interleukin (IL)-4 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 between the patients and healthy controls (all P ＞ 0.05),while the serum level of IL-17A was significantly higher in the patients than in the healthy controls (23.08 ± 5.80 pg/mL vs.8.66 ± 1.83 pg/mL,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Effector Thl and Th17 cells are the dominant CD4+ T cell subsets in the peripheral blood of patients with progressive NSV,and the imbalance between the effector and suppressor (Treg) CD4+ T cell subsets may be one of the factors for autoimmune response in patients with vitiligo.

Objective To explore the action of immune function in benign infantile convulsions with mild gastroenteritis (BICE) pathogenesis by detecting the T cell activation and cytokine of BICE.Method Thirty-one infant patients with BICE hospitalized in the wards of department of neurology of The Children' s Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine from April 2012 to April 2013 were selected as the experiment group,while 23 healthy infants accepting health check-up in the same period were selected as the control group.Flow cytometry was adopted to detect the peripheral blood CD25 +/CD3 + CD4 +,CD69 + /CD3 +CD4 +,HLA-DR/CD3 + CD4 +,CD25 +/CD3 + CD8 +,CD69 +/CD3 + CD8 +,HLA-DR/CD3 + CD8 +,and IL-2,IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α,INF-γlevels of the two groups.Results The peripheral blood HLA-DR/CD3 + CD4 +,HLA-DR/CD3 + CD8 + expression levels (7.300％ + 2.725％,29.560％+ 14.079％) of the experiment group were higher than those of the control group (t =2.110,2.649,P =0.040,0.011); the expression level of the peripheral blood IL-10 was 8.100 (5.800-19.700) pg/ml,which was significantly higher than that of the control group (z =-3.342,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion There is a certain degree of immune dysfunction in BICE patients,and T cell activation subgroup and the cytokines may participate in the morbidity progress of BICE.

Objective To observe the effects of iguratimod ( IT) combined with methotrexate ( MTX) in patients with refractory rheumatoid arthritis ( rRA) . Methods Sixty patients with rRA were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n=30 each group) . The cases in treatment group received 50 mg.d-1 of iguratimod and 10 mg of MTX for 16 weeks. The cases in control group were treated by 10-15 mg of MTX. DAS28 was analyzed. Levels of VEGF and endostatin ( ES) were quantified. Results In the treatment group,after 16-week treatment,DAS28,levels of VEGF and ES were (3.0±1.2),(818.9±178.8) pg.mL-1, (337.8±132.6) ng.mL-1,and those in the control group were (5.7±1.9),(1000.2±245.9) pg.mL-1,(253.8±77.8) ng.mL-1,respectively. In the treatment group,DAS28 and VEGF after the treatment were significantly decreased as compared with those before the treatment ( P<0.01) . The decrement was more significant in the treatment group than in the control group ( P<0.01) . At the 16th week of treatment,ES was significantly increased as compared with that before the treatment ( P<0.01) , and there was a significant difference between the treatment group and the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Iguratimod combined with MTX have a prominent effect on rRA with high safety. The efficacy of IT on RA might be related with decreasing VEGF release,increasing ES production and alleviating synovium angiogenesis.

Human has used maggot to treat diseases for thousands of years. In recent years, with abuse of antibiotic and the rising incidence of antibiotic resistance, maggot therapy, as a surgical alternative, is mainly applied to treat chronic infected wounds on account of its low cost, efficacy and safety. Its mechanisms are disinfection, bio-debridement and enhancement of tissue regeneration. Maggot therapy which serves as a kind of biological therapy is promising. However, living maggot therapy could result in inevitable complications, so that we should apply traditional Chinese medicine theory to investigate and develop new delivery method of maggot. The review summarizes the past and present of maggot therapy.

Objective:To investigate the short term outcomes and postoperative respiratory complications of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension(CTEPH) treated by pulmonary endarterectomy(PEA).Methods:45 consecutive CTEPH patients underwent PEA between December 2017 and January 2020 in our institution were enrolled, including 25 females and 20 males. The mean age of operation was 51.2(25-70) years old. 24(53.5%) patients were in New York Heart Association(NYHA) functional class Ⅲ-Ⅳ. The mean PVR before operation was 923(461-2 711) dyn·s·cm -5. All patients’ data were entered in a prospective database, divieded into patients with respiratory complications group(WRC)and without respiratory complications group(WORC). To assess risk factors for postoperative respiratory complications and its effect on short term outcomes. Results:There was a significant reduction in mPAP(from 37 mmHg to 20 mmHg) and PVR(from 923 dyn·s·cm -5 to 293 dyn·s·cm -5) in the entire group. The in-hospital mortality rate was 4.4%(2 cases), died due to postoperative cardiogenic circulatory failure, even with VA-ECMO treatment and mediastinal infection, respectively. Postoperative respiratory complications occurred in 32 patients(71.1%). The most common complications were reperfusion pulmonary edema 44.4%(20 cases) and residual pulmonary hypertension 11.1%(5 cases). The WRC group showed a tendency to have longer periods of mechanical ventilation, longer ICU stays and more ICU costs. Independent predictors of postoperative respiratory complications were time from symptom onset to PEA>36 months( OR=12.2, 95% CI: 2.1-70.7, P=0.005)and six-minute walking distance<300 m( OR=12.6, 95% CI: 1.1-138.0, P=0.0038). Conclusion:Pulmonary endarterectomy is an effective and safe treatment for CTEPH. Postoperative respiratory complications were mainly determined by symptom onset time and pre-operative status. Patients with CTEPH should consider PEA surgery early.

Curriculum integration has become the core content of the current medical education reform.With the rapid development of information technology,how to reflect the teaching and learning effects and to further improve them,is one of the difficulties in the reform of the integrated curriculum.In view of the problems of single form of assessment model,separate classroom teaching and extracurricular teaching evaluation,low utilization of network and electronic teaching resources,we make full use of network methods to carry out reform on the current formative teaching evaluation system.With the purpose of formative assessment and evaluation,the "Blackboard network teaching system" of the curriculum has been built,and the evaluation indexes of classroom teaching and extracurricular teaching have been established.And at the same time,the formative assessment index has been enriched and perfected in a diversified form,and the formative assessment model adapted to the integrated curriculum is preliminarily explored.

Objective To prepare monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against the type Ⅳ secretion system protein VirB5 of Brucella melitensis and to provide a basis for pathgenic diagnosis and research of brucellosis.Methods Four SPF female BALB/c mice were subcutaneously immunized with purified VirB5 protein at a dose of 60 μg/mice,and immunization was strengthened every 2 weeks at a dose of 30 μg/mice,three times in total.Two weeks later,the orbital venous blood of mice was taken to determine the antibody titer,and then intraperitoneally injected for the fourth time to strengthen immunization.Three days later,mouse spleen cells were fused with mouse myeloma SP2/O cells in a ratio of 5:1.After 3 times of cell screening and monoclonal cloning,the hybridoma cell lines with stable secretion of VirB5 antibody were established;one BALB/c mouse was intraperitoneally injected with hybridoma cells,and ascites were collected and antibody was purified when the mouse abdomen was significantly enlarged.The immunological characteristics of mAbs were identified by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting.Results A total of 6 monoclonal cell lines (2-2,2-12,2-19,2-25,2-31 and 2-40) capable of secreting VirB5 antibody were established.Among them,the cell line 2-19 can stably secrete an antibody that specifically recognized the VirB5 protein,and the VirB5 antibody secreted by the cell line was identified as an IgG1 subtype,a kappa light chain,a mAb affinity constant of 1.6 × 108.The titer of ascites antibody of mouse intraperitoneally injected with hybridoma cell 2-19 was 1:51 200.Conclusion The high-affinity mAb of type Ⅳ secretion system protein VirB5 is successfully prepared,and the antibody can rapidly bind specifically to pathogens,providing an alternative material for establishment of brucellosis pathogen diagnostic method.
