OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of Qiling Decoction (QD) combined highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) on expression levels of peripheral blood Th17 and Treg cells in HIV/AIDS patients.
METHODSTotally 55 HIV/AIDS patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (28 cases) and the combination group (27 cases). Besides, 21 HIV negative patients were recruited as the healthy control group. Those in the treatment group received HARRT alone, while those in the combination group received HAART combined QD. The observation lasted for 24 weeks. Meanwhile, according to peripheral blood CD4+ T cell counts before treatment, HIV/AIDS patients were assigned to three subgroups. For patients in subgroup 1, 1 cells/microL < CD4+ T cell counts < or = 100 cells/microL; For patients in subgroup 2, 101 cells/microL < CD4+ T cell counts < or = 200 cells/lL; For patients in subgroup 3, 201 cells/microL < CD4+ T cell counts < or = 350 cells/microL. Expression of peripheral blood Th17 and Treg cells, and number of CD4+ T cell counts were detected using flow cytometry (FCM)in HIV/AIDS patients at the pre-treatment baseline, week 4, 12, and 24, as well as those in the healthy control group.
RESULTSCompared with the healthy control group, CD4+ T cell counts and the baseline expression level of Th17 cells in the peripheral blood of HIV/AIDS patients significantly decreased, the expression level of Treg cells significantly increased P < 0.01). Compared with before treatment in the same group, CD4+ T cell counts all increased at week 4, 12, and 24 in the two treatment groups, showing statistical difference (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). There was no statistical difference in the effective rate at various CD4+ T cell levels between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was no statistical difference in expression levels of Th17 and Treg cells between the combination group and the treatment group at any time point (all P >0.05). The Th17/Treg ration significantly increased in the combination group after 24 weeks of treatment, showing statistical difference when compared with the treatment group (U = 2.135, P = 0.038).
CONCLUSIONQD could improve the immune balance of Th17/Treg cells, which might be one of its mechanisms for improving HIV/AIDS patients' immunity.

Objective To analyze setup errors for irradiation of pelvic carcinoma by online conebeam CT (CBCT) scanning and to calculate the external margins from clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) in treatment planning. Methods Twelve patients with rectal or prostate cancer were enrolled in this study. Translational errors (x,y,z) and rotational errors (u,v,w) were obtained by using CBCT in radiotherapy. Results The set-up errors were gathered from 229 sets of CBCT in 12patients. The systemic ± random errors on x,y,z, u,v and w axes were (0.49 ± 1.18) mm, (-0. 11 ±3.45) mm, (-2. 00 ± 1.59) mm, 1.14°±0. 67°, 0. 42°±O. 94°and -0. 32°±±0. 68°, respectively. Setup errors in the left-right, anterior-posterior, and superior-inferior directions were 4. 6 mm, 12. 5 mm, and 6. 2 mm, respectively. Conclusions Set-up errors were unavoidable in pelvic carcinoma irradiation. To minimize the influence of set-up errors, we suggest a PTV margin of 5 mm, 15 mm and 10 mm in the leftright, anterior-posterior and superior-inferior directions, respectively.

Objective To evaluate the performance of serum small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(sdLDL-C)kit using enzymic method and evaluate the relationship with the severity of coronary heart disease.Methods Performance verification methodology. The analytical performance consisted of accuracy, precision and linearity of serum sdLDL-C kit using enzymic method was assessed. One hundred and twenty healthy persons were recruited to establish serum sdLDL-C reference interval. Two hundred and twelve patients underwent coronary angiography were enrolled in the study.Among them 110 cases were positive for coronary angiography, where as 102 cases were negative. We examined serum levels of sdLDL-C in 110 patients with positive angiography, 102 patients with negative angiography and 120 healthy volunteers. Positive group was classfied into severe group(Gensini score>30) and mild group (Gensini score≤30).Results The accuracy and precision of sdLDL-C examination were in compliance with manufacturer′s statement and there was a good linear correlation(Y=0.9937X-0.1063,R2=0.99) in range of 0.06-2.45 mmol/L. The reference interval of sdLDL-C was 0.15-0.97 mmol/L and without gender and age specificity. The level of sdLDL-C was higher in positive angiography group than in negative angiography group and healthy control group(P<0.01). The level of sdLDL-C was higher in severe group than in mild group(P<0.05). Binary stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that sdLDL-C was independently associated with the severity of coronary heart disease(OR=3.101,P<0.05).ConclusionsExperiment data demonstrated that serum sdLDL-C kit using enzymic method has good performance in the accuracy, precision and linearity. SdLDL-C that plays an important role in the occurrence and progression of coronary heart disease, is an independent important risk of the severity of coronary heart disease.

Objective To analyze the results of survival and local regional control of early-stage breast cancer patients treated with breast-conserving surgery and whole breast radiation therapy, and to explore the factors influencing local control. Methods From October 1995 to September 2005,335 patients with early-stage breast cancer were treated with breast conservative therapy, including 25 with post-operative radiotherapy alone( group A), 194 with sequential chemo-radiotherapy( group B) ,80 with concurrent chemoradiotherapy( group C), and 36 with chemo-radio-chemotherapy (group D). Axillary dissection was performed in 312 patients and sentinel node biopsy in 2. Adjuvant chemotherapy was given to 310 patients. Radiation of 50 Gy in 25 fractions was delivered to the whole breast in 256 patients,and to the breast and regional nodes in 79. Another 10 Gy in 5 fractions was boosted to the tumor bed. The proportion of patients with surgery-radiation interval of less than 4 weeks,4-8 weeks,8-20 weeks and over 20 weeks was 16.4%, 23.6% ,37.3% and 22.7% ,respectively. Concurrent chemo-radiation and" sandwich" modality were delivered in 80 and 36 patients,respectively. Results The median follow-up was 48(25.3-146.7) months. The 5-year local-regional control and ipsilateral breast control rates were 94.5% and 95.6%, respectively. The 5-year disease-free survival,metastasis-free survival and overall survival rates were 88.6% ,93.2% and 98.8% ,respectively. Lymph-vascular invasion and neural invasion were significant factors influencing local control in univariate analysis. No significant differences were found in local control rates among different surgery-radiation intervals or different sequencing of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Multivariate analysis showed that lymph-vascular invasion and reexcision for positive or unknown margin were independent prognostic factors influencing local control. In group A + B, C and D, the frequency of grade Ⅲ skin toxicity was4.5%.80.0%.and 77.0%,respectively(χ2=226.00,P=0.000).Conclusiom Breast conservative therapy for early-stage breast eancer results in good local-regional control and overall survival.Lymph-vascular invasion and reexcision are independent prognostic factors for local control.Surgery-radiation interval and sequencing of radiotherapy and chemotherapy have no impact on local contr01.Grade Ⅲ skin toxicity of the concurTent radio.chemotherapy and the chemo.radio.chemotherapy group is significantly higher than that of the sequential chemotherapy-radiotherapy plus radiotherapy alone group.
