Objective To detect the expression of Th17 levels about peripheral blood in patients with bron-chial asthma in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid,and to investigate its effect in pathogenesis of bronchial asthmaand. Methods Patients with acute bronchial asthma from 2014 April to 2014 November were collected in the experiment. There are 52 cases as observation group (group of patients with asthma),and the patients were then divided according the severity (mild,moderate,severe);in addition,select 50 healthy people in the same period in our hospital as con-trol group healthy control group.Collect peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid,the expression of specific transcription factors ROR gamma T and cytokine IL -17 in the peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in Th17 cells levels were detected by real -time fluorescent quantitative PCR.Results The expression of IL -17,ROR gamma T in peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the observation group were higher than the control group;the expression of IL -17,ROR gamma T in alveolar lavage fluid quantity and peripheral blood with severe patients in the observation group were higher than that in the mild patients,differences were statistically significant (P <0.05).Conclusion There are 17 auxiliary T lymphocytes in patients with bronchial asthma in vivo (Th17) advantage of expression,Th17 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma.Bronchial asthma patients body may have advantage to heip expression of T lymphocytes 17 (Th17).Th17 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma.

Objective To evaluate the effects of occupational therapy and Taoist cognitive psychotherapy on emotional disorder of stroke patients.Methods A total of 136 hemiplegic patients with emotional disorder were randomly divided into a general treatment group,a cognitive psychotherapy group,an occupational therapy group and a combined therapy group(occupational therapy combined Taoist cognitive psychotherapy group).All patients were treated accordingly for 8 weeks and followed up for 6 months.All the patients were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assess- ment,COPM and SCL-90.Results It was found that the Fugl-Meyer Assessment and COPM scores were improved gradually in all groups.The combined therapy group scored higher than occupational therapy group(P

Objective:To investigate the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness and left ventricular geometry in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).Methods:Two hundred and twenty-one OSAS patients were enrolled consecutively from the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January to December 2019. According to left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and relative wall thickness (RWT), OSAS patients were divided into 4 groups based on the left ventricular geometry: 110 with normal geometry (NG group), 56 with concentric remodeling (CR group), 32 with concentric hypertrophy (CH group), and 23 with eccentric hypertrophy (EH group). The patients were examineel by echocardiography, the left ventricular end diastolic diameter, LVMI, interventricular septal thickness, left ventricular posterior wall thickness, left ventricle ejcetion fraction, E/A were collected. Age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), apnea hypopnea index (AHI), nocturnal lowest oxygen saturation (Lowest-SaO 2), nocturnal mean oxygen saturation (Mean-SaO 2), the percentage of the time that oxygen desaturation below 90%(T90), oxygen desaturation index(ODI), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), EAT thickness and the echocardiography parameters were compared among the four groups. The relationships between EAT thickness and the above-mentioned parameters and left ventricular geometry were analyzed by univariate and multivariate linear regressions. Results:①The higher EAT thickness was found in the CH group [(0.50±0.09)cm] and EH group [(0.46±0.07)cm] compared with the NG group [(0.33±0.11)cm] and CR group [(0.36±0.15)cm] (all P<0.05). In addition, age, SBP, DBP, AHI, ODI, T90, LVMI, RWT and E/A ratio were all significantly different among the groups (all P<0.05). ②Univariate linear regression analysis showed that EAT thickness was positively correlated with age, SBP, DBP, AHI, TG, TC and LVMI, RWT, left ventricular geometry, and negatively correlated with Mean-SaO 2 and Lowest-SaO 2. ③Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that EAT thickness was independently correlated with AHI, TG, TC and left ventricular geometry. Conclusions:EAT is independently related to abnormal left ventricular geometry, suggesting that EAT may be involved in the process of left ventricular remodeling.

Objective To assess the distribution of vaginal microflora in healthy women and investigate their cognition of lower reproductive tract infection-related knowledge as well as personal hygiene habits and character of behavior in seeking medical treatment. Methods Total of 1660 healthy women who had physical check-ups at the Medical Center of Renji Hospital were selected and received gynecologic examination, as well as routine examination, pH examination and bacterial culture of the vaginal discharge. In addition, 860 of them were randomly selected for questionnaire survey, in which reproductive tract infection -related knowledge and personal hygiene habits as well as behavior in seeking medical treatment were involved. Results Among the 1660 eensused women, vaginal average pH was 4. 16±0.21. The positive rate of Candida in vaginal discharge routine examination was 3.86% (64/1660), which was lower than that in aerobes culture 7.71% (128/1660). Candida alhicans was the most populous species 78.9% (101/128) ,followed by 7.8% (10/128) and 7.0% (9/128) for the Candida glabrata and Candida krusei respectively. The most populous species of vaginal microflora were hemolytic streptococcus A (63.80%, 1059/1660), Staphylococcus epidermidis (14.28%, 237/1660), and Enterococcus faecalis (D) group ( 11.44%, 190/1660). The questionnaire survey showed that 88.4% (760/860) of 860 women took active treatment when feeling unwell, 92.1% (792/860) of them had good hygiene practices, and only 21.2% (182/860) had the habit of vaginal douching. In addition, 50.0% (430/860) of them had the desire to obtain reproductive health knowledge through out-patient consultation. Conclusions Vulvovaginal Candida disease ranks the first in all types of vaginitis, among which, Candida albicans is the most populous species followed by the Candida glabrata and Candida krusei. Hemolytic streptococcus A and Staphylococcus epidermidis are the most common species of vaginal mieroflora in healthy women. The censused women have high awareness of reproductive health care and pay mueh attention to common gynecologic diseases such as lower reproductive tract infection. Nevertheless, we should strengthen the public education of reproductive health-related knowledge.

Objective To explore the feasibility,advantages and disadvantages of combined trans- gastric and transcolonic routes for NOTES.Methods A female swine was used in this study.Transgastric entrance was the first,followed by transeolonie entrance.A dual-channel endoscope was inserted through the porcine mouth into the gastric cavity and penetrated into the peritoneal cavity through the puncture and bal- loon dilatation of the gastric wall.Then under direct visualization through the transgastric approach,the other endoseope was advanced into the peritoneum.Using the two endoscopes inside the peritoneal cavity,collabo- rative peritoneoseopy was performed by the two endoscopists.After the examination the incisions in the stom- ach and the colon wall were closed with Endoclips.The animal was sacrificed for post-mortem examination with particular attention to the entrance sites and presence of any complications related to the access or to ma- nipulations inside the peritoneal cavity.Results No hemorrhage oecurred during the puneture and balloon dilatation or bow-knife cutting of the gastric wall or the eolonic wall.The liver was damaged while a needle knife penetrated the gastric wall.On the contrary,no organs were damaged during the needle knife penetra- ted the eolonic wall under direet visualization through the transgastric approach.It was difficult to find the gallbladder or the oviduct with a"single arm",but it was easy to see them with the double routes.It was easier to close the colonic incision than to close the gastrie wall with Endoclips.Conclusion Combined transgastric and transcolonic route for NOTES is feasible and it seems to be easier to show a target compared with a single route.
