Objective To explore the role of Th17/IL-17 in the pathogenesis of asthma in children.Methods Thirty asthma children (asthma group) and 20 healthy volunteers (control group) were selected as our subjects.Percentage of Th17 cell in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) of asthma children was detected by flow cytometry,the level of IL-17 and IgE in plasma were examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Results Proportion of Th17 cells in PBMC of children in asthma group was (1.83 ± 1.01) ％,significantly higher than that in control group ((1.02 ± 0.49) ％ ; t =3.896 ; P ＜ 0.01).The IL-17 level in control group was (19.11 ± 3.23) ng/L,significant lower than that in asthma group ((34.23 ± 4.88) ng/L;t =6.261 ;P ＜ 0.01)).The Ig E level in asthma group was (399.4 ± 45.1) ng/L,significantly higher than in control group((58.2 ± 19.7) ng/L;t =7.244,P ＜0.01).The level of IL-17 in plasma had a postive relationship with the proportion of Th17 cells(r =0.882,P ＜0.01),but not relationship was seen with the level of IgE (r =0.375,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Th1 7 cell is associated with asthma development of children,and the reason may due to probably aggravating asthma condition through increasing inflammation secreting IL-17.

Objectives To analyse the economic and social benefit of improvement of latrines in countryside of Hunan province,China.Methods 6 counties were selected as observational points based on the character of geographical position and the types of non-hazard treatment of feces.The lab tests,questionnaire investigation,retrospective survey and mathematical models were used and the prevalance rate of intestinal infectious diseases and infectious rate of parasite were analyzed.Results All the three types of non-hazard treatment facilities fulfiled the requirement of The Hygeian Standard of the Fecal Decontamination.Compared with the villages without improvement of latrine,the infectious rates of parasite was lower by 61.32%,the prevalance rate of intestinal infectious diseases by 45.25%,and the incidence rates of infectious diarrhea by 42.62% in villages where the latrines improved.The improvement of latrine will save 28 379.1 yuan for one year and 2.45 yuan for one person in preventing intestinal infectious diseases and infectious diarrhea.Conclusion Three types of non-hazardous treatment of feces have obvious effectiveness on disease prevention,which will produce distinct economic and social benefit.

Objective To analyze the multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) angiographic features of hepatic hemangioma accompanied with peripheral arterial-portal shunt(APS),and to assess the MSCT diagnostic ability and clinical value for peripheral APS.Methods 12 cases of hepatic hemangioma accompanied by peripheral APS underwent triphase enhanced MSCT scan,the images were post-processed with maximum intensity projection(MIP),volume rendering(VR) and then analysed.Results During hepatic arterial phase,the peripheral APS and transient hepatic parenchymal enhancement(THPE) could be visualized on MIP and VR.APS were classified into four types according to the findings on VR and MIP.TypeⅠ: Branch of the portal veins early enhancement in peritumoral wedge-shaped enhanced area,more frequently appeared as parellel track sign;TypeⅡ: Showed early opacification of small portal branchs near tumors,APS more frequently found in peritumoral wedge-shaped enhanced area;Type Ⅲ:Included both typeⅠand typeⅡ signs;Type Ⅳ: Only showed peritumoral THPE.Conclusion MSCT angiography provides a new effective technique for demonstrating and understanding peripheral APS and THPE.

Objective: To explore the heat injury level of vocal cord by different power of the Diomed 25 semi conductor laser so as to provide scientific evidence for clinical laser therapy of larynx diseases. Methods: Canine was used. The power of laser was set on 5, 10 and 20 W respectively, and the time of laser exposure was fixed on 2 s.When canine vocal cord was hit by laser in vivo , the depth and width of the tissue heat injury were measured. Results: When laser hit with 5, 10 and 20 W for 2 s exposure time, the corresponding depth of the tissue heat injury were 0.2 0.4,0.4 0.6,0.8 1.0 mm respectively, the corresponding width of the tissue heat injury were 1.0 1.7,1.7 2.0,2.0 2.6 mm respectively. There was significant difference between the tissue heat injury levels caused by different laser power under the same exposure time( P

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Insulin like growth factor-ⅡmRNA binding protein3 (IMP3) in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods One hundred and fifteen cases of GIST were subjected to immunohistochemical staining for IMP3 (SP method) and ki67 (iVisionTM method ). The relationship between IMP3 expression with clinicopathologic parameters and Ki67 proliferation indexes were analyzed. In situ hybridization detection of IMP3 mRNA was performed in 20 cases of GIST positive. Results The expression rate of IMP3 was 56.2%(65/115) in GIST positive. A significant correlation can be found between IMP3 expression and tumor of infiltration , coagulative necrosis , metastasis , nuclear atypia , diameter , mitotic count , risk grade of NIH (P < 0.05), while there was no significant correlation between IMP3 and gender, age, primary location, categories of cell type (P>0.05). There was positive correlation of IMP3 expression and Ki67 labeling indexes by Spearman analysis. Positive expression with IMP3 can be observed in 3 cases of recurrence.It may play important role in invasive and development and may be an important factor of prognosis in GIST.

Objective To investigate the functional activity and connectivity of the insular cortex at rest in persons with low back pain (LBP).Methods Twelve healthy subjects (male 6,female 6 ; age 24.8 ± 3.3 years) were given fMRI 3.0T scans at rest.Back muscle pain was then induced with an intramuscular injection of 3％ hypertonic saline solution and a second scan was performed.The pain-free and in-pain fMRI data were compared using paired t-tests to highlight any changes in the functional connectivity of the anterior and posterior insular cortex on both sides.Pain severity was quantified using a visual analogue scale (VAS).Results Ratings of LBP severity peaked at 6.02 ± 1.96 on the VAS.The functional connectivity of the inferior insular cortex with the frontal cortex,the thalamus and the parahippocampal gyrus was enhanced when the subjects were in pain,but connectivity with the posterior cingulate cortex,the precuneus,the temporal cortex,the paracentral lobule and the cerebellar tonsil was reduced.The inferior parietal lobule exhibited significantly enhanced connectivity with the anterior insular cortex,but reduced connectivity with the posterior insular cortex.In addition,the medial cingulate cortex displayed decreased functional connectivity with the anterior insular cortex,but increased functional connectivity with the posterior insular cortex when the subjects were in pain.Conclusion This study has revealed impeded functional connectivity of the insular cortex when experiencing LBP at rest.This may possibly be related to pain's disruption of cognition and emotion.
