OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of Interleukin2 (IL-2) signaling pathway related factors and Treg cell in nasal tissue of nasal polyps, so that to investigate the possible mechanism of IL-2 signaling pathway in the progress of nasal polyps and the correlation between IL-2 pathway and Treg cell. METHOD: Thirty patients were enrolled for study, including the patients with nasal polyps and those with only deviated nasal septum as normal control. The nasal polyps tissue and the turbinate mucosa of the patients were collected during surgery. The expression levels of IL-2 and IL-2R were measured by means of ELISA. The level of pSTAT5 was evaluated by Western blot. We measured the level of Foxp3 mRNA in the tissue by real-time PCR, and the proportion of Treg cells was evaluated by flow cytometry. Finally. we analyzed the correlation between IL-2 pathway related factors and Treg cells in nasal polyps. RESULT: The expression levels of IL-2. IL-2R and pSTAT5 were significantly decreased in the nasal polyps compared with normal control (P < 0.05), and the level of Foxp3 mRNA and proportion of Treg cells in patients with nasal polyps were significantly lower than in normal control (P < 0.05). Moreover, there was positive correlation between the levels of IL-2 pathway related factors and the levels of Foxp3 mRNA and Treg cells proportion in nasal polyps. CONCLUSION The activated state of IL-2 signaling pathway got changed in nasal polyps tissue, the level of which was positively correlated with the expression of Treg cells, indicating that the IL-2 signaling pathway may play a crucial role in the development of nasal polyps, and the decreased level of Treg cells in nasal polyps may result from the downregulation of IL-2 signaling pathway.

Objective To analyze rural doctors′ social mentality with the theory of relative deprivation.Methods 642 rural doctors from 225 villages of 1 5 counties in Shandong were selected for a questionnaire survey.The factor analysis method was used to reduce the scale dimension and simplify the scale.Analysis of rural doctors′vertical and horizontal relative deprivation was made based on different reference groups.Results Rural doctors tend to identify themselves with rural teachers and doctors in township hospitals,and 60.0% identify themselves as the low income group.39.9% of them found a higher income,while 33.5% of them found a higher social status.76.3% of them found their social contributions are higher.91.4% of them hold that villagers benefit from the new healthcare reform policies,while 65.9% of them hold themselves as benefiting from such policies.This indicates a low sense of achievement.Conclusions Compared with the reference groups,rural doctors feel an obvious sense of relative deprivation comparing both horizontally and vertically.They hold themselves as underpaid and have little sense of achievement for the policies.In this consideration,the government should increase subsidies to lift pay for rural doctors,and to identify their legitimacy,in order to stabilize these medical workers.

Objective To evaluate risks of symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) patients complicating iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS).Methods Between January 2010 and January 2015,patients diagnosed with lower extremity DVT and IVCS at our institution were included.The odds of symptomatic PE versus lower extremity DVT complicated with IVCS were assessed using Logistic regression models.Its association with age,gender,thrombophilic risk factors,degree of stenosis,filter implantation and symptomatic PE were assessed.Results Of 759 patients,410 patients had inferior vena cava (IVC) filters implanted and 349 had not.In filter placement group,3 patients suffered from symptomatic PE among 32 with thrombi intercepted in IVC filters.In the group with no IVC filters placement,39 cases suffered from symptomatic PE.Symptomatic PE was in positive correlation to respiratory disease and right lower extremity DVT,and negative correlation to IVC filter implantation.Conclusions In lower extremity DVT patients complicated with IVCS,the right lower extrenity DVT and respiratory disease are risk factors of symptomatic PE.IVC filter implantation prevents symptomatic PE from happening in most patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and dissemination mechanism of 16S rRNA methylase genes in extended-spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs)-producing Enterobacteriaceae in China.Methods PCR amplification and DNA sequencing were used for screening and identifing 16S rRNA methylase genes and ESBLs genes.Minimal inhibitory concentrations(MICs)of the antimicrobial agents were detected by Etest.Conjugation and plasmid extract were performed to study dissemination mechanism of 16S rRNA methylase genes and ESBLs genes.Results Only one strain.Klebsiella oxytoca strain ZJ157 was screened as positive for armA gene from 447 ESBLs-producing isolates,which also contained CTX-M-15 and TEM-1 genes.It was resistant to aminoglycesides,ciprofloxacin,and most β-lactams,except carbapenems,polymyxin E and tigecyeline.Resistance to amikacin and β-lactams was transferred to a recipient Escherichia coli 600 by conjugation experiment.arntA.CTX-M-15 and TEM-1 genes were detected in the transconjugant.A plasmid about 55 kb was extracted from Klebsiella oxytoca ZJl57 and the transconjugant.Conclusions A 16S rRNA methylase gene armA was detected in an isolate of Klebsiella oxytoca.armA,CTX-M-15 and TEM-1 genes can be co-transferred in the same plasmid leading to multi-drug resistance.

Objective To explore the appropriate method for mechanical thrombectomy, selection of vena cava filter and its duration in place. Method Fifty-five cases of severe acute deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs were enrolled. Vena cava filter was first placed, then thrombectomy was performed with Amplatz thrombectomy device (ATD). The iliac vein lesions were dilated by balloon followed by temporary arterivenous fistula construction. Result Procedures were all successful in 52 cases, iliac vein stenosis was found in 47 cases and dilated by balloon. Permanent vena cava filters were placed in 20 cases while temporary in 32 cases. Fifty cases were followed-up for 3～30 monthes. Tumefaction disappeared in 46 cases leaving no after thrombosis syndrome. Conclusion This comprehensive modality is effective, less traumatic and of quick recovery. During the procedure, possible residual thrombi should always be under close attention and stenosis in iliac veins be confirmed by repeated venography. In most cases, placing a temporary vena cava filter was the best choice.
