Objective To investigate the changes and roles of Fc gamma receptors (FcγR) expressed on monocytes in the immune pathogenesis of Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP).Methods Thirty children of HSP and 15 health controls were enrolled in this study.The expressions of FcγR Ⅰ and FcγRⅢ on monocytes were determined by flow cytometry,and real-time PCR was performed to detect the transcription levels of FcγR Ⅱ a,FcγR Ⅱ b,cytokines(IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α,IFN-α),chemokine(IP-10,RANTES,iNOS),and BLyS/April in monocytes isolated by microbeads.The plasma concentrations of IL-4,IL-10 and TNF-α were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results (1) The expressions of FcγR Ⅰ and FcγR Ⅲ on monocytes in patients with HSP were significantly up-regulated compared with healthy controls.Transcription level of FcγR Ⅱ a on monocytes in patients with acute HSP was found to be higher than that in healthy controls while the inhibitory FcγR Ⅱ] b mRNA was significant down-regulated(P＜0.05),which resulted in a higher ratio of FcR Ⅱ a/Ⅱ b in patients with acute HSP.(2) The expressions of cytokine/chemokines factor such as IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α,IP-10,RANTES,and iNOS in patients with HSP was detected to be higher than those in healthy controls(P＜0.05).In addition,expression levels of BLyS/April were up-regulated during acute HSP(P＜0.05),the positive correlations were observed between the FcγR Ⅱ a/FcγR Ⅱ b and the cytokine/chemokines factor in monocytes(P＜0.05).(3) Plasma concentrations of IL-4,IL-10 and TNF-α were significantly elevated during acute HSP(P＜0.05),and a negative correlation was observed between concentrations of TNF-α and the mRNA level of FcγR Ⅱb in monocytes.Conclusion The abnormal expression of the cytokines and the imbalance of stimulatory and inhibitory FcγR of monocyte in acute HSP.

Objective To investigate the effects of the intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) on the expression of FcγR Ⅱ b and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in children with Kawasaki disease (KD).Methods 25 children with KD and 15 healthy controls were enrolled in this study.The levels of TLR4 expression on monocytes were assessed by flow cytometry.Real-time PCR was performed to detect the transcription levels of FcγR Ⅱ b,TLR4 signaling molecules(MyD88,TRAF-6,TAK1) and cytokines(IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α) in monocytes.The concentrations of TNF-α in plasma was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results (1) Compared with healthy controls,the expression of TLR4 and the signaling molecules in the patients were significantly up-regulated but decreased after treatment with IVIG (P＜0.05).(2)The levels of FcγR Ⅱb expression from the patients were higher than those from healthy controls,and decreased after treatment with IVIG(P＜0.05).(3) The levels of cytokine factor expression such as IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in the patients were found to be higher than those in healthy controls (P＜0.05) ; plasma concentrations of TNF-α were significantly elevated during acute KD (P＜0.05).(4)There were significantly correlations to follow between FcγR Ⅱb and the levels of cytokine,TLR4 expression in monocytes (P ＜0.05).Conclusion IVIG can up regulate FcγR Ⅱb expression and down regulate TLR4 expression which might inhibit the inflammatory response.

Objective　To evaluate the therapeutic efficiency of reversed lamellar keratoplasty for bullous keratopathy, Terrien's marginal degeneration and ocular chemical burns.Methods　Twenty eyes of patients with bullous keratopathy, twelve eyes with Terrien's marginal degeneration, ten eyes with chemical burns were recruited in this study.Diseased tissues were removed by means of dissection.Reversed lamellae corneal tissues which had been prepared by cryopreservation were thawed and rinsed. Then the prepared posterior corneal lamellae was turned over, endothelium facing upwards. The diameter of the graft should be 0.5～1.0mm larger than that of the recipient bed. The reversed donor posterior lamellae was sutured into the host keratectomy bed with 10-0 nylon sutures continuously or interruptedly.Results　Allograft reaction episode occurred only one (chemical burn) of the total 42 eyes enrolled.The grafts of the rest 41 eyes maintained clear or semitransparent for 1～5 years. Graft edema could be observed within 2～4 weeks postoperatively. Postoperative interface separation was not found. For all 20 patients with bullous keratopathy, the symptoms of pain disappeared. The visual acuity improved 2～3 lines of Snellen among eleven of twelve patients with Terrien's marginal degeneration. The visual acuity improved 2～3 lines of Snellen with four patients with chemical burns.Conclusion　The technique of reversed lamellar keratoplasty can be applied successfully for tectonic reconstruction of corneal surface such as bullous keratopathy, Terrien' s marginal degeneration and also chemical burns.The effects of therapy was satisfactory.

Objective To prospectively investigate the optimal setting for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with breast cancer by comparing the effects of different preparation methods and injection sites of 99Tcm-SC in sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping and detection.Methods Two batches of 99Tcm-SC were prepared by boiling for 3 min (radiotracer 1) and 5 min (radiotracer 2),respectively.Radioactive chemical purity (RCP) and size of colloid particles were measured at 10 min,1 h,2 h and 4 h after the preparation.One hundred and forty-seven patients with breast cancer were involved and randomly divided into 3 groups.Group A consisted of 40 patients with periareolar injection of radiotracer 1,group B of 40 patients with periareolar injection of radiotracer 2,and group C of 67 patients with peritumoral injection of radiotracer 2.Lymphatic mapping was performed for all patients using SPECT/CT preoperatively and blue dye was subdermally injected over the tumor.The detection rate of the axillary and internal mammary SLN was recorded.One-way analysis of variance,independent two-sample t and x2 tests were used to analyze the data.Results There was no significant difference of RCP between the two radiotracers at 10 min,1 h,2 h and 4 h after preparation (t =-0.267,-0.794,0.826 and-0.977,all P＞0.05).Compared with radiotracer 1,the percentage of particles smaller than 100 nm in radiotracer 2 reduced significantly ((73.72±2.36) ％ vs (65.25±3.56)％,t=6.436,P＜0.05) and the mean effective particle size was significantly larger ((45.27±6.42) nm vs (75.59t7.04) nm,t=7.315,P＜0.05).In groups A,B and C,the detection rate of the internal mammary SLN was 70.0％ (28/40),47.5％ (19/40) and 17.9％ (12/67),respectively,with significant difference (x2=29.525,P＜0.05).In groups A,B and C,the detection rate of the axillary SLN was 100％ (40/40),95.0％ (38/40) and 97.0％ (65/67),respectively,without significant difference (x2 =2.686,P＞ 0.05).Conclusion For SLNB of patients with breast cancer,the axillary and internal mammary SLN could be better detected by SPECT/CT lymphatic mapping using radiotracer prepared with a shorter boiling time,via periareolar injection,and combined with subdermal injection of blue dye.

Objective To investigate the effects of fasting serum triglycerides (TG) levels at different baseline on the risk of new-onset acute pancreatitis (AP) in in-service and retired employees of Kailuan Group.Methods A total of 125 178 in-service and retired employees of Kailuan Group who received health check-ups from 2006 to 2009 and had no AP history but had complete TG data were prospectively enrolled.According to quantile level,the baseline serum fasting TG level of study subjects were divided into ＜1.01 mmol/L group (n=42 128),1.01 to 1.64 mmol/L group (n=41 711) and ＞ 1.64 mmol/L group (n=41 339).The incidence of new-onset AP of these three groups was analyzed.The survival curve was plotted by Kaplan-Meier method.The cumulative incidence rate was calculated and tested by log-rank method.And multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was performed to calculate hazard ratios (HR) of baseline fasting serum TG level for AP.Results After followed up for (7.36±1.23) years,a total of 193 cases of AP occurred.The incidences of AP in ＜1.01 mmol/L group,1.01 to 1.64 mmol/L group and ＞ 1.64 mmol/L group were 1.43 events/10 000 person-years,2.37 events/10 000 person-years and 2.49 events/10 000 person-years,respectively.The cumulative incidence rates of AP in ＜1.01 mmol/L group,1.01 to 1.64 mmol/L group and ＞1.64 mmol/L group were 0.10％ (44/42 128),0.18％ (73/41 711) and 0.18％ (76/41 339),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =9.998,P=0.007).The results of multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis indicated that the risk of AP increased in 1.01 to 1.64 mmol/L group and ＞ 1.64 mmol/L group compared with that of ＜1.01 mmol/L group,HR and 95％ confidence interval (CI) were 1.56 (1.07 to 2.29) and 1.57 (1.06 to 2.32),respectively.After excluded onset AP within one year,with a control group of ＜1.01 mmol/L group,the results of multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis indicated that the HR and 95％CI for AP of 1.01 to 1.64 mmol/L group and ＞ 1.64 mmol/L group were 1.70 (1.11 to 2.58) and 1.69 (1.10 to 2.60),respectively.Conclusion Baseline fasting serum TG levels over 1.01 mmol/L may increase the risk of AP.

Objective:To analyze the serology and molecular typing of Listeriamonocytogenes isolated from patients in Henan, and to explore the epidemic situation of listeriosis, construct the molecular traceability database of patient isolates, so as to provide laboratory basis for listeriosis traceability. Methods:From January 2015 to July 2020, 71 positive Listeriamonocytogenes cases were monitored in 16 sentinel hospitals in Henan. Eighty samples of positive cases were collected for detection, and 71 positive strains were obtained for molecular typing. According to the Entry-exit Inspection and Quarantine Industry Standard of China (SN/T 2521-2010) and the instructions for the use of diagnostic serum of Listeriamonocytogenes, 80 strains of Listeriamonocytogenes were serotyped, and PFGE cluster analysis was performed according to the User Manual of National Foodborne Disease Molecular Traceability Network. Results:A total of 71 positive listeriosis cases were detected, of which 38 cases were perinatal cases and 33 cases were non-perinatal cases. Among the 80 positive cases of listeriosis, 58.75% (47/80) were from perinatal cases, 20.00% (16/80) were from non-perinatal cases with underlying diseases, the proportion of>1 month-≤5 years old,>5-≤60 years old and >60 years old was 7.50% (6/80), 12.50% (10/80) and 1.25% (1/80), respectively, in non-perinatal age group. There were 5 types of specimens, 73.75% (59/80) were blood, 15.00% (12/80) were cerebrospinal fluid, and 3.75% (3/80) were stool, intrauterine swab and sputum. 80 strains of Listeriamonocytogenes were classified into three serotypes, Type 1/2b, Type 1/2a and Type 4b accounted for 61.25% (49/80), 35.00% (28/80) and 3.75% (3/80) respectively. The 71 strains of Listeriamonocytogenes were digested by AscⅠ, and 58 bands were obtained. Each band type included 1-4 strains, and the similarity was 60.8%-100%. GX6A16HA0005, GX6A16HA0011, GX6A16HA0030, GX6A16HA0023, GX6A16HA0029 and GX6A16HA0054 were dominant bands, including 4, 4, 4, 3, 2 and 2 strains respectively. Four strains of GX6A16HA0005 from 2016, 2018 and 2020 were isolated. One strain from 2016 and one strain from 2018 were from Puyang City. Four strains of GX6A16HA0011 were isolated from samples of 2016, 2018 and 2020, including two strains of 2020 from Luoyang City. Four strains of GX6A16HA0030 were isolated from 2018 samples from Luoyang City, Shangqiu City and Zhengzhou City, respectively. Three strains of GX6A16HA0023 were isolated from 2017 and 2018 samples, of which one strain from 2017 and one strain from 2018 were from Luoyang City. Two strains of GX6A16HA0029 were isolated from 2018 samples, from Kaifeng City and Puyang City respectively. Two strains of GX6A16HA0054 were isolated from 2020 from Pingdingshan City and Anyang City, respectively. The PFGE patterns of 4 strains with different serotypes were the same. Conclusion:Listeriosis cases in Henan are mainly found in patients during the perinatal period, and in elderly, new-born, and low immunity population. The infection type is mainly invasive infection; the serotypes of epidemic strains are 1/2a, 1/2b and 4b, and the results of PFGE typing of strains are diverse. There is a consistent phenomenon of cross-year or different regions in the same year, different time zones in the same year and the same region; phenotyping and genotyping or different genotyping techniques should be combined in the traceability analysis.

Objective This study aims to explore the formation of the dilemma of"giving care"for disabled elderly people in nursing homes from the perspective of active health.Methods Purposive sampling was used to select caregivers and disabled elderly people from a nursing home in Chongqing as research subjects from July 2022 to December 2022.One-on-one in-depth interviews were conducted and Colaizzi's 7-step thematic analysis method was employed to collect and analyze the interview data.Results 4 themes were identified:①the dominance of the"giving"care concept,including the cultural thoughts of filial piety,passive acceptance of care characteristics and consumer psychology regarding paid services;②insufficient"participation"care ability,including lack of knowledge regarding active health and a weakening of skills to promote participation;③the hindrance to"transformation"of care models,including objective limitations in terms of human resources and delays in adapting aging environments;and ④the decline in"utilization"of internal abilities,including excessive avoidance of potential risks,a heavy workload of care and poor quality of individual care.Conclusion The formation of the dilemma of"giving care"for disabled elderly people in nursing homes is affected by multiple factors such as social background,service system,supply resources,and management mode.Transforming disabled elderly individuals from a state of"passive giving care"to"active participation in their health"is an important measure to realize the concept of positive aging and healthy aging.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Baihuan Xiaoyao Decoction （Xiaoyaosan added with Lilii Bulbus and Albiziae Cortex） in alleviating depression-like behaviors of juvenile rats by regulating the polarization of microglia. MethodSixty juvenile SD rats were randomized into normal control， model， fluoxetine， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （5.36， 10.71， 21.42 g·kg^-1， respectively） Baihuan Xiaoyao decoction groups. The rat model of juvenile depression was established by chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS）. The sucrose preference test （SPT） was carried out to examine the sucrose preference of rats. Forced swimming test （FST） was carried out to measure the immobility time of rats. The open field test （OFT） was conducted to measure the total distance， the central distance， the number of horizontal crossings， and the frequency of rearing. Morris water maze （MWM） was used to measure the escape latency and the number of crossing the platform. The immunofluorescence assay was employed to detect the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS， the polarization marker of M1 microglia） and CD206 （the polarization marker of M2 microglia）. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was employed to determine the mRNA levels of iNOS， CD206， pro-inflammatory cytokines ［tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， interleukin （IL）-1β， and IL-6］ and anti-inflammatory cytokines （IL-4 and IL-10） in the hippocampus. Western blotting was employed to determine the protein levels of iNOS and CD206 in the hippocampus. The levels of IL-4 and IL-6 in the hippocampus were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. ResultCompared with the normal control group， the model rats showed a reduction in sucrose preference （P<0.05）， an increase in immobility time （P<0.05）， decreased motor and exploratory behaviors （P<0.05）， and weakened learning and spatial memory （P<0.05）. In addition， the model rats showed up-regulated mRNA and protein levels of iNOS and mRNA levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， Baihuan Xiaoyao decoction increased the sucrose preference value （P<0.05）， shortened the immobility time （P<0.01）， increased the motor and exploratory behaviors （P<0.05）， and improved the learning and spatial memory （P<0.01）. Furthermore， the decoction down-regulated the positive expression and protein level of iNOS， lowered the levels of TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 （P<0.01）， promoted the positive expression of CD206， and elevated the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 （P<0.01） in the hippocampus of the high dose group. Moreover， the high-dose Baihuan Xiaoyao decoction group had higher sucrose preference value （P<0.01）， shorter immobility time （P<0.01）， longer central distance （P<0.01）， stronger learning and spatial memory （P<0.01）， higher positive expression and protein level of iNOS （P<0.01）， lower levels of TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， lower positive expression and mRNA level of iNOS （P<0.05）， and higher levels of IL-4 and IL-10 （P<0.05， P<0.01） than the fluoxetine group. ConclusionBaihuan Xiaoyao decoction can improve the depression-like behavior of juvenile rats by inhibiting the M1 polarization and promoting the M2 polarization of microglia in the hippocampus.
