Objective To explore the expression characteristic of T regulatory cell (Treg)/T help cell (Th)17 and the correlation to disease progression in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients undergoing antivirus treatment,and to explore their roles in pathogenesis of CHB.Methods A total of 53 patients with CHB (CHB group) and 21 healthy controls (healthy control group) were selected,CHB patients included mild 18 cases,moderate 16 cases and severe 19 cases.The expression of Treg and Th17 were detected by flow cytometry and compared.The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT),total bilirubin (TBIL),cholinesterase,albumin were measured by automatic biochemical machine and for correlation analysis.Results The levels ofTh17,Treg,Treg/Th17 were (2.13 ± 0.65)%,(2.99 ± 0.68)% and (6.07 ± 1.18)%,(5.14 ± 0.96)% and 2.86 ± 0.67,1.73 ± 0.45 in CHB group before and after treatment for 24 weeks and (3.59 ± 0.75)%,(4.02 ± 0.77)%,1.04 ± 0.34 in healthy control group.There were significant differences (F =14.78,10.12,17.19; P < 0.01).The level of Th17 in mild,moderate and severe CHB was gradually decreased,but there was no significant difference (F =1.10,P =0.337).The level of Treg in mild,moderate and severe CHB patients was gradually increased,but there was no significant difference (F =0.54,P =0.585).The level of Treg/Th17 was gradually increased with aggravation (2.58 ± 0.59,2.76 ± 0.63,3.21 ± 0.71),and there was significant difference (F =3.15,P < 0.01),the level of Treg/Th17 in severe CHB patients was significantly higher than that in mild,moderate CHB patients (P <0.05).The level of Treg/Th17 had significantly positive correlation with ALT,TBIL (r =0.272,P=0.000; r =0.226,P=0.000).Conclusion Treg/Th17 balance not only relates with the pathogenesis of CHB,but also with the related immune inflammatory of liver tissue.

This paper analyzes the reasons for quarantined patients' incomplete obedience to medical orders and comes up with relevant countermeasures as follows.1.External compulsory medical treatment should be combined with patients' internal self-consciousness.2.It is necessary to strengthen the mutual communication between doctors and quarantined patients,and observation for patients' condition.3.It is necessary to strengthen mental care and respect for patients' legal rights.4.A positive role should be taken in improving treating environment and give mental support from family members.
