Objective To determine the frequency of Th22 cells and expression of their related cytokines in peripheral blood of patients with alopecia areata(AA), to investigate their significance, and to explore the role of T lymphocytes in the occurrence of AA. Methods A total of 38 patients with AA were enrolled from Central Hospital of Minhang District in Shanghai between January 2015 and May 2016, and served as the case group. At the same time, 38 healthy people served as the control group. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from these patients and controls. Flow cytometry was performed to determine the percentage of Th22 cells, and enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)to measure serum levels of interleukin?22(IL?22)and IL?17. Results Compared with the control group, the case group showed significantly increased percentages of Th22 cells, Th17 cells, IL?17+IL?22+CD4+T cells and IFN?γ+IL?22+CD4+ T cells(all P < 0.01), as well as serum levels of IL?22 and IL?17(both P < 0.05). A significant increase was observed in percentages of Th22 cells, Th17 cells, IL?17+IL?22+CD4+T cells and IFN?γ+IL?22+CD4+T cells, as well as serum levels of IL?22 and IL?17, in patients with severe AA compared with those with mild AA, and in patients with active AA compared with those with stable AA (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Th22 cells and their related cytokines may participate in the occurrence, development and prognosis of AA.

Objective Analyzing the impact of teachers' background characteristics on the Students' evaluation to improve the quality of teaching from the angle of the teachers professional development. Methods Based on the data of students' evaluation of teaching of Shanghai medical college of Fudan University from 2008 to 2011, the article analyzed the teachers' gender, age, job title, diploma, and other relevant background characteristics. Excell2007 was used to build dataset and the data was analyzed statistically by software of SPSS 11.0 and expressed with x±s. The statis-tical method of one-way analysis of variance was used to compare the teachers with different genders, education backgrounds, ages and professional titles, showing statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Results comparative analysis showed that no statistically significant differences existed in fac-ulty teaching evaluation scores among the teachers of different genders or different education back-grounds(P=0.613 9、0.891 0). There were however significant differences in teaching evaluation of teachers of diverse ages and professional ranks(P=0.017 3 and P=0.032 5). Conclusions According to the analysis results of faculty teaching evaluations, associate professors' teaching evaluation scores were lower than intermediate grade teachers', and the score of the teachers between the age of 41 to 45 was lower than that of the teachers between the age of 36 to 40. Therefore individual variations and various social backgrounds of teaching faculties should be taken into consideration and the corre-sponding countermeasures for the professional development of teachers should been put forward. In addition, the cultivation of new teachers, young and middle-aged teachers should be strengthened, and the proportion of teaching evaluation in the Performance Appraisal should be increased.

Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2018;43(9):1032-1036
To investigate the influential factors for depression and anxiety in patients with chronic wounds, and the relationship between depression and anxiety and social support or quality of life.
Methods: We used convenience sampling method to enroll 150 patients with chronic wounds. Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used to assess the level of depression and anxiety, quality of life, and social support in patients with chronic wounds.
Results: The detection rate of depression and anxiety in patients with chronic wounds was 45.3% and 14% respectively. In patients with chronic wounds, age was positively correlated with SDS and SAS scores (P<0.05), while education, eight factors of SF-36, objective support, subjective support, and social support scores of SSRS were negatively correlated with SDS and SAS scores (P<0.05). Further multiple regression analysis showed that the duration of wounds, physical functional score, role physical score and role emotional score of SF-36, objective support score, subjective support score, support utilization score, and social support score of SSRS were the independent influential factors for SDS score (P<0.05). Education, general health score, social functional score, and mental health score of SSRS were the independent factors for SAS score (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The lower quality of life and social support of patients with chronic wounds could increase their depression and anxiety. While treating patients with chronic wounds, medical staff should also pay attention to the mutual influence between anxiety and depression, or quality of life and social support.

Objective:To investigate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of primary ovarian leiomyoma (POL) and improve the understanding of the disease.Methods:The clinical data of four cases of POL confirmed by surgical pathology who received treatment in Huadu District People's Hospital between September 2006 and August 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. MRI manifestations and pathological features of POL were analyzed.Results:In four cases, POL occurred in unilateral ovarium and appeared to be a single quasi round mass with complete capsule and clear boundary. A solid mass was observed in three cases and a cystic solid mass in one case. Subcapsular effusion was observed in three cases with a relatively large tumor body. Typical MRI findings were iso-intensity or slight hypo-intensity signal on T 1WI, hypo-intensity signal on T 2WI and diffusion-weighted images. The solid part on enhanced scan was enhanced synchronously with the uterus. Atypical T 2WI findings included cystic changes as shown by varying degrees of hyper-intensity signal, and the cystic change area was not enhanced. The internal signal and pathological features of POL were similar to those of uterine leiomyoma. Conclusion:The research results are highly innovative and scientific. MRI is of great significance in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of POL.
