Objective To investigate epidemic status and explore the influential factors of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in the servicemen of armed forces and to provide reference basis for control and prevention. Methods According to the questionnaire, the test of PPD (purified protein derivative), X-ray checking and sputum bacteria culture method had been used. A 1∶1 matched case-control study was carried out in the servicemen with 162 cases and 162 controls. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for the relevant factors. Results The prevalence rate of activated tuberculosis, the bacteriological positive prevalence rate, the smear positive prevalence rate and PPD positive reaction rate respectively were 176.66/105, 33.12/105, 22.08/105 and 34.31%. The prevalence rate of officers was obviously higher than that of soldiers, and the army resident in the countryside was higher than that in the city. The prevalence rate of high training intensity was higher than that of low training intensity. With the increasing of the age and time duration in army, the prevalence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis and the positive rate of PPD reaction presented a ascending tendency. Single factor conditional logistic regression analysis showed that the occurrence of PTB was closely associated with training intensity, body mass index, the number of scar, housing condition, the contact history of infection source, area of enrollment and character, their ORs value were 5.12, 0.37, 0.42, 0.51, 1.82, 0.57 and 1.63 respectively (P

This study examined whether 1-methyl-tryptophan [1-MT, an indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor] could reduce CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) proliferation and improve the anti-tumor efficacy of dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with tumor cell lysate in the mice bearing pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The models of pancreatic adenocarcinoma were established in C57BL/6 mice by subcutaneous injection of Pan02 cells. Eight mice which were subcutaneously injected with PBS served as control. The expression of IDO was determined in tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) and spleens of the murine pancreatic adenocarcinoma models. The prevalence of Tregs was measured in the TDLNs and spleens before and after 1-MT administration. The dendritic cells were pulsed with tumor cell lysate for preparing DC vaccine. The DC vaccine, as a single agent or in combination with 1-MT, was administered to pancreatic adenocarcinoma mice. The anti-tumor efficacy was determined after different treatments by regular observation of tumor size. The results showed that the levels of IDO mRNA and protein in tumor-bearing mice were significantly higher than those in the normal control mice. The percentage of Tregs in the spleen and TDLNs was also higer in tumor-bearing mice than in normal control mice (P<0.05). Foxp3 expression was significantly lower in the TDLNs and spleens of tumor-bearing mice administrated with 1-MT than that in normal control mice. Furthemore, in the mice that were administered 1-MT plus DC vaccine, the tumor was increased more slowly than in mice treated with DC vaccine or 1-MT alone, or PBS on day 36 (P<0.01). Our results indicated that 1-MT may enhance anti-tumor efficacy of dendritic cells pulsed with tumor cell lysate by downregulating the percentage of Tregs.

Mechanosensitive ion channels are mechanoreceptors that convert mechanical stimulation on the cell surface into intracellular electrical signal or chemical signal. In recent years, Piezo protein as a mechanically activated cation channel in eukaryotes has gradually become a research hotspot. Piezo1 and Piezo2 proteins are expressed in different organs and tissues of mammals, and tissues such as bones and joints are directly related to mechanical conduction. The intracellular effects caused by the conduction of mechanical force play a very important role in the treatment and prevention of orthopedic diseases. In this paper, the researches on Piezo protein mechanically activated cation channels in bone tissue, cartilage tissue, bone marrow tissue, intervertebral disc tissue and orthopedic diseases were reviewed.
