Objective To study the relationship between the activity of interleukin-4 and interferon-? with steroid effect in children with primary nephrotic syndrome before initiation of steroid therapy. Methods The activity of interleukin-4 and interferon-? in the supernatants of monocytes cell cultures activated with phytohemagglutinin was assessed with enzyme-linked immunosorbentassay in 31 children with primary nephrotic syndrome before iniatiation of steroid therapy. After steroid treatment for 8 weeks, data of steroid sensitivity and resistance were analyzed. Results Before initiation of steroid treament, in steroid sensitivity children with primary nephrotic syndrome an increased proliferative response of interleukin-4 was found (P0.05). Conclusion The activity of interleukin-4 is a useful tool for evaluating the likelihood of steroid sensitivity in children with primary nephrotic syndrome.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to conduct a preliminary study on the possible role and significance of interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-27 in the pathogeneses of oral lichen planus (OLP).

METHODSThirty cases of patients with OLP (fifteen cases of reticular OLP and fifteen cases of erosive OLP) were enrolled in this study, and twenty cases of healthy people served as controls. Lymphocyte subsets CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD19+, and CD16+56 [natural killer cell (NK)] were tested using flow cytometry, and humoral immunity [immunoglobulin (Ig)G, IgA, IgM, C3, C4] were examined using nephelometry assays. IL-12 and IL-27 contents in serum of patients with OLP and normal controls were detected through enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The correlations between the levels of IL-12, IL-27, immune status, and clinical characteristics of patients with OLP were analyzed, respectively.

RESULTSCD3+, CD4+, and CD8+in patients with OLP were markedly lower than the normal value, whereas CD 19+ of OLP in patients was significantly higher than the normal value (P<0.05). IgM inpatients with OLP was increased, whereas C4 was declined (P<0.05). IL-12 and IL-27 levels showed significant upregulation or ULF patients compared with control groups (P<0.05). Meanwhile, positive correlations existed between IL-12 andIL-27 levels in the serum of patients with OLP (r=0.912, P<0.01). No significant correlations of IL-12 and IL-27 epressions with clinical characteristics of OLP were found (P>0.05). Negative correlations of IL-12 and IL-27 levels with CD16+56(NK) cells were observed (r1 = -0.416, P1 = 0.022; r2 = -0.392, P2=0.032, respectively), whereas a positive correlation existed for IgG (r1=0.445, P1=0.014; n=0.549, P2=0.002, respectively).

CONCLUSIONA cellular immune dysfunction mainly dominate in patients with OLP, accompanied by some degree of humoral-immunity-function disorder. The abnormally high expressions of IL-12 and IL-27 are possibly synergized and promoted inflammation development in OLP. Its promotion takes place through the negatie feedback regulation of humoral immune responses, which are involved in the regulation of immune mechanisms of OLP.

Objective To explore the status quo of medication belief in the patients with myasthenia gravis and analyze their influencing factors,so as to provide reference for health care professionals to develop targeted interventions.Methods A total of 145 patients with myasthenia gravis visiting the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from July 2021 to March 2022 were selected.The Be-liefs about Medicines Questionnaire(BMQ)was used to investigate.The multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relevant influencing factors.Results The scores of medication belief,necessity belief and con-cern belief in 145 patients were(4.17±1.23)points,(19.52±3.45)points and(18.29±4.26)points respec-tively.There was statistically significant difference between the scores of necessity belief and concern belief(P＜0.05).The education level,financial burden,duration of illness,length of medication,number of recur-rent hospitalizations,and inappropriate medication-induced exacerbations had influence on the medication be-lief scores of the patients with myasthenia gravis(P＜0.05).The duration of illness,length of medication and number of recurrent hospitalizations had the influence on the medication necessity scores of patients with my-asthenia gravis(P＜0.05).The financial burden had the influence on the medication concerns scores of the patients with myasthenia gravis(P＜0.05).Conclusion The medication belief in the patient swith myasthe-nia gravis is at a low level,and the number of recurrent hospitalizations and financial burden are the independ-ent risk factors affecting the medication belief scores in the patients with myasthenia gravis.The number of recurrent hospitalizations is an independent risk factor for the score of medication necessity dimension.

Myasthenia gravis crisis (MC) often involves respiratory muscles and requires mechanical ventilation urgently. As non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) technology unceasing development, its use in acute respiratory failure caused by MC shows obvious advantages. However, how to identify the occurrence of MC at early stage, predict the relevant indicators of NIV for MC treatment, and apply different ventilation strategies to improve the effect of treatment are worthy of attention. In addition, the new development of NIV modes in recent years also provides new direction for the treatment of MC. Therefore, this article reviews recent advance in the clinical application of NIV in MC to provide clinical references.

Objective: To investigate the effects of exogenous interleukin (IL)-35 on the balance of helper T cell 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cell (Treg) in peripheral blood of patients with oral lichen planus (OLP). Methods: Totally 12 peripheral blood samples of OLP patients (OLP group, one male and 11 female, 26-68 years old; four cases of reticular OLP and eight cases of erosive OLP) were collected from patients of Department of Oral Mucosal Specialist of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from October to December 2016. During the same period, thirteen normal peripheral blood samples were collected from the Physical Examination Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University (normal control group, one male and 12 female, 20-68 years old). The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were extracted in sterile condition and CD4+ T cells were sorted by flow cytometry (FCM). Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) technique was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of retinoid-related orphan nuclear γt (RORγt) and forkhead box3 (Foxp3). The CD4+ T cells were divided into experimental group and control group. The CD4+ T cells of experimental group were cultured in vitro by adding rhIL-35, and the CD4+ T cells of control group were cultured with the same volume of phosphate buffered saline (PBS). After the completion of the culture, the cells were collected. The expression levels of the same factors were detected by qPCR. Results: The expression [M(Q₂₅, Q₇₅)] of Foxp3 [0.15 (0.09, 0.30)] and RORγt mRNA [1.04 (0.45, 2.15)] in the CD4+ T cells of OLP were significantly higher than those in normal control group [0.04 (0.02, 0.06), 0.10 (0.05, 0.11)] (Z=-4.134, P<0.01; Z=-3.699, P<0.01). The ratio of ROR γt/Foxp3 mRNA in OLP group [6.22(3.67, 15.34)] was higher than that in normal control group [2.50 (1.24, 5.23)] (Z=-2.665, P=0.007). In the CD4+ T cells of OLP patients, the expression of Foxp3 mRNA in the experiment group [0.40 (0.21, 1.22)] was higher than that in the control group [0.15 (0.11, 0.26)](Z=-2.510, P=0.012), and the expression of ROR γt mRNA between two groups showed no significant difference (P>0.05). The ROR γt/Foxp3 mRNA ratio [3.44 (1.55, 8.16)] of the experiment group was lower than that in the control group [6.22 (4.43, 12.21)] (Z=-2.746, P=0.006). Conclusions There was a Th17/Treg imbalance with predominated by Th17 cells in the peripheral blood of patients with OLP. Exogenous rhIL-35 had an immunomodulatory effect on the balance of Th17/Treg.

Objective:To investigate the preoperative evaluation and treatment methods of non-firearm penetrating brain injury (PBI) in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed. The clinical data of 18 children with non-firearm PBI admitted to our hospital from January 2012 to December 2020 were collected.Results:CT angiography was performed in 10 patients and MRI in 8 patients before treatment. CT angiography indicated that the intracranial large vessels were not injured by the foreign bodies. The foreign bodies of 7 patients were removed by craniotomy and the foreign bodies of 3 patients were removed directly under general anesthesia; the foreign bodies of 8 patients were removed directly outside the hospital without anesthesia. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage was noted in 4 patients and intracranial infection in 7 patients after surgery; no foreign body residue or intracranial hemorrhage after surgery was noted. After 3-69 months of follow-up, 3 patients had visual decline, one had limited eye movement, and one had olfactory decline.Conclusion:CT angiography is a safe and effective evaluation method for children with non-firearm PBI, and direct extraction of foreign body under general anesthesia is a feasible surgical method when CT angiography shows that the blood vessels are not hurted by the foreign bodies.
