Background and purpose:Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) plays a vital role in the process of anti-tumor immunology. The aim of this study was to investigate whether changes in concentration of IL-2 (50, 200 and 1 000 U/mL) would affect the sub-population and cytotoxic function of cells cultivated by peptide-specific CTL induction systemin vitro and also observe whether using the concentration of IL-2 at a range of 50-1 000 U/mL isbeneifcial to regulatory cells (Tregs) enrichment.Methods:Peripheral blood from 10 healthy donors and 10 cancer patients that were HLA-A2 positive, were collected in the study. HLA-A2 restricted CTL epitope P321 (ILIGETIKI) derived from COX-2 pulsed with different concentrations of IL-2 were used to induce peptides-speciifc CTLin vitro. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze the proliferative capability, the proportion of different T-cell subsets, and secretion of perforin, granzyme B and IFN-γ. IFN-γ secretion was assessed by ELISpot assay.Results:High concentration of IL-2 increased the proliferative activity. The percentage of CD4+ T cells of cancer patient group was signiifcantly higher than that of healthy donor group, while the percentage of CD8+ T cells of cancer patient group was signiifcantly lower than that of healthy donor group. And there was no signiifcant difference in the percentages of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and Tregs among groups with different IL-2 concentrations. No difference was seen in cytokine (perforin, granzyme B, IFN-γ) secretion capacity of CD8+ T cells. ELISpot study revealed that high-dose IL-2 resulted in the increasing of IFN-γ secretion.Conclusion:The sub-population and the function of cells cultured by peptide-speciifc CTL induction systemin vitro are not affected by different concentrations of IL-2. Furthermore, high concentrations of IL-2 (50-1 000 U/mL) do not provide the enrichment for Tregs. Higher concentration of IL-2 is likely to cause high secretion of IFN-γ in ELISpot assay. In order to exclude the distraction of NK cells or NKT cells, the concentration of 50 U/mL is better choice.

Objective:To investigate the effect of human tumor suppressor folliculin (FLCN) on the expression of melanocyte chemokines (MC) mediated by immune factors in vitiligo.Methods:The MC of vitiligo patients that received autologous melanocyte transplantation in the Department of Dermatology, Hangzhou Third People′s Hospital from January to April 2019 were collected. The blister fluid of the white spot and the normal part was taken. Western blot was used to analyze the expression difference of MC and FLCN protein in normal, vitiligo patients and that induced by immune factors; FLCN shRNA lentivirus was constructed by shRNA and transfected into normal MC (FLCN shRNA MC) to interfere with the expression of silenced FLCN gene. The effect of immune factors on chemokines in FLCN shRNA MC was detected by ELISA.Results:The results of Western blot showed that FLCN protein was highly expressed in melanocytes of vitiligo patients, immune factors stimulated FLCN protein expression in normal melanocytes significantly increased ( t=1.27; P<0.001), chemokine CXCL10 and CCL20 also significantly increased ( t=104.53 and 60.21, respectively; P<0.001). The expression of FLCN in FLCN shRNA MC was significantly decreased ( F=1.95, P<0.001); and the high expression of CXCL10 and CCL20 induced by immune factors was significantly inhibited ( F=93.676 and 74.096, all P<0.001). Conclusions:Immune factors can stimulate the expression of CXCL10 and CCL20, which are closely related to vitiligo, while FLCN is a key protein involved in immune factors inducing melanocyte chemokine expression.

Objective:To investigate the role of folliculin in apoptosis of and chemokine secretion by melanocytes mediated by interferon-γ (IFN-γ) .Methods:Normal primary melanocytes were isolated from circumcised foreskin tissues from a healthy male child, and primary vitiliginous melanocytes were isolated from normally pigmented suction-blistered epidermis from patients with vitiligo after suction blister epidermal grafting. Western blot analysis was performed to determine the folliculin protein expression in normal primary melanocytes, primary vitiliginous melanocytes and a human primary melanocyte line PIG1. PIG1 cells stimulated with 10 ng/ml IFN-γ for 48 hours served as induction group, and untreated PIG1 cells served as control group. Real-time quantitative RCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to determine the mRNA expression of folliculin, autophagy-related microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) -Ⅱ and Beclin genes, and Western blot analysis to determine the protein expression of folliculin, Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, as well as phosphorylation levels of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in the above cells. Furthermore, the melanocytes stimulated with 10 ng/ml IFN-γ for 48 hours were divided into several groups: negative control group infected with an empty lentiviral vector, folliculin inhibition group infected with a folliculin-inhibiting lentivirus, autophagy enhancement group infected with a folliculin-inhibiting lentivirus followed by 2-hour treatment with a mTOR inhibitor, autophagy inhibition group infected with a folliculin-inhibiting lentivirus followed by 2-hour treatment with an AMPK inhibitor. Then, flow cytometry was conducted to detect apoptosis of PIG1 cells, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure the concentration of chemokines CXCL10 and CCL20 in the culture supernatant of PIG1 cells in the above groups. Measurement data were compared among multiple groups by using one-way analysis of variance, and multiple comparisons were carried out by using least significant difference- t test. Results:The relative protein expression level of folliculin significantly differed among the normal primary melanocytes (0.850 ± 0.120) , primary vitiliginous melanocytes (1.507 ± 0.170) and PIG1 cells (0.697 ± 0.130; F = 50.09, P < 0.001) , and was significantly higher in the primary vitiliginous melanocytes than in the normal primary melanocytes and PIG1 cells ( t = 4.06, 5.89, respectively, both P < 0.01) . Compared with the control group, the induction group showed significantly increased relative mRNA and protein expression levels of folliculin (both P < 0.01) , but significantly decreased relative mRNA and protein expression levels of LC3Ⅱ and Beclin (all P < 0.01) ; moreover, the induction group showed significantly decreased LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ levels (0.72 ± 0.02) and AMPK phosphorylation levels (0.714 ± 0.023) in the PIG1 cells compared with the control group (1.13 ± 0.02, 1.176 ± 0.002, t = 7.34, 6.67, respectively, both P < 0.01) , but significantly increased mTOR phosphorylation levels (1.051 ± 0.023) compared with the control Group (0.451 ± 0.016, t = 3.81, P = 0.009) . There were significant differences in the PIG1 cell apoptosis rate and concentrations of CXCL10 and CCL20 among the control group, induction group and other treatment groups (all P < 0.001) ; specifically, the PIG1 cell apoptosis rate and concentrations of CXCL10 and CCL20 were significantly higher in the induction group than in the control group, lower in the folliculin inhibition group than in the negative control group, lower in the autophagy enhancement group than in the folliculin inhibition group, and higher in the autophagy inhibition group than in the folliculin inhibition group (all P < 0.05) . Conclusions:Folliculin is highly expressed in vitiliginous melanocytes. Folliculin expression and downstream signaling pathways are regulated by IFN-γ, and folliculin may participate in IFN-γ-mediated melanocyte apoptosis and chemokine secretion via regulating autophagy.

Objective:To evaluate the barrier-free level of village clinics of a city in the aging era, for references in improving the barrier-free medical environment for the elderlies.Methods:The village dectors of 156 village clinics in 12 counties of a city were selected as the objects of a questionnaire survey from Dec.2020 to Jan.2021, with 6 evaluation indexes established, each set with 1-10 points. This questionnaires was used to survey the barrier-free construction levels of village clinics. The data were statistically analyzed by rank sum ratio and quadrant graph model.Results:The barrier-free buildings of such clinics scored 32.86 points in average. Among the six indexes, the barrier-free access and doors(7.21 points) scored the highest, and the barrier-free parking space(4.71points) and toilets(3.28 points) scored the lowest. All the counties of the city fell into four categories, including 2 counties with high degree of aging-high level of accessibility, 4 counties with low degree of aging-high level of accessibility, 4 counties with low degree of aging-low level of accessibility, and 2 counties with high degree of aging-low level of accessibility, according to the quadrant graph model built based on the aging degrees and the barrier-free levels of village clinics.Conclusions:The barrier-free level of the village clinics in a city needs to be further improved, and the barrier-free transformation of parking space and toilets should also be strengthened in the future. The government should take different measures in view of conditions of each county to improve the accessibility of village clinics and facilitate the health care-seeking of elderlies.

Patients with abdominal surgery history always present different degrees of abdominal adhesion. In the past, it was regarded as a relative contraindication of laparoscopic surgery. With the development of minimally invasive concept, reoperative minimally invasive surgery is proposed in clinic to avoid huge trauma caused by multiple open surgeries. In June 2022, a laparoscopic assisted ileostomy reduction was performed for a patient with history of multiple abdominal injuries in Shanghai Changzheng Hospital. Minimally invasive achieved after huge trauma, and it maximized the benefit to the patient.

The cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.96, and 0.82-0.92 for the dimensions.The 2-week retest reliability was 0.99.The total scale score was positively correlated with the validity scale (family resilience scale) ( r=0.882, P<0.001). Conclusion:The family resilience scale for patients with stroke has good reliability and validity and can be used to assess the family resilience of patients with stroke.

Family physicians contracted service is an important choice to deepen the reform of China′s healthcare reform and achieve the strategic goal of " health for all" . In order to effectively promote the contracted service, the central government has successively issued a number of policy documents, which are echoed by the localities in their proactive explorations, achieving remarkable results. But there are also multiple roadblocks hindering the contracted service to progress. This article referred to the three-circle theory and studied policy implementation from the three dimensions of policy value, policy resources, and policy impetus. A thorough analysis of the problems in the implementation process revealed such main problems as insufficient family physicians, inadequacy of supporting policies and low level of policy acceptance among the young healthy age groups. The follow-up work will promote the long-term implementation of the family physicians contracted service policy by enriching the family physicians team, enriching supporting policies, and focusing on promotions to key age groups.

Objective: To investigate the usage of medical and health care APP among female college students, and to understand possible influencing factors, so as to provide reference for medical health care behaviors and personal health among college students. Methods: A stratified random sampling method was used to select 891 female college students from 3 colleges in Weifang. A questionnaire survey on their concentration on their own health, the knowledge, cognition and behavior of medical and health care APP, and Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: There were 55.4% female college students who had used medical and health care APP, and most of them (290) had used fitness and weight loss APP. There was statistical significance of the different usages of students of different degrees, majors and grades(χ2=26.55, 7.72, 13.96, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that educational background, annual medical costs, awareness of medical and health care APP and attitude towards APP prospect were the factors influencing the utilization of medical and health care APP (OR=0.44，0.69，1.36，1.23，P<0.05). Conclusion The usage rate of medical and health care APP is general, and sustained utilization rate is low, the APP should enrich menstrual period consumption and figure report, add video recommendation, interactive dating, and other functions, improve female students medical and health care APP cognition, female college students to change health care APP attitude.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic law of moxibustion in Professor Zhou Meisheng's medical manuscripts for epidemic hemorrhagic fever (EHF) based on data mining and knowledge map technology.Methods:The manuscript data of Professor Zhou Meisheng's moxibustion treatment of EHFwere collected from Infectious Diseases Department of Dangshan County People's Hospital from December 16, 1985 to December 25, 1987. Graphpad Grism 8.0 software was used for descriptive analysis. PHP 5.4 program code was used for association rule analysis. SPSS Statistics 26.0 was used for clustering analysis. Neo4j Community 3.5.25 database was used to analyze the syndrome-weight graph.Results:205 prescriptions were included. There were 21 symptoms with frequency>40, in which the frequency of aversion to cold, fever, rash and irritability was 100%. The main types of moxibustion methods used in the treatment included moxibustion frame fumigation moxibustion, Wanying acupoint moxibustion pen moxibustion, and fire needle instead of moxibustion. There were 29 acupoints with a frequency of >25, including Zhongwan (CV12), Shenshu (BL23) and Mingmen (DU4), etc. Association rules showed that Sanyinjiao (SP6)-Zhongwan (CV12)-Feishu (BL13)-Shenshu (BL23)-Zhiyang (DU9) had the highest correlation. Six effective clustering combinations of moxibustion for EHF were summarized by clustering analysis. The weight graph can obtained the first 30 relationships with high correlation of target syndromes.Conclusions:Professor Zhou applied the idea of "moxibustion for heat syndrome" to the treatment of EHF, and took the method of "acupoint selection according to symptoms" as the main acupoint selection idea for moxibustion treatment of EHF. In clinical practice, moxibustion combined with auxiliary operation of TCM is often used to treat EHF, which can achieve good results.
