IL-17,as a pro-inflammatory cytokine,is one of the early initiation factors of the inflammato-ry response induced by T cells.It can induce and regulate multiple immune responses.Recent studies have re-vealed that myeloid neutrophils,macrophage,mast cell and other innate immune cells all can secrete large a-mount of early responding IL-17 in organs suffering ischemia/hypoxia,and in turn can activate,amplify and re-cruit neutrophils to the reperfusion-damaged tissue to release large amount of free radicals and lysozyme that cause IRI.Researchers have also provided evidence that appropriate administration of anti-IL-17 mono-antibody to neutralize IL-17 during early reperfusion stage would reduce the tissue damage.The purpose of this review is to summarize the research progress of the effects of IL-17 produced by innate immunocyte on organ reperfusion injury.

OBJECTIVE:To provide theoretical support for the scientific and reasonable policy-making of 23-valent pneumococ-cal polysaccharide vaccine(PPV-23)in elderly. METHODS:Retrieved from CJFD,Wanfang Database,Elsevier and PubMed,lit-erature about the pharmacoeconomics evaluation of PPV-23 in elder were selected and statistically analyzed in respects of cost stud-ies,effect indexes and research perspectives. RESULTS:Totally 13 literatures were included,involving 900 472 patients,who were older than 60 years old. Study locations were mainly Colombia,the United States,Italy,Belgium and China. Study results showed,each additional quality-adjusted life-year(QALY)cost was between $ 9 239-$ 33 000 in respect of cost;cost-effectiveness ratio was between $ 9 239-$ 45 161/QALY in respect of effect indexes. Most researches showed PPV-23 in elderly older than 65 years old had certain cast-effectiveness. Only a research in Netherlands held the idea that PPV-23 in elderly was not considered cost-effectiveness.CONCLUSIONS:Putting PPV-23 inelderly has certain cost-effecctiveness and most countries has put it into nation-al immunization program. The present researches can't ensure the economy of putting ppv-23 in elderly in china,so it needs more researches with high quality to ensure it.

Objective:To determine the clinical features of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) and the risk factors for central compartment lymph node (CCLN) metastasis in PTMC. Methods:Data of 1 401 patients with PTMC who were treated in Tianjin Medi-cal University Cancer Institute and Hospital between January 2014 and December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to study the risk factors. Results:With regard to clinicopathological features, the sex ratio is 1:3.4 in patients with PTMC. CCLN metastasis affected 427 (30.5%) of the total 1 401 patients. Age (χ2=14.587, P<0.01), sex (χ2=21.636, P<0.01), tumor multifocality (χ2=35.505, P<0.01), tumor size (χ2=58.868, P<0.01), tumor site (χ2=8.385, P<0.05), and extracapsular/extraglandular invasions (χ2=26.481, P<0.01) were significantly correlated with CCLN metastasis. For patients with a soli-tary primary tumor, tumor location in the lower third of the thyroid lobe was associated with a higher risk of CCLN metastasis (48.1%). The male gender, age<45 years, tumor size>6 mm, extracapsular spread, and tumor bilaterality were independently correlated with CCLN metastasis. Conclusion:A prophylactic neck dissection of the central compartment must be considered particularly in male PT-MC patients with age<45 years, tumor size>6 mm, extracapsular spread, and tumor bilaterality.
