Objective To observe the effect ofJiuwei-Sanjie capsuls combined with levothyroxine sodium on IL-17 and IL-23 expression in the patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Methods A total of 76 HT patients were randomly divided into the control group (n=38) and observation group (n=38). The control group was treated with Levothyroxine Sodium, and the observation group was treated with Levothyroxine Sodium andJiuwei-Sanjie capsuls. The expression of FT3, FT4, TSH, TGAb, and TPOAb were detected by chemiluminescent immunoassay. The expression of IL-17 and IL-23 were detected by ELISA analysis. The clinical effect were compared.ResultsThe clinical effect was 94.7% (36/38) in observation group, which was better than that of 81.6% (31/38) in control group (χ2=2.316,P=0.042) . After treatment, the expression of IL-17 (22.32 ± 4.25 ng/mlvs. 31.55 ± 6.84 ng/ml,t=2.416) and IL-23 (14.72 ± 3.42 ng/mlvs. 23.27 ± 5.26 ng/ml, t=2.512) in observation group was lower than that in control group (P<0.05). The expression of TSH (3.04 ± 0.82 IU/mlvs. 4.83 ± 1.22 IU/ml,t=2.355), TGAb (152.71 ± 38.02 IU/mlvs. 238.48 ± 54.18 IU/ml,t=2.406), and TPOAb (121.31 ± 26.23 IU/mlvs. 184.19 ± 42.53 IU/ml,t=2.423) in observation group was lower than that in control group after treatment (P<0.05).ConclusionsJiuwei-Sanjie capsuls can decrease IL-17 and IL-23
expression in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and improve thyroid function.

Objective To investigate the level of plasma GDF-15 in patients with COPD and its clinical value in the diagnosis of COPD in the stable stage and in acute exacerbation stage. Methods From 2015 to 2016, 58 cases of patients with COPD were enrolled ,including COPD patients in the stable stage and in acute exacerba-tion stage. 29 cases of COPD patients diagnosed in our hospital were enrolled in the experimental group ,and 29 cases of age-,gender and body mass index-matched healthy people were enrolled in the control group. Compared and analyzed the blood cell count ,determination of plasma GDF-15 and C-reactive protein were performed and ana-lyzed. Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to compare levels of GDF-15 and C-reactive protein between pa-tients with the stable stage of COPD and those with acute exacerbation stage of COPD. The diagnostic efficacy was compared between GDF-15 and C-reactive protein in differentiatingthe COPD in acute exacerbation period and in the stable period. Results Level of GDF-15 in the stable COPD patients was significantly increased compared with that in the control group. The plasma GDF-15 level was significantly increased in acute exacerbation COPD patients compared to patient with the stable COPD(P<0.001). For the stable COPD patients,GDF-15 level and C-reactive protein level was positively correlated(r = 0.776,P < 0.001). In acute exacerbation COPD patients, GDF-15 level and C-reactive protein level was positively correlated (r = 0.877,P < 0.001). The ROC curves showed that the GDF-15 level on the diagnosis of acute exacerbation COPD patients with an AUC was 0.783(95%CI,0.666~0.900,P<0.001)and with the diagnostic accuracy was 69%. C-reactive protein in the acute exacer-bation of AUC diagnosis of COPD was 0.686(95%CI:0.549~0.823,P<0.01)and the diagnostic accuracy rate was 59%. Conclusion The plasma level of GDF-15 was significantly increased in COPD patients compared with people in the healthy control group. Plasma GDF-15 and C- reactive protein were highly correlated in the stable stage of COPD patients and in acute exacerbation stage of COPD patients. The diagnostic accuracy of GDF in patients with the stable stage of COPD and with acute exacerbation stage of COPD was higher than C-reactive pro tein.
