Objective To investigate the changes of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + regulatory T cells( Treg) in peripheral blood of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD( AECOPD) , and analyze the relationship of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg with insulin resistance. Methods A total of 79 patients with AECOPD were divided into four groups according to disease severity( 11 cases in stage Ⅰ,31 cases in stage Ⅱ,28 cases in stage Ⅲ, an 9 cases in stage Ⅳ) .42 healthy volunteers were recruited as control. Fast blood glucose( FBG) and fast insulin( FINS) were measured for calculating the insulin resistance index. The CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg were detected by flow cytometry. The relationship between the proportion and number of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg with insulin resistance was statistically analyzed. Results Compared with the healthy control group, the levels of FBG, FINS, and insulin resistance index in the AECOPD patients were significantly higher ( P lt; 0. 01, P lt; 0. 05) . The proportion and number of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg in peripheral blood decreased significantly( P lt; 0. 01, P lt; 0. 05) . The insulin resistance index increased with the severity of AECOPD while the proportion and number of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg in peripheral blood decreased. The insulin resistance index in the AECOPD patients of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ were higher than those of stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ. The proportion and number of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg in the AECOPD patients of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly lower than those of stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ. Both the proportion and number of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg were negatively correlated with insulin resistance ( r = - 0. 633, - 0. 871, P lt; 0. 01) . Conclusions CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg cells might may play important role in modulating insulin resistance in AECOPD. The more serious the disease, the lower the CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg and the worse insulin resistance.

The specific binding of T cell receptors (TCRs) to antigenic peptides plays a key role in the regulation and mediation of the immune process and provides an essential basis for the development of tumour vaccines. In recent years, studies have mainly focused on TCR prediction of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens, but TCR prediction of MHC class II antigens has not been sufficiently investigated and there is still much room for improvement. In this study, the combination of MHC class II antigen peptide and TCR prediction was investigated using the ProtT5 grand model to explore its feature extraction capability. In addition, the model was fine-tuned to retain the underlying features of the model, and a feed-forward neural network structure was constructed for fusion to achieve the prediction model. The experimental results showed that the method proposed in this study performed better than the traditional methods, with a prediction accuracy of 0.96 and an AUC of 0.93, which verifies the effectiveness of the model proposed in this paper.

Methods According to the Cochrane reviewer’s handbook, all the clinical controlled trials involving mycosis fungoides being treated with interferon were retrieved. The Cochrane Collaboration’s software RevMan 5.0.24 was used for meta-analysis. Results Only six papers including 142 patients met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses indicated the results as follows: IFN-α monotherapy was more effective than placebo [OR=69.36,95% CI (3.71-1 296.64)] and a traditional Chinese medicine (Di-jing-dan) [OR=35.53,95% CI (1.78-710.56)], but no significant difference was found between INF-α and thymic peptide [OR=15.11, 95% CI (0.71-322.61)], and between IFN-α monotherapy and IFN-α combined with etretinate therapy [OR=3.10, 95% CI (0.79-12.12)]; and there was no significant difference between the efficacy of IFN-γ combined narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) therapy and that of single NB-UVB therapy [OR=15.00, 95% CI (0.46-485.32)]; Influenza-like side effects occurred to 90% of all the patients, which were usually slight and easy to release. Conclusion Although there are some mild side effects, interferon is safe to treat MF.
Objective To investigate the expression of T cell receptor (TCR) Vβ8.3 gene on CD4+ T lymphocytes in the rats with experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU). Methods Eighteen Lewis rats were divided into EAU, complete Freund′s adjuvant, and the control group. Inter photoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) R16 peptide was synthesized using Fmoc procedure for induction of EAU. Magnetic absorption cell sorting (MACS) me thod was used to isolate the CD4+T lymphocytes from the spleen of the rats. Flow cytometry was used to monitor the efficiency of isolation. The expression of TCR Vβ8.3 gene segment on CD4+T lymphocytes was determined by fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results EAU was successfully induced in the Lewis rats immunized with IRBP R16 peptide. The proportion of CD4+T lymphocytes isolated by means of MACS was statistically higher than that before isolation (P＜0.001). The expression of TCR Vβ8.3 gene segment on CD4+ T lymphocytes in EAU rats was significantly higher than that in the control (P＜0.05). Conclusions There is a predominant usage of antigen-specific TCR Vβ 8.3 gene in EAU rats induced by IR BP R16 peptide, which may serve as a target for immunotherapy of EAU.

The pathogenesis of Vogt-Koyanagi Harada disease (VKH) has not yet been fully defined. Current studies mainly suggest that VKH is actually an autoimmune disease, especially related to the immune response mediated by various signal transduction pathways involved in the function of T cells. In recent years, the influence of the balance imbalance of various T cell subsets in cellular immunity on the pathogenesis of VKH has been a hot research direction. Currently, T helper cell 17/T regulatory cells, balance is the focus of clinical research, meanwhile, new discoveries and potential clinical treatment schemes have been made for related cellular pathways, particularly the Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription pathway and NF-kappa B pathway. The exploration of B cells in the pathogenesis of VKH has also achieved initial results through the successful application of various targeted drugs. In the future, further screening and localization of genes or proteins that are abnormally regulated or expressed in VKH, for which early comprehensive and in-depth exploration will be helpful, thus improve the efficacy of clinical treatment programs and develop new therapeutic targets.
ObjectiveTo compare the clinical recovery and immune response between laparoscopic-assisted and open D2 gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. MethodsThe clinical data of 53 patients with advanced gastric cancer from January 2012 to October 2013 were studied prospectively. According to random number table, patients were randomly divided into laparoscopic-assisted group(LA group, n=27) and open operation group(OO group, n=26). Operative time, blood loss, time to passage of flatus, time to resume soft diet, after bed time, postoperative hospital stay, and number of retrieved lymph nodes were compared respectively between the two groups. The changes in CD3, CD4+, CD8+, IgG, IgA, IgM, and CRP were examined respectively by using flow cytometry and immunoturbidimetric assays on the preoperative day 1, and on the postoperative day 1 and 7. ResultsThe operative time was longer significantly in LA group than that in OO group(P < 0.05). The mean blood loss, the first flatus time, after bed time, and postoperative hospital stay in the two groups were all different statistically(P < 0.05), and all were better in LA group. However, the mean number of retrieved lymph nodes and the time to resume soft diet were not significantly different in the two groups(P > 0.05). On the day 1 and 7 after operation, the CD3, CD4+, and CD8+ significantly decreased as compared with those preoperatively in two groups(P < 0.01, P < 0.05). On the day 1 after operation, the levels of IgG, IgA, and IgM significantly decreased as compared with those preoperatively in two groups(P < 0.05). Those immunoglobulin in LA group recovered to close to the level before surgery, but in OO group sustained lower level(P < 0.05). On the day 1 and 7 after operation, CRP level significantly increased as compared with those preoperatively in two groups(P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Those changes of above index were not significantly different between the LA group and OO group on the day 1 after operation(P > 0.05). All index recovered gradually in the two groups on the day 7 after operation and were better in LA group(P < 0.05, except IgA). ConclusionLaparoscopic radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer resulted in a quicker clinical recovery and a lesser depression to the perioperative cellular and humoral immune function.
