ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of interleukin-35(IL-35)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)inhibition of eosinophil activation against allergic rhinitis(AR) by Bifukang. MethodOne hundred patients were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group,50 cases in each group. The control group was given mometasone furoate nasal spray,and the treatment group was given Bifukang by nasal packing. The course of treatment was 28 days. The clinical efficacy,nasal classification and visual analogue scale(VAS) score of the two groups were observed before and after treatment. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the expression levels of inflammatory factors [interleukin(IL)-4,IL-10,IL-17,IL-35] and Eotaxin and CC chemokine receptor-3(CCR3)in serum and nasal secretion of the two groups. The expression levels of STAT1,STAT3 and STAT4 were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR).The content of immunoglobulin G(IgG) and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+were detected by ELISA and flow cytometry. ResultAfter treatment, compared with before treatment, the levels of IL-4 and IL-17 in serum and nasal secretion in 2 groups were decreased, while the levels of IL-10 and IL-35 were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expression of STAT1, STAT2 and STAT3 in nasal secretions were significantly decreased (P<0.05). IgG and CD4+/CD8+ were decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05, P<0.01).After treatment,compared with the control group,the levels of IL-4 and IL-17 in serum and nasal secretions of the treatment group were decreased,while the levels of IL-10 and IL-35 were increased (P<0.05). The expression of STAT1,STAT3 and STAT4 in the treatment group was significantly inhibited compared with the control group after treatment (P<0.05). In addition, the post-treatment serum CD4+/CD8+ and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were reduced in the treatment group compared with those of the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). During the treatment,there were no abnormal changes in heart,liver,kidney function and routine blood and urine tests in the two groups. ConclusionBifukang has a good effect on allergic rhinitis,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of IL-35/STAT3 pathway,the inhibition of eosinophil activation and the improvement of related immune function.

The unipolar/bipolar pacing mode of pacemaker is related to its circuit impedance, which affects the battery life. In this study, the in vitro experiment scheme of pacemaker circuit impedance test was constructed. The human blood environment was simulated by NaCl solution, and the experimental environment temperature was controlled by water bath. The results of in vitro experiments showed that under the experimental conditions similar to clinical human parameters, the difference between the circuit impedance of bipolar mode and unipolar mode is 120~200 Ω. The results of the in vitro experiment confirmed that the circuit impedance of bipolar circuit was larger than that of unipolar mode, which was found in clinical practice. The results of this study have reference value to the optimization of pacing mode and the reduction of pacemaker power consumption.
