Article Synopsis
- * It finds that patients with moderate to severe asthma have fewer Treg cells and lower levels of interleukin-10 compared to healthy individuals, while Th2 cells and interleukin-4 are higher.
- * The results suggest that an imbalance favoring Th2 cells over Treg cells could contribute to the worsening of asthma symptoms in these patients.

Objective: To understand the status of chemotherapy and assistance for advanced schistosomiasis patients in Xinjian County, 2005-2009.
Methods: The data of chemotherapy and assistance for patients with advanced schistosomiasis in Xinjian County from 2005 to 2009 were collected and analyzed statistically by using The Information Management System for Advanced Schistosomiasis Chemotherapy and Assistance in Jiangxi Province.
Results: Among 636 cases, the sex ratio of male to female was 1.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the role of various CD4(+) T cell subsets (Th1, Th2, Th17, Tregs) in allergic asthma to better understand its causes beyond the traditional Th2 response.
- 22 patients with mild, 17 with moderate to severe asthma, and 20 healthy individuals were analyzed for immune cell proportions and associated cytokine levels.
- Results showed increased Th2 and Th17 cells in asthma patients, with decreased Tregs, indicating an imbalance that may contribute to asthma severity and control, suggesting the importance of Th17 and Tregs in managing allergic asthma.
