The PD-1 with PD-L1 Axis Is Pertinent with the Immune Modulation of Atrial Fibrillation by Regulating T Cell Excitation and Promoting the Secretion of Inflammatory Factors by Guodong Chang, Yingwei Chen, Zichang Liu, Yong Wang, Wenkun Ge, Yongan Kang, Shuling Guo

“…Forty-five patients with atrial fibrillation admitted to the cardiology department of our hospital from July 2019 to March 2021 were selected to be included in the atrial fibrillation group, and another 45 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group to compare the changes of T cell CD69 and human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) expression in the peripheral blood of the two study groups; compare the changes of programmed death factor-1 on CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of the two groups (PD-1) expression changes and PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression changes on peripheral blood myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) cells; compare the changes of interleukin-2, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, and interleukin-17A (IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) concentrations on peripheral blood inflammatory factors in the two groups; and isolate the two groups of peripheral blood mDCs cells; α interferon upregulated PD-L1 expression in the cells and analyzed the effect of PD-L1 expression on the ability of mDCs to stimulate T cells to secrete cytokines.Results. …”

Deep Soft Rock Tunnel Perimeter Rock Control Technology and Research by Gang Liu, Yu Yang

“…This paper relies on the actual project, analyzes the destabilization mechanism of the roadway, analyzes the deformation of the peripheral rock of the deep roadway, determines the physical and mechanical parameters of the peripheral rock through indoor tests, establishes numerical analysis model, proposes to adopt the joint support scheme of anchor rods + anchor cables + a 36U-type steel metal bracket + a laying net + a laying mat + filling behind the wall, and monitors the displacement of peripheral rock of the roadway on a regular basis by using the numerical display convergence meter, and then obtains the displacement of the peripheral rock of the roadway after excavation as well as under the influence of the quarrying movement. …”
