OBJECTlVE To study the anti-HBV activity of prepared recombinant human serum aIbu-min-interferon α-2b fusion protein(HSA-IFNα-2b) in vitro. METHODS HepG2 ceIIs were infected with recombinant adenovirus with green fIuorescence protein and 1.6-foId HBV DNA(AdGFP-HBV). The ex-pression of HBV antigens,HBsAg and HBeAg in cuIture medium was detected by ELISA assay. The tox-icity of HSA-IFNα-2b on HepG2 ceIIs was evaIuated by mTT assay.The reIative expression of HBV RNA in ceIIs and the absoIute quantity of HBV DNA in cuIture supernatant were determined by quantitative PCR assay. The activity of HBV enhancer Ⅰ was detected by DuaI-Reporter gene assay. RESULTS HBV couId repIicate and express in HepG2 ceIIs after infection with AdGFP-HBV. The expression of HBsAg and HBeAg in cuIture serum of HepG2 ceIIs infected with AdGFP-HBV decreased by 51.32%(P﹤0.01)and 50.26%(P﹤0.01),respectiveIy,when HSA-IFNα-2b 500 kU·L-1 was added. The same concentration of HSA-IFNα-2b didn't inhibit the proIiferation of HepG2 ceIIs,but inhibited HBsAg in a concentration-dependent manner. The regression formuIa between HBsAg inhibitory rate(Y)and con-centration of HSA-IFNα-2b(X)was Y=21.11 IgX+11.91(r 2 = 0.954),IC50 = 63.76 kU·L-1 . HBV RNA in ceIIs and HBV DNA in the cuIture serum decreased by 52.83%(P﹤0.01)and 53.07%(P﹤0.01), respectiveIy,when HSA-IFNα-2b 500 kU·L-1 was added. The activity of enhancer Ⅰ decreased by 40.04%(P﹤0.01)when HSA-IFNα-2b 500 kU·L-1 was added. CONCLUSlON The ceII modeI of HBV repIication for evaIuating anti-HBV agents is successfuIIy estabIished. HSA-IFNα-2b exhibits noticeabIe anti-HBV effect invitro.

Objective To provide theoretical basis for researchers and institutions to conduct research in stroke according the multiple dimension analysis of stroke research paper cooperation nationally.Methods Using the scientometrics and social network analysis for data mining of 95883 stroke literature collected.Results The result show that quantity of paper publishing are increasing annually,the most common cooperation was co-authorship of 2~3 people,cooperation among institutions mainly focused in big cities like Beijing,Shanghai,Guangzhou at its core has taken shape,regional cooperation formed a scattering cooperation with Beijing as the center,research topics has shifted from cognition and treatment to prognosis,rehabilitation and related chronic disease gradually.Conclusions It is necessary to expand the scale of coopreation in stroke study,policies encouraging cooperation should be adopted,strengthen regional cooperation between west China and middle-east,establish a multi-stage stroke unit and strengthen stroke treatment from the multi-level and multi-angle,pay more attention to the occurrence and development of chronic diseases associated with stroke.And finally,contribute to the further development of stroke research.

Sufficient and organized sleep is a key factor during the developmental process of infancy while disrupted sleep schedule and diseases might lead to sleeping disorders in infants. Breastfeeding is considered to be the most beneficial way to meet the nutritional needs of infants for optimal growth and development. The α-lactalbumin-tryptophan-melatonin axis, nucleotides, and other factors are breast milk components that may affect infant sleep. Meanwhile, diet, feeding schedule, tobacco smoking, alcohol intake, and caffeine consumption will affect the circadian rhythms which might lead to the fluctuations of sleep-influencing factors in breast milk. This study reviews literature of previous studies on this topic to summarize information that can be considered for both breastfeeding practice and future basic research on the establishment of organized sleep patterns in infants.

The interleukin-10 (IL-10) family is expressed in various types of cells and has a wide range of biological functions, and it plays an important role in the development and progression of hepatic fibrosis. Hepatic fibrosis is a chronic liver disease characterized by abnormal repair of hepatic tissues after injury, activation of hepatic stellate cells, and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix. The IL-10 family members include IL-10, IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24, IL-26, IL-28, IL-29, and IL-35, with similarities in structure and function, and changes in their expression levels are closely associated with the progression of hepatic fibrosis. Moderate upregulation of the expression of IL-10 family members can help maintain the quiescent state of hepatic stellate cells, promote the transformation of macrophages to anti-inflammatory phenotype, and regulate the activity of natural killer cells, thereby inhibiting inflammatory response, regulating cell apoptosis and autophagy, and finally reversing the progression of hepatic fibrosis. This article discusses the mechanism of action of IL-10 family members and their application in traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine therapies, in order to provide new thoughts for the treatment of hepatic fibrosis.
