Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant human interferon α-2b on influenza virus in vitro.Methods Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 and influenza B/Y virus were inoculated into Vero cells and different concentrations of interferon α-2b and oseltamivir were added.Numbers of virus plaques were observed and calculated,and quantitative RT-PCR were used to assess the inhibitory effect of interferon α-2b and oseltamivir in vitro.The nuclear export of viral ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes were monitored under fluorescence microscope.Results Virus plaque test showed that influenza A viruses subtype H1N1 were significantly inhibited when 10 μg/μL interferon α-2b and 10 μg/μL oseltamivir were added,and the numbers of plaques were 7.5 × 108 and 15 × 108 PFU/mL,respectively;the inhibitory effect of oseltamivir was better than that of interferon α-2b.Influenza B/Y viruses were also inhibited when 10 μg/μL interferon α-2b and 10 μg/μL oseltamivir were added,and the numbers of plaques were 1.1 × 108 and 1.5 × 108 PFU/mL,respectively.Quantitative RT-PCR results showed that the cycle threshold (CT) values of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 and influenza B/Y virus were much higher when 10 μmol/L interferon α-2b and 10 μmol/L oseltamivir were added.CT values of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 were 16,26 and 35 before and after inferferon α-2b and oseltamivir were added.CT values of influenza B/Y virus were 18,27 and 31 before and after interferon α-2b and oseltamivir were added.Reduction in the nuclear export of viral RNP in influenza A virus subtype H1N1-infected Vero cells was also observed when 10 μmol/L interferon α-2b were added.Conclusion Interferon α-2b has significantly inhibitory effect on both influenza A virus subtype H1N1 and influenza B/Y virus in vitro.

Objective : By testing the tensile strength of the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/bacterial cellulose(BC) composite membrane and its effect on the proliferation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts, its potential as new bone tissue engineering membrane were studied. Methods : PVA⁃BC films of different proportions and pure PVA films were prepared by self⁃evaporation method. The tensile strength of each group was tested. The group with the highest tensile strength was immersed in deionized water for 0. 5 h to measure its wet tensile strength. The microstructure of pure PVA film and the film with the highest tensile strength was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) .X⁃ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared ( FTIR) spectroscopy were used to analyze pure PVA, pure BC,and the film with the highest tensile strength respectively. Cell counting kit⁃8 (CCK⁃8) was applied to detect the survival rate in the blank control group, the pure PVA film group, and the composite film group with the highest tensile strength. Results : PVA⁃BC composite films were successfully prepared, X⁃ray diffraction and FTIR analysis revealed the co⁃presence of PVA and bacterial cellulose in the composite film. The initial tensile strength of the composite membrane increased with the BC ratio. When the concentration ratio of PVA to BC was 10 ∶ 7, the tensile strength reached (155. 5 ± 14. 7) MPa, and wet samples reached (13. 8 ± 1. 2) MPa. The CCK⁃8 test of NIH/3T3 showed that there was no significant difference among the PVA⁃BC composite film group, pure PVA group and blank control group after 1,4 and 7 days of cell culture ( P > 0. 05 ) . Conclusion PVA⁃BC film fabricated by blending method obtain certain mechanical properties and biocompatibility in both wet and dry states, which may be an appropriate candidate as a GBR membranes for clinical application.
