Objective To explore the percentage changes of peripheral T , B cell subsets and NK cells in chronic HBV infectors under different immune states and hepatitis B cirrhosis . Methods Seventy-five chronic HBV infectors, including 20 cases with immune clearance, 20 cases with immunodeficiency (inactive) and 35 cases with cirrhosis, and 20 healthy control were enrolled. The percentages of peripheral T and B lymphocyte subsets and NK cells were detected by Flow Cytometry. The differences of the groups were analyzed. Results Comparing with the control group, CD4+T cells were decreased in the other four groups (P<0.05). The sequence of CD4+T cells, from high to low, was the control group, the immunodeficiency group, the immune clearance group, the compensated cirrhosis group and the de-compensated cirrhosis group. CD4+/CD8+T cell and NK cell were lower , but CD8+T cell and B cell were higher in immune clearance group than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Patients in immunodeficiency group had lower ratio of CD4+/CD8+T cell and higher CD8+T cell than those in the control group (P < 0.05). In all the groups, patients with de-compensated cirrhosis showed highest ratio of CD4+ to CD8+ T cells and B cells, but lowest CD3+T, CD8+ T and NK cells (P < 0.05). Conclusions Results suggests immune dysfunction exists in patients with chronic HBV infection. It has potential clinical value in understanding patients′ immune states and progression of disease by detecting peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets and NK cells.

Objective To understand the epidemiological situation of human parasitic diseases in Jinhu County,so as to pro?vide the evidence for formulating further control strategy. Methods The investigated local residents were sampled by the ran?dom cluster sampling method in 1989,1999 and 2015. The infections of intestinal helminthes were detected by Kato?Katz tech?nique,the eggs of Enterubius vermicularis were examined by cellophane anal swab for children,the intestinal protozoa were ex?amined by the saline smear and iodine staining methods. Results The total rates of parasitic infections were 62.57%,9.32%and 0.49%in 1989,1999 and 2015,respectively. Compared to those in 1989 and in 1999,the infection rate in 2015 was de?creased by 99.22%and 94.74%,respectively. The numbers of detected parasite species were 14,10 and 4 in 1989,1999 and 2015,respectively. The intensities of infections were mainly mild in three investigations,and the intensities of all the infections in 2015 were mild. The species of infected parasites were mainly single,however,multiple infections were observed in 1989,in?cluding 4 parasite species(0.72%)and 3 parasite species(7.02%). Only in 1989,the difference between sexes was significant and the infection rate of the female was higher than that of the male(χ2=18.01,P<0.01). Conclusions The infection rates of human parasites are decreased gradually and stabilized at the low level in Jinhu County. However,the surveillance work still should be strengthened to consolidate the achievement.

Objective To evaluate the effect of integrated control measures on soil-transmitted nematodiasis so as to provide the evidence for formulating the appropriate control strategies and measures in Jinhu County,Jiangsu Province. Methods Since 1995,the comprehensive control measures were carried out for soil-transmitted nematodiasis,and the measures included deworm-ing,health education,safe water,sanitation and environmental remediation. The effects of the comprehensive control measures were evaluated by the investigations of the prevalence of soil-transmitted nematodiasis,awareness of health knowledge,and behav-iors of residents. Results From 1995 to 2012,646 437 person-times were administrated in deworming medication with 2.48 times per capita;the benefit rate of safe water was 97.90%;the popularity rate of harmless toilets was 86.89%. The awareness rate of health knowledge increased from 54.05%in 1996 to 95.60%in 2012,the difference between them were statistically significant (χ2=230.92,P<0.01);the rate of correct health behaviors increased from 59.07%in 1996 to 96.40%in 2012,the difference between them had statistical significance(χ2=202.69,P<0.01). The prevalence of soil-transmitted nematodiasis decreased from 62.57%in 1989 to 1.21%in 2012,the difference had statistical significance(χ2=1 016.92,P<0.01). The infection rates of Asca-ris lumbricodes,hookworm and Trichuris trichiura were 0.58%,1.12%and 0,respectively in 2012,and compared with the rates of those infections in 1989,the decline rates were 94.96%,97.28%and 100%respectively,the differences between them were sta-tistically significant(χ2A sc aris =129.50,χ2hookworm=544.62,χ2Tri ch uris =254.19,all P<0.01). Conclusion The comprehensive control strategies and measures are effective and soil-transmitted nematodiasis has been controlled in Jinhu County.

RNA interference (RNAi) has exhibited huge potentials on anti-HIV-1 therapy research. The obtainment of RNAi element targeting to HIV-1 highly effectively and specifically was crucial for relevant research. Recent reports had described that microRNAs (miRNAs) posses more characteristics of inhibition and expression mechanisms than small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). In this study we explored the construction of artificial miRNA targeting to HIV-1 effectively and specifically. Sixteen siRNAs sequences were selected based on the conserved regions in the HIV-1 pol gene. ShRNA expression vectors were co-transfected with HIV-1 clone pNL4-3 to evaluate the abilities of siRNAs to inhibit HIV-1 expression. The pol1026 sequence was selected from candidates. The target sequence in the stem-loop structure of the well-characterized native miR-30a was replaced with pol1026 sequences, and the artificial miRNA expression vectors were co-transfected with the HIV-1 clone pNL4-3, results showed that HIV-1 can be effectively inhibited by miR-1026E. Target specificity of miR-1026E was confirmed by co-transfection assay with reporter plasmids containing different target sequences. The miR-1026E expression element was then inserted into Lentivirus which was used as a vector to transduce the MT-4 cells, MT-4-miR1026E expressing miR-1026E stably was cloned from transduced cells. The MT-4-miR1026E cell effectively inhibited HIV-1 replication in vitro. And the intracellular miR-181 and miR-16 expression levels and statl mRNA levels were not affected by the expression of miR-1026E in MT-4-miR1026E cells. miR-1026E is a promising candidate for future research.

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of the Thyroid Imaging Report and Data System proposed by American Radiological Society (ACR-TIRADS) for differential diagnosis in thyroid nodules, and compare ACR-TIRADS to the TIRADS proposed by Kwak et al.(K-TIRADS) and the ultrasound-based risk stratification system evaluated by American Thyroid Association (ATA-Risk Stratification).
Methods:
The clinical data of 1 760 patients with 1 912 thyroid nodules from 8 hospitals in Jiangsu province were retrospectively analysed. All of them were categorized based on ultrasound-based risk stratification systems. The ROC curve was established to assess and compare the diagnostic value of the systems.
Results:
The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of ACR-TIRADS was 0.830, with high sensitivity and negative predictive value (86.9% and 87.5%, respectively), and relatively low specificity and positive predictive value (64.1% and 62.9%, respectively). The sensitivity and specificity of K-TIRADS were up to 84.9% and 76.1%, respectively. The AUC of ATA-Risk Stratification was 0.852, with relatively high specificity (83.4%), and low sensitivity (79.4%). There were significant differences in the AUC among the three ultrasound-based risk stratification systems, of which K-TIRADS was the highest (

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is the most common form of acute leukaemia in adults, with increasing incidence with age and a generally poor prognosis. Almost 20% of AML patients express mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (mIDH2), which leads to the accumulation of the carcinogenic metabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), resulting in poor prognosis. Thus, global institutions have been working to develop mIDH2 inhibitors. SH1573 is a novel mIDH2 inhibitor that we independently designed and synthesised. We have conducted a comprehensive study on its pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and safety. First, SH1573 exhibited a strong selective inhibition of mIDH2 R140Q protein, which could effectively reduce the production of 2-HG in cell lines, serum and tumors of an animal model. It could also promote the differentiation of mutant AML cell lines and granulocytes in PDX models. Then, it was confirmed that SH1573 possessed characteristics of high bioavailability, good metabolic stability and wide tissue distribution. Finally, toxicological data showed that SH1573 had no effects on the respiratory system, cardiovascular system and nervous system, and was genetically safe. This research successfully promoted the approval of SH1573 for clinical trials (CTR20200247). All experiments demonstrated that, as a potential drug against mIDH2 R140Q acute myeloid leukaemia, SH1573 was effective and safe.
