Objective To analyze the clinical, endoscopic and histopathological features of eosinophilic gastroenteritis ( EG) in children. Methods A retrospective study of 76 children with EG was performed to analyze clinical symptoms, laboratory and imaging results, endoscopic and pathological features, status of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection, treatment and outcomes. Results The main clinical symptoms were abdominal pain in 55. 3%(42/76) cases, vomiting in 39. 5% (30/76) cases and hematochezia in 38. 2% cases( 29/76) . The hemoglobin level decreased significantly in 34 cases ( 44. 7%, 34/76). Peripheral blood eosinophil (EOS) count increased significantly in 9 cases (11. 8%,9/76) and EOS percentage increased significantly in 13 cases(17. 1%,13/76). Total serum IgE elevated in 32 cases ( 54. 2%, 32/59 ) . There were also 18 cases ( 36. 7%, 18/49 ) positive in serum allergen?specific immunoglobulin E ( sIgE) test and 25 cases ( 32. 9%,25/76) positive in fecal occult blood test. Among 51 cases of abdominal ultrasound examination, there were 7 cases of ascites, 4 cases of pelvis fluid and 3 cases of intestinal wall change. Endoscopic examination in 76 cases showed 63 cases ( 82. 9%) of mucosal hyperemia/edema,20 cases ( 26. 3%) of ulceration, 17 cases ( 22. 4%) of erosion, 11 cases ( 14. 5%) of nodularity or hyperplasia and 9 cases ( 11. 8%) of normal mucosa. The pathological examination showed mucosal inflammation with a large number of EOS infiltration(≥20 per HPF).There were 12 cases(15. 8%, 12/76) of H. pylori infection. Among the 76 cases, clinical symptoms improved significantly in 74 patients after treatment with dietary allergen avoidance, anti?allergy medications, antacids, montelukast and corticosteroid, and the total efficacy was 97. 4%. The efficacy of dietary allergen avoidance, anti?allergy medications, antacids and montelukast was 93. 8%( 61/65 ) . The efficacy of corticosteroid was 86. 7%(13/15). Conclusion The clinical manifestations and endoscopic characteristics of EG in children lack specificity. In terms of diagnosis, the elevated total serum IgE and the positive sIgE test may be taken as reference for the diagnosis of EG. The definite diagnosis is based on pathological examination ( EOS infiltration≥20 per HPF).While in terms of treatment, dietary allergen exclusion, anti?allergy medications, antacids and montelukast are highly effective, which can be taken as the first option. There is no need of corticosteroid as routine therapy.

To discuss clinical diagnosis and treatment of cow’s milk protein allergy and cow’s milk protein-induced FPIES (food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome). Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of one infant with milk protein allergy-induced FPIES. Results A 67 days old female on mixed breast and formula feeding developed recurrent diarrhea, abdominal distension, vomiting, mucousy and bloody stools, feeding dififculty, anemia, and failure to thrive since 2 weeks after birth. Laboratory studies showed anemia, increased CRP level and elevation of peripheral white blood count and eosinophil proportion. Milk-speciifc IgE was negative. She was previously hospitalized 4 times, all with admitting diagnosis of“necrotizing enterocolitis”. We treated her with milk protein elimination for 4 weeks and all symptoms were resolved. Milk protein re-challenge test was positive, consistent with clinical features of cow’s milk protein allergy-induced infant FPIES. Conclusions Cow’s milk protein allergy and cow’s milk protein-induced FPIES can present with non-speciifc and variable clinical symptoms and signs, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

BACKGROUNDThe CRF07_BC recombinant strain has been one of the most predominantly circulated HIV-1 strains in China, it is therefore necessary and urgent to develop a relevant animal model to evaluate candidate vaccines targeting HIV-1 CRF07_BC. A highly replication-competent simian/human immunodeficiency viruses (SHIV) construct containing the Chinese CRF07_BC HIV-1 env gene with the ability to infect Chinese rhesus monkeys would serve as an important tool in the development of HIV vaccines. The aim of this study was to examine whether SHIV XJDC6431 with the env fragment from a Chinese HIV-1 isolate virus could infect the human and monkey peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), establish infection in Chinese rhesus macaque.
METHODSA SHIV strain was constructed by replacing the rev/env genes of SHIV KB9 with the corresponding fragment derived from the HIV-1 CRF07_BC strain. The infectious activity of the SHIV clones was determined in vitro in PBMCs from both non-human primate animals and humans. Finally, one Chinese rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) was infected with one SHIV via intravenous infusion.
RESULTSOne SHIV clone designated as SHIV XJDC6431, was generated that could infect macaque and human PBMC. The virus produced from this clone also efficiently infected the CCR5-expressing GHOST cell lines, indicating that it uses CCR5 as its coreceptor. Finally, the virus was intravenously inoculated into one Chinese rhesus macaque. Eventually, the animal became infected as shown by the occurrence of viremia within 3 of infection. The viral load reached 105 copies of viral RNA per ml of plasma during the acute phase of infection and lasted for 10 weeks post infection.
CONCLUSIONSWe conclude that SHIV XJDC6431 is an R5-tropic chimeric virus, which can establish infection not only in vitro but also in vivo in the Chinese rhesus macaque. Although the animal inoculated with SHIV XJDC6431 became infected without developing a pathologic phenotype, the virus efficiently replicated with a persistent level of viral load in the plasma. This suggested that the SHIV could be used as a tool to test candidate AIDS vaccines targeting the Chinese HIV-1 CRF_07BC recombinant strain.

Background:
Synaptic plasticity contributes to nociceptive signal transmission and modulation, with calcium/ calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II) playing a fundamental role in neural plasticity. This research was conducted to investigate the role of CaMK II in the transmission and regulation of nociceptive information within the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of naïve and morphine-tolerant rats.
Methods:
Randall Selitto and hot-plate tests were utilized to measure the hindpaw withdrawal latencies (HWLs) in response to noxious mechanical and thermal stimuli. To induce chronic morphine tolerance, rats received intraperitoneal morphine injection twice per day for seven days. CaMK II expression and activity were assessed using western blotting.
Results:
Intra-NAc microinjection of autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide (AIP) induced an increase in HWLs in naïve rats in response to noxious thermal and mechanical stimuli. Moreover, the expression of the phosphorylated CaMK II (p-CaMK II) was significantly decreased as determined by western blotting. Chronic intraperitoneal injection of morphine resulted in significant morphine tolerance in rats on Day 7, and an increase of p-CaMK II expression in NAc in morphine-tolerant rats was observed. Furthermore, intra-NAc administration of AIP elicited significant antinociceptive responses in morphine-tolerant rats. In addition, compared with naïve rats, AIP induced stronger thermal antinociceptive effects of the same dose in rats exhibiting morphine tolerance.
Conclusions
This study shows that CaMK II in the NAc is involved in the transmission and regulation of nociception in naïve and morphine-tolerant rats.
