Objective To investigate the effects of CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) on cellular immune responses in suckling mice infected with human rotavirus (HRV). Methods Forty ICR suckling mice were randomly divided into four groups: control group. HRV infection group, CpG ODN pretreatment group and CpG ODN treatment group. Suckling mice were sacrificed four days after rotavirus challenge. Small intestine and spleen samples were collected under sterile condition. Thedegree of small intestinal mucosal injures was evaluated with standard scoring criteria. The spleen index was calculated and spleen lymphocyte stimulation index was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium ( MTT) assays. Levels of gamma interferon (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 ( IL-4) in the supernatant of spleen lymphocyte culture were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). T lymphocyte subsets were analyzed by flow cytometry. The data was compared by one way ANOVA. Results The scores of mucosal injures of mice in HRV infection group, CpG ODN pretreatment group and CpG ODN treatment group were 4. 00 ±1. 31, 2. 75 ±1. 28 and 2. 87 ±0. 99, respectively, and the differences among groups were statistically significant (F=ll. 32,P＜0. 01). The scores of mucosal injures in CpG ODN pretreatment group and CpG ODN treatment group were both lower than that in HRV infection group (P＜0. 05). Compared with control group, spleen lymphocyte stimulation index and the percentage of CD8+ T lymphocytes were higher, the percentage of CD4+ T lymphocyte and ratio of CD4+ /CD8+ T cells were lower, levels of T helper (Th)1 type cytokine IFN-y increased significantly in HRV infection group; while the spleen index, spleen lymphocyte stimulation index, percentages of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, IFN-y levels were all increased in CpG ODN pretreatment group and CpG ODN treatment group (P＜0. 05). The spleen index, spleen lymphocyte stimulation index, the percentage of CD4+ T lymphocytes, CD4+/CD8+ ratios and IFN-y levels in CpG ODN pretreatment group and CpG ODN treatment group were all significantly higher than HRV infection group (P＜0. 05). Conclusion CpG ODN potently enhances cellular immune responses in ICR suckling mice infected with HRV and CpG ODN could induce dominant Th1 response.

Objective To establish an animal model of human rotavirus(HRV)-induced diarrhea. Methods Sixty ICR suckling mice were randomly divided into two groups, and each was further divided into 3 subgroups(A, B, C for group Ⅰ, and D, E, F for group Ⅱ);group B, C, E and F were assigned as experimental groups. while group A and D were controls. Mice in group B and C were inoculated with3 × 10~5 PFU and 3×10~6 PFU HRV Wa strain fluid respectively when they were 4-day old. Mice in group E and F were inoculated with 3×10~5 PFU and 3×10~6 PFU HRV Wa strain fluid respectively when they were10-day old. The symptoms, fecal viral excretion, intestinal histopathologies and ultrastructures of animals were observed. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the differences among the groups. Results There were significant differences in the duration of diarrhea and viral excretion, jejunal villous height, the weight at d4 and d7 after inoculation among three subgroups in group Ⅰ(F=204.38, 86.60, 7.18, 18.41 and10.08, P<0.01). Diarrhea was not observed in group Ⅱ, and the differences in jejunal villous height and the weight at d4 and d7 after inoculation among three subgroups were not significant(F=0.16, 0.13 and 1.03, P>0.05). Compared with the group D, the duration of viral excretion was longer in group E and F(F=8. 34, P<0.01). Conclusion Animal model of HRV diarrhea can be established in 4-day-old ICR suckling mice infected with 3×10~6PFU HRV.

Objective To investigate the contents of IL-1β and IL-1ra in cerebrospinal fluid of children with Japanese encephalitis, and their clinical significance. Methods Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to detect IL-lβ and IL-lra contents in 50 children with Japanese encephalitis and 20 children without nervous system disease (controls). Results IL-1β contents in climax stage, convalescent stage and the controls were (49. 43±14. 59) , (24. 73±14. 50) and (8. 98± 1.26)μg/L (F = 79.88, P<0.01); IL-lra contents in climax stage, convalescent stage and the controls were (177. 39±60. 19), (78. 24±44. 63) and (21. 09±3. 10) μg/L (F = 91. 53, P <0. 01). There were significant differences on IL-lβ and IL-lra contents among children with mild, moderate and severe encephalitis (climax: F = 82.36 and 66.50, P<0.01; convalescence; F = 55. 17 and 79.50, P<0.01). IL-1β content was positively correlated with IL-lra in both climax and convalescent stages (climax; r = 0. 815, P < 0.01; convalescent; r= 0.728, P < 0.01). Conclusions IL-lβ and IL-lra contents in cerebrospinal fluid are significantly increased in children with Japanese encephalitis in climax stage, which are closely correlated with the disease severity. The two indicators may participate in the pathological process of brain damages with Japaness encephalitis.

Objective:To investigate the acceptance and attitude toward a novel fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in colorectal cancer screening among populations in China.Methods:From May 2018 to May 2019, 2 474 people aged 50-74 years were recruited from five provinces of China (Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan and Yunnan). The general demographic characteristics, acceptance of the new FIT technology and operational difficulties through the whole screening process were obtained through questionnaire survey. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors related to difficulties encountered in sampling stool, reading and uploading results.Results:The subjects were (60.0±6.4) years old, and female, high school of above educated, unemployed/retired/other, married and with medical insurance status of “new rural cooperative medical care (NRCMC)” accounted for 61.7% (1 526), 29.0%(718), 34.3% (849), 92.7% (2 293) and 31.3%(775), respectively. The population's acceptance of the FIT technology was 94.8%. In the process of FIT screening, the percentage of occurred difficulties in sampling stool, reading and uploading results were 33.1% (819), 46.4% (1 147) and 62.9% (1 557), respectively. The main difficulties were the uncertainty about whether the sampling operation was standard (28.0%), the inability to accurately judge the result displayed (32.5%) and the need for help without using a smartphone (44.2%). The results of multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that people aged 65-74 years old and with medical insurance status of “NRCMC” were more likely to encounter difficulties in sampling, and those who were unemployed/retired/other and living with 3 or more family members were less likely to encounter difficulties in sampling. Those aged 65-74 years old, farmers or migrant workers, and those with “NRCMC” were more likely to encounter difficulties in readingresults, and those with 3 or more family members were less likely to encounter difficulties in reading result. Those with “NRCMC” were more likely to encounter difficulties in uploading results, and those with education level of high school or above, living with more than 3 family members were less likely to encounter difficulties in uploading results.Conclusion:The acceptance of the new FIT technology is relatively high among the subjects. Age, education level, occupation, number of family members living together and medical insurance status might be related to difficulties encountered in sampling stool, reading and uploading results, and it can be further strengthened in terms of the technology and characteristics of sub-populations.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the EBV-induced liver injury and caspase-3/6 in children. Methods: Data of 249 patients seen from July 2016 to June 2017 who got infection with EBV were collected in second affiliated hospital of Wenzhou Medical University and the patients were divided into two groups; 168 patients who were diagnosed with hepatitis were selected for abnormal liver function group, laboratory tests were performed in acute phase and convalescent phase. Meanwhile the 81 patients, whose liver function were normal were selected for normal liver function group. Two ml of blood plasma was collected from each patient from both groups at the beginning and after a week’s treatment of the abnormal liver function group. The patients were aged from 1 to 14 years. The abnormal liver function group was further divided into four groups: young children (1-3 years old), preschool children (4-6 years old), school children (7-10 years old), teenagers (10-14 years old). Firstly, we recorded their alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and direct bilirubin (DBIL), then by the use of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) we measured the protein level of caspase-3 and caspase-6. Results: In the group of abnormal liver function group, in the acute phase of the teenagers the level of ALT, caspase-3 and caspase-6 are improved significantly(927.2±82.5 vs. 158.5±41.4, P<0.001, 169.8±52.8 vs. 91.5±10.1, P<0.001, P<0.05, 82.2± 2.6, P<0.001, 965.8±31.5, P<0.001, 184.8±14.3, P<0.001), while the AST, TBLL, GGT and DBLL had no significant difference. Conclusions In the process of EBV-induced liver injury, there was a linear correlation between the increase of caspase-3/6 and ALT in the acute stage, suggesting that EBV-induced liver injury is closely related to caspase-3/6.
