The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a widespread herpesvirus. Virus reactivation from latency can lead to stillbirth, miscarriage, fetal anomalies, and intrauterine growth retardation. During latent infection with the HCMV, the virus can be cleared by the immune response or apoptosis of host cells. However, the HCMV has developed several strategies to manipulate expression of its genes and the microenvironment of host cells. Recent studies have shown that latent infection with the HCMV is associated with viral: regulation of early expression of genes; evasion of cell death; evasion of the immune response; regulatin of non-coding RNAs. This review summarizes recent research progress on the mechanisms underpinning latent infection with the HCMV.

Objective To evaluate the guiding role of capsule endoscopy (CE) in choosing the access route of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) for small bowel diseases. Methods Patients with complete CE and with small bowel diseases confirmed by DBE were enrolled. The lesion location found on CE was represented by the time index, which was the ratio of access time from pylorus to lesion over access time from pylorus to ileocecal valve. Based on our previous retrospective evaluation, oral approach was selected when the index was ≤0. 6, otherwise the anal access would be chosen. Accuracy of time index predicting DBE access rout was evaluated. Results Data of 60 patients undergoing both CE and DBE were evaluated. All lesions detected by CE were confirmed by DBE, with 41 via oral route and 19 via anus. Based on the time index with threshold of 0.6, the accuracy of selecting the insertion route of DBE was 100%. Conclusion DBE is an effective approach to confirm CE results. In patients with complete small bowel investigation by CE, the insertion route for DBE can be reliably indicated with time index based on the CE results.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of morphology of superficial depression in estimation of histology and invasive depth in colorectal neoplasia by using magnifying chromo-endoscopy.Methods Flat or depressed and sessile eolorectal lesions which were indicated for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) were consecutively collected. Depressed lesions were classified into type 1 (star-like) and type 2 (round) according to the morphology of depressive areas in the colorectal neoplasia with magnifying ehromoendoscopy. The relationship between morphologic classification with histology and invasive depth was studied with reference to pathological diagnosis after EMR. Results Ninety lesions including 25 sessile and 65 flat were resected with EMR. Lesions with central depression (54. 4%,49/90) were more likely to have high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or cancer than those without ( 51.0% vs. 17. 1%,P<0. 001 ). Depressive lesions of type 2 were more susceptible to have HGD or cancer than those of type 1 (89. 5% vs. 26. 7%,P<0. 001 ). The overall accuracy of depression morphology for distinction between lesions of superficial submueosal (m-sm1) and deep submucosal (sm2-sm3) invasion was 83. 7% (41/49). Conclusion The morphology of superficial depression on colorectal neoplasia is highly correlated with the histology and invasive depth,which facilitates the EMR treatment.

Objective To investigate the electrophysiological properties of neurons in visual cortex of binocular form-deprivated rats during the developmental stages and to explore the synaptic and cellular mechanisms of plasticity in the visual cortex. Methods Whole cell patch clamp technique was applied to the visual cortex slices prepared from 61 Wistar rats of both genders, which were divided into two groups; control group and binocular form-deprivation (BFD) group. Excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) and long term potentiation (LTP) of the neurons were recorded. Results (1) The percentage of silent response in BFD group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Butylphthalide and sodium chloride injection on neurological function and prognosis of elderly patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH)after trepanation and drainage surgery. METH-ODS:During Jan. 2015 to Jun. 2016,80 elderly HICH patients were selected from our hospital and then divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 40 cases in each group. Both group received trepanation and drain-age surgery. Control group was given routine treatment. Observation group was given Butylphthalide and sodium chloride injection 100 mL,ivgtt,bid,on the fifth day after surgery,on the basis of control group. Both groups received treatment for 14 d. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed. CSS scores were compared between 2 groups before surgery and 28 d after operation;volume of encephaledema,serum levels of homocysteine(HCY)and substance P(SP)were compared between 2 groups before surgery and 14 d after operation. RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group was 87.5%,which was significantly higher than 67.5% of control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Before surgery, there was no statistical significance in CSS scores,volume of encephaledema or serum levels of HCY and SP between 2 groups(P>0.05). CSS scores 28 d after operation, SP levels 14 d after operation were significanthy increased,volume of encephaledema and serum levels of HCY in 2 groups were significantly decreased,and the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Butylphthalide and sodium chloride injection can significantly improve clinical efficacy and hepatic func-tion damage,relieve postoperative encephaledema,reduce serum levels of HCY and increase SP levels in elderly HICH patients af-ter trepanation and drainage surgery.

To investigate the relationship between Snail and renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) or tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF) at tissue and cellular levels and to observe the changes of miRNA profile after transfecting Snail gene into human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2),to further elucidate the importance of miRNA in the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis.Methods The expression of Snail and EMT-related proteins vimentin,SMA,E-cadherin was detected by immunohistochemistry in renal tissues of 40 patients with IgA nephropathy.The expression of Snail,E-cadherin and SMA in normal control group,empty transfection group and Snail gene transfection group was detected by Western blot and RT-PCR.Furthermore,differentially expressed miRNAs were screened by gene chip.Results By immunohistochemistry,Snail expression was positively correlated with vimentin and SMA,negatively correlated with E-cadherin in IgA nephropathy.The higher degree of the TIF,the stronger the expression of Snail.Compared with the control group,the expression of Snail,vimentin and SMA in the snail transfected group increased.However,E-cadherin decreased at gene and protein level by the RT-PCR and Western blot (P < 0.05).The difference was statistically significant.Five distinctly different miRNAs were screened by gene chip after Snail gene was transfected into HK-2 cells,and then 5 026 potential target genes were predicted.Conclusion Snail expression is closely related with renal tubular epithelial mesenchymal transition and tubulointerstitial fibrosis,and it may be used as a new target in EMT prevention.Differentially expressed miRNAs may be involved in the development of EMT and TIF.
