Objective To study the role of serine protease encoding gene prtP carried by Lactoba-cillus paracasei (Lp) in regulating mouse intestinal immunity. Methods Female BALB/c mice were ran-domly divided into seven groups and respectively administered with PBS, medium (5×108CFU/ml) and high dose (1×109CFU/ml) of Lp, Lp△prtP and ReLp△prtP for 21 consecutive days by intragastric ga-vage. Parameters including immune organ index, splenic lymphocyte transformation rate, energy metabolism in celiac macrophages, phagocytic ability of celiac macrophages and cytokines were detected. Quantitative changes in CD11c+CD80+cells in culture supernatants of splenic mononuclear cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results Compared with Lp△prtP, Lp could significantly promote the natural transformation of splenic lymphocytes, increase the level of energy metabolism in celiac macrophages, enhance the phagocytic ability of celiac macrophages, and up-regulate the expression of IFN-α, IL-10 and IFN-γ and the percentage of CD11c+CD80+cells. Conclusion Serine protease encoding gene prtP in Lp can regulate the mucosal im-mune system in mice.

OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate curative effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients by the transfusion of other convalescent plasma.
METHODS:
Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 18 patients with severe and critical COVID-19, who were hospitalized in the ICU of Xianghu Branch of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from February 1 to March 15, 2020. Patients were subdivided into an experimental group (=6, who had transfused the plasma) and an observation group (=12, who had no plasma transfusion). Basic clinical data and prognosis indexes of these two groups were compared. Moreover, for the experimental group, the dynamic changes of blood oxygen saturation before and after the transfusion, the changes of lymphocyte absolute value 48 hours after the transfusion, and the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleic acid were analyzed.
RESULTS:
There were no significant differences in age, gender, blood type and other basic clinical data between the two groups (all >0.05).There were no significant differences in ventilator machine weaning time, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) weaning time, body temperature recovery to normal time, and hospitalization days between these two groups (all >0.05). For the experimental group, before, during and after the convalescent plasma transfusion, the blood oxygen saturation of all 6 patients at all time (1, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h) was more than 90%, and there was no significant fluctuation. There were 3 patients whose absolute value of lymphocyte was increased 48 hours after the transfusion, and the remaining was decreased. There were 5 patients whose SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid detection turned negative 48 hours after the transfusion, accounting for 83.3%.
CONCLUSIONS
Transfusion of convalescent plasma will not affect outcomesof COVID-19 patients, which can neutralize SARS-CoV-2 in patients and reduce the loading capacity of SARS-CoV-2.
