The challenge of the emergence of drug-resistant influenza strains, which is caused by wide spread utilization of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), accelerates the research and exploration towards host targeted agents. In contrast to DAAs targeting viral replication components, host targeted agents, which regulate host factors and pathways linked to viral replication, can interfere the replication of influenza. Additionally, the innate immune system is activated by influenza during the early stage of infection, so manipulating the innate immune response may prevent the viral infection. However, the excessive inflammatory response induced at the late phase of influenza infection would lead to severe tissue injures. Thus, it is very important to explore drugs with anti-inflammatory actions to suppress these immune imbalances and tissue injures. Here we overview the current progresses about host targets related to anti-influenza drugs.

Objective To evaluate changes of RV volume and function in patients with ASD after transcatheter closure of ASD by three-dimensional echocardiography. Methods In 58 patients with ASD (24 men, 34 women; mean age 28.9?17.1, range 4 to 67 years), 23 patients (11 men, 12 women; mean age 25.7?13.3, range 6 to 57 years) were diagnosed as secundum ASD [the stretched diameters of ASD were from 9 to 36 (25.1?7.5) mm], and had successfully received Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO, the sizes of ASO ranged from 11 to 40 mm ). 32 healthy people (18 men, 14 women; mean age 24.8?12.0, range 4 to 45) were matched interms of age and sex as the control group. Three-dimensional images were acquired by HP-SONOS 5500 cardiac scanner (Hewlett-Packard Company, Andover, Mass) and were reconstructed by Tom-Tec EchoView 4.2 (TomTec Imaging Systems, GmbH) to calculate right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDV), right ventricular end-systolic volume (RVESV) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF). RVEDV, RVESV and RVEF were measured at 3 days, 1 and 3 months after the procedure. Results The RVEDV and RVESV [(101.74?25.17) mL vs (59.65?15.00) mL, P

Objective To study the etiology,clinical features,treatment of geriatric depression.Methods A total 78 patients aged over 60 years who had their first depression attack were studied.All the clinical data which included the etiology,family history,clinical features and treatments were obtained from our hospital.Results These patients had anxiety,physical complaints,cognitive disorder as well as gloom,thinking paucity,loss of interest and low self-esteem.Socio-psychological factors and somatic diseases had significant effect on it;few patients had positive family history.Conclusion Geriatric depression has not only the clinical featrues of CCMD-3 but also the clinical features of anxiety,hypocondrtasis,physical complaints and cognitive disorder.

Objective To investigate the cause of non-union and delayed union of femoral and tibia] fractures and assess the clinical outcome after treatment with intramedullary compression interlocking nail (ICIN). Methods From February 1998 to December 2006, 21 patients with non-union and delayed union of femoral and tibial fractures (13 patients with femoral fractures and 8 with tibial fractures) were treated by ICIN. Bone grafting was performed in 18 patients, and the other three patients only rocoived reamed compression nailing. Five patients received bone grafting combined with knee adhesion release operation. Results All patients were followed up for 11.4-36 months (mean 13.6 months). Solid bone union was observed in all patients, with mean bone union time of 8.7 months and without malunion, infection or refracture. According to the Klemm grading, the clinical outcome was graded excellent in 19 patients and good in 2. Conclusions The main causes for non-union and delayed union of femoral and tibial fractures are improper indication selection and incorrect use of implants, which may result in bieenvironment disruption. ICIN shortens the time of functional recovery of knee and ankle joint. ICIN has advantages of stable fixation, early exercise of the knee and ankle as well as early weight loading and hence is one of effective alternatives in treatment of non-union and delayed union of femoral and tibial fractures. ICIN can accelerate the healing of bone and improves the function of knee joint when combined with bone grafting, reamed compression nailing and knee adhesion release.

Objective To observe the curative effects of malignant brain swelling after brain injury by using the operations of standard large Craniotomy decompression and removal of necrotic brain tissues. Methods 80 cases of malignant brain swelling after severe brain injury were observed. The standard decompression surgery of large era-niotomy routine were used in 40 cases,while the operations of standard large craniotomy decompression and removal of necrotic brain tissues were used in the other 40 cases. The curative effects of the results after 15 days and six mon-ths were analyzed. Results The incidence of intracranial hypertension (37.5%, 15/40 ) and brain tissue incisional hernia (32.5% ,13/40)of the group using standard large craniotomy decompression and removal of nee-rotic brain tissues treatment was significantly lower than that of simple standard large craniotomy decompression treat-ment group [15.0% (6/40) vs 10.0% (4/40)] after 15 days (P<0.05 ). The prognosis excellent rate ( good + re-sidual) of the group using standard large Craniotomy decompression and removal of necrotic brain tissues treatment was significantly higher (60.0%) than that of simple standard large craniotomy decompression treatment group (40.0%) after six months (P<0.05 ). Conclusion The operations of standard large craniotomy decompression and removal of necrotic brain tissues can effectively reduce the intracranial hypertension of malignant brain swelling after trauma injury,and reduce mortality and morbidity of severe brain injury.

With a size of several microns to several hundred microns, it can be used for injection, oral, arterial administration and local treatment of targeted organs and other treatment approaches. OBJECTIVE: To prepare rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids/polylactic-co-glycolic acid microcapsules and optimize the preparation conditions. METHODS: The rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids/polylactic-co-glycolic acid microcapsules was prepared by ultrasonic emulsification. The effect of the mass concentration (60, 100, 140, 180 g/L), stirring speed (50, 1 000, 2 000, 4 000 r/minutes), colostrum emulsification time (2, 4, 6, 8 minutes), colostrum water oil ratio (1:5, 1:10, 1:15, 1:20) of rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids/polylactic-co-glycolic acid microcapsules on gross morphology, particle size distribution width and total flavonoids encapsulation efficiency of microcapsules was univariately analyzed. The rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids/polylactic-co-glycolic acid microcapsules with smaler particle size, uniform dispersion and higher encapsulation efficiency was filtered out. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The optimum process parameters were as folows: 140 g/L polylactic acid-glycolic acid solution, the stirring speed of 2 000 r/min, the colostrum emulsification time of 6 minutes, and the colostrum water-oil ratio of 1:15. The microcapsules prepared in the optimized process displayed a uniform distribution and its average particle size was (789.8±712.3) nm, which distributed relative narrowly and basicaly less than 5 μm. Microcapsules presented round, with a regular edge under scanning electron microscope. The average encapsulation efficiency was 47.72%.

Objective Evaluate the influence of medical monochrome liquid crystal display (LCD) with different resolutions on the detection of pulmonary nodules.Methods Ninety-three direct digital radiography (DR) chest images were selected on-line from picture archiving and communication system (PACS),including 38 positive,32 suspected and 23 normal cases.All of the images were confirmed by CT.These positive images were divided into group A and B according to the diameter of nodules.Three experienced radiologists blindly read the 93 images using three types of displays with different resolutions.Regarding the presence of nodule,five-point confidence system was used:definitely absent,probably absent,indefinite,probably present and definitely present.All observers marked their confidence levels of each image according to the presence of pulmonary nodule on different displays.Software SPSS 13.0 was employed for statistical analysis.Results In the group-A cases,the areas under ROC curves were 0.643,0.686 and 0.739,and in the group-B cases,those were 0.813,0.832 and 0.846 respectively.There was no difference in the detection efficacy among different radiodiagnostic systems.Conclusion Regardless of post-processing tools,it was equivalent to detect pulmonary nodules with different diameters of Group A or B among medical monochrome LCDs with different resolutions.

BACKGROUND:Due to different pathogenesis of degenerative and isthmic lumbar spondylolisthesis, the differences in sagittal spino-pelvic morphology and life quality between them are stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the differences in sagittal spino-pelvic morphology and life quality between degenerative and adult isthmic lumbar spondylolisis patients.
METHODS:From May 2012 to February 2015, 169 lumbar spondylolisthesis patients with complete imaging data were included in the study. Degenerative group contained 83 patients, and isthmic group contained 86 patients. The folowing radiographical parameters were measured on standard standing lateral radiographs of the entire spine, including thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, sagittal vertical axis, pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt and sacral slope. Meanwhile, slippage angle, slippage percentage and slippage distance ofal patients were also measured. SF-36 scale was employed to evaluate life quality, which was compared between groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Lumbar lordosis, thoracic kyphosis and slippage angle were significantly lower in the degenerative group than those in the isthmic group (P< 0.05-0.01). The sagittal vertical axis in degenerative group was higher than that in isthmic group (P< 0.01). (2) With respect to the domains of SF-36 scale, degenerative group had lower physical functioning score and social functioning score compared with the isthmic group (P< 0.01). (3) Pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, sacral slope, slippage percentage and slippage distance showed no significant difference between two groups (P> 0.05). (4) Results suggested that pelvicmorphology between the degenerative and isthmic lumbar spondylolisthesis was similar. Compared with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis, isthmic spondylolisthesis patients have higher thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis and slippage angle. In addition, notable limitations of physical functioning and social functioning were found in degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis patients.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of total organic acid of Thladiantha dubia fruit(TOATF)on coagulation time and hemorheology of rats with cold coagulation and blood stasis. METHODS:60 rats were randomly divided in normal control group (water),model control group (water),aspirin group (positive drug,50 mg/kg) and TOATF low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups(50,100,200 mg/kg)with 10 rats in each group. Except for normal control group,cold coagulation and blood stasis model was induced by 4 ℃ water bath and subcutaneous injection of adrenaline hydrochloride,and then given correspon-dence medicine intragastrically,once a day,for consecutive 14 d. 24 h after last administration,blood samples were collected from aorta abdominalis. The coagulating time(CT),erythrocrit(HCT),plasma viscosity(PV),prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time (TT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),platelet aggregation rate (PAR) and whole blood low-shear,middle-shear and high-shear viscosity were measured and blood sedimentation equation K value was calculated. RESULTS:Compared with nor-mal control group,CT,PT,TT and APTT of model control group were shortened,and HCT,PV,blood sedimentation equation K value,PAR and whole blood low-shear,middle-shear and high-shear viscosity increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model control group,CT,PT and APTT prolonged in aspirin group and TOATF medium-dose and high-dose groups,and PAR de-creased;PT of treatment groups prolonged,while HCT,PV,blood sedimentation equation K value and whole blood low-shear and middle-shear viscosity decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:TOATF has obvious improvement effects on anticoagula-tion and hemorheology in rats with cold coagulation and blood stasis.
