Hepatitis B virus infection is the major cause of chronic hepatitis B(CHB),liver cirrhosis(LC),and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Over 47 000 people die of LC and HCC caused by HBV infection in the world each year.This article introduces the related variations of hepatitis B virus and the correlation with clinical treatment and prognosis.

The shortage of healthy blood resource and the problem of virus infection have urged the study of blood substitute. The technologies of modified hemoglobin, perfluorocarbons and Hb-vesicles have been developing quickly, and some of which have already been formed into large-scale preparation and production. However, there is no completed evaluation system for the blood substitute at present, and it is still hard to estimate the function of blood substitute completely. This article takes the evaluation of the blood substitute as a key point, discusses the evaluation parameters of blood substitute, and presents the physical and chemical property, the availability and safety as well as the preservation condition of the blood substitute. The data concerned are based on the studies in China and abroad and referred to the latest progress all over the world.

Objective To elucidate the molecular basis for induced resistance of N. gonorrhoeae to ceftriaxone in vitro. Methods The reference strain ATCC49226 and clinical isolate ZSSY00205 of N. gon-orrhoeae were exposed to subinhibitory concentration of ceftriaxone for the induction of resistance. Then,suppression subtractive hybridization was performed with the pre-induction parent strains as drivers and post-induction mutant strains as testers to create a subtractive cDNA library. Following that, a total of 192 clones were randomly selected from the library, and arrayed by spotting onto nylon membranes. Finally, dif-ferentially expressed genes were screened by hybridization with labeled-RsaI restriction fragments from the sensitive and resistant N.gonorrhoeae strains respectively, and analyzed by sequencing and homology research using Blast program. Results A subtractive library for these resistant N.gonorrhoeae strains was generated by SSH technique. Microarray analysis and homology research confirmed 5 genes related to ceftriaxone resistance, i.e. mtrR, mtrC, gyrB, rpsJ and PJD1. Conclusions The induced resistance of N. gonorrhoeae to ceftriaxone may be associated with mtrR, mtrC, gyrB, rpsJ and PJD1 genes which probably mediate the resistance by enhancing the activity of efflux pump system.

Objective To investigate whether increasing the concentration of serum potassium facilitates the cardioversion to sinus rhythm during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in a rat ventricular fibrillation (VF) model. Methods Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with sustained VF by electrical induction were randomized into two groups by random number table. Five minutes after onset of electrical induction, 2.5% potassium chloride solution at a dose of 0.8 mL/kg (KCl group, n = 9) or equivalent normal saline (NS group, n = 9) was given respectively via femoral vein followed by traditional CPR. The changes of electrocardiogram (ECG) and the effect of defibrillation were compared between the two groups. Results During the CPR, the number of animals with spontaneous cardioversion (2 vs. 1, P = 1.000) and successful defibrillation (7 vs. 3, P = 0.026) were both increasing in KCl group compare with those in the NS group, which required fewer defibrillation (1.60±0.79 vs. 2.70±0.58, P = 0.064), lower calculative defibrillation energy (J: 4.00±3.00 vs. 8.30±2.89, P = 0.068), more animals restore spontaneous circulation (ROSC, 9 vs. 4, P = 0.029) and shorter ROSC time (s: 265.10±134.58 vs. 421.30±162.06, P = 0.096). At the beginning of CPR, animals in two groups all presented the fine amplitude (amplitude < 0.5 mV). At CPR 3 minutes the KCl group presented significantly larger amplitude compared with NS group (mV: 0.92±0.16 vs. 0.67±0.23, P = 0.030); The amplitude decreased in the animals which did not attain cardioversion to sinus rhythm over time. The animal number of fine amplitude at CPR 7 minutes were 0 and 5, respectively, in the KCl group and the NS group. Conclusion Increasing serum potassium concentration facilitates the VF amplitude enlargement, promotes the spontaneous conversion, increases the successful rate of defibrillation and reduces the energy for defibrillation in a rat VF model.

Objective To investigate the differences in the gene expression profiles between SW480 and SW620 cell lines.Methods A dataset of GDS756 containing the gene expression profiles of SW480 and SW620 was downloaded from the GEO database in NCBI.The differential expression genes between SW480 and SW620 were analyzed with gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and leading edge subset analysis.The genes in leading edge subset were re-annotated by FunRich software.The core genes of leading edge subset closely relating to SW480 or SW620 were analyzed with the STRING on-line analytical system.The functional core genes closely relating to SW480 or SW620 were obtained by the combined analysis of the core genes and high frequency genes from leading edge subset.Results GSEA identified 12 significantly enriched gene sets,491 leading edge genes and 7 highly overlapping genes from SW480 and 80 significantly enriched gene sets,870 leading edge genes and 6 highly overlapping genes from SW620.The STRING system identified 5 core genes from SW480 and 8 from SW620.The combined analysis of GSEA and bionetwork obtained 2 functional core genes,TOP2A and CDK1,from SW620.Conclusion The SW480 and SW620 cells with identical genetic background have different functional gene expression profiles,and the functional core genes TOP2A and CDK1 in SW620 cells may be related to the signal pathways of colon cancer metastasis.

Objective To study the effect of potassium chloride (KCl) before CPR on successful resuscitation of rats with ventricular fibrillation (VF).Methods Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with VF induced by alternating electricity current were randomly (ramdam runmber) divided into KCl group and normal saline (NS) group.Rats of two groups were prepared with 0.8 mL/kg of 2.5％ KCl in KCI group and equivalent volume of NS in NS group instead before CPR.The resuscitation was considered to be failure if ROSC was absent for 10 min.The comparisons of time required for ROSC,the average attempt of defibrillation,the average joule used for defibrillation,ROSC rate and 72 h survival rate were carried out between the two groups.Results The length of time required for ROSC in the KCl group (n =10) was shorter than that in NS group (n=10) [(283.89±152.44) svs.(404.38±164.27) s] (t=1.369,P =0.196).The average attempt of defibrillation in KCl group were fewer compared to the NS group [(1.50 ± 0.75) times vs.(2.66 ± 0.57) times,(t =2.701,P =0.022)],the average joule used for defibrillation in KCl group were less compared to NS group [(3.75 ± 2.86) J vs.(8.33 ± 2.88) J,(t =2.78,P =0.019)].The ROSC rate in the KCl group was higher than that in NS group (P =0.011).The 72 h survival rate in KCl group was higher than that in NS group (P =0.001).Conclusions Increasing plasma potassium level before CPR could increase the ROSC rate and survival rate in rats with VF.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) and new-onset embolic cerebral infarction after basilar artery angioplasty or stenting.Methods:Consecutive patients with severe basilar atherosclerotic stenosis underwent basilar artery angioplasty or stenting in the Department of Neurology, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from January 2015 to February 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. High resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (HRMR-VWI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) were performed within one week before procedure, and brain DWI or CT examination was performed within 72 h after procedure to determine the patients with new-onset embolic cerebral infarction.Results:A total of 32 patients were enrolled in the analyze. IPH existed in 10 patients with basilar artery culprit plaque, and 5 had new-onset embolic cerebral infarction after procedure. The incidence of embolic cerebral infarction in the IPH group was significantly higher than that in the non-IPH group (50% vs. 0%; P=0.001). The proportion of patients with IPH in the embolic cerebral infarction group was significantly higher than that in the non-embolic cerebral infarction group (100% vs. 18.5%; P=0.001). Conclusion:IPH may be associated with new-onset embolic cerebral infarction after basilar artery angioplasty or stenting.
