[Objective]This study was designed to investigate the genetic evolution of the neuraminidase(NA)gene of seasonal A/H1N1 and 2009 novel A/H1N1 inflilenza virus,and discuss the genetic variation of influenza A virus.[Methods]The virus strains were separately isolated from the clinical samples collected in 2006 and 2009,and then identified as seasonal A/H1N1 and novel A/H1N1.The full length of the NA gene of these strains was amplified by RT-PCR.Then the genetic evolution and mutations of important functional sites were analyzed.[Results]The homology of NA gene between the 2009 novel A/H1N1 isolates and 2006 seasonal A/H1N1 isolates was low(77.9%~78.8%),so was the homology of NA gene between the 2009 novel A/H1N1 isolates and representative strains of different periods and 1979-2001 WHO recommended vaccine strains(78.1%~79.3%).But compared with the WHO recommended vaccine strains of 2009 novel A/H1N1,the homology reached more than 99%.The genetic evolution analysis revealed that NA gene of 2009 novel A/H1N1 had the closest genetic relationship with the swine influenza A virus(A/swine/Belgium/1/1983)from Eurasian Iineage,and some of the antigenic sites and neuraminidase active sites of NA gene of seasonal A/H1N1 were mutated after 2005.[Conclusion]The NA gene of 2009 novel A/H1N1 may originate from Eurasian Iineage of swine influenza virus.The variation of NA gene of seasonal A/H1N1 has occurred in a certain degree.Hence,it is very necessary to continuously monitor the variant of influenza A virus.

Objective To evaluate the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on the expression of hypothalamic nerve growth factor precursor (proNGF) and the influence of hypothalamic proNGF on the sympathetic output of paraventrucular nucleus. Methods Forty-two male SD rats, aged 3-4 months, weighing 350-500 g, were divided into control group, CPB group and ischemia reperfusion (IR) group. At the end of CPB for 110 min, hypothalamus and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) were taken to measure the levels of proNGF mRNA and hypothalamic proNGF protein. Mini pipe was put into bilateral paraventrucular nucleus (PVN) and human recombination proNGF protein was injected into PVN for 7 d before the local field potentials (LFP) of RVLM was recoreded. Human recombination proNGF protein was administrated into lateral ventricle, the prior-administration-LFP of PVN and post-administration-LFP were recorded and compared. At the end of the experiment, hypothalamus was taken to measure the levels of glutamate and gammer amino butyric acid (GABA). Results Hypothalamic proNGF protein in CPB group and IR group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05); NGF mRNA of hypothalamus and DRG in CPB and IR group were higher than those of control group (P < 0.05). In PVN and RVLM, after the administration of proNGF protein, the power of delta band significantly decreased and other bands increased (P < 0.05). The hypothalamic GABA level decreased (P < 0.05) with no change of hypothalamic glutamate after proNGF was injected into lateral ventricle. Conclusion CPB increases the expression of proNGF in the hypothalamus contributing to the changes of hypothalamic sympathetic output.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of acute cardiac injury on the activation of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) signaling in the spinal cord.
METHODS:
Acute cardiac injury rat model was established by intra-myocardial injection of formalin through diaphragm. IL-1 beta expression was determined by Western blot, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. The DNA binding activities of 2 IL-1 beta transcription factors, activator protein (AP)-1 and nuclear factor kB (NF-kappaB) were measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA).
RESULTS:
After cardiac injury, the IL-1 beta protein level was dramatically upregulated in the spinal cord. The upregulated IL-1 beta was mainly expressed in the neurons in the lamina II approximately IV of the spinal cord. In response to cardiac injury, the DNA binding activities of NF-kappaB and AP-1 were greatly activated.
CONCLUSION
Acute cardiac injury could activate the spinal IL-1 beta signaling, which, in turn, may be involved in the progression of heart failure after injury.

Objective:To construct an early rehabilitation program suitable for patients with cervical spondylosis after minimally invasive cervical laminoplasty and explore its clinical effect, in order to promote postoperative spinal cord function recovery and reduce complications.Methods:The early rehabilitation program after minimally invasive cervical laminoplasty was constructed by literature search, research group discussion and two rounds of Delphi expert correspondence. The convenient sampling was used to select 136 patients who underwent minimally invasive cervical laminoplasty by the posterior cervical approach who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2018 to May 2020. They were divided into control group and observation group by the random number table method, with 68 cases in each group. The control group underwent rehabilitation according to the conventional rehabilitation methods after cervical spine surgery, while the observation group was given the early rehabilitation program intervention after minimally invasive cervical laminoplasty. They were followed up 12 months after surgery. The differences in Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores (JOA) score, Neck Disability Index (NDI) score and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for axial pain were compared between the two groups before intervention and 12 months after surgery.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the JOA, NDI and VAS scores between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05) . After 12 months of follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference in the cervical spine JOA score between the two groups ( t=1.655, P=0.101) . The NDI score of the observation group [ (17.68±5.73) ] was lower than that of the control group [ (27.39±11.01) ] , and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-5.846, P<0.01) . The VAS score of the observation group [ (1.59±0.86) ] was lower than that of the control group [ (2.31±1.12) ] , and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.801, P<0.01) . Conclusions:The early rehabilitation program after minimally invasive cervical laminoplasty constructed in this study is scientific and reliable, which is helpful to improve the cervical spine function and daily activities of patients with cervical spondylosis after surgery and reduce the occurrence of axial pain.
