Objective IFN-? is a pleiotropic cytokine with potent immunomodulatory effects and antiviral activity. To study the mechanism of IFN-? clearing duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) in ducks, it is essential to establish a method to quantify expression of DuIFN-? in immune response. In the present study,a semi-quantitative competitive RT-PCR was developed to quantify expression of duck IFN-?(DuIFN-?) mRNA by PBMCs. Methods Based on ?-actin consensus sequence, fishing the ?-actin gene as house keeping gene from duck PBMC by RT-PCR. A competitive internal control was constructed and the competitive RT-PCR system could be used to quantify the transcription of DuIFN-? mRNA. Results After duck PBMCs were stimulated in vitro with PHA, the peak of DuIFN-? expression was at 24-36h. Then RT-PCR method was applied to detect DuIFN-? mRNA transcription by PBMCs from DHBV infected ducks immunized with DuIFN-? plasmid plus DNA vaccine or DNA vaccine alone. Results showed that expression of DuIFN-? in ducks co-immunized with DuIFN-? plasmid were higher than other groups immunized without DuIFN-? plasmid as adjuvant. Conclusions The results indicated that DuIFN-? gene could be a useful adjuvant to develop vaccines. The semi-quantitation of DuIFN-? mRNA by competitive RT-PCR provides the basis for future study of the mechanism of IFN-? in duck hepatitis B virus persistent infection.

Purpose Blast lung injury is severe, and is the main causes of death in explosion. This paper aims to explore the imaging features of blast lung injury, and to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and care. Materials and Methods The clinical data of 37 patients with primary blast lung injury stricken in the 8.2 Kunshan explosion in 2014 were retrospectively studied, with regard to the degree of burn, area, auxiliary emergency treatment and medical history. The imaging manifestations of X-ray and/or CT were also analyzed. Results ① The X-ray and/or CT findings of chest showed that 6 cases (16.2%) presented no obvious abnormality of lung parenchyma, 14 cases (37.8%) manifested increase of lung markings and spot-like clouding opacity, 6 cases (16.2%) presented ground glass opacity, 7 cases (18.9%) manifested patchy shadow, 4 cases (10.8%) showed diffuse consolidation. 6 cases (16.2%) with pleural effusion, 6 cases (16.2%) complicated with pneumothorax and hydropneumothorax, 4 cases (10.8%) with enlarged podoid and pericardial effusion, 2 cases (5.4%) with mediastinal hematoma, 9 cases (24.3%) with rib fracture. The positive rate of X-ray film inspection was 72.2% (13/18), yet that of CT reached 92.9% (13/14). ② Five patients who had not been seen obvious abnormal in emergency lung examination appeared mottling shadows or flake fuzzy shadows in the examination on the second day; 9 cases with aggravated symptoms and infection signs displayed relieved signs, expanded or changed primary lesions. Conclusion Imaging examination is an important tool in the diagnosis of primary blast lung injury. CT is superior to X-ray film on the detection of lesions; therefore, CT examination on chest should be carried out as soon as possible if conditions are allowed.
