Objective:To study the effect of splenic lymphocytes isolated from mouse models of colorectal carcinoma with liver metastases induced by oncolytic herpes simplex virus type Ⅱ(oHSV2) on the growth of pulmonary metastases of colorectal carcinoma.Methods:A total of 18 6-week-old BALB/c female mice were selected, colorectal carcinoma cell line CT26 of mice in logarithmic phase was inoculated at the right back (2×10 5 per mouse) and spleen (1×10 5 per mouse) of mice, and tumor cells had hematogenous metastasis to liver through splenic vein. CT26 colorectal carcinoma with liver metastases model was constructed. All mice were respectively divided into oHSV2 group and phosphatic buffered saline (PBS) group, 9 mice in each group according to the random number table method. Mice in oHSV2 group were treated with subcutaneous intratumoral multi-point injection of 100 μl oHSV2 (the multiplicity of infection was 1) for 6 cycles, while mice in PBS group were treated with subcutaneous intratumoral multi-point injection of 100 μl PBS for 6 cycles in total, once injection every other day; the survival of mice was analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier method and tumor growth was observed. The mice of both groups in mouse models of colorectal carcinoma with liver metastases were killed on day 20 and their splenic lymphocytes were isolated. After investigation of the most suitable inoculation number and the optimal observation time of colorectal carcinoma with pulmonary metastases CT26 cell lines, 9 6-week-old BALB/c female mice were divided into the experimental group, the negative control group and the blank control group according to the random number table method, with 3 mice in each group. Mice in the experimental group were injected with splenic lymphocytes (4×10 7 per mouse) and CT26 cells (2×10 5 per mouse) isolated from mouse models induced by oHSV2 via the tail vein, mice in the negative control group were injected with splenic lymphocytes (4×10 7 per mouse) and CT26 cells (2×10 5 per mouse) isolated from normal mice with same weeks old via the tail vein, and mice in the blank control group were injected with only CT26 cells (2×10 5 per mouse) via the tail vein. The above 3 groups were executed on day 10 after inoculation, and tumor growth, histopathological changes of mice were also observed; the survival of mice was analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier method. Results:In models of colorectal carcinoma with liver metastases, liver metastases lesions were not detected in 7 mice and 2 mice had 1-2 liver metastases lesions with long diameter less than 2 mm of oHSV2 group; in PBS group, 9 mice all had multiple liver metastases lesions with tumor long diameter ranging from 1 to 10 mm. And mice in oHSV2 group survived much longer than that of mice in PBS group ( P < 0.001). In models of pulmonary metastases, the optimal number of CT26 cells in mouse tail vein was 2×10 5 per mouse; the best observation time point was day 10 after tail vein injection. On day 24 after inoculation, all mice in the negative control group and the blank control group died, while mice in the experimental group all survived on day 60, and the difference of the overall survival in the above 3 groups was statistically significant ( P = 0.007). HE staining results showed that the lung tissues of the experimental group did not show clear tumor cells, whereas the lung tissues of the negative control group and the blank control group showed extensive diffuse tumor cells. Conclusions:Splenic lymphocytes produced by oHSV2 induction in mouse models of colorectal carcinoma with liver metastases can effectively inhibit the development of pulmonary metastases in colorectal carcinoma CT26 cell of mice.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of pretreatment drug resistance and the genetic polymorphism of CRF08_BC strains among HIV-1 patients in China.Methods:This cross-sectional survey involved the plasma samples of HIV patients in a national pretreatment HIV drug resistance survey conducted in 2018. RNA was extracted from the samples. The fragments containing protease and partial reverse transcriptase (PR/RT) regions were obtained and sequenced. Drug resistance was analyzed using Stanford HIVdb Program. Differences in polymorphic mutations between drug-resistant and non-drug-resistant HIV-1 strains were analyzed by Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test. The association between drug-resistant and polymorphic mutations was evaluated using CorMut R package. Molecular transmission networks were constructed using HIV-TRACE software. Results:Totally 465 partial pol sequences were obtained from individuals with CRF08_BC infection in 25 provinces and cities. The total pretreatment drug resistance rate was 17.8% (83/465). The pretreatment drug resistance rates to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and protease inhibitors (PIs) were 16.6% (77/465), 1.1% (5/465) and 0.9% (4/465), respectively. The resistance rate to rilpivirine (RPV) was the highest (15.7%, 73/465). The most common mutation was E138A (11.6%, 54/465). There were six polymorphic mutations (S162C, K102Q, T200A, V179E, I202V, T200M) that co-variated with E138A. The molecular transmission network showed that patients infected with CRF08_BC strains carrying the resistant mutations at position E138 mainly gathered in clusters in Yunnan and Sichuan, and the highest degree of connection was in Lincang, Yunnan. Conclusions:In China, HIV-1 CRF08_BC-infected patients showed a high rate of pretreatment resistance to one of the second-generation NNRTIs, namely RPV. Further researches were warranted to evaluate the impacts of co-mutations of the E138A mutation and polymorphic sites on HIV resistance and replicative capacity.

Objective:Anterior cruciate ligament injury is the most common type of knee joint ligament injury.Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has a high failure rate,with bone tunnel abnormalities as the most significant factor in these failures.Digital orthopedic technology can effectively develop implementation plans for the revision,thus increasing the success rate.This study aims to develop a surgical plan for anterior cruciate ligament revision by employing multiplanar reconstruction(MPR)for measuring bone tunnel position and diameter,and simulating bone tunnel creation via 3D printing preoperatively. Methods:A total of 12 patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament revision at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between 2014 and 2021 were retrospectively studied.The data included patient demographics,preoperative formulated knee joint 3D printing models,and preoperative knee CT scans.The study measured the bone tunnel's diameter and position to guide the establishment of revision bone tunnels during surgery,reassessed the postoperative bone tunnels,and evaluated knee joint functional scores[including International Knee Documentation Committee Knee Evaluation Form(IKDC)score,Lysholm score,and Tegner exercise level score]. Results:Preoperative measurements revealed suboptimal femoral tunnels positions in 4 patients and tibial tunnels positions in 2 patients.MPR and 3D printing technology were used to guide the establishment of a new bone canal during surgery,and postoperative measurements were satisfactory for all patients.Preoperative measurements demonstrated the interclass correlation coefficient for femoral tunnels and tibial tunnels diameters were 0.843(P<0.05)and 0.889(P<0.001),respectively.Meanwhile,the intraclass correlation coefficient were 0.811(P<0.05)and 0.784(P<0.05),respectively.The intraoperative diameter of femoral and tibial tunnels showed excellent correlation with postoperative CT measurements,with intraclass correlation coefficient values of 0.995(P<0.001)and 0.987(P<0.001),respectively.All bone tunnel positions were within the normal range.At the final follow-up,knee joint function scores in all 12 patients improved significantly compared to pre-surgery(P<0.001),and the reoperation rate was zero. Conclusion:MPR and 3D printing technology can accurately measure the parameters of reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament bone tunnels.Personalized revision plans for patients with reconstruction failure enhances the success rate of revision surgery and improves patient prognosis.
