Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2023;36(8):902-910
Objective To investigate the effect of non-structural protein amino acid mutations(NS1-G53D,NS3-E250V)on viral proliferation and virulence of Dengue virus(DENV)type 4 Ban18HK20 strain.Methods The mutant sites in Ban18-HK20 strain were determined by sequence alignment with an attenuated strain of DENV(PDK53). Point mutation plasmids pSPTM-Ban18HK20(G53D),pSPTM-Ban18HK20(E250V)and pSPTM-Ban18HK20(G53D+E250V)were constructed by using homologous recombination technique,and identified by enzymatic cleavage and sequencing. Viral RNA was obtained by in vitro transcription and then electrotransfected to Vero cells to rescue the point mutant virus. The biological characteristics of point mutant virus were identified by plaque assay,indirect immunofluorescence assay,virus genome sequencing,growth kinetics test,CCK-8 test and mouse neurotoxicity test.Results Enzyme digestion and sequencing confirmed that the point mutation plasmids were constructed correctly. The results of immunofluorescence assay and virus sequencing showed that the virus was rescued successfully. The point mutation virus showed smaller plaque than the wildtype virus. The virus titers of Ban18HK20(G53D),Ban18HK20(E250V)and Ban18HK20(G53D+E250V)reached the peak on the 4th day,which were 7. 67,7. 84 and 7. 78 LgPFU/mL,respectively. The titer of the wild-type virus reached the peak value 7. 68 LgPFU/mL on the 5th day. The proliferation activity of BHK21 cells infected with Ban18HK20(G53D)was significantly higher than those infected with the wild-type virus(P = 0. 003 6)and the proliferative activity of C6/36 cells infected with Ban18HK20(G53D)and Ban18HK20(G53D+E250V)was significantly higher than those infected with the wild-type virus(P < 0. 000 1). Both the point mutation virus and wild-type virus had no neurotoxicity to 4-week-old BALB/c mice. The neurotoxicity of point mutation viruses Ban18HK20(E250V)(LD_(50)=8. 51 PFU)and Ban18HK20(G53D+E250V)(LD_(50)= 0. 69 PFU)on 3-day-old BALB/c neonatal mice was lower than that of the wildtype virus(LD_(50)= 0. 69 PFU). The survival rate(60%)of nude mice injected with point mutation virus Ban18HK20(G53D +E250V)was higher than those injected with the wild-type virus(0)after intracerebral injection of the same amount of virus. The point mutation virus was genetically stable,and no recurrent mutation occurred in Vero cells after passage to the10th generation.Conclusion The non-structural protein NS1-G53D amino acid mutation weakens the cytotoxicity of Ban18HK20 strain to C6/36 and BHK21 cells,and the two-point combined mutation could weaken the neurotoxicity of Ban18HK20 strain in nude mice,which laid a foundation of the study of DENV virulence sites and the development of the vaccine.

Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2003;0(08):-
Objective To study the effects of the accessory deep peroneal nerve,an anomalous branch of the superficial peroneal nerve, on the diagnosis of the deep peroneal nerve injuries. Methods Ten cases (7 male, 3 female, mean age 32.8 years) of deep peroneal nerve injuries with the presence of accessory deep peroneal nerve were examined in this study. All the cases were reviewed and analyzed with regard to the basic anatomy, clinical symptoms, electrophysiological data and diagnosis. Results In the presence of the accessory deep peroneal nerve, the lesions of the deep peroneal nerve spare the function of the lateral portion or the whole of the the extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) muscle. It may result in an unconformity of the severity of lesion and its clinical symptoms as well as the electrophysiological findings. Conclusion Knowledge of this anomaly is of crucial importance in the clinical evaluation of nerve injuries of deep peroneal nerve, as well as in avoiding errors in interpreting the electrophysiological data of this nerve.

Objective To study the effect of the Riche-Cannieu anastomosis, an anomalous anastomosis between the deep branch of ulnar nerve and the recurrent branch of median nerve in the palm of the hand, on the diagnosis of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Methods Twelve patients (2 male, 10 female, mean age 49.8 years) with carpal tunnel syndrome with the presence of Riche-Cannieu anastomosis were tested in this study. Their clinical data including the symptoms and signs, electrophysiological findings and diagnosis were collected and discussed in relation to an anatomical review of these nerves. Results Due to the existence of the Riche-Cannieu anastomosis, the patients with carpal tunnel syndrome spared part or all of the function of the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) muscle. It may result in an unconformity of the patients′lesion degree caused by carpal tunnel syndrome and its clinical symptoms and electrophysiological findings. Conclusion Knowledge of the Riche-Cannieu anastomosis is of crucial importance in the clinical evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as in avoiding errors in interpreting the electrophysiological data of the patients.

Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2003;0(06):-
Objective;To investigate whether the traditional Chinese medicine Yisheng Injection can reduce the injury on isolated rat heart induced by cold ischemia. Methods ;18 isolated female closed colony SD rats were divided into two groups at random. In the control group, the isolated rat hearts were preserved in 0.9% sodium chlorine solution at 4℃ , while in the experimental group ,the hearts were preserved in 0.9% sodium chlorine solution containing Yisheng injection at 4℃. The specimens were harvested 2,6,12, 24,48 and 72 hours after preservation. Histochemical changes were observed in two groups. Results ;In the control group, the activities of alkaline phosphatase ( ALP) and NADPH diaphorase (NADPHD) decreased after cold ischemia for 24 hours. Lactic dehydro-genase (LDH) decreased slightly, while ALP and NADPHD decreased evidently, after cold ischemia for 48 hours. Succinic dehydro-genase ( SDH) and cytochrome oxidase ( CCO) decreased slightly, and NADPHD disappeared after cold ischemia for 72 hours respectively. In the experimental group, NADPHD, LDH and CCO decreased slightly after cold ischemia for 24, 48 and 72 hours. ALP decreased slightly after cold ischemia for 48 hours, however, SDH showed no changes, after cold ischemia for 72 hours. Conclusion : Cold ischemia can induce cold ischemia injury in isolated rat hearts, especially the vascular endothelial cells being more sensitive. Yisheng injection can reduce this kind of injury to some degree.

Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2003;0(03):-
Objective To investigate the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of entrapment syndrome involving the median nerve's recurrent branch. Methods Fourteen cases (10 male, 4 female, mean age 34.7) of medial nerve recurrent branch entrapment syndrome were retrospectively analyzed in this study with regard to their clinical and electrophysiological data. Results Normal sensory conduction velocity ( SCV ) and normal amplitude of the sensory nerve action potential ( SNAP) were found, but there was a delay of the distal motor latency (DML) in all 14 cases. The compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude was decreased in 11 cases, and normal motor conduction velocity (MCV) was demonstrated in 12 cases. Fibrillation potentials and/or positive sharp waves were detected in the abductor pollicis brevis muscle in 12 cases and in the opponens pollicis muscle in 14 cases. EMGs of the flexor digitorum superficialis and pronator quadratus muscle were normal in all 14 cases. Conclusion Electrophysiological examination could provide objective and reliable data for diagnosing and differentially diagnosing median nerve recurrent branch entrapment syndrome.
