Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(10):728-731
The severe infectious diseases caused by virus are occurring with increasing frequency, which poses a rising global threat to human health and life.There are many kinds of viruses that cause a wide variety of viral diseases.The same kind of virus is able to cause different diseases, meanwhile a disease can be caused by different viruses.All these conditions make the relationship between viral pathogens and infection diseases complicated.At present, no effective laboratory detection methods for most of virus infectious diseases are developed.But the rapid development of molecular diagnostic technologies makes it possible for clinical laboratory to detect viral infection diseases rapidly and simultaneously.This review summarized the present and development perspectives of laboratory tests for the diagnosis of clinical virus infections, attempting to give some advices for laboratory diagnosis procedure of viral infections.

Objective:To study the effect of endogenous IL-1? on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and COX2 in dental pulp cells. Methods:Human dental pulp cells were treated with human recombinant IL-1? at 1 nmol/L in serum-free medium for 18 h. Then the cells were collected and total RNA was isolated, MMPs and COX2 mRNA expression was assessed by semiquantitative RT-PCR. Results:IL-1? at 1 nmol/L induced the expression of COX2 and MMP-1 mRNA in human dental pulp cells. Conclusion:IL-1? may contribute to stimulating expression of MMPs and COX2 in the dental pulp during pulpitis.

Objective To investigate the mid-term effect of SolitaireAB stent-assisted interventional embolization with spring coils for the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms. Methods During the period from May 2009 to April 2013, a total of 49 patients with intracranial wide-necked aneurysm (49 aneurysms in total) received SolitaireAB stent-assisted interventional embolization treatment at authors’ hospital. In 41 patients, a total of 41 aneurysms were detected, of which ruptured aneurysm with bleeding was confirmed in 26 and un-ruptured aneurysm in 15. These 41 patients were followed up for 12-48 months. Based on modified Rankin scoring and DSA, CTA or MRA manifestations, the clinical results were evaluated. Results After the embolization treatment, re-bleeding of the aneurysm occurred in 2 cases, cerebral infarction in 3 cases, occlusion of the parent artery in one case and death in one case; the occurrence rate of complications was 14.2%. DSA, MRA or CTA performed at 12 months after the embolization treatment, showed that 32 aneurysms (78.0%) were completely obstructed, which was obviously higher than that observed on DSA performed immediately after the embolization procedure (21 aneurysms, 42.9%), the difference was statistically significant (P=0.02);residue of aneurismal neck was seen in 7 cases (17.1%) and partial occlusion in 2 cases (4.9%), which were much better than those observed on DSA that was performed immediately after the embolization procedure. Twenty-four aneurysms (58.5%) remained stable, showing no any change, and recurrence of aneurysm was observed in 4 cases (9.7%). At the last follow-up exam, the modified Rankin scoring showed that 0 point was seen in 18 cases (43.9%), one point in 10 cases (24.4%), 2 points in 5 cases (12.2%), 3 points in 4 cases (9.8%), 4 points in 2 cases (4.85%) and 5 points in 2 cases (4.85%). The self-care rate for daily activities was 80.5%, the prognosis was good. Conclusion For the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms, SolitaireAB stent-assisted interventional embolization with spring coils is safe and effective. This technique can improve the embolization rate and reduce the procedure-related complications.
