It is to investigate the effect of two kinds of Houttuynia Cordata Injection on preventing and treating H1N1 influenza virus infection in mice. Pneumonia model was set up by intranasal infection of the normal and immunocompromised mice with influenza virus FM1 and PR8. The two injections were administered before and after the administration of virus, separately, and the lung index was observed. The results showed that the two preparations have obvious therapeutic effect on normal mice infected with influenza virus FM1 and PR8. And to FM1, the new injection's effect is better at small dosage. The results also showed that the two preparations have obvious prophylactic effect on immunodepressed mice infected with influenza virus FM1 and PR8. And to PR8, the old injection's effect is better at small dosage. Houttuynia Cordata Injection can improve the mice pneumonia caused by influenza virus H1N1 and decrease the lung index markedly. It has a remarkable preventive and therapeutic effect on H1N1 influenza virus in mice.

Objective:To analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) non-drug therapy on all-cause mortality and 12-month readmission in patients with chronic heart failure.Methods:A total 824 patients aged (80±10) years with chronic heart failure admitted to 4 hospitals in Shanghai Pudong New Area from January 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively enrolled. Propensity score match (PSM) method was used and 602 patients (301 pairs) were successively matched into TCM non-drug group (study group) and control group. The basic information, comorbidities, medication, laboratory test results, imaging findings, 12-month readmission and all-cause mortality after discharge were compared between two groups. Cox regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of adverse events in patients with chronic heart failure.Results:After PSM there were no significant differences in baseline variables between study group and control group ( P>0.05). The one-year survival probability of the study group was higher than that of the control group ( P=0.013). The adverse event incidence rate [43.52% ( n=131) vs. 53.82% ( n=162)], all-cause mortality [15.61% ( n=47) vs. 23.59% ( n=71)], 3-month readmission [10.96% ( n=33) vs. 17.61% ( n=53)], 6-month readmission [16.90% ( n=51) vs. 24.25% ( n=73s)], cardiac function classification, hs-CRP and NT-proBNP levels in study group were significantly lower than those in control group (all P<0.05). The Cox proportional risk model showed that old age ( RR=1.018, P<0.01), decreased cardiac function ( RR=2.200, P<0.01), diabetes ( RR=1.340, P=0.04), NT-proBNP≥7 900 ng/L( RR=1.557, P=0.01) were risk factors, while TCM non-drug therapy ( RR=0.768, P=0.04) was protective factor for the occurrence of adverse events. Conclusion:TCM non-drug therapy has a protective role for the occurrence of adverse events in patients with chronic heart failure. The use of TCM non-drug therapy should be advocated to improve the prognosis of patients, particularly at grassroots level.

Objective To investigate the expressions of CD34, CD123 and CD38 in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and their clinical significances. Methods A total of 164 patients with AML in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from February 2014 to July 2015 were enrolled. Cellular immunophenotyping was performed by flow cytometry. According to the expressions of CD34, CD38 and CD123, 164 patients were divided into positive group and negative group, and the clinical data and immature cells ratio of two groups were compared. Results In 164 patients with AML, 102 cases (62.2 %) were CD34 positive, 126 cases (76.8%) were CD123 positive, and 144 cases (88.3%) were CD38 positive. There were no significant differences in age and sex between the positive and negative groups (P> 0.05). But there were significant differences in the proportion of immature cells, white blood cell count and hemoglobin between the two groups (all P< 0.05). The expression rates of CD34, CD38 and CD123 were correlated with minimal residual disease and complete remission rate (all P< 0.05). Conclusions CD34, CD123 and CD38 are effective markers for AML detection. The expressions of CD34, CD123 and CD38 can be used as the judgment marker of cell maturity, which is conducive to the determination of the condition and prognosis of AML patients.

BACKGROUND:
Previous studies have examined the bulk transcriptome of peripheral blood immune cells in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients experiencing immunological non-responsiveness. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of specific immune cell subtypes in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients who exhibit immunological non-responsiveness.
METHODS:
A single-cell transcriptome sequencing of peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from both immunological responders (IRs) (CD4 + T-cell count >500) and immunological non-responders (INRs) (CD4 + T-cell count <300) was conducted. The transcriptomic profiles were used to identify distinct cell subpopulations, marker genes, and differentially expressed genes aiming to uncover potential genetic factors associated with immunological non-responsiveness.
RESULTS:
Among the cellular subpopulations analyzed, the ratios of monocytes, CD16 + monocytes, and exhausted B cells demonstrated the most substantial differences between INRs and IRs, with fold changes of 39.79, 11.08, and 2.71, respectively. In contrast, the CD4 + T cell ratio was significantly decreased (0.39-fold change) in INRs compared with that in IRs. Similarly, the ratios of natural killer cells and terminal effector CD8 + T cells were also lower (0.37-fold and 0.27-fold, respectively) in the INRs group. In addition to several well-characterized immune cell-specific markers, we identified a set of 181 marker genes that were enriched in biological pathways associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication. Notably, ISG15 , IFITM3 , PLSCR1 , HLA-DQB1 , CCL3L1 , and DDX5 , which have been demonstrated to influence HIV replication through their interaction with viral proteins, emerged as significant monocyte marker genes. Furthermore, the differentially expressed genes in natural killer cells were also enriched in biological pathways associated with HIV replication.
CONCLUSIONS
We generated an atlas of immune cell transcriptomes in HIV-infected IRs and INRs. Host genes associated with HIV replication were identified as markers of, and were found to be differentially expressed in, different types of immune cells.
