OBJECTlVE To observe the effect of soybean isofIavone( SI)on the expression of nephrin and investigate its protection mechanism in the kidney of diabetic rats. METHODS A diabetic rat modeI was induced after streptozocin(STZ)60 mg·kg-1 was injected into Sprague-DawIey rats. After 72 h,SI 40,120 and 360 mg·kg-1 was ip given to rats in SI groups,respectiveIy,once daiIy,for 8 weeks. The concentration of fasting bIood gIucose( FBG)was determined by a bIood gIucose meter. Urine protein(UP)of 24 h was determined using ELISA. The concentration of serum creatinine(SCr),bIood urea nitrogen(BUN),maIondiaIdehyde(mDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)was determined by an automatic biochemicaI anaIyzer. The expression of nephrin,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and NF-κB protein in renaI tissue was measured by Western bIotting,respectiveIy. RESULTS Compared with normaI controI group,the concentration of FBG,24 h UP,BUN,SCr and mDA in modeI group was aII siginificantIy increased(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01),but SOD was decreased( P﹤0.01).Compared with modeI group,BUN in SI 40,120 and 360 mg·kg-1 groups decreased from(24.3±6.3)mmoI·L-1 to(16.8±4.9), (13.4±5.4)and(7.7±1.2)mmoI·L-1 ,respectiveIy,24 h UP in SI 360 mg·kg-1 group decreased from (1.26±0.45)mg to(0.88±0.15)mg( P﹤0.01),SCr decreased from(56.4±8.4)μmoI·L-1 to(35.3± 4.3)μmoI·L-1(P﹤0.01),mDA decreased from(8.32±1.40)μmoI·L-1 to(5.33±0.95)μmoI·L-1(P﹤0.01), but SOD in SI 120 and 360 mg·kg-1 groups increased from(125.5 ±2.4)kU·L-1 to 144.2 ±9.2 and (169.2±3.2)kU·L-1(P﹤0.01). Compared with SI 120 mg·kg-1 ,SCr,BUN and mDA in SI 360 mg·kg-1 group were aII siginificantIy Iower(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01),but SOD was higher(P﹤0.01). Compared with normaI controI group,the expression of nephrin protein greatIy decreased(P﹤0.01),whiIe the expres-sion of TNF-α protein greatIy increased in modeI group( P ﹤0.01). Compared with modeI group,the expression of nephrin protein greatIy increased in SI 40,120 and 360 mg·kg-1 groups(P﹤0.01),whiIe the expression of TNF-α and NF-κB protein greatIy decreased in SI 120 and 360 mg·kg-1 groups(P﹤0.01). CONCLUSlON The mechanism by which SI protects the kidney may be partIy reIated to anti-infIammation,antioxidation and increasing the expression of nephrin in diabetic rats.

Patients in both groups received sensitive antibiotics for anti-infection, etiological treatment, and calefacient and humidifying treatment. The patients in the control group received bronchoalveolar lavage with fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and those in the observation group received bronchoalveolar lavage combined with vibration sputum drainage. The parameters of respiratory function and inflammation before and after treatment, curative effect, and prognosis were compared between the two groups.Results ① There were no significant differences in respiratory function parameters between the two groups before treatment, 2 hours after treatment, the parameters were improved in both groups. Moreover, oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) in observation group was significantly higher than that of control group [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 379.1±20.2 vs. 351.8±24.7], and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and airway resistance (Raw) were significantly lower than those of the control group[PaCO2 (mmHg): 36.5±5.8 vs. 45.3±6.9, Raw (cmH2O, 1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa): 12.9±0.6 vs. 13.1±0.8, allP < 0.01]. ② There were no significant differences in inflammation parameters between the two groups before treatment, 24 hours after intervention, which were significantly decreased in both groups. Moreover, white blood cell count (WBC), procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group [WBC (×109/L): 8.2±1.7 vs. 12.8±3.7, PCT (μg/L): 15.4±2.4 vs. 21.8±3.1, CRP (mg/L): 37.1±6.1 vs. 67.2±7.2, allP < 0.01]. ③ Compared with the control group, the treatment efficiency of observation group was improved [95.1% (136/143) vs. 87.4% (125/143)], the quantity of sputum excretion was increased (mL: 49.2±12.5 vs. 36.9±11.0), duration of MV and length of ICU stay were significantly shortened (days: 6.4±3.6 vs. 9.4±2.1, 8.6±5.7 vs. 12.4±4.6, bothP < 0.01), however, there was no significantly statistical difference in 28-day mortality between control group and observation group [2.8% (4/143) vs. 2.1% (3/143),P > 0.05].Conclusion Compared with bronchoalveolar lavage with fiberoptic bronchoscopy alone, the treatment of bronchoalveolar lavage combined with vibration sputum drainage is more effective in sputum excretion for severe pneumonia patients undergoing MV, which could improve the respiratory function, reduce infection, shorten the duration of MV and the length of ICU stay, and improve the recovery.

Objective:To design and construct the replication-deficient recombinant adenovirus Ad-siCTGF which can silence the expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) by RNA interference and verified its function. Methods:A specific sequence, which was verified to be able to silence CTGF gene with high efficiency, was cloned into pSES-HUS vector to produce the shuttle plasmid pSES-siCTGF. The plasmid after Pme Ⅰ linearization was cotransduced with pAdEasy into BJ5183 E.coli strains to construct recombinant vector Ad-siCTGF. After linearization treatment with Pac Ⅰ enzyme digestion Ad-siCTGF was transfected into HEK293 cells via liposome mediation. The recombinant adenovirus was packaged. The titer of the Ad-siCTGF was increased after three times of cross-infection. 4T1 cells were infected with the adenovirus. The silencing efficiency was tested by real-time fluorescence quantitative (RFQ)-PCR and Western blotting.Results:Pac Ⅰ enzyme digestion electrophoresis indentified that recombinant adenovirus was successfully constructed. The titer of the recombinant adenovirus Ad-siCTGF was 2.6×10~(10) pfu/mL after amplification and purification. The CTGF mRNA and protein expression in 4T1 cells were decreased by 36.27% and 31.56%, respectively, compared with the control groups.Conclusion:The recombinant adenovirus which can silence the expression of CTGF was successfully constructed. It laid a good foundation for further investigation of the action mechanism of CTGF in tumor cells.

Objective To construct 131 I labeled anti?EGFR immunoliposome nanoparticle ( 131 I?Cetuaximab ( C225)?BSA?PCL) , and investigate its inhibitory effect on EGFR?overexpressing cancer cells in vitro. Methods Anti?EGFR liposome nanoparticle C225?BSA?PCL and non?targeted liposomes BSA?PCL were constructed. The products were observed with transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scat?tering. The EGFR?targeted binding and cellular uptake in EGFR?overexpressing cancer cells were observed with flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Anti?EGFR and non?targeted liposomes were labeled with 131 I using the chloramine?T method. The targeted cell killing effects of 131 I labeled liposomes were analyzed using MTT assay. The time?dependent cellular uptake analysis was used to evaluate the slow?release effects of the 131 I labeled liposomes. The independent?samples t test was used for data analysis. Results The EG?FR?targeted liposome C225?BSA?PCL and non?targeted liposome BSA?PCL were successfully constructed, and the effective diameters were approximately 130-180 nm. Flow cytometry and confocal microscopy re?vealed significant uptake of C225?BSA?PCL in EGFR?overexpressing tumor cells. BSA?PCL could also bind to cells with minimal and weak tumor retention. The EGFR?targeted radioactive liposome 131I?C225?BSA?PCL showed greater targeted cell killing effect than non?targeted liposome 131I?BSA?PCL,the IC50 values of 131I?C225?BSA?PCL and 131 I?BSA?PCL were 0. 03-1. 32 and 0. 25-12. 19, respectively. The uptakes of 131 I?C225?BSA?PCL was higher than that of 131 I?BSA?PCL ( t=3.03-16.86, all P<0.05) and reached the maxi?mal level at 4 h after incubation. Conclusions The EGFR?targeted liposome C225?BSA?PCL demonstrated superior cellular binding and uptake on EGFR?overexpressing cancer cells compared with BSA?PCL. The EGFR?targeted radioactive liposome 131 I?C225?BSA?PCL had favorable intracellular retention and excellent targeted cell killing effect, and could effectively suppress the growth of EGFR?overexpressing cancer cells.

Objective To analyze the phenotypic characteristics of antiviral-resistant influenza B viruses circulating in mainland China and to analyze the susceptibility of influenza B viruses to neuraminidase inhibitors ( NAIs) . Methods Antiviral-resistant phenotyping test was performed to analyze the NAI suscep-tibility of 1 386 influenza B viruses isolated in mainland China from April 2014 to March 2015, including the test of susceptibility to oseltamivir and zanamivir. Results All of the 94 B-Victoria lineage viruses were sensitive to oseltamivir and zanamivir. Of all 1 292 B-Yamagata lineage viruses tested, 1 virus showed re-duced sensitivity to oseltamivir with NA gene containing I221T amino acid mutation, 10 viruses showed re-duced sensitivity to zanamivir with 4 having D197N amino acid mutation in NA gene, 3 viruses showed re-duced sensitivity to both oseltamivir and zanamivir with NA gene possessing D197N amino acid mutation and 1 virus carrying the A245T amino acid mutation in NA gene showed reduced sensitivity to oseltamivir and highly reduced sensitivity to zanamivir. Conclusion The majority of influenza B viruses circulating in main-land China during 2014 to 2015 were sensitive to NAIs, which indicated that NAIs could be used continually for clinical treatment of patients with influenza. Sustained monitoring of antiviral susceptibility of influenza B viruses should be emphasized for timely detection of antiviral resistant viruses and more attention should be paid to the D197N mutations in NA gene of influenza B viruses.

Data based on the antiviral-resistant phenotyping characteristics of 884 influenza B viruses circulating in mainland China from October 2013 to March 2014 were analyzed to assess the susceptibility of influenza B viruses to neuraminidase inhibitors. All 884 viruses were sensitive to oseltamivir; two viruses (0.23%) had reduced sensitivity to zanamivir and all other viruses were sensitive to zanamivir. Among the 38 viruses with a B/Victoria lineage, B/Shandong-Kuiwen/1195/2014 exhibited a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for zanamivir that was elevated by 5. 12-fold (1.78 nM) compared with neuraminidase inhibitors sensitive to the reference virus (0.34 nM), suggesting that it exhibited reduced inhibition by zanamivir. D35G, N59D and S402T (39, 64 and 399 with N2 number) amino-acid substitutions in the NA gene were detected with no previously reported antiviral-resistant substitutions. Among viruses with the 846 B/Yamagata lineage, B/Hunan-Lingling/350/2013 exhibited a 7.99-fold elevated IC50 for zanamivir (2.72 nM) compared with neuraminidase inhibitors sensitive to the reference virus (0.34 nM), suggesting that it exhibited reduced inhibition by zanamivir. D197N (N2 number), a previously reported antiviral resistant-related amino-acid substitution in the NA gene, was detected in B/Hunan-Lingling/350/2013. These data suggest that recently circulating influenza B viruses in mainland China have retained susceptibility to neuraminidase inhibitors.

OBJECTIVETo understand the risks and associated factors of HIV transmission by sharing syringes among HIV-positive drug users.
METHODThe survey was conducted among HIV-positive injecting drug users (IDUs-HIV+) who received HIV counseling, testing and treatment in Changsha city Infectious Disease Hospital and Hengyang city No.3 People's Hospital from July 2012 to May 2013 to understand their socio-demographic characteristics, HIV prevalence and syringe sharing. A total of 503 IDUs-HIV+ were involved in and provided the contact list of 2 460 drug users who had the syringe sharing experience over one month with IDUs-HIV+. 420 IDUs-HIV+ among 503 were defined as infection sources due to sharing syringe with at least one drug user. Among them, 234 HIV-negative persons were in control group, and 186 HIV-positive were in cased group. A total of 1 220 drug users were followed up among 2 460 and defined as vulnerable population. The HIV transmission rate was calculated based on the HIV prevalence among vulnerable population. Based on the result of HIV transmission to vulnerable population from 420 infection sources, case-control study and the multivariate logistic regression analysis were adopted to explore the associated factors of HIV transmission among IDUs-HIV+.
RESULTSAs the sources of HIV transmission, 420 IDUs-HIV+ had an average duration of (4.5 ± 1.2) years for drug use. As a susceptible population, 1 220 drug users sharing syringes with the 420 IDUs-HIV+ had an average duration of (1.1 ± 0.5) years for drug use. There were 238 HIV-positive persons among 1 220 vulnerable drug users, with a transmission rate of 0.57. In the case-control study, the proportion of male subjects was 87.1% (162/186) in the case group, which was higher than that in the control group (77.8%, 182/234). The proportion of subjects who received support after knowing their HIV infection status was 51.1% (95/186) in the case group, which was lower than that in the control group (79.5%, 186/234). The proportion of subjects sharing syringes every time of using drugs was 47.8% (89/186) in the case group, which was higher than that in the control group (36.8%, 86/234). The proportion of subjects having AIDS awareness was 21.0% (39/186) in the case group, which was lower than that in the control group (64.5%, 151/234); the proportion of subjects having close contact with HIV-positive persons for more than 106 days was 60.2% (112/186) in the case group, which was higher than that in the control group (31.6%, 74/234). The proportion of subjects maintaining the original drug use method after being infected with HIV was 50.5% (94/186) in the case group, which was higher than that in the control group (16.7%, 39/234) (all P values < 0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to analyse high correlate factors of HIV transmission by sources of transmission, and the AIDS awareness, duration of contact between sources of transmission and vulnerable population, access to support following confirmed HIV infection were protective factors, OR (95% CI) values were 0.155 (0.104-0.262), 0.170 (0.106-0.253), and 0.306 (0.189-0.450), respectively; while the frequency of syringe sharing and continuous drug use after being infected with HIV were risk factors, and the OR (95% CI) values were 3.06 (1.77-5.29), and 3.54 (2.16-5.80), respectively.
CONCLUSIONHIV transmission by IDUs-HIV+ might be contained by raising AIDS awareness, providing comprehensive psychological support, conducting needle exchange and methadone maintenance treatment and reducing syringe sharing.
