Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) are human pathogens responsible for a variety of diseases,including localized mucocutaneous lesions,encephalitis,and disseminated diseases.HSV infection leads to rapid induction of innate immune responses.A critical part of this host response is the type I IFN system including the induction of type I IFNs,IFN-mediated signaling and amplification of IFN response.This provides the host with immediate countermeasure during acute infection to limit initial viral replication and to facilitate an appropriate adaptive immune response.However,HSV has devised multiple strategies to evade and interfere with innate immunity.This review will focus on the induction of type I IFN response by HSV during acute infection and current knowledge of mechanisms by which HSV interferes with this induction process.

Objective To improve the prognosis and radical resection of the extended pancreaticoduodenectomy for patients with pancreatic cancer in the ucinate process involving mesentery mot. Methods From Jan. 2004 to Dec. 2007, a total of 23 ( 14 male and 9 female, aged between 30 and 72 years old) patients with pancreatic cancer in the ucinate process involving mesentery root were treated in our department. Curative resection was performed for all patients by the extended pancreaticoduodenectomy with superior mesenteric artery (SMA) isolation and mesentery root resection. The surgical procedure, the safety and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively. Results 12 patients underwent the procedure, among them 11 also underwent combined SMV partial resection and reconstruction. The operation time was (4.2 ± 1.1 ) hours, and the blood loss was ( 1 635 ± 1 362) ml with the blood transfusion of ( 1 609 ± 1 462 ) ml. There was no operation related death in this case series, and mild to severe diarrhea occurred in 6 cases. The post-operative stay ranged 9 to 30 days. The pathological examination showed that the tumor size was (5.3 ± 1.4) cm. 13 patients (57%) had one or more lymph nodes metastasis. 20 patients (87%) had nerve involvement. Among 11 patients with SMV partial resection and reconstruction, 10 patients had endangium involvement. 22 patients had negative surgical margins for all specimens. Rapid intra-operative frozen pathological examination showed negative surgical margins in one patient, however, post-operative paraffin section pathological examination revealed nerve involvement between SMA and celiac trunk. After a follow-up of 5 to 42 months, liver metastasis occurred in 4 patients, and local recurrence occurred in 3 patients. The 1-year and 2-year accumulated survival rates were 77.2% and 42.5%, respectively. Conclusions Isolation SMA and the mesentery resection in extended pancreaticodudenectomy were safe and useful. Using this modified technique, Radical operation resection could be achieved in the treatment of pancreatic cancer in uncinate process.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of donor liver pretreated by breviscapine on liver transplantation ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats. Methods SD rats served as liver donors and recipients (n =48 each).The recipients were divided into four groups by random number table.The donors in groups A and C were not pretreated with breviscapine,but those in groups B and D were pretreated with 20 mg/L Breviscapine.The cold ischemia time in donor livers of groups A and B was 30-40 min,and that in groups C and D was 12 h. Clotting function, liver function, serum thrombomodulin,caspase3,and relative activity of NF-kB after liver transplantation were assessed,and the pathological changes and TUNEL apoptosis staining were observed.ResultsThe mortality in groups C and D was 40.0% (8/20) and 29.4% (5/17),respectively (P>0.05).There were no significant changes in coagulation function in all groups after operation. The liver function was improved,pathological lesions were alleviated,and apoptosis rate,serum TM,caspase3 expression and activity of NF-kB in the liver tissues of group D were significantly decreased as compared with group C at 3rd day after operation (P<0.01),but all these parameters in group B had no significant change compared to group A.ConclusionPretreatment of donor livers with breviscapine can reduce the ischemia/reperfusion injury and apoptosis after liver transplantation in rats probably by inhibiting the apoptosis-related pathway and alleviating the damage to the endothelial cells of the liver microcirculation.
