International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(1):6-10
In March 2009,a new influenza A H1N1 virus was identified in Mexico.It is a quadruple-reassortant influenza A virus, which is composed of a combination of swine, avian strains and human. The clinical symptoms of the 2009 new influenza A (H1N1) are similar with the seasonal influenza.The severe illness could happened in youth and middle-aged without underlying diseases that differs from seasonal influenza. The risk groups are individuals with underlying diseases,pregnancy and obesity which has not been considered as risk factor in previous. Although oseltamivir-resistant variant influenza A ( H1N1 ) were reported, strain is susceptible to oseltamivir. This review summarizes the current information concerning viral genom,clinical features and treatment of the new pandemic influenza virus A H1N1 infection.

BACKGROUND: Studies confirm that ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury can induce myocardial apoptosis. The loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) after reperfusion is the inevitable pathway of apoptosis. Protection of MMP may reduce apoptosis.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of naloxone on MMP of hypoxic myocardial cells and apoptosis in neonatal rats, and investigate the protective effect of naloxone on hypoxic myocardial cells.DESIGN: Observation and controlled trial.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, the General Hospital of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: Detection of apoptosis of myocardial cells was carried out in the Laboratory of Pathophysiology, General Hospital of Chinese PLA in December 2004. Ten neonatal rats were used, and detection of MMP of myocardial cells was carried out in the same laboratory in March 2006 and 20 rats were used. All the involved rats were provided by the Animal Center of the General Hospital of Chinese PLA on the day of birth, were involved in this trial. Reagents: Naloxone hydrochloride injection (0.4 g/L, Beijing Sihuan Pharmaceutical Factory, Batch No. 0206272); the lowest and essential medium (Dulbecco, DEME,GIBCO company); phosphate buffer solution and fetal bovine serum (PBS and FBS, SIGMA Company).METHODS: The neonate rats were cut open along the median line of chest bone after local sterilization with iodine tincture on the day of birth. 1/3 ventricular myocardium before cardiac apex was harvested. On the 4th day of the culture,culture flasks of cells in good growth status ( > 106 cells/bottle) were selected and divided into 3 groups: control group (normal culture, n =3 bottles), hypoxia group (hypoxia/reoxygenation, n =15 bottles) and naloxone group (hypoxia/reoxygenation, and treated by naloxone, n =15 bottles). Three time points were set in hypoxia group and naloxone group according to different time of hypoxia and reoxygenation: hypoxia 2 hours/reoxygenation 0 hour; hypoxia 2 hours/reoxygenation 2 hours; hypoxia 2 hours/reoxygenation 4 hours, 5 bottles at each time point. In the hypoxia group, DEME medium, which was pre-filled with 0.95 volume fraction of N2 and 0.05 volume fraction of CO2, containing 0.01 volume fraction of FBS, was used and 0.95 volume fraction of N2 and 0.05 volume fraction of CO2 was also filled to replace the air in the culture flasks. The culture flasks were enveloped for incubation at 37 ℃. The cells in the hypoxia group were incubated at normal condition (0.95 volume fraction of air and 0.05 volume fraction of CO2) at set time. In the naxolone group, hypoxia/reoxygenation treatment was the same as above, and naloxone hydrochloride was added at the sametime and the final concentration of naloxone in culture flasks was 5 μmol/L (The volume for naloxone ≤ 0.5% of the total medium). In the control group, hypoxia/reoxygenation and naloxone treatment were not given, but the same volume of normal saline was added, and this time served as time point of hypoxia 0 hour/reoxygenation 0 hour. After intervention,myocardial MMP changes and apoptosis were detected with fluorescent staining-flow cytometer at different time after hypoxia/reoxygenation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① MMP changes of hypoxia group and naloxone group at different time points; ② Comparison of survival, apoptosis and necrosis of cells at hypoxia 2 hours/reoxygenation 4 hours in each group.RESULTS: ① After hypoxia, MMPs of the cells in hypoxia group and naloxone group were decreased. MMP of the cells in the naloxone group was higher than that in the hypoxia group at each time point (P < 0.01). The great amplitude of decrease of MMP occurred in hypoxia period, but not in reoxygenation period. ② At hypoxia 2 hours/reoxygenation 4 hours, the apoptotic and necrotic rates in the hypoxia group were significantly higher than those in the naloxone group [(9.88±0.98)% vs. (2.41±0.52)%; (5.10±0.29)% vs. (3.56±0.56)%, both P < 0.01]. The apoptotic rate was significantly higher than the necrotic rate in the hypoxia group (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Early application of naloxone can significantly alleviate and postpone the decrease of myocardial MMP after I/R, and reduce apoptosis and necrosis.

OBJECTIVETo establish a perceived fatigue evaluating model during simulated load carriage that is based on objective variables through analyzing the characteristics and trends of shoulder force, shoulder pressure, waist pressure, back pressure, and perceived fatigue, and to provide an analytical technique for research on load carriage.
METHODSA 50-min simulated walking (at a speed of 5 km/h and a slope of 0%) experiment including 14 healthy male adults was conducted under four levels of backpack payloads (25, 29, 34, 37 kg). Shoulder force and trunk pressure were sampled simultaneously and analyzed with time- and frequency- domain methods. Multivariable linear regression was used to build a perceived fatigue evaluating model during load carriage.
RESULTSThe perceived fatigue evaluating model based on shoulder force, trunk pressure distribution ratio, load, and body mass index (BMI) was established. Its adjusted determination coefficient (aR2) was 0.709 and the absolute percentage error (APE) at the end of the experiment was less than 20%. The goodness of fit of the model based on frequency-domain independent variables was much higher compared with the model based on time-domain independent variables. The addition of BMI that represents the individual differences to the model obviously improved the goodness of fit.
CONCLUSIONThe perceived fatigue evaluating model established in this study does not rely on the physiological changes of individuals, and thus can be used to establish an evaluation system for human load carriage with dummy as a substitution for human in experiments and to provide a scientific basis for efficient human load carriage.

Objective:To explore the relationship between TK gene expression regulated by enhanced suicide gene vector and telomerase activity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.Method:The reformed reconstructed enhanced vector, pGL3-basic-EGFP-TK-hTRETp-CMV enhancer, and hTERT mono-promoter vector, pGL3-basic-EGFP-TK-hTRETp(as controls), were transfected into telomerase(+) nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cell lines,telomerase(+) human breast cancer MCF-7 cell lines and telomerase(-) normal vascular endothelium cell lines respectively. TK gene green fluorescent protein was observed by fluorescence microscope. The expression of TK gene mRNA was measured by the real-time fluorescent quantified PCR and the telomerase activity was determined by the method of TRAP argentation in maligment tumour cells pre- and post-transfected by enhanced vector . Meanwhile the relationship beteewn TK and telomerase was analyzed.Result:①A strong TK gene fluorescent show and TK mRNA expression were displayed after the enhanced suicide gene vector was transfected into nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cell lines and human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line, which were more stronger than those of mono-promoter group,pGL3-basic-EGFP-TK-hTRETp,and ECV cells transfected by enhanced suicide gene vector. Meanwhile,real-time fluorescent quantified PCR showed that the A value of enhanced vector group was higher than that of controls. ②Telomerase activity after transfection of enhanced vector and GCV was lower than those before by the method of TRAP argentation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines,but no change in normal control cells after transfection of enhanced vector and GCV.③ After adding GCV, the obvious inhibitory effect of tumour cells growth induced by pGL3-basic-EGFP-TK-hTRETp-CMV enhancer were observed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cell lines and human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line, which was higher than those of mono-promoter, pGL3-basic-EGFP-TK-hTRETp,pGL3-basic-EGFP3 and blank controls, but without inhibitory effect in ECV cells transfected by enhanced vector. Conclusion:TK gene expression is regulated by hTERT promoter and CMV enhancer, and then the telomerase activity is reduced and the cancer cells are specifically killed.But it is unclear how the telomerase are down-regulated by TK gene.
