Influenza virus is a virus causing upper respiratory tract infection disease with high morbidity and mortality. China is considered as an area with high rate of influenza morbidity. Prevention and treatment of influenza currently rely on vaccines and antiviral agents in the world. In addition, traditional Chinese medicines also have been used in clinical for influenza therapy. In vitro anti-influenza virus activities of 10 traditional Chinese medicines were studied by cytopathic effect (CPE). Qingre Jiedu oral liquid (factory H) had strong antiviral activity against influenza virus A/Guangdong Luohu/219/2006 (H1N1); Yinhuang oral liquid had strong antiviral activity against influenza virus A/Hanfang/359/95 and A/Yuefang/243/72 (H3N2). Qingkailing oral liquid (factory G) had strong antiviral activity against influenza virus A/Jifang/15/90 (H3N2). Qingre Jiedu oral liquid (factory H) had strong antiviral activity against influenza virus A/Jifang/15/90, A/Yuefang/243/72 (H3N2) and virus B.

Ribavirin is a broad-spectrum inhibitor against several unrelated DNA or RNA viruses in vitro and in vivo. In this paper the in vitro and in vivo study of anti-influenza virus activity of ribavirin (RBV) injection had been reported. The in vitro antiviral activity of ribavirin injection against influenza virus A and B was studied by CPE. The in vivo protective action of ribavirin injection against influenza A/FM/1/47(H1N1) mouse adapted strain infected mouse was studied with mouse model. The results showed ribavirin injection has strong inhibitory activity against 7 virus strains tested in vitro. Ribavirin injection could significantly increase virus infected mouse survival rate and survival days and improve lung pathogen and lung index.

Objective To evaluate the effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms at the miRNA binding site rs3660 in the 3'-untranslated region of the KRT81 gene (miR-SNPs) on the cancer risk and clinical prognosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL).Methods The single-nucleo-tide polymorphisms of rs3660 was genotyped with ligation detection reaction method.The association of rs3660 with NHL survival was calculated with log-rank test using Kaplan-Meier method.Multivariate survival analysis was performed using a Cox proportional hazards model.Results The rs3660 genotype distribution difference was not statistically significant between the case and control group (P =0.50).Patients carrying the rs3660 CG/CC genotype exhibited a significantly longer survival time than patients carrying the GG genotype (P =0.012).In addition,rs3660 was associated independently with the survival of NHL patients in multivariate analysis (RR=0.589,95% CI:0.415-0.832,P =0.004).The association of this miR-SNP with NHL survival was further confirmed in the peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) subtype.Conclusion Our results indicate that KRT81 rs3660 GG type is an independent prognostic marker in NHL.
