Objective To compare the different expression of EBNA-1 in the normal human lymphocytes and in the EBV-induced lymphomas so as to provide the basis for studying the mechanism of the EB virus-induced lymphoma. Methods Animal model of EBV-induced lymphoma was constructed in SCID mice. EBNA-1 gene expression level was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. Results EBV-induced lymphomas in animal model were replicated. EBNA-1 gene was expressed both in normal human lymphoma cells and 3 EBV-induced lymphoma cells. In EBV-induced lymphoma cells , the expression was up-regulated 11 683 times than in normal lymphocytes. Western blot results showed that the expression of EBNA-1 protein in induced lymphoma cells increased significantly compared with that in normal lymphocytes. Conclusions EBNA-1 expression in EBV-induced lymphoma cells is up-regulated than in normal lymphocytes. EBNA-1 may play an important role in the development of EBV-induced lymphoma.

Objective:To study the effect of Cyclosporine A(CSA) on inhibiting graft versus host reaction(GVHR) occured in hu PBL/SCID chimeras and to stably establish EBV induced lymphoma models.Methods:Human peripheral blood lymphocyts were isolated and were inoculated intraperitoneally into SCID mice.Mice were infected with EBV and injected intraperitoneally with CSA.Human sIL 2R in the serum of hu PBL/SCID chimeras were analyzed by ELISA.Results:No mouse was dead in CSA group,whereas 15 mice of the other three groups died of GVHR.The medium life span of no CSA administration mice was 17 days,and motalities were 55.56%(5/9),30.43%(7/23),42.86%(3/7)respectively.The difference was statistically significant between CSA group and the other groups.The levels of human sIL 2R were stable in CSA group while increased gradually in experimental infertion the groups without CSA.Difference was significant at day 15 and day 22 between the EBV infection group without CSA and with CSA administration.Of 38 survival SCID mice,24 mice developed tumors in their body cavities.Conclusion:CSA can strikingly inhibit GVHR that may occur in hu PBL/SCID mice,that could help practical to stably establish the lymphoma models.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome(MSMDS). Method: Clinical data of a case diagnosed as MSMDS and hospitalized in our hospital in July 2016 was retrospectively analyzed. Literature search was performed at databases of PubMed, Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and VIP with the key words "multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome" "ACTA2" . The literature retrieval was confined from January 1980 to November 2016.The characteristics of MSMDS were summarized through review of literature. Result: A girl aged 1.6 years had recurrent cough and wheeze for more than 1 year, complicated with congenital fixed dilated pupils, patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary hypertension, chronic lung disease, and cerebrovascular abnormalities. We had done gene analysis for the patient and found ACTA2 c. 536C>T(p.R179H) heterozygous mutations, but her parents were normal. Totally 11 reports were retrieved from foreign language literature and no report from Chinese literature could be found; the retrieved articles reported a total of 25 cases of multiple system smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome. The minimum age was 11 months, 17 cases were female, 8 were male. The clinical common characteristic is congenital fixed dilated pupils, patent ductus arteriosus, cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary hypertension, chronic lung disease, and so on. Conclusion Genetic testing for ACTA2 gene mutations should be considered in infants presenting with congenital fixed dilated pupils and patent ductus arteriosus.

Objective: To compare the characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae necrotizing pneumonia (MPNP) and bacterial necrotizing pneumonia (BNP), and explore the biomarkers for differentiation of MPNP from BNP. Methods: A retrospective, observational study of 52 necrotizing pneumonia (NP) cases who were hospitalized in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2017 was conducted. According to the pathogen causing NP, patients were divided into two groups, BNP and MPNP, and the clinical manifestations, laboratory data, imaging findings, hospital course and prognosis between these groups were analyzed. Results: This study enrolled 19 boys and 33 girls, and the median ages of patients were 4.4 (0.1-13.8) years old. Of the totally of 52 NP patients, 19 were in the BNP group (9 boys and 10 girls), 33 were in the MPNP group (10 boys and 23 girls). The mean age of MPNP patients was much older than that of BNP patients (5.2 (2.3-13.2) years vs. 1.8 (0.1-13.8) years, Z=-0.128, P<0.01). The number of patients with tachypnea and pleural effusion septation were significantly higher in BNP patients than those in MPNP patients (15 cases vs. 4 cases, χ²=23.222, P<0.01; 14 cases vs. 1 case, χ²=29.326, P<0.01), which more needed to oxygentherapy (18 cases vs. 12 cases, χ²=16.833, P<0.01) and undergo chest drainage (9 cases vs. 4 cases, χ²=5.829, P=0.022); while the number of patients required bronchoalveolar lavage was higher in MPNP patients than that in BNP patients (5 cases vs. 32 cases, χ²=29.326, P<0.01). The values of white blood cell (WBC) (23.2 (5.2-67.1)×10⁹/L vs. 9.7 (6.3-18.7)×10⁹/L, Z=-4.855, P<0.01), procalcitonin (PCT) (3.69 (0.23-90.15) mg/L vs. 0.28 (0.02-1.44) mg/L, Z=-3.207, P=0.001), C reactive protein (CRP) (160 (94-220) mg/L vs. 90 (5-134) mg/L, Z=-4.337, P<0.01), interleukin (IL)-10 (11.7 (4.2-401.5) ng/L vs. 4.8 (2.0-23.4) ng/L, Z=-2.278, P=0.023), pleural fluid cell count (5 200 (120-50 000)×10⁶/L vs. 790 (68-6 920)×10⁶/L, Z=-3.125, P=0.002), pleural fluid lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) (3 990 (589-29 382) U/L vs. 2 211 (673-3 993) U/L, Z=-2.488, P=0.013) in BNP group were significantly higher than those in MPNP group; while the values of pleural fluid glucose(0.43 (0.03-18.00) mmol/L vs. 5.95 (4.27-7.87) mmol/L, Z=-2.795, P=0.005), serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (2.3 (1.0-2.8) ng/L vs. 2.6 (1.3-109.2) ng/L, Z=-2.113, P=0.035) and interferon (IFN)-γ (4.8 (2.6-7.7) ng/L vs. 11.9 (2.9-154.6) ng/L, Z=-2.455, P=0.014) were lower in BNP group than those in MPNP group. Meanwhile, the mean time from the onset of symptoms to the discovery of necrotic lesions was longer in MPNP group than that in BNP group ((20.6±6.4) days vs. (14.6±6.2) days, t=3.029, P=0.004). After treatments, all patients were discharged without death, WBC and PCT recovered more quickly in MPNP group than those in BNP group (12 (0-24) days vs. 0 (0-23) days, Z=-4.484, P<0.01; 10 (5-15) days vs. 0 (0-23) days, Z=-3.244, P=0.001). As to prognosis, 34 cases were followed up, and the results showed that patients recovered without surgical intervention, and chest lesions were resolved within 3.0 (1.0-8.0) months, and the time to necrosis disappearance was similar in the BNP group and MPNP greup (3.0 (1.0-8.0) months vs. 3.0 (1.0-8.0) months, Z=-0.128, P=0.001). In receiver operator characteristic curve analysis, the cut-off values for the age, WBC, CRP, PCT, pleural fluid cell count and pleural fluid glucose were set at 2.4 years of age, 17.2×10⁹/L, 157 mg/L, 1.505 mg/L, 2 630×10⁶/L and 3.73 mmol/L, respectively. Conclusions NP is found to be severe and prolonged, yet, reversible through proper therapy, such as rational antibiotics application. The age, WBC, CRP, PCT, pleural fluid cell count and pleural fluid glucose could be used as biomarkers to differentiate MPNP from BNP in children.

Irritable bowel syndrome is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder, among which diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is the main type in China, which is seriously affecting the quality of life for patients. The pathogenesis of IBS-D is still unclear. It has been found that Intestinal flora disorder is an important pathogenesis of IBS-D. There is a close relationship between intestinal flora and IBS-D TCM syndrome types, and there are differences in intestinal flora of different TCM syndrome types of IBS-D. However, TCM syndrome types are a complex and multi-factor combination. Therefore, based on the TCM theory of nature and location of disease, this article proposed the following conclusions through analyzing previous studies on intestinal flora of different TCM syndromes of IBS-D, including that the intestinal flora of different TCM syndromes have different characteristics and there are differences in the functions of flora, deficiency and excess of disease are associated with the diversity and abundance of intestinal flora, cold and heat of disease are related to the proportion of beneficial bacteria and opportunistic pathogens, and the characteristics of intestinal flora are the microcosmic manifestation of the disease position of TCM. In addition, this article also proposed the application of fecal bacteria transplantation based on the theory of nature and location of disease. Based on this theory, the study on intestinal flora of IBS-D can provide help for objectification of TCM syndrome types, and also provide TCM research ideas for revealing the pathogenesis of IBS-D.
