Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2023;36(12):1455-1464
Objective To investigate the infection effects of different strains(Prototype,Delta,Beta,and Omicron BA. 1)of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)on transgenic mice K18-hACE2 expressing angiotensinconverting enzyme 2(ACE2)by nasal drip.MethodsMice were challenged with each strain of different gradients of doses by nasal drip,which were monitored for body mass and survival daily for 6 d in Beta group and 14 d in the other three groups. The median lethal dose(LD_(50))was calculated by IBM SPSS Statistics 26 analysis software,and the virulence of different SARS-CoV-2 strains were compared by detection of the viral nucleic acid loads of lung,brain and turbinate tissues and the lesion of lung tissues.ResultsBeta strain showed the strongest virulence and the highest lethality,and the lowest dose(1 CCID_(50))was 100% lethal with a LD_(50)less than 1 CCID_(50);The LD_(50) of Delta,Prototype and Omicron BA.1 strains were 0. 52,0. 60 and 52. 92 CCID50respectively. The copy number of viral nucleic acid in lung tissue of mice infected with different strains elevated with the increase of challenge dose,and the copy number of viral nucleic acid in brain tissue of dead mice reached 10~8~ 10~(11) copies/mL. The lung tissues of mice infected with different strains of different doses showed different degrees of pathological damage.ConclusionThe virulence of different SARS-CoV-2 strains in K18-hACE2 mice from high to low were Beta,Delta,Prototype and Omicron BA.1.

4.Value of PET/CT for diagnosis of recurrence and metastasis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma
Journal of Endocrine Surgery 2015;(2):136-139
Objective To analyze the value of PET/CT for diagnosis of recurrence and metastasis of dif-ferentiated thyroid carcinoma ( DTC) .Methods 65 patients with DTC in Thyroid Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Dec .2005 to Jan.2015 were collected.Based on the values of serum thyroglobulin(Tg),the patients were divided into 2 groups.29 cases with positive Tg were the observation group and 36 cases with negative Tg were the control group .All patients underwent PET/CT examination one year after surgery.Patients with positive findings from image studies underwent surgical excision and postoperative pathological diagnosis .Clinical data of the 2 groups were then summarized and discussed .Results There was no significant difference on the general conditions between the 2 groups(P>0.05).Tg values were statistically dif-ferent 6 months and 1 year after surgery between the 2 groups(P<0.05).Tg values of both groups decreased 1 year after surgery, but without statistical difference (P>0.05).9 cases in the observation group and 1 case in the control group had positive findings on image study .All the cases with cervical lymph nodes presented as high uptake of 18 F-FDG.All patients who had positive findings on PET/CT underwent surgical removal of the abnormal lymph nodes which confirmed by pathology as lymph node metastasis .Conclusion PET/CT is very important for diagno-sis of recurrence and metastasis on Tg(Tg>2μg/L)positive,131I Dx-WBS imaging and US negative patients.
6.Femoral head necrosis after severe acute respiratory syndrome:Etiology and treatment
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(30):5525-5530
BACKGROUND:Majority of patients appeared different degrees of hip joint bursitis and gradual y developed into femoral head necrosis in the early rehabilitation process of severe acute respiratory syndrome. OBJECTIVE:To analyze various causes of the severe acute respiratory syndrome sequela, and to review the treatment method of femoral head necrosis. METHODS:The PubMed database, China Journal Ful-text database (CNKI), VIP database and Wanfang database were retrieved by the first author with computer for the related articles from January 1997 to August 2012. The key words of“infectious atypical pneumonia, sequela, femoral head necrosis, bone ischemia, etiology, infectious atypical pneumonia virus, conservative treatment, operation treatment, total hip replacement”in English and Chinese were put in the title and abstract to search articles. A total of 872 articles were screened out after primary retrieval, and eventual y 56 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Severe acute respiratory syndrome sequela, femoral head necrosis, was related with the dose and duration of hormone, patient’s sensitivity to hormone, using method, the secretion of leptin and bone calcitonin, and also infectious atypical pneumonia virus. The femoral head necrosis caused by the above factors can be treated with conservative treatment to slow down the process of femoral head necrosis and delay prosthesis replacement. Eventual y, most of the patients wil receive surgical method. For the treatment of advanced severe acute respiratory syndrome sequelae femoral head necrosis, prosthesis replacement can get the best effect.
7.Research progress of anti-tumor effect of the modified DC vaccines
Journal of International Oncology 2013;(1):21-24
Dendritic cells is the most powerful professional antigen presenting cells in vivo.In recent years,DC vaccine has become one of the research hotspots in tumor treatment.DC vaccine which is modified by varieties of genes can solve antigens dissociation and tumor immune escape and so on caused by the weak tumor cell immunogenicity and lower DC antigen commission ability,and can induce stronger antitumor immune response,which can achieve inhibitory tumor,reduce tumor effect and brings new hope for patients with tumor.

9.Correlation between hematocrit and early neurological deterioration in patients with acute ischemic stroke on admission
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2016;24(12):1068-1072
Objective To investigate the value of early hematocrit (Hct) level in predicting early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods The patients with acute ischemic stroke within 24 h of onset were enrolled prospectively. They were divided into low Hct, normal Hct, and high Hct according to the quantile of the measured Hct. END was defined as an increase of ≥2 of the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score or ≥1 of the motor item score within 5 d after admission compared with the baseline. The vascular risk factors, clinical features, baseline NIHSS score, infarct size, and laboratory test variables were compared between the END group and the non -END group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for END. Results A total of 216 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 128 males (59.26%). Their mean age was 67.40 ±14.12 years. Sixty-two patients (28.70%) experienced END. The normal ranges of Hct in male and female were 40.12%-46.35% and 38.32%-44.17%, respectively. Univariate analysis indicated that there were significantly differences in baseline NIHSS score ( P =0.001), fasting glucose (P =0.030), C reactive protein (CRP) (P =0.041), and the proportions of different Hct levels between the END group and the non-END group (P =0.023). The END incidences in patients with high -level Hct (40.0%) and low –level Hct (35.2%) were significantly higher than that in the normal Hct patients (20 .4%), but there was no significant difference between the high-level and low -level Hct patients ( P = 0.690). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that theigh-level Hct (odds ratio 2.460, 95% confidence interval 1.146-5.283; P =0.021) and the baseline NIHSS score (odds ratio 1.070, 95% confidence interval 1.014-1.129; P = 0.013) were the independent risk factors for END. Conclusion The elevated Hct in patients with acute ischemic stroke are susceptible to END.

Journal of Kunming Medical University 2016;37(6):1-4
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disease, accounting for about 1% of all malignant tumors, is still uncurable, minimal residual disease (MRD) is the reason, therefore, removal of minimal residual disease maybe possible to cure the disease. In a variety of treatment methods, immune gene therapy for multiple myeloma is a hot research topic in recent years, has achieved good results in vitro and in vivo experiments, in this review immune genes therapy in multiple myeloma research would be discussed.
