Objective To study the expression of osteopontin (OPN) and collagen type Ⅰ in the rat myocardial fibroblasts infected by coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) and to explore the possible pathogenesis of OPN on viral myocarditis.Methods Cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from neonatal rat and cultured with an traditional method.The primary cultured rat myocardial fibroblasts were infected by CVB3 which multiplicity of infection (MOI) was 0.5 PFU/cell.The myocardial fibroblasts were divided into control group 12 h and CVB3 groups (infected after 12 h,1 d,2 d,3 d).The expression of OPN and collagen type Ⅰ were detected by RT-PCR,Western Blotting and immunohistochemistry.And the linear correlation between the expression of OPN and the expression of collagen type Ⅰ was analyzed.Results ( 1 ) The gray scale values of the OPN/β-actin in control group(12 h)and viral groups (12 h,1 d,2 d,3 d) were 0.38 ± 0.06,0.56 ± 0.06,0.72 ± 0.05,0.98 ± 0.06,0.86 ± 0.02 respectively with RT-PCR,and were 0.26 ± 0.03,0.36 ± 0.03,0.52 ± 0.04,0.76 ± 0.05,0.62 ± 0.02 respectively with Western Blotting.The expression of OPN was found to be increased after 12 h infection,reached to the maximum after 2 d infection and displayed a decreased tendency after 3 d infection.There was significant difference on the gray scale values of the OPN/β3-actin ( F=74.965,53.004,respectively,P < 0.05 ).(2) The gray scale values of the collagen type Ⅰ/β-actin in control group (12 h)and viral groups (12 h,1 d,2d,3 d) were 1.12 ± 0.03,1.18 ± 0.01,1.22 ± 0.02,1.33 ± 0.02,1.28 ± 0.03,respectively with RTPCR.These results suggested that the collagen type Ⅰ expression started to increase at 12 h when infected by CVB3,reached to the maximum at 2 d,and then decreased after 3 d infection,the difference was significant ( F =38.241,P < 0.05).(3) The expression of OPN was positively correlated with the expression of collagen type Ⅰ ( r=0.948,P < 0.001 ).Conclusion CVB3 can induce the expression of OPN and collagen type Ⅰ in the rat myocardial fibroblasts and the expression of OPN and collagen type Ⅰ displays positive correlation.It suggests that OPN can promote the expression of collagen type Ⅰ in myocardial fibroblasts,and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of viral myocarditis.
2.The role of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 in febrile seizures
International Journal of Pediatrics 2021;48(11):761-765
Febrile seizure is one of the most common convulsive disease in childhood.Its pathogenesis is not yet clear.Sometimes the patients with febrile seizures may have fever after seizure and some epilepsy syndrome is characterized by febrile convulsions in the early stage, which makes the differential diagnosis particularly important.Studies have shown that cytokines and genes are involved in the pathogenesis of febrile convulsions.There are differences in the levels of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 between febrile seizure and other diseases, and the underlying mechanism varies.This article discusses the research update on the expression of IL-6 and IL-10 in related fields from serum levels, cerebrospinal fluid levels, gene and therapeutic drug innovation, in order to provide ideas for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of oral ginger capsule or ginger powder in chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients.Methods:Computers searched Chinese Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Wanfang Database, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library about oral chemotherapy in patients with cancer ginger correlation clinical curative effect of nausea and vomiting randomized controlled trial, supplemented by other search methods, the time range was built until July 2019. Quality evaluation and data extraction were performed independently by two investigators, and Meta analysis was performed by RevMan5.3 software.Results:A total of 12 articles and 13 studies were included, with a total of 1 105 patients. Meta-analysis showed that oral ginger capsule or ginger powder reduced the incidence of acute vomiting (risk ratio value was 0.76, 95% confidence interval was 0.59-0.98, P<0.05) and the severity of vomiting (mean difference value was-0.79, 95% confidence interval was-1.36--0.23, P<0.01), including the severity of acute vomiting (mean difference value was-1.39, 95% confidence interval was-2.72--0.06, P<0.05) and the severity of delayed vomiting (mean difference value was-0.46, 95% confidence interval was-0.82--0.10, P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence and severity of acute and delayed nausea ( P>0.05). Conclusions:This study demonstrates that oral ginger capsule or ginger powder is a complementary treatment for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients, and more high-quality studies are needed to validate its clinical efficacy in the future.
