Objectives To study the effect of VIM in Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection of (human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC) and elaborating the mechanism of EV71 infection in the nervous system. Methods Knocked out the VIM by CRISPR technology , the differences in EV71 absorption , replication , release between wild VIM and VIM knocked-out (VIM-KO) HBMEC were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results 4 ℃ absorption experiment conformed that EV71 adsorption in VIM- KO is 40% less than in the normal HBMEC. After EV71 infect HBMEC for 48 h (48 h p. i.), the quantitative PCR result showed intracellular viral RNA in VIM-KO was only 1/12 of that in the normal HBMEC. Also the extracellular viral RNA was quantified, and the number of cells in VIM-KO had been reduced 1.4 times compared with the normal HBMEC. Conclusions Once VIM knocking out, EV71 attachment has been obviously reduced. Meanwhile, the level of viral RNA replication and release are decreased compared with the normal HBMEC. VIM may be an attachment receptor of EV71 in HBMEC , when the virus invades HBMEC with the binding of VIM. Moreover , VIM plays an important role in the replication and release of EV71.

Biopsy and ventriculo-peritoneal shunt was performed in 4 patients. Of 17 patients in follow-up, 13 patients survived longer than 5 years. Conclusions: Most tumors in the posterior part of the third ventricle and pineal region can be surgically removed.Sufficient specimen obtained in the operation can confirm pathologic property of the tumor,guiding next chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Objective To study on the expression of the eukaryotic recombinant vector carrying HlyX gene of Leptospira serovar Lai in mammalian cell and explore the humoral immune response in BALB/c mice immunized with the recombinant plasmid. Methods The HlyX gene was amplified from Leptospira serovar Lai genomic DNA by PCR and inserted into pcDNA3.1 vector. After transformed into E. coli DH5α,the recombinant plasmid was assayed for identification by PCR analysis,restriction nuclease enzyme digestion and sequencing. The recombinant plasmid was transfected into COS-7 cells,then RT-PCR and Western blot were performed to test the expression of the target gene. The recombinant plasmid was injected intramuscularly into BALB/c mice for three times at intervals of two weeks,and the antibody titer was measured by ELISA. Results PCR showed the full length HlyX gene was about 1100 bp. PCR analysis,restriction nuclease enzyme digestion and sequencing indicated the recombinant vector was constructed successfully. After the plasmid Was transfected into COS-7 cells,a fragment about 1100 bp was found by RT-PCR and a specific band relative molecular mass(Mr)about 40×103,which was consistent with the expected size of the target proteins was showed by Western blot. ELISA showed the antibody titer in BALB/c mice immunized by the HlyX gene of Leptospira serovar Lai can elicit high-titer antibody in BALB/c mice,which has laid the foundation for the application of the DNA vaccine.

Objective To validate the clinical effect of evidence-based nursing on early rehablilitation of patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing PTCA and intracoronary stenting. Methods 47 patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing PTCA and intracoronary stenting were divided into the nursing group(24 cases)and the control group(23 cases).The nursing group received nursing with evidence-based nursing pattern while the control adopted routine nursing method. The nursing effect in the two groups was compared in the following aspects such as the incidence rate of adverse effect,average hospitalization days, athletic ability and psychological status. Results The incidenece rate of adverse effect Was lower(P＜0.05)and the average hospitalization days were shorter(P＜0.01)than those of the control group with addition of cardiovascular complications(P＞0.05).The athletic ability and psychological status were also superior to those of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Application of evidence-based nursing could hasten the rehabilitative process of patients undergoing PTCA and intracoronary stenting.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of ~1H-MR spectroscopy(~1H-MRS)imaging to quantitatively detect fatty liver.Methods Twenty patients with fatty liver and 11 healthy volunteers underwent plain CT scan,conventional MR imaging and ~1H-MRS analysis.The blood lipid and liver function were tested on the same day as the MR examination.~1H-MRS sequence measured the peaks of H_2O and lipid,and the areas under the peaks.The relative contents of the lipid compound were calculated,and compared with the results of CT scan and liver function tests.Results The CT values of the normal group and the fatty liver group were(59?9)HU and(24?11)HU respectively.On ~1H-MRS a protruding high H_2O peak and a flat low lipid peak were observed in the normal group,while the protruding high H_2O peak and a high lipid peak appeared in the fatty liver group.The values of lipid peak in the normal group and the fatty liver group were(0.05?0.01)?10~5,(0.70?0.24)?10~5 respectively(t=4.32,P0.05),the areas under the lipid peak were(1.36?0.73)?10~9、(2.35?1.15)?10~9 respectively(t=5.21,P0.05).Conclusion ~1 H-MRS imaging is feasible to quantitatively detect liver fat and is a non-invasive method for detecting early fatty liver.

Objective To study the factors influencing epidemiological characteristics and virulence of Enterovirus 71 (EV71) in Guangdong province from 2008 to 2010. Methods RNA was extracted from collected samples or cultured virus , then reversing transcription into cDNA. We amplified full-length EV71-VP1 using poly-merase chain reaction technology , then conducted sequence alignment and established phylogenetic tree with MEGA software (version 5.0) to confirm the genotype of EV71. The association between severity of clinical symp-toms and sex, age, viral genotype and VP1 variation was also analyzed using Logistic regression. Results The genotype of the predominant epidemical strain was C4a in Guangdong from 2008 to 2010. However , this subtype had already differentiated into 4 subgroups (C4a1- C4a4). There was no correlation between clinical syndrome and sex or viral genotype; the severity of symptoms was negatively correlated with age: before 4 years old, varia-tion A289T can easily lead to severe cases, increasing the risk of infection (P<0.05, OR = 2.360, 95%CI:1.163~ 4.659). Conclusion The main epidemical EV71 strain is C4a1 in Guangdong province. The emerging differen-tiation and simultaneous prevalence should merit attention to strengthen relevant surveillance; and the protection of the susceptible population should be reinforced during EV71 prevalence.
