Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of infective endocarditis(IE)by exploring its causes,pathogenic microorganism and clinicsI characteristics.Methods The clinical data of 120 IE patients treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from October 1997 to September 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Of the 120 consecutive cascs diagnosed as IE according to the Duke's new criteria,79 were male and 41 female with a average age of(43.2±16.7)years old.Twelve cases were prosthetic valve endocarditis(PVE)and 108 cases native valve endocarditis(NVE)and there were no previously known heart diseases in 29 of the cases.Seventy-nine of the 108(73.1%)NVE patients had basic cardiac abnormalifies before IE diagnosis,such as congenital cardiovascular disease(30 cases),idiopathic mitral valve prolapse(23 cases)and rheumatic heart disease(11 cases).Fever(100.0%),anemia(54.2%)and embolism(48.3%)were the most common clinical manifestations in the IE development.Of the 83 patients who had a positive blood culture result,Streptococcus vividaus(51.8%)was the most common isolated microorganism.Conclusions Congenital cardiovascular diseases and idiopathic mitral valve prolapse are the two most commonly heart diseases in IE.Blood culture and echocardiogram should always be done to exclude IE,especially presenting with fever of unknown reasons.

Objective To develop a vaccine for Wilm's tumor in order to lay a foundation for effective treatment and substitute for the radiotherapy and chemotherapy of this tumor. Methods DNA fragments encoding the WT1 antigens (including, HLA-A * 2402 and HLA-A * 2402x), and DNA fragments encoding the couple antigens HLA-A * 2402-HBc and HLA-A * 2402x-HBc were cloned and inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(+) in sense orientation and baculovirus expression pFactbac respectively, then transfected into COS-7 cells and Sf 9 cell respectively. The expression of the target proteins in the cells were identified by CPE, SDS-PAGE and electron microscopy. Virus-like particles were observed under electron microscopy. Results The fusion gene of HLA-A * 2402 and HLA-A * 2402x and HBc express virus-like particle protein. Conclusions This preliminary result shows a hopeful future in developing an effective immunotherapy to Wilm's tumor.

Objective To set up a technical platform of reverse genetics based on the 8 plasmid.virus rescue system of cold-adapted influenza virus strain. Methods The cold-adapted, temperature sensitive, live attenuated influenza virus strain A/AnnArbor/6/60(H2N2)was chosen as the master donor virus(MDV)for rescue research,and its six internal gene fragments PB2,PB1,PA,NP,M and NS were artificially synthesized. Meanwhile, five amino acid mutations have been introduced as tags. Six fragments were ligated with modified pAD3000 for the construction of rescue plasmid. Six transcription/expression plasmids(pMDV-A-PB2,pMDV-A-PB1,pMDV-A-PA,pMDV-A-NP,pMDV-A-M,and pMDV-A-NS)were obtained, and their sequences were accurate. Results The reassorted virus named as rMDV-A contains HA and NA gene segments derived from PR8 strain along with six gene segments,PB2,PB1,PA,NP,M and NS,from MDV. The COS-1 cells were co-transfected with eight recombinant plasmids. The results showed that a cold-adapted, attenuated reassortant influenza A virus with hemagglutination activity was rescued successfullv bv"6+2" combination of MDV and PR8, and the allanotoic fluid of the injected eggs gave a posigenes of A/AA/6/60 used as backbone has provided experimental materials for further research on the gene function and novel vaccine candidate of cold-adapted, attenuated human influenza virus.

A cold-adapted (ca), temperature sensitive (ts), live attenuated influenza B virus strain B/Ann Arbor/1/66 was chosen for influenza virus rescue research, in which six internal gene segments, PB1, PB2, PA, NP, M, NS, were fully synthesized and nine amino acid substitutions were artificially alter by human intervention. The resultant B/Ann Arbor/1/66 plasmids were named as pAB121-PB1, pAB122-PB2, pAB123-PA, pAB124-HA, pAB125-NP, pAB126-NA, pAB127-M and pAB128-NS, respectively. A recombinant influenza A virus was previously generated entirely from cloned cDNA. An infectious recombinant influenza B virus was generated here, and designated as rMDV-B, by plasmid-based reverse genetics. The rMDV-B virus contained HA and NA genes from an epidemic influenza B vires strain B/Malaysia/2506/2004 in the background of internal genes derived from influenza B virus strain B/Ann Arbor/1/66. HA titer of rMDV-B in MDCK cells and embryonated chicken eggs ranged from 1 : 64 to 1 : 512. The results may allow an effective live influenza B vaccine to be produced from a single master strain, providing a model for the design of future live human influenza vaccines.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and outcome of patients with human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) viral encephalitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods:The clinical manifestations, laboratory characteristics, diagnosis and treatment process and outcome of 3 patients with HHV-7 viral encephalitis after allo-HSCT in Hebei Yanda Lu Daopei Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The clinical features of 3 patients with HHV-7 viral encephalitis after allo-HSCT included fever, headache, vomiting, apathy, etc., without specific symptoms or signs. The conventional white blood cell count in the cerebrospinal fluid was normal or slightly higher, mainly lymphocytes, and the cerebrospinal fluid protein was normal or slightly higher. The HHV-7 virus DNA in cerebrospinal fluid was positive, and the treatment with ganciclovir or foscarnet was effective. The prognosis was favorable in two mild cases, but one case with cerebral hemorrhage died eventually.Conclusions:HHV-7 viral encephalitis is a rare infection after allo-HSCT, and it can be easily misdiagnosed due to lack of typical symptoms and indications for routine laboratory tests. The detection of HHV-7 DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid can help confirm the diagnosis. Currently, there is no standard treatment programs, but ganciclovir and foscarnet are effective.

Objective To detect the expressions of Matrix Metalloprotein-11 ( MMP-11 ) and Cathepsin-D(Cath-D),and investigate their relationship and prognostic significance. Methods The study included 95 cases′ clinical date and postoperative specimens of gastric adenocarcinoma ( North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital,2010. 01-2013. 12) as observation group,70 cases of normal gastric tissue(from observation group) as control group. Expressions of MMP-11 and Cath-D were detected by IHC methods in two groups. Results The positive rate of MMP-11 was 51. 6%( 49/95) in observation group,5. 7%(4/70)in control group(χ2=38. 884,P<0. 05). The positive rate of Cath-D was 73. 7%(70/95) in observation group,28. 6%(20/70) in control group(χ2=33. 082,P<0. 05). The positive rate of MMP-11 was correlated with metastasis and vascular invasion(χ2=7. 193、15. 566,P<0. 05). The positive rate of Cath-D was correlated with maximal diameter,lymph node metastasis,vascular invasion and proliferation index(χ2=7.431、5.654、6.569、6.801,P<0.05).There was positive relationship between MMP-11 and Cath-D in observation group(r=0. 46,P<0. 05). The expressions of MMP-11 and Cath-D were correlated with prognosis in gastric adenocarcinoma ( P<0. 05) . Conclusion The higher expressions and synergistic effect of MMP-11 and Cath-D may promote the occurrence and development in gastric adenocarcinoma. The joint detection of MMP-11 and Cath-D may be helpful to predict the prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma.
