Objective To express the unique gene of herpes simplex virus type 2(HSV-2) gG-2(gG-2T) in E.coli BL21,and study preliminarily the lemologic characteristics of gG-2T protein. Methods We cloned the gene of gG-2T and had gG-2T fusion protein expressed in E.coli BL21,and identified its activity by Western blot and indirect ELISA.Results Glycoprotein G-2T fusion protein could combine with GST polyclonal antibody through gG-2T fusion protein expressed in prokaryotic system and SDS-PAGE had a specific binding strap in 46 ku nearby.The gG-2T fusion protein could react with HSV-2 patients' serum,but not with HSV-1 patients' serum and r-Globulin.Conclusion We obtained gG-2T fusion protein,which can combine with GST polyclonal antibody and react with HSV-2 patients' serum specifically.It will provide an experimental basis for diagnostic kit and vaccine of gG-2 protein target area.

Serum levels of CXC chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) and chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) were determined in 50 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1 DM) and 30 normal control subjects by ELISA method.The results showed that serum levels of CXCL10 and CXCR3 in T1DM patients were significantly higher than those in normal subjects [(258.17 ± 39.12 vs 96.47 ± 26.91) ng/L,(851.87 ± 70.04 vs 441.82 ± 72.24) pg/ml,both P<0.05].Serum level of CXCL10 in patients dropped sequentially with durations of diabetes <6 weeks,≥6 weeks or <3 years,and ≥ 3 years,being statistically significant between groups (P<0.05).These results suggest that serum levels of CXC10 and CXCR3 may reflect the immune activity in T1DM.

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic liver inflammation, with a gradually increasing incidence rate, and its social and medical burdens cannot be neglected. Intestinal microecology is becoming a research hotspot in the field of autoimmune disease. In recent years, it has been believed that changes in intestinal microecology can cause changes in autoimmune state, microbial metabolites, and intestinal barrier, which is one of the driving factors for the onset of AIH. Early diagnosis and correct treatment can help to improve the prognosis of AIH patients. This article introduces the characteristics of gut microbiota in AIH patients, elaborates on the impact of intestinal microflora imbalance on the pathogenesis of AIH, and briefly describes related treatment regimens from the perspective of intestinal microecology, so as to comprehensively understand and explain the role of intestinal microecology in AIH and the impact of intestinal microecology balance on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of AIH.

Objective To indentify the cognitive status of Chinese patients to acne and the influencing factors to theirs' cognitive status,so as to provide solid evidences for the prevention and treatment of acne.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was made to conduct this survey of 16,156 acne patients,who seeked to the treatment in the dermatological departments from 112 hospitals in China.The survey consisted of several parts,including the general status of patients,the patients' cognition of occurrence,development and risk factors of acne,whether the first choice was seeking treatment at the hospital when the patients had acne and the condition of selection of skin care products.The factors were analyzed,which could impact the cognition of the patients' behavior of treatment,how did the patients' cognition to influence their medical behavior and skin care as well as the consistency of assessment of the severity of acne by doctors and patients themselves.Results The acne patients studied had the best knowledge of "acne is a skin disease","it not only occurs in the period of adolescence" and "the disease can be prevented and cured",which accordingly accounted for 80.65%,69.16% and 65.49% of the total patients respectively.However,the awareness of acne patients to heredity,high sugar and dairy products as risk factors for acne was insufficient,which accounted for 48.72%,42.40% and 18.25% of the total patients,respectively.Gender,age,educational level,occupation and health knowledge were the main factors affecting the cognitive level of patients;the survey also found that men,patient with educational level of junior high or even lower educational condition,occupation of labor workers or farmers and patients were lack of health education with poor knowledge of the genetics and dietary were risk factors for acne;patients with age over 36 years or with mild illness had poor knowledge of dietary risk factors for acne;the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The analysis of the influence of cognitive status on medical treatment behavior and skin care showed that the better the cognition,the higher the probability of patients would choose medical treatment as the first choice as well as choosing functional skin care products;the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The consistency of assessment of the severity of acne by doctors and patients was poor (Kappa value <0.4),and the assessment of severity of acne by patients was more serious than doctors' assessment.Conclusions Patient's cognitive status will affect their medical behavior and skin care,and there is also a phenomenon that patients have a more serious assessment of their acne condition.It is suggested that health education for acne patients should be strengthened in clinical medicine so as to improve their knowledge of acne as well as preventing from acne effectively.
