The region of about 4.0 kb upstream of Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpltNPV) chiA gene was sequenced, in which six open reading frames(ORF1～6) were found. These ORFs are 156, 297, 540, 369, 1281, and 228 nucleotides long, encoding the proteins of 51, 98, 179, 122, 426, and 75 amino acids with the molecular weight of 6.15 kD, 11.46 kD, 21.70 kD, 14.69 kD, 47.59 kD, and 9.09 kD respectively. One early promoter motif CAGT in ORF1 and ORF3, two early promoter motifs CAGT in ORF2, one late promoter motif TAAG in ORF4 and two late promoter motifs TAAG in ORF5 were found in 5′noncoding regions of these ORFs. The polyadenylation signals, AATAAA, are located downstream of the translation stop codon of ORF1, ORF4 and ORF5. ORF4 is the homologous gene of AcMNPV ORF53, BmNPV ORF42, OpMNPV ORF56 and LdMNPV ORF54. Compared with all genes from baculoviruses, ORF1, ORF2 and ORF6 have no homologous genes. It is suggested that ORF1, ORF2 and ORF6 may be three novel baculovirus genes.

Objective To detect the changes in the expression of discoidin domain receptor 2(DDR2)and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 in different stages of cartilage and synovium damage of osteoarthritis rats.The relation between DDR2 and the degree of cartilage damage was explored.Methods Modified papain knee joint injection approach was adopted to establish animal model of OA.The expression and distribution of protein of DDR2 and MMP-13 were checked in articular cartilage and synovium at different stages of OA.Results The expressions of DDR2 in articular cartilage and synovium of experimental groups were different from those of the normal group (P＜0.01).They were higher in cartilage than those in the corresponding synovium.The expressions of MMP-13 demonstrated the same characteristics with those of DDR2,r=0.93(P＜0.01).Conclusions The important role of DDR2-MMP-13 in cartilage damage has been proven in the pathogenic process of OA.The upregulated expressions of DDR2 in articular cartilage and synovium have a detrimental effect on cartilage degeneration.

The curative effect was observed when teeth extracted.ResultsThe effective rate of the experiment group was 95.2%, that of control group was 82.2%. There was a significant difference between two groups (P<0.05).ConclusionOrnidazol has an obvious effect on acute PWT.

Objective To study the outcomes of autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation for Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) with large subchondral cyst.Methods The data of 27 consecutive patients of OLT with subchondral cyst was retrospectively analyzed who were treated by autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation from October 2007 to September 2011.There were 26 males and 1 female with an average age of 35.8 years (range,22-53 years).Visual analogue score (VAS) for pain during daily activities,the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle and hindfoot score,and subjective satisfaction were investigated.The plain radiographs,magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the ankle,and second look arthroscopy were analyzed.Results All the 26 patients were followed up for 22.4 months.At the last follow-up,the VAS score decreased from 5.4±1.0 points preoperatively to 0.8±0.8 points postoperatively,and the mean (50％) AOFAS score improved from 73.9±3.1 points preoperatively to 93.0±6.5 points postoperatively.In 26 cases,the radiolucent area of cysts disappeared on plain radiographs.The mean magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) score was 57.2,though small subchondral bone cyst was still found in 3 cases on postoperative MRI.The mean (50％) ICRS arthroscopic score of cartilage repair was 9.2 points according to second look arthroscopy of 18 cases.There were 16 cases receiving excellent effect,8 good and 2 fair.The excellent and good rate was 92.3％ (24/26).There were no major complications.Conclusion Autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation could repair the osteochondral defects.It yields satisfactory results,and is suitable for treating OLT with large subchondral cyst.

Two highly conserved and with abundant quantity of lipoproteins in outer membrane of pathogenic species,but not in saprophytic species of leptospira ,LipL32 and LipL21,were selected to construct the fusion gene DNA vaccine pVAX1/LipL21-LipL32,and its ability to induce immune responses in BALB/c mice inoculated with this recombinant DNA vaccine was investigated in the present study.Expression of the fusion-protein LiPL21-LiPL32 was demonstrated in HEK293 cells following transfection with the fusion gene DNA vaccine and the immune responses induced after intramuscular inoculation with this DNA vaccine in BALB/c mice was then evaluated by microscopic agglutination test (MAT),meanwhile the ELISA assay was used to detect the cytokines induced.It was demonstrated that significant level of specific antibodies agglutinating antigens of Leptospira interrogans could be detected by MAT after DNA vaccine inoculation.The production of cytokines IL-10 and TNF-β in mice inoculated with DNA vaccine pVAX1/LipL21-LipL32 was significantly increased in comparison with that of the group inoculated with pVAX1 alone.These results indicate that the recombinant DNA vaccine pVAX1/LipL21-LipL32 may be of potential value to design and develop new generation of vaccines against leptospirosis.

Background To maintain corneal transparency is important for good visual function.A new treatment concept and the selection of surgical techniques and timing of surgery are critical for stopping the infringement of cornea tissue after alkali burning and other chemical warfare agents.Objective This study was to investigative the ultrastructure and histopathological status following the femtosecond laser-assisted deep lamellar keratoplasty (DLK) for acute alkali burn of cornea.Methods Acute corneal alkali burn models were established in 12 New Zealand rabbits by putting the 6 mm filter paper with 1 mol/L NaOH at the central cornea for 30 seconds.The rabbits were randomly allocated to femtosecond laser-assisted DLK group and model control group according to the randomized number table method.Femtosecond laser-assisted DLK was performed to transplant the corneal grafts of domestic rabbits to the model rabbits 24 hours after burning.The rabbits were sacrificed 1 week,2 weeks and 4 weeks after modeling,and the corneas were extracted for the preparation of corneal section.The cornea were performed with hematoxylin and eosin staining to assess the histopathological status under the optical microscope,and the ultrastructure of grafts and corneas was examined under the transmission electron microscope (TEM).Results Acute corneal alkali bourn models were successfully eatablished.In the fourth week after surgery,corneal graft was clear in the femtosecond laser-assisted DLK group.However,corneal swelling,conjunctival congestion and neovascularization were found in the model control group.Histopathological examination revealed the defect of corneal epithelium,edema of stroma,loose arrangement of collagen fibers,much vacuoles,few neovascularization and infiltration of a large number of inflammatory cells in the model control group,but in the femtosecond laser-assisted DLK group,the inflammatory response was slight.More desmosomes among the endothelial cells were seen,and the nuclei were intact in the grafts.In the fourth week after surgery,the transplanted corneas were transparent with the regular arrangement of collagen fibers and entire fibroblasts in the femtosecond laser-assisted DLK group under the TEM.However,flat surface corneal epithelial cells and shedding of some epithelial cells were exhibited in the modelcontrol group.Conclusions Femtosecond laser-assisted DLK can effectively alleviate the inflammatory response,promote epithelial healing and enhance intercellular tight junction in the cornea with acute alkali burn.

Objective To investigate the survival status and pathogens in adult patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) for the past ten years in our hospital. Methods A total of 159 adult patients with SCAP were enrolled for this study from January 2007 to December 2016 in our hospital. Patients were divided into early stage group (from January 2007 to December 2011, n=71) and late stage group (from January 2012 to December 2016, n=88). The clinical data, pathogen distribution and prognosis were compared between two groups. Results (1) The proportion of patients with blood urea nitrogen (BUN) > 7.1 mmol/L was significantly higher in late stage group than that of early stage group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in baseline data, vital signs, imaging findings and other laboratory examinations between the two groups (P>0.05). (2) For distribution of pathogens, 42 and 49 cases were detected pathogens in early stage group and late stage group. The detection rate of Legionella pneumophila was significantly higher in late stage group than that in early stage group (26.5% vs. 7.1%, P<0.05). (3) For complications, the incidence of septic shock was significantly higher in late stage group than that in the early stage group (22.7%vs. 9.9%, P<0.05). The fatality rate within 30 d after admission was significantly higher in late stage group than that of early stage group (43.2%vs. 25.4%, P<0.05). Results of multi-factor Cox proportional hazard regression analysis showed that septic shock and respiratory acidosis were independent risk factors of mortality in early stage group (P<0.05) while septic shock, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and multi-lobar infiltrates were independent risk factors of mortality in late stage group ( P<0.05). Conclusion In the past ten years, basic clinical characteristics of adult patients with SCAP in our hospital have changed little, but detection rate of legionella has showed increasing trend, and the short-term mortality rate has increased. Whether or not patients are combined with septic shock is a key factor affecting the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the comprehensive prevention strategy in the prevention of oral mucositis (OM) during allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Methods A total of 721 patients who received HSCT from January 2010 to December 2011 at the Institute of Hematology, Peking University were enrolled. All the patients received the comprehensive prevention strategy of OM. Results A total of 315 patients (43.7 percents) suffered from OM during HSCT, the median time from HSCT to OM occurrence was 5 days. There were 173 (54.9 percents), 91(28.9 percents), 37(11.7 percents), and 14(4.4 percents) patients suffered from gradeⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, and IV OM, respectively. Tongue OM was most common. A total of 111 patients suffered from multiple OM (≥2 locations). Multiplicity showed that duration of agranulocytosis≥15 days was the only independent risk factor of OM in HSCT [ hazard ratio (HR) value 1.5, P<0.05 ]. Neutrophil engraftment time≥12 days was significantly associated with prolonged OM (≥8 days) (HR=2.1, P<0.05). Patient age ≥20 was independent risk factor for occurrance of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ OM (HR=2.7, P<0.05). Conclusions Comprehensive prevention strategy can overcome the risk factors of OM and prevent the occurrence of OM during HSCT.

Objective To investigate the alterations and phenotypes of dendritic cells, inflamma-tory monocytes and macrophages in immunocompetent mice during Pneumocystis murina ( P.murina) infec-tion for further analysis of the function of these cells during P.murina infection.Methods Wild type male C57BL/6 mice at age 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into two groups including the group with P.murina infection and the group receiving sham surgery.The mice without any intervention were used to set up the blank control group.The loads of P.murina strains in lung tissues of each mouse were quantified by TaqMan real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction after the infection.Histopathological examination was per-formed to evaluate the degree of inflammation in lung tissues.The numbers of dendritic cells, inflammatory monocytes and macrophages in lung tissues, peripheral blood and bone marrow samples, and the changes of inflammatory monocytes in spleen tissues were measured by flow cytometry analysis.The expression of major histocompatability complexⅡ(MHCⅡ), CX3C chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) and CC chemokine re-ceptor 2 ( CCR2 ) by dendritic cells, inflammatory monocytes and macrophages in lung tissues during P.murina infection were analyzed by flow cytometry analysis.All of the data were collected one, two, three and four weeks after the corresponding treatments.Results The loads of P.murina strains in P.murina in-fected mice were elevated after two and three weeks infection, but decline at week 4 (P>0.05).Significant pathological changes including the alveolar destruction, inflammatory cell infiltration and thickened alveolar septum in mice with P.murina infection were observed under a microscope at week 3 and week 4.Compared to the sham surgery treatment group, the number of CD11c+CD11b+dendritic cells were increased in lung tissues, but decreased in blood samples during P.murina infection ( P<0.05) .The levels of inflammatory monocytes in blood samples fell at week 3 and then rose at week 4 during P.murina infection (P<0.05). No significant difference with the change of macrophages in mice was observed during P.murina infection ( P>0.05).The CD11c+CD11b+dendritic cells in lung tissues of mice with P.murina infection expressed high levels of MHCⅡand CX3CR1, and low levels of CCR2.The inflammatory monocytes in lung tissues of mice expressed high levels of CCR2, moderate levels of MHCⅡand low levels of CX3CR1 during P.murina in-fection.High levels of CX3CR1 and low levels of MHCⅡ and CCR2 were observed in macrophages from lung tissues of mice with P.murina infection.Conclusion Highly expressed CD11c+CD11b+dendritic cells and MHCⅡwere detected in lung tissues of mice during P.murina infection, indicating that CD11c+CD11b+dendritic cells were involved in the host defense against P.murina infection.
