Objective To investigate the effect of cytokines on pancreatic function in patients after acute pancreatitis(AP) and its mechanisms. Methods Fifty-nine patients (mild in 25 and severe in 34) after AP and 20 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Serum levels of cytokines including hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), epidermal growth factor(EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), regeneration protein(Reg)-1 and Reg-4 were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Fasting blood-glucose, insulin, C-peptide and fecal elastase 1 (FE1) were detected for evluation of endocrine and exocrine pancreatic function. The association of pancreatic function with clinical parameters and serum cytokines was analyzed. Results The expression of FE1 was lower in patients [(205.9±18.3) μg/g] after AP in comparison with the controls [(333.9±19.7) μg/g, P<0. 01], but levels of fasting blood-glucose, C-peptide and insulin were higher in patients group (P<0.01). Serum level of HGF was higher in patients with insufficient pancreatic exoerine [(983.76±372.65) pg/ml] than those with normal exocrine function [(263.44±110. 35) pg/ml]. Meanwhile,EGF level was higher in patients with DM after AP [(704.41±190. 37) pg/ml] than those without DM [(360. 03±48.39) pg/mh P<0.05]. There was a negatively correlation between FE1 and HGF (P ＜0. 01). The abnormal fasting blood glucose was correlated with CT grading (P<0. 05).Conclusions The patients after AP develope insufficient exocrine and endocrine function. Serum EGF and HGF may be associated with restoration of pancreatic endocrine and exocrine function.

OBJECTIVETo examine the prevalence and the sequence of the genes of new genotypes of hepatitis G virus (HGV) in Guangxi, China.

METHODSSerum samples were collected from 85 intravenous drug abusers (IVDAs), 80 patients with liver diseases (PLDs) and 50 blood donors (BDs). All sera (n=215) were tested by using EIA for HBsAg, anti-HCV and anti-HIV, and by using nested PCR for HGV RNA. In 62 subjects positive for HGV, HGV RNA was sequenced, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed for analyzing genotypes of HGV.

RESULTSHGV RNA was detected in 85 of 215 serum samples (39.53%). The positivity rates for HBsAg, anti-HCV and anti-HIV were 39.07%, 42.79% and 0, respectively. First, 11 nucleotide sequences were determined and the isolates were grouped into three clusters with HGV. 5 of 11 HGV isolates clustered in a distinct phylogenetic branch (genotype Asia) which was different from the described GBV-C and HGV sequences, suggesting the presence of a new genotype of HGV in this locality. Second, 51 nucleotide sequences were determined and analyzed for their genotypes of HGV, and showed genotype GBV-C (3.23%), genotype HGV 30-65% and new genotype (genotype Asia) 64.51%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONSThere were subgenotypes in 3 genotypes of HGV; The predominant genotypes of HGV were genotype Asia and genotype HGV among IVDAs, PLDs, and BDs patients in Guangxi, China.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of HIV/AIDS infected students in Shandong Province, to provide a basis for the prevention and control of AIDS transmission in the student population. Methods: All 863 HIV/AIDS students cases during 2010-2019 were collected in Shandong Province. Epidemiological characteristics was described and the trends in the 10 years since 2010 was analyzed. Results: These 863 HIV/AIDS students were mainly transmitted through homosexual sex (763 cases, 88.41%), and the samples were mainly from voluntary consultation testing (433 cases, 50.17%). From 2010 to 2019, the proportion of student cases in the total number of cases showed an increasing trend ( χ 2 trend =30.21, P <0.01). Among them, the proportion of homosexual transmission cases increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =6.35, P =0.01), the proportion of cases aged 18-22 years increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =6.10, P =0.01), the proportion of cases with college degree or above increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =4.26, P =0.04). At present, voluntary consultation testing were the main source.There was no significant difference between the years of sample sources ( χ 2 trend =2.97, P =0.09). Conclusion The report number of students in Shandong Province are on the rise in recent years, especially those infected by same sex transmission, mainly with high education background, which calls for targeted strategies and intervention measures.

Objective To investigate the possible presence of radiation brain injury (RBI) in vascular injury and blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage.Methods Seventy 8 weeks old male BALB/C mice were randomly divided into irradiation group and control group;mice in the two groups received whole-brain exposure with a single dose of 10 Gy irradiation or sham irradiation.Tissue samples were taken 1,7,30,90 and 180 days after irradiation (7 mice in each time point per group);HE staining was used to observe the microvascular morphology and density changes;immune-fluorescence staining was used to visualize the differential expressions of factor Ⅷ related antigen (vWF) and zonulaoccludens-1 (ZO-1).Results Micro-vascular disorders began to appear from the first day of irradiation,deteriorating with time extension gradually.After the X-ray irradiation exposure,the protein expressions of vWF and ZO-1 in the irradiation group were significantly decreased as compared with those in the control group 1,7,30,90 and 180 days after irradiation (vWF:23.17±2.93 vs 15.80±2.39,21.25±2.33 vs 11.60±2.3,19.78±2.16 vs 8.20±1.64,17.21±3.31 vs 6.00±2.12 and 16.98±1.92 vs 3.80±2.59;ZO1:26.17±3.31 vs 15.40±1.82,23.20±2.93 vs 12.00±1.58,20.88±2.20 vs 9.10±2.55,18.32±1.87 vs 6.20±1.92 and 17.50±1.91 vs 2.40±1.52,P＜0.05);besides,the decreased expression ofvWF and ZO-1 in the irradiation group showed a time-depended manner,with significant differences between each two time points (P＜0.05).Conclusion X-rays may induce persistent micro-vascular injury and destroyed BBB tight junctions,which may be closely related to the occurrence and development of RBI.
