ObjectiveTo develop a cell culture system with consistent expression of whole hepatitis C virus (HCV) gene and Renilla luciferase gene and to facilitate the study on HCV pathogenesis and the screening of new antiviral drugs.MethodsRenilla luciferase (RLuc) reporter gene and a mutation that could yield higher virus gene expression were introduced into the C-terminus of non-structural protein 5A (NS5A) of the JFH1 viral genome by using recombinant PCR.The viral RNA was transfected into Huh7.5 cells.Naǐve Huh7.5 cells were infected by the supernatant from the viral RNA transfected cells.HCV replication and infection were determined by virus titration,Renilla luciferase assay,immunofluorescence assay and western blotting.IFN-α was used to evaluate the feasibility of this system for anti-HCV new drug screening.ResultsThe viral RNA replicated efficiently in transfected cells.These cells could produce high titer of HCV-Rluc reporter virus and the virus titer reached to 1.5 × 104 FFU/ml at day 15 of posttransfection.The activity of Renilla luciferase was inhibited by IFN-α in a dose dependent manner in Huh7.5 cells infected by HCV-Rluc reporter virus.ConclusionThe recombinant HCV-JFH1-Rluc reporter gene system is sensitive and efficient.It can be a useful tool for high throughput screening of anti-HCV drugs.

Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA-548ah (miR-548ah) and microRNA-4804 (miR-4804) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection and their clinical significance.Methods PBMCs were collected from 29 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB),30 hepatitis B virus carriers (HBVC),26 inactive HBsAg carriers (IASC) and 28 healthy controls in Taizhou People's Hospital during September 2012 and August 2013.Expressions of miR-548ah and miR-4804 in PBMCs were detected by fluorescence real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR).Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the expression of miR-548ah and miR-4804 in distinguishing immune tolerance phase and clearance phase of HBV infection.Pearson correlation analysis was performed to assess the correlations of miRNAs expression with clinical markers alanine aminotrans ferase (ALT) and HBV DNA loads.Results There were significant differences in expressions of miR-548ah and miR-4804 in PBMCs between CHB,HBVC,IASC groups and control group (F =28.16 and 83.17,P ＜ 0.01).Compared with control group,miR-548ah was up-regulated in CHB group(P ＜ 0.01),and down-regulated in HBVC and IASC groups (P ＜ 0.01) ; miR-4804 was up-regulated in CHB group (P ＜ 0.01),down-regulated in HBVC group (P ＜ 0.01),while there was no significant difference between IASC group and control group in miR-4804 expressions(P ＞ 0.05).The areas under ROC curve (AUCs) of miR-548ah and miR4804 in differentiation of immune tolerance and immune clearance were 0.966 and 0.997,and the sensitivities and specificities were 89.7％,96.6％ and 99.6％,100.0％,respectively.No significant correlation was found between the expression of miR-548ah,miR-4804 and ALT,HBV DNA loads (r=0.14,0.18,-0.20 and-0.19,P＞0.05).Conclusion miR-548ah and miR-4804 may be involved in the immunopathogenesis of CHB,and their expression levels in PBMCs are helpful in differentiation of immune tolerance and immune clearance in HBV infection.

The patients' needs-oriented staged care protocol can effectively improve the self-care ability of colostomy patients and provide an effective path for clinical nursing work.

With the popularization and application of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) , the problem of medical adhesive-related skin injury around the catheter has become increasingly prominent. Medical adhesive-related skin injuries not only cause pain, but severe cases may also cause unplanned extubation, affecting the quality of life of patients, and increasing the cost of catheter maintenance. This article reviewed the risk factors and prevention and control measures of medical adhesive-related skin injury around PICC catheters, so as to provide a basis for clinical identification and prevention of such skin injuries.

Objective To determine the predictive factors for antiviral therapy in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection [HBeAg(-) CHBI] patients with HBV DNA＜4.3 lg IU/mL.Methods A total of 179 HBeAg (-) CHBI patients were retrospective analyzed.Histology activity index (HAI) and fibrosis (S) were scored according to the Knodell HAI scoring system,and HAI＞3 and/or S≥3 was adopted as indications for treatment.Univariate and multiple regression analysis were used to assess factors associated with treatment indications.Receiver operating curves (ROC) and area under curve (AUC) were used to determine the predictive value of relevant factors.Results There were 81 cases with HAI＞3 (45.3％) and 72 with S≥3 (40.22％),and the proportion of patients with indications for treatment was 54.7 ％.Multiple regression analysis showed that age,γ-glutamyl transpeptadase (γ-GT),platelet (PLT) and albumin (Alb) were the predictive factors for the severity of liver damage and indication for treatment (all P＜0.05).The AUC for age,PLT,γ-GT and Alb were 0.655,0.657,0.726 and 0.65,respectively,and the corresponding Yoden index for age,PLT,γ-GT,and Alb were 0.297,0.426,0.03 and 0.012,respectively,the sensitivities of predicting HBeAg (-CHBI for treatment indications were 0.643,0.842,0.705 and 0.653,respectively.Conclusions This study shows that 54.7％ of HBeAg(-)CHBI patients with HBV DNA＜4.3 lg IU/ml have significant liver histological changes and require antiviral treatment.Older age,higher γ-GT,lower PLT and lower Alb levels are the predictive factors for treatment.
