The challenge of the emergence of drug-resistant influenza strains, which is caused by wide spread utilization of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), accelerates the research and exploration towards host targeted agents. In contrast to DAAs targeting viral replication components, host targeted agents, which regulate host factors and pathways linked to viral replication, can interfere the replication of influenza. Additionally, the innate immune system is activated by influenza during the early stage of infection, so manipulating the innate immune response may prevent the viral infection. However, the excessive inflammatory response induced at the late phase of influenza infection would lead to severe tissue injures. Thus, it is very important to explore drugs with anti-inflammatory actions to suppress these immune imbalances and tissue injures. Here we overview the current progresses about host targets related to anti-influenza drugs.

This study was aimed to construct a lentiviral vector carrying mouse RORγt and glp gene, and to detect the expression of RORγt in the 293FT cells. The RORγt fragment was amplified by RT-PCR from mouse thymus and cloned into PCR 2.1 vector. The RORγt DNA fragment was prepared by digestion and inserted into MigR1 plasmid, then the RORγt-IRES-GFP was directionally linked with lentiviral transfer plasmid pTK208 to generate a lentiviral vector pXZ9-RORγt. The recombinant lentivirus were produced by co-transfected three plasmids into 293FT packing cells using lipofectamine 2000. After transfection, the lentiviral supernatant was collected and concentrated via ultracentrifugation. The 293FT cells were infected by the concentrated lentivirus, GFP expression was examined under a fluorescent microscope and the expression of RORγt protein was detected by Western blot. The results showed that the RORγt fragment was amplified from cDNA of mouse thymus and recombinant lentiviral vector pXZ9-RORγt was constructed successfully. High titer lentivirus were prepared after one round ultracentrifugation. RORγt expression could be detected in 293FT cells after virus infection. It is concluded that the lentiviral vector pXZ9- RORγt containing mouse RORγt-IRES-GFP is successfully constructed; RORγt can express in 293FT cells via lentiviral vector transduction, which provides an optional tool for further research on the mechanism of RORγt controlling Th17 cell differentiation.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the radiological parameters of the conservatively in treating distal radius fracture and investigate whether the final re-displacement can be predicted after primary reduction.
METHODSFrom January 2013 to June 2014,212 patients with distal radial fracture conservatively were treated in our hospital, 107 patients of them were excluded because of their incomplete radiological parameters;the remaining 105 patients were available for radiological were assessed after injury, there were 56 male patients and 49 female patients in this study, the average age of the patients was 51 years old (ranged from 22 to 80 years). According to AO classification, there were 47 cases of type A2 and C1, and 58 cases of type A3, C2, C3. All patients were treated by closed reduction and below-elbow cast immobilization for 4 to 6 weeks. All patients were followed up for 3 to 6 months (means 4.5 months) by X-ray, all fractures were healed. Standard AP and lateral radiographic examination was conducted before reduction and after reduction and bony consolidation,the dorsal angulation and the radial angle were measured at each time point. The linear regression was used for the analysis to find out whether the final re-displacement can be predicted after primary reduction.
RESULTSAmong 105 patients,the significant correlations were found for the dorsal angulation between the reduction time and the end time (r = 0.82) and for the radial angulation between the reduction time and end time (r = 0.85).
CONCLUSIONThe dorsal angulation and the radial angulation after complete healing can be predicted from linear the regression functions. Due to the possibility of predicting the end result, whether the fracture should receive further conservative treatment or surgical treatment can be decided immediately.

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that mild hypothermia therapy can regulate the apoptosis, proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs). OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of mild hypothermia therapy combined with subarachnoid NSCs transplantation on functional recovery from spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. METHODS: The 20 of 110 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly selected as sham group, and the remaining 90 rats were used to make spinal cord injury models using modified Allen's method. After modeling, 80 successful models were randomized into SCI, mild hypothermia, NSCs, and combined groups (n=20 per group). Rats in the mild hypothermia group were placed onto an ice blanket at a temperature of (34.0±0.5) ℃ for 3 days. Rats in the NSCs group were raised at 37 ℃ and implanted with 1×104/L NSCs suspension (1 mL, once a day, for continuous 3 days) into the subarachnoid space at 6 hours after modeling. Rats in the combined group were given the combined treatment of mild hypothermia and NSCs transplantation. Motor functional assessment for the bilateral rat lower limbs was performed based on Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scoring and inclined plate test at 1, 3 days and 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks after modeling. At 4 weeks after modeling, pathological detection by hematoxylin-eosin staining was done; RT-PCR was used to detect expression of Caspase-3, BCL-2 and Syn around the injured region; and electrophysiological recovery of the nerves was assessed based on somatosensory and motor evoked potentials. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Lower limb motor function of the rats was improved after NSCs transplantation, mild hypothermia therapy or their combined use, especially in the combined group. (2) At 4 weeks after modeling, there was significant reduced Caspase-3 and significantly increased Bcl-2 and Syn in the combined group compared with the SCI group (both P < 0.05). (3) At 4 weeks after modeling, cystic cavities in the spinal cord formed in the SCI group, became smaller in the NSCs and mild hypothermia groups, and almost disappeared in the combined group. (4) At 4 weeks after modeling, the latency of somatosensory and motor evoked potentials was shortest in the combined group, followed by the NSCs and mild hypothermia groups, and longest in the SCI group. A significant difference was found among groups (P < 0.05). The amplitudes of somatosensory and motor evoked potentials were ranked as follows: combined group > NSCs group and mild hypothermia group > SCI group, and there was also a significant difference among groups (P < 0.05). In summary, the combined use of mild hypothermia and NSCs transplantation via the subarachnoid space can promote synaptic regeneration,reduce Caspase-3 mRNA expression, increase Bcl-2 and Syn mRNA expression, and improve motor and electrophysiological functions of the lower limbs in rats.

Objective To analyze the relationship between glyeated hemoglobin,blood pressure and carotid ar- tery atheroselerosis (AS) in non-diabetic patients.Methods To recruite 300 non-diabetic patients and retrospec tively study the relationship between glycated hemoglobin HbAlc,blood pressure and carotid artery AS.Carotid AS was determined by carotid uhrasound.Carotid AS was defined as intima-media thickness (IMT) of common ca- rotid artery≥0.9 mm,or occurrence of carotid plaque.Results Compared with the carotid AS negative subjects, the carotid AS positive patients had significant higher fasting glucose,2 h glucose,HbAlc and systolic blood pres- sure (SBP) level,without difference in DBP.Higher HbAlc or SBP levels were associated with increased incidence of carotid AS.For patients with similar SBP levels,higher HbAlc was associated with more prevalence of carotid AS.Logistic regression analysis shows HbAlc (OR=4.1,P=0.009) was an independent predictor of carotid AS,after adjusting for sex,BMI,SBP,DBP,LDL-C,HDL-C,hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP),and fasting and 2 h glucose.Conclusion These results suggests that even a slight increase of HbAlc may be independ- ently associated with carotid AS in non-diabetic subjects;and the coexistence of elevated systolic blood pressure syn- ergetically enhance the carotid atherosclerosis.
