Objective To understand the characteristics of molecular epidemiology of enterovirus 71(EV71) in children with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Shanghai area during the first half year of 2009. Methods Seventy-three throat swabs and 38 stool samples were collected from 95 hospitalized children with clinical diagnosis of HFMD in Children's Hospital of Fudan University during April to May 2009. TaqMan real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and nest RT-PCR were used to detect EV71 VP1, followed by gene sequencing analysis. Results Six of the 73 throat swabs were EV71 positive with the detection rate of 8.2%. In the 38 stool samples, 24 were EV71 positive with the detection rate of 63.2%. Twenty-eight nested RT-PCR positive samples were sequenced and the genetic analysis showed that 27 were C4 subtype,which were absolute dominant strain and the other one was C2 subtype. The isolated strain from a fatal case was C4 subtype and there was no obvious mutation found in VP1 region. Conclusions EV71 is an important pathogen in HFMD children in Shanghai area during April to May 2009. C4 subtype strains are absolutely dominant, and accompanied by epidemic strains of subtype C2.

Objective To study the biological effects of dose radiotherapy for primary liver cancer patients with stereotactic body portion.Methods 80 patients with primary liver cancer were selected.According to a random number table method, all patients were divided into observation group and control group,40 patients in each group.All patients were treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy treatment, the observation group was treated with high dose, while the control group received low-dose.The radiotherapy effects of different doses were analyzed and compared.Results After treatment, the effective rate of the observation group was 77.5%,which of the control group was 55.0%, ,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (x2=4.528,P=0.033).After treatment for 6 months,1 year and 2 years, the survival rates of the observation group were 77.5%,75.0%,72.5%, which were significantly higher than 55.5%,52.5%,50.0% of the control group (P<0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions of the observation group was 42.5%, which was significantly lower than 72.5% of the control group (x2=7.365,P=0.006).Conclusion Stereotactic body radiotherapy treatment with different therapeutic dose has different treatment efficacy, high-dose SBRT treatment has significantly higher efficacy, survival rate and lower adverse reactions, which is worthy of clinical application.

A series of isoindoline derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their double inhibitory activities. All of them were new compounds, and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and HR-MS. Preliminary in vitro pharmacological tests showed that all compounds exhibited 5-HT or NE reuptake inhibition activity. Among the tested compounds, compound I-3 exhibited potent inhibitory activity against 5-HT and NE reuptake in vitro, and exhibited potent antidepressant activity in vivo. These compounds designed can be further optimized for finding more potent 5-HT/NE dual reuptake inhibitors and antidepressant candidates as well.

Objective To explore the treatment of children with EB virus infection accompanied by facial paralysis. Method The clinical data of a child with EB virus infection accompanied by facial paralysis was analyzed retrospectively, and the related literature were reviewed. Results A 2-year-old boy was admitted to hospital due to fever and mouth askew for 4 days. After admission, he was confirmed to have EB virus infection and viremia by serology and polymerase chain reaction, and then treated with acyclovir. The symptoms of facial paralysis and EB viremia disappeared completely 14 days after antiviral treatment. There was no recurrence in the short-term follow-up. Interestingly, the literature analysis shows that there is still limited evidence for the antiviral treatment by acyclovir in children with acute infection of EB virus associated with facial paralysis. Conclusion Antiviral treatment may be beneficial to EB viremia with facial paralysis.
