Objective To explore the relationship between ULI43 sequence variability and clini-cal disease. Methods UL143 from samples obtained from suspected congenitally human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infected symptomatic infants were PCR amplified and sequenced. Results There were not too much sequence variability of UL143 compared with Toledo. But no one was completely identical to Toledo, and all UL143 ORFs were shorter than Toledo for frame-shift. Conclusion HCMV-UL143 existed in moat of low passage isolates and sequences were variable. No obvious linkage was observed between UL143 poly-morphisms and outcome of suspected congenital HCMV infection.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard for the treatment of gallstones and chronic cholecystitis.A patient with gallstone was admitted to the 88th Hospital of PLA in August 2012 and received laparoscopic cholecystectomy.She had bile leakage after operation,and had to accept reoperation.Pancreaticobiliary maljunction and aberrant duct upon gallbladder bed were found postoperatively by T-tube cholangiography and pancreatic amylase test in the bile,which led to a complicated treatment and a tortuous recovery.This article analyzed the treatment process for this disease and explore the proper diagnosis and treatment.

Objective: Fetal monitoring is extremely important in perinatal care. Analysis of cardiotocogragh(CTG) can suppose if the fetus is lack of oxygen, distressed, acidosis, etc. in order to take measures timely. Methods: We have designed Meticare analysis software package to analyze 867 pieces of CTG data, and researched the relationship between short term variation (STV) and basal heart rate(BHR) by statistics, and short time monitoring analysis based on STV. Results: The amplitude of fetal heart rate curve variation(long term variation) tended to decrease when BHR increasing, with the negative correlation and regression equation STV = 9.866-0.02×BHR. Positive correlation exists between 5 and 10 mimute-STV, with the regression equation STV_(10min)=2.861-0.596×STV_(5min).Conclusion: STV calculated by 5 minutes CTG data can forecast the one by 10 minutes data as a reference demanded by Dawes & Redman criterion. If fetal doppler contains STV analysis function, out-patient fetal heart auscultation will be more significant. After 30 weeks pregnancy, with the STV decreasing, fetal distress, asphyxia, low birth weight, and even mortality increasing. BHR increasing should cause attention that STV might decrease, when monitoring with no analysis functional devices or fetal dopplars.

ObjectlveTo evaluate the role of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2 receptor) in microglial injury induced by glutamate.MethodsMicroglia cells were randomly divided into 4 grups:control group (group C),microglial injury group ( group Ⅰ),specific CB2 receptor agonist AM 1241 group ( group AM1241 ) and specific CB2 receptor antagonist AM630 group (group AM630).In group C,the cells were cultured routinely for 26 h.In group Ⅰ,the cells were incubated in the culture medium containing glutamate 10 mmol/L for 24 h.In group AM1241,the cells were incubated in the culture medium containing AM1241 2 μmol/L for 2 h,and then in the culture medium containing glutamate 10 mmol/L for 24 h.In group AM630,the cells were incubated in the culture medium containing AM630 2 μmol/L for 2 h,and then in the culture medium containing glutamate 10 mmol/L for 24 h.The cell viability and release of LDH were measured.Microglial morphology was observed under microscope.Results Compared with group C,the cell viability was significantly decreased,and the release of LDH was significantly increased in groups Ⅰ,AM1241 and AM630 (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group Ⅰ,the cell viability was significantly increased,and the release of LDH was significantly decreased in group AM1241 ( P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the cell viability and the release of LDH between groups 1 and AM630 ( P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Glutamate induces microglial injury through inhibiting the function of CB2 receptor.

Objective To identify the peptide that have strong ability binding to HCMV-UL149 encoded protein,and to analyze the characteristics of the amino acid sequence of UL149-binding peptides.Methods Expressed UL149 proteins of three genotypes were used to screen the binding peptide in the random peptide display library,then the encoding sequence of binding peptides in the selected clones were sequenced.The amino acid sequences of the binding peptides were analyzed for their homology,and were com pared with those of the known protein in protein banks.Results The homologous amino acid sequence W/A/F/V-D/E-D/E-G-W/F/I/L were found within the binding peptides selected by proteins of all the three UL149 genotypes proteins,and no difference between three groups was found.The alignment with amino acid sequences of the known proteins in protein banks showed that the binding peptides of UL149 putative protein have homologous amino acid sequences with immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region(IgHV),the serine/threonine protein kinases,compliment factor H,zinc finger protein,MHC Ⅰ molecule,eukaryotic translation initiation factor,nuclear factor and so on.Conclusion The UL149 encoding proteins have binding ability to proteins mentioned above,and might interfere with the immunity responds to HCMV infection through multiple mechanisms.

Objective To investigate the predisposing factors and clinical features of disseminated herpes zoster, and to explore factors influencing postherpetic neuralgia. Methods Clinical data were collected from 53 patients with disseminated herpes zoster and 809 patients with common herpes zoster between 2012 and 2015, and analyzed retrospectively. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors influencing the occurrence of and pain intensity in disseminated herpes zoster, as well as the occurrence of postherpetic neuralgia. Results No significant difference in patients′age was observed between the disseminated and common herpes zoster groups(56.66 ± 17.24 vs. 56.50 ± 15.51 years, t=0.071, P>0.05), but there was a significant difference in the gender ratio between the two groups(χ2 = 8.16, P = 0.004). The incidence rates of bullae, pustules and fever were all significantly higher in the disseminated herpes zoster group than in the common herpes zoster group(15.09%vs. 3.58%,χ2=16.04, P<0.01;47.17%vs. 26.82%,χ2=10.20, P<0.01;30.19%vs. 8.03%,χ2=28.68, P<0.01). The disseminated herpes zoster group also showed significantly higher pain scores at admission compared with the common herpes zoster group (Median[P25- P75]: 6[4- 7.5] vs. 5[3- 7], Z =-3.460, P = 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender, age, fatigue and HIV infection were significantly associated with the occurrence of disseminated herpes zoster (all P<0.05). Additionally, HIV infection(OR=5.570, 95%CI:1.196-25.939, P=0.029), gender(OR=0.166, 95%CI:0.029-0.945, P=0.043), age(OR=1.064, 95%CI:1.010-1.119, P=0.019)and the number of days that antiviral therapy lasted(OR=0.669, 95%CI:0.505-0.885, P=0.005)were all factors influencing the occurrence of postherpetic neuralgia. Conclusion Male, old age, fatigue and especially HIV infection are risk factors for the occurrence of disseminated herpes zoster, and male, old age and antiviral therapy duration may be associated with the occurrence of postherpetic neuralgia.

Objective To investigate the eftect of radiation dose of dual-source computed tomography (CT) dual energy single-phase enhanced scan in patients with esophageal cancer.Methods The prospective study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 56 patients with esophageal cancer who were admitted to the Lishui Hospital of Zhejiang University between January 2015 and December 2016 were collected.All the patients were divided into the experimental group (undergoing dual-source CT dual energy single-phase enhanced scan) and control group (undergoing dual-phase CT enhanced scan) bv randomised block method.TNM classification of esophageal cancer (Seventh Edition) published by American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) was used as a standard TNM staging.Two observers independently read films.All the patients underwent radical resection of esophageal cancer or palliative surgery,and then received adjuvant radiochemotherapy.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative survival of patients up to March 2017.Observation indicators:(1) consistencies of T staging,N staging and M staging;(2) accuracies of T staging,N staging and M staging (pathological results as a gold standard);(3) radiation dose of CT scan;(4) treatment and follow-up situations.The Kappa test was used for evaluating the consistency,κ≥0.75 as a good consistency,0.40≤κ＜0.75 as a normal consistency and κ＜0.40 as a poor consistency.Comparisons of count data and ratio were done by the chi-square test.Comparisons of measurement data were analyzed by the t test.Results A total of 50 patients were enrolled in the study,including 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group.(1) Consistencies of T staging,N staging and M staging:all the 50 patients finished successfully CT scans.Two observers considered that consistencies of T staging,N staging and M staging in the 2 groups were normal (κ =0.452,0.618,0.729,P＜0.05).Consistencies of N staging and M staging were superior to T staging.(2) The pathological results were used as a gold standard.Accuracies of T staging,N staging and M staging in the experimental and control groups were 72％,76％ and 88％,84％ and 92％,88％,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =0.10,0.37,0.50,P＞0.05).(3) Radiation dose of CT scan:volume CT dose index (CTDIvol),dose length production (DLP) and effective radiation dose (E) were (10.35±2.01) mGy,(400.63± 34.13) mGy · cm,(5.61 ± 0.47) mSv in the experimental group and (3.55 ± 0.60)mGy,(140.66± 10.89) mGy · cm,(1.98±0.17) mSv in the control group,respectively.There were statistically significant differences in CTDIvol and E between the 2 groups (t =16.23,36.30,P＜0.05).(4) Treatment and follow-up situations:of 50 patients,43 patients received treatments,including 32 undergoing radical resection (11 receiving postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy),6 undergoing palliative surgery,3 receiving single radiotherapy and 2 receiving single chemotherapy.Thirty-six of 43 patients were followed up for 3-18 months,with a median time of 6 months.During follow-up,1-year survival rate was 61.1％.Conclusion Dual-source CT dual energy single-phase enhanced scan in patients with esophageal cancer cannot reduce accuracy of TNM staging,but decreased effectively radiation dose.

OBJECTIVETo investigate magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) manifestations of perianal abscess and to evaluate MRI diagnosis for perianal abscess.

METHODSFifty cases of perianal abscess between July 2007 and March 2009 were included in this study. MRI was performed using T1 weighted sequence in axial plane, T2 weighted sequence with fat saturation in axial, coronal and/or sagittal plane, and T1 weighted enhanced sequence with fat saturation in axial, coronal and/or sagittal plane. The location, size, shape, signal characteristics, and enhancement patterns of perianal abscess were analyzed.

RESULTSFifty cases with 51 perianal abscesses were identified. The abscess appeared slight hypo- or isointense signal on T1 weighted imaging, obviously hyperintense signal at cavity and isointense signal at wall on T2 weighted with fat saturation imaging, and marked enhancement at wall. The largest diameters ranged between 0.5 cm and 9.0 cm (mean 3.4±1.7 cm ) in abscess, between 0.2 cm and 8.0 cm(mean 2.7±1.7 cm) in cavity. The abscess was round, oblong and crescent in 23, 18 and 7 cases respectively, and was unilocular in 41 cases and multilocular in 10 cases. The abscess located between levator ani and intersphincteric groove in 23 cases, under intersphincteric groove in 3 cases, across levator ani and intersphincteric groove in one case, on levator ani in 7 cases, on intersphincteric groove in 16 cases and above levator ani in one case.

CONCLUSIONMRI is a noninvasive, convenient and highly accurate procedure for diagnosing perianal abscess, which can demonstrate the anatomical relationship between abscess and anal canal.
