The first research on the NS1 protein as the non-structural protein of the type A influenza virus was emphasized on the considering of its depressant effect on the composition of the protein of host cell.And now,with deep research,the evolution of its genes and the antigenicity of its protein have been explained.The NS1 protein of influenza virus has the association with the apoptosis induced by the influenza virus,the regulating function of apoptosis has the direct correlation with possibility of producing interference and the cell line infected by influenza virus.The NS1 protein restrained to producing the interferon by infected cell.The NS1 protein plays an important role on the host anti-viral cytokine responses,it possesses nagitive regulation for interferon's antiviral activity,most observation indicated nagitive regulation might associate with the virulence of influenza virus.Furthermore NS1 protein as an inspection antigen to differentiate and diagnose the poultry which was immunized or naturally infected has a very wide prospect,because the traditional vaccine was used extensively.

Objective To explore the expression of antiapoptotic gene Aven in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and its relationship with clinical features of ALL. Methods Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of Aven mRNA in 55 cases of childhood ALL The control group included 11 childhood patients with no malignant hematological diseases. Results Aven mRNA expression was found to be higher in patients ≥10 years old and was also significantly higher in relapsed patients. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicated that Aven overexpression was an independent poor prognostic factor. Conclusion Aven mRNA expression is abnormal in childhood ALL and is an independent poor prognostic factor.

Objective To investigate the correlation between Framingham stroke risk profile(FSRP) and vascular cognitive impairment in stroke-free patients with cerebrovascular risk factors.Methods One hundred and eighty-four stroke-free subjects,selected from Zhejiang hospital,were divided into low risk group (56 subjects),moderate risk group (70 subjects) and high risk group (58 subjects) according to their FSRP score,and their cognitive function including memory ability,attention,executive function and language ability were assessed by Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA),auditory verbal learning test (AVLT),digit symbol test,trail making test(TMT),digit span and verbal fluency test.Results The total MoCA scores which were (7.2±4.6),(13.8±3.9),(29.6± 12.7) respectively,AVLT-delay recall scores which were(8.2± 1.6),(6.7± 1.4),(5.9± 1.5) respectively,and digit symbol test score which were(34.7±9.3),(32.6± 16.4),(29.7± 13.6) respectively in low,intermediate and high risk groups,decreased with the increasing risk of stroke(P＜0.05).The elapsed time in TMT-B which were (115.2 ±36.9) s,(147.6±44.8) s,(173.9±58.5) s respectively in low,intermediate and high risk groups,prolonged with the increasing risk of stroke (P＜0.05).FSRP was associated with cognitive function,but inversely related to MoCA,AVLT-delay recall,digit symbol test,TMT-B and digit span fall back (P＜0.05),but positively related to consuming time in TMT-B (P＜ 0.05).Multivariate regression analysis showed that advanced age,hypertension,diabetes and smoking were the risk factors for vascular cognitive impairment(P＜0.05).Conclusion Advanced age,smoking,hypertension and diabetes are the most important in vascular risk factors for cognitive impairment.Vascular risk factors can damage cognitive function with the increased risk of stroke,among which delayed recall and executive function are the main affected cognitive area.

Objective:To understand the monitoring levels of individual dose to radiation workers in Jiangsu province from 2011 to 2018, and to analyze their changing trends.Methods:Through National Individual Dose Registry, the data on the monitoring result of occupational external exposure of radiation workers in our province was collected, and statistical analysis was performed.Results:A total of 176 134 radiation workers in Jiangsu province were collected from 2011 to 2018. The annual collective effective dose was 58 man·Sv and the average annual effective dose was 0.35 mSv. The average annual effective doses to medical radiation workers for interventional radiology and nuclear medicine were both 0.41 mSv, with significantly higher NRE ratios than others ( χ2=219.1, P<0.05). By 2018, the numbers of monitored workers were 25 714 for medical radiation, accounting for 81%, with an average annual effective dose of 0.24 mSv, and 6 169 for industrial radiation, accounting for 19%, with an average annual effective dose of 0.18 mSv. Conclusions:The average annual effective dose to radiation workers in Jiangsu province is in consistency with the relevant national standards. The dose values for radiation workers in interventional and nuclear medicine are relatively high. The protection measures in their workplace should be improved. Meanwhile oversight of radiation protection should be enhanced for individual radiation workers in Jiangsu province.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and genetic mutations of spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17).Methods The pathological CAG triplet repeat expansions of the SCA3,SCA1,SCA2,SCA6,SCA7,SCA8,SCA12,SCA17 and dentatorubral pallidoluysian atrophy genes were analyzed in 708 probands of autosomal dominant familial SCA and 1 19 sporadic SCA cases.The CAG repeats of TATA-binding protein (TBP) gene were amplified by means of polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis.For the samples with two alleles,fragment analysis based on CEQ8000 sequencer was applied to analyze the CAG repeat numbers.Furthermore,the correlation between clinical features and CAG repeat in the TBP gene was studied carefully.Results The expanded CAG repeats in the TBP gene was detected in 5 cases with 37/50,36/45,38/52,38/53,36/54 separately.And the main clinical manifestations were ataxia and memory impairment.Conclusion These findings indicate that SCA17 might be a rare subtype of SCA in the Chinese population and the clinical features of SCA17 cover a wider spectrum than previously reviewed.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine-assisted topical anesthesia in patients undergoing bronchoalveolar lavage ( BAL). Methods Twenty-four ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients in ICU, aged 24-64 yr, weighing 50-80 kg, scheduled for BAL, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 12 each) : topical anesthesia group (group A) , topical anesthesia + dexmedetomidine group (group B) . In group A, 0.9% normal saline 5 ml was injected intravenously 30 min before operation, 2% lidocaine 5-10 ml was given via a tracheal tube or cannula 5 min before operation and then an increment of 2% lidocaine 5 ml was given using fibreoptic bronchoscope every 15-30 min as required (the total amount was within 20 ml) . In group B, dexmedetomidine 0.5-1.0 μg/kg was injected (time of injection≥ 10 min) followed by infusion at 0.1-0.5 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 and the topical anesthesia was performed as the method described in group A. The time of lavage, adverse reactions and adverse cardiovascular events were recorded. Blood samples were taken 20 min before lavage, 20 min after the start of lavage and 20 min after the end of lavage (T1-3 ) for determination of the concentrations of plasma catecholamine and serum cortisol. Results The incidences of adverse reactions and adverse cardiovascular events were significantly lower and the operation time was significantly shorter in group B than in group A ( P < 0.05). The concentrations of plasma catecholamine and serum cortisol were significantly higher at T2，3 in group A, while lower at T2，3 in group B than at T1 ( P < 0.05) . The concentrations of plasma catecholamine and serum cortisol were significantly lower in group B than in group A ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine-assisted topical anesthesia can be used safely and effectively in BAL.

AIM:To observe the role of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in the regulation of pulmonary artery tension.METHODS:The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was detected by laser-scanning confocal micros-copy, and the pulmonary artery tension was determined by the pulmonary arterial ring technique .RESULTS: Increased levels of [Ca2+]o or Gd3+(an agonist of CaSR) induced the increase in [Ca2+]i and pulmonary artery constriction in a concentration-dependent manner.Additionally, the effects of Ca2+and Gd3+were inhibited by U73122 and D609 (specific inhibitor of PLC), and 2-APB and heparin (specific antagonist of IP3 receptor).However, U73343 (U73122 inactive ana-logue) did not take effect.CONCLUSION: CaSR may be involved in the regulation of pulmonary artery tension by in-creasing [Ca2+]i through G-protein-PLC-IP3 pathway.
