Hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection is the main cause of chronic liver diseases in China. The clearance of HBV is important for patients with chronic hepatitis B.Current antiviral therapy includes interferon and nucleotide analogues.The adverse reactions of interferon are common which restrict its application.Nucleotide analogues need long-term maintenance treatment.Kupffer cells (KCs) are the main innate immune cells in the liver.Studies have shown that KCs play an important role in hepatitis B virus infection.It can inhibit virus replication effectively , but may also result in immune dysfunction , causing HBV persistence.Understanding the mechanism related to the role of KCs in hepatitis B virus infection may lead to a new approach of antiviral therapy.

Human adenovirus ( HAdV ) is the most widely used vector of gene drugs . Its applications range from oncolytic therapy to vaccination , besides , HAdV is one of the most important pathogen causing acute respiratory infections in infants and young children .How the human innate immune system protects against HAdV has always been the focus of its application as a vaccine carrier .In patients with immunodeficient and hematopoietic stem cell transplant , specific T cell immunotherapy is also one of the hotspots in recent years .Although some HAdV vector vaccines have entered clinical trials , the immune mechanism remains controversial .This article describes how the human innate immune system and the adaptive immune system defend against HAdV and the escape mechanism of HAdV for human immune responses ,in order to indicate directions for vaccine research and deepen clinicians 'understanding of HAdV severe infections .

Objective To investigate the characteristics of CT findings in pediatric ovarian torsion and improve the understanding of pediatric ovarian torsion.Methods The clinical and CT data of 20 cases of ovarian torsion confirmed by pathology and/or surgery were analyzed retrospectively,based on the timing of ovarian torsion,they were divided into fetal and non-fetal groups.All 20 cases underwent plain CT scan and 11 cases underwent CT enhancement.Results All of the 20 cases were unilateral duplication,including 12 cases right and 8 cases left.There were 8 cases of ovarian torsion in the fetal group,all of them were visited with the finding of abdominal mass.The eggshell calcification on CT manifestations was found in 8 cases,and 2 cases of pelvic effusion.There were 12 cases of ovarian torsion in the non-fetal group,all of them presented with abdominal pain,CT showed the disc sign in 7 cases,peduncular protrusion sign in 6 cases,adnexal bleeding sign in 2 cases,subcapsular effusion sign in 2 cases,the uterus displaced to the ipsilateral ovary in 6 cases and pelvic effusion in 10 cases.The disc sign and peduncular protrusion sign were direct signs for the diagnosis of ovarian torsion,and the adnexal bleeding sign and subcapsular effusion sign suggested the possibility of necrosis.Conclusion Pediatric ovarian torsion CT findings with typical signs such as disc sign,peduncular protrusion sign,adnexal bleeding sign and subcapsular effusion sign,combined with clinical history,a more accurate diagnosis can be given,providing assistance in clinical treatment.

Objective:To investigate the high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings, laboratory test results and clinical manifestations of anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody positive dermatomyositis complicated with lung interstitial lesions, and to analyze the correlation between the HRCT findings and clinical course of disease.Methods:Twenty-seven patients with anti-MDA5 antibody positive associated dermatomyositis (DM) were included and divided into two groups: acute/subacute group ( n=15) and chronic group ( n=12). HRCT images of lung were analyzed. Clinical data including gender, age, clinical manifestations and course of disease, anti-Ro52 antibody, creatine kinase (CK), antinuclear antibody (ANA), anti-Jo-1 antibody and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were also collected. χ2 test was adopted for statistical analysis. Results:① Interstitial changes were 100%(27/27). The proportion of unilateral localized distribution was the most [48%(13/27)], followed by bilateral localized distribution [30%(8/27)], and bilateral diffuse distribution [22%(6/27)). ② Among the HRCT findings of lung interstitial changes, ground glass shadow was the most common presentations [59%(16/27)], followed by subpleural curve sign [63%(17/27)] and interlobular septal thickening [56%(15/27)], while honeycomb sign [0(0/27)] had the lowest rate of presentation. ③ Compared with the chronic progressive group, the acute/subacute progressive group presented as chest tightness (80% vs 8%, χ2=13.715, P<0.05) and dyspnea (47% vs 0, χ2=7.560, P<0.05). Acute/subacute HRCT showed ground glass opacity (87% vs 25%, χ2=10.501, P<0.05). The prominent HRCT showed interlobular septal thickening in the chronic course group (83% vs 33%, χ2=6.750, P<0.05). ④ The anti-MDA5 antibody (+++) index was significantly different (88% vs 25%, χ2=8.168, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in anti-Ro52 antibody (+), ANA(+), anti-Jo-1 antibody(+), CK elevation and ESR elevation between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Most dermatomyositis patients with positive anti-MDA5 antibody are complicated with interstitial lung lesions, the HRCT manifestations of lung are diverse. In order to confirm the diagnosis of this disease, clinical manifestations, laboratory and pathological examinations are required.

OBJECTIVE:To reduce the incidence of irrational medical orders for parenteral nutrition,and promote the rational use of parenteral nutrition. METHODS:The medical orders for parenteral nutrition of the first quarter of 2016 in general surgery de-partment of our hospital were collected,and the number and types of its irrational medical orders were summed up. Then FO-CUS-PDCA(Find-organize-clarify-understand-select-plan-do-check-act)cycle management was adopted to analyze and improve the existing problems in issuing medical orders for parenteral nutrition. The improved(the third quarter of 2016)medical orders for par-enteral nutrition were collected,the number and types of its irrational medical orders were summed up,and management effect was evaluated. RESULTS:Establishing nutrition support group,strengthening the training and communication of medical staff,adding prescription evaluation module for parenteral nutrition in hospital information system and a number of measures had made the inci-dence of irrational medical orders for parenteral nutrition in general surgery department declined from 48.25%(1433/2970)before improvement to 5.67%(120/2118)after improvement. The incidences of cation excess,inappropriate selection of drugs and inap-propriate compatibility in irrational types were 0. CONCLUSIONS:FOCUS-PDCA cycle management can reduce the irrational rate of medical orders for parenteral nutrition and promote the rational use of parenteral nutrition in hospital.

Objective To explore the correlation between exon region polymorphism of PPP1R3A gene and schizophrenia in Uygur Chinese population. Methods PPP1R3A gene exon region DNA amplification was performed using multiple PCR targeted capture next-generation sequencing method in 528 patients with schizophrenia and 576 healthy controls of Uyghur descent, Illumina HiSeq X Ten was used for sequencing, the symptoms of schizophrenia were assessed by positive and negative symptoms scale (PANSS). Results The allelic and genotypic distributions in rs1800000 of PPP1R3A gene between patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls had significant difference (P<0.05), rs1799999 in genotype frequency between the female case and control groups showed significant difference (P<0.05). Furthermore, the allelic distributions of rs8192686 between male cases and controls had significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion PPP1R3A gene rs1800000 may be associated with the development of schizophrenia in Uygur Chinese population; rs1799999 may be a risk factor for susceptibility of female Uygur Chinese schizophrenia; The C allele at rs8192686 may be associated with male Uygur Chinese schizophrenia.
