Hepatic stellate cells(HSCs),the pluripotent cells,exist between liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and hepatic epithelial cells. Activated HSCs transform to myofibroblast-like cells,start to proliferate,and de novo express some proinflammatory and profibrogenic genes,which promote hepatic fibrogenesis. Previous studies mainly focused on the relationship between HSCs and liver fibrosis,however,recent studies indicate that HSCs are essential for proliferation, differentiation and maturation of various liver cells in the process of liver development and regeneration. This review systematically summarized the source,developmental regulation and function of HSCs,and focused on progress of recent studies on the role of HSCs in liver development and regeneration. The novel knowledge of HSCs may provide clues for treatment of liver diseases.

AIM: To study the expression of mic2/CD99 protein and their correlation with Eber-1/LMP-1 in Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining, in situ hybrization and tissue microarry technique were used to detect the expressions of mic2/CD99 and Eber-1/LMP-1 of H/RS cells in 43 cases of cHL and 16 cases of NHL. RESULTS: The positive rate of CD99 protein expression in 43 cases of cHL was 2.3% (1/43) , mic2 was 55.8% (24/43), LMP1 was 58.1% (25/43) and Eber-1 was 53.5% (23/43). The expressions of CD99 and mic2 in the NHL group were higher than those in cHL group (P0.05). There was a negative correlation between the expression of CD99 protein and LMP1 in H/RS cells (P0.05). There was a significant correlation between the high expression of LMP1 and a low expression of CD99 in the young patients (P0.05). CONCLUSION: There is a negative correlation between the expression of LMP1 and CD99 in Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Objective To investigate the antiviral effects of antisense phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN)in 9HTEO infected with influenza A virus (IFAV) in vitro. Methods The ASODN which complemented to genomic PB1, M2, NS, PB2, HA mRNA of IFAV was used to investigate antiviral effection in vitro. The cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed, and the cell survival rates were measured by MTF assay, plaque assay, RT-PCR, Western blot and Immunofluorescence were performed to test anti-viral efficiency of PB1, M2, NS in cells mRNA and protein level. Results 9HTEO cells infected with IFAV almost all died when the multipicity of infection (MOI) is aboved after 5 days cell culture. The ASODN could increase the cell survival rates. The IFAV PB1, M2, NS significantly reduced CPE of IFAV infected 9HTEO cells, reduced the viral replication of IFAV in the cells (P <0.05). Conclusion The ASODN which targeted the mRNA of IFAV gene showed a significant and specific anti-IFAV effect both in mRNA and protein level in cells culture system. The study indicates that the PB1, M2 and NS mRNA may play an important role in regulating IFAV replication, and ASODN may have inhibitory activity on IFAV replication. The results established the basis for further study on new drugs against IFAV infection include the highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza virus.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the difference between age and gender in patients with micturition syncope (MS).
METHODS:
A total of 56 patients with MS were diagnosed from 1 542(3-72 years old) cases with unexplained syncope or symptoms of presyncope during micturition in our hospital. The age, onset age, positive rate of head up tilt table test (HUTT) and their correlation with age and gender were analyzed.
RESULTS:
The average age of patients with MS was older than that of patients with nonmicturition syncope (NMS)[5-67(35.5)years old vs. 3-72(12)years old,Z=-7.587,P<0.01]. Among the patients with MS, adults (>18 years old) were more than children (≤ 18 years old) (9.4% vs. 1.0%,χ2=65.689,P<0.01). There was gender difference in the onset rate of MS (male 5.0% vs. female 2.5%,χ 2=6.858,P<0.01). There was no difference in the positive rate of HUTT between the MS and NMS groups, and between the males and females with MS. There was no difference in age and onset age between the HUTT positive and negative group, and between the males and females.
CONCLUSION
MS occurs more often in adults and males. Bezold Jazisch reflex may play a role in the mechanism of MS.

Objective To identify the role of IL-17A during respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in-fection in a mouse model. Methods Female wild-type C57BL/6 mice and IL-17A knockout ( IL-17A-/-) mice at the age of 6 to 8 weeks were both randomly divided into two groups:control and RSV groups. Mice in the control groups were given the supernatant of Hep-2 cell culture, while those in the RSV groups were treated with RSV A2 through intranasal administration. Leukocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( BALF) samples were counted. Left lung tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin ( HE ) to evaluate his-topathological scores. Airway hyperresponsiveness ( AHR) was measured by whole-body plethysmography. The concentrations of IFN-γ were determined with ELISA. RSV titers were measured by plaque assay. To assess the effects of IL-17A on IFN-γproduction and its role in RSV infection, IL-17A-/- mice were treated with exogenous recombinant murine IFN-γ or IL-17A, while wild-type mice were given IFN-γ neutralizing antibody intervention. Results The counts of inflammatory cells and neutrophils in BALF, lung tissue his-topathological scores, AHR, IFN-γlevels and virus titers of the wild-type group were higher than those of the IL-17A-/-group after RSV infection. IFN-γlevels, inflammatory cell counts in BALF, AHR and lung tissue histopathological scores were significantly increased in RSV-infected IL-17A-/- mice after the intervention of recombinant murine IL-17A or IFN-γ. RSV titers were much higher in the recombinant murine IL-17A-trea-ted group, but not affected by the recombinant murine IFN-γ intervention. Inflammatory cell counts in BALF, AHR and lung tissue histopathological scores were significantly decreased in RSV-infected wild-type mice following IFN-γ neutralizing antibody treatment, but no significant changes were found in RSV titers. Conclusions IL-17A might be involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary diseases during RSV infection through promoting IFN-γ production and inhibiting viral clearance in mice.
