Objective:To investigate the efficacy of antiviral therapy and its selection in hospitalized children with infectious mononucleosis (IM).Methods:The IM children admitted to Shenzhen Children’s Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were divided into acyclovir (ACV) treatment group and non-antiviral treatment group, and the clinical data were collected for retrospective analysis.Results:A total of 370 children were included, the median age was 3.6 years, each age group proportion: <3 years (25.9%), 3-<6 years (53.0%). 6-<10 years (17.6%) and ≥10 years (3.5%). Male∶Female=1.5∶1. While 42.4% (157/370) of the 370 children received ACV, 57.6% (213/370) did not receive antiviral therapy; 52 cases were treated in infectious disease department, and none of them received antiviral treatment, and 318 cases were treated in non-infectious disease department, of which 157 cases were in ACV group. There was significant difference between the two groups ( P <0.001); Thirty-eight cases of children in non-infectious disease department complicated with abnormal liver function, of which 23 cases (60.5%) were in the ACV group and 15 cases (39.5%) were in the non-antiviral treatment group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.060). Compared with the non-antiviral treatment group, the ACV group has longer hospitalization days and higher hospitalization expenses ( P<0.01). There was no significant difference in duration of fever ( P>0.05). The number of atypical lymphocytes recovered faster in ACV group ( P=0.001). Conclusions:The hospitalized children with IM were mostly boys, and most of them were from 3 to 6 years old. ACV treatment could not shorten the duration of fever and hospitalization days of IM children, nor could it reduce the hospitalization expenses. Abnormal liver function did not affect the decision of antiviral treatment, and infectious disease specialists prefer not to use antiviral drugs. The authors advocate reducing the use of antiviral drugs for IM.

Optimization of the fermentation condition for human apolipoproteinA-I expression in recombinant Escherichia coli was investigated. The recombinant plasmid pBV220-ApoA-I was transformed respectively into different E.coli hosts such as JM109, BL21(DE3),DH5?, BMH7118,and TG1. The best host E.coli was DH5? in which the recombinant ApoA-I expression percentage was 21.2% corresponding to that in BL21(DE3) in flask shaker cultivation,while the ApoA-I expressed percentage in E.coli TG1 was 11%.Fed-batch cultivation was performed in FMG-5L fermentor,the optimum fermentation cultivation conditions were as following :optimum pH value was 7.0 in growth phase and 7.4 in the expression phase. The initial glucose concentration in batch phase was 3 g?L -1.The optimum C/N ratio was 2∶1.The recombinant ApoA-I reached about 40% of the total protein, and concentration of ApoA-I was 2.86 g?L -1.

The temperature effect on the recombinant protein production formation was investigated in present study. The culture temperature of growth phase is 30℃, and the culture temperature of induction phase was arranged according to three modes. Hign cell-density and high expression culture of E.coli to product recombinant human apolipoprotein A-I Milano by two temperature-shifted induction .

The recombinant protein ApoA-I Milano reached 4.8 g?L -1 with the final cell density of OD 600 150. And the two temperature-shifted induction avoided the acetic acid successfully to the influence of the high density and high expression. Two temperature-shifted induction was viable in high density culture and high expression of heterogenous protein in recombination E.coli.The sduty provides a basic work for production of recombinant ApoA-I Milano in scale.

Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy is a serious clinical problem for patients receiving cancer treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential efficacy of pregabalin in chemotherapy-induced neuropathy in rats. A total of 35 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: group 1, naive control; group 2, treated with pregabalin (30 mg/kg p.o., for 8 days); group 3, docetaxel was given by single intravenous infusion at 10 mg/kg; groups 4 and 5, pregabalin at 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg respectively was orally administered for 8 days after the docetaxel treatment. On day 8, behavioral test was performed, and substance P and CGRP release in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and sciatic nerve were analyzed by electron microscope. Our results showed that docetaxel induced mechanical allodynia, mechanical hyperalgesia, heat hypoalgesia, cold allodynia, and sciatic nerve impairment and substance P and CGRP release in DRG. However, oral administration of pregabalin (10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg) for 8 consecutive days significantly attenuated docetaxel-induced neuropathy by ameliorating heat hypoalgesia, cold allodynia, impairment of sciatic nerve and reducing the release of substance P and CGRP. The findings in the present study reveal that pregabalin may be a potential treatment agent against chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.

AIM: To explore the effect of low expression of senescence marker protein 30(SMP30)on proliferation and oxidative stress of human lens epithelial cells(LECs)line SRA01/04 under high calcium conditions.

METHODS: Three RNAi sequences were designed to knock down SMP30 target gene RGN expression(KD1-3), and the blank-load sequence was used as the negative control group(NCKD), all of which were used to construct lentiviral vectors to infect SRA01/04 cells. Meanwhile, the uninfected SRA01/04 cells was used as the blank control group(CON). After transfecting SRA01/04 cells, the lentiviral vector with the highest knockdown efficiency was selected by RT-PCR for subsequent experiments. Cells were treated with 15mmol/L CaCl2 for 24h to simulate a high calcium conditions. BrdU-Elisa assay was used to measure cell proliferation, superoxide dismutase(SOD)assay kit and oxidized glutathione/total glutathione(GSSG/T-GSH)assay kit were used to detect the level of intracellular oxidative stress.

RESULTS: KD1-3 and NCKD lentiviral vectors were successfully constructed to infect SRA01/04 cells with an infection efficiency of about 80%. The knockdown efficiency of KD1-3 group was 93%, 60% and 74%, respectively, KD1 group was selected for follow-up experiment. Under the high calcium conditions, the activity of relative cell proliferation and SOD in KD1 group \〖(2.42±0.08)and(11.69±0.52U/mg)\〗 were significantly lower than that in NCKD group \〖(2.95±0.08)and(31.10±2.24U/mg)\〗 and CON group \〖(2.96±0.25)and(26.33±1.04U/mg)\〗, the ratio of GSSG/T-GSH in KD1 group(70.80±2.34)was significantly higher than that in NCKD group(15.93±3.47)and CON group(20.05±2.45)(P<0.05); there was no significant difference between NCKD group and CON group(P>0.05).

CONCLUSION: Under high calcium conditions, SRA01/04 cells(HLECs)with low expression of SMP30 mediated by shRNA lentivirus resulted in the decrease of the proliferation activity and antioxidant capacity, suggesting that SMP30 may play a protective role in regulating cell proliferation and anti-oxidative stress in HLECs.
