1.Phylogenetic Analyses of HPV53 and Prediction of B and T Cell Epitopes
Medical Journal of Peking Union Medical College Hospital 2024;15(6):1364-1371
To construct phylogenetic trees based on HPV53 full length sequences, and predict the physical and chemical parameters, secondary structure, B and T cell epitopes of HPV53 proteins(E1, E2, E4, E6, E7, L1, and L2). The full-length sequences of HPV53 variants were retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI), and a phylogenetic tree was constructed to delineate variant lineages. The physical and chemical parameters of HPV53 proteins were analyzed by ProtParam. The secondary structure of proteins was analyzed using PSIPRED and SOPMA. The B and T cell epitopes for HPV53 proteins were predicted by the IEDB analysis server and the ABCpred server, respectively. Then, to select the potential dominant B and T cell epitopes, more parameters including flexibility, hydrophilicity, surface accessibility, antigenicity of predicted B and T cell epitopes were further predicted by bioinformatic methods such as VaxiJen. Finally, for homology analysis, the potential dominant B and T cell epitopes were compared with the 13 high-risk HPV subtypes using NCBI BLAST tool. A total of 54 full-length HPV53 sequences were retrieved from the NCBI database, with 48 entries remaining after deduplication. These 48 HPV53 isolates from different countries/regions were clustered into three main evolutionary branches labeled as lineages A, B, and C. The physicochemical properties of three different HPV53 variants(representing A, B, and C lineages, respectively) were similar. The secondary structure of the E1, E6, and E7 proteins was predominantly α-helices, while E2, E4, L1, and L2 predominantly exhibited random coils. After prediction and screening, a total of 6 potential B-cell epitopes and 9 potential T-cell epitopes were identified on HPV53 proteins. Among these epitopes, B cell epitopes TTPIRPPPPPRPWAPT in E4 region, CYRCQHPLTPEEKQLH in E6 region, and T cell epitopes SGVHSYEEIPMQ in L2 region showed high homologous to HPV56(all > 90%). Bioinformatics analysis and prediction revealed that HPV53 isolates could be clustered into three main evolutionary branches labeled as A, B, and C. These branches exhibited similar physicochemical properties, with minor differences in their secondary structure. Moreover, HPV53 viral proteins contained both B-cell and T-cell antigenic epitopes. These results lay the foundation for further research on vaccines and drugs based on HPV53-related peptides.

Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogenic bacteria,drug sensitivity,and the relationship between drug sensitivity and Escherichia coli(E.coli) induced enzymes in childhood diarrhea in the last 2 years in Chongqing area,so as to provide important evidence for pediatric clinical therapy.Methods Thirty-one E.coli induced enzymes,extended spectrum ?-laetamases(ESBLs),cephalosporinase(AmpC)detected in different phenotype methods,and drug sensitivity was measured in paper strip method,and the specimens were collected from children′s hospital affiliated to chongqing university of medical sciences from Jan.2005 to Dec.2006 were determined.Among the total,there were 18 enteropathogeic E.coli(EPEC) strains,8 enterotoxigenic E.coli(ETEC) strains and 5 enteroinvasive E.coli(EIEC) strains.In addition,drug resistance tests by paper strip included chloramphenicol(CHL),amikacin(AMK),gentamicin(GEN),norfloxacin(NOF),ciproflocacin(CIP),cefazolin(CEZ),cefoperazone(CPZ),ceftriaxone(CRO),ceftazidime(CAZ),cefotacime(CTX),cefepime(FEP),imipenem(IPM).SPSS 12.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results Three point two percent of the 31 E.coli were drug resistant to IPM,and 35.5%,38.7% to NOF,CIP individually,but more than 60% to AMK,GEN,even more than 67.7% towards cephalosporin(except ceftazidime and cefepime);the gross enzyme-produced rate was 87.1%,rate of single ESBLs,AmpC,and induction of both enzymes simultaneously presented 64.5%,6.5%,16.1% respectively;and there was marked difference in drug resistance when bacteria that produced single AmpC versus bacteria that produced single ESBLs or that produced both ESBLs and AmpC(Pa﹤0.05).Conclusions The relationships among enzyme′s quantity,sort and bacterial resistance are different.These data show E.coli infected by bacterial diarrhea children in Chongqing due to a high rate of induced enzymes,and their drug resistance vary according to the state of induced enzymes.

Objective To investigate the role of autonomic nerve system(ANS)in the pathogenesis of acute mountain sickness(AMS).Methods A hypobaric chamber was used to simulate 4500m altitude for 1 day.The function of ANS of 43 healthy young males was measured individually before the experiment,and then at a “height” of 4500m for 5min.GJB1098-91 clinical questionnaires were conducted to evaluate the AMS symptomatic scores.HRV was measured respectively before the test and 2h,10h,20h at 4500m;cold pressure test(CPT)and plasma concentration of NA were determined before the test and at 4500m,AMS scores were evaluated at the end of exposure.25 subjects with AMS scores of 10 or less were identified as mild AMS group(group A),and another 18 subjects with scores of over 10 were gathered as moderately severe AMS group(group B).Results Compared with group A,the systolic pressure(SP)during CPT increased markedly in group B(P
