Objective To further investigate inhibitory mechanism(s) of resveratrol on varicellazoster virus (VZV) in vitro with our previously generated reporter cell line MV9G.Methods Cell-free VZVs were directly inoculated onto MV9G cells (CFVs direct-infection) or cell-associated VZVs wereco-cultured with MV9G cells (CAVs co-culture) to activate expression of reporter gene firefly luciferase in MV9G cells.Resveratrol was added before or after virus infection,roles of resveratrolon direct inactivation,on viral attachment to and penetration into MV9G cells,on intracellular viral replication and its IC50,inhibitorytime points and reversibility were assayed by comparing the luciferase activities reduction by resveratrol.Thereductions of VZV IE62 mRNA copies and IE62-antibody positive cells by resveratrol were further assayed.Results ATPs contents of MV9G cells in the presence of resveratrol over 30.0 μg/ml were concentrationdependently reduced,the CD50 of which was around 60.3 μg/ml.CFVs were premixed with 25.0 μg/ml resveratrol andincubated at 37℃ waterbath for two hours and then directly inoculated onto MV9G cells,luciferases activated by resveratrol-treated CFVs were reduced to around half of the untreated controls.MV9G cells were pre-incubated with resveratrol at 37℃ for 2 h and then directly infected with CFVs at 37℃ for another 2 h,the CFVs-activated luciferase was concentration-dependently reduced,but no big change was observed in those pre-incubated at 4℃.MV9G cells were co-cultured with CAVs in the presence of resvertrolfor 72 h,the CAVs-activated luciferases were markedly reduced in a concentration-dependent manner,the IC50 of which was around 8.7 μgml.Resveratrol was added in CAVs co-culture at 1,3,6,9,12,24,30,and 36 h post infection,the CAVs-activated luciferase in those resveratrol was added at 3,6,9,12,and 24 h post infection were significantly higher than those of controls.Resveratrol was withdrawn from CAVs coculture media,the CAVs-activated luciferases after withdrawal were significantly higher than those before,especially in those withdrswn at 24 and 72 h post infection.The IE62 mRNA levels shown by cDNA copiesdetected with SYBR Green RT-PCR and IE62 positive cells shown by monoclonal anti-IE62 antibody of thevirus-infected cells treated with resveratrol were significantly reduced with increase of incubation time withresveratrol.Conclusion Resveratrol was cytotoxic to MV9G cells,and the maximum resistant concentrationon MV9G cells was around 30.0 μg/ml,the CD50 of which was around 60.3 μg/ml.Non-cytotoxic resveratrol partly inactivated CFVs,inhibited viral penetration into rather than attachment to MV9G cells.Resveratrol inhibited CAVs' intmcellular replication strongly but reversibly in a concentration-dependent manner,the IC50 of which was around 8.7 μ/ml.The inhibition of resveratrol on VZV in vitro might be through suppression of IE62 gene transcription and expression in the early stage of infection.

Objective To investigate the arterial injury in vitro porcine kidney to different size of nephrostomy tracts. Methods The technique of percutaneous nephrostomy was applied to establish 11 groups of different size of nephrostomy tracts from 12 F to 32 F,with 40 tracts in every group.The technique of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was used to inspect and analyze arterial injury. Results In the range from 12 F to 32 F,the damage of arterial injury increased with the size of the tract diameter.In groups of 20 F and 32 F,the number of nephrostomy tracts with serious arterial injury was 18 (18/40) and 30 (30/40) respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).There was no statistical difference between groups 18 F、20 F、and 22 F. Conclusions The damage of renal arterial injury increased with the size of the nephrostomy tract.Atract of 20 F reduees arterial injury compared with a tract of 32 F.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinic characteristic and curative effect of staging tympanoplasty for chronic suppurative otitis media and cholesteatoma otitis media. METHOD: Curative effects of 132 patients cured by staging tympanoplasty and 325 patients cured by no staging tympanoplasty were retrospectively analyzed. Curative effects include ABG value (the reduced value of air-bone conduct gaps after operation), recrudescence of cholesteatoma, tympanic membrane reperforation and wet ear after operation. RESULT: In staging tympanoplasty group, ABG is 28.4 dB, rate of tympanic membrane reperforation is 1.5%, recrudescence of cholesteatoma is 0% and rate of wet ear after operation is 0%. In no staging tympanoplasty group, ABG is 21.3 dB, rate of tympanic membrane reperforation is 2.2%, recrudescence of cholesteatoma is 4.0% and rate of wet ear after operation is 1.2%. CONCLUSION The ABG, the rate of recrudescence of cholesteatoma in staging tympanoplasty group is much better than that in no staging tympanoplasty group. Tympanic membrane reperforation and wet ear after operation rate have no significant difference in statistic between two groups. We can conclude that staging operations will maintain and improve hearing level more effectively compare to no staging operation.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological distribution and temporal trends of liver cancer incidence among Luzhou residents from 2016‒2022， and to provide a theoretical basis for improving liver cancer prevention and treatment strategies in Luzhou. MethodsData on liver cancer incidence among Luzhou residents from 2016 to 2022 were collected， and the incidence rate， age-specific incidence rate， and annual percentage change （APC） were calculated. A Joinpoint regression model was used to fit a time series segment to the monthly number of new cases in each district and county of Luzhou to explore the trend of liver cancer incidence rate. ResultsThe incidence rate of liver cancer in Luzhou increased from 22.96/10⁵ in 2016 to 32.31/10⁵ in 2022. The incidence rate of liver cancer in men was higher than that in women in both 2016 and 2022， and the incidence rate of liver cancer in men increased from 34.83/10⁵ in 2016 to 47.95/10⁵ in 2022， with an APC of 3.3%； the incidence rate of liver cancer in women increased from 10.50/10⁵ in 2016 to 15.95/10⁵ in 2022， with an APC of 3.0%， and the differences in the change trends were not statistically significant （P>0.05）.The incidence of liver cancer was low in the age group of 0‒<40 years from 2016 to 2022 and increased with age； the incidence of liver cancer in the age group of 55 years and above was increasing at an average annual rate of 16.4%. ConclusionThe overall incidence of liver cancer in Luzhou is on the rise， and the incidence of liver cancer in men is higher than that in women. Middle-aged and elderly men are the key population for liver cancer prevention and treatment， and liver cancer prevention and treatment should be carried out in a targeted manner， taking into account regional development differences.

Objective: To isolate the cariogenic Streptococcus mutans (Sm) strains and study the therapeutical effect of egg yolk antibody (IgY) of the Sm on dental caries development. Methods: Sm strains were isolated from the children's dental plaque samples. Morphological, biochemical and molecular biological methods were applied to identify the serotype, acid producing and adhesion abilities of isolated Sm strains. After inactivation one of the Sm strains was used as antigen to immune laying hens to collect and extract the specific anti-Sm IgY. The rats were infected with Sm (serotype e). After 16 weeks of infection, all the rats were found developing dental caries. The rats were then randomly divided into two groups. The rats in experimental group were supplied with diet containing anti-Sm IgY while the rats in control group with normal IgY. All rats were sacrificed after another 8 weeks' observation. The degree of caries for each rat was assessed using Keyes' method. Results: We isolated 7 Sm strains from the children's dental plaque samples in the present study. The numbers of serotype c, e, f, k were 3, 2, 0 and 2, respectively. All strains showed similar morphological and biochemical characters as standard UA159 Sm strain, and possessed strong capabilities of acid production and adherence. Interestingly, even the same serotypec strains, such as No.3 and No.7 strains, demonstrated significant difference on acid producing and adherence capabilities. After 16 weeks infection with serotype e strain, the rats' mandibular teeth were apparently decayed, and treatment with specific anti-Sm IgY obviously attenuated the development of caries in the experiment group rats (16.4±2.0) compared with that in the control group rats (30.2±9.3) (P<0.05) determined by Keyes' method. Conclusions Seven cariogenic Sm strains of different serotypes were isolated, which possesses similar morphology and biochemical characters. Although belonging to the same serotype strains they always show significant difference in acid-producing and adherencec apabilities. Further experiment provides evidences that the serotype e strain could obviously induce caries independently, and employment of specific anti-Sm IgY as passive immunotherapy additive might effectively inhibit the further development of dental caries.

Objective: To explore the optimal positions of the implanted stimulating eletrodes for artificial facial nerve (AFN) for inducing contraction of the orbicularis oris muscle (OOM) in rabbit with peripheral facial paralysis. Methods: According to the four microelectrodes of the AFN stimulating side, four modes of the implanted positions were divided. In line with different modes, the electrodes were implanted into the affected OOM of the rabbits with unilateral peripheral facial paralysis. AFN output electric stimulation to induce contraction of the affected OOM with uniform stimulating frequency and pulse length in vitro. Then compared the stimulus threshold amplitude and the peak amplitude separately among different modes by SAS 9.3 version statistical software. Results: The differences of the stimulus threshold amplitude and the peak amplitude had no statistically significant separately between the first mode and the second mode (P>0.05), but there were statistically significant differences between the third mode and the fourth mode (P<0.05). Both kinds of the amplitudes were approximated between the first mode and the second mode respectively, and higher than those in the third mode or the fourth mode. Furthermore, both kinds of the amplitudes in the fourth mode were higher than those in the third mode. Conclusions The microelectrodes of the AFN stimulating lateral are implanted into the upper lip with a public microelectrode and an output microelectrode, into the lower lip with an output microelectrode, and into the way, which is located to the angle 40° to 45° about the line joining between the midpoint of the ipsilateral auricle root and the corner of the mouth with an output microelectrode. This is the third positional mode which requires lowest effective stimulus current intensity. Thus the mode is suitable as the optimal placement programme.
