Objective To examine the role of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase(JNK) 1 in cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses against virus infection.Methods Wild-type (WT) and JNK1-knockout (JNK1-/-) mice were infected with ectromelia virus(ECTV) through hind footpads.Survival and virus titers in the target organs (liver and spleen) were analyzed.Effector T cells in the spleen and popliteal lymph nodes were determined on day 3 and 7 post-infection.Proliferation and INF-γ production of CTL were also detected.Results JNK1 deficiency caused an increased susceptibility to ECTV infection in mice,indicated by higher case fatality and viral burden in target organs.The decrease in CTL response correlated with a defect in CTL proliferation and INF-γproduction.Conclusion The data suggest that JNK1 is involved in expansion of activated CTL during ECTV infection,and plays an important antiviral role in regulating the proliferation and effector function of CTL.

OBJECTIVE To study the existence of the ?-lactamase gene produced by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from respiratory tract. METHODS Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by K-B method. A modified three-dimensional test was used to detect the ?-lactamase phenotypes. The genotypes were analyzed by PCR amplification and product sequencing. RESULTS ?-Lactamases were detected in 29 out of the 46 isolates. Twenty-one isolates produced AmpC ?-lactamase,two of them harboring CARB-3 gene. Two isolates produced ESBLs harbored TEM gene. Six isolates produced other type of ?-lactamases. Four out of 6 harbored CARB-3 gene and three IMP gene. The oprD2 gene was deleted in 34 isolates. CONCLUSIONS Chromosomal-mediated AmpC ?-lactamase is the major ?-lactamases produced by multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa and CARB-3 is second. Lack oprD2 gene is popular.

Objective:To observe the effect of Governor Vessel-unblocking and mind-calming acupuncture on insomnia and further develop the academic idea on Gao’s lineage acupuncture. Methods:A total of 68 insomnia cases were randomly allocated into an acupuncture group (n=34) and a medication group (n=34) according to their sequences of consultation. Patients in the acupuncture group received acupuncture treatment once a day, 5 d a week, for 4 weeks. Patients in the medication group took 1 mg of Estazolam before sleep for each dose, one dose a day, for 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, the sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and the efficacy was assessed using the PSQI reductive rate. Results:After treatment, the global PSQI score and scores of each component in the acupuncture group were significantly decreased (allP<0.01). The global PSQI score in the medication group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Except for sleep disturbance, scores of the rest of components were significantly decreased (P<0.01 orP<0.05). The between-group difference was statistically significant in global PSQI score (P<0.01). Except for sleep latency and duration, scores of the sleep quality, efficiency, disturbance and daytime dysfunction in the acupuncture group were significantly lower than those in the medication group (allP<0.05). In addition, the recovery and marked effect rate in the acupuncture group was significantly higher than that in the medication group (P<0.05). Conclusion:The Governor Vessel-unblocking and mind-calming acupuncture is safe, reliable for insomnia and has better efficacy than Estazolam.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the short-term clinical efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy in children with allergic rhinitis. METHODS Forty-four patients, from 3-14 years of age, with mite-sensitive allergic rhinitis were treated sublingually with standardized dermatophagoidesfarinae extract. After treatment of 3 or 6 months using the dermatophagoidesfarinae extract, the total nasal symptoms score(including nasal congestion, nasal itching, rhinorrhea and sneezing scores), total rhinitis medicine scores, visual analog scale scores and the percentage of blood eosinophilic granulocyte(Eos%) before and after treatment were evaluated. SPSS 20.0 software was used to analyze the data. RESULTS After 3 or 6 months' treatment,thenasal symptoms score(including nasal congestion, nasal itching, rhinorrhea and sneezing scores), total rhinitis medicine scores and visual analog scale scoreshad significantly reduced,comparing with that before treatment(all P<0.05). The comparison of the total nasal symptoms score(including nasal congestion, rhinorrhea and sneezing scores), total rhinitis medicine scores and visual analog scale scores between 3 months and 6 months treatment had shown no significant difference (all P>0.05), while nasal itching scores had significantly reduced(Z=-4.185, P<0.05). After 6 months' treatment, the percentage of Eos% had significantly reduced compared with that before treatment(Z=-4.544, P<0.05). CONCLUSION SLIT could be an effective treatment in patients with allergic rhinitis sensitive to house dust mite. It would have effect after3 months treatment and Eos%reduced significantly after 6 months treatment.
