Abstract： Objective　To elucidate the antigenic antibody reaction of recombinant expression of non-structural protein 1 (NS1) of Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus with various mosquito-borne flaviviruses, including JE virus, and the antigenic antibody reaction of serum samples of patients infected with JE virus in acute stage. Methods　In this study, Escherichia coli prokaryotic expression vector (pET) system was used to recombinant express Japanese encephalitis virus NS1 gene. Western Blot assay was performed to detect the antibody responses of the recombinantly expressed protein against a variety of mosquito-transmitted flaviviruses, including JE virus, as well as antigen-antibody reactions of serum from patients with acute JE virus infection. Results　The NS1 gene expression product of JE virus (P3 strain) was in the form of an inclusion body, and the denatured and renatured expression product was displayed as a single band in the denatured gel (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, PAGE), with a molecular weight of about 45 000. The results of further antigen-antibody analysis showed that the antigen/antibody hybridization reaction of the expression product with polyclonal or monoclonal antibody of JE virus (mosquito isolates, encephalitis isolates) and serum samples of patients with acute JE virus infection could be completely consistent. The recombinant product showed negative antigen/antibody hybridization reactions with mosquito-transmitted flaviviruses, such as dengue virus and yellow fever virus polyclonal antibodies, but positive reactions with polyclonal antibodies to West Nile virus and Murray Valley encephalitis virus. Conclusions　In this study, the recombinant expression of the NS1 protein of JE virus was successfully obtained, and the antigen/antibody reaction between the recombinant protein and samples of patients infected with mosquito-borne flavivirus and JE virus was analyzed. The study results provide important basic data for elucidating the antigen-antibody reaction between the NS1 protein of JE virus and mosquito-borne flavivirus. The recombinant expression protein obtained in this study provides an important material basis for further research on the function of JE virus NS1 protein.

Objective To explore the application effect of cross-team scenario simulation exercise in the training of fire emergency plan in operating room.Methods Totally 48 nurses,16 anesthetists and 16 workmates in operating room of Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2015 to March 2016 were selected and divided into eight groups. The training of fire emergency plan in operating room was carried out with the method of scenario simulation exercise. The system of exercise contained three phases. The first phase was the theoretical study;the second phase was a teaching of centralized operation exercise;the third phase was the exercise in groups according to the design of simulation scenarios. The score was evaluated according to the method of subjective comment with over 80 points as the qualified,and below 79 points as the unqualified. At the same time,the time of completing the process before and after the exercise was recorded.Results The mean score of exercise examination was (88.75±4.23) points among eight groups with six groups whose scores were more than 90 points. When the small fire in operating room could be put out within three minutes by themselves,the time from the occurrence of fire to the restart of surgery after training (428.8±19.1) s was less than that (605.0±17.9) s before training with a significant difference (P<0.05). When the big fire in operating room could not be put out within three minutes by themselves,the time of retreat after training (44.6±4.2) s was less than that (71.0±6.4) s before training with a significant difference (P<0.05).Conclusions The cross-team scenario simulation exercise can improve the mastery level of fire emergency plan in operating room of operating room members. It is worthy of popularization and application in clinic.

Objective:This study contrasts the immune efficacy of the varicella zoster virus glycoprotein E (VZV gE)using Al/CpG combined adjuvants and AS01 adjuvant in BALB/c mice.Methods:BALB/c mice were immunized at 0 and 21 days respectively, and serum antibodies were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Detection of neutralizing antibodies in mouse serum using varicella zoster virus; enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay was used to detect cellular immune response.Results:Following two intramuscular immunizations, mice in the experimental groups (Shingrix, gE+ Al/CpG, and gE+ AS01) demonstrated elevated neutralizing antibody titers and an augmented count of lymphocytes releasing IFN-γ and IL-4. The gE+ Al/CpG group displayed the highest neutralizing antibody titer (1943), yet the AS01-adjuvanted groups (Shingrix and gE+ AS01) showed increased lymphocyte counts secreting IFN-γ and IL-4 compared to the Al/CpG group (gE+ Al/CpG). In comparison to the AS01 adjuvant, Al/CpG adjuvants triggered a humoral immune response favoring Th2 in mice. The proportions of CD4 + T and CD8 + T cells were not significantly different among the experimental groups. Conclusions:Al/CpG adjuvant combined with gE protein resulted in high neutralizing antibody titers, while the intensity of the induced cellular immune response was inferior to that of AS01 adjuvant.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) on the fear extinction in mice with chronic social defeat stress (SD). Methods Fifty-six male C57BL/6J mice aged 7-8 weeks were randomly divided into control group,social defeat group,control-SAHA group and social defeat-SAHA group to investigate the effect of SAHA and social defeat group,social defeat-AAV BDNF group and social defeat-AAV blank group to investigate the effect of BDNF. Fear extinction in mice was evaluated by fear conditioning test (FC). The levels of BDNF and HDAC2 in mice hippocampus were detected by Western blot (WB). The expression of BDNF-overexpressing virus in hippocampus of mice was detected by immunofluorescence assay. Results (1) Compared with control group,fear extinction in the social defeat group was significantly decreased (P<0. 05). Compared with control group, the level of HDAC2(0. 50±0. 02) in the social defeat group was significantly increased (P<0. 001),while the level of BDNF(0. 16 ± 0. 03) was significantly decreased (P<0. 001) in the social defeat group. ( 2) After using SAHA,fear extinction of mice significantly improved (P<0. 05). Compared with control group,the level of HDAC2 (0. 26±0. 02) in the control-SAHA group was significantly decreased(P<0. 001),and the level of BDNF (0. 40±0. 03) was significantly increased (P<0. 001). Compared with social defeat group,the level of HDAC2 (0. 39±0. 03) in the social defeat-SAHA group was significantly decreased (P<0. 001),and the lev-el of BDNF (0. 28±0. 01) was significantly increased (P<0. 001). (3)After injection BDNF-overexpressing virus,fear extinction was significantly improved(P<0. 05). Conclusion SAHA can enhance fear extinction in mice with chronic social defeat stress and its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of BDNF ex-pression in hippocampus by inhibiting HDAC2 in hippocampal.
