International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;40(6):613-616
Virus infection can cause a variety of host immune response to prevent the spreading of virus.Innate immunity is the first line of defense to resist to virus infection in host.After the virus enters,the macrophage phagocytoses and process of virus antigen.On the other hand,it activates the innate antiviral immune response.The expression of interferon after EV71 infection may be associated with cell specific response.Most studies have shown that EV71 can inhibit the expression of interferon to achieve immune escape.Then antigen presenting cells present antigens to T/B lymphocytes,once specific T/B lymphocytes are activated by antigen,they will be activated,proliferated,diferentiated to immunologic effector cells,which secrete antibodies,cytokines,cell toxicity of medium,ultimately,develop immunological effect.Both humoral immunity and cellular immunity are activated in EV71 infection,and play an important role in mediating protection effect.Cellular immunity may be associated with the clinical outcome of EV71 infection.The EV71-specific neutralizing antibody generated by the humoral immunity plays a key role in protective immunity,but the antibody response level is not correlated with disease severity.In addition,virus infection can induce cell apoptosis to prevent the virus proliferation and the spreading of progeny virus.

Objective To explore the relationship between angiogenin-1/2 (Ang-1/2) and clinical parameters of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and to assess the value of Ang-1/2 in predicting the prognosis of patients with IPF.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted. Ninety-one patients diagnosed as IPF by high resolution CT (HRCT) and lung biopsy admitted to Daqing Oil Field General Hospitalfrom March 2014 to January 2015 were enrolled. The general data, serum parameters and pulmonary function parameters of all patients were collected. After treatment, all of the 91 patients were followed-up to 2 years. The patients were divided into favorable prognosis group and unfavorable prognosis group according to follow-up results. The differences in all parameters between the two groups werecompared. The relationship between Ang-1, Ang-2 and lung function parameters was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to evaluate the effect of clinical parameters on the prognosis of patients with IPF. The effect of Ang-2 in predicting prognosis of patients with IPF was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results During the 2-year follow-up period, 30 of 91 patients showed a favorable prognosis, and 55 showed an unfavorable prognosis with a poor prognosis rate of 64.71%, and 6 patients withdrew from the study due to loss of follow-up and death. Compared with the favorable prognosis group, Ang-2 level in the unfavorable prognosis group was significantly increased (μg/L: 2.88±1.63 vs. 1.89±1.22,t = 2.909,P= 0.005), but Ang-1 only showed a slight increase (μg/L: 28.70±14.26 vs. 25.62±11.95,t = 1.005,P = 0.318). The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that Ang-2 level was negatively correlated with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FVC1) and the percentage of carbon monoxide diffusing capacity accounting for the expected value (DLCO%;r value was -0.227 and -0.206, andP value was 0.147 and 0.253, respectively), but no significant correlation between the level of Ang-1 and FVC1 as well as DLCO% was found (r value was -0.153 and -0.121, andP value was 0.147 and 0.253, respectively). Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis showed that the prognosis of patients with IPF was significantly affected by smoking time and Ang-2 (bothP< 0.05), and the influence of Ang-2 was greater [relative risk (RR): 1.236 vs. 1.006, P= 0.037]. Age, gender, smoking and the levels of FVC1, DLCO% and Ang-1 had no significant effect on the prognosis of IPF patients (allP> 0.05). Prognostic analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of Ang-2 for predicting prognosis of patients with IPF was 0.692, and the best diagnostic point was 0.35μg/L, the sensitivity was 61.8%, the specificity was 73.3%, the positive predictive value was 69.8%, and the negative predictive value was 65.7% which indicated that Ang-2 could predict the prognosis of patients with IPF.Conclusion Ang-2 could assess the prognosis of patients with IPF, which is expected to be used as an indicator of predicting the prognosis of patients with IPF.

Objective To study the effects of decoy strategy targeted to NF-KB on the development of trauma-associated liver inflammation in rats. Methods In this study, 108 Wistar rats were randomized into 3 groups: control group, traumatic inflammation group and traumatic inflammation plus decoy ODN group. Rats were sacrificed on 3,6,12,24,48 and 72hrs in each group respectively. Liver functions and structural changes were examined and compared between the groups. DNA binding activity of NF-KB in liver tissue was measured by EMSA. TNF-α and IL-6 gene expressin in liver tissue was assessed by RT-PCR and TNF-α and IL-6 protein level was determined by ELISA. Results The DNA binding activity of NF-kB in liver rose at 3 hours after induction of liver inflammation following trauma and peaked at 12 hours. Correspondingly, both the mRNA and protein levels of TNF-α and IL-6 elevated significantly, as well as the serum alanine aminotransferase level culminating at 24 hours after surgery. Hepatocytes was edematous, degeneration and necrosis, with dramatic destruction of lobular structures. All these changes were significantly inhibited with NF-KB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides. Conclusions Decoy oligodeoxynucleotides specifically inhibit the activity of NF-kB, and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-6 release from the liver in response to traumatic inflammation decrease, hence the injury on liver structures and functions were alleviated.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the drug resistance of enteric bacilli and its relation to the drug resistance gene cassette in the variable region and molecular evolution of class-I integron.
METHODSK-B assay was applied to measure the drug resistance of E.coli, E.cloacae and A.baumannii isolated against twelve antibiotics. The class-I integron and drug resistance gene cassettes in the variable region of the integron were detected by PCR and sequencing of amplification products. The molecular evolution of drug resistance genes in the class-I integrons was analyzed using Clustal X and MEGA software.
RESULTS54.2%-100% of A.baumannii isolates were resistant to the penicillin and cephem antibiotics, while E.coli and E.cloacae isolates had resistance rates of 41.6%-62.5% to cephem antibiotics. 62.5%(15/24) of E.coli, 67.9%(19/28) of E.cloacae and 83.3%(20/24) of A.baumannii isolates were positive for class-I integrons. 81.5% (44/54) of class-I integrons showed 4 different single band spectrums and the other class-I integrons displayed 3 different double band spectrums. In the drug resistance gene cassettes in variable regions of class-I integrons there were 7 types in 4 groups of drug resistance genes, including aac(6'), sad(3"), aad(2"), cat(4') and dfr (types 7, A13 and 15), which induced the resistance to aminoglycosides and sulfamido antibiotics and chloromycin. The class-I integrons in the isolates might be divided into 4 molecular evolution groups according to the diversity of dihydrofolate reductase encoding gene sequences.
CONCLUSIONThe enteric bacilli have a high drug resistance and frequently carry class-I integrons with 7 drug resistance gene cassettes which present 4 different evolutionary pathways.
