As one of the major sources of infection, viruses could infect all organisms including bacteria, plants, animals, and humans. Infectious diseases caused by viruses pose a great threat and damage to human health and economic activities all over the world. Adaptor-associated protein kinase 1 (AAK1) is a member of the Ark1/Prk1 family of serine/threonine kinases and a specific key kinase regulating the phosphorylation of AP-2 protein μ2 subunit T156. In the past, AAK1 has been regarded as a feasible biological target for the treatment of nerve pain. Recently, scientists have found that inhibiting AAK1 can regulate endocytosis and inhibit virus invasion into cells. Therefore, AAK1 could be the potential target of anti-virus therapy. This paper reviews the research progress of small molecule AAK1 inhibitors in the field of antiviral, analyzes the future research directions and challenges, and provides new ideas for the development of antiviral drugs targeting AAK1.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the perioperative complications of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.

METHODSFrom June 2009 to December 2011, 63 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture underwent PKP, there were 18 males and 45 females with an average age of 75.3 years ( ranged, 62 to 91). All patients with severe back pain and without neurological symptoms and signs, which were confirmed by X-ray and MRI. Among them,there were 63 cases with severe osteoporosis, 37 cases with hypertension, 10 with coronary artery disease, 29 with anemia, 26 with diabetes, 11 with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and 8 with gastritis and peptic ulcer. The common perioperative complications were retropectively reviewed.

Objective: To explore the acute effect of air pollution on mortality for patients with cardio cerebral vascular disease and to provide the basis for disease prevention and control.
Methods: The Mortality for patients with cardio cerebral vascular disease from 2001-01 to 2009-12 was from Tianjin Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the meteorological and air pollution data were from Tianjin meteorological bureau and Tianjin environmental monitoring station respectively. The Single and multiple generalized additive model (GAM) extended poisson regression analysis was performed to calculate the relationship between air pollution and cardio-cerebral vascular disease mortality by controlling the time trends, weather, the day of week and air population.
Results: Results: Single GAM analysis indicated that when the effect of SO2, NO2 and PM10 in the air reached the maximum in the day, the RR values for the mortality in patients with cardio-cerebral vascular disease increased 1.13%[95%CI (0.76-1.51)%], 0.78% [95%CI ( 0.41-1.15)%] and 0.61% [95%CI ( 0.51-0.71)%] respectively; when the average concentration of SO2, NO2 and PM10 increasing 10μg/m3 per day, after 0-5 days, the RR values for the mortality elevated 0.70% [95%CI (0.47-0.94)%], 0.51% [95%CI (0.27-0.74)%] and 0.16% [95%CI (0.06-0.27)%] respectively. Multiple GAM analysis presented that when SO2, NO2 and PM10 increasing 10 μg/m3 per day, the RR values for the mortality elevated 0.77% [95%CI (0.58-0.97)%], 0.41% [95%CI (0.05-0.78) %] and 0.38% [95%CI (0.12-0.64%)%] respectively.
Conclusion: The air pollution could increase the mortality risk in patients with cardio-cerebral vascular disease, it is necessary to establish the prevention system in order to decrease the mortality risk in those patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of 13-hexyl-berbefine hydroehlofide (HB-13) and 13-hexyl-paimatine hydrochloride (HP-13) on the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) and phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in a human keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT stimulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Methods HaCaT cells were cultured in the presence of various concentrations (0.39, 0.78, 1.56 μg/mL) of HB-13 or HP-13 for 120 minutes followed by the stimulation with recombinant human TNF-α for 120 minutes (in phosphorylatEd-IkB-α test) or 15 minutes (in phosphorylated-p38 test). Then, HaCaT cells were disrupted, total protein was extracted, and the expressions of phosphorylated I B-α and phosphorylated p38 were detected with Western blot. HaCaT cells receiving neither pretreatment nor stimulation served as blank control, untreated HaCaT cells stimulated by rhTNF-α as stimulator control, and HaCaT cells pretreated with turmeric root tuber and stimulated by rhTNF-α as positive control. Results From 0.39 to 1.56 μg/mL, both HB-13 and HP-13 significantly inhibited the expression of p-IkB-α in HaCaT cells stimulated by rhTNF-α, and a nonsignificant dose-dependent trend was observed for their inhibitory effect, with the ICo value being 0.441 μg/mL for I-IB-13 (r = -0.990, n = 3, P > 0.05) and 0.832 μg/mL for HP-13 (r = -0.992, n = 3, P > 0.05). In contrast, neither 1-113-13 nor HP-13 within the experiment concentration range had a significant effect on the expression of p-p38 in HaCaT cells stimulated by rhTNF-α (P > 0.05). Conclusions Within the experimental concentration range, both HB-13 and HP-13 can inhibit the activation of NF-kB in HaCaT cells induced by TNF-α signal, but neither of them suppress the phosphorylation of p38MAPK induced by TNF-α signal in HaCaT cells.
