Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the main causative agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). This article presented the inhibitory activity of pentapeptides on the EV71 infection in rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) and suckling mice. The EV71 VP1 capsid protein expression levels and mRNA levels were analyzed by Western blotting and real-time PCR. The antiviral activity of pentapeptides in vivo was evaluated by weight changes and EV71 VP1 protein expression levels in intestines of suckling mice. Results revealed that the pentapeptide P010157 was able to inhibit EV71 replication in RD cells. After being incubated with the P010157 at a concentration of 100 microg x mL(-1) for 48 h, the level of EV71 vp1 mRNA in RD cells decreased by (92.0 +/- 6.3)%. The estimated EC50 was 2.2 microg x mL(-1). P010157 was able to inhibit EV 71-induced cytopathic effect (CPE) in RD cells. The cytotoxic activity of the compound was evaluated against RD cells by MTS assay. The results showed that P010157 had no obvious toxicity. In addition, the treated mice with P010157 did not exhibit weight loss, as was observed in untreated mice. EV71 replication reduced significantly as revealed by Western blotting. These findings suggest that P010157 could prevent EV71 proliferation in vitro and in vivo. P010157 is a novel compound for antiviral therapies against EV71, which merited further investigation.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for strengthening the cultural construction and promoting the cultural develop-ment of TCM in Chongqing. METHODS:Questionnaire was adopted to investigate the status quo and cognition of some citizens, staffs in medical and health institutions for the cultural construction of TCM in public TCM medical and health institutions above Grade Two in Chongqing,and the data was statistically analyzed. RESULTS:Totally 45 questionnaires were sent out for TCM med-ical and health institutions,45 were effectively received with effective recovery of 100%;3 500 were sent out for the citizens,2 250 were effectively received with effective recovery of 64.29%;1 100 were sent out for the staffs in TCM medical and health institu-tions,702 were effectively received with effective recovery of 63.82%. In terms of cultural construction in surveyed institutions,or-ganization,principles and unit markings carried out a relatively high proportion in the core cultural soft power construction,the de-velopment of behavioral norms system carried out a relatively low proportion;and the proportion was higher in the hardware envi-ronment construction. In terms of the cognition of surveyed citizens for the TCM culture,62.98% believed in TCM;the first rea-son for choosing TCM was its less side effects(24.76%);89.42% thought it was necessary to keep in good health. In terms of the cognition of surveyed staffs for the cultural construction of TCM,81.91%thought the TCM culture was taken seriously in their hos-pital;60.54% showed great satisfaction with the cultural construction of TCM;only 23.08% was very familiar with the concept of TCM core values;the surveyed staff thought the main problems in the cultural construction of TCM were lack of facilities (69.09%)and talent personals(44.59%). CONCLUSIONS:The organization,principles,unit markings and facilities in Chongq-ing TCM medical and health institutions are taken seriously,while the behavioral norms system needs to be strengthened;the citi-zens’cognition for TCM culture should to be improved,as well as the staffs’TCM cultural awareness in TCM medical and health institutions.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical expression in 8 cases with synchronous occurrence of digestive tract cancer and GIST. Methods Clinical and pathologic data of 8 out of 70 cases of GIST coexisted with gastrointestinal cancer were recorded, and immunohistochemical stain ( Envision method) was used to detect the expressions of CD117, CD34 ,Vimenlin etc. Results In 8 cases of GIST (4 benign, 3 borderline, 1 malignant) coexisted with GI carcinoma, of which 6 cases featured the simultaneous occurrence of GIST and adenocarcinomas (5 cases in slomach and 1 case in colon) , whereas the other 2 cases associated with squamus cell carcinoma of esophagus. In 4 cases, tumors arose from the same organ, in the other 4 cases they developed from different sites of digestive tract. In all of the cases two kinds of neoplasms were developed in different areas without any connection, preoperative endoscopy and biopsy showed adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinoma, but histologic and clinical diagnosis of coexisted tumors were not achieved in any case. All GIST expressed Vimentin and CD34; 7 cases expressed CD117; 2 cases were focally positive for S-100 protein and 1 each for SMA and Desmin. Conclusion The simultaneous occurrence of epithelial tumor and GIST in digestive tract is not less than that usually expected, in clinical practice we should pay much attention on the diagnosis of this entity. Endoscopic biopsy conjugated with profound inspection during operation and pathological examination of specimen postoperatively can improve the possibility of early diagnosis.

Every stage of tumor initiation and development closely relates to immune regulation as tumor cells tend to evade attacks from immune system by employing the programmed death 1 (PD-1)/ programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) interaction.Therefore,targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway has become an attractive approach for cancer immunotherapy.Radiotherapy has long been considered a local tumor treatment modality and it is immune-inhibitory.However,accumulated evidence has shown that radiotherapy might enhance immune function by eliminating the tumor mass and has become a systemic tumor treatment modality.These observations indicate a strong rationale that the radiotherapy and anti-PD1 and anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy may work synergistically to provide a powerful anti-tumor effect.This review discusses current progresses,challenges and perspectives of this novel combination treatment modality.
