ObjectiveToobserve the regulating effect of acupuncture at Fengchi (GB20) and extraordinary points on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-aand endothelin (ET) in hypertension.MethodTotally 150 patients with hypertension were randomized into two groups at a ratio of 1:1.In the control group, 75 subjects were intervened by acupuncture at bilateral Fengchi; in the treatment group, 75 subjects were intervened by acupuncture at bilateral Fengchi plus extraordinary points. The needles were manipulated once every 10 min duringthe 30-min session. The treatment was given once per day, 2 weeks as a treatment course. ResultDuring the intervention, the TNF-aand ET contents were decreased significantly in the treatment group (P<0.05); the TNF-aand ET contents were also decreased in the control group but without statistical significance (P>0.05). After 1 treatment course, the TNF-aand ET contents were decreased significantly in the treatment group (P<0.05); the TNF-aand ET contents were insignificantly decreased in the control group (P>0.05); there was a significant difference in comparing the TNF-aand ET contents between the two groups (P<0.05). There were also significant differences in comparing the TNF-aand ET contents inhypertension of various degrees between the two groups (P<0.01). The results showed that the TNF-aand ET contents in patients intervened by acupuncture at Fengchiand extraordinary points were lower than that in those intervened by acupuncture at Fengchialone, i.e. combination of Fengchi and extraordinary points produces a significant effect on regulating TNF-aand ET contents.Conclusion Acupuncture at Fengchi and extraordinary points can produce a more significant effect than acupuncture at Fengchi alone on regulating TNF-aand ET in patients with hypertension.

Objective:To analyze of the transmission characteristics of a cluster of COVID-19 cases in Chongqing and evaluate the infectivity of COVID-19 in the incubation period.Methods:A retrospective survey was conducted by using unified questionnaire through field and telephone interviews among 129 close contacts of COVID-19 cases. The relationship of transmission was indicated by transmission chain, and the infectivity was analyzed by the contact history.Results:This cluster of COVID-19 cases occurred after a classmate party involving members in three families and work fellows in a factory ( R0=3.8). The infection rate during the incubation period was 17.57%. On average, it was infectious three days before onset. There was significant difference in infection rate among different contact modes ( χ2=15.10, P<0.01), There was significant difference in infection rate among single exposureswith different time length ( χ2=25.08, P<0.01). Conclusions:COVID-19 is highly infectious in the incubation period. The more confined the space is, the higher the risk is,and the longer the single exposure is, the higher the risk of transmission is. Indirect contact transmission still exists

Objective To discuss the efficacy and safety of endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery for sympatomatic Rathke' s cleft cysts.Methods The clinical manifestations, imaging features, surgical methods, pathology features, postoperative complications, postoperative recurrence and outcomes of 24 patients with Rathke's cleft cysts, admitted to our hospital from January 2007 to December 2014, were reviewed retrospectively.Results Total resection was achieved in 0 patient and subtotal resection was achieved in 24 patients.In the 16 patients with headache, 4 got relief and 12 achieved cure.In the 9 patients with hypopsia, 3 recovered to normal, 5 got improvement and one enjoyed no obvious changes.In the 21 patients with endocrine function disorder, 2 recovered to normal, 2 got improvement and one had transient diabetes insipidus.One patient appeared transient diabetes insipidus.Nine patients had transient decreased thyroid hormones, and those patients with progesterone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, growth hormone and prolactin disorders recovered to normal;one patient got postoperative recurrence and accepted surgery for the second time.Conclusion Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery is a rational choice for sympatomatic Rathke' s cleft cysts, which can effectively perform the cyst drainage and resection of the capsule wall, enjoying small trauma, safety and low postoperative recurrence rate.

This study aimed to explore the mechanism of how African swine fever virus (ASFV) I226R protein inhibits the cGAS-STING signaling pathway. We observed that I226R protein (pI226R) significantly inhibited the cGAS-STING-mediated type Ⅰ interferons and the interferon-stimulated genes production by dual-luciferase reporter assay system and real-time quantitative PCR. The results of co-immunoprecipitation assay and confocal microscopy showed that pI226R interacted with cGAS. Furthermore, pI226R promoted cGAS degradation through autophagy-lysosome pathway. Moreover, we found that pI226R decreased the binding of cGAS to E3 ligase tripartite motif protein 56 (TRIM56), resulting in the weakened monoubiquitination of cGAS, thus inhibiting the activation of cGAS and cGAS-STING signaling. In conclusion, ASFV pI226R suppresses the antiviral innate immune response by antagonizing cGAS, which contributes to an in-depth understanding of the immune escape mechanism of ASFV and provides a theoretical basis for the development of vaccines.

In order to understand the prevalence and evolution of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in China and to develop subunit vaccine against the epidemic lineage, the genetic evolution analysis of PRRSV strains isolated in China from 2001 to 2021 was performed. The representative strains of the dominant epidemic lineage were selected to optimize the membrane protein GP5 and M nucleotide sequences, which were used, with the interferon and the Fc region of immunoglobulin, to construct the eukaryotic expression plasmids pCDNA3.4-IFNα-GP5-Fc and pCDNA3.4-IFNα-M-Fc. Subsequently, the recombinant proteins IFNα-GP5-Fc and IFNα-M-Fc were expressed by HEK293T eukaryotic expression system. The two recombinant proteins were mixed with ISA206VG adjuvant to immunize weaned piglets. The humoral immunity level was evaluated by ELISA and neutralization test, and the cellular immunity level was detected by ELISPOT test. The results showed that the NADC30-like lineage was the main epidemic lineage in China in recent years, and the combination of IFNα-GP5-Fc and IFNα-M-Fc could induce high levels of antibody and cellular immunity in piglets. This study may facilitate the preparation of a safer and more effective new PRRSV subunit vaccine.
