Human cytomegalovirus(HCMV)infection is quite prevalent in population. HCMV triggers important disorders in pregnant women,immune-compromised individuals and organ-transplant patients. For dec-ades,more and more scholars believe that NK cells are important immune cells against HCMV. The activity of NK cells largely depends on the balance between the signals transducted by inhibitory receptors and activatory re-ceptors,therefore the study of NK receptors is of great importance. It may be helpful to the basic research and clinical treatment of HCMV infection. Here,this paper reviews the changes and the molecular mechanism of NK receptors in the control of HCMV infection.

Objective:To establish an ion chromatography method for the determination of methane sulfonic acid in betahistine me-sylate and evaluate the uncertainty in the measurement. Methods: An ion chromatographic column IonPac AS11-HC ( 25 mm × 4. 0 mm,5 μm) was used with 12 mmol·L-1 NaOH as the eluent and an electrical conductivity detector with the suppressor of 30 mV. Results:The results showed that methane sulfonic acid could be detected without any interference. The calibration curve was linear within the range of 10-30 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 9)and the LOQ was 0.116 μg·ml-1. The average recovery was 100.8% (RSD=1. 2%, n=9). Based on the results of experiments, the influencing factors of uncertainty in the measurement were quantitatively eval-uated. The expanded uncertainty was obtained. Conclusion:The method is simple, accurate and selective. It can be used for the de-termination of methane sulfonic acid in betahistine mesylate. Based on the evaluation of uncertainty, the analysis can help reduce the uncertainty in the measurement and improve the accuracy and reliability of the determination.

Objective To identify new serum biomarkers of lung adenocarcinoma.Methods Serum samples from 31 patients with lung adenocarcinoma and 31 healthy individuals were applied to SAX-2 protein chips to generate proteomic spectra by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(SELDI-TOF-MS).The spectra were analyzed with Ciphergen Biosystems software and biomarker patterns software.Results The software identified 102 peaks and m/z 14 022.9 and 3 735.99 were used to construct the classification tree.The classification tree separated adenocarcinoma of lung effectively from healthy individuals,achieving a validity of 100%.The blind test challenged the model with a sensitivity of 100%and a specificity of 100%.Conclusions The results suggest that SELDI-TOF-MS technique can distinguish lung adenocarcinoma patients from healthy individuals and shows great potential for the development of a screening test for the detection of lung cancer.

The aim of the present research was to investigate and analyze the hunting intentions of medical students for rural grassroots in Gansu and to provide a reference for decision-making on rural health human resource . A questionnaire is the research tool which was used to investigate the views of the senior students from six medical schools , and we studied their employment willingness to rural healthcare institutions .Chi-square test and non-condi-tional logistic regression analyses were used for data analysis .A sample of 600 medical graduates was involved in this investigation.The results of this study show that more than a half (55.6%) of the students would like to work in ru-ral, but only 13.8%of which were “very willing” to work at the rural healthcare institutions .According to the out-comes of this investigation , the number of junior college students who would like to work at the grassroots was 2.3 times the number of the undergraduate students .Medical students whose monthly salary expectations were not high ,with the household registration in rural areas , and having a better understanding of the policy of rural grass-roots em-ployment were more likely to work at the rural healthcare institutions .Based on the findings of this investigation , it can be concluded that the grassroots medical career intention of medical students is not only influenced by its own fac -tors, such as education and household registration , but also the policy of the government , school employment guid-ance and social atmosphere play an important role .The above-mentioned factors should be considered by decision-making and management departments of public healthcare .The departments should introduce a reasonable recruit-ment policy and strengthen the construction of grass-roots medical technology , equipment , and infrastructure , im-prove the grass-roots of employment environment and career development opportunities and strengthen the medical students'employment guidance work to make medical students more willing to work at rural healthcare institutions .

Objective To explore the non-bacteria pathogens of acute laryngitis in children. Methods The clinical data and sputum sample were collected from 325 patients hospitalized due to acute laryngitis in consecutive 10 years from January 2006 to December 2015 . The multiple non-bacteria pathogens were detected and analyzed with clinical data. Seven types of respiratory viruses were detected by direct immunolfuorescence. Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP), and Boca virus (HBoV) were detected by lfuorescence quantitative PCR. The rhinovirus (HRV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) were detected by RT-PCR. Venous blood was collected within 24 h after hospitalization and 7-10 d after treatment. The MP antibody of IgG and IgM were detected by ELISA. Results The detection rate of non-bacteria pathogens was 46 . 2%in 325 children with acute laryngitis ( 150/325 ), including 76 cases ( 23 . 4%) of virus and 99 cases ( 30 . 5%) of MP. Virus detection rate in 1-3 year old children was obviously higher than in 0-1 year old children and over 3 years old children (χ2?=?9 . 527 , P=?0 . 009 ). With the increase of age, the detection rate of MP increased gradually (χ2?=?10 . 132 , P=?0 . 006 ). The detection rates of RSV and hBoV were higher in under 3-year-old children. The detection rates of virus in winter and spring were signiifcantly higher than those in summer and autumn (χ2?=?5.064, P=?0.024). The detection rates of MP in winter, spring, summer, and autumn was 13.1%, 25 . 0%, 38 . 2%, and 44 . 9%respectively, and the MP detection rates were increased gradually over seasons (χ2?=?4 . 438 , P=?0 . 035 ). The detection rate of RSV was higher in winter, and hBoV was higher in summer. Conclusion Acute laryngitis mainly occurred in children under 3-years-old children, and the detected non-bacteria pathogens were different among different ages and seasons. Virus was the major pathogens in young children, while MP was more common in older children.

Objective To explore the level of expression, clinical signiifcance of sB 7-H 3 in the bronchoalveolar lavage lfuid (BALF) of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) pneumonia (RMPP) in children and the relationship between sB7-H3 and various cytokines. Methods The BALF of forty-three hospitalized children with RMPP (RMPP group) were collected for the diagnosis and treatment. Thirteen cases were lavaged only once and the other thirty cases had collected the BALF twice. The BALF of iffteen hospitalized children with bronchial foreign body were collected as control group. The expression levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF at the acute phase were compared with control group and the group after treatment. Analyzed the correlation between the level of sB 7-H 3 and IL-1β, IL-2 , IL-36 in the BALF of RMPP children at acute stage. Results The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β and IL-36 in the BALF of the ifrst lavage group were higher than those of single lavage group and control group (all P<0 . 05 ). The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF of single lavage group were higher than those of control group (all P<0 . 05 ). The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 in the BALF of the second lavage group were lower than those of the ifrst lavage group (all P<0 . 05 ).The levels of sB 7-H 3 , IL-2 in the BALF of the second lavage group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0 . 05 ), but the levels of IL-1β, IL-36 in the BALF showed no difference between the second lavage group and the control group (both P>0 . 05 ). The levels of sB 7-H 3 had positive correlation with the levels of IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 (all P<0 . 001 ). Conclusions sB 7-H 3 may control the secretion of IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-36 , and participate in immune response and lung injury after MP infection, which may lead to occurrence and development of RMPP.
