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.

In this study, we explored the mechanism of Huganning tablet (HGNP) in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) based on network pharmacology and computer-aided drug design. Firstly, the potential ingredients and targets of HGNP were identified from TCMSP database, Swiss Target Prediction database, Chinese pharmacopoeia (2015) and literatures, and then the targets of HGNP intersected with NAFLD disease targets that obtained in GeneCards database to acquired potential targets. The bioconductor bioinformatics package of R software was used for gene ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. The network of “potential ingredient-key target-pathway” was formed in Cytoscape software to study the interactions between potential ingredients of HGNP, key targets, pathways and NAFLD. Based on the results of network pharmacology, the molecular docking analysis of the key targets and potential active ingredients in HGNP tablets with top degree in the network was conducted using Discovery Studio 2020 software, followed by molecular dynamics simulations, binding free energy calculation, drug-likeness properties analysis and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) properties prediction.

Aim To construct a subtracted cDNA library o f differentially expressed genes in human gastric carcinoma induced by diallyl dis ulfide(DADS). Methods Differentially expressed cDNA species induc ed by DADS in MGC 803 human gastric carcinoma cell line was determined by using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH). Then these cDNA species were direct ly inserted into T/A cloning vector to set up the subtractive library. Amplification of th e library was carried out with transformation of E.coli by high voltage electrop erforation. One hundred positive bacteria clones were randomly picked and identi fied using PCR method. Results The amplified library contained more than 1,000 positive bacteria clones. Random analysis of 100 clones with PCR m ethod showed that all clones contained 100~600 bp inserts.Conclusions A subtracted cDNA library of differentially expressed genes in MGC 803 hum an gastric carcinoma cell line induced by DADS is constructed successfully with SSH and T/A cloning techniques. The library is efficient and lays solid foundati on for screening and cloning new and specific tumor correlative genes of human g astric carcinoma, and provides a new idea for further exploring the mechanism of DADS effects on carcinoma cells.

To investigate the high-risk factors for newborn hearing loss and to provide information for preventing the development of hearing loss and delaying its progression, from May 2003 to June 2006, neonates who failed to pass the universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) were referred to Jinan Newborn Hearing Screening and Rehabilitation Center from 7 newborn hearing screening centers in seven cities of Shandong province. One-to-one pair-matched case-control method was employed for statistical analysis of the basic features of definitely identified cases. High-risk factors relating to the bilateral hearing loss were evaluated by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Our results revealed that 721 transferred newborns who didn't pass the hearing screening received audiological and medical evaluation and 367 were confirmed to have hearing loss. Of them, 177 neonates with hearing loss who met the matching requirements were included in the study as subjects. Univariate analysis showed that high-risk factors related to hearing loss incuded age of father, education backgrounds of parents, parity, birth weight, gestational weeks, craniofacial deformity, history of receiving treatment in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), neonatal disease, family history of otopathy and family history of congenital hearing loss. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that 4 independent risk factors were related to bilateral hearing loss, including parity (OR=16.285, 95% CI 3.379-78.481), neonatal disease (OR=34.968, 95% CI 2.720-449.534), family history of congenital hearing loss (OR=69.488, 95% CI 4.417-1093.300) and birth weight (OR=0.241, 95% CI 0.090-0.648). It is concluded that parity, neonatal disease and family history of hearing loss are the promoting factors of bilateral hearing loss in neonates and appropriate intervention measures should be taken to deal with the risk factors.

Aim To investigate the effects of diallyl di-sulfide( DADS) on G2/M arrest in Chk1/MGC803 and Chk2/MGC803 cells so as to establish stable human gastric cancer MGC803 cells with overexpression of Chk1/2 gene. Methods The colony formation, flow cytometry, RT-PCR and Western blot were used to de-tect the proliferation, cell cycle, and expression of Chk1/2 mRNA and protein, p-Chk1/2, CDC25C and cyclinB1, respectively. Results The colony formation showed that the colony forming efficiency in Chk1/MGC803 and Chk2/MGC803 cells treated by 30 mg· L-1 DADS was lower than in control group and vector group ( P <0. 05 ) . Flow cytometry demonstrated that 41. 3%, 57. 4%, 68. 9% and 42. 9% of G2/M cells in Chk1/MGC803 were increased than in MGC803 and Chk2/MGC803 , respectively after treated by DADS in 12,24, 36 and 48 h(P <0. 05). At the same time, RT-PCR disclosed that expression of Chk1 and Chk2 mRNA had no marked change. Western blot showed that total proteins of Chk1 and Chk2 and p-Chk2 had invisible change, but expression of p-Chk1 was up-reg-ulated, and CDC25C and cyclinB1 were down-regula-ted time-dependently in Chk1/MGC803 cells ( P <0. 05 ) . Conclusion DADS arrests MGC803 cells at G2/M by increasing p-Chk1 expression to cause down-regulation of CDC25C and cyclinB1 simultaneously.

Objective To observe the long term effects of arthroscopic knee debridement and reconstructing operation for treating osteoarthritis in patients with Kaschin-Beck disease. Methods Thirty-one cases of patients with Kaschin-Beck disease were followed for 6 years after operation of articular clearing by arthroscope. Index of pain, symptoms of self-evaluation, range of motion, walking distance, standing test by affected leg when bending at 30° or 60° were recorded and compared with the preoperative results. Results Twenty-four cases were followed up for 6 years. Six years after operation the pain index(3.38 ± 2.87) was dramatically decreased compared to that before operation (6.88 ± 1.45, t = 5.30, P < 0.05). Patients symptoms markedly improved by subjective self-evaluation was 70.83% (17/24), the effective rate was 100% (24/24). The number of cases that could stand up when leg bending at 30° or 60° were 21,18 cases, respectively, compared with that of preoperative of 14, 11 cases, respectively, the difference was statistically significant(x2 = 5.17,4.27, all P < 0.05). Six years after operation the walking distance(3 cases < 1 km, 11 cases 1 - 5 km and 10 cases > 5 km) were greatly improved compared to the results before operation (12 cases < 1 km, 9 cases 1 - 5 km and 3 cases > 5 km, U = 2.88, P <0.05). Six years after operation the knee activity[(132.25 ± 14.52)°] remained at the same level, compared with that of preoperative [(131 .58 ± 14.68) °], the difference was not statistically significant (t = 0.16, P > 0.05) .Conclusions The method of arthroscopic joint debridement to cure Kaschin-Beck disease knee osteoarthritis can significantly reduce pain, improve function and walking distance, with more stable long-term satisfactory outcome.
