A novel H17N10 subtype of the influenza A viruses was found in bats in 2012. Protein sequence and structural analyses revealed that the HA17 and NA10 proteins of this strain are different from corresponding ones in known influenza A subtype viruses. Both HA17 and NA10 proteins cannot bind to sialic acid,which indicates that they may have novel functions. This article briefly describes the state of current research into the H17N10 subtype of bat influenza A virus.

Influenza poses a great threat to life and health in populations worldwide. Studies regarding the protein components of influenza viruses will facilitate the research and development of vaccines and diag nostic reagents. The influenza virus contains both structural and non-structural proteins. From the outset, it has been accepted that an influenza A virus possesses eight gene segments that encode eight corresponding viral proteins, respectively. Research has demonstrated that the M gene encodes the M2 ion channe! protein and the NS gene encodes the non-structural protein, NS2. In recent years, several novel viral proteins have been identified from influenza A viruses. This article will briefly describe the state of current research into PA-related proteins of influenza A viruses.

OBJECTIVE:To obverse the efficacy and safety of Liuwei dihuang pill combined with TCM prescription acupoint application in the treatment of type 2 diabetic constipation. METHODS:120 patients with type 2 diabetic constipation were random-ly divided into control group(60 cases)and observation group(60 cases). All patients received controlling blood pressure and regu-lating blood lipids drugs,diet control combined with exercise,and fixed dose of Metformin hydrochloride tablet(0.5 g/times,2 times a day)and Acarbose tablet(100 mg/times,3 times a day);based on it,control group received 5 mg Mosapride citrate tablet, 3 times a day;observation group additionally received 8 Liuwei dihuang pills(3 times a day)combined with TCM prescription acu-point application (in double Tianshu Point,double Yongquan point,double Shenque Point and double Zusanli). 7 d was regarded as a treatment course,and it lasted 3 courses. Clinical efficacy,blood glucose [2 h postprandial glucose(2 h PG),blood glucose (FPG)],the clinical symptom indexes(defecation interval time,each defecation time,weekly defecation frequency)before and af-ter treatment,and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than in control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in the 2 h PG,FPG,defecation interval time,each defecation time and weekly defecation fre-quency between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,2 h PG and FPG in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and obser-vation group was lower than control group;defecation interval time and each defecation time were significantly shorter than before, and observation group was shorter than control group;weekly defecation frequency was significantly higher than before,and obser-vation group was higher than control group,The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). During treatment,6 patients showed adverse reactions in control group,and 5 in observation group,and there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Liuwei dihuang pill combined with TCM priscription acupoint ap-plication shows good efficacy in the treatment of type 2 diabetic constipation. It can effectively improve constipation,reduce defeca-tion interval time and each defecation time,increase weekly defecation frequency and have no influence on blood glucose control with small adverse reactions and high safety.

Objective To probe the reasons of failure of caged cervical intervertebral fusion and define the indications, operative techniques and short term results of the revision surgery. Methods Twenty-seven cases of caged cervical fusion were revised. The indication for fusion was cervical disc herniation in four cases and cervical spondylotic mylopathy in 23 cases. Of the 27 cases, there were 8 single levels, 15 double levels, 4 three levels. The intervals from revision to primary fusion were 2-25 months, 10.3 months in average. Patients presented discomfort (22 cases) and local pain of neck and shoulder (9 cases) or paralysis (19 cases) preoperatively. JOA grade was mean 11.6 points before revision. Radiographic examination showed the mean lordosis loss was 7.1 mm, the mean interbody height loss was 3.9 mm. 24 patients presented kyphosis. Occluded neighboring cages were found in multilevel cases. Nonunion was founded in 6 cases, unstable in 9 cases, compression still existed in 19 cases. Removal of cages and then decompression, bone grafting and anterior plating fixation were performed in 23 cases (29 cages). 16 patients underwent further posterior fixation. Posterior revisions underwent in another 4 cases (9 cages), including laminectomy and reshaping the lordosis and lateral mass screw plating fixation. Results All the cases were followed-up from 4 to 26 months, 11.7 months in average. The local symptoms released in 81% patients. Nerural deficit symptoms improved in 58% patients. Mean JOA grade was 14.2 points after revision. In 23 cases of anterior approach revisions, 17 cases obtained bone healing within 3 months, while 6 cases got delayed union. The kyphosis was corrected, and the intervertebral height increased 3 mm in average. There were no nerural impaction or failed internal fixation. Conclusion Deficient decompression, sinking of the cage into the cancellous bone of the vertebral body and subsequent kyphosis and bone graft nonunion consist of the main causes for revision surgery. The indications of revision are aggressive neurologic symptom, unstable or deformity of the cervical spine. Cage removal, completely decompression, bone grafting and secure fixation are major steps of revision procedure. In case of more than 3 fusion levels, further posterior fixation is advised.
