Objective To study the effect of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) on expressions of K8 and K18 in duct epithelial cells of salivary gland. Methods The expressions of immediate early antigen of HCMV, K8 and K18 were detected by immunohistochemistry staining in tissues embedded in paraffin of parotid cytomegalic inclusion disease(PCID). Results Cytomegly bearing inclusion appeared in duct epithelium of PCID. DDG9/CCH2 antigen of HCMV was expressed in cytomegly bearing inclusion. K8 was negative in these cytomegly while K18 was intensively positive. Conclusion It is suggested that breaking down of K8 be induced in parotid duct epithelial cells infected by HCMV and that up-regulation of K18 may be a reactive change. Keratin network in simple epithelium functions to impart mechanical integrity to cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of soothing liver and activating blood Chinese medicine on myocardial cell apoptosis and related gene expression of BMSCs transplanting on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of rats;To discuss its mechanism of protecting myocardium. Methods Model of myocardial IRI was established in rats. BMSCs were isolated, cultivated, and transplanted in IRI rats. SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, IRI group, BMSCs group, and combined group. Rats in combined group received gavage with soothing liver and activating blood Chinese medicine, while rats in other groups received gavage with the same dose of normal saline. After 4 weeks, myocardial cell apoptosis, Bcl-2, and Bax protein expression in myocardial cells were detected by TUNEL method and immunohistochemical method. Results Compared with IRI group, myocardial cell apoptosis index in the combined group and BMSCs group was lower, Bax expression decreased, Bcl-2 expression significantly increased (P<0.01);Compared with BMSCs group, myocardial cell apoptosis index in the combined group was lower;Bax expression decreased, Bcl-2 expression increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Soothing liver and activating blood Chinese medicine can inhibit BMSCs transplantation in IRI rat myocardial cell apoptosis, promote myocardial regeneration, and protect myocardial cells.

To express Pleurocidin in Escherichia coli and to enhance the secretory efficiency of the fusion protein, the gene encoding Pleurocidin was ligated with Cherry DNA sequence via blunt-end ligation. Then this fusion gene was cloned into pET22b (+) vector and the recombinant plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). Lactose was used to induce expression of fusion protein. The recombinant plasmid pET22b (+) -CP was successfully constructed and high-level expression of fusion protein was induced with lactose. Statistics showed that addition of glycine after 16 h of induction significantly enhanced the secretory efficiency of the fusion protein. After hydrolysis of the fusion protein by diluted hydrochloric acid and some further purification steps, r-Pleurocidin was obtained with antibacterial activity against E. coli DH5α and Bacillus subtilis BS168. In conclusion, the fusion protein was expressed in E. coli and biologically active r-Pleurocidin was obtained after hydrochloric acid cleavage and purification.

Objective To observe the effects of intervention of soothing liver and activating blood Chinese medicine on cardiac function and myocardial pathologic morphology of BMSCs transplanting on myocardial IRI of rats, and investigate its myocardial protection mechanism. Methods Model of myocardial IRI was established by coronary artery ligation in rats. SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, IRI group, BMSCs group and combined group. Rats in combined group were filled the stomach with soothing liver and activating blood Chinese medicine, and rats in other groups were filled the stomach with the same dose of normal saline. After 4 weeks, myocardial pathologic morphology was observed with light microscope. Cardiac function was detected with ultrasonic cardiogram.Results Compared with BMSCs group, heart function of the combined group improved, with significant statistical difference (P<0.05,P<0.01). Pathological observation showed that myocardial structure and pathological morphology were obviously promoted in the combined group.Conclusion Soothing liver and activating blood Chinese medicine could improve heart function and myocardial pathological morphology of IRI rats with BMSCs transplantation.

Tacrolimus exhibits varied individual pharmacokinetic and a narrow therapeutic window, resulting in difficulties in personalized medication.In order to improve the safety of tacrolimus in clinical application and its efficiency and rationality in clinical practice, many countries and regions in the world have issued a number of guidelines for tacrolimus application.However, these guidelines generally aim at particular disease and race, and have certain limitation.In this article, the guidelines were explicated and analyzed in detail.Moreover, an individual tacrolimus medication recommendation for Chinese population was summarized based on the latest research of tacrolimus pharmacogenomics and therapeutic drug monitoring so as to provide assistance for the rational use of tacrolimus.

Objective To understand the clinical features of hepatic tuberculosis. Methods The clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, treatment, and prognosis of a case of hepatic tuberculosis were analyzed. Similar cases were identified from PubMed database during the period from 2013 to 2017 using search terms "Liver/Hepatology/Hepatic Tuberculosis". The clinical data of the identified patients with hepatic tuberculosis were reviewed and analyzed. Results The 16-year-old male patient presented with cough and abdominal distension. His sputum was positive for acid-fast bacillus. CT showed low-density spaceoccupying lesions. After anti-tuberculosis treatment, the lesion disappeared. Hepatic tuberculosis was finally considered, which was caused by disseminated tuberculosis. Literature search identified 63 similar cases. In summary, the 64 cases(containing this one)included 38 males and 26 females with age from 11 months to 77 years. Tuberculosis in other site or underlying disease was found in 39 cases. The main clinical manifestations were fever(51.6％), abdominal pain(50.0％), weight loss(31.2％), loss of appetite(25.0％), tiredness/weakness(21.9％), and nausea/vomiting(20.3％). Low-density space-occupying lesions were the main features on CT image. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological and/or bacteriological testing in 59 patients. Five patients were diagnosed after diagnostic anti-tuberculosis treatment was effective. Overall, 36 patients were cured, 19 improved, and 3 died.Conclusions The clinical symptoms of hepatic tuberculosis are atypical. Imaging combined with histopathological examination of the liver is the preferred method for diagnosis of hepatic tuberculosis. Anti-tuberculosis treatment and timely surgical treatment is usually effective with good outcomes.

Objective To understand the clinical features of splenic tuberculosis. Methods The clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, treatment outcomes of a case of splenic tuberculosis caused by hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis were analyzed. Related literatures about splenic tuberculosis were also reviewed. Results The patient was a 19-year-old male. Cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss were the main manifestations. Thoracoscopy revealed tuberculosis and imaging suggested splenic tuberculosis and tuberculosis in multiple body sites. Anti-tuberculosis treatment was effective in improving patient conditions. According to literature review, there are two types of splenic tuberculosis: primary splenic tuberculosis or as part of hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis.The clinical manifestations of primary splenic tuberculosis are usually atypical. Immune deficiency is a significant risk factor of splenic tuberculosis. The main clinical manifestations of splenic tuberculosis are splenomegaly, fever, digestive system symptoms, and occasionally spontaneous splenic rupture (3/32). Most of the patients with splenic tuberculosis (28/32) were cured or improved by anti-tuberculosis treatment and/or splenectomy. Conclusions The onset of splenic tuberculosis is mostly insidious and clinical symptoms usually atypical. The diagnosis relies on radiographic findings, biopsy and pathological examination. Anti-tuberculosis and selective splenectomy are the effective treatment. The outcome of splenic tuberculosis is good in most patients.

Premature infants with younger gestational age are more susceptible to a variety of risk factors, such as ischemia, hypoxia, infection and inflammatory damage.These risk factors will lead to white matter damage and cause neurological sequelae.In recent years, multimodality MRI such as diffusion weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy and susceptibility weighted imaging have developed rapidly, which provide evidence not only for the location and nature of brain damage, but also for the pathophysiology, tissue blood supply, cell metabolism.This review summarizes the application of multimodality MRI in premature infants with white matter damage.

Objective To investigate the changes of coagulatory function in septic rats induced by cecal ligation and puncture(CLP). Methods Cecal ligation and puncture(CLP)were performed to induce sepsis in SD rats. Coagulation indexes were detected at 8,16 and 48 h after operation, and histopathological changes of the lung, kidney, liver and spleen were examined using HE staining. Results The 12-day survival rate of the CLP-induced septic rats was 30%,with an acute onset and high mortality. In the acute phase of disease development of the CLP rats, the activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)was prolonged(P<0.05)at 8 h,the prothrombin time(PT)was prolonged at 16 h (P<0.05), the factor XII activity in the endogenous coagulation pathway and the factor VII activity in the extrinsic coagulation pathway showed a transient inhibition, the thrombin time(TT)was prolonged at 48 h(P<0.01), and the content of fibrinogen(FIB)was increased gradually from 16 h(P<0.001). Among the other important coagulation and anticoagulation indexes,the number of platelets(PLT)was decreased gradually from 8 h(P<0.01),while the number of vWF:Ag increased gradually from 8 h(P<0.001). The D-dimer amount gradually increased from 16 h(P<0.05),and the amount of PS:Ag significantly decreased until 48 h(P<0.001). However, there was no significant change in the antithrombin-III(AT-Ⅲ)content. The histopathological examination showed that there are different degrees of damages in the lung,kidney,liver and spleen tissues,but no obvious venous thrombosis and bleeding were found. Conclusions In the acute phase,there is coagulatory dysfunction in the septic rats,however,no histopathological changes such as venous thrombosis and bleeding were observed in the lung,kidney,liver and spleen tissues due to coagulatory dysfunction.
