2.The significance of electron microscopy in the etiological diagnosis of respiratory tract infection
International Journal of Pediatrics 2021;48(1):6-8
At present, electron microscopy has played a more and more important role in the field of medicine.It is often used in the ultrastructure observation of various systems, mechanism research and clinical diagnosis of diseases.The role of electron microscopy in the etiological diagnosis of respiratory tract infection cannot be ignored, but its related review is less.By using electron microscopy, the morphological characteristics of respiratory tract pathogens can be accurately observed and the new respiratory tract infection pathogens can be classified and screened.In addition, through the combination of samples with patients′ serum and observation of immuno-electron microscopy, the host response to pathogens can also be understood.However, due to the high equipment requirements, technical difficulties, complex operation and other factors, electron microscopy is rarely used in conventional etiological diagnosis, and more used in laboratory basic research.In this paper, the advantages, disadvantages and significance of electron microscopy in the etiological diagnosis of respiratory tract are reviewed.

Objective:A study was conducted to investigate the effect of Prunella vulgaris sulfated polysaccharide (PVSP) on the expression of angiogenic growth factors (bFGF, VEGF, and IL-8) and angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods:ELISA as-say was used to observe the effects of PVSP and the negative control drug Lentinan (LNT, non-sulfate radical drug) on secretions of the angiogenic growth factors, namely, bFGF, VEGF, and IL-8, in HepG2 cells in vitro. In an in vivo experiment, the microvessel density in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue sections treated with PVSP and LNT was calculated, analyzed, and compared with the microvessel den-sity in the phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) control. Results:Compared with the PBS control group, PVSP at 200μg/mL inhibited bF-GF secretion (P<0.01), whereas LNT failed to affect bFGF secretion. Neither PVSP nor LNT affected the secretions of VEGF and IL-8. In vivo results showed that PVSP at 200 mg/kg reduced the microvessel density in tumor tissue sections (P=0.03), whereas LNT at 10 mg/kg failed to affect microvessel density. Conclusion:Inhibition of bFGF secretion is a probable mechanism underlying the preven-tive effect of PVSP on hepatocellular carcinoma angiogenesis.

In order to identify host factors which interact with the movement protein (MP) of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), ACLSV MP was cloned into the bait vector pGBKT7 and used to screen a cDNA library of Malus sylvestris cv. R12740-7A, which had previously been constructed by yeast two-hybrid sequencing transformation. The protein functions of the identified host factors were determined according to their gene annotations in GenBank. The result showed that the bait plasmid pGBKT7-MP showed no virulence or self-activating effect on yeast strain Y2H Gold. Sixty-nine interactor proteins were identified, which were divided into the following 10 classes according to their described functions: hydrolases; pathogenesis-related proteins; DNA binding proteins; phosphatases; ligases; proteins with catalytic activity; phenylalanine ammonialyases; peroxidases; NAD binding proteins; and proteins of unknown function. Bioinformatic analysis of gene homology suggested that phosphatases, pathogenesis-related proteins and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase A may play an important role in the interaction between virus and host. This study may provide a theoretical basis for the further study of viral pathogenesis and virus-host interaction mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of lead exposure on the permeability,secretion and transportation function of blood-cerebro-spinal fluid barrier (BCB)of rats in order to provide the theo-rical basis for elucidating the mechanis m of lead induced neurotoxicity.MEHTODS 60 SPF SD rats were rando mly divided into 4 groups,including a control group and three doses lead exposed groups. Rat in the lead exposure groups were given drinking water containning 0.05%,0.1 % and 0.2% lead acetate (at dose of 80,160,320 mg·kg -1 )for 8 weeks.Laser scanning confocal microscopy was uti-lized to determine the lead content in seru m,cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)and choroid plexus sa mples. Morris maze was used to test learning and me mory.Fe moral artery perfusion of Evans blue (EB)and fluorescein sodiu m (NaFI)was performed to measure BCB permeability function.Confocal laser scan-ning was applied to detect junction adhesion molecule (JAM)and occludin protein expression in choroid plexus.ELISA was used to measure the concentration of transthyretin (TTR)and leptin in seru m and CSF.RESULTS The lead content in seru m,choroid plexus and CSF significantly increased,especially the lead level in CSF.Morris water maze data showed that escape latency of rat in lead acetate 160 and 320 mg·kg -1 group were 52 ±12,(89 ±19)s,respectively,longer than that of control group 〔(28 ±7)s, P<0.05〕.The ti mes across platform of rats in lead acetate 160 and 320 mg·kg -1 group were lower than that of control group(P <0.05).The NaFI content in CSF of rats in all lead acetate exposure groups were 0.94 ±0.09,1 .02 ±0.03 and (1 .08 ±0.18)mg·L -1 ,respectively,and were higher than those of control group〔(0.74 ±0.04)mg·L -1 〕;While the EB content in CSF of rat in lead acetate 160 and 320 mg·kg -1 group were higher than the control group(P <0.05),which indicated that lead acetate exposure at low dose can lead to the increase of permeability of BCB.Laser scanning confocal micro-scope i mages showed that the JAM protein expression of choroid plexus in lead acetate 160 and 320 mg·kg -1 group were 44.9% and 42.9% of the control group.Sa me decline was seen in terms of occludin expression.The TTR content of CSF of rats in lead acetate 80 mg·kg -1 group was (32.3 ± 1 1 .7)ng·g -1 protein,lower than that of the control group,and the difference was significant.This decline was also noted in lead acetate 160 and 320 mg·kg -1 group.The data of TTR in CSF suggested that the low dose lead acetate exposure can disrupt the BCB secretion function.The leptin levels in CSF of lead acetate 160 and 320 mg·kg -1 group were lower than that in the control group (P <0.05 ). CONCLUSION Lead exposure did disrupt the permeability,transportation and secretion function of BCB.Our data suggest that BCB dysfunction might be involved in the mechanis m of lead induced neurotoxicity.

Objective To investigate the phenotype and the immunoregulatory function of CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells in peripheral blood samples from mice.Methods The distribution profile and the phenotype of CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells in C57BL/6 mice were detected by flow cytometry.The cytokines released by CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells upon the stimulation with anti-CD3 antibody were analyzed by cytometric bead array.The in vitro immunosuppressive activity of CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells on activated CD4+T cells was analyzed by using flow cytometry and carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester ( CFSE ) .An adoptive cell transfer assay was set up to evaluate the immunoprotective effects of CD8αα+TCRαβ+ regulatory T cells in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis ( EAE) .Results CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells were detected in liver, spleen and peripheral blood samples collected from na?ve C57BL/6 mice.Compared with CD8αβ+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells, CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells showed a memory-activated phenotype of CD25+CD122high CD44high CD62Llow CD69high NK1.1+DX5+.CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells could produce IL-2 after 24 hours stimulation with anti-CD3 antibody, followed by producing IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4, IL-17A and traces of IL-6 and IL-10. In vitro, CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells specifically suppressed the proliferation of activated CD4+T cells ( P<0.01 ).Moreover, they could delay the onset of EAE in mice and reduce clinical score (P<0.01).Conclusion CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells were a unique population with immunoregula-tory function, which could be used as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of autoimmune disease.
