OBJECTIVE To re-evaluate Bifidobacterium from microecological point of view. METHODS With the development of microecology,it is paid more and more attention to the medical field.The genesis and development of diseases were closely related with microbe imbalance.As a kind of common microbial population in intestinal tract,Bifidobacterium are one of the most important sources for the exploitation of microecological preparation.Bifidobacterium were re-evaluated by the reference review method. RESULTS This review is focused on the current situation,bioactivity,clinical application,and prospective of Bifidobacterium. CONCLUSIONS Bifidobacterium have good application prospects.

Cerebral fat embolism (CFE) combined with pulmonary fat embolism (PFE) is an extremely rare and serious complication after fat injection. In order to improve the understanding of the mechanism of this complication, this article reported the diagnosis, treatment and pathological results of a patient with CFE and PFE after facial autologous fat injection. A 34-year-old female underwent an injection of autologous fat in her right cheek at another institution in March 2021 and developed into a coma. 1.5 hours later, she was taken to the Emergency Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University. CT revealed a massive infarction in the right cerebral hemisphere and bilateral acute pneumonia. The patient was treated with dehydration, anti-infection, anticoagulation and microcirculation improvement in the intensive care unit. But the patient died due to the critical condition. Postmortem autopsy and histopathological examination, revealed ischemic stroke with hemorrhagic transformation, and pulmonary embolism with acute pneumonia. It was speculated that the fat embolus passed through the damaged main trunk or branch of the right facial artery, and then retrograde to the right external carotid artery, common carotid artery and internal carotid artery to cause middle cerebral artery occlusion. At the same time, the embolus returned to the right atrium along with the accompanying vein of the above artery, and reached the pulmonary vascular bed through the pulmonary circulation, resulting in pulmonary embolism. Plastic surgeons should have extensive knowledge with the anatomical structure of facial blood vessels, master the injection techniques, and improve the awareness of fat embolism when performing facial fat transplantation.

Objective To overcome the limitations of existing human respiratory syncytial virus(hRSV)animal models,such as semi-permissiveness and short duration of infection,this study established an IL2rg gene knockout(IL2rg-/-)rat model using TALEN gene editing technology.Methods The animal model was infected with hRSV intranasally.Clinical characteristics,body weight,and temperature changes were observed over the infection period(0~35 days).The total viral loads in respiratory organs,such as the nasal tissue,trachea,and lungs,were measured at various time points(4,11,20,and 35 days post-infection).Pathological analysis was conducted on target organs at the endpoint of observation(35 days post-infection).Changes in peripheral blood T,B,NK,and NKT cells and various cytokines were assessed at various time points(4,20,and 35 days post-infection).Results(1)IL2rg/-knockout rats sustained high viral loads in the nasal cavity upon intranasal inoculation with hRSV.The average peak titer rapidly reached 1 × 1010 copies/g in nasal tissue and 1 × 107 copies/g up to 5 weeks post-infection.(2)However,no significant pathological changes were noted in nasal,tracheal,or lung tissues.(3)An increase was observed in the content of peripheral blood B cells in hRSV-infected IL2rg--rats.(4)IL-6 and MCP-1 were increased in the early stage of infection and then decreased at the end of the observation period.Conclusions This study established a new IL2rg-/-rat model using TALEN technology and found that this model effectively supported high-level replication and long-term infection of hRSV,providing a good basis for antiviral drug screening and in vivo efficacy evaluation of anti-hRSV antibodies.
