This study is to establish a cell-based model targeting to neuraminidase (NA) of the 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus. NA is an influenza virus structural protein with enzymatic activity of the cleavage of HA-sialic acid interaction to release new viral particles from cells. A model of HIV-1 (pNL4-3.Luc.R(-)E(-)) based pseudovirions packed with HA [hemagglutinin, A/VietNam/1203/2004 (H5N1)] and NA [A/California/04/2009 (H1N1)] was established to evaluate compounds activities on NA function. The viral release can be blocked by neuraminidase inhibitors, oseltamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate, with IC50 of (61 +/- 31) nmol L(-1) and (5.5 +/- 2.9) nmol L(-1) respectively. A point mutation of H275Y on NA leads oseltamivir-resistance. This corresponding mutation was introduced into the system which was also confirmed by oseltamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate.

This study is to investigate the mechanism and action characteristics of 6-chloro-3-methyl-4-(2-methyoxycarbonylthiophene-3-sulfonyl)-3, 4-dihydroquinoxa-lin-2-(1 H)-one (XU07011) against HIV-1 replication. XU07011 anti-HIV activity was tested by using VSVG/HIV pseudotype viral system and confirmed by HIV-1 live viruses' infectious assay. Time of addition was used to test HIV-1 reverse transcription process. RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity and RNase H activity were tested by using enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay and fluorescence method. Wild type and nine NNRTIs-resistant reverse transcriptase enzymatic models and cell-based pharmacological models were used to evaluate XU07011 bio-characteristics. The results showed that XU07011 inhibited HIV-1 replication with IC50 of (0.057 +/- 0.01) micromol x L(-1) which was comparable to nevirapine [IC50: (0.046 +/- 0.01) micromol x L(-1)]. Mechanism study data indicated that XU07011 blocked HIV-1 reverse transcription process through acting on reverse transcriptase RNA-dependent DNA polymerase with IC 50 of (1.1 +/- 0.3) micromol x L(-1). The compound showed no effect on RNase H activity. XU07011 exhibited better activities comparing with nevirapine on K103N mutated NNRTIs-resistant HIV-1 strains. This study could provide a theoretical basis for novel anti-HIV reagents development.

Disease-centered problem-based learning (PBL) integrated course inspires the thinking of medical students in the case scenario to stimulate students' motivation of active learning. In this paper, the study of diabetes cases was taken as an example. Through the design of PBL cases, the scenario was reconstructed and information was provided step by step, so as to induce the students to discuss and learn the related knowledge of glucose metabolism and understand the predisposing factors of diabetes. Furthermore, students' critical thinking could be inspired through the information of the misdiagnose and mistreatment to recognize the clinical presentation and inducement of diabetic ketoacidosis. This teaching model is conducive to the cultivation of medical students' questioning spirit and critical thinking, laying a foundation for the cultivation of innovative medical talents.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for early acute lung injury (ALI) after living-related liver transplantation in pediatric patients and evaluate the value of the risk factors in prediction of ALI.Methods:Perioperative data of patients were obtained through the electronic medical records system. Patients were divided into non-ALI group and ALI group according to whether ALI occurred within the first week after surgery. The risk factors of which P values were less than 0.05 would enter the multiple logistic regression analysis to stratify ALI-related risk factors. Area under the ROC curve was used to analyze the value of the risk factors in prediction of postoperative ALI. Results:A total of 67 patients were enrolled, including 45 cases in non-ALI group and 22 cases in ALI group. Increased intraoperative blood transfusion volume and up-regulated expression of miR-122 and miR-21 were independent risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative ALI ( P<0.05), and the area under the ROC curve (95% confidence interval) of serum miR-122 and miR-21 expression was 0.946 (0.875 to 1.00), with sensitivity and specificity of 95% and 90%, respectively. Conclusions:Increased intraoperative blood transfusion volume and up-regulated expression of serum miR-122 and miR-21 are independent risk factors for early postoperative ALI, and serum miR-122 and miR-21 levels have a high value in prediction of the development of postoperative ALI in pediatric patients undergoing living-related liver transplantation.

Objective To study the effect of miR-146a on hepatic INSR gene expression in F1 offspring of paternal rats with high-glucose-high-fat diet ( HGFD) . Methods 5-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into normal diet ( ND) and HGFD groups. Male rats with ND or HGFD feeding for three months mated with normal female ones. Blood glucose concentration, glucose tolerance, and insulin tolerance in newborn male offspring rats were detected respectively. Differential miRNAs between ND and HGFD groups were compared using next generation sequencing and were then confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR ( qPCR) . The relative expression of INSR mRNA and the methylation level of INSR promoter in liver tissues of the offspring newborn rat were detected and the correlations between them and the relative expression of differential microRNA were analyzed respectively. In vitro, effects of miR-146a on expression and methylation of INSR gene in BRL-3A cells were detected using Western-blot assay and qPCR respectively. Results The fasting glucose concentration of different groups were without significant difference, but glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance of neonatal male rats in HGFD group were decreased significantly . Next generation sequencing has revealed 45 up-regulated miRNAs and 15 down-regulated miRNAs in HGFD group. Among them, differences of 8 miRNAs expression in the enlarged samples were confirmed by qPCR. miR-146a was up-regulated for more than 10 times in the liver of the offspring of HGFD group. Expression level of miRNA-146a was negatively correlated with the relative expression of INSR and positively correlated with the methylation level of INSR in livers of neonatal rats in HGFD group. In vitro, miR-146a ( mimics ) promoted the methylation of INSR gene and inhibited the expression of INSR in BRL-3A cells. Conclusion HGFD feeding to male SD rats leads to the inhibition of hepatic INSR gene expression in neonatal offspring via upregulating miR-146a.
