Homeostasis between the host and viruses is naturally maintained.On the one hand,the immune system activates the immune re-sponse to kill or eliminate viruses;on the other hand,the immune system controls the immune response to maintain immune homeostasis. The cause of persistent infections with hepatitis viruses such as HBV and HCV is that viral molecules damage the immune system of the host and their variants escape immune clearance.Long-term coexistence of the host and viruses is the process involving various immune cells and molecules and is the result of homeostasis maintenance in antiviral immune response.The immune homeostasis maintained during persis-tent infections with hepatitis viruses is analyzed by the cellular and molecular mechanisms.

Objective To discuss the effect of health education to family members of patients with chronic heart failure. Methods 150 patients with family members as accompanies were divided into the observation group and the control group with 75 patients in each group. Health education was given to patients as well as their family members in the observation group, while health education was given only to the patients in the control group. The mastering of disease-related knowledge by family members of the observation group was observed after 15 days. The rehospitalization of the two groups by telephone follow-up was carried out six months after discharge. Results The mastering of disease-related knowledge by family members of the observation group was better compared with before health education. The rehospitalization rate of the observation group was 13.3%, which was lower than 44.0% of the control group. Conclusions Health education to family members of patients with chronic heart failure can increase treatment effect of patients, decrease disease relapse and lower rehospitalization rate.

Objective To investigate the effects of apoptosis and related gene p21WAF1 and Bcl-2 in the tumorigenesis of primary gallbladder neoplasms. Methods p21WAF1 and Bcl-2 were detected by immunohistochemistry and apoptotic cells were stained in situ by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated-dUTP nick end labeling(TUNAL) in 46 cases of primary gallbladder neoplasms with different histological grades. Results Apoptotic index and p21WAF1 were decreased,but the expression of Bcl-2 was increased with the increasing of the histological grades in primary gallbladder neoplasms (P

Flavonoid naringin is widely distributed in various types of plants and is an important component of herbal Drynaria. In previous studies, Drynaria has been demonstrated to have inhibitory effects on inflammatory responses and bone destruction and exert anabolic effects on bone, has been widely used in the clinical treatment. Naringin, was in the stage of experimental yet. The experimental results have confirmed that naringin suppressed inflammation including arthritis by lowering the expression of inflammatory cytokines, and the mechanism can be explained as reducing the expression of NF-κB. Naringin has been shown to increase osteoblast proliferation by increasing the expression of BMP-2, inhibit osteoclast activity by reducing the expression of RANKL. In animal experimental, naringin was useful for osteoporosis, and the mechanisms are in-depth studies. Research in the field of traditional Chinese medicine and orthopedics, naringin as a explicit material structure in the components of Drynaria, has been concerned about the experimental studies, it is not only prosperity the development of traditional Chinese medicine research,but also ready for clinical studies anti-inflammatory and bone effects of naringin in the future.

Objective To summarize the value of early mechanical ventilation plus continuous vacuum suction in treatment of serious pulmonary contusion.Methods Forty-eight cases of severe pulmonary contusion were assigned to mechanical ventilation plus continuous vacuum suction (observation group,n =20) and mechanical ventilation plus discontinuous vacuum suction (control group,n =28)according to the random number table.Modes of mechanical ventilation were synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV),pressure support ventilation (PSV),and positive and expiratory pressure (PEEP).Changes in blood gas analysis,mechanical ventilation time,and associated complications were compared between groups.Results At ventilation time of 6 and 24 hours,PaO2 in observation group was (100.36 ± 5.90) mmHg and (105.34 ± 7.40) mmHg respectively,with significant differences from (75.36 ± 8.95) mmHg and (76.36 ± 8.35) mmHg in control group (P < 0.01).At ventilation time of 24 hours,PaO2/FiO2 was (283.50 ± 15.20) mmHg in observation group and (201.50 ± 10.20) mmHg in control group (P <0.01).Mechanical ventilation time and PEEP at ventilation time of 48 hours in observation group was (3.2 ± 1.1) days and (4.5 ± 2.3) cmH2 O,with significant differences from (6.5 ± 2.8) days and (8.5 ± 2.5) cmH2O in control group (P < 0.01).Associated complications of the two groups revealed no significant difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion Early mechanical ventilation with sustained vacuum suction is effective to keep airway clear,improve oxygenation index,decrease PEEP level,and control the duration of mechanical ventilation,but may not lower the risks of ventilator-associated pneumonia and pulmonary atelectasis.

In recent years,stem cell transplantation for the treatment of ischemic stroke has become a hot topic.However,since embryonic stem cells (ESCs) transplantation is limited by the ethics and law,stem cell research was once in trouble.Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a class of cells by introducing the specific transcription factors into somatic cells,which have the similar characteristics with ESCs,and also avoid the ethical issues and immunological rejection,making them become the most ideal replacer of ESCs.Although the current research on iPSCs has made some progress,their induction efficiency and safety issues remain to be resolved.This article reviews the status quo,mechanisms,and problems faced in clinical practice for iPSCs transplantation in the treatment of ischemic stroke.

With the development of medical education,the traditional cell biology teaching modes and methods need constant adjustment to adapt to the current teaching.In view of the present high-speed development of cell biology,we seriously picked some representative themes to carry out thematic teaching.Students were encouraged to read some references about the corresponding content and thought primarily before the class.After the lesson,the teacher guided students to discuss and find the answers to the questions they asked before.Participation in class discussion and homework completion accounted for 10% of the final assessment results.The thematic teaching helped to optimize classical teaching contents and frontier progress.This teaching mode not only stimulated learning interest but also fully exercised learning ability.
