Objective To analyze the hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection status and the molecular characteristics of HEV isolated from pregnant women in Zhejiang Province.Methods Totally 98 236 serum samples collected from pregnant women during the year 2013 to 2015 were tested for HEV IgM by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and samples positive for IgM were detected for nucleic acid of HEV by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The whole gene of HEV open reading frame 2 (ORF2) was further amplified and the prevalence was analyzed in nucleic acid-positive samples.Results Three hundred and fifty-two out of 98 236 serum samples were tested positive for HEV IgM,with positive rate of 0.36%.All the samples were simple positive of HEV IgM except for two samples co-infected with hepatitis B virus.HEV specific nucleic acid fragments were detected positive from three serum samples.Further phylogenetic analysis revealed that all the three HEV isolates in this study belonged to HEV genotype 4.Three isolates did not cluster in one branch,although they shared high nucleic acid homology and more than 97 % of amino acid homology.Variations were found significantly between sample sequence and other published HEV 4 isolates,including two variable regions found in the ORF2 gene (1-460 nucleotide and 620-870 nucleotide).However,the synonymous and non-synonymous substitutions rates in the two regions were similar,and neutral selection was the main evolutionary pressure.Conclusions HEV infection rate in pregnant women of Zhejiang Province is similar with the published data.The HEV isolates obtained in this study belong to genotype 4 with high variation rate.

Objective To investigate the role of phosphatidylinositol 3?kinase∕protein kinase B∕glycogen synthase kinase?3β ( PI3K∕Akt∕GSK?3β) signaling pathway in hydrogen?induced inhibition of neuronal ap?optosis induced by focal cerebral ischemia?reperfusion ( I∕R) in rats. Methods One hundred and twenty
healthy adult male Sprague?Dawley rats, weighing 200-220 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=24 each) u?sing a random number table: sham operation group ( group S); cerebral I∕R group ( group I∕R); hydrogen group (group H2); LY294002 (specific PI3K inhibitor) group (group LY); LY294002+hydrogen group ( group LY+H2 ) . Focal cerebral I∕R was induced by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery for 1 h followed by 24 h reperfusion. In H2 and H2+LY groups, the animals inhaled 67% H2+33% O2 for 2 h starting from onset of reperfusion, and then inhaled H2 for 2 h every 6 h. In LY and LY+ H2 groups, LY294002 ( 10 mmol∕L) 10 μl was injected into the lateral cerebral ventricle at 10 min before reperfusion. Neurologic defi?cit was evaluated and scored ( NDS) at 24 h of reperfusion. The rats were then sacrificed, and the brains were removed for measurement of the cerebral infarct size ( by TTC staining) and apoptosis in cortical neu?rons ( by TUNEL) and for determination of the expression of Akt in the ischemic cerebral cortex, phospho?rylated Akt ( p?Akt) , GSK?3β and phosphorylated GSK?3β ( p?GSK?3β) and Bcl?2 and Bax positive cell count in the ischemic cerebral cortex ( by immuno?histochemistry) . The apoptosis index ( AI) , p?Akt∕Akt ratio and p?GSK?3β∕GSK3?β ratio were calculated. Results Compared with group S, the NDS, cerebral infarct size, AI, p?Akt∕Akt ratio, p?GSK?3β∕GSK?3β ratio and Bax positive cell count were significantly increased, and the Bcl?2 positive cell count was significantly decreased in group I∕R ( P<0?05) . Compared with group I∕R, the NDS, cerebral infarct size, AI and Bax positive cell count were significantly de?creased, and the p?Akt∕Akt ratio, p?GSK?3β∕GSK?3β ratio and Bcl?2 positive cell count were significantly increased in group H2 ( P <0?05) , and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned a?bove in LY and LY+H2 groups ( P>0?05) . Compared with group H2 , the NDS, cerebral infarct size, AI and Bax positive cell count were significantly increased, and the p?Akt∕Akt ratio, p?GSK?3β∕GSK?3βratio and Bcl?2 positive cell count were significantly decreased in group LY+H2 ( P<0?05) . Conclusion The mechanism by which hydrogen inhibits focal cerebral I∕R?induced neuronal apoptosis is associated with the activation of PI3K∕Akt∕GSK?3β signaling pathway in rats.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of 18 F?FDG PET/CT imaging for primary pul?monary lymphoepithelioma?like carcinoma (LELC). Methods A total of 19 patients (10 males, 9 fe?males;average age 56.4 years) with suspected primary pulmonary LELC undergone whole?body 18F?FDG PET/CT and chest contrast CT scan were enrolled in this retrospective study. The SUVmax and uptake pat?terns of FDG, the histological types and the clinical stages were recorded. Image characteristics of contrast CT and FDG PET/CT were observed, and the diagnostic efficiency was calculated. Two?sample t test and one?way analysis of variance were used to analyze the results. Results The diagnostic sensitivity and spe?cificity of LELC were 12/13 and 4/6 for FDG PET/CT. The SUVmax of LELC lesions was significantly differ?ent from that of other lung malignant tumors or lung benign lesions (F=3.67, P<0?05). The lesion had longer diameter, lower CT density, higher SUVmax in stage Ⅳ patients, compared with that in stageⅠ-Ⅲpatients ( F=7.01, P<0.05) . The significant difference of SUVmax was found between lesions with ring up?take and lesions with other uptake types (3.94±0.67 vs 2.86±0.35; t=4.07, P<0?05). The SUVmax was higher in Schmincke tumors when compared with that in tumors of Regaud subtype ( 3. 61 ± 0. 71 vs 2. 76 ± 0?29; t=2.99, P<0.05) . Conclusion 18 F?FDG PET/CT could be an accurate method in differential diag?noses of primary pulmonary LELC.
