Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2023;36(12):1455-1464
Objective To investigate the infection effects of different strains(Prototype,Delta,Beta,and Omicron BA. 1)of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)on transgenic mice K18-hACE2 expressing angiotensinconverting enzyme 2(ACE2)by nasal drip.MethodsMice were challenged with each strain of different gradients of doses by nasal drip,which were monitored for body mass and survival daily for 6 d in Beta group and 14 d in the other three groups. The median lethal dose(LD_(50))was calculated by IBM SPSS Statistics 26 analysis software,and the virulence of different SARS-CoV-2 strains were compared by detection of the viral nucleic acid loads of lung,brain and turbinate tissues and the lesion of lung tissues.ResultsBeta strain showed the strongest virulence and the highest lethality,and the lowest dose(1 CCID_(50))was 100% lethal with a LD_(50)less than 1 CCID_(50);The LD_(50) of Delta,Prototype and Omicron BA.1 strains were 0. 52,0. 60 and 52. 92 CCID50respectively. The copy number of viral nucleic acid in lung tissue of mice infected with different strains elevated with the increase of challenge dose,and the copy number of viral nucleic acid in brain tissue of dead mice reached 10~8~ 10~(11) copies/mL. The lung tissues of mice infected with different strains of different doses showed different degrees of pathological damage.ConclusionThe virulence of different SARS-CoV-2 strains in K18-hACE2 mice from high to low were Beta,Delta,Prototype and Omicron BA.1.

The key words of“infectious atypical pneumonia, sequela, femoral head necrosis, bone ischemia, etiology, infectious atypical pneumonia virus, conservative treatment, operation treatment, total hip replacement”in English and Chinese were put in the title and abstract to search articles. A total of 872 articles were screened out after primary retrieval, and eventual y 56 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Severe acute respiratory syndrome sequela, femoral head necrosis, was related with the dose and duration of hormone, patient’s sensitivity to hormone, using method, the secretion of leptin and bone calcitonin, and also infectious atypical pneumonia virus. The femoral head necrosis caused by the above factors can be treated with conservative treatment to slow down the process of femoral head necrosis and delay prosthesis replacement. Eventual y, most of the patients wil receive surgical method. For the treatment of advanced severe acute respiratory syndrome sequelae femoral head necrosis, prosthesis replacement can get the best effect.
