BACKGROUND:Schwann cells transplantation can change the local micro-environment and help to repair the injured neural tissue, so getting a large number of highly purified and active Schwann cells is the key of the study. OBJECTIVE: To search for a simple and rapid method to extract and purify the Schwann cells.METHODS: Rats were divided randomly into two groups, namely, in vivo pre-degeneration of sciatic nerve resection group and untreated control group, with 20 rats in each group. Under sterile conditions, the rat sciatic nerves were cut off at post-operative 7 days, Schwann cells were extracted by using mixed enzyme digestion and tissue mass transplantation; through low enzyme digestion and twice inoculation to differential adhesion, Schwann cells were purified. Cell morphology was observed under phase contrast microscope and identified by mmunofluorescence staining; cell purity was calculated; MTT method assay was used to determine the capacity of cell proliferation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 7 days of the culture, the experimental group showed the typical bipolar or bipolar Schwann cells, with connections between cells; in control group, cell processes were shorter and less associated with the surrounding cells. Following S-100 immunofluorescence staining, cells were positive for green expression.Cells proliferated rapidly in the experimental group and formed a swirling shape at 15 days, there were a relatively small number of fibroblasts, at the purity of 96.1%; in the control group, the cells proliferated slowly, with many fibroblasts at a low purity. MTT assay showed that primary cultured Schwann cell proliferated weakly in both groups; compared with the control group, the proliferation of subcultured Schwann cells in the experimental group was markedly increased (P < 0.05 or 0.01), and reached a peak 3 4 days later. The results confirmed that in vivo denaturing, in vitro hybrid enzyme digestion, tissue mass transplantation combined with low enzyme digestion, separation of double-differential adhesion of Schwann cells is a simple and rapid method to extract and purify Schwann cells.

Journal of Veterinary Science 2021;22(3):e39-
Background:
Interferon lambda receptor 1 (IFNLR1) is a type II cytokine receptor that clings to interleukins IL-28A, IL29B, and IL-29 referred to as type III IFNs (IFN-λs). IFN-λs act through the JAK-STAT signaling pathway to exert antiviral effects related to preventing and curing an infection. Although the immune function of IFN-λs in virus invasion has been described, the molecular mechanism of IFNLR1 in that process is unclear.
Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the role of IFNLR1 in the pathogenesis and treatment of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV).
Methods:
The effects of IFNLR1 on the proliferation of porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) during PRRSV infection were investigated using interference and overexpression methods.
Results:
In this study, the expressions of the IFNLR1 gene in the liver, large intestine, small intestine, kidney, and lung tissues of Dapulian pigs were significantly higher than those in Landrace pigs. It was determined that porcine IFNLR1 overexpression suppresses PRRSV replication. The qRT-PCR results revealed that overexpression of IFNLR1 upregulated antiviral and IFN-stimulated genes. IFNLR1 overexpression inhibits the proliferation of PAMs and upregulation of p-STAT1. By contrast, knockdown of IFNLR1 expression promotes PAMs proliferation. The G0/G1 phase proportion in IFNLR1-overexpressing cells increased, and the opposite change was observed in IFNLR1-underexpressing cells. After inhibition of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, the G2/M phase proportion in the IFNLR1-overexpressing cells showed a significant increasing trend. In conclusion, overexpression of IFNLR1 induces activation of the JAK/STAT pathway, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of PAMs infected with PRRSV.
Conclusion
Expression of the IFNLR1 gene has an important regulatory role in PRRSVinfected PAMs, indicating it has potential as a molecular target in developing a new strategy for the treatment of PRRSV.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors for perioperative lung surgery patients with SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron variant infection. Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent lung surgery at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from December 1, 2022 to January 9, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into an infection group and a non-infection group according to whether they were infected with SARS-CoV-2. And the clinical data of two groups were collected and compared. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors affecting the time of hospitalization. Results A total of 70 patients were enrolled in this study, including 36 (51.4%) males and 34 (48.6%) females at a median age of 61.0 (49.0, 66.8) years. There were 28 patients in the infection group and 42 patients in the non-infection group. The proportion of preoperative abnormal coagulation function and the risk of postoperative pulmonary infection in perioperative patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 were higher than those in the non-infection group (P<0.05). Subgroup analysis found that patients with preoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection were more likely to have pulmonary infection after surgery, but did not prolong the time of hospitalization or increase the risk of severe disease rate. The patients with postoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection had worse clinical prognosis, including longer time of hospitalization (P=0.004), higher ICU admission rate (P=0.000), higher lung infection rate (P=0.003) and respiratory failure rate (P=0.000). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender and extent of surgery were independent risk factors for prolonged hospitalization time. Conclusion Preoperative infection with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant will increase the risk of pulmonary infection, but it will not affect the clinical prognosis. However, postoperative infection with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant will still prolong the time of hospitalization, increase the ICU rate, and the risk of pulmonary complications.
