In order to explore the role of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)in the infection process of porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus(PHEV),Western blot,qRT-PCR and indirect immunofluorescence experiments were used to detect the phosphoryla-tion level and subcellular localization changes of STAT3 after PHEV infection.The replication of PHEV were examined in cells with STAT3 knockdown or overexpression,respectively.The results showed the phosphorylation level of STAT3 at tyrosine 705 was significantly increased after PHEV infection,and the expression of STAT3 in the nucleus increased.In addition,STAT3 knock-down in cells can significantly inhibit PHEV replication.The above results further reveal the path-ogenic mechanism of PHEV and provide a theoretical basis for the research of anti-PHEV drugs.

Objective:To investigate the practical value of pancreatic duct bind with supporting tube combined with single-needle suture for pancreaticojejunostomy in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:The clinical data of 65 patients with pancreatic head or periampullary tumors who underwent LPD at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between January 2021 and June 2024 were retrospectively analysed. Among them, 31 were male and 34 were female, aged (57.7±13.3) years. The patients were divided into two groups based on the method of pancreaticojejunostomy: 22 patients who underwent pancreatic duct bind with supporting tube single-needle suture pancreaticojejunos-tomy were included in the study group, 43 patients who underwent traditional pancreatic duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy were included in the control group. The clinical data of the patients, including gender, age, operation time, pancreaticojejunostomy time, and postoperative complications, etc. were recorded.Results:Compared with the control group, the pancreaticojejunostomy time [(25.3±2.4) min vs. (47.0±3.9) min] and operation time [(425.2±52.1) min vs. (453.7±30.8) min] of the study group were both shortened, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the postoperative complication rate between the study group and the control group [18.2% (4/22) vs. 34.9% (15/43), P=0.161]. The incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula in the study group was lower than that in the control group [4.5% (1/22) vs. 30.2% (13/43)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.024). Conclusion:Pancreatic duct bind with supporting tube combined with single-needle suture pancreaticojejunostomy is safe and effective in LPD. Compared with traditional pancreatic duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy, pancreatic duct bind with supporting tube combined with single-needle suture pancreaticojejunostomy has advantages in terms of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula rate, operation time, and pancreaticojejunostomy time.

The SVA and different serotypes of VSV(VSNJV and VSIV)are susceptible to infect pigs and cause blister injuries to the lips and hoof of pigs.The clinical symptoms of diseases caused by these viruses are very similar,which is easy to cause misdiagnosis.Therefore,a multiplex nano-PCR method was developed for the simultaneous defection of VSV,VSNJV and VSIV.In this stud-y,three pairs of specific primers were designed according to the SVA-P gene,VSNJV-N gene and VSIV-N gene.The optimal annealing temperature and optimal primer concentration were tested,and the reaction system and conditions were optimized.We have developed a novel,rapid and sensitive multiple nano-PCR detection method for simultaneous detection of SVA,VSNJV and VSIV,which was developed by using nano-metal materials.The specific test results showed that the method could specifically amplify the target genes of SVA,VSNJV and VSIV,with no cross-reactivity to PRV,ASFV,PCV2 and PHEV.The sensitivity test results showed that the minimum nucleic acid detection of the method was 10 copies/μL,which sensitivity was great.In addition,the optimal primers showed good reactivity and stability to different batches of enzymes and plasmids.There were 7 among 50 of diseased pig samples were SVA positive by multiple nano-PCR detec-tion method,and 5 out of 50 of diseased pig samples were SVA positive by ordinary single PCR method.Moreover,no VSNJV and VSIV were detected by the two methods.In conclusion,this es-tablished multiple nano-PCR detection method has higher specificity and sensitivity in the detec-tion of SVA,VSNJV and VSIV.And this study could provide technical support for the rapid differ-ential diagnosis,prevention and control of swine viral vesicular diseases in clinical settings.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

This study explores the antiviral effects of Lopinavir on porcine hemagglutinating en-cephalomyelitis virus(PHEV)in vitro and in vivo.Using PHEV-infected N2a cells as an in vitro experimental model,the impact of varying concentrations of Lopinavir on PHEV replication was analyzed through Western blot and qRT-PCR techniques.The results demonstrated that Lopinavir was beneficial to PHEV replication at low-concentration,but as the concentration increased,Lopi-navir began to exert an inhibitory effect,with the most pronounced effect observed at a concentra-tion of 8 μmol/L.PHEV-infected 3-week-old male BALB/c mice were utilized in vivo experi-ments,with Lopinavir(10 mg/kg)administered intragastrically three days post-infection.Follow-ing the onset of illness in the control group,all mice were euthanized,and brain tissues were col-lected for histopathological examination.The findings indicated that Lopinavir significantly reduced the distribution of PHEV and ameliorated the pathological damage in brain tissue,and prolonged the survival time of the mice.In conclusion,Lopinavir exhibits an antiviral effect against PHEV both in vitro and in vivo,offering a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of PHEV in-fections in clinical practice.

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4(DPP4)is one of the binding receptors for the spike(S)protein of porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus(PHEV).To identify the key amino acid binding sites at the interface of DPP4 protein and PHEV spike protein and explore the impact of their mu-tations on viral infection,recombinant plasmids of porcine DPP4,murine DPP4 and human DPP4(pDPP4,mDPP4,hDPP4)and spike protein truncations(S311-608,S13-298)were constructed and co-transfected into HEK293T cells to detect the protein binding by co-immunoprecipitation(CoIP).Simultaneously,the expression of PHEV proteins and genes was detected in DPP4-over-expressing HeLa cells infected by PHEV using Western blot and RT-qPCR.homologues were overexpressed in HeLa cells which were not susceptible to and then inoculated with the virus,and.Subsequently,the important pDPP4 amino acid sites at the interaction interface were mutated one by one using a point mutation kit to construct mutant overexpression plasmids.The mutant and wild-type pDPP4 were co-transfected into HEK293T cells with the spike protein truncations re-spectively to assay the protein interaction ability by co-immunoprecipitation.After HeLa cells over-expressing the mutant and wild-type pDPP4 were infected by PHEV,the replication level of PHEV was detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR.Compared with hDPP4,the pDPP4 and mDPP4 had significantly stronger binding to PHEV spike protein,which significantly promote PHEV infection.Moreover,mutation of pDPP4 glycosylation sites significantly enhanced the inter-action with PHEV spike protein,and the mutation of glycosylation sites(N229,N321)dramatical-ly promoted PHEV infection.The above results indicated that DPP4 glycosylation modification plays an important shielding role in the process of PHEV invading target cells mediated by spike protein.
