Objective Using different concentrations of Coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)to infect young SD rats.To investigate the distribution of coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)in rat tissues and the immune response and inflammatory factors,to clarify the immunopathological mechanism of viral infection and provide an experimental basis for drug screening and efficacy evaluation.Methods Young SD rats(7 days old)were injected intraperitoneally with different doses of CVB3(TCID50=10-3.34/100 μL)and the proportions of lymphocyte subsets(CD4+,CD8+)in whole blood at days 4 and 8 were detected by flow cytometry.The CVB3 loads in the heart,liver,spleen,brain,kidney,and gastrointestinal tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction,TNF-α and IFN-γ levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and histomorphologic changes were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining.Results Different doses of CVB3 caused different degrees of diarrhea and decreased body mass in young rats.CVB3 was mainly distributed in the stomach,small intestine,large intestine,and stools,with the highest load in the large intestine and stools.The stock solution group(TCID50=10-3.34/100 μL)increased the proportion of CD8+T cells in the whole blood in young rats and decreased the CD4+/CD8+ratio(P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with the nomal group high TNF-α and low IFN-γ expression were observed in the large intestine of young rats in the concentrate group(P<0.05,P<0.01),and submucosal edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed in the large intestine(cecum and rectum).There were no significant differences in the proportion of lymphocyte subsets,TNF-α and IFN-γ levels,and morphological changes in whole blood of young rats in the group 10-1,10-2,and 10-3(P>0.05).Conclusions Different doses of CVB3 can induce infections in young SD rats.CVB3(TCID50=10-3.34/100 μL)causes pathological changes in the large intestine(cecum and rectum)in young rats,and high virus replication can increase levels of inflammatory factors and cause an imbalance of immune cells.CVB3 may have a unique pathogenic mechanism in young rats,providing a theoretical basis for developing evaluation strategies for drugs against CVB3 virus infections.

Objective This study established a model of invasive Aspergillus niger lung disease in immunosuppressed rats to provide theoretical support for the pharmacodynamic evaluation of anti-invasive pulmonary aspergillosis drugs and mechanism studies.Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into a normal control group;cyclophosphamide control group,and cyclophosphamide+fungal infection low,medium,and high dose groups,with 12 animals in each group.General clinical observations were performed daily,and the serum levels of immunoglobulin(Ig)G and IgM and galactomannan(GM)were detected by ELISA on the 3rd and 7th days of modeling.Simultaneously,the ratio of CD4+and CD8+cells,content of white blood cells(WBCs)and neutrophils(Neu)in peripheral blood,the Aspergillus niger load in alveolar lavage,and morphological changes to rat lung tissue were observed.Results Rats in the cyclophosphamide control and cyclophosphamide+fungal infection groups showed reduced voluntary activity and erect hair after modeling,and rats in the cyclophosphamide+fungal infection group also had shortness of breath and audible wet rhonchi in the lungs.Compared with the normal control group,rats in the cyclophosphamide control group showed significant reductions in the levels of CD4+,WBC,Neu,IgG,and IgM in the blood,and their proportion of CD8+cells was significantly higher(P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with the cyclophosphamide control group,rats in the cyclophosphamide+fungal infection medium-and high-dose groups had significantly reduced blood levels of IgG,IgM,and CD4+cells(P<0.05,P<0.01);while the cyclophosphamide+fungal infection low-,medium-,and high-dose groups had significantly reduced blood levels of WBC and Neu(P<0.05,P<0.01).Additionally,rats in the cyclophosphamide+fungal infection medium-and high-dose groups had significantly increased blood CD8+cells(P<0.05,P<0.01),Blood GM levels and the alveolar lavage Aspergillus niger load were significantly increased in rats in the cyclophosphamide+fungal infection low-,medium-,and high-dose groups compared with the cyclophosphamide control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).The lung tissues of the cyclophosphamide+fungal infection low-,medium-,and high-dose groups showed mycelial distribution and destruction of alveolar epithelium,increase of bronchial epithelial cup cells in the alveoli,and infiltration of inflammatory cells,and the degree of lesions was positively correlated with the modeling dose.Conclusions In this study,we used Aspergillus niger combined with cyclophosphamide immunosuppressant to construct a model of invasive Aspergillus niger lung disease.The duration of the disease was positively correlated with the concentration of bacterial fluid and modeling time,confirming that cellular immunity plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease.At the same time,Ig can also affect the development of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis,and it is speculated that the pathogenesis may be related to the level of Ig produced by humoral immunity.

Objective To study the efficacy of arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)with hamstring tendons and button-suture plate.Methods Thirty-two cases of ACL rupture received arthroscopic reconstruction with hamstring tendons and button-suture plate.The Lachman test and Pivot shift test were performed before and after operation to assess the stability of the knee joint.The knee function was evaluated according to Lysholm rating scale.Regular MRI,anterioposterior and lateral films of knee joint,patella axial radiography were conducted before the operation,to exclude the possibility of osteal avulsion at both ends of ACL.Results The 32 cases were followed for 3.5-29 months,in which 25 cases were more than 12 months.The knee stabilities of all cases recovered.The preoperative Lachman test results were positive in 32 cases,and the Pivot shift test results were positive in 28 cases.Lysholm rating score was 51.8?5.6.The postoperative Lachman tests result were negative in 30 cases,and weakly positive in 2 cases.The Pivot test showed negative results in all the cases.The Lysholm rating score was increased to 90.7?2.5 after the operation.Three cases experienced joint effusion and were treated with puncture aspiration.Conclusions The short-term clinical effect of arthroscopic reconstruction of ACL with hamstring tendons and suture plate is favorable.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of the treatment of intercondylar fractures of the distal femur using open reduction and internal fi xation. Methods From July 1995 to December 2001, a total of 32 intercondylar fra ctures of the distal femur were treated with open reduction and internal fixatio n with a plate, 95? blade plate, a dynamic condylar screw (DCS) or a condyla r buttress plate. There were 13 cases of type-C1, 10 type-C2 and 9 type-C3 ac cording to the AO/ASIF standard. The outcomes of internal fixation were evaluate d according to preoperative and postoperative radiographs and postoperative func tions of the knee. Results 27 patients were followed-up from 8 months to 8 year s. The results were excellent in 14 cases, good in 9, poor in 4 according to San ders standard. Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation is an ideal ch oice for intercondylar fractures of the distal femur.
