Coronavirus infection can cause serious respiratory and digestive system diseases in hu-mans and animals.In recent years,the frequent outbreaks and newly outbreaks of coronavirus in-fection have threatened global public health and the development of livestock and poultry.Howev-er,the development of anti-coronavirus drugs and vaccines was restricted due to the insufficient understanding of the mechanisms of coronavirus pathogenesis and cross species transmission.Re-verse genetic manipulation technology is a powerful tool in virological research,which can be used for the study of pathogenesis mechanisms,replication mechanisms and function analysis of protein.It is also be used in the development of attenuated or gene labeled vaccines,and antiviral drugs.Due to the large genome and complex structure of the coronavirus,the reverse genetic manipulation technology of coronavirus has been lagging for a long time.With the continuous updating of molec-ular biology methods,various new construction strategies have emerged.This article focuses on the construction strategy of the reverse genetic operating system for coronavirus,as well as its applica-tion in virus transmission and pathogenic mechanisms,and development of vaccines,which will provide favorable tools for the prevention and control of the coronavirus infection.

Background:
Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is a single-stranded DNA virus that causes porcine reproductive failure. It is of critical importance to study PPV pathogenesis for the prevention and control of the disease. NS1, a PPV non-structural protein, is participated in viral DNA replication, transcriptional regulation, and cytotoxicity. Our previous research showed that PPV can activate nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and then up-regulate the expression of interleukin (IL)-6.
Objectives:
Herein, the purpose of this study is to determine whether the non-structural protein NS1 of PPV also has the same function.
Methods:
Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blot, immunofluorescence assay and small interfering RNA (siRNA) were used.
Results:
Our findings demonstrated that PPV NS1 protein can up-regulate the expression levels of IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, PPV NS1 protein was found to induce the phosphorylation of IκBα, then leading to the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of NF-κB. In addition, the NS1 protein activated the upstream pathways of NF-κB. Meanwhile, TLR2-siRNA assay showed TLR2 plays an important role in the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway induced by PPV-NS1.
Conclusions
These findings indicated that PPV NS1 protein induced the up-regulated of IL-6 expression through activating the TLR2 and NF-κB signaling pathways. In conclusion, these findings provide a new avenue to study the innate immune mechanism of PPV infection.

Background:
In suckling piglets, transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) causes lethal diarrhea accompanied by high infection and mortality rates, leading to considerable economic losses. This study explored methods of preventing or inhibiting their production.Bovine antimicrobial peptide-13 (APB-13) has antibacterial, antiviral, and immune functions.
Objectives:
This study analyzed the efficacy of APB-13 against TGEV through in vivo and in vitro experiments.
Methods:
The effects of APB-13 toxicity and virus inhibition rate on swine testicular (ST) cells were detected using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT). The impact of APB-13 on virus replication was examined through the 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50 ). The mRNA and protein levels were investigated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot (WB). Tissue sections were used to detect intestinal morphological development.
Results:
The safe and effective concentration range of APB-13 on ST cells ranged from 0 to 62.5 µg/mL, and the highest viral inhibitory rate of APB-13 was 74.1%. The log10 TCID50 of 62.5 µg/mL APB-13 was 3.63 lower than that of the virus control. The mRNA and protein expression at 62.5 µg/mL APB-13 was significantly lower than that of the virus control at 24 hpi. Piglets in the APB-13 group showed significantly lower viral shedding than that in the virus control group, and the pathological tissue sections of the jejunum morphology revealed significant differences between the groups.
Conclusions
APB-13 exhibited good antiviral effects on TGEV invivo and in vitro.

Methods From June 2011 to January 2016, seventeen distal leg and foot-ankle defects cases repaired with rotated single pedicel reverse sural neurocutaneous island flap were analyzed retrospectively. In this study, 13 cases were male, and 4 cases were female. Age ranged from 25 to 65 years old, with an average age of 42.0 ± 8.3 years. Seven cases were distal leg defects, 3 cases were ankle defects, 3 cases were heel defects, and 4 cases were acrotarsium defects; all cases had bone and tendon exposure. The defects ranged from 5.0 cm × 7.0 cm-6.0 cm × 12.0 cm. The flap size ranged from 5.0 cm × 7.0 cm-8.0 cm × 15.0 cm. Results All 17 cases survived completely, without thanatosis, blisters and vascular crisis. The follow-up period was 12-48 months, and the mean was (20.0 ± 11.1) months. The color and elasticity of the flaps was excellent, with satisfactory appearances. Function and appearance of donor sites was not affected. Conclusions The rotated single pedicel reverse sural neurocutaneous island flaps have no injury on main nerves and arteries. The flaps have wide rotation angle and less invalid fold in the pedicel. The simple operation has satisfactory effects and high survival rate. It is a relatively easy procedure that can be applied toward repairing of distal leg and foot-ankle soft tissue defect.
