Objective:To explore any effect of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the left cerebellar hemisphere on the swallowing neural network using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).Methods:Thirty healthy volunteers were recruited and subjected to 10Hz rTMS of the left cerebellar hemisphere. Before and after the stimulation, fMRI was performed. The amplitude of the motor evoked potential (MEP) of the mylohyoid muscle, the amplitude of its low-frequency fluctuations (ALFFs), their fractional amplitude (fALFF), and their regional homogeneity (ReHo) were observed.Results:After the intervention the MEP amplitude of both mylohyoid muscles had increased significantly. The ALFF and fALFF values in the left cerebellar region, occipital lobe, prefrontal lobe, cuneus lobe, anterior central gyrus and posterior central gyrus had increased significantly. And the average ReHo values of the left cerebellum, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, right anterior central gyrus and posterior central gyrus had also significantly increased.Conclusions:The stimulation studied can significantly enhance the excitability of bilateral swallowing cortical tracts, as well as the neural activities of the anterior central gyrus, posterior central gyrus, occipital lobe, cuneus lobe, temporal lobe, inferior parietal gyrus, right premotor cortex, and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. That suggests that the cerebellum plays an important role in the swallowing neural network.

【Objective】 To investigate the frequency of platelet antibodies in voluntary blood donors and patients in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, and to study the specificity and cross-matching of platelet antibodies. 【Methods】 Platelet antibodies of blood donors and patients were screened by solid-phase immunoadsorption (SPIA), rechecked by flow cytometry (FCM), and antibody specificity was identified by PakPlus enzyme immunoassay, and platelet cross-matching was simulated by SPIA. 【Results】 A total of 1 049 blood donor samples and 598 patient samples were tested, with 6 (0.57%) and 49 (8.19%) samples positive for SPIA,respectively(P<0.05); In SPIA positive samples, the positive concordance rate of FCM in blood donors and patients was 100% vs 95%, and that of enzyme immunoassay was 100% vs 88%. Among the initial screening positive samples of blood donors, 5 were anti-HLA Ⅰ antibodies, accounting for 83%, and 1 was anti CD36 antibody, accounting for 17%, with an incidence rate of 0.10%. Among the 14 samples of enzyme immunoassay positive patients, 2 were anti-GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa, 1 was anti-GP Ⅱa/Ⅱa, 8 were anti HLA Ⅰ, and 3 were mixed antibodies (HLA Ⅰ, GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa, GP Ⅰa/Ⅱa). According to the types of antibodies, HLA Ⅰ antibodies were the most common, accounting for 65% (11/17), followed by HPA related anti GP, accounting for 35% (6/17). The majority of patients had a platelet antibody positive typing rate below 30%, accounting for 71.4% (10/14). 【Conclusions】 The positive rate of platelet antibody of patients in Zhongshan area is significantly higher than that of voluntary blood donors, and most of them are anti-HLA Ⅰ and anti-GP, and the incidence of anti-CD36 is extremely low. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a known platelet antigen donor bank, and at the same time, carry out platelet antibody testing and matching of patients, which is helpful to solve the issue of platelet transfusion refractoriness.

Objective:To investigate the effect of virus inactivation on weak positive result of 2019 novel coronavirus(2019-nCoV) nucleic acid test.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the nasopharyngeal swabs of three patients with positive PCR nucleic acid test for 2019-nCoV at different concentrations in the Second affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College from January to February 2020.The virus in nasopharyngeal swab specimens were inactivated by water bath at 56 ℃ for 30 min, dry bath at 56 ℃ for 60 min and dry bath at 60 ℃ for 30 min respectively. After treatment, these samples RNA were extracted and then detected by three new commercial quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction reagent kits for 2019-nCoV.Cycle threshold (Ct) value was used to evaluate the effect of virus inactivation on nucleic acid detection of 2019-nCoV.Results:There was no significant difference between the groups before and after inactivation. Ct values of ORF1ab gene before inactivation were 23.28±0.28, 25.25±0.25, 28.93±0.44, 32.06±0.47, 35.20±0.38, 32.89±0.38, 36.24±0.23, 33.30±0.46, and those after inactivation were, group 1:23.60±0.20, 27.29±0.30, 31.83±0.51, 37.41±0.46, group 2: 24.25±0.34, 27.18±0.42, 31.84±0.61, 34.99±1.01, 34.89±0.45,group 3: 23.37±0.17, 26.89±0.52, 32.05±0.50.Ct value of N gene before inactivation were 24.38±0.09, 26.64±0.11, 30.35±0.12, 33.29±0.33, 36.93±0.11, 34.50±0.12, 35.63±0.12, those after inactivation were, group 1: 24.66±0.11, 28.52±0.14, 32.71±0.14, 37.00±0.13;group 2: 25.41±0.10, 28.79±0.15, 33.29±0.28; group 3: 23.37±0.11, 28.68±0.11, 33.54±0.13, 37.18±0.23(ORF1ab gene: t=-1.416; N gene: t=-1.379, P>0.05).

Conclusion:The virus inactivation can degrade the nucleic acid of the 2019-nCoV, resulting in the decrease of the Ct value and the false negative results of the low-concentration specimens.

Human infection with avian influenza A (H7N9) is an acute contagious respiratory disease. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common complication in patients with severe avian influenza A (H7N9), for whom mechanical ventilation (MV) is an important supportive method. A patient, suffered from severe avian influenza A (H7N9) and complicated with ARDS, was admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University in January 2017. With very intensive care for oxygenation, respiration and consciousness, and monitoring, she was successfully cured by comprehensive managements, among which noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) was the major respiratory support method. The result demonstrate that, in patients with conscious state, satisfied expectoration ability and relatively good cooperation, and with close observation of oxygenation and respiratory rate, NIV may be accepted as an effective method for patient with ARDS caused by severe avian influenza A (H7N9).

The objective of this study was to investigate the regulatory effects of TGF-β1 on CCL3/4 expression and inflammation-related pain during intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). TGF-β1 and CCL3/4 expression patterns in different degenerative human nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues were measured by qPCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC), and the effects of TGF-β1 on CCL3/4 expression were measured by qPCR, ELISA and immunofluorescence. The roles of NF-κB and MAPK in TGF-β1-mediated CCL3/4 promoter activity were studied using siRNAs, western blotting and qPCR. After establishing an IVDD rat model in vivo, we administered intradiscal injections of TGF-β1. The effects of TGF-β1 on IVDD were determined by MRI and histological analyses, and the effects of TGF-β1 on dorsal root ganglion (DRG) inflammation and pain development were determined by IHC staining and pain-behavior testing, respectively. TGF-β1 and CCL3/4 expression was elevated in degenerative NP tissue. CCL4 expression was significantly inhibited by TGF-β1 treatment. Pharmacological inhibition or siRNA knockdown of the ERK1/2 signaling attenuated TGF-β1-mediated suppression of CCL4 expression. In vivo, TGF-β1 injection inhibited the development of degenerative features in the IVDD model. Moreover, TGF-β1 prevented the inflammatory response and pain development. The results of this study show that TGF-β1 downregulates CCL4 expression through ERK1/2 signaling activation in NP cells. Furthermore, TGF-β1 can prevent degenerative processes, inhibit inflammatory responses in the DRG and prevent pain development in the IVDD rat model. The results of this study indicate that TGF-β1 may represent a therapeutic target for the control of inflammation-related pain associated with IVDD.

Objective To explore the potential key risk factors of schistosomiasis transmission in potential endemic areas so as to provide the evidence for setting up the prediction and surveillance systems of schistosomiasis outbreak epidemic. Methods From 2008 to 2012,fixed and mobile surveillance sites in potential endemic areas of 2 counties in Hubei Province were selected. The immunological assays and stool examinations were carried out to investigate the schistosome infection situation of local people, mobile population and livestock. The distribution of Oncomelania hupensis snails was investigated in risk areas and suspicious ar-eas,and spreading patterns of snails were observed in the rivers that directly connected with the Yangtze River. Results A total of 6 052 local people aged 6-65 years were screened by IHA immunological tests,and the positive rate of antibody was 1.19%(72/6 052). Totally 72 antibody positives were examined by Kato-Katz technique and there were no positives. A total of 5 004 mo-bile persons were tested by IHA immunological tests and the positive rate was 1.36%(68/5 004). Totally 68 antibody positives were examined by Kato-Katz technique and there were no positives. Totally 287.07 hm2 potential endemic areas were investigated for Oncomelania snail detection,and no snails were found. The investigation on snail spreading patterns and the surveillance on suspicious circumstances were carried out,with no snails found. Conclusions In the schistosomiasis potential endemic areas, some positives of IHA immunological tests are found. Therefore,monitoring is still needed to be strengthened.
