Objective:To understand the composition of respiratory virus spectrum in hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections in Guilin City from 2021 to 2022, and to explore the epidemic characteristics of different respiratory viruses.Methods:Information of a total of 638 hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections (ARI) syndrome under the age of 14 years in Guilin city, Guangxi from September 2021 to October 2022 was collected as research data. The collected pharyngeal swabs from pediatric patients were subjected to real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for nucleic acid testing, screening for 15 common respiratory viruses, and analyzing the virus spectrum characteristics of hospitalized pediatric patients with acute respiratory infections.Results:Among the 638 specimens, 365 were tested positive for at least one virus, with a positive rate of 57.21% (365/638). The detection rate for two or more viruses was 12.85% (82/638). There were 12 types of viruses detected, and the difference in virus detection rates among different seasons was statistically significant (P<0.002). The virus positive detection rate of samples from different age groups was the highest in the 0-2-year old group (40.66%), followed by the 3-5-year old group (34.80%) and the 6-year and older group (24.54%).Conclusions:During the period from September 2021 to October 2022, all 12 respiratory viruses were prevalent in Guilin area, with obvious summer peak as characteristics. It is suggested that corresponding prevention and control measures should be focused on pathogens that may cause acute respiratory infections in children during the local summer to prevent and control the spread and prevalence of respiratory infections.

Objective Through the investigation of Tongxuan Lifei prescription and Tongxuan Lifei prescription to reduce Ephedrae Herba on the respiratory system,central system,urinary system,circulatory system and digestive system of model rats with wind-cold superficies symptoms,to explore the effect of the ascending and floating of Ephedrae Herba on the efficacy of Tongxuan Lifei prescription and to provide theoretical basis for clinical prescription.Methods 60 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group(CON),model group(M),paracetamol group(Y,0.455 g·kg-1),Ephedrae Herba group(MH,2.340 g·kg-1),Tongxuan Lifei prescription group(TX,4.326 g·kg-1)and Tongxuan Lifei prescription to reduce Ephedrae Herba group(TX-MH,3.920 g·kg-1),10 rats in each group.Except for the CON group,the rats of the groups were modeled with fan blowing and cold stimulation.The model was successful when the rats appeared in a state of crouching or condensed,decreased spontaneous activity,hunched back,sneezing,and elevated body temperature.After successful modeling,the corresponding drugs(10 mL·kg-1)were given respectively,and the rats in the CON and M group were given the same volume of distilled water for 4 consecutive days.The basic state of the rats was observed,ammonia induced cough,phenol red excretion and levels of inflammatory factors(IgE,IL-4,IFN-γ)in BALF,lung histopathological sections and oxidative stress(MDA,SOD and GSH-Px)levels were determined to investigate the effects of TX and TX-MH on the respiratory system.The effects of TX and TX-MH on the central system were investigated by the open field experiment,the sleep time of rats and the levels of inflammatory factors(IgE,IFN-γ,IL-4)in serum.The effects of TX and TX-MH on digestive system were investigated by gastrointestinal motility and levels of motilin(MTL),somatostatin(SST)and gastrin(GT)in plasma.The effects of TX and TX-MH on the urinary system were investigated by the levels of toe sweat secretion,urine volume,serum creatinine(CRE)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN).The effects on the circulatory system were investigated by the rat cardiac function and the levels of serum NO.Results TX could increase the body weight and decrease the body temperature of rats with wind-cold superficies symptoms;TX could stimulate the central system,improve the respiratory system,enhance the urinary-sweat system,and has no obvious effect on the circulatory system and digestive system.The effects of TX-MH on the respiratory system and the central system is obviously weakened,and the circulatory system and the digestive system are basically not affected.In general,the effect of TX is better than that of TX-MH,which indicates that the removal of Ephedrae Herba,the ascending and floating medicine,weakens the effect of TX on"promoting cold"and"xuanfei relieving cough".Conclusion The Ephedrae Herba's ascending and floating medicinal properties play an important role in the efficacy of Tongxuan Lifei prescription's"promoting cold"and"xuanfei relieving cough".

Objective:To analyze the association of respiratory syncytial virus infection with meteorological factors and to predict and explain the trends.Methods:Data of cases with severe acute respiratory infections in hospitalized children in Xuzhou City were collected from 2015-2021. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was detected by real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction. The result were statistically analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software, including constructing a negative binomial regression model to explore meteorological factors that impact RSV detection and a multivariate time series model to predict its epidemiological trend from 2020 to 2021.Results:A total of 1 663 samples of children with severe acute respiratory infections were collected from 2015to 2021, of which 218 (13.1%) were positive for RSV. Seasonal effects on RSV detection were evident: there was a 1-year cycle with a peak in winter (December-February) and a trough in summer (June-August). The negative binomial regression analysis showed that monthly mean temperature, monthly mean relative humidity, and monthly total sunshine hours may influenced RSV detection. The prediction result of the time series model with sunshine hours as the covariate showed that the prediction was better for 2020, and the actual values were close to the predicted values. The expected trends in 2021 were consistent, but the actual values were higher than predicted.Conclusions:Monthly mean temperature, monthly mean relative humidity, and monthly total sunshine hours may influence RSV detection in the Xuzhou region.A prediction model can be built using data from 2015-2019, where deviations in the predicted values for 2021, reflecting that disease prevalence is multifactorial correlated, suggest a possible rise in RSV prevalence in the future.

Objective: To investigate the effect of thapsigargin (TG) which can induce endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) on the replication of coxsackievirus B 3 (CV-B3). Methods: After 10 MOI CV-B3 infected HeLa cells were exposed 0.25 μmol/L TG for 3 h, 6 h and 9 h, virus RNA of HeLa cells were extracted and viral replication was evaluated by real time PCR. After 0.25 μmol/L、0.08 μmol/L and 0.025 μmol/L TG exposed, the plaque of CV-B3 was used to confirm further replication of CV-B3. To verify TG induced ERS through three signal pathway, one of among PERK, ATF6 and IRE1 inhibitors GSK2656157, AEBSF and STF-083010, and 0.25 μmol/L TG were used in HeLa cells infected with 10 MOI CV-B3, replication of CV-B3 was evaluated by qRT-PCR. Results: The stimulation of TG did not induce increase of virus replication after post-infection 3 h. However, TG induced replication of virus to increase 2.5 times after post-infection 6 h and 158.6 times after post-infection 9 h. And, the area of viral plaque was significantly increased. ATF6 inhibitors AEBSF significantly inhibited promotion of virus replication from TG. Conclusions TG can promote the replication of CV-B3 through ATF6 signal pathway.

Objective: To observe the changes of endogenous small interfering RNA (siRNA) in H1-Hela cells infected with human rhinovirus 16 (HRV 16). Methods: To determine whether HRV16 infection induced the changes of siRNA, H1-HeLa cells were infected with HRV16 for 12 h, 24 h and 36 h, siRNAs were detected by high-throughput sequencing, second-generation sequencing) and qRT-PCR. Results: The result showed that siRNA was generated differently at different time points post-infection, among which novel_sir907 and novel_sir1950 decreased at three time points. Further validation by qRT-PCR showed that novel_sir907 decreased at 12 h, 24 h and 36 h post-infection compared with the cell control, but novel_sir1950 increased at 12 h then decreased at 24 h and 36 h. Conclusions HRV16 infection induces changes endogenous siRNAs.

Objective To analyze the content of clinical practice guidelines and provide references for developing Chinese clinical practice guideline of dysphagia with stroke. Methods Content analysis was used to analyze the contents of clinical practice guideline related to dysphagia with stroke which were searched from Internet. Results Ten guidelines were included which were consisted of 2 Chinese guidelines and 8 English guidelines. These guidelines' themes were stroke involving dysphagia, and only two of them were targeted on dysphagia. And one of them was targeted on dyshagia with stroke. Only one guideline hadn't been revised yet, and the rest had been updated. Twenty items were identified from 10 guidelines as been concerning to dysphagia with stroke. Conclusions Current clinical practice guideline about dysphagia with stroke can be used to guide clinical practice. However, some recommendations of guidelines are not clear and not updated in time which can't provide specific references for dysphagia. A clinical practice guideline which is suitable for dysphagia with stroke in China should be developed based on best evidece and Chinese actual conditions.

Objective Meningovascular syphilis is the intima inflammation of blood vessels caused by the syphilitic infec-tion, which is associated with the occurrence of ischemic stroke.The study analyzed the clinical, imaging features and prognosis for meningovascular syphilis so as to improve its diagnosis and treatment. Methods 14 patients diagnosed with meningovascular syphilis were collected prospectively from December 2007 to March 2015 in the neurological department of Jinling Hospital.The patients were followed for a period of 21.5(range 10.2~37.9)months,and the prognosis were evaluated. Results Patients with meningovascular syphilis presented with dizziness, hemiplegia, hemidysesthesia and cognitive decline.Lesions showed multiple, scattered on MR ima-ging, intracranial vascular stenosis was seen in the CTA/MRA, and the laboratory examination had characteristic changes.With a large dose and sufficient courses of penicillin treatment, meningovascular syphilis may hopefully get predominant effects.78.57%patients got good prognosis(modified Rankin Scale ,mRS≤2)at 3 months and 85.71% patients got goodlong-term prognosis(mRS≤2). Conclusion Meningovascular syphilis was usually presented as acute onset, lacks the specific clinical and neuroimaging manifesta-tions.Most patients has favourable prognosis after treatment of syphilis with full course of penicillin.

Stroke has become the leading cause of death in Chinese residents. As the cornerstone of the primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke, aspirin can prevent the occurrence and recurrence of ischemic stroke in a certain extent. However, some patients stil have vascular events after taking aspirin regularly or higher platelet aggregation rate. This phenomenon is caled aspirin resistance or aspirin low reactivity. This article reviews the occurrence, detection methods, and treatment measures of aspirin resistance in patients with ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of UGT1 A6 and aspirin response in a cohort of Chinese Han population.Methods A total of 323 ischemic stroke patients consecutively registered in Nanjing Stroke Registry Program from September 2011 to October 2014 were enrolled.Three SNPs (rs6759892,rs2070959 and rs1105879) of UGT1A6 were genotyped in these ischemic stroke patients.Association of genotypes and aspirin response was evaluated by generalized linear model.Indicated with the inhibition rate of platelets,aspirin response was assessed by thromboelastograph.Results The mutation allele (G) of rs2070959 was positively related to platelets inhibition (β =0.084,P =0.010,Pcorrected =0.029),especially in male (β =0.098,P =0.006,Pcorrected =O.019).The dominant models of rs6759892,rs1105879 were also modestly related to aspirin response (P=0.015,Pcorrected=0.046 in both SNPs) in male.Thus the polymorphisms of UGT1A6 showed a relationship with aspirin response,especially in males.Conclusions The results indicated that genetic polymorphism of UGT1A6 might have an effect on individuals' aspirin response,especially in males.These findings can help clinicians to optimize the antiplatelet therapy for ischemic stroke patients.

Objective It remains to be confirmed whether tissue kallikrein has neuroprotective effect in diabetes-induced stroke.This study was to investigate the neuroprotection of tissue kallikrein against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in diabetic rats. Methods Healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into a sham operation, a saline control, and a tissue kallikrein group.Diabetes mellitus was induced in the animals by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin and the model of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion was made with an intraluminal vascular occlusion method. At 24 hours after modeling, we obtained the neurological deficit score, in-farct size, and brain water content, counted Iba1-and MPO-positive cells by immunohistochemistry, and determined the expressions of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 by real-time PCR. Results In comparison with the saline controls, the rats treated with tissue kallirein showed significant decreases in the neurological deficit score (P<0.01), the infarct size ([23.57 ±5.79] vs [47.97 ±1.19]%, P<0.01), brain edema ([81.73 ±2.10] vs [84.94 ±2.34]%, P<0.05), the counts of Iba1-and MPO-positive cells (12.33 ±4.46 vs 31.83 ±8.13 and 13.83 ±4.49 vs 37.50 ±7.64, both P<0.01), and the expressions of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 (both P<0.05). Conclusion Tissue kallikrein has a neuroprotective effect against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in diabetic rats, which may be associated with its anti-inflammation property.
