		                        			Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)is a double-stranded DNA herpes virus that is universally susceptible to human populations worldwide.It mainly infects B cells and epithelial cells and has the characteristics of incubation and transformation.The innate immune response is the first line of defense against EBV.In particular, the immune response of type Ⅰ interferons and the direct cell-killing effects of innate cytotoxic lymphocyte are essential for initial control of viral infection and subsequent activation of adaptive immune responses.There is a delicate balance between innate immune response and immune escape of EBV, and the breakdown of the balance is related to the occurrence and prognosis of EBV-related diseases.A better understanding of this balance mechanism will guide the prevention and targeted therapy of EBV-related diseases.This article reviews the role of innate immune cells(epithelial cells, mononuclear/dendritic cells, NK cells, γδT cells, NKT cells)and type Ⅰ interferon in EBV infection and the immune escape mechanism of EBV.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the clinical and imaging characteristics of isolated cortical vein thrombosis (ICVT) in order to improve the understanding of this rare disease.Methods:From December 2013 to September 2019, patients with ICVT admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were collected retrospectively. Their clinical manifestations, imaging examination, treatment and prognosis were analyzed.Results:A total of 6 patients with ICVT were enrolled in the study, including 3 males and 3 females, with an average age of 37 years. The main clinical manifestations were acute seizures (5/6, 83.3%), focal neurological deficits (3/6, 50.0%), and headache (3/6, 50.0%). In the imaging examination, the direct signs of ICVT were spot sign and cord sign, and the indirect signs were cerebral lobe hemorrhage, infarction, or edema.Conclusions:Seizures, focal neurological deficits and headaches are common manifestations of ICVT. Multimodality imaging examinations are helpful for early diagnosis of the disease.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the clinical and imaging characteristics of deep cerebral vein thrombosis (DCVT).Methods:From December 2006 to December 2019, patients with DCVT admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were enrolled retrospectively. The clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, treatment and prognosis of the patients were analyzed.Results:A total of 11 patients with DCVT were enrolled in the study, including 4 females and 7 males. Their average age of onset was 41.6 years. Their most common clinical manifestations were acute or subacute onset headache (11/11, 100%), disturbance of consciousness (5/11, 45.5%), and seizures (4/11, 36.4%). All 11 patients involved straight sinus, 9 involved the great cerebral vein, 5 involved the internal cerebral vein, and 1 involved the basilar vein. All patients were complicated with other venous sinus thrombosis, and 3 were complicated with superficial cortical venous thrombosis. Early CT plain scan (within 1 week of onset) of 8 patients (72.3%) showed high-density point sign of great cerebral vein or cord sign of straight sinus. Head MRI showed that 90.9% (10/11) of patients had brain parenchymal damage, thalamic involvement (5/11, 45.5%) was the most common, followed by deep white matter (4/11, 36.4%). One patient received urokinase interventional thrombolysis and died on the 6 th day of onset. The remaining 10 patients improved after receiving anticoagulant therapy. Follow up of 4 months to 13 years showed that 4 patients left with mild to moderate disability (the modified Rankin scale score 1-3), and 6 returned to normal. Conclusions:Headache, disturbance of consciousness and seizures are common clinical manifestations of DCVT. Imaging examination shows that the possibility of DCVT should be warned when the thalamus or deep white matter is involved. It is necessary to pay attention to the high-density thrombus spot sign and cord sign on early CT plain scan. DCVT patients with cortical venous thrombosis progressed rapidly in the acute phase, and the outcomes were poor.

		                        			Ten patients with allergic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (AGPA) were admitted in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital during January 2013 to August 2019, among whom 5 cases with neurologic involvement. The clinical features, laboratory findings and clinical outcome of the 5 patients were analyzed and literature review was performed. Among 5 cases of AGPA with neurologic involvement, 3 presented with peripheral neuropathy as the initial symptom, 2 had multiple mononeuropathy, 3 had distal asymmetric or symmetric polyneuropathy. All five patients had acute or subacute onset, and the symptoms of limb numbness or pain were prominent. Electrophysiological examination showed that sensory and motor conduction amplitude significantly decreased or disappeared. Eight of the 10 AGPA patients were treated with corticosteroid combined with immunosuppressants, 2 were treated with corticosteroid alone. Eight patients had good prognosis and 2 patients died. The results suggest that peripheral neuropathy is common in AGPA. When the patients present with acute or subacute onset of axonal impairment of peripheral neuropathy and elevated eosinophils, AGPA should be considered.

		                        			Objective To investigate the changes of protein and energy intakes and the z-score of weight for age in appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and small for gestational age (SGA) preterm infants with gestational age less than 34 weeks. Methods The data from 314 hospitalized premature infants ( 268 cases of AGA and 46 cases of SGA) during January 2012 to December 2014 were retrospectively collected. The intakes of protein and energy and the changes of weight within 2 weeks after birth were compared. Results Compared with AGA group, the hospital stays, durations of parenteral and enteral nutrition and total enteral nutrition, and time to achieve full dose feeding were signiifcantly longer in SGA group (P?0 . 05 ). The energy intakes on day 4 , 8 , and 12 after birth in SGA group was obviously lower than in AGA group;the protein intakes on day 6 and 8 in SGA group was also obviously lower than in AGA group (P?0 . 05 ). The daily average weight gain was signiifcantly higher in SGA group than that in AGA group (P?0 . 05 ). The z-score of weight for age was gradually away from the median level in both AGA group and SGA group within 2 weeks after birth. Moreover, the z-score of weight for age at 2 weeks was lower in SGA group than that in AGA group (P?0 . 05 ). Conclusions The growth velocity in SGA premature infants was faster than that in AGA premature infants with gestation age lower than 34 weeks after recovery of birth weight. There was catch-up growth to some extent. However, the growth of SGA and AGA premature infants need to be improved.
