ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of NS4B on host defense system. Methods After cell line stably expressed NS4B was established, cell expression profiling caused by NS4B was studied using DNA microarray, and the results of microarray were verified via IFNGR1 fluorescence intensity analysis. Results The data showed that HCV-NS4B could suppress host defense system-associated gene ex-pression, in particular, IFN-γsignal transduction-related genes. Conclusion NS4B could play a role in persistence and resistance to IFN therapy in HCV infection.
ABSTRACT
[Objective] To compare the effects of modified Ermiao Liquid (MEL) and Jingwanhong Ointment (JO), both of which have the actions of clearing heat and toxin, cooling blood and anti - inflammation, in treating burn wound. [ Methods] Two hundred and seventy - two cases of Ⅱ -degree burn were randomly allocated to MEL group (Group A, n = 150) and JO group (Group B, n = 122) . Healing-time for burn wound was compared in the two groups. [Results] Healing-time for superficial Ⅱ -degree and deep Ⅱ -degree burn wound was both shortened in MEL group as compared with that in JO group (P
