On Research Progress of Western and Chinese Medicine Treatment on Pre-Rheumatoid Arthritis / 中国结合医学杂志

Pre-rheumatoid arthritis is the inevitable phase before the actual onset of rheumatoid arthritis and has the crucial clinical significance of early controlling and preventing disease progression. Full understanding, from both Western medicine (WM) and Chinese medicine (CM), could offer new ideas for decision making in clinical and mechanism research. This paper reviews the novel studies of WM and CM to discuss the advantages and potential mechanisms working behind.

Gene Knockdown in Human Rhinovirus 1B Using 2'-OMe-modified siRNAs Results in the Reactivation of the Interferon Response / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

The aim of this study was to investigate the knockdown efficiency of 2'-O-methylated (2'-OMe)-modified small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) on human rhinovirus 1B (HRV1B) replication and the interferon response. Thus, 24 2'-OMe-modified siRNAs were designed to target HRV1B. The RNA levels of HRV1B, Toll-like receptor 3, melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5, retinoic acid inducible gene-I, and interferons were determined in HRV1B-infected HeLa and BEAS-2B epithelial cells transfected with 2'-OMe-modified siRNAs. The results revealed that all 2'-OMe-modified siRNAs interfered with the replication of HRV1B in a cell-specific and transfection efficiency-dependent manner. Viral activation of Toll-like receptor 3, melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5, retinoic acid inducible gene-I, and the interferon response was detected. In conclusion, the 2'-OMe-modified siRNAs used in this study could interfere with HRV1B replication, possibly leading to the reactivation of the interferon response.

Relationship between AKAP95, cyclin E1, cyclin D1, and clinicopathological parameters in lung cancer tissue / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the correlation between expression of A-kinase anchoring protein 95 (AKAP95) and protein expression of cyclin E1 and cyclin D1 in lung cancer tissue.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty-one cases of lung cancer were included in the study. The protein expression of AKAP95, cyclin E1, and cyclin D1 were measured by immunohistochemistry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The protein expression of cyclin E1 in lung cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in para-cancerous tissues (positive rate: 75.56%vs 20%, P < 0.01); its expression showed no relationship with histopathological type, lymph node metastasis, and cellular differentiation (P > 0.05). The protein expression of cyclin D1 in lung cancer tissues was higher than that in para-cancerous tissues (positive rate: 69.39% vs 14.29%); its expression showed a significant relationship with histopathological type (P < 0.05). The expression of AKAP95 was correlated with the protein expression of cyclin E1 and cyclin D1 in lung cancer tissues (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Cyclin E1 and cyclin D1 are highly expressed in lung cancer tissue, suggesting that they play an important role in the development and progression of lung cancer. The protein expression of cyclin E1 has no relationship with cellular differentiation, lymph node metastasis, and histopathological type of lung cancer, and the protein expression of cyclin D1 has a significant relationship with histopathological type. The expression of AKAP95 is correlated with the protein expression of cyclin E1 and cyclin D1 in lung cancer tissue.</p>

Genetic characterization of G II.12 norovirus in Beijing from 2008 to 2009 / 中华实验和临床病毒学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To reveal the genetic characteristics of GII.12 Norovirus strains isolating from stool samples of adults with diarrhea in Beijing during 2008-2009.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>RdRp, ORF2, ORF3 and ORF1/ORF2 overlap region were respectively amplified by primers using RT-PCR. The products were purified, cloned, sequenced and then aligned, phylogenetic and recombinant analyzed by softwares of DNAStar, MEGA and SimPlot.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>According to the phylogenetic analysis, 11 strains belonged to G II.g in the RdRp region,while GII.12 in the ORF2 and ORF3. SimPlot analysis further confirmed the 11 strains were recombinant strains ( G II.g [RdRp]/G II.12 [capsid]).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>G II.12 Norovirus prevailing in Beijing and other regions of the world belonged to the same strain, and we identified the genetic characteristics of G II.12 Norovirus in Beijing.</p>

Advances in epidemiological study of post-traumatic stress disorders in postwar civilian survivors / 解放军医学杂志

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a feeling of persecution arising from the exposure to a life-threatening event. PTSD shows three kinds of characteristic symptoms including intrusive, avoidance, and arousal syndromes. Numerous literatures had been published on the study of the PTSD epidemiology. However, research results varied due to different research subjects and evaluation methods used. A big difference exists between the studies on refugees, migrating population, and community population, because these studies are affected by different definitions of war trauma, difference in choice of samples, and application of psychological intervention. Therefore, no exact conclusions have been established on the accurate incidence of PTSD in civilians after having endured war trauma or mental torture. Currently, studies on PSTD are still inadequate. The first reason for this inadequacy is the difference existing between previous study methods. In addition, differences also exist in the statistical results between different research groups; the present study objects are all non-western ethnics or some specific population, thus selective bias existing in samples adopted. Secondly, the majority of the studies had no a control group, thus the results lacking reliability and universality. The third reason is that more attention should be paid to the impact of nationality and cultural background on the study of postwar PTSD. In summary, a large amount of work should be done in the field of PSTD epidemiology in the future. Therefore, it is very important to look for simple tools for screening and measuring PTSD in Chinese population, and investigate the incidence of PTSD after all kinds of traumatic events and its distribution for effectively preventing and treating PTSD.

Molecular epideiological and clinical feature of human calicivirus and adenovirus among children with diarrhea less than 5 years old from 2010 to 2011 in Lanzhou, Gansu province / 中华实验和临床病毒学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical and molecular epidemiology characteristics of calicivirus and adenovirus in children for viral diarrhea in Lanzhou.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Stool samples were collected from 295 children with diarrhea at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University, Gansu Province,China, between July 2010 and June 2011. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or PCR were used to detected calicivirus and adenovirus. The adenovirus positive samples were typed by nested PCR and multiple PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 295 specimens, 13.2% (39/295) were positive for calicivirus, and 5.1% (15/295) were adenovirus. Typing and Phylogenetic analysis revealed that novirus GII-3 and adenovirus 41 were the dominant strains. Both calicivirus and adenovirus predominately affect children under the age of 2. In seasonal distribution, there was no obvious peak.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Human calicivirus and adenovirus are important pathogens of viral diarrhea,it is important to develop long-term systematic surveillance.</p>

Detection of bovine rotavirus G10P11 in a diary farm in Daqing, China / 病毒学报

Group A rotavirus are the most frequently detected viral agent associated with the acute diarrhea in calves. In order to investigate the situation of rotavirus strains circulating in diary farms, a total of 117 fecal specimens were collected from diarrhea calves under 4 weeks-age on Yinluo diary farm in Daqing region in China from 2008 to 2009. Ten specimens were detected to be positive by a Rotavirus Group A Diagnostic Kit, which confirmed that the rotavirus was important viral agent associated with diarrhea in this diary farm. Based on the new classification system, G10P[11] genotype was determined in rotavirus positive samples. Sequence and Phylogenetic analysis indicated DQ-75 strain was introduced into our country with imported bovine.
