ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo determine the genomic characteristics of a subgenus B human adenovirus strain isolated in Shanghai in 2021. MethodsAn adenovirus type 55 strain was isolated and identified from a patient with acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis （AHC）. Complete genome of the strain was obtained using the next-generation sequencing （NGS）. Phylogenetic trees were reconstructed based on the sequences of Hexon， Fiber， Penton and complete genome to genomically characterize this strain. ResultsPhylogenetic analysis based on the complete genome classified this strain （MH2021001） into subgenus B， subspecies B2 of HAdV-55. Hexon gene of MH2021001 had close phylogenetic relationship with HAdV-11， while Fiber and Penton genes had close relationship with HAdV-14. The MH2021001 showed high nucleotide identity with currently prevalent HAdV⁃55 strains （>99.90%）. The complete genome had 99.96% nucleotide identity to the 73-GD_CHN_2016 strain isolated in Guangdong. In addition， the amino acid sequence of MH2021001 had several substitutions in regions coding for E1B， L4， E3 and L5. ConclusionThis strain has been classified to HAdV-B55. No recombination event is identified in the complete genome. Due to multiple amino acid substitutions， the biological characteristics of the strain need to be further identified.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the effects of Liuwei Dihuang Decoction on expressions of TGF-β1 and complement regulatory protein CR1 of the renal on IgA nephropathy rats.Methods Forty SD rats were randomized into normal group, model group, tripterygium glycosides group and Liuwei Dihuang Decoction group after adaptive feeding for one week. Complex method was used to establish IgA nephropathy model. All administration groups were given relevant medicine for gavage for 4 weeks;urine routine, the number of urine erythrocyte and 24 h urine protein were detected;creatinine, urea nitrogen, total serum protein and serum alburin were detected from blood;the renal pathological changes were observed under light microscope by HE and Masson staining;the expressions of TGF-β1 and CR1 were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with model group,Liuwei Dihuang Decoction could significantly decrease the proteinuria and hematuria levels and renal fibrosis changes of IgA nephropathy model rats, reduce the expression of TGF-β1, and raise the expression of CR1 (P<0.05).Conclusion Liuwei Dihuang Decoction can delay the renal fibrosis in IgA nephropathy rats through reducing the degree of TGF-β1 and promoting the expression of CR1.
ABSTRACT
Objective Survey the classification on diseases of patients in hospital. Discuss personnel arrange-ment of nursing staff. Methods Survey and star sickbed number,CD rate/month,nurse number accounted on nursing level and sickbed-nurse ratio in 2007, discuss personnel arrangement of nursing staff. Results It is different that the nurse number accounted by two means, Z=2.234,P=0.025. The correlation about CD rate and nurse number in theories: r=0.782,p=0.004, nurse number in theories= CD ratex0.51-17.11, F=16.543,p=0.003.Conclusion CD rate should be reasonable personnel arrangement of nursing staff.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the interaction between the calcium channel antagonist nimodipine and growth factors (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] and platelet-derived growth factor[PDGF]) during the formation of new retinal vessels. Methods: The hyperoxia model was induced by proliferative retinopathy (OIR) in newborn Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. SD rats (2 d after birth) were randomized into 5 groups: normal control group, pure OIR group and group 3, 4 and 5, where the animals received retrobulbar injection of nimodipine 10 ?l, 5 ?l and 2 ?l once every 2 d for 3 times, respectively. Both eyeballs of newborn rats were made into common pathological sections and detected by immunohistochemistry method to count the nuclei of proliferative retinal vessel cells and to investigate the expression of VEGF and PDGF in retina. Results: The nuclei of proliferative retinal vessel cells and the expressions of VEGF and PDGF in pure OIR group increased significantly compared to those of normal control group(P
ABSTRACT
The histopathological changs of the dog eyes caused by acute and subacute toxic effectsof hematoporphyrin monoether--PsD-044 were observed in this research. The results showed thatPsD-044 could lead to keratoscleritis and scleral perivasculitis. Phototoxic cyclitis and inflammatory edema of the retina were more serious in deferred killed animals, suggesting that it is necessary to avoid exposure to light after the administration of PsD-044.
