Objective:To establish Wistar rat models of acute radiation esophagitis, and observe the histopathological changes at different time points after modeling.Methods:Wistar rats were locally irradiated with different doses of 6 MV X-rays, and the rats were sacrificed on the 3 rd, 5 th, 7 th, and 14 th days after irradiation. The full-length esophagus tissue was taken for paraffin embedding, sectioning, and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining for pathological assessment. The pathological changes of the esophagus of the rats were observed at the 3 rd, 5 th, 7 th, and 14 th days after 25 Gy and 30 Gy irradiation. The changes of daily dietary intake of rats in different irradiation groups within 1-2 weeks after radiation exposure were observed. Results:No rat died in two groups after being irradiated with 25 Gy and 30 Gy rays. All the rats in the 30 Gy group had esophagus injury. On the 7 th day, the degree of injury was the most serious, with a pathological score of 5.00±0.75 and a food intake of 0 g. On the 14 th day, the degree of injury was relieved, and the food intake was restored to the level before irradiation. Conclusions:The Wistar rat model of acute radiation esophagitis can be established by a single dose of 6 MV X-ray 30 Gy irradiation to the esophagus. The 7 th day after irradiation is an ideal observation time for the acute injury phase, which is gradually alleviated after the 7 th day. The time can be chosen from 7-14 days after irradiation as the observation point for the healing repair phase.
Résumé
As a malignancy with the highest morbidity and mortality in the world, lung cancer poses a huge threat to the health and life safety of all human beings. Most lung cancer patients are already in the advanced stage when they are diagnosed, and the treatment of advanced lung cancer often brings heavy mental pressure and economic burden to patients but has little effect. Therefore, the early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer has become a major problem for medical researchers. At present, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and other treatment methods still have problems such as intolerance of patients and drug resistance, so there is an urgent need for human beings to seek new methods to treat lung cancer. Currently, the relationship between gut microbiota and disease occurrence, development, and prognosis, and the treatment of diseases by regulating gut microbiota have become a hot field of medical research. There are significant differences in gut microbiota between lung cancer patients and healthy people. Intestinal microorganisms can act on the respiratory system through the gut-lung axis, thereby affecting the occurrence, development, and prognosis of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases. As a peculiar means of treatment in China, Chinese medicine can effectively delay tumor progression, prevent postoperative recurrence and metastasis, reduce complications in the course of treatment, improve the quality of life, and prolong the survival of patients. Therefore, Chinese medicine is widely involved in the treatment of malignancies. Some Chinese medicine monomers, compounds, and active components have been found to regulate the gut microbiota. They can regulate the metabolism of the body, control the inflammatory response, build an immune barrier, or play a synergistic effect with various lung cancer treatments by affecting gut microbiota, so as to achieve the anti-tumor purpose. This article systematically reviewed the research on Chinese medicine and effective components in regulating gut microbiota, creating tumor-suppressing microenvironment, and intervening in the treatment of lung cancer, in order to provide new research ideas for the treatment of lung cancer.
Résumé
Lung cancer tops the disease list in the world due to the high incidence and mortality, and about 85% of lung cancer cases is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Most NSCLC patients are in the advanced stage at the time of diagnosis, with a low 5-year survival. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays a role in the comprehensive treatment of malignant tumors. Oral Chinese patent medicines, as an important part of TCM, have the advantages of stable preparations, mild taste, simple package, and accurate effective ingredients, which are different from decoctions. They have been widely used in the adjuvant treatment of NSCLC. In clinical practice, the combination of oral Chinese patent medicines with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or radiotherapy, as well as the application of the oral Chinese patent medicines alone, can increase efficiency, reduce toxicity, prolong the survival time of patients, and improve the quality of life. The mechanisms of oral Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of NSCLC mainly include inhibiting the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of lung cancer cells, promoting the apoptosis of lung cancer cells, inhibiting tumor neovascularization, reversing multidrug resistance, and regulating the immune functions, which reflects the multi-pathway and multi-target manner of TCM. The oral Chinese patent medicines commonly used in the clinical treatment of NSCLC include Jinfukang oral liquid, Shenyi capsules, Pingxiao capsules, Xiao'aiping tablets, Kanglaite capsules, compound Cantharis capsules, Huisheng oral liquid, Yangzheng Xiaoji capsules, Xihuang pills, Zilongjin tablets, and Cinobufagin capsules. There are many clinical and basic studies about the treatment of NSCLC with these medicines, while a systematic review remains to be carried out. Therefore, we systematically reviewed the mechanisms and clinical application of commonly used oral Chinese patent medicines in the adjuvant treatment of NSCLC, aiming to provide reference for follow-up research and clinical treatment.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of dengue fever in Hangzhou in 2018.Methods:RT-PCR was used to detect the nucleic acids and analyze the serotypes of dengue viruses (DENV) in serum samples collected from dengue fever cases. Phylogenetic trees based on the E gene sequences of DENV isolated from the serum samples were then constructed and analyzed. Epidemiological characteristics of these dengue fever cases were analyzed. Results:A total of 80 cases of dengue fever were detected in Hangzhou in 2018 with 55 imported cases and 25 indigenous cases (24 caused by DENV-1 and one by DENV-3). These indigenous cases mainly occurred during late July to early October with people above 50 years old accounting for 68%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that DENV-1 strains isolated from the indigenous cases in Yuhang, Jianggan-Shangcheng and Qiantang districts all belonged to genotype Ⅰ, and were respectively closely related to the strains from Indonesia in 2015, Myanmar in 2017, Ningbo in 2018 and Hangzhou imported cases from Thailand in 2018. The indigenous DENV-3 strain belonged to genotype Ⅲ, and shared 99.5% homology with the Singapore strain in 2013.Conclusions:Imported cases accounted for a large fraction of the dengue fever cases in Hangzhou, which brought a high risk to indigenous outbreak. Due to multiple imported cases, the current epidemic presented a characteristic of multiple small-scale outbreaks.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence of influenza B virus in Hangzhou between 2014 and 2019, and the variation in hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes.Methods:Viruses were isolated from throat swabs collected from 10 481 patients with influenza-like illness in Hangzhou from October 2014 to September 2019. The subtypes of influenza viruses were identified by real-time RT-PCR. HA and NA genes of some influenza B virus strains were amplified with specific primers and then analyzed with gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.Results:Influenza B virus had circulated in Hangzhou every year since 2014 and caused a much higher morbidity in people aged 5-14 years. The Victoria lineage of influenza B virus circulating in Hangzhou between 2014 and 2019 belonged to the V1A clade, while the Yamagata lineage belonged to the Y3 clade. Homology analysis showed that 124 strains shared 94.67%-100.00% homology in HA gene sequences and 128 strains shared 97.13%-100.00% homology in NA gene sequences. Influenza B virus possessed several mutations in the antigenic sites of HA and NA.Conclusions:Influenza B virus played a critical role in the influenza epidemics in Hangzhou. During 2014 to 2019, genetic mutations in the antigenic sites of HA and NA and reassortant strains were detected, and there was a mismatch between epidemic and vaccine strains. However, no drug-resistant virus was found.

Objective To develop a microsphere-based suspension array for simultaneous detec-tion and identification of Salmonella H antigens by using Luminex xTAG technology and to evaluate its capa-bility in serotyping Salmonella strains. Methods The fliC and fljB genes, encoding the H antigen of Salmo-nella, were selected as the target genes. Universal upstream primers were designed based on the highly con-served regions of fliC and fljB genes, and the corresponding specific reverse primers were designed based on the variable regions. While synthesizing, the 5′end of each upstream primer was labeled with biotin and the 5′end of each specific reverse primer was modified with its certain TAG sequence. After amplified and la-beled with biotin and TAG sequence, the PCR products of specimens were hybridized with the mixture of va-rious MagPlex-xTAGTM microspheres. Each set of microspheres contained its unique anti-TAG sequences. The results of hybridization were analyzed by using Luminex MagPix reader system and the median fluores-cence intensity ( MFI) was reported. The H antigens of 145 Salmonella strains were identified with this de-veloped xTAG suspension array, and the results were compared with those obtained by using traditional ser-um agglutination test. Results The PCR products of different H antigens ranged from 94 bp to 245 bp and could be identified by hybridizing with MagPlex-xTAGTM microspheres. There was no cross-reaction between different H antigens or with DNAs derived from Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Shigella flexneri. Compared with the traditional serum agglutination test, the sensitivity and specificity of the xTAG suspension array in the identification of H antigens of 145 Salmonella strains were 95. 1% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion The developed xTAG suspension array was a specific, accurate and effective method for simultaneous detection and identification of 31 H antigens of common Salmonella serovars strains. It could be used for determining the H antigens of more than 90 Salmonella strains within 5 hours.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To understand the molecular epidemiologic features of human metapnenmovirus (hMPV) in children with respiratory tract infection in Hangzhou.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>2 593 throat swabs were collected from patients with respiratory tract infections who visited the hospitals with sentinel surveillance programs from January 2011 to December 2013, including 1 676 outpatients and 917 inpatients. Total nucleic acid was extracted from the specimens and the fusion (F) protein gene of hMPV was amplified by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), with positive samples picked to compare with the sequence of hMPV in GenBank, after the sequence of amplification products were determined. Other two types of common respiratory virus were tested using RT-PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The overall positive rate in this study was 6.51% (169/2 593), with 6.62% (111/1 676) in outpatients and 6.32% (58/917) in inpatients, but no statistically significant difference was found (χ(2) = 0.086, P = 0.769). The rates was 7.01% in males and 5.72% in females, with no statistically significant difference in different sex (χ(2) = 1.676, P = 0.195). The positive rate was 14.14% (28/198)in the 2-year-olds, 14.01% (22/158)in 3-year olds. The rate in 2-year olds was higher than in other groups, with statistically significant differences between the groups (χ(2) = 38.654, P = 0.000). Of the 169 positive cases, 153 (90.53%) in the younger than 5 years olds. The rates of infection with hMPV in winter and spring were statistically higher than in summer and autumn (χ(2) = 67.032, P = 0.000). The rate of co-infection was 19.52% (33/169). 88 amplified productions were selected for gene sequence analysis, and the F gene homology were 81.6%-100.0% with reference strains in GenBank. Data showed that all the 4 viral subtypes: A2 (52.27% , 46/88), B1 (37.51%, 33/88), B2 (9.09%, 8/88) and A1 (1.13%, 1/88) co-circulated during the study. However, different subtypes appeared predominant in different years:hMPV subtype B1 was in 2011 and 2012, subtype A2 in the end of 2012 and in 2013. Of the 88 specimens, gene sequences were determinate, with A genotype accounted for 67.56% (25/37), B genotype for 32.43% (12/37)in children younger than 1-year olds, and A genotype accounted for 43.13% (22/51), B genotype for 56.86% (29/51)in children above 1-year olds. Significant differences between the two groups (χ(2) = 5.143, P = 0.023) were noticed.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>It was confirmed that hMPV was one of the substantial pathogens causing the respiratory tract infections. Data from our study suggested that the peak time of hMPV infection predominated during winter and spring in Hangzhou. Both hMPV subtype B1 and subtype A2 were found popular in this study, with hMPV genotype A dominating in children younger than 1-year olds.</p>
