Study on the diterpenoids from radix illicii Maji and their antiviral activity against coxsackie B virus / 国际药学研究杂志

Objective To investigate he diterpenoids from he roots of Illicium majus(Radix Illcii Maji) and their antiviral activity against the Coxsackie B virus. Methods The compounds were isolated by column chromatography over silica gel, octadecylsi-ane chemically bonded silica gel(ODS), and Sephadex HL-20 coupled with preparative HPLC. Their stuctures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and the in situ dimolybdenum circular dichroism(CD) method, and their antiviral activities against the Coxsackie B3 virus were evaluated by cytopathic effect(CPE) method. Results Twelve diterpenoids were isolated from the roots of Illicium ma-jus, which were identified as 4-epi-dehydroabietic acid(l), 8,11,13,15-abietatraen-19-oic acid(2), jiadifenoic acids B(3), C(4), G(5) and 1(6), majusanic acids B(7) and D(8), lambertic acid(9), angustanoic acids F(10) and G(ll), and 13-hydroxy-8,11, 13-podocarpatrien-19-oic acid(12). These diterpenoids displayed antiviral activity against the Coxsackie B3 virus, with IC50 values of 3. 3-66. 7 μmol/ml. Conclusion The antiviral activity and cytotoxicity of the diterpenoids relate o he substituent species and position. Compounds 3-6 and 9 were obtained from his plant for the first time.

Advancement of the relationship between coxsackie virus infection and type 1 diabetes / 国际儿科学杂志

In recent years,the studies have shown that the incidence of type 1 diabetes(T1D)is closely related to the infection of human enteroviruses,particularly Coxsackie B Viruses(CVB).On one hand.the researches show that vires infection can induce T1D,and it is associated with the viral amount.the viral strain,and the host microenvironment.On the other hand,the studies confirm that viral infection also can inhibit the incidence of T1D.In terms of the factors,which is related to the vires infection-inducing.T1D.and the possible mechanism of the virus infection-inhibiting-T1D,the article aims to explore the relationship between CVB infection and the incidence of T1D based on referring to foreign literatures in recent years.

Circulating Adhesion Molecules in Patients with Keshan Disease and Their Relationship with Coxsackie B Virus Infection / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

This study determined the levels of serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sI-CAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecular-1 (sVCAM-1) in patients with different types of Keshan disease (KD),examined the relationship between Coxsackie B virus-specific lgM antibody (CBV-IgM) and sICAM-1 or sVCAM-1 in KD patients,and investigated the role of these adhesion molecules in the pathogenesis of KD and their clinical implications.The levels of serum slCAM-1,sVCAM-1 and CBV-IgM were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 22 patients with chronic Keshan disease (CKD),27 with latent Keshan disease (LKD) and 28 healthy controis.The subjects in different groups were adjusted for sex and age.Echocardiography was adopted to determine left ventrieular ejection fraction (LVEF) in 22 patients with CKD.The results showed that CKD patients had significantly higher levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 than LKD patients and healthy controls (P<0.01 for all).And there was significant difference in the levels of the 2 adhesion molecules between LKD patients and healthy controls (P<0.05).A negative correlation was found between LVEF and sICAM-1 or sVCAM-1 in CKD patients.The percentage of CBV-specific IgM positive individuals in KD patients was significantly higher than that of healthy controls.In CVB-specific IgM positive patients,the levels of serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were significantly greater than those in CBV-specific IgM negative counterpart.It was concluded that the increase in the levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 suggests the progression of inflammation in KD.sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 can promote the development of myocardial pathology and lead to poor myocardial function.The increased serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 in KD patients may be related to CBV infection.

Immunological Manifestation of Children with Recurrent Respiratory Tract Inflammation Caused by Superinfection / 实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To investigate the influence of coxsackie B virus (CVB) and mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) superinfection on immunological manifestation of recurrent respiratory tract inflammations(RRI) in children.Methods One hundred and thirty-two hospitalized children with RRI between Jan.to Dec.2005 were divided into negative control group,MP infection group,CVB infection group and superintection group by determining anti-MP IgM and anti-CVB IgM.Blood sedimentation,C-reactive protein,IgG,IgA,IgM and T lymphocyte subpopulation etc.were determined in four groups.The anti-MP IgM was determined by specificity immune agglutination test.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect anti-CVB IgM.The IgG,IgA,IgM were determined by simple agar diffusion method.T lymphocyte subpopulation was tested by flow cytometry.Results The percentage of CVB infection was 32.1%,mainly expressed in the 1-3 years old children;the percentage of MP infection was 22.7%,mainly expressed in children over 3 years old.In both CVB and MP infection group,the ten-dency of IgG increased and that of IgA decreased.IgM in the CVB and MP superinfection group was obviously higher than that in negative control group and MP infection group (Pa

Comparison Study between Immunohistochemical Staining and Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay in Metalloproteinases and Tissue inhibitor of Metalloproteinases in Virus induced Myocarditis

PURPOSE: Most tissue disruption of extracellular matrix is mediated by extracellular proteinases. Matrix metalloproteinases(MMP) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases(TIMP) are associated with wound healing and repair. There has been no study done on MMP and TIMP in myocarditis. METHODS: Coxsackie B virus(4,000 plaque forming unit) was injected into Balb/c mice by intraperitoneal injection. Histopathological finding was observed by H-E staining. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using the Labelled Streptavidin Biotin(LSAB) kit for MMP-2, TIMP-2, and Interleukin(IL) 6. The results were compared to the serum levels by ELISA method. RESULTS: MMP-2 was strongly expressed in complicated myocarditis such as calcification, severe fibrosis, thrombosis, or dilated cardiomyopathy compared to normal or uncomplicated myocarditis. TIMP-2 expression was decreased in severe myocarditis. Serum MMP-2 levels were significantly higher in complicated myocarditis, but TIMP-2 levels were significantly lower. There was significant correlation between the grade of immunohistochemical staining and serum MMP-2 or TIMP-2 level by ELISA method. IL-6 was strongly expressed in immunohistochemical staining according to the severity of inflammation. CONCLUSION: There was significant correlation between grade of immunohistochemical staining and serum levels of MMP or TIMP by ELISA method. Accurate estimations of serum MMP and TIMP levels would be useful for the diagnosis and follow up of myocarditis.

The Protective Effect of Astragalus saponins on Coxsackie B, Virus Infected New Born Rat Myocardiac Cells in Culture / 第二军医大学学报

The protective effect of Astragalus saponins or Astragalus mongholicus bunge on the micro -model of cultured new born rat heart cells infected with Coxsackie B, virus was observed. After inoculation with 1000 TCID Coxsackie B, virus, the cardiac enzyme lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) was much lower in the Astragalus saponins or Astragalus mongholiais bunge treated groups than in those untreated groups, but the synthesis rate of DNA was higher. Virus titer in the supernatant of cultures was detected 48 h after virus challenge. The virus titer of the Astragalus saponins (Lg 3.78 TCID) or the Astragalus mongholiais bunge (Lg 4.33 TCID50) treated groups was lower than in those untreated groups (Lg 5.78 TCID50). These results show that the Astragalus saponins may be a useful drug in treatment of acute viral myocarditis.
