Typical hemophagocytic syndrome associated with cytomegalovirus infection in an immunocompetent patient: a case report and literature review / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is currently prevalent in populations throughout the world, and 56%‍-94% of the global population is seropositive for CMV. CMV infection mainly affects immunocompromised hosts. In these cases, it can cause significant symptoms, tissue-invasive disease, and many sequelae including death (Dioverti and Razonable, 2016). The vast majority of healthy adults with CMV infection experience an asymptomatic course; when symptomatic, it manifests as a mononucleosis-like syndrome in approximately 10% of patients (Sridhar et al., 2018). The gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system appear to be the most frequent sites of severe CMV infection in immunocompetent individuals (Rafailidis et al., 2008). However, CMV infection is relatively rarely recorded in immunocompetent hosts.

Conclusion The enteral immune nutrition can effectively reduce the incidence of AKI in sepsis patients, and the mechanism may be related to the immune nutritional preparation can inhibit the expressions of pro-inflammatory factors such as TNF-α, IL-6, etc.

Effects of isoflurane and pentobarbital on the establishment of subarachnoid block model in rats / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

Objective To compare the effects of isoflurane and pentobarbital on the establishment of subarachnoid block model in rats.Methods 60 SD rats aged 4 months were randomly divided into Group A (n =30) and Group B (n=30).Rats in Group A received intraperitoncal injection of 10 g/L pentobarbital sodium solution 30 mg/kg and 1/4 of the initial dosage was added according to the operation effect.The induction and maintenance of anesthesia were achieved by isoflurane inhalation in Group B during operation.We recorded the time of anesthesia induction,quality of anesthesia,time of anesthesia,time of operation,and recovery time.The heart rate,respiration frequency,temperature,and saturation of blood oxygen were recorded during operation.We compared death from anesthesia and success of modeling in the two groups.Results There was no significant difference between the groups with regard to age,weight,body temperature or saturation of blood oxygen (P＞ 0.05).Compared to Group B,heart rate decreased 1-60 minutes after anesthesia and respiration frequency decreased 5 minutes after anesthesia in Group A (P＜0.05).The time of anesthesia induction,time of anesthesia,time of operation,and recovery time were shorter in Group B (P＜0.05).The quality of anesthesia was better in Group B (P＜0.05).The success rate of modeling was higher but mortality rate of anesthesia was lower in Group B than in Group A (P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium,isoflurane inhalation can provide a better anesthetic effect during the operation to establish a rat model of subarachnoid block.

The effect of dexmedetomidine on the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during recovery from breast cancer surgery under general anaesthesia / 天津医药

Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during recovery from breast cancer surgery under general anaesthesia. Methods A total of 120 patients undergoing unilateral breast cancer radical operation were randomly divided into four groups:group C (infusion of saline, n=30), group D0.5 [infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.5μg/(kg·h) during operation, n=30], group D0.6 [dexmedetomidine 0.6μg/(kg·h), n=30] and group D0.7 [dexmedetomidine 0.7 μg/(kg · h), n=30]. The end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane during surgery and postoperation were observed. The end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane on palinesthesia was recorded. The time from stopping administration of anesthetic drug to palinesthesia and the operation time were recorded. The palinesthesia of patients from general anaesthesia and the degree of emergence agitation of the patient were measured using Riker ’s sedation-agitation scale. The operation time, anesthesia time, intraoperative remifentanil dosage, intraoperative auditory evoked potential index (AAI), sevoflurane inhalation concentration and the corresponding time were recorded. Results There were no significant differences in clinical data, remifentanil dosage, operation time and AAI between four groups. The anesthesia time was longer in group D0.7 than that in the other three groups (P7 was lower in groups D0.5, D0.6 and D0.7 (P4 was significantly higher in group D0.6 and group D0.7 than that in group C and group D0.5, but the ratio of score>6 was lower (P3 was higher in group D0.7 than that of other three groups (P<0.05). Intraoperative cardiac tachycardia was found in group D0.6 and group D0.7 (4 cases, 13%and 8cases, 7%). Conclusion Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia and intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.6μg/(kg·h) can effectively reduce intraoperative sevoflurane dosage, the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during recovery, and the occurrence of agitation in patients undergoing general anesthesia.

T cell receptor β-chain CDR3 spectratyping and cytomegalovirus activation in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients / 浙江大学学报·医学版

To explore the association between T-cell receptor beta variable (TCR BV) complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) spectratyping and CMV activation in the recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).Fluorescence quantitative PCR melting curve analysis was used to sequence 24 TCR BV families in 7 HSCT recipients and 3 healthy controls. CMV-pp65 antigenemia was measured by immunohistochemical staining. Plasma IgM specific for CMV was identified using ELISA. Relationship between TCR BV families and CMV activation was statistically analyzed.Twenty-four TCR BV families were expressed in 3 healthy controls, while TCR BV CDR3 sequencing results in 7 recipients turned out to be BV9, BV11, BV17, BV20 and so on. Amino acid sequence features were as follows:TCR BV9 contained "QVRGGTDTQ", TCR BV11 contained "VATDEQ" and "LGDEQ", TCR BV17 contained "IGQGNTEA", and TCR BV20 contained "VGLAANEQ". Five recipients suffered from pp65 antigenemia in 3 month after transplantation, and pp65-positive cells ranged from 2 to 15 per 5×10white blood cells. Three recipients were CMV-IgM positive. No significant differences were found in TCR BV families between pp65-positive recipients and pp65-negative recipients (all>0.05). But there was statistically significant difference in frequency of TCR BV11 between CMV-IgM negative recipients and CMV-IgM positive recipients (<0.05).T cell immune response was characterized by special TCR BV CDR3 spectratyping in HSCT recipients, and TCR BV11 expression may be associated with CMV activation.

Development of two potential diagnostic monoclonal antibodies against human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B

Human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B (gB) represents a target for diagnosis and treatment in view of the role it plays in virus entry and spread. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, rare detection of a gB antigen has been reported in transplant patients and limited information is available about diagnostic gB monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Our aim was to develop gB mAbs with diagnostic potential. Hydrophilic gB peptides (ST: amino acids 27-40, SH: amino acids 81-94) of favorable immunogenicity were synthesized and used to immunize BALB/c mice. Two mAbs, named ZJU-FH6 and ZJU-FE6, were generated by the hybridoma technique and limited serial dilution and then characterized by indirect ELISA, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemical staining. The mAbs displayed high titers of specific binding affinities for the ST and SH synthetic peptides at an mAb dilution of 1:60,000 and 1:240,000, respectively. Western blotting and immunoprecipitation indicated that these mAbs recognized both denatured and native gB of the Towne and AD169 strains. The mAbs, when used as the primary antibody, showed positive staining in cells infected with both Towne and AD169 strains. The mAbs were then tested on patients submitted to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The gB antigen positivity rates of the patients tested using ZJU-FH6 and ZJU-FE6 were 62.0 and 63.0%, respectively. The gB antigen showed a significant correlation with the level of pp65 antigen in peripheral blood leukocytes. In conclusion, two potential diagnostic gB mAbs were developed and were shown to be capable of recognizing gB in peripheral blood leukocytes in a reliable manner.

Conclusions Surgical treatment for thoracolumbar fractures can effectively recover the spine structure and promote the nerve function recovery. The surgical approach should be selected based on the fracture type.

JC virus infection in kidney transplant recipients / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective To investigate JC virus(JCV) infection in kidney transplant recipients and its influence on graft function and also initially explore JCV infection factors. Methods A total of 49 kidney transplant recipients and 24 health examination persons were enrolled in our study, JCV DNA was measured using nested qualitative polymerase chain reaction assays of urine, while CMV DNA was measured by common qualitative polymerase chain reaction assays of urine. JCV infection factors, such as age, male, immunosuppressive therapy, cytomegalovirus(CMV) infection were analyzed by Binary Logistic Regression, and glomerular filtration rate(GFR) was selected as a index of kidney function and the difference of GFR between JCV-infected and non-infected patients was compared using t test. Results JCV was detected in 42.9% of kidney transplant patients and 4.2% health examination persons. CMV infection and Pred + MMF + CsA triple immunosuppressive regimen were found to be the risk factors of JCV infection. No difference of GFR was observed between JCV infected and non-infected patients (86.470 ± 29.990 and 84.060 ± 33. 729 for each; t =0. 259, P =0.797). Conclusion JCV is frequently detected in kidney transplant recipients. CMV infection and using of Pred + MMF + CsA triple immunosuppressive regimen can significantly increase the risk of JCV infection. While, graft function was not influenced by JCV infection in kidney transplant patients.

Objective To obtain the full-length cDNA sequences of CYP2E1,CYP2D5,ECHS1,which may be related with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,from Microtus fortis.Methods To construct Microtus fortis liver cDNA plasmid library using SMART technique,to get the purposed colonies through screening libraries by PCR,and to obtain their full-length cDNA sequences by sequencing with pBluescript II SK universal primers M13R.Results Three full-length cDNA sequences of Microtus fortis,CYP2E1,CYP2D5 and ECHS1 were obtained.The CYP2E1 cDNA was 1685 bp in length and contained a 1482 bp open reading frame(ORF) encoding a 494 amino acids.The CYP2D5 cDNA was 1690 bp in length,and contained a 1514 bp ORF encoding 504 amino acids.The ECHS1 cDNA was 1013 bp in length,and containsed an 873 bp ORF encoding 290 amino acids.Sequence analysis revealed that the identity of the three cDNA sequences and deduced amino acids among Microtus fortis,Homo sapiens,Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus was high.Conclusion The full-length cDNA sequences of CYP2E1,CYP2D5,ECHS1 were obtained from Microtus forti,liver cDNA library.and the gene sequences have been deposited in GenBank (GQ507485,GQ507486,GQ845171),which may lay the foundation for researchies of pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Microtus fortis models.

The correlation of HBV infection and HCMV reactive infection after liver transplantation / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective To study the correlation of HBV infection pretransplantation and posttrans-plantation and HCMV recurrence after liver transplantation (LT). Methods We reviewed historical patient medical records of LT patients in recent two years in our hospital. All the patients were divided into HBV in-fection group and a control group based on a peripheral blood HB antigen assay before LT. The HBV infec-tion group was divided into HBV reactive infection group and HBV non-relapse group. HCMV antigen pp~65 was detected by immunohistochemical methods. HB antigens and antibodies were detected by time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay, and liver enzyme levels were detected by conventional methods. Results Com-paring two groups of patients, pp65-positive rates of LT patients with HBV infection and control group pa-tients were 84.3% and 57.9% respectively (P=0.024). While in HBV recurrence infection group and non-recurrence infection group, the incidences of HCMV recurrence were 90.9% and 83.3% (P=0.843). The changes in the liver transaminases level in both groups have no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusion Pretransplantation HBV infection may increase the incidence of HCMV recurrence. Posttrans-plantation HBV reactive infection, however, may not increase the incidence of HCMV reactive infection. Meanwhile, compare with either HBV infection or HCMV infection alone, co-infection may not serious in liv-er enzymes levels.
