    Virus infection can cause several diseases in human. In the past decades, outbreaks and epidemics of respiratory infectious diseases caused by coronary viruses, especially coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), have become serious health hazards and posed huge challenges to public health. The development and application of viral vaccines have been an important means to counteract the spread of viruses. Historically, poliovirus and hepatitis B virus vaccines have successfully suppressed the transmission of diseases and provided a model for the development of vaccines. Recently, the emergence of novel technologies and platforms such as recombinant viral vector and mRNA vaccine has provided new approaches to the development of vaccines against emerging infectious diseases including COVID-19. This paper reviews the current situation and progress of platforms, summarizes problems to be solved, and forecasts the directions of viral vaccines development.

    Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by a novel coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become the worst pandemic and public health crisis across the globe once a century. This pandemic has caused huge losses in both human lives and global economy. Innate immunity is the first line of defense against pathogenic invasions. Extensive studies by scientists in China and the world have reported that SARS-CoV-2 can employ multiple strategies to evade host innate immunity, and such immune evasion mechanisms have become critical contributing factors for the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2. On the other hand, the pathogenesis of COVID-19 has been found to be closely relevant with the pro-inflammatory responses induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans. This paper provides a brief review to the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and innate immunity as well as inflammation.

    Abstract1845)      PDF(pc) (15618KB)(398)       Save
    Objective To investigate whether lung function was causally associated with risk of fatality of COVID-19 based on a two-sample Mendelian randomization study. Methods This two-sample Mendelian randomization study used summary-level datasets of genome-wide association studies(GWAS)of forced vital capacity(FVC)and risk of fatality of COVID-19 from the UK Biobank. Inverse-variance weighted(IVW), MR-Egger regression, and weighted median estimator(WME)were conducted to investigate the association of lung function with risk of fatality of COVID-19, in which the OR values were used as indicators. Results A total of 287 single nucleotide polymorphisms were enrolled as instrumental variables. Statistically significant directional pleiotropy was not found(P=0.107). IVW regression demonstrated that per 1 elevated SD of FVC resulted in decreasing 62% of fatality risk in COVID-19 patients(OR=0.38, 95%CI: 0.18-0.80). MR-Egger regression also obtained a similar effect(OR=0.08, 95%CI: 0.01-0.61). WME analysis showed no significant association of FVC with risk of fatality of COVID-19(OR=0.44, 95%CI: 0.14-1.42). Conclusion Lung function might be negatively related to risk of fatality of COVID-19.

    Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), an important human tumor virus, is closely related to the occurrence of a variety of tumors, including 10% gastric cancer. The role of EBV in gastric carcinogenesis has received increasing attention and EBV is considered to be another pathogenic factor in addition to Helicobacter pylori. In EBV-associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC), a typical characteristic is the extensive methylation of viral and host genomes, which expresses a limited number of viral genes including EBV nuclear antigen 1, EBV encoded small RNAs, Bam HI-A rightward transcripts, latent membrane protein 2A and miRNAs. Combined with other epigenetic mechanisms, EBV infection acts as an epigenetic driver of EBVaGC oncogenesis. This review will discuss the impact of EBV on the epigenetic alterations in EBVaGC and its role in oncogenesis.

    Objective: To explore the genetic characteristics of avian influenza virus (AIVs) between 2014 and 2019 in three southern provinces of China. Methods: A total of 30 231 environment samples isolated from Jiangxi, Hunan and Guangxi provinces from 2014 to 2019 were tested for flu A with real-time RT-PCR. If the testing results were positive, the samples were propagated in SPF chicken embryonated eggs. All positive AIVs isolations were sequenced. CLC, CD-HIT, MAFFT v7.037 and MEGA v6.06 software were used to analyze the influenza sequences. Results: Altogether 11 H10 subtype AIVs were isolated. Whole genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis revealed that all genes were classified into Eurasian lineage, except 3 N8 genes in the North American lineage. JX24472 had close relationship with human infection H10N8 AIVs in its HA segment. The internal genome of 5 H10N3 subtype AIVs isolated from Jiangxi Province suggested their genome were diverse and complex. Molecular characteristic analysis of H10 subtype AIVs revealed that several mutations in key amino acid sites were associated with receptor binding sites, pathogenicity in mice and transmissibility in mammals. Conclusion: Phylogenetic analyses of the 11 H10 subtype AIVs isolated in this research suggested that they were in different clade with human infected H10N8 AIVs, except JX24472. Whereas the amino acid characterization analysis suggested that these H10 subtype viruses had the potential to infect human or poultry to make them sick. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the continuous surveillance of H10 subtype AIVs and prepare for the next potential pandemic.

    Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is widely adopted in clinical orthopedics for its safe and non-invasive treatment. However, the experience-based subjective decision-making and long-lasting manual operation of physicians in the conventional orthopedic ESWT have limited its further development. As intelligent technologies are rapidly getting into the orthopedic ESWT, this review summarizes the state-of-the-art of research and application of intelligent technologies in orthopedic ESWT from aspects of computer navigation, machine learning and robotics. Computer navigation technologies can intuitively assist physicians to accurately locate the shock wave probe on the anatomical target of patients. The machine learning methods can automatically predict energy parameters in ESWT. Robotic systems have demonstrated their potential advantages in clinical efficacy especially in the dramatical alleviation of the operation intensity of physicians. These intelligent technologies provide comprehensive support for intellectualization of orthopedic ESWT from eye, brain and hand, respectively. This review also concludes the future technical trends from aspects of the ESWT biological mechanism and dose-effect relationship, the treatment protocol planning and usability of machine learning, and the treatment automation and robotic assistance.

After pretreatment with calcitriol, the cells were divided into blank group, TGF-β1 group, calcitriol group, and TGF-β1+calcitriol group. The expressions of E-Cadherin, N-Cadherin, p-Akt and p-mTOR were detected with Western blotting. The migration ability of cells was detected with Transwell assay and scratch test. Results Western blotting showed statistically significant differences in the expressions of E-Cadherin(F=53.245, P<0.001)and N-Cadherin(F=54.429, P<0.001)in the blank group, 24 h TGF-β1 group, 48 h TGF-β1 group and 72 h TGF-β1 group. The expression of E-Cadherin in the 1ng/mL TGF-β1 group, 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 group and 100 ng/mL TGF-β1 group were significantly different with that in the blank group(F=27.368, P<0.001), and the expression of N-Cadherin was also different(F=14.272, P<0.001), among which the 10ng/ml TGF-β1 group for 48h showed the most significant difference. TGF-β1 induced the expression of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway related proteins and the expressions of interstitial markers in human bronchial epithelial cells, and the effects of TGF-β1 were statistically significant(P<0.001). However, calcitriol attenuated the effects, and the effects of calcitriol were statistically significant(P<0.001). There was no interaction between TGF-β1 and calcitriol(P>0.05). The results of Transwell test and scratch test showed that the migration ability of BEAS-2B cells in TGF-β1 treatment group was increased compared with that in the blank group(P<0.001). Compared with the TGF-β1 group, the TGF-β1+calcitriol group had decreased migration ability(P<0.001). Conclusion Calcitriol can inhibit the EMT bronchial epithelial cells induced by TGF-β1, thereby reducing airway inflammation and airway remodeling in asthma, which may involve calcitriol reducing the TGF-β1-activated proteins of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

    Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a special type of ectopic pregnancy in which a pregnancy sac is implanted at the scar of a previous caesarean section. Without appropriate diagnosis or treatment, it can lead to severe morbidity such as life-threatening massive hemorrhage, and uterine rupture, with subsequent effect of fertility, physical and mental health of patients. Although many different treatment options have been described, there is still no consensus on the optimal surgical treatment strategy. In recent years, treatment of CSP based on classification has drawn more and more attention. The practical clinical classification system with optimal surgical strategy for CSP has been widely validated in Shandong Province, which shows good application value and reliable therapeutic effects. Based on this classification system, and combined with clinical experience and the latest clinical research results, the expert consensus of clinical classification system and surgical strategy for CSP is formulated, aiming to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment, and to guide clinical work.

    Objective To explore the roles of H19 and nerve growth factor(NGF)in the development of ventricular arrhythmias(VAs)after myocardial infarction(MI). Methods MI rat models were established by left coronary artery occlusion. (1)A total of 14 healthy Sprague Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into the MI group and sham group, with 7 rats in each group. Seven days after MI was induced, the rats were sacrificed to determine the H19 expression with qRT-PCR. (2)A total of 32 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham+NC group, sham+siH19 group, MI+NC group and MI+siH19 group, with 8 rats in each group. H19-siRNA or the control virus was injected into the left ventricular myocardium of the rats. Programmed electrical stimulation was performed 7 days after MI was induced to observe the susceptibility to VAs. The effects of H19 on NGF, tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)and growth-associated protein 43(GAP43)were detected with qRT-PCR, Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. (3)A total of 24 rats were randomly divided into the MI+NC group, MI+siH19 group and MI+siH19+LV-NGF group for rescue test, with 8 rats in each group. The expressions of NGF, TH and GAP43 were detected with Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. Results The expression of H19 were up-regulated 7 days after MI was induced(P<0.001). H19 knockdown suppressed the positive staining area of TH and GAP43(P<0.001), decreased the susceptibility to VAs(P<0.01), and inhibited the expression of NGF(Z=-2.402, P=0.016). The inhibitory effect of H19 knockdown on sympathetic remodeling could be saved by overexpressed NGF(PTH<0.001, PGAP43=0.001). Conclusion H19 knockdown after myocardial infarction can inhibit sympathetic nerve remodeling by regulating the expressiou of NGF, thus reducing the incidence of arrhythmia.

    Objective To analyze the peripheral blood chromosome karyotypes of patients assisted with reproductive technology, so as to provide reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment and genetic counseling. Methods From Jan. 2015 to Dec. 2018, 1 438(719 couples)patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion(RSA)and 3 292(1 646 couples)patients with one-time spontaneous abortion undergoing assisted reproduction were selected for chromosome karyotype analysis. The types, incidences and ratios of chromosome variations between males and females were compared. Relationship between the number of spontaneous abortions and chromosome karyotypes was analyzed. Results Of the 1 438(719 couples)RSA patients, 320 chromosome abnormalities were detected, among which 165 were male cases and 155 were female cases. Chromosomal structural aberrations accounted for 57.58% of chromosomal abnormalities. The ratio of mutual translocations was the highest. For the number of abortions, significant differences were detected in chromosome reciprocal translocation and Robertsonian translocation between one-time spontaneous abortion group and RSA group(P<0.01), but no significant difference in chromosome inversion was observed(male P=0.21, female P=0.83). As the number of abortions increased, the trends of male and female chromosome aberration were statistically significant(P<0.01). Conclusion The rate of chromosomal abnormality in patients with one-time spontaneous abortion is lower than that in RSA patients. The most common chromosomal abnormality in RSA patients is chromosomal translocation, and the rate of chromosomal abnormality is not related to the number of abortions.

    Objective: To elucidate the dominant enteroviruses associated with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and the distributions of VP1 genotypes in Jinan City. Methods: Real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect enterovirus A71 (EV-A71), coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16), coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6) and coxsackievirus A10 (CV-A10) in 4929 HFMD specimens from 2012 to 2017 in Jinan. According to different years, 65 virus isolates of HFMD were retrospectively collected, including 17 strains of EV-A71, 16 of CV-A16, 20 of CV-A6 and 12 of CV-A10. The VP1 gene of enteroviruses was amplified by RT-PCR and the nucleotide sequencing was performed. Nucleotide homology analyses were performed and phylogenetic trees were constructed on the VP1 gene. Results: The dominant enteroviruses of HFMD were CV-A16 (28.3%), EV-A71(27.3%), CV-A6(17.0%) and CV-A10(3.0%) in Jinan. The lengths of VP1 gene on CV-A16, EV-A71, CV-A6 and CV-A10 amplified by RT-PCR were 891 bp, 1 015 bp, 1 110 bp and 993 bp, respectively. The nucleotide homology was 93.0%-98.1% for EV-A71 strains, 87.4%-100.0% for CV-A16 strains, 87.6%-99.7% for CV-A6 strains, and 95.8%-99.4% for CV-A10 strains. The phylogenetic trees showed that EV-A71 strains belonged to C4a genotype in Jinan, CV-A16 strains had two genetic subtypes (B1b and B1a); CV-A6 strains located in clusters C, E and F, and CV-A10 strains located in cluster E. Conclusion: The dominant enteroviruses of HFMD are CV-A16, EV-A71, CV-A6 and CV-A10 from 2012 to 2017 in Jinan. The long-term dynamic monitoring of the distribution of VP1 genotypes is of great public health significance for improving the early warning sensitivity for HFMD.

    Objective To develop and validate machine learning models based on interpretive cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR)parameters for prognosis evaluation of pediatric myocarditis. Methods A retrospective analysis of 45 pediatric patients with myocarditis was conducted. According to whether adverse cardiac events(ACE)occurred, the patients were divided into poor prognosis group(n=18)and good prognosis group(n=27). CMR scans were performed after hospitalization and 206 interpretive CMR parameters about myocardial function, myocardial strain, first-pass perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement(LGE)were obtained. The parameters were trained by the classification learner App in MATLAB and the training model with the highest accuracy was chosen as the best model. The receiver-operating characteristics(ROC)curve of the machine learning model was drawn to determine the prognostic performance. Results A total of 14 CMR parameters were selected as predictive factors, and those without correlation were used to construct the combined parameters. Among all these parameters, maximal signal intensity percentage(SI %)of the 7th segment of AHA had the best performance(AUC: 0.790, sensitivity: 0.667, specificity: 0.833). Combined parameters achieved the highest performance(AUC: 0.940, sensitivity: 0.750, specificity: 0.889). Conclusion The machine learning models based on interpretive CMR parameters can be used for prognosis evaluation of pediatric myocarditis, and combination of interpretive CMR parameters training with machine learning is more accurate than single ones.

    Objective To investigate the effect of the duration of gonadotropin(Gn)in the controlled ovarian hyper stimulation(COH)cycle on the number of eggs obtained, embryo development, and pregnancy outcome in those with good ovarian response, and to analyze the possible factors that contributed to the prolongation of Gn use. Methods A total of 3 054 patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(IVF-ET)were divided into groups A, B, and C according to the days of Gn use(group A: Gn days≤7 d; group B: 8 d ≤Gn days ≤11 d; group C: Gn days ≥12 d).The baseline data, COH and pregnancy outcomes were compared. The possible factors leading to the prolongation of Gn use were analyzed with Logistics regression. Results The highest BMI and FSH levels were found in group C(P=0.001), while the lowest AMH and AFC levels were found in group C(P=0.022, 0.002). The Gn starting dose, total Gn dose and downregulation days in group A were the least among the three groups(P<0.001). There were no significant differences among the three groups in indicators related to COH treatment and pregnancy outcomes(P=0.86, 0.57, 0.91, 0.64). Logistics regression showed that higher BMI and Gn starting dose were risk factors of prolonged Gn use, while higher AMH and AFC, lower FSH level and shorter downregulation days were protective factors of prolonged Gn use. Conclusion The duration of Gn use has no significant effect on the pregnancy outcomes of IVF-ET. Higher BMI and Gn starting dose can significantly prolong Gn use, while higher AMH and AFC, lower FSH level and shorter downregulation days can significantly shorten Gn use.

    The incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer in China rank the first of all tumors. At present, there are many effective treatment methods, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and other local and systematic treatments. In recent years, intratumoral chemotherapy, which combines the advantages of local therapy and systemic therapy, has gradually become the focus. By using ultrasound, bronchoscope, ultrasonic bronchoscope, endoscopic ultrasonography or CT and other imaging and interventional modalities, chemotherapeutics such as cisplatin, carboplatin, mitomycin, paclitaxel liposomes, fluorouracil in stock or diluted solutions are directly injected into the cancer tissue through the puncture needle. Intratumoral chemotherapy can increase the concentration of chemotherapeutics in the tumor tissue, reduce the systemic toxicity and side effects, and improve the local control rate of cancers. We have carried out clinical application and exploratory research on intratumoral chemotherapy for lung cancer, liver metastasis and bone metastasis, and observed patients' benefits and primary efficacy. This paper will summarize the technical procedure of CT-guided intratumoral chemotherapy.

    Objective To investigate the related factors of osteoporosis(OP)in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and to analyze their predictive value. Methods A total of 337 postmenopausal women with T2DM were selected. According to the results of bone mineral density, the patients were divided into the OP group(n=210)and normal bone mass group(NBM group, n=127). The general data of the subjects were recorded, and indexes such as HbA1c, liver function, kidney function and blood lipid were detected. The bone mineral density was measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The general data of the two groups were statistically analyzed. Logistics regression was used for multivariate analysis. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation among menopausal duration, age of menarche, age of menopause and other indicators. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the value of multivariate regression model in the diagnosis and prediction of OP. Results The age(P<0.001), duration of diabetes(P<0.001), age of menarche(P=0.001)and menopausal duration(P<0.001)in the OP group were higher or longer than those in NBM group, while the body mass index(BMI)in OP group was lower than that in NBM group(P=0.006). Binary Logistic regression results showed that age(OR=1.10, 95%CI=1.01-1.21, P=0.031), menopausal duration(OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.07-1.28, P<0.001), complicated nephropathy (OR=3.52, 95%CI=1.42-8.75, P=0.007)and calcium intake(OR=11.41, 95%CI=4.94-26.34, P<0.001)were risk factors for OP, while BMI(OR=0.86, 95%CI=0.78-0.95, P=0.002)and habitual exercise(OR=0.28, 95%CI=0.13-0.60, P<0.001)were protective factors. The AUC was 0.919; the optimal diagnostic cut-off value was 0.665; the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic efficacy were 81.3% and 89.8%, respectively. Conclusion Old age, long menopausal duration, complicated nephropathy, low BMI and lack of habitual exercise are the risk factors for OP in postmenopausal women with T2DM. The association between calcium intake and increased risk of OP may be related to the intentional increase in calcium intake.

    Objective To analyze the influencing factors of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, and to provide reference for the development of targeted intervention measures. Methods A total of 110 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes were selected with convenience sampling method during Nov. and Dec. 2021, and divided into MCI group and non-MCI group. The influencing factors of MCI were analyzed with univariate and multivariate non-conditional Logistic regression. Results Of the 110 patients, 72(65.45%)had MCI. There were statistically significant differences in age, education level, monthly family income, duration of diabetes and blood glucose before bedtime between MCI group and non-MCI group(P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the monthly family income(OR=0.236, 95%CI: 0.096-0.581), duration of diabetes(OR=1.077, 95%CI: 1.005-1.154), and blood glucose before bedtime(OR=1.213, 95%CI: 1.030-1.428)were the influencing factors of MCI(P=0.002, P=0.036, P=0.020). Conclusion The prevalence of MCI in patients with type 2 diabetes is high. Low family monthly income, long course of diabetes and high blood glucose before bedtime may increase the risk of MCI and should arouse attention.

    Objective To investigate the effects of bedside lung ultrasonography(LUS)and LUS scores on diagnosing neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS)and evaluating the pharmacological effects of pulmonary surfactant(PS). Methods A total of 70 neonates who were diagnosed with NRDS were allocated to the observation group, while the other 70 without lung diseases were allocated to the control group. The chest surface reflection was divided to 12 zones. NRDS signs in LUS and LUS scores were recorded. Bedside LUS was performed before PS treatment in the observation group, while LUS was performed after enrollment in the control group. The LUS results between two groups were compared to evaluate the diagnostic value of LUS in NRDS neonates. A total of 60 newborns in the observation group who need PS underwent another bedside LUS examination at 12 h after PS application. NRDS signs in LUS and LUS scores were compared before and after PS application, and the blood gas analysis and chest X-ray results were also compared. The role of LUS in the therapeutic effect of PS was also evaluated. Results The detection rate of NRDS signs in LUS and LUS score in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.001). LUS score showed a high sensitivity(98.57%)and specificity(100%)in the diagnosis of NRDS, and it predicted the use of PS in neonates with NRDS with a high sensitivity(90.00%)and specificity(90.00%). NRDS signs in the observation group reduced significantly 12 h after PS application than before, and LUS scores also decreased(P<0.001). Conclusion Bedside LUS is accurate and reliable in diagnosis of NRDS. The effects of PS can be accurately evaluated by real-time bedside LUS and LUS scores.

    LI Wanwan, ZHOU Wenkai, DONG Shuqing, HE Shiqing, LIU Zhao, ZHANG Jiaxin, LIU Bin
    Journal of Shandong University (Health Sciences)    2021, 59 (7): 74-84.   DOI: 10.6040/j.issn.1671-7554.0.2021.0002
    Abstract952)      PDF(pc) (10305KB)(96)       Save
    Objective To screen the immune-related long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)in breast cancer, construct a breast cancer prognostic risk assessment model, and explore the prognostic factors. Methods The sequencing data, clinical information and immune gene set of breast cancer patients from the official websites of UCSC Xena(https://xena.ucsc.edu/), TCGA, and immport(https://www.immport.org/home)were downloaded. The data were sorted and cleaned, and finally breast cancer immune-related lncRNA expression matrix and clinical information were got. Univariate Cox regression analysis and Multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to screen out lncRNAs related to prognosis, so as to construct a prognostic risk score. According to the median risk score, the patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups. Kaplan-Meier(K-M)survival analysis, receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis and independent prognostic factor evaluation were used to evaluate the model. Combined with other clinical factors and risk scores of breast cancer, a nomogram was drawn to predict the individual survival rate of breast cancer patients. Results Ten immune-related lncRNAs were determined to construct a risk scoring model. The high-risk group had a poorer prognosis compared with the low-risk group. Risk score could be used as an independent prognostic factor for breast cancer. The C-index(CI)of the nomogram was 0.751. The calibration chart showed that the predicted value was in good agreement with the actual observation value. Conclusion A risk scoring model composed of 10 immune-related lncRNAs can be used to assess the prognosis of the breast cancer patients, and the corresponding nomogram can further predict the survival rate.
