RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of human adenovirus (HADV) 2, 3 and 7 in hospitalized children with respiratory infection. Methods: A total of 25 686 children with respiratory infection hospitalized at Children's Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively included.Deep sputum or nasopharyngeal aspirates of those children were collected. Then thirteen common respiratory pathogens were detected by multiplex PCR. 510 HADV positive specimens were randomly selected via random number and classified for type 2, 3 and 7 using a multiplex real-time quantitative PCR. SPSS 21.0 software was used to perform all of the statistical analyses. Enumeration data were expressed by frequency and percentage. χ2 test was used for comparison between groups. Results: The HADV-positive rate was 7.99% (2 052/25 686). Children at age 3-<6 years had the highest HADV-positive rate (11.44%). The HADV-positive rate in 2019 was highest (10.64%). Among the 510 HADV-positive specimens, the proportion of type 3 was the highest (31.16%), followed by type 7 (21.37%) and type 2 (11.18%). The rate of type 2 in 2019 was significantly lower than that in 2018 and 2020 (χ2=8.954 and 16.354; P=0.003 and <0.01), while the rate of type 3 was significantly higher than that in 2018 and 2020 (χ2=5.248 and 4.811; P=0.022 and 0.028). The rate of type 2, type 3 and type 7 were lowest in winter, spring and autumn, respectively. The rate of type 2 increased significantly in autumn and the rate of type 3 and type 7 increased significantly in winter.The co-detection rate of HADV with other respiratory pathogens was 43.33%(221/510). Among, the co-detection rate of type 3 was highest (47.32%), and the co-detection rate of type 2, 3 and 7 was significantly higher than the alone detection rate (χ2=20.438, P<0.01; χ2=42.105, P<0.01; χ2=27.573, P<0.01).The proportion of severe pneumonia in children with type 7 positive (15.89%) was higher than that in children with non-type 7 positive (8.23%) (χ2=5.260, P=0.022). Conclusion: HADV is one of the important pathogens of children with respiratory infection in Children's Hospital of Hebei Province. The susceptible population of HADV is preschool children aged 3 to 6 years. HADV often co-detects with other respiratory pathogens. Type 3 and 7 is likely to be the dominant genotypes in this region, and type 7 may be one of the risk factors of severe pneumonia in children.

PURPOSE@#High explosives are used to produce blast waves to study their biological effects. The lungs are considered as the critical target organ in blast-effect studies. The degree of lung hemorrhaging is related to both the explosive power and the increased lung weight. We studied the characteristics of the biological effects from an air explosion of a thermobaric bomb in a high-altitude environment and the lethality and lung injury severity of goats in different orientations and distances.@*METHODS@#Goats were placed at 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 m from the explosion center and exposed them to an air blast at an altitude of 4700-meter. A group of them standing oriented to the right side and the other group seated facing the explosion center vertically. The lung injuries were quantified according to the percentage of surface area contused, and using the pathologic severity scale of lung blast injury (PSSLBI) to score the 4 injury categories (slight, moderate, serious and severe) as 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The lung coefficient (lung weight [g]/body weight [kg]) was the indicator of pulmonary edema and was related to lung injury severity. Blast overpressure data were collected using blast test devices placed at matching locations to represent loadings to goats. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS, version 26.0, statistical software (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).@*RESULTS@#In total, 127 goats were involved in this study. Right-side-standing goats had a significantly higher mortality rate than those seated vertical-facing (p < 0.05). At the 2.5 m distance, the goat mortality was nearly 100%, whereas at 5 m, all the goats survived. Lung injuries of the right-side-standing goats were 1 - 2 grades more serious than those of seated goats at the same distances, the scores of PSSLBI were significantly higher than the seated vertical-facing goats (p < 0.05). The lung coefficient of the right-side-standing goats were significantly higher than those of seated vertical-facing (p < 0.05). Mortality, PSSLBI, and the lung coefficient results indicated that the right-side-standing goats experienced severer injuries than the seated vertical-facing goats, and the injuries were lessened as the distance increased. The blast overpressure was consistent with these results.@*CONCLUSION@#The main killing factors of the thermobaric bomb in the high-altitude environment were blast overpressure, blast wind propulsions and burn. The orientation and distances of the goats significantly affected the blast injury severity. These results may provide a research basis for diagnosing, treating and protecting against injuries from thermobaric explosions.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the expression of acidic mammalian chitinase(AMCase) in lung tissue of silicosis model rats, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) and serum of patients with occupational pneumoconiosis, and to evaluate the value of AMCase in the early diagnosis of pneumoconiosis. METHODS: i) The specific pathogen free adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group and model group, with 15 rats in each group. The rats in the silicosis model group was exposed to free silica dust with a concentration of 2 000.0 mg/m~3 by dynamic inhalation for three hours a day, while the rats in control group were not exposed to dust. Five rats in the two groups were sacrificed at 4, 12 and 24 weeks after dust exposure. ii) By random number table method, a total of 191 patients with occupational pneumoconiosis who received large capacity lung lavage were selected as the pneumoconiosis group, 12 dust-exposed workers who received large capacity lung lavage were selected as the dust control group, and 200 healthy coal miners exposed to dust were selected as healthy control group. iii) Western blotting was used to detect the relative protein expression of AMCase, type Ⅰ collagen(COLⅠ), α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) in lung tissues of the rats and the relative protein expression of AMCase in human BALF. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the level of AMCase protein in human serum. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of AMCase protein level in human serum for early diagnosis of pneumoconiosis. RESULTS: The relative expression of AMCase, COLⅠand α-SMA protein in lung tissue of rats in the silicosis model group were higher than that of control group(all P<0.01). The relative expression of AMCase protein in BALF of pneumoconiosis group and pneumoconiosis stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ subgroups were higher than that of dust control group(all P<0.05). The level of AMCase protein in serum of pneumoconiosis group and pneumoconiosis stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ subgroups were higher than that of healthy control group(all P<0.05). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve was 0.78(95% confidence interval: 0.74-0.82).When the cut-off value of serum AMCase protein level was 466.0 ng/L, the sensitivity was 73.8%, and the specificity was 72.6%. CONCLUSION: AMCase protein in human serum has value for early diagnosis of pneumoconiosis and it could be a potential biomarker for early diagnosis of pneumoconiosis.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND@#The effectiveness of bronchial thermoplasty (BT) has been reported in patients with severe asthma. This study compared the effects of BT and cryoballoon ablation (CBA) therapy on the airway smooth muscle (ASM).@*METHODS@#Eight healthy male beagle dogs were included in this experiment. In the preliminary experiment, one dog received BT treatment for both lower lobe bronchus, another dog received CBA treatment for 7 s on the upper and lower lobe of right bronchus, and 30 s on the left upper and lower lobe. The treatments were performed twice at an interval of 1 month. In subsequent experiments, the right lower lobe bronchus was treated with BT, and the left lower lobe bronchus was treated with CBA. The effects of treatment were observed after 1 (n = 3) month and 6 months (n = 3). Hematoxylin-eosin staining, Masson trichrome staining, and immunohistochemical staining were used to compare the effects of BT and CBA therapy on the ASM thickness, collagen fibers synthesis, and M3 receptor expression after treatment. One-way analysis of variance with Dunnett post hoc test was used to analyze the differences among groups.@*RESULTS@#In the preliminary experiment, the ASM ablation effect of 30-s CBA was equivalent to that of 7-s CBA (ASM thickness: 30.52 ± 7.75 μm vs. 17.57 ± 15.20 μm, P = 0.128), but the bronchial mucociliary epithelium did not recover, and large numbers of inflammatory cells had infiltrated the mucosal epithelium at 1-month post-CBA with 30-s freezing. Therefore, we chose 7 s as the CBA treatment time in our follow-up experiments. Compared with the control group (35.81 ± 11.02 μm), BT group and CBA group (13.41 ± 4.40 μm and 4.81 ± 4.44 μm, respectively) had significantly decreased ASM thickness after 1 month (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the ASM thickness was significantly lower in the 1-month post-CBA group than in the 1-month post-BT group (P = 0.015). There was no significant difference in ASM thickness between the BT and CBA groups after six months (9.92 ± 4.42 μm vs. 7.41 ± 7.20 μm, P = 0.540). Compared with the control group (0.161 ± 0.013), the average optical density of the ASM M3 receptor was significantly decreased in 6-month post-BT, 1-month post-CBA, and 6-month post-CBA groups (0.070 ± 0.022, 0.072 ± 0.012, 0.074 ± 0.008, respectively; all P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the average optical density of ASM M3 receptor between the BT and CBA therapy groups after six months (P = 0.613).@*CONCLUSIONS@#CBA therapy effectively ablates the ASM, and its ablation effect is equivalent to that of BT with a shorter onset time. A neural mechanism is involved in both BT and CBA therapy.

RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Unbiased next generation sequencing (NGS) is susceptible to interference from host or environmental sequences. Consequently, background depletion and virome enrichment techniques are usually needed for clinical samples where viral load is much lower than background sequences.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A viral Sequence Independent Targeted Amplification (VSITA) approach using a set of non-ribosomal and virus-enriched octamers (V8) was developed and compared with traditionally used random hexamers (N6). Forty-five archived clinical samples of different types were used in parallel to compare the V8 and N6 enrichment performance of viral sequences and removal performance of ribosomal sequences in the step of reverse transcription followed by quantitative PCR (qPCR). Ten sera samples from patients with fever of unknown origin and 10 feces samples from patients with diarrhea of unknown origin were used in comparison of V8 and N6 enrichment performance following NGS analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A minimum 30 hexamers matching to viral reference sequences (sense and antisense) were selected from a dataset of random 4,096 (46) hexamers (N6). Two random nucleotides were added to the 5' end of the selected hexamers, and 480 (30 × 42) octamers (V8) were obtained. In general, VSITA approach showed higher enrichment of virus-targeted cDNA and enhanced ability to remove unwanted ribosomal sequences in the majorities of 45 predefined clinical samples. Moreover, VSITA combined with NGS enabled to detect not only more viruses but also achieve more viral reads hit and higher viral genome coverage in 20 clinical samples with diarrhea or fever of unknown origin.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The VSITA approach designed in this study is demonstrated to possess higher sensitivity and broader genome coverage than traditionally used random hexamers in the NGS-based identification of viral pathogens directly from clinical samples.</p>

<p><b>PURPOSE</b>We once reported blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) in confined space. Here, bTBI was studied again on goats in the open air using 3.0 kg trinitrotoluene.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The goats were placed at 2, 4, 6 and 8 m far from explosion center. Trinitrotoluene (TNT) was used as the source of the blast wave and the pressure at each distance was recorded. The systemic physiology, electroencephalogram, serum level of S-100 beta, and neuron specific enolase (NSE) were determined pre and post the exposure. Neuroanatomy and neuropathology were observed 4 h after the exposure.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Simple blast waveforms were recorded with parameters of 702.8 kPa-0.442 ms, 148.4 kPa-2.503 ms, 73.9 kPa-3.233 ms, and 41.9 kPa-5.898 ms at 2, 4, 6 and 8 m respectively. Encephalic blast overpressure was on the first time recorded in the literature by us at 104.2 kPa-0.60 ms at 2 m, where mortality and burn rate were 44% and 44%. Gross examination showed that bTBI was mainly manifested as congestive expansion of blood vessels and subarachnoid hemorrhage, which had a total incidence of 25% and 19% in 36 goats. Microscopical observation found that the main pathohistological changes were enlarged perivascular space (21/36, 58%), small hemorrhages (9/36, 25%), vascular dilatation and congestion (8/36, 22%), and less subarachnoid hemorrhage (2/36, 6%). After explosion, serum levels of S-100b and NSE were elevated, and EEG changed into slow frequency with declined amplitude. The results indicated that severity and incidence of bTBI is related to the intensity of blast overpressure.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Blast wave can pass through the skull to directly injure brain tissue.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the role and effect of Schwann cells (SCs) remyelination in contused spinal cord.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Green fluorescence protein expressing-SCs were transplanted into the epicenter, rostral and caudal tissues of the injury site at 1 week after the spinal cords were contused. At 6 weeks, the spinal cords were removed for cryosections, semithin sections and ultrathin sections, and then immunocytochemical staining of myelin basic protein (MBP), P0 protein (P0) and S100 protein (S100) was carried out on the cryosections. Qualitative and semiquantitative analyses were performed on the cryosections and semithin sections. Ultrastructure of myelinated fibers was observed on the ultrathin sections under electron microscope.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Transplanted SCs and myelinated fibers immunocytochemically labeled by MBP, P0 as well as S100 distributed in whole injured area. The quantity of myelinated fibers labeled by the three myelin proteins showed no statistical difference, however, which was significantly larger than that of controls. On the semithin sections, the experimental group demonstrated more myelinated fibers in the injured area than the controls, but the fibers had smaller diameter and thinner myelin sheath under electron microscope.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SCs can promote regeneration of injured nerve fibers and enhance remyelination, which may be histological basis of SCs-mediated functional repair of injured spinal cords.</p>

Objective To establish methods for isolating and culturing the olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) from young adult GIT rat to lay the foundation for repair of the spinal cord injury.Methods The OECs were dissociated from the first outer layer of the olfactory bulb of the young adult GFP rat (2.5 months old) under anatomical microscope; enzymatic digestion was performed on these cells and then they were inoculated into DMEM/F12 with 20% fetal calf serum. The morphology of OECs was regularly observed and photographied under light and electronic microscope. On the 10th culture day, the OECs were identified by the immunocytochemistry staining of S-100 and NGFRp75 and the purity (the positive rate) was calculated. Results The OECs showed strong green fluorescence under fluorescent microscope and presented morphological types of bipolar and bearing multipolar. More than 95% of the cultured cells were identified to be OECs, which expressed S-100 and NGFR p75. The cell structure revealed by electron microscope was much accordance with that by light microscope. Conclusion This method is easy to perform and high purity of GFP-OECs can be harvested with the same morphological characteristics and biological activity as general OECs. Therefore, OECs derived from the GFP transgenic rat can be effective tool cells, and widely used in studying the role of OECs in the repair of spinal cord injury
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the survival and the number of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) transplanted in the contused spinal cord, so as to provide a basis for further studying the biological action of OECs.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The rat spinal cords were contused with NYU-impactor II at T10 level by dropping a 10 g rod from a height of 25 mm. At the 1st week after injury, OECs isolated freshly from green fluorecense protein (GFP) of the rats were transplanted into the spinal cord at injured site and other two sites 1 mm apart from the caudal and rostral ends with the OECs number of 30000/μl x 3 = 90000. The survival and the number of OECs were qualitatively and semi-quantitatively observed under the fluorescense microscope from 1 week to 13 weeks after transplantation. The motor function of the cord was evaluated with BBB score.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>GFP-OECs could survive at least for 13 weeks within the contused spinal cord. Their arrangement was from tight to loose and their number was decreased from 1 week to 13 weeks after injury. The average number of GFP-OECs was 536 at the 1st week, which was less than 1% of the number as compared with original transplantation. After then, the number of GFP-OECs was continually decreased, but the most obvious decrease was found during 1 week to 2 weeks. The extent of decrease at other time points was relatively mild. In contrast to the cell number, motor function of the cord was gradually recovered after transplantation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The survival and the number of GFP-OECs are different between the animals and are affected by the pathological reaction of the host cord. Also it is related to the motor function recovery of the contused cord.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the adhesion,proliferation and osteodifferentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)on the prepared lactic acid/glycolic acid/asparagic acid-co-polyethylene glycol(PLGA-[ASP-PEG])tri-block polymer scaffolds.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Modified PLGA with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and asparagic acid(ASP)that has many liga nds,and then the synthesis PLGA-[ASP-PEG] tri-block polymer material was prepared. BMSCs were cultured in PLGA-[ASP-PEG] polymer material and poly lactic acid-co-glycolic acid(PLGA)were used as control group. Precipitation method, MUT assay and total cellular protein detection were used to test the adhersion and proliferation of BMSCs. After the third generation of BMSCs was cultured on PLGA-[ASP-PEG] tri-block polymer scaffolds for 14 day and 28 day with osteogenic supplements,the osteodifferentiation of MSCs were observed through alkaline phosphatase(ALP) staining and calcium tubercle staining.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>BMSCs grew adherent to the surface of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] polymer scaffolds and the number of BMSCs was much higher than that of PLGA. The precipitation method suggested that adhesion and proliferation of BMSCs on the surface of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] was much higher than the control group (P < 0.05). MTU assay showed that after BMSCs were cultured for 20 days,the absorbance A of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] polymer scaffolds and PLGA were 1.336 and 0.780 respectively. Total cellular protein could image the adhersion and proliferation of BMSCs indirectly. After BMSCs were cultured for 12 days,the total cellular protein of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] and PLGA were 66.44 microg/pore and 41.23 microg/pore respectively. PLGA-[ASP-PEG] polymer scaffolds had well biocompatibility and cell adhersion. The positive results with ALP staining and calcium tubercle staining in both groups indicated tri-block polymer scaffold and its degradations had no effect on osteodifferentiation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>PLGA-[ASP-PEG]could improve the adhesion and proliferation of seed cells on bone-matrixmaterial, maintain the morphous of seed cells and had no obvious effect on cell osteodifferentiation.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the application value of multislice computed tomographic perfusion imaging (MSCTPI) and multislice computed tomographic angiography (MSCTA) on traumatic cerebral infarction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>MSCTA was performed on 10 patients who were initially diagnosed as traumatic cerebral infarction by normal conventional computed tomography (NCCT), among whom, 3 patients were examined by MSCTPI simultaneously. Reconstructed images of the intracranial artery were made with techniques of maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR) from MSCTA scanning data. Then the graph of function of four parameters, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV), mean transit time (MTT), and time to peak (TTP), acquired by the perfusing analysis software was obtained.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among the 10 patients with traumatic cerebral infarction, 6 showed complex type on NCCT, which depicted abnormality on MSCTA, and 4 showed simple type on NCCT, which had negative results on MSCTA. Among the 4 patients with abnormal great vessels, 2 suffered from stenosis or occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, 1 from spasm of the anterior cerebral artery, and 1 from spasm of the vertebral-basal artery. The image of MSCTPI of 1 patient with massive cerebral infarction on the right cerebral hemisphere confirmed by CT was smaller than those of the other patients, which showed occlusion of the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery on MSCTA. Among the 6 patients whose MSCTA showed no abnormality, 4 showed simple infarction and 2 showed complex infarction. The infarction focus of 5 patients occurred in the basal ganglia and 1 in the splenium of corpus callosum. Among the 2 cases of small cerebral infarction volume on NCCT, one was normal, the other showed hypoperfusion on MSCTPI and was normal on MSCTA.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The combination of MSCTPI and MSCTA is very useful for evaluating the change of intracranial artery in ischemic regions and assessing the cerebral hemodynamic information of traumatic cerebral infarction.</p>
