流行性出血热病毒的细胞融合作用

我们的实验结果揭示流行性出血热病毒(EHFV)在酸性条件下可导致感染细胞发生融合,细胞间隙消失,细胞界限不清,细胞和细胞连在一起,形成多核的巨细胞体,姬姆薩染色比未融合细胞浅。融合液(Eagle’s基础培养液,含0.2％BSA,20mmol/L HEPES),用1.0NNaOH调pH至5.0—6.0时,细胞融合最甚,几乎所有的感染细胞都     

Effects of hypothalamic microinjection of PGE2 on body temperature and sympathetic nervous activities in the rabbit

The febrile response and sympathetic nervous response to hypothalamic microinjections of prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) were investigated in anesthetized rabbits. Microninjection of PGE₂ (500–1000 ng) caused an increase in rectal temperature of more than 0.3°C in 13 of 50 loci in the preoptic and anterior hypothalamic area (PO/AH). At 8 of these 13 loci, PGE₂ elicited response patterns in the sympathetic nervous system, such as an increase in cutaneous sympathetic nervous activity and decrease in renal sympathetic nervous activity. This pattern of sympathetic nervous responses was induced with a simultaneous increase in rectal temperature of more than 0.5°C. The 8 loci were distributed in the preoptic area, especially in the vicinity of the supraoptic nucleus. Electrolytic lesions of this region were made bilaterally, and intracerebroventricular injection of PGE₂ (8 µg/kg) was found to inhibit fever and sympathetic activity. The results demonstrate that the action of PGE₂ is responsible for the response patterns of sympathetic twigs during fever. The preoptic area, especially in the vicinity of the supraoptic nucleus, is most sensitive to PGE₂ for the patternized response of sympathetic neurons and fever.     

A serotype-specific epitope of dengue virus 1 identified by phage displayed random peptide library

Abstract From a panel of monoclonal antibodies of dengue viruses, a serotype-specific epitope of dengue virus 1 was screened from a random peptide library displayed on phage. The epitope was the determinant reactive with monoclonal antibody 15F3-1 that was specific to dengue 1. The screening was monitored by a dot blotting procedure, and after three rounds of screening a consensus motif, HRYSWK, was found. This sequence matches the sequence HKYSWK, corresponding to the amino acid residues 885–890 of polyprotein or residues 111–116 of the non-structural protein 1 of dengue virus serotype 1. The linear epitope was confirmed by testing the antigenicity of chemically synthesized 8-branched peptide.     

两种方法检测接种流行性出血热沙鼠肾细胞灭活疫苗后人体的中和抗体

本文应用空斑减少中和试验(PRNT)和细胞病变中和试验(cPENT)两种方法对出血热沙鼠肾细胞灭活疫苗扩大人体免疫后的血清进行中和抗体水平检测。根据两种方法对总计74人份的免疫后血清检测比较结果,两种方法检测的抗体阳转率和抗体水平(GMT)。CPENT法均高于PRNT法,经统计学处理均有显著性差异。不同免疫组的中和抗体水平比较结果,注射三针的阳转率(n=10,100％)高于两针组(n=10,20—30％);接种加氢氧化铝佐剂疫苗(n=13)较接种不加佐剂的两种疫苗(n=26)的抗体水平高,阳转率为92％—100％GMT为22—69;皮下途径(n=15)和肌肉途径(n=13)注射无明显差别,阳转率分别为87—93％和92—100％,GMT分别为29—46和22—61。以上结果进一步肯定沙鼠肾细胞疫苗的人体免疫性     

一株广谱中和抗原性出血热病毒株的发现

一株分离自杭州市褐家鼠的出血热病毒Gou_3株的免疫血清对10株I型病毒的中和滴度除二株为160外均为320,而对4株Ⅱ型病毒的滴度为320—640,说明Gou_3株免疫血清对两型毒株中和效价大多数无差异或只差2倍,是一株中和抗原广谱的毒株。用I型和Ⅱ型毒株免疫血清对Gou_3株进行型别检定结果表明Gou_3株是Ⅱ型病毒。

Association of Allergic Symptoms with Dengue Infection and Severity: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

The relationship between the severity of dengue infection and allergy is still obscure. We conducted an electronic search across 12 databases for relevant articles reporting allergic symptoms, dengue infection, and dengue classification. These studies were categorized according to dengue severity and allergy symptoms, and a meta-analysis was performed by pooling the studies in each category. Among the included 57 articles, pruritus was the most common allergic sign followed by non-specified allergy and asthma(28.6%, 13%, and 6.5%, respectively). Despite the reported significant association of dengue with pruritus and total Ig E level(P \ 0.05), in comparison with non-dengue cases and healthy controls, there was no association between the different severe dengue group with pruritus, skin allergy, food allergy or asthma. However,removing the largest study revealed a significant association between asthma with dengue hemorrhagic fever(DHF) rather than dengue fever(DF). In comparison with DF, DHF was associated with Ig E positivity. Furthermore, specific-Ig E level was higher in secondary DF rather than primary DF. There was a possible association between allergy symptoms and dengue severity progression. Further studies are needed to clarify this association.
