四川省自贡市幼儿园3至5岁儿童乙型肝炎病毒感染情况及影响因素

为了解四川省自贡地区3～5岁幼儿乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染情况,并探索与感染有关的因素,1985年调查了1167名幼儿,其HBV总感染率为41.13％,HBsAg阳性率12.68％。幼儿的HBV感染与母亲HBsAg阳性密切相关。共检查母亲409例,38例HBsAg阳性,其幼儿HBsAg阳性率为50％(19/38),HBsAg阴性的母亲371例,其幼儿HBsAg阳性率9.97％(37/371),来自HBsAg阳性母亲的阳性子女占33.3％(19/56)。1986年随访HBV易感幼儿448例,HBV年感染率为12.95％(58/448),HBsAg年阳转率3.79％。HBV年感染率与原幼儿班级HBsAg阳性率的高低有关。     

Structural and functional relationships of human DNA polymerases

A continuing theme of our laboraory, has been the understanding of human DNA polymerases at the structural level. We have purified DNA polymerases delta, epsilon and alpha from human placenta. Monoclonal antibodies to these polymerases were isolated and used as tools to study their immunochemical relationships. These studies have shown that while DNA polymerases delta, epsilon and alpha are discrete protiens, they must share common structural features by virtue of the ability of several of our monoclonal antibodies to exhibit cross-reactivity. A second approach we have taken is the molecular cloning of human DNA polymerase delta and epsilon. We have cloned the DNA polymerase delta cDNA, and this has allowed us to compare its primary structure to those of human polymerase alpha and other members of this polymerase family. Multiple sequence alignments have revealed that human DNA polymerase delta is also closely related to the herpes virus family of DNA polymerases. In situ hybridization has shown that the human DNA polymerase delta gene is localized to chromosome 19 q13.3–q13.4. In order to further determine the functional regions of the DNA polymerase δ structure we are currently expressing human pol δ inE. coli and baculovirus systems. Other work in our laboratory is directed toward examining the expression of DNA polymerase δ during the cell cycle.     

Analysis of microRNA expression profiles in porcine PBMCs after LPS stimulation

In the present study, we used microRNA (miRNA) sequencing to discover and explore the expression profiles of known and novel miRNAs in 1000 ng/ml LPS stimulated for 8 h vis-à-vis non-stimulated (i.e. control) PBMCs isolated from the blood of healthy pigs. A total of 291 known miRNAs were bio-computationally identified in porcine PBMCs, and 228 novel miRNAs (not enlisted in the swine mirBase) were identified. Among these miRNAs, ssc-miR-148a-3p, ssc-let-7g, ssc-let-7f, 3_8760, ssc-miR-26a, ssc-miR-451, ssc-miR-21, ssc-miR-30d, ssc-miR-99a and ssc-miR-103 were the top 10 most abundant miRNAs in porcine PBMCs. Through miRNA differential analysis combined with quantitative PCR, we found the expressions of ssc-miR-122, ssc-miR-129b, ssc-miR-17-5p and ssc-miR-152 were significantly changed in porcine PBMCs after LPS stimulation. Furthermore, targets prediction and function analysis indicated a significant enrichment in gene ontology functional categories related to diseases, immunity and inflammation. In conclusion, this study on profiling of miRNAs expressed in LPS-stimulated PBMCs provides an important reference point for future studies on regulatory roles of miRNAs in porcine immune system.     

UDP‐Api/UDP‐Xyl synthases affect plant development by controlling the content of UDP‐Api to regulate the RG‐II‐borate complex

Rhamnogalacturonan‐II (RG‐II) is structurally the most complex glycan in higher plants, containing 13 different sugars and 21 distinct glycosidic linkages. Two monomeric RG‐II molecules can form an RG‐II‐borate diester dimer through the two apiosyl (Api) residues of side chain A to regulate cross‐linking of pectin in the cell wall. But the relationship of Api biosynthesis and RG‐II dimer is still unclear. In this study we investigated the two homologous UDP‐D‐apiose/UDP‐D‐xylose synthases (AXSs) in Arabidopsis thaliana that synthesize UDP‐D‐apiose (UDP‐Api). Both AXSs are ubiquitously expressed, while AXS2 has higher overall expression than AXS1 in the tissues analyzed. The homozygous axs double mutant is lethal, while heterozygous axs1/+ axs2 and axs1 axs2/+ mutants display intermediate phenotypes. The axs1/+ axs2 mutant plants are unable to set seed and die. By contrast, the axs1 axs2/+ mutant plants exhibit loss of shoot and root apical dominance. UDP‐Api content in axs1 axs2/+ mutants is decreased by 83%. The cell wall of axs1 axs2/+ mutant plants is thicker and contains less RG‐II‐borate complex than wild‐type Col‐0 plants. Taken together, these results provide direct evidence of the importance of AXSs for UDP‐Api and RG‐II‐borate complex formation in plant growth and development.     

2017-2020年河南省漯河市呼吸道合胞病毒流行特征研究

呼吸道合胞病毒(Respiratory syncytial virus,RSV)是引起严重急性呼吸道感染(Severe acute respiratory infection,SARI)的一个重要病原,尤其以5岁以下儿童为主.为了解河南省漯河市SARI住院患者中RSV感染的流行病学和临床特征,为RSV预防控制及临床诊疗提供科学数据,本研究采集2017年10月至2020年8月河南省漯河市SARI住院病例的咽拭子,并收集流行病学和临床信息.采用荧光定量PCR方法鉴定RSV A/B阳性病例,分析其流行病学和临床特征.结果显示,本研究共入组1335例SARI病例,其中220例(16.48％)为RSV阳性,A和B亚型分别占64.55％和30.45％.RSV感染以5岁以下儿童为主(占91.36％),2岁以下婴幼儿占RSV感染病例的一半以上(占55.37％).RSV流行高峰出现在11月-次年1月,不同年份流行季可前后相差一个月.A﹑B亚型在不同月份可单独流行也可共流行.受新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情影响,2020年2-8月SARI病例数较往年同期减少60％以上,RSV阳性率在2020年2-8月降低为0.与非RSV感染组相比,RSV更易感染2岁以下儿童,下呼吸道感染占比更高(以支气管肺炎为主).本研究通过近3年SARI病例监测,揭示河南省漯河市RSV感染以冬春季常见,以下呼吸道感染为主,主要感染5岁以下儿童,其中2岁以下婴幼儿是防控重点人群.新型冠状病毒肺炎流行期间,由于限制性防控措施的干预,RSV感染大大降低.本研究将为RSV疫苗和单克隆抗体等预防性干预手段的使用策略提供基础数据.
