柯萨奇B组病毒致病性的分子生物学研究

柯萨奇B组病毒（coxsackievirus group B,CVB）是微小RNA病毒科肠道病毒属成员,病毒性心肌炎的病例中大约有20％-25％是由柯萨奇B组病毒引起。CVB的致病机制十分复杂,病毒基因组以及病毒蛋白均在病毒致病过程中发挥重要作用。因此,对柯萨奇B组病毒的基因组、结构蛋白以及某些非结构蛋白与靶细胞内分子间相互作用生物信息的认识是阐述该病分子机制的基础。     

肠道病毒溶瘤作用的研究进展

溶瘤病毒(oncolytic virus,OV)是一类能选择性地在肿瘤细胞中复制并且能够溶解肿瘤细胞,对正常组织细胞无损伤的自然状态或基因改造过的病毒。肠道病毒(enterovirus)是一类单股正链RNA病毒,包括脊髓灰质炎病毒(Poliovirus, PV)、柯萨奇病毒和埃可病毒等。研究证实多种肠道病毒具有溶瘤作用,如已在拉脱维亚等国上市的RIGVIR~?(埃可病毒7型,Echovirus 7, ECHO7),已进入Ⅱ期临床试验的柯萨奇病毒A组21型(Coxsackievirus A21, CVA21),以及处于临床前研究阶段的柯萨奇病毒B组3型(Coxsackievirus B3, CVB3)及PV等。现就有关肠道病毒的溶瘤作用作一概述。     

肠道病毒ECHO20血清型鉴定和VP1序列初步分析

肠道病毒(Enterovirus)是最常见的人类致病病毒之一,包括脊髓灰质炎病毒、柯萨奇A组病毒、柯萨奇B组病毒和ECHO病毒.一般认为大多数肠道病毒感染症状轻微或不明显,然而有时肠道病毒感染也可能是严重甚至致命的[1].2004年云南省潞西县局部地区发生小规模的甲肝流行,我们从当地部分患者粪便标本中分离到多株甲肝病毒,同时,经过肠道病毒组合血清和单价血清的中和试验,证明患者为甲肝和ECHO20病毒双重感染.通过文献检索我们发现,国内对ECHO20病毒的相关研究极少,且多限于病毒的血清学分离鉴定,而对其重要的衣壳蛋白编码基因vp1的测定和分析尚未见报道,为阐明ECHO20分离株的分子流行病学特征,分析其基因变异规律,探讨我国分离株和国外分离株的区别和联系,我们测定了编码重要抗原决定簇的整个vp1序列,并和GenBank中已有的ECHO20病毒vp1基因序列进行了比较分析.     

手足口病的防治进展

手足口病（hand foot and mouth disease,HFMD）是由肠道病毒引起的常见急性传染病,主要为柯萨奇病毒A组16型（CoxA16）和肠道病毒71（EV71）,其传染性强,隐性感染比例大,多发生于学龄前儿童,尤以3岁以下年龄组发病率最高[1],近年有流行趋势[2],     

河北省石家庄市手足口病流行中健康人肠道病毒带毒情况及病原分析

为了解河北省石家庄市健康儿童中肠道病毒带毒情况及血清型构成,对2010~2012年石家庄市的3个县区1 223例0~6岁的健康儿童及406名监护人(健康成人)采集咽拭子和粪便标本进行核酸检测鉴定肠道病毒血清型,并进行分子流行病学分析,为肠道病毒感染相关疾病的防控和治疗提供基础资料。1 223名健康儿童的标本检测结果中,肠道病毒(Enterovirus,EV)阳性的283例,阳性率为23.14%(283/1 223)。其中,以非肠道病毒71型非柯萨奇病毒A组16型的EV(Other-Enterovirus,other-EVs)阳性为主,占EV阳性的62%(175/283),而引起手足口病常见的EV病原体肠道病毒71型(Enterovirus A71,EV71)和柯萨奇病毒A组16型(Coxsackievirus A16,CVA16)阳性率较低,分别占19%(55/283)和18%(51/283);将结果为other-EVs阳性的175名健康儿童的标本全部进行病毒分离鉴定,共分离到25株病毒,分离率为14.29%(25/175),其中柯萨奇病毒B组5型(Coxsackievirus B5,CVB5)分离率最高,为40%(10/25)、柯萨奇病毒B组13型(Coxsackievirus B3,CVB3)分离率为24%(6/25)、埃可病毒21型(Enteric cytopathic human orphan virus 21,ECHO21)分离率为16%(4/25)、其他EV株分离率为20%(5/25)。提示,应加强对CVB3和CVB5等other-EVs的监测。     

柯萨奇病毒A组10型研究进展

自2008年以来,由多种肠道病毒引起的手足口病已成为严重威胁中国婴幼儿健康的重大公共卫生问题之一。其中,肠道病毒71型(enterovirus 71,EV71)和柯萨奇病毒A组16型(coxsackievirus A16,CVA16)是引起手足口病的主要病原体。但2011年以后,中国手足口病的流行趋势发生了变化,柯萨奇病毒A组10型(coxsackievirus A10,CVA10)和柯萨奇病毒A组6型(coxsackievirus A6,CVA6)引起的手足口病呈增多趋势,在部分地区已替代EV71和CVA16成为引起手足口病的主要病原体,已引起越来越多的关注。现就CVA10的病原学、流行病学、实验室诊断、动物模型及疫苗相关研究作一综述。     

亚洲地区快速检测人肠道病毒71型可能出错,改进引物可解决

手口足病(hand,foot and mouth disease,HFMD)是由人肠道病毒感染引起的综合征,常见于儿童。典型表现为手掌、脚底和口腔出现水疱疹,并引起不适和进食困难等。最常见的病原为肠道病毒成员之一的柯萨奇病毒A组16型(Coxsackievirus A16,CVA16),其他还有CVA8、CVA10等。HFMD的病原     

鸭中人肠道病毒的分离与鉴定

人肠道病毒属于微小核糖核酸病毒科(Picornaviridae)肠道病毒属(Enterovirus)的病毒。其自然宿主主要是灵长目动物。其他动物如牛、猪、鼠、苍蝇、蟑螂等有携带这类病毒的现象,但没有证明它们是自然宿主。文献报道,人的柯萨奇B,和猪的水泡病病原,两者的同源物有50%相同,彼此的抗原性无区别,因此认为人的柯萨奇B,就是猪的水泡病病原。     

柯萨奇病毒

桐萨奇(Coxsackie)病毒是属于微小核糖核酸病毒科肠遭病毒属(包括A、B两组)的具有类似物理及生物学特性的一系列病毒。“柯萨奇病毒”这一名称是1949年提出来的。柯萨奇是美国纽约州一个村镇的名字,在那里曾首次分离到这种病霉,因此1962年国际命名委员会病毒小组采纳了“柯萨奇病毒”这一名称。     

炎琥宁联合痰热清治疗86例手足口病疗效观察及护理

近年来,手足口病的发病率有增多及严重的趋势,引起手足口病的肠道病毒包括肠道病毒71型（EV71）和A组柯萨奇病毒（CoxA）、埃可病毒（Echo）的某些血清型。EV71感染引起重症病例的比例较大,肠道病毒传染性强,可在短期内流行,我国小范围区域曾流行发病。临床上多采用病毒唑为主及加强对症治疗,为了寻找更有效的治疗方法,我科于2008年4～10月采用炎琥宁联合痰热清治疗手足口病86例,效果满意,现报告如下。     

一起传染病暴发中肠道病毒血清型鉴定和ECHO30基因特征分析

2003年5～9月,山东省泰安市发生了由肠道病毒(Enterovirus,EV)感染所致的传染病暴发,临床症状以手足口病(HFMD)为主,同时有心肌炎和无菌性脑膜炎等中枢神经系统症状患者也占较大比例。131份病人(粪便、咽拭子、脑脊液)标本中共分离到EV62株,其中ECHO1939株,EV716株,ECHO304株,其它肠道病毒13株。4株ECHO30病毒中的2株分离自2个患者的粪便标本,但用WHO肠道组合血清中和试验未能定出型别。另外2株分离自同一患者的粪便和脑脊液标本。病原学分析表明,ECHO30是引起该患者无菌性脑膜炎的病原。抗E—CHO30标准株的血清中和这4株病毒的滴度低于标准株5～20倍。VP1区全基因序列测定和同源性比较分析表明,4株ECHO30分离株病毒核苷酸同源性在98．0％～98．5％,氨基酸同源性在98．9％～99．3％,提示这4株病毒来源于同一传播链,2003年5～9月ECHO30在该地区可能有局部流行。系统进化树分析表明,ECHO30病毒可以划分为6个基因型,其中基因型1～5为GenBank中已发表的ECHO30分离株,山东分离株与其它5个基因型成员核苷酸差异分别在9．4％～24．4％,在进化树上形成了较独立的分支,是一个新基因型,将其划分为第6基因型。     

1996年延边地区无菌性脑膜脑炎病因病毒的分离及初步鉴定

吉林省延边地区１９９６年６月发生无菌性脑膜脑炎流行,在全地区２１６万人口中,发病人数约５￣６千人,死亡２人,为历史上所罕见。从病人脑脊液和粪便标本中分离到多株病毒,分离率较高（分别达到５２．４％￣６６．７％）。用ＷＨＯ提供的ＲＩＶＭ肠道病毒组合血清进行中和定型,不能确定型别。ＲＴ－ＰＣＲ结果表明为肠道病毒。病人早期血清特异性ＩｇＭ抗性阳性率７２．０％,证明所分离的病毒为此次无菌性脑膜脑炎暴发流行的     

云南省4株埃可病毒11型VP1基因特征分析

埃可病毒11型(Echovirus 11,ECHO11)属于肠道病毒B组,是最常见的人类肠道病毒(Human enterovirus,HEV)之一,常引起儿童无菌性脑膜炎、脑炎和急性迟缓性麻痹等疾病。为了对云南省手足口病(Hand,foot,and mouth disease,HFMD)监测中分离到的4株ECHO11毒株的VP1基因进行序列分析,并为云南地区ECHO11的进化及流行趋势等研究提供基础数据,本研究对收集到的HFMD病例标本进行病毒分离培养和鉴定,对鉴定为ECHO11的毒株VP1基因测定其完整序列,与GenBank上其他参考株的VP1区序列构建遗传进化树进行基因分析。结果显示,4株ECHO11型毒株分属A1和D5两个基因亚型,分别与各自基因亚型参考株的同源性为最高。D5基因亚型ECHO11分离株在进化树上聚集为3簇,提示存在多个传播链,其D5-1簇的VP1区氨基酸在多个位点上与同基因亚型的其他簇参考株存在特异突变。本研究揭示,云南地区存在两种不同基因亚型的ECHO11流行情况,特别是D5亚型的出现,提示我国周边流行的ECHO11基因型已进入中国大陆,应密切关注其流行变异情况,为今后制定由ECHO11引起的HFMD的公共卫生策略提供依据。     

Characterization of a virus associated with epidemic conjunctivitis in Thailand.

A strain of virus, named the A-E strain, was isolated from a patient suffering from acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis during an epidemic of the disease in Bangkok in 1972. The virus had the characteristics of an enterovirus but was not neutralized by any known enterovirus antiserum. Cross neutralization tests indicated that the isolate was closely related to the J670-71 virus isolated in Japan. The virus produced conjunctivitis in rabbits and monkeys following conjunctival inoculation.     

Isolation of a new enterovirus (38506).

During 1972 an apparently new enterovirus with characteristics of the Coxsackievirus group A was isolated from 11 residents of New York State, 10 of whom had central nervous system disease. The representative strain S/Albany 1/72 has the physical and chemical properties of an enterovirus and causes the pathology typical for Coxsackievirus group A in 1-day-old mice. Cross-neutralization tests indicated that the virus is distinct from currently recognized enteric viruses of man. Antibody levels to the representative strain were moderate to high in patients and were low to moderate in 26% of healthy individuals tested.     

Nucleotide sequence of the VP1 gene of the foot-and-mouth disease virus strain A Venceslau

The VP1 coat protein of FMDV strain A Venceslau (Aven) consists of 213 amino acid residues. Serum neutralization tests demonstrated that strain Aven is closely related to strain A Argentina/79 (A₇₉) but significantly different from strain A₂₄ Cruzeiro (A₂₄). There is a strong correlation between the amino acid sequences and the serological data. Nucleotide and amino acid sequence analyses of VP1 showed that serologically related viruses (Aven and A₇₉) differ less in this region of the genome than those of serologically distinct viruses (Aven vs. A₂₄). The most significant variation between Aven and A₂₄ occurs at amino acid positions 43 to 46, in which all four residues are different.     

Serologic Relationship of Coxsackie A16 Viruses from the Epidemic of Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease in Japan, 1970, to the Prototype Strain

In 1970, a great outbreak of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) due to Coxsackie A16 virus (Cox A16) occurred throughout Japan. When serologic relationship between the viruses isolated during the epidemic and the prototype strain of the serotype was examined by the tube neutralization test, the crude new isolates were found to be poorly neutralized by both an antiserum against the prototype strain and those against the isolates, although they were neutralized significantly in the plaque reduction test. However, about 2% of virus in crude suspensions of the isolates remained unneutralized even in the plaque reduction test and this fraction could be eliminated by filtering the virus materials through a 100 mμ Millipore filter. Therefore, the difficulty in neutralization of the isolates by the tube method could be accounted for by the presence of aggregated viruses. Even when filtered viruses were used, the reciprocal neutralization kinetic studies revealed a significant serological difference between the isolates and the prototype strain. Such serological properties of the isolates were not influenced by the cell types used for virus isolation or passages. All the results suggest that the Cox A16 isolates from the epidemic of HFMD in Japan, 1970, are serologically different from the prototype strain.     

Rotavirus serotype G9 strains belonging to VP7 gene phylogenetic sequence lineage 1 may be more suitable for serotype G9 vaccine candidates than those belonging to lineage 2 or 3

A safe and effective group A rotavirus vaccine that could prevent severe diarrhea or ameliorate its symptoms in infants and young children is urgently needed in both developing and developed countries. Rotavirus VP7 serotypes G1, G2, G3, and G4 have been well established to be of epidemiologic importance worldwide. Recently, serotype G9 has emerged as the fifth globally common type of rotavirus of clinical importance. Sequence analysis of the VP7 gene of various G9 isolates has demonstrated the existence of at least three phylogenetic lineages. The goal of our study was to determine the relationship of the phylogenetic lineages to the neutralization specificity of various G9 strains. We generated eight single VP7 gene substitution reassortants, each of which bore a single VP7 gene encoding G9 specificity of one of the eight G9 strains (two lineage 1, one lineage 2 and five lineage 3 strains) and the remaining 10 genes of bovine rotavirus strain UK, and two hyperimmune guinea pig antisera to each reassortant, and we then analyzed VP7 neutralization characteristics of the eight G9 strains as well as an additional G9 strain belonging to lineage 1; the nine strains were isolated in five countries. Antisera to lineage 1 viruses neutralized lineage 2 and 3 strains to at least within eightfold of the homotypic lineage viruses. Antisera to lineage 2 virus neutralized lineage 3 viruses to at least twofold of the homotypic lineage 2 virus; however, neutralization of lineage 1 viruses was fourfold (F45 and AU32) to 16- to 64-fold (WI61) less efficient. Antisera to lineage 3 viruses neutralized the lineage 2 strain 16- to 64-fold less efficiently, the lineage 1 strains F45 and AU32 8- to 128-fold less efficiently, and WI61 (prototype G9 strain) 128- to 1024-fold less efficiently than the homotypic lineage 3 viruses. These findings may have important implications for the development of G9 rotavirus vaccine candidates, as the strain with the broadest reactivity (i.e., a prime strain) would certainly be the ideal strain for inclusion in a vaccine.     

Synthesis and Antiviral Activity of Hydrazides and Substituted Benzalhydrazides of Betulinic Acid and Its Derivatives

New nitrogen-containing derivatives of betulinic and betulonic acids, hydrazides and N"-benzalhydrazides, were synthesized. Their antiviral activities toward viruses of influenza A virus, herpes simplex type I virus, enterovirus ECHO6, and HIV-1 were studied in vitro. Betulinic acid 3-oxime was found to have the highest activity against the influenza virus. Betulonic acid, betulinic acid 4-chlorobenzalhydrazide, betulonic acid 3-oxime benzalhydrazide, and betulinic acid hydrazide inhibited the replication of herpes simplex type I virus. Betulinic acid hydrazide also showed antiviral activity toward HIV-1. All the derivatives of betulinic acid under study displayed a low antiviral activity toward enterovirus ECHO6.
