摘要： Human coronavirus infection getting into the brain:By February 2022,the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)infection,causing the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)outbreak,has infected around 415 million people,and caused~5.8 million deaths worldwide(WHO,https://covid19.who.int/).As SARS-CoV-2 replicates during the infection,it undergoes genetic mutation to generate variants with varying characteristics and mutation frequencies.The emerging,over time,new variants that differ with transmissibility,immunity,and infection severity pose continuous challenges to established COVID-19 management strategies and regulations.Several SARS-CoV-2 variants such as Omicron(B.1.1.529),Delta(B.1.617.2),UK(B.1.17),South Africa(B.1.351),Brazil(P.1),and New York B.1.525-B.1.526 were detected worldwide and accelerated severity of COVID-19 pandemic(Figure 1A;McQuaid et al.,2021).

摘要： The RNA component of mitochondrial RNA-processing endoribonuclease(RMRP)was first described as an entity that cleaved mitochondrial RNA at a priming site of mitochondrial DNA replication.This long noncoding RNA(lncRNA)was encoded by an evolutionarily conserved nuclear gene that has been characterized in many species,including human,mouse,cattle,zebrafish,toad,and yeast.It was soon learned that RMRP as a component of the RNase MRP complex was also located in the nucleus,and was critical for ribosomal RNA(rRNA)processing,particularly the biosynthesis of 5.8S rRNAs.In 2001,the first evidence of the role of RMRP in the pathogenesis of human disorders was reported,involving mutations in the RMRP gene,which caused cartilage-hair hypoplasia(CHH)1,a recessively inherited developmental disorder characterized by short stature,hypoplastic anemia,defective immunity,and predisposition to several cancers.

摘要： Gut microbiota(GM)is a micro-ecosystem composed of all microorganisms in the human intestine.The interaction between GM and the host plays an important role in maintaining normal physiological functions in the host.Dysbiosis of the GM may cause various diseases.GM has been demonstrated to be associated with human health and disease,and changes during individual development and disease.Pregnancy is a complicated physiological process.Hormones,the immune system,metabolism,and GM undergo drastic changes during pregnancy.Gastrointestinal diseases during pregnancy,such as hepatitis,intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy,and pre-eclampsia,can affect both maternal and fetal health.The dysregulation of GM during pregnancy may lead to a variety of diseases,including gastrointestinal diseases.Herein,we review recent research articles on GM in pregnancy-related gastrointestinal diseases,discuss the interaction of the GM with the host under normal physiological conditions,gastrointestinal diseases,and pregnancy-specific disorders.As more attention is paid to reproductive health,the pathogenic mechanism of GM in gastrointestinal diseases during pregnancy will be further studied to provide a theoretical basis for the use of probiotics to treat these diseases.

摘要： Ginsenoside Rb1, the effective constituent of ginseng, has been demonstrated to play favorable roles in improving the immunity system. However, there is little study on the osteogenesis and angiogenesis effect of Ginsenoside Rb1. Moreover, how to establish a delivery system of Ginsenoside Rb1 and its repairment ability in bone defect remains elusive. In this study, the role of Ginsenoside Rb1 in cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, osteogenic genes expression, ALP activity of rat BMSCs were evaluated firstly. Then,micro-nano HAp granules combined with silk were prepared to establish a delivery system of Ginsenoside Rb1, and the osteogenic and angiogenic effect of Ginsenoside Rb1 loaded on micro-nano HAp/silk in rat calvarial defect models were assessed by sequential fluorescence labeling, and histology analysis, respectively. It revealed that Ginsenoside Rb1 could maintain cell viability, significantly increased ALP activity, osteogenic and angiogenic genes expression. Meanwhile, micro-nano HAp granules combined with silk were fabricated smoothly and were a delivery carrier for Ginsenoside Rb1. Significantly, Ginsenoside Rb1 loaded on micro-nano HAp/silk could facilitate osteogenesis and angiogenesis. All the outcomes hint that Ginsenoside Rb1 could reinforce the osteogenesis differentiation and angiogenesis factor’s expression of BMSCs. Moreover, micro-nano HAp combined with silk could act as a carrier for Ginsenoside Rb1 to repair bone defect.

摘要： Inhibitory Smads(I-Smads),which belong to the Smad family and inhibit bone morphogenic protein 2(BMP2)signaling by a variety of mechanisms,can suppress innate immunity responses in vertebrates.However,there are no reports for the role of Smad6 in immunity in mollusks.In this study,we showed that Smad6 of the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii was located in the Smad6 cluster of the phylogenetic tree;mRNA expression of Smad6 and Smad3 was up-regulated after lipopolysaccharide and polyinosinic:polycytidylic challenge;and transcript levels of Smad6 and Smad3 showed opposite patterns during wound healing.Under salinity stress,water inflow and outflow in the gills appear to be regulated by BMP2-Smads signals,and BMP2-Smads signaling may be closely related to the immune response.Our results indicate that Smad6 is involved in immunity,that it plays a positive role in the response to immune challenge and an inhibitory role during wound healing,and that Smad6 and Smad3 may work against each other.

摘要： Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is one of the eight known human herpesviruses, which is widespread in nature and infects most of the world population. In infants and young children, primary infection is usually asymptomatic or produces an acute illness that is often not recognized as being due to EBV. It has a well-established oncogenic potential, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases. Here is reported the case of a 32-months old boy, who presented with a history of two days of low-grade fever, pain in both legs, swollen ankles and inability to walk. On physical examination, the child appeared moderately ill, without fever. On both shins were observed nodules 2 - 3 cm in diameter, red to bluish in color, firm and poorly demarcated. Clinically, a diagnosis of Erythema nodosus was performed. Laboratory examinations revealed increased inflammatory parameters. After a full workup, EBV was established as the causative agent. Erythema nodosum is the most common form of panniculitis in children;however, it is relatively uncommon in the pediatric population. It is a self-limited disease, and most of infectious origin in children. Although uncommon, EBV infection is a potential cause of pediatric erythema nodosum.

摘要： Dear editor,Necrotizing fasciitis is a relatively rare,rapidly advancing,infectious disease with high lethality.[1]It is characterized by subcutaneous and fascial tissue necrosis and can even extend to involve skin and muscle.[2]The initial spread along fascial planes with little visual evidence impedes the crucial early diagnosis.Patients often report minor or major trauma preceding the infection,yet in some cases,the disease develops idiopathically.[3]Risk factors,including older age,diabetes,chronic renal failure,and obesity,predispose to impaired immunity and loss of physiological barriers.[2]

摘要： Oral bacteria directly affect the disease status of dental caries and periodontal diseases. The dynamic oral microbiota cooperates with the host to reflect the information and status of immunity and metabolism through two-way communication along the oral cavity and the systemic organs. The oral cavity is one of the most important interaction windows between the human body and the environment.The microenvironment at different sites in the oral cavity has different microbial compositions and is regulated by complex signaling,hosts, and external environmental factors. These processes may affect or reflect human health because certain health states seem to be related to the composition of oral bacteria, and the destruction of the microbial community is related to systemic diseases. In this review, we discussed emerging and exciting evidence of complex and important connections between the oral microbes and multiple human systemic diseases, and the possible contribution of the oral microorganisms to systemic diseases. This review aims to enhance the interest to oral microbes on the whole human body, and also improve clinician’s understanding of the role of oral microbes in systemic diseases. Microbial research in dentistry potentially enhances our knowledge of the pathogenic mechanisms of oral diseases,and at the same time, continuous advances in this frontier field may lead to a tangible impact on human health.

摘要： Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cell(LSECs),as the sinusoidal capillary channel of the liver,is the most abundant non-parenchymal cell group in the liver. LSECs not only forms a barrier in the hepatic sinusoid,but also has important physiological and immunological functions,including filtration,endocytosis,antigen presentation and leukocyte recruitment. It has been clear that LSECs play an important role in maintaining immune homeostasis in the liver and delaying the immune response to acute and chronic liver injury. In this review,we summarize how LSECs affect the immune microenvironment in the liver,and discuss their role in immune-mediated chronic liver disease,carcinogenesis,inflammation and aging process.

摘要： Viral transmission between animals and humans has been defined as Zoonosis and zooanthroponosis.The vaccine has been claimed to be the best tool to prevent viral epidemics.However,as learned from SARS-CoV-2,vaccines cannot be the true answer to prevent viral infection for everyone.Some vaccinated persons are still reported to get infected.Viral mutation has been principally postulated to explain immune evasion.Questionable,why the mutated viral strain does not evade the immunity of everyone who has been vaccinated?Mutated viral strains cause various symptoms,non-symptomatic to morbidity and mortality,in different individuals with more or less the same ratio as the original SARS-CoV-2.Approximately,25-35%of the SARS-CoV-2 detected individuals are asymptomatic,while 15-20%developed severity and about 2-5%have critical symptoms[1,2].Logically,the viral mutation could keep mutating in any part of its genome.The new variant might maintain infectivity in the same person and might develop to infect another person who once has not been susceptible to the original strain.Thus,the dynamics of viral infection could change from time to time.This requires a better explanation to lead us in the right direction to prevent the emergent virus either now or in the future.

摘要： Sport is an important means to strengthen physics, build bodies and improve immunity. But duringthe infectious disease epidemic period, once develop sports in special environment such as school, we musttake some effective measures, nip an evil in the bud, so as to promise students to exercises themselves but noinfectious. Infectious disease is a group of infectious diseasescaused by various pathogens. Pathogen spread amonggroups of people in some way, resulting in epidemics,which do great harm to man's health and country's economic construction. In these two years, our old domesticinfectious diseases are coming up again (such as scarletfever, chicken pox, influenza, etc), and new infectiousdiseases continuously coming up, which threatens people's health. Especially in the school, more attention should be paid to infectious diseases' recklessly transmission. During these years, as a nondrug method, exercisesbecome more and more important.
