Methods:Fifty female Balb/c mice (4-6 weeks old, 14-22 g weight) were divided into two groups randomly. Forty were infected by herpes simplex virus and the other 10 were used as normal controls.All mice were fed under the same conditions.Corneas of these mice were collected for immunohistochemical testing on day 14 and 21 after infection. Results:ICAM-1 was mainly expressed in the basal cells of the corneal epithelia and vascular endothelia of the infected mice. A substantial amount of VCAM-1 was also expressed in the corneal vascular endothelial cells of infected mice,and was also found in inflammatory cells in the epithelial and stromal layers of the corneas. Conclusion:Adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were involved in the progression of herpex simplex keratitis.They may accelerate the progress of inflammation by mediating the extravsation of inflammatory cells from vessels into the infected sites.展开更多

The global dynamics of the model are completely determined by introducing suitable Lyapunov functionals. We show that if the basic reproduction number is less than one, then both strains die out; but when the number is greater than one, at least one of the strains become endemic depending on the parameter values. The theoretical results provide some useful information on the dynamics of the two strains virus.展开更多
