Transcription profiles of skin and head kidney from goldfish suffering hemorrhagic septicemia with an emphasis on the TLR signaling pathway

DEAR EDITOR, Hemorrhagic septicemia is an acute, highly fatal disease that affects goldfish (Carassius auratus). To gain a better understanding of related immune genes, the transcriptomes of the skin and head kidney of goldfish suffering hemorrhagic septicemia were sequeneed, assembled, and characterized.

Effects of altitude hypoxia on contents of TXB_2, 6-keto-PGF_(1α) and LENK and their correlations with lung injury induced by pyosepticemia

Objective: To explore the effects of altitude hypoxia on septic pulmonary injury (3080 m above sea level). Methods : A model of pyosepticemia was established by cecal ligation and puncture. Thromboxane A2 (TXA2),prostacyclin (PGI2) of the venous plasma and leucine-enkephalins (L-ENK) in the arterial walls were measured using radioiizimunoassay in 31 rabbits. Mouse morrality was observed. Results: 24 h mouse accumulative mortality (97. 1% )was greater than that of control (35%). TXB2 content was 4 times as much as in control group and 6-keto-PGF1α level was elevated too. These changes of arachidonic metabolism could be blorked by indomethacin. The contents of LENK in arterial walls of puhiionary, mesenteric and renal arteries dropped significantly in comparison with control group (P<0. 01 ). The albumin content in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid rase significantly in comparison with control group (P<0. 01 ). Conclusion : The results demonstrate that the metabolites of cyclcoxygenase are not the major mediator of puhiionary permeability in the experiment. The alteration of TXA2 and L-ENK contents may be one of the mechanisms, by which the puhiionary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance are increased during sepsis.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Community Acquired Pneumonia with Septicemia in a Previously Healthy Woman

A previously healthy 53-year-old woman was urgently hospitalized due to septic shock. She was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia based on chest radiograph and computed tomography findings of right upper lobe consolidation. Sputum Gramstain at the time of admission showed gram-negative rods with phagocytosis. Intravenous meropenem was immediately initiated as empiric antibacterial therapy. Bacterial culture specimens from sputum and blood were positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Following appropriate antibiotic therapies, the patient recovered from a shock state and gradually became well. There has been no evidence of recurrence at 6 months after discharge. P. aeruginosa community acquired pneumonia with septicemia is rapidly progressive and often fatal. The choice of initial empiric antibiotic treatment that is active against P. aeruginosa is critical in improving outcome.

Establishment of Pyrosequencing Technology for Detecting Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus (VHSV)

[Objective] The paper was to establish pyrosequencing methods for detecting viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus （VHSV）. [ Method ] One pair of PCR primers and one pyrosequencing primer of VHSV were designed. The pyrosequencing reaction system and conditions were optimized and the pyrosequencing method for detecting VHSV was established. [ Result] This method was only able to specifically detect the objective viruses in the eight fish viruses, and the method had the advantage of high sensitivity. The minimum detectable limit of nucleic acid was 82 copies/μL. The method was verified by detecting VHSV in 1 924 batches of samples collected from domestic and imported fishes. The detection results were consistent with that of traditional RT-PCR, and the specificity and sensitivity of the method could meet the detection requirement for aquatic animal diseases. [ Conclusion] The study provides a new detection method for monitoring and prevention and control of aquatic animal virus diseases.

<i>Vibrio vulnificus</i>septicemia and necrotizing fasciitis in the patients with liver cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus

Vibrio vulnificus (V. vulnificus) infection is a rare disease in Japan but the leading cause of death related to raw seafood consumption. We hereby reported a successfully treated case of V. vulnificus septicemia, severe necrotizing fasciitis, disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ failure after raw perch consumption with underlying alcoholic liver cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus. It is the first report of a case of V. vulnificusinfection caused by eating raw perch, whereas V. vulnificus infection should be suspected in all of middle-aged to elderly men with underlying immunosuppressive diseases, who have recent consumption of raw seafood or contact with seawater, especially in the summer. The levels of HbA1c and glycoalbumin were not high in the present case, however, obvious hyperglycemia was found even after the infection had completely healed. On reviewing 166 case of V. vulnificus infection in Japan including ours, the complication of diabetes mellitus, one of immunocompromised condition, was found only in 11%, although it had been reported that individuals strongly suspected of having diabetes were 17.2% among the Japanese male population aged from 40 to 74 years. Because diabetes mellitus might be underdiagnosed in the previous reports, intensive examinations are considered to be necessary in order to correctly diagnose diabetes mellitus in patients with severe V. vulnificus infection.

Development of an Indirect Sandwich ELISA for Detection of Duck Swollen Head Septicemia Virus

[Objective] To develop an indirect sandwich ELISA for rapid detection of duck swollen head septicemia virus （DSHSV）. [Method] DSHSV hyperimmune sara were prepared in ducks and rabbits by inoculation with DSHSV XD strain and then purified using saturated ammonium sulfate and Sephadex G-150 column chromatography to obtain anti-DSHSV IgG. An indirect sandwich ELISA was developed using the purified duck anti-DSHSV IgG and rabbit anti-DSHSV IgG after reaction conditions were optimized. Its specificity, sensitivity and repeatability were evaluated, and its accuracy was confirmed by observation with immunoelectron microscopy. Then, distribution of DSHSV in tissues of challenged ducks was also detected. [Result] Through optimizing conditions, the ELISA was developed. Only DSHSV could be detected by the developed method, but other pathogens could not be detected. Compared with agar gel diffusion test, the developed method was more sensitive. The coefficient of variation was less than 10%, and the developed method had good repeatability. In addition, the ELISA-positive samples contained DSHSV, as confirmed by im- munoelectron microscopy. All heart, liver, lung and kidney collected from the DSHSV-challenged ducks were positive when they were detected by the developed ELISA. [ Conclusion] The developed ELISA method is rapid, simple, specific and sensitive, and it is suitable for large-scale quaran- tine of DSHS. Heart, liver, lunq and kidney should be selected preferentially as specimens for diaclnosis of DSHS.

Value of serum PCT content for evaluating inflammatory factor release and organ function injury in neonatal septicemia

Objective: To explore the value of serum PCT content for evaluating inflammatory factor release and organ function injury in neonatal septicemia. Methods: 48 children who were diagnosed with neonatal septicemia in our hospital between March 2015 and May 2018 were selected as the septicemia group, and 50 healthy neonates delivered in our hospital during the same period were selected as the normal control group. The differences in PCT and inflammatory factor contents in serum as well as liver and kidney function index levels in peripheral blood were compared between the two groups. Pearson test was used to evaluate the correlation of serum PCT content with inflammatory factor release as well as liver and kidney function injury in children with neonatal septicemia. Results: The serum PCT content of septicemia group was significantly higher than that of normal control group;serum hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) contents were higher than those of normal control group;peripheral blood aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were higher than those of normal control group;peripheral blood blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr) and serum β2-microglobulin (β2-M) levels were higher than those of normal control group (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that serum PCT content in children with neonatal septicemia was directly correlated with the degree of inflammatory response as well as the degree of liver and kidney function injury (P<0.05). Conclusion: The serum PCT content abnormally increases in children with neonatal septicemia, and the specific content is consistent with the disease severity and has certain clinical value for the judgment of children's condition.

Value of PCT content for adjuvant diagnosis of neonatal septicemia and assessment of its severity

Objective:To evaluate the value of procalcitonin (PCT) content for adjuvant diagnosis of neonatal septicemia and assessment of its severity.Methods: A total of 100 newborns who were diagnosed with septicemia in the First People's Hospital of Xianyang City between January 2017 and January 2018 were selected as the septicemia group of the research, and the newborns who were born in the First People's Hospital of Xianyang City during the same period, with the general data matched with those of septicemia group and without neonatal diseases after born were selected as the control group. Serum was collected to determine the contents of PCT, inflammatory cytokines and immune cytokines, and peripheral blood was collected to determine the expression intensity of inflammatory signaling molecules and immune transcription factors.Results: Serum PCT, TNF-α, HMGB1, ICAM-1, IL-10 and IL-17 contents as well as peripheral blood TLR4, NF-κB, MPO, RORγt and FOXP3 expression intensity of septicemia group were significantly higher than those of control group whereas peripheral blood HLA-DR expression intensity was lower than that of control group;peripheral blood TLR4, NF-κB, MPO, RORγt and FOXP3 expression intensity as well as serum TNF-α, HMGB1, ICAM-1, IL-10 and IL-17 contents of septicemia group of newborns with high PCT were significantly higher than those of newborns with low PCT whereas peripheral blood HLA-DR expression intensity was lower than that of newborns with low PCT.Conclusion: The increase of PCT in serum of newborns with septicemia is related to the change of inflammatory response and immune response, and its content detection is valuable for assessing the severity of the disease.

α-Lipoic Acid Exerts Its Antiviral Effect against Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus(VHSV) by Promoting Upregulation of Antiviral Genes and Suppressing VHSV-Induced Oxidative Stress

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus(VHSV), belonging to the genus Novirhabdovirus, Rhabdoviridae family, is a causative agent of high mortality in fish and has caused significant losses to the aquaculture industry. Currently, no effective vaccines, Food and Drug Administration-approved inhibitors, or other therapeutic intervention options are available against VHSV. α-Lipoic Acid(LA), a potent antioxidant, has been proposed to have antiviral effects against different viruses. In this study, LA(CC_(50)= 472.6 lmol/L) was repurposed to exhibit antiviral activity against VHSV. In fathead minnow cells,LA significantly increased the cell viability post-VHSV infection(EC_(50)= 42.7 lmol/L), and exerted a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on VHSV induced-plaque, cytopathic effects, and VHSV glycoprotein expression. The time-of-addition assay suggested that the antiviral activity of LA occurred at viral replication stage. Survival assay revealed that LA could significantly upregulated the survival rate of VHSV-infected largemouth bass in both co-injection(38.095% vs. 1.887%,P < 0.01) and post-injection manner(38.813% vs. 8.696%, P < 0.01) compared with the control group. Additional comparative transcriptome and q RT-PCR analysis revealed LA treatment upregulated the expression of several antiviral genes, such as IRF7, Viperin, and ISG15. Moreover, LA treatment reduced VHSV-induced reactive oxygen species production in addition to Nrf2 and SOD1 expression. Taken together, these data demonstrated that LA suppressed VHSV replication by inducing antiviral genes expression and reducing VHSV-induced oxidative stress. These results suggest a new direction in the development of potential antiviral candidate drugs against VHSV infection.

病毒性出血性败血症病毒数字PCR检测方法的建立

为建立病毒性出血性败血症病毒精准快速检测方法,以病毒性出血性败血症病毒基因组特异保守的糖蛋白基因片段为靶目标,设计合成了特异性引物及探针,优化退火温度等关键反应条件,分别进行灵敏性试验、特异性试验及重现性试验,构建病毒性出血性败血症病毒数字PCR检测技术体系,同时,与实时荧光定量RT-PCR方法进行对比分析。试验结果显示,病毒性出血性败血症病毒数字PCR最佳退火温度为58.5℃。灵敏性试验显示,随着病毒性出血性败血症病毒基因组RNA连续10倍稀释,稀释至105倍数时,数字PCR体系仍可以检测到阳性微滴,因此,确定RNA基因组核酸含量19拷贝/μL为病毒性出血性败血症病毒数字PCR的检测低限。特异性试验表明,该方法只与目标病毒——病毒性出血性败血症病毒有特异性扩增,与传染性胰脏坏死病毒、传染性造血器官坏死病毒、鲤春病毒血症病毒、流行性造血器官坏死病毒、牙鲆弹状病毒、病毒性神经坏死病毒、锦鲤疱疹病毒、鲤浮肿病毒、真鲷虹彩病毒、淋巴囊肿病毒等10种病毒均无扩增反应。重复性试验结果表明,病毒性出血性败血症病毒数字PCR批内与批间试验的变异系数均小于1%,具备良好的重复性。利用构建的数字PCR方法,对收集到的国内及进境鱼类样品共计1210批次进行病毒性出血性败血症病毒检测,结果显示,数字PCR阳性样本检出率为9.5%,常规实时荧光定量RT-PCR阳性样本检出率为7.69%~7.77%。临床试验结果表明,研究建立的病毒性出血性败血症病毒数字PCR方法较常规技术具有更高的检测灵敏性,适用于水生动物疫病精准检测的需求。
