BACKGROUND The diagnosis of sepsis combined with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)has increased owing to the enhanced awareness among medical profes-sionals and the continuous development of modern medical technologies,while early diagnosis of ARDS still lacks specific biomarkers.One of the main patho-genic mechanisms of sepsis-associated ARDS involves the actions of various pathological injuries and inflammatory factors,such as platelet and white blood cells activation,leading to an increase of surface adhesion molecules.These adhesion molecules further form platelet-white blood cell aggregates,including platelet-mononuclear cell aggregates(PMAs).PMAs has been identified as one of the markers of platelet activation,here we hypothesize that PMAs might play a potential biomarker for the early diagnosis of this complication.METHODS We selected 72 hospitalized patients diagnosed with sepsis as the study population between March 2019 and March 2022.Among them,30 patients with sepsis and ARDS formed the study group,while 42 sepsis patients without ARDS comprised the control group.After diagnosis,venous blood samples were imme-diately collected from all patients.Flow cytometry was employed to analyze the expression of PMAs,platelet neutrophil aggregates(PNAs),and platelet aggregates(PLyAs)in the serum.Additionally,the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation(APACHE)II score was calculated for each patient,and receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to assess diagnostic value.RESULTS The study found that the levels of PNAs and PLyAs in the serum of the study group were higher than those in the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).However,the expression of PMAs in the serum of the study group was significantly upregulated(P<0.05)and positively correlated with the APACHE II score(r=0.671,P<0.05).When using PMAs as a diagnostic indicator,the area under the curve value was 0.957,indicating a high diagnostic value(P<0.05).Furthermore,the optimal cutoff value was 8.418%,with a diagnostic sensitivity of 0.819 and specificity of 0.947.CONCLUSION In summary,the serum levels of PMAs significantly increase in patients with sepsis and ARDS.Therefore,serum PMAs have the potential to become a new biomarker for clinically diagnosing sepsis complicated by ARDS. 展开更多

Background: Glycine dehydrogenase(GLDC) plays an important role in the initiation and proliferation of several human cancers. In this study, we aimed to detect the methylation status of GLDC promoter and its diagnostic value for hepatitis B virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma(HBV-HCC). Methods: We enrolled 197 patients, 111 with HBV-HCC, 51 with chronic hepatitis B(CHB), and 35 healthy controls(HCs). The methylation status of GLDC promoter in peripheral mononuclear cells(PBMCs) was identified by methylation specific polymerase chain reaction(MSP). The mRNA expression was examined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(q PCR). Results: The methylation frequency of the GLDC promoter was significantly lower in HBV-HCC patients(27.0%) compared to that in CHB patients(68.6%) and HCs(74.3%)( P < 0.001). The methylated group had lower alanine aminotransferase level( P = 0.035) and lower rates of tumor node metastasis(TNM) Ⅲ/Ⅳ( P = 0.043) and T3/T4( P = 0.026). TNM stage was identified to be an independent factor for GLDC promoter methylation. GLDC mRNA levels in CHB patients and HCs were significantly lower than those in HBV-HCC patients( P = 0.022 and P < 0.001, respectively). GLDC mRNA levels were significantly higher in HBV-HCC patients with unmethylated GLDC promoters than those with methylated GLDC promoters( P = 0.003). The diagnostic accuracy of alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) combined with GLDC promoter methylation for HBV-HCC was improved compared with that of AFP alone(AUC: 0.782 vs. 0.630, P < 0.001). In addition, GLDC promoter methylation was an independent predictor for overall survival of HBV-HCC patients( P = 0.038). Conclusions: The methylation frequency of GLDC promoter was lower in PBMCs from HBV-HCC patients than that from patients with CHB and HCs. The combination of AFP and GLDC promoter hypomethylation significantly improved the diagnostic accuracy of HBV-HCC. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Affective disorders(AD)have been linked to inflammatory processes,although the underlying mechanisms of this relationship are still not fully elucidated.It is hypothesized that demographic,somatic,lifestyle,and personality variables predict inflammatory parameters in AD.AIM To identify biopsychosocial factors contributing to inflammation in AD measured with two parameters,C-reactive protein(CRP)and leukocytes.METHODS This observational study investigated 186 hospital inpatients diagnosed with AD using demographic parameters,serum inflammatory markers,somatic variables,psychological questionnaires,and lifestyle parameters.Hierarchical regression analyses were used to predict inflammatory markers from demographic,somatic,lifestyle,and personality variables.RESULTS Analyses showed that 33.8%of the variance of CRP was explained by body mass index and other somatic medication(e.g.anti-diabetics),age and education,and age of affective disorder diagnosis.For leukocytes,20.1%of the variance was explained by smoking,diet,metabolic syndrome(MetS),and anti-inflammatory medication(e.g.non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).Other psychiatric or behavioural variables did not reach significance.CONCLUSION Metabolic components seem important,with mounting evidence for a metabolic affective disorder subtype.Lifestyle modifications and psychoeducation should be employed to prevent or treat MetS in AD. 展开更多

Introduction: Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) is the primary lymphangiogenic factor that stimulates lymphangiogenesis by signaling via specific receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3). This study was conducted to evaluate the change in the level of VEGF-C before and after autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation for treatment of Lower limb lymphedema. Patient and methods: Forty patients with lower limb lymphedema were divided into two groups. Group I included 20 patients with chronic lower limb lymphedema who underwent autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation. Group II included 20 patients with chronic lower limb lymphedema who were exposed only to compression therapy as a control group. VEGF-C level in the diseased limbs was measured in both groups at the beginning of the study then 3 and 6 months respectively. Results: Group I included 20 patients, 8 patients were male (40%) and 12 patients were females (60%) with mean age 29.5 ± 12.15 while group II included 20, 10 patients were male (50%) and 10 patients were females (50%) with mean age 39.5 ± 11.5. In group I, the specimens were taken at 3 and 6 months after transplantation showed a marked decrease in the VEGF-C level with statistically significant p value, 0.02 and 0.001 respectively. In group II the level of VEGF-C after compression therapy alone at 3 and 6 months interval showed fluctuation with statistically non-significant p value, 0.64 and 0.55 respectively. Conclusion: VEGF-C is essential for regulation of lymphangiogenesis. The level of VEGF-C was found elevated in patients with lymphedema and decrease after autologous mononuclear bone marrow cells, however these results were statically non-significant. 展开更多

Leukopenia from exposure to ionizing radiation has been reported. Due to their radiosensitivity, leukocytes are a biological model to analyze cell damage. Therefore, cell viability, DNA damage, and Hsp70 and p53 expression in human leukocytes exposed to low-dose gamma radiation fields from a <sup>137</sup>Cs source were evaluated. A decrease in cell viability, DNA damage and an increase in the expression of Hsp70 and p53 proportional to the radiation dose received was found, which was 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mGy. 展开更多

AIM: To analyze the association of HCV-RNA with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and to answer the question whether HCV-RNA positivity in PBMC is due to viral replication. METHODS: HCV-RNA was monitored in serum and PBMC preparations from 15 patients with chronic HCV infection before, during and after an IFN-alpha therapy using a nested RT/PCR technique. In a second approach, PBMC from healthy donors were incubated in HCV positive plasma. RESULTS: In the IFN-alpha responding patients,HCV-RNA disappeared first from total RNA preparations of PBMC and then from serum. In contrast, in relapsing patients, HCV-RNA reappeared first in serum and then in PBMC. A quantitative analysis of the HCV-RNA concentration in serum was performed before and after transition from detectable to non detectable HCV-RNA in PBMC-RNA and vice versa. When HCV-RNA was detectable in PBMC preparations, the HCV concentration in serum was significantly higher than the serum HCV-RNA concentration when HCV-RNA in PBMC was not detectable. Furthermore, at no time during the observation period was HCV specific RNA observed in PBMC, if HCV-RNA in serum was under the detection limit. Incubation of PBMC from healthy donors with several dilutions of HCV positive plasma for two hours showed a concentration dependent PCR positivity for HCV-RNA in reisolated PBMC. CONCLUSION: The detectability of HCV-RNA in total RNA from PBMC seems to depend on the HCV concentration in serum. Contamination or passive adsorption by circulating virus could be the reason for detection of HCV-RNA in PBMC preparations of chronically infected patients. 展开更多

AIM:To test whether in vitro incubation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with interferon (IFN) could efficiently decrease hepatitis C virus-RNA (HCV-RNA) amount and to analyze whether this effect was associated with clinical response to IFN.METHODS:Twenty-seven patients with histologically proven chronic hepatitis C were given intravenous administration of 6 million units (MU) IFN-β daily for 6 weeks followed by three times weekly for 20 weeks. PBMC collected before IFN therapy were incubated with IFN-β and HCV-RNA in PMBC was semi-quantitatively determined.RESULTS: Twenty-five patients completed IFN therapy.Eight patients (32%) had sustained loss of serum HCV-RNA with normal serum ALT levels after IFN therapy (complete responders).HCV-RNA in PBMC was detected in all patients,whereas it was not detected in PBMC from healthy subjects.In vitro administration of IFN-β decreased the amount of HCV-RNA in PMBC in 18 patients (72%). Eight of these patients obtained complete response. On the other hand,none of the patients whose HCV-RNA in PBMC did not decrease by IFN-β was complete responders. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the decrease of HCV-RNA amount in PBMC by IFN-β was the only independent predictor for complete response (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The effect of in vitro IFN-β on HCV in PBMC reflects clinical response and would be taken into account as a predictive marker of IFN therapy for chronic hepatitis C. 展开更多

AIM: Although the pathogenic mechanism underlying autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) remains unclear, the immune system is thought to be critical for the progression of the disease. Cellular immune responses may be linked to the hepatocellular damage in AIH. Recently, much attention has been focused on the critical functions of costimulatory molecules expressed on mononuclear cells in the generation of effective T cell-mediated immune responses. Analysis of costimulatory molecule expressed on mononuclear cells from the patients with AIH may give us insight into the pathogenic mechanism of hepatocellular damage in AIH. METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were taken from the patients with AIH (34 cases) and healthy controls (25 cases). Uver infiltrating mononuclear cells (LIMCs) were taken from the patients with AIH (18 cases), the patient with chronic hepatitis C (CH-C) (13 cases) and the patients with fatty liver (2 cases). Using flow cytometry, the cells were analyzed for the expression of costimulatory molecules, such as CD80, CD86, and CD152 (CTLA-4). The results were compared with clinical data such as the level of gammaglobulin, histological grade, presence or absence of corticosteroids administration and the response to corticosteroids. RESULTS: The levels of CD80+, CD86+ and CD152+ PBMC were significantly reduced in the patients with AIH as compared with healthy controls. By contrast, those cells were significantly higher in LIMC than in PBMC of the patients with AIH. Especially, the level of CD86+ LIMC showed a marked increase irrespective of the degree of disease activity in the patients with AIH,although CD86+ cells were rarely present in PBMC. The levels of CD86+ cells were present in significantly higher frequency in patients with AIH than in the patients with CH-C. Furthermore, the patients with AIH with high levels of CD86+ LIMC showed good responses to corticosteroids, whereas 2 cases of AIH with low levels of CD86+ LIMC did not respond well. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that LIMC overexpressing costimulatory molecules such as CD80 and CD86 appears to play a role in the pathogenesis of AIH. Especially, CD86 molecule expressed on the LIMC may be useful for the diagnosis of AIH and for the prediction of the therapeutic effects of corticosteroids on AIH. 展开更多

Spermatozoa are constantly exposed to the interphase between oxidation through high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leukocytes, and reduction by means of scavengers and antioxidants. Considering the very special functions as being the only cells with such high polarization and exerting their functions outside the body, even in a different individual, the female genital tract, the membranes of these cells are chemically composed of an extraordinary high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids. This in turn, renders them very susceptible to oxidative stress, which is defined as an imbalance between oxidation and reduction towards the oxidative status. As a result, ROS deriving from both leukocytes and the male germ cells themselves cause a process called 'lipid peroxidation' and other damages to the sperm cell. On the other hand, a certain limited amount of ROS iS essential in order to trigger vital physiological reactions in cells, including capacitation or the acrosome reaction in sperm. The treatment of patients with antioxidants to compensate the oxidative status caused by oxidative stress is highly debated as uncontrolled antioxidative treatment might derail the system towards the reduced status, which is also unphysiological and can even induce cancer. This paradox is called the 'antioxidant paradox'. Therefore, a proper andrological diagnostic work-up, including the evaluation of ROS levels and the antioxidant capacity of the semen, has to he carried out beforehand, aimed at keeping the fine balance between oxidation and scavenging of vital amounts of ROS. 展开更多

BACKGROUND: Interleukin-18 (IL-18), a pro-inflamma- tory cytokine that induces interferon-γ (IFN-γ) production in T cells and natural killer cells, plays a critical role in the T-lymphocyte helper type 1 ( Th1) response. This study was designed to explore the effect of IL-18 on peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs) derived from chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and on hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA released by HepG2.2.15 cell lines, which were transfected with hepatitis B virus gene in vitro. METHODS: PBMCs isolated from 25 healthy people and 25 patients with CHB were stimulated with HBcAg and IL-18 of various concentrations for 72 hours. The levels of IFN-γ in the supernatants of cultured PBMCs were determined by ELISA. After the stimulation of IL-18 of various concentra- tions, PBMCs derived from one patient were co-cultured for 96 hours with HepG2. 2. 15 cells which had been cul- tured for 24 hours, and then the supernatants were collected by centrifugation and used for HBV DNA quantitative as- say. RESULTS: When PBMCs were stimulated by HBcAg and IL-18 at various concentrations, the levels of IFN-γ in the supernatants of CHB groups were much higher than those in normal control groups, at 0.2 ng/ml: t =11.70, P< 0.01; at 1.0 ng/ml: t =16.19, P<0.01; and at5.0 ng/ml: t =20.12, P <0.01. In the CHB groups, the levels of IFN-γ in the supernatants of PBMCs stimulated by HBcAg alone were lower than both those stimulated by HBcAg and EL-18 at various concentrations and those stimulated by HBcAg and EL-18 (5.0 ng/ml) together with EL-12 (mild: t = 2.20, P<0.05; moderate; t=2.97, P<0.05; severe; t = 0.66, P >0.05). The content of HBV DNA in the superna- tant of co-cultivation of HepG2. 2. 15 cells and PBMCs without stimulated materials was higher than that stimula-ted by HBcAg and EL-18 at various concentrations of HBc- Ag and IL-18 together with IL-12/IFN-α1lb. CONCLUSION: DL-18 can induce IFN-γ secretion and pro- bably play a key role in the modulation of both innate and adaptive immunity. It has implications in improving im- munoregulatory effect and increasing the ability of immune cells to kill cells infected by virus. 展开更多

The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of toll-like receptors (TLR) 9 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with chronic hepatitis B and C with different virus copies. The study group included 90 patients (60 with chronic hepatitis B, and 30 with chronic hepatitis C), and 20 healthy people served as control group. The protein and mRNA levels of TLR9 were detected by using flow cytometry and real-time PCR. The serum viral copies of HBV and HCV were measured in all patients, and the correlation between HBV-DNA copies or HCV-RNA copies and the TLR9 expression was analyzed. Our results demonstrated that HBV or HCV infection led to a decreased expression of TLR9 mRNA and protein compared to the control group (P〈0.05). The TLR9 protein and mRNA levels were negatively correlated with serum viral copies of HBV and HCV (r=-0.632, r=-0.909, P〈0.01). It was concluded that TLR9 mRNA and protein are down-regulated in PBMC of HBV-infected or HCV-infected patients, and they are negatively correlated with serum viral copies and play an important role in detecting viral replication of HBV and HCV. 展开更多

The effect of Sinomenine on IL-8, IL-6, IL-2 and mIL-2R produced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells was investigated by using cell culture, radioimmunoassay and flow cytometry. It was showed that production of IL-8 and mIL-2R was inhibited, but the levels of IL-6 were enhanced by Sinomenine. Our results also demonstrated that Sinomenine did not have any effect on the production of IL-2. The study demonstrated that Sinomenine was able to regulate the production of cytokines. This may be one of the mechanisms by which Sinomenine works on rheumatoid arthritis. 展开更多

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate CCL8 and CXCL10 expression and its regulatory mechanism in peripheral blood leukocytes(PBLs) at the time of maternal recognition in cows. Blood samples were collected on 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 d after artificial insemination(AI). Based on the day of return of estrus, cows were divided into three groups, pregnant(n = 5), early embryonic mortality(EEM; n = 5) and late embryonic mortality(LEM; n = 5). The gene expression levels in PBLs were assessed with quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR.Results: The expression of CCL8 and CXCL10 mRNA in PBLs gradually increased from 14 to 18 d of pregnant cows and significant differences were observed on 18 d(P < 0.05), whereas no significant changes were observed both in EEM and LEM cows. Interferon-stimulated protein 15 k Da(ISG15), myxovirus-resistance gene(MX) 1 and MX2 mRNA expression in PBLs increased from 14 to 18 d which was significant on 18 d of pregnant cows as well as in LEM cows(P < 0.05), but no changes were observed in EEM cows. To determine whether the expression of CCL8 and CXCL10 in PBLs was regulated by pregnancy-related substances or not, expression level was assessed after exposure to interferon-τ(IFNT) and CCL16. Monocytes, granulocytes and lymphocytes were obtained using density-gradient centrifugation and flow cytometry. The addition of IFNT(100 ng/mL) and CCL16(100 ng/mL) to cultured PBLs increased the expression of CCL8 and CXCL10 mRNA(P < 0.05). The expression of ISG15, MX1 and MX2 mRNA in PBLs was also stimulated by IFNT and CCL16(P < 0.05).Conclusions: The expression of CCL8 and CXCL10 genes increased in PBLs during early pregnancy. Since IFNT stimulated CCL8 and CXCL10 expression in cultured PBLs, the increase of CCL8 and CXCL10 might be pregnancy-dependent events.The expression of both CCL8 and CXCL10 in PBLs was stimulated by CCL16 as wel as IFNT, suggesting a chemokine interaction that at least includes CCL8, CXCL10 and CCL16, and may play a role in regulating maternal recognition in cows. 展开更多

BACKGROUND: The resolution of hepatitis C, evidenced by normalization of liver function and disappearance of hepatitis C virus RNA from serum as determined by conventional laboratory assays, reflects virus eradication. But in interferon treated patients the HCV RNA in serum sometimes could not show the virus in cells. Such factors as virus genotype, HCV RNA contents in serum, HCV specific cellular immunities after treatment were reported to predict the response to interferon therapy. In most patients, HCV RNA could detect the virus in peripheral blood mononucle-ar cell. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of HCV RNA in PBMC of patients with chronic hepatitis C after interferon treatment. METHODS: Sixteen patients with chronic hepatitis C were treated with interferon for 24 weeks, and they all get complete responses at 12 weeks of treatment. At the end of treatment, the HCV RNA in PBMC and serum were detected by RT-PCR, and after stopping treatment, HCV RNA in serum was monitored continually. RESULTS: In 9 patients who were HCV RNA positive in their PBMC at the end of treatment, 8 showed serum HCV RNA positive after 24 weeks and another 1 after 1 year. In 7 patients with negative HCV RNA in their PBMC, only 2 patients relapsed in serum HCV RNA after 1-year follow-up, and others remained viral response after 3.5 years. CONCLUSION: HCV RNA in PBMC at the end of IFN treatment is a predictor of durable response to antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C. 展开更多

BACKGROUND: The ischemic-type biliary lesion (ITBL) is one of the most serious biliary complications of liver transplantation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (BM-MNC) implantation on neovascularization and the prevention of intrahepatic ITBL in a rabbit model. METHODS: The rabbits were divided into control, experimental model, and cell implantation groups, with 10 in each group. The model of intrahepatic ITBL was established by clamping the hepatic artery and common bile duct. Autologous BM-MNCs were isolated from the tibial plateau by density gradient centrifugation and were implanted through the common hepatic artery. Changes in such biochemical markers as aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, total bilirubin and direct bilirubin were measured. Four weeks after operation, cholangiography, histopathological manifestations, differentiation of BM-MNCs, microvessel density and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor were assessed. RESULTS: Compared with the experimental model group, the BM-MNC implantation group showed superiority in the time to recover normal biochemistry. The microvessel density and vascular endothelial growth factor expression of the implantation group were significantly higher than those of the control and experimental model groups. The ITBL in the experimental model group was more severe than that in the implantation group and fewer new capillary blood vessels occurred around it. CONCLUSIONS: Implanted autologous BM-MNCs can differentiate into vascular endothelial cells, promote neovascularization and improve the blood supply to the ischemic bile duct, and this provides a new way to diminish or prevent intrahepatic ITBL after liver transplantation.

To investigate the changes of the activity of telomerase in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from senile patients with pneumonia, the telomerase activity was examined before and after the stimulation of phytohemagglutinin-M (PHA-M) in PBMCs from 10 control subjects (group A), 12 non-senile patients with pneumonia (group B) and 9 senile patients with pneumonia (group C). Also observed was the proliferative response of these PBMCs to PHA-M. The results showed that, both with or without the stimulation of PHA-M, the values of telomerase activity in PBMCs from group C patients (A values: pre-stimulation, 0.43±0.04; post-stimulation, 0. 63± 0. 03) were significantly lower than those in PBMCs from both group A patients (A values: prestimulation, 0. 65 ± 0. 05 ; post-stimulation, 1.26 ± 0. 13 ; P〈0. 001, respectively) and group B patients (A values: pre-stimulation, 0. 63±0. 03; post-stimulation, 0. 93± 0. 03; P〈0. 05, respectively). The results of MTT test showed that the proliferative activity of PBMCs in group C patients (A value: 0. 35±0. 03) was also significantly lower than that in group A patients (A value: 0. 55±0. 04; P〈0. 05) and group B patients (A value= 0. 46±0.03; P〈0.05). These results indicate that the telomerase activity decreases in senile patients with pneumonia, which may be one of the mechanisms for the weakened immune function in those patients. 展开更多

AIM: To study the dynamic changes of hepatits B virus (HBV) DNA in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients after lamivudine therapy. METHODS: A total of 72 patients with chronic HBV infection were included in this study. All patients were confirmed to have the following conditions: above 16 years of age, elevated serum alanine amonotransferase (ALT), positive hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), positive HBV DNA in serum and PBMCs, negative antibodies against HAV, HCV, HDV, HEV. Other possible causes of chronic liver damages, such as drugs, alcohol and autoimmune diseases were excluded. Seventy-two cases were randomly divided into lamivudine treatment group (n = 42) and control group (n = 30). HBV DNA was detected both in serum and in PBMCs by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), during and after lamivudine treatment. RESULTS: In the treatment group, HBV DNA became negative both in serum and in PBMC, of, 38 and 25 out of 42 cases respectively during the 48 wk oflamivudine treatment, the negative rate was 90.5% and 59.5% respectively. In the control group, the negative rate was 23.3% and 16.7% respectively. It was statistically significant at 12, 24 and 48 wk as compared with the control group (P 〈 0.005). The average conversion period of HBV DNA was 6 wk (2-8 wk) in serum and 16 wk (8-24 wk) in PBMC.CONCLUSION: Lamivudine has remarkable effects on HBV replication both in serum and The inhibitory effect on HBV DNA in PBMCs than that in serum inhibitory in PBMCs. is weaker 展开更多
