| 1 | Identification and Typing of Respiratory Adenoviruses in Guangzhou, Southern China Using a Rapid and Simple Method显示文摘Human adenoviruses (HAdVs), especially HAdV-B3, -E4 and -B7, are associated with Acute Respiratory Disease in Chinese children, and occasionally in adults. In order to establish and document the profiles of the respiratory adenovirus pathogen among children in Guangzhou, Southern China, a rapid, simple and practical method for identification and typing of respiratory adenoviruses was developed and evaluated. One pair of universal PCR primers was designed according to the conserved region of the hexon gene, which can detect not only HAdV-B3, -E4 and -B7, but also HAdV-B14, -F40 and -F41, with a specific 300bp PCR product. Three pairs of type-specific PCR primers were also designed according to the hypervariable regions of the hexon gene to type HAdV-B3, -E4 and -B7 by three independent PCR reactions, making it easy to optimize the PCR conditions. By using this method, one hundred throat swab specimens collected during Oct 2010 to Dec 2011 and suspected of being positive for adenoviral infection were identified and typed for adenoviruses. Of these samples, fifty-five were adenovirus-positive. The most common HAdV type was HAdV-B3, identified in 92.7% of samples, which is not only consistent with the data reported in 2004-2006, but also consistent with the recent report in Hangzhou, eastern China, indicating that HAdV-B3 has been circulating in Guangzhou, and maybe in eastern China, for many years. The method for the respiratory adenovirus identification and typing we developed is rapid, simple and practical, which has a potential in the real-time surveillance of circulating adenovirus strains and also to provide etiological evidence for the adenovirus-relative disease control and prevention in China. | Guiyuan Han Hongling Niu Suhui Zhao Bing Zhu Changbing Wang Yungang Liu Mingjie Zhang Shu Yang Feitong Liu Chengsong Wan Qiwei Zhang | 2013 | Virologica Sinica2013,28,2: | 10 |
| 2 | Genomic sequencing and analysis of the first imported Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus(MERS CoV) in China显示文摘Dear Editors,Middle East Respiratory Syndrome(MERS)has spread to more than 23 countries since the first case of a MERS coronavirus(MERS Co V)infection was confirmed in Sep2012[1].Because MERS Co V has led to mortality as high as 40%,it has become one of the most important emerging pathogens threatening human health.Recently,the outbreak of MERS Co V,which resulted in 172 infections and | XIE Qian CAO YuJuan SU Juan WU XianBo WAN ChengSong KE ChangWen ZHAO Wei ZHANG Bao | 2015 | Science China(Life Sciences)2015,58,8: | 8 |
| 3 | Piperlongumine Inhibits Zika Virus Replication In vitro and Promotes Up-Regulation of HO-1 Expression, Suggesting An Implication of Oxidative Stress显示文摘Owing to the widespread distribution of mosquitoes capable of transmitting Zika virus, lack of clinical vaccines and treatments, and poor immunity of populations to new infectious diseases, Zika virus has become a global public health concern. Recent studies have found that Zika virus can continuously infect human brain microvascular endothelial cells.These cells are the primary components of the blood–brain barrier of the cerebral cortex, and further infection of brain tissue may cause severe damage such as encephalitis and fetal pituitary disease. The present study found that a biologically active base, piperlongumine(PL), inhibited Zika virus replication in human brain microvascular endothelial cells, Vero cells, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. PL also significantly increased heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) gene expression, while silencing HO-1 expression and using the reactive oxygen species scavenger, N-acetylcysteine, attenuated the inhibitory effect of PL on Zika virus replication. These results suggest that PL induces oxidative stress in cells by increasing reactive oxygen species. This, in turn, induces an increase in HO-1 expression, thereby inhibiting Zika virus replication. These findings provide novel clues for drug research on the prevention and treatment of Zika virus. | Weizhi Lu Linjuan Shi Jing Gao Huimin Zhu Ying Hua Jintai Cai Xianbo Wu Chengsong Wan Wei Zhao Bao Zhang | 2021 | Virologica Sinica2021,36,3: | 4 |
| 4 | Desmoglein 2(DSG2) Is A Receptor of Human Adenovirus Type 55 Causing Adult Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia显示文摘Human adenovirus type 55(HAdV-B55) is a re-emergent acute respiratory disease pathogen that causes adult communityacquired pneumonia(CAP). Previous studies have shown that the receptor of HAdV-B14, which genome is highly similar with HAdV-B55, is human Desmoglein 2(DSG2). However, whether the receptor of HAdV-B55 is DSG2 is undetermined because there are three amino acid mutations in the fiber gene between HAdV-B14 and HAdV-B55. Here, firstly we found the 3T3 cells, a mouse embryo fibroblast rodent cell line which does not express human DSG2, were able to be infected by HAdV-B55 after transfected with pcDNA3.1-DSG2, while normal 3T3 cells were still unsusceptible to HAdV-B55 infection. Next, A549 cells with h DSG2 knock-down by siRNA were hard to be infected by HAdV-B3/-B14/-B55, while the control siRNA group was still able to be infected by all these types of HAdVs. Finally, immunofluorescence confocal microscopy indicated visually that Cy3-conjugated HAdV-B55 viruses entered A549 cells by binding to DSG2 protein.Therefore, DSG2 is a major receptor of HAdV-B55 causing adult CAP. Our finding is important for better understanding of interactions between adenoviruses and host cells and may shed light on the development of new drugs that can interfere with these processes as well as for the development of potent prophylactic vaccines. | Jing Zhang Kui Ma Xiangyu Wang Yinbo Jiang Shan Zhao Junxian Ou Wendong Lan Wenyi Guan Xiaowei Wu Heping Zheng Bin Yang Chengsong Wan Wei Zhao Jianguo Wu Qiwei Zhang | 2021 | Virologica Sinica2021,36,6: | 4 |
| 5 | Determination of mechanical properties of Zanthoxylum armatum using the discrete element method显示文摘Using the discrete element method to investigate the behavior of particles is a crucial strategy in the research and development of novel equipment.Green pepper(Zanthoxylum armatum)is a globally renewable plant-derived medicinal and food homologous commodity with a wide range of uses and great demand,but the mechanical properties needed to develop its processing equipment are scarce.Thus,this case study aimed to systematically explore the necessary input parameters to model green pepper,and to provide new insights for the guidance of future industrial applications worldwide.On the basis of the experimental measured physical properties,the contact properties of green pepper on zinc-coated steel were first calibrated and then used to determine the contact properties between particles.The differences between the experimental and simulation results were analyzed for selection and verification of the contact properties accurately.Difference analysis confirmed that the co-efficient of restitution,coefficient of static friction and coefficient of rolling friction for contact between the particle and zinc-coated steel have values of 0.392,0.650,and 0.168,and those coefficients for particle-to-particle contact have values of 0.199,0.710,and 0.184,respectively.Discoveries in this work may contribute to the research and development of production equipment for green pepper. | Jian Zhang Hong Zhou Fan Luo Long Wan Chengsong Li Lihong Wang | 2022 | Food Quality and Safety2022,6,4: | 1 |
| 6 | Effect of the ultraviolet/chlorine process on microbial community structure,typical pathogens,and antibiotic resistance genes in reclaimed water显示文摘Urban wastewater contains a wide range of pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs),which are a serious concern if reusing treated wastewater.However,few studies have explored the microbial communities in reclaimed water using ultraviolet(UV)/chlorine treatment and assessed the changes of the resistome.This study investigated the occurrence of typical pathogens,ARGs,and bacterial communities in UV/chlorine-treated reclaimed water samples.The numbers of culturable and viable but non-culturable pathogens were effectively reduced to 0 CFU/mL within 1–10 and 10–30 min after UV/chlorine treatment,respectively.Meanwhile,the physicochemical indices of water quality were not affected.UV/chlorine treatment could significantly change the bacterial community structure of reclaimed water,showing a decrease in bacterial abundance and diversity.Chlorine-resistant Acinetobacter and Mycobacterium were the dominant bacterial genera(>50%)after UV/chlorine treatment.Moreover,the number of ARGs and mobile genetic elements(MGEs)decreased with an increase in UV/chlorine exposure.However,eight ARGs and three MGEs were consistently detected in more than three seasons,making these major concerns because of their potential role in the persistence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance.Overall,the results of this study suggest that UV/chlorine treatment can potentially improve the microbiological safety of reclaimed water.And more attention should be paid to the pathogens that are both chlorine-resistant and carry MGEs because of their potential for resistance transmission. | Chengsong Ye Yuming Chen Lin Feng Kun Wan Jianguo Li Mingbao Feng Xin Yu | 2022 | Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering2022,16,8: | 0 |
| 7 | simple and effective aerosol pathogen disinfection test for a flowing air disinfector显示文摘Aerosol transmission is an important disease transmission route and has been especially pertinent to hospital and biosafety laboratories during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.The thermal resistance of airborne SARS-CoV-2 is lower than that of Bacillus subtilis spores,which are often used to test the effectiveness of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogen disinfection methods.Herein,we propose a new method to test the disinfection ability of a flowing air disinfector(a digital electromagnetic induction air heater)using B.subtilis spores.The study provides an alternative air disinfection test method.The new test system combined an aerosol generator and a respiratory filter designed in-house and could effectively recover spores on the filter membrane at the air outlet after passing through the flowing air disinfector.The total number of bacterial spores used in the test was within the range of 5×10^(5)–5×10^(6)colony-forming units(CFUs)specified in the technical standard for disinfection.The calculation was based on the calculation method in Air Disinfection Effect Appraisal Test in Technical Standard for Disinfection(2002 Edition).At an air speed of 3.5 m/s,we used a digital electromagnetic induction air heater to disinfect flowing air containing 4.100×10^(6)CFUs of B.subtilis spores and determined that the minimum disinfection temperature was 350℃for a killing rate of 99.99%.At 400℃,additional experiments using higher spore concentrations(4.700×10^(6)±1.871×10^(5)CFU)and a higher airspeed(4 m/s)showed that the killing rate remained>99.99%.B.subtilis spores,as a biological indicator for testing the efficiency of dry-heat sterilization,were killed by the high temperatures used in this system.The proposed method used to test the flowing air disinfector is simple,stable,and effective.This study provides a reference for the development of test systems that can assess the disinfection ability of flowing air disinfectors. | Xuling Liu Zhiran Qin Linqing Wang Xiaoting Xie Yifang Fu Jianhai Yu Zuxin Liang Xiaoen He Jingshu Li Hong Dai Jinxiu Yao Qinghua Wu Weiwei Xiao Li Zhu Chengsong Wan Bao Zhang Wei Zhao | 2023 | Journal of Biosafety and Biosecurity2023,5,1: | 0 |
