Glial nodule encephalitis in the guinea pig: serial observations following cytomegalovirus infection

Summary Cytomegalovirus (CMV) encephalitis, characterized by microglial nodules, is a major neurological complication in AIDS. There is a clear need for a well-characterized laboratory model of CMV encephalitis. We report here the sequential virological, histopathological, and antibody responses of young guinea pigs inoculated intracerebrally with guinea pig CMV. Virus was found to peak in the brain in the 1st week, to peak in the spleen in the 2nd week, and to be cleared from the brain with the development of serum neutralizing antibody 3 to 4 weeks post infection. Leptomeningitis peaked at the end of the 1st week, independent of the changes found in the parenchyma. Diffuse and focal infiltration of systemic cells was found in the cortex. Microglial nodules consisting of swirled and elongated cells, sometimes in association with intranuclear inclusion bearing cells, were prominent. The parenchymal changes, including scattered foci of ependymitis and ventriculitis, were most prominent in the 2nd week post infection. This model should facilitate studies of the host defense response in the brain and of the role of antiviral therapy in CMV encephalitis.Supported by funds from the Medical Research Service of the Veterans Administration     

Genetic susceptibility to herpetic encephalitis of inbred rabbits of B/Jas strain

Inbred rabbits of B/Jas strain were found to be highly susceptible to herpes simplex virus type 1 encephalitis, following i.v. injection of the virus, while Chbb:HM strain rabbits were not susceptible. The susceptibility trait seemed to be inherited recessively, involving multiple genes, because (B/Jas x Chbb:HM)Fl hybrids were as resistant as Chbb:HM rabbits, and because more than 90% of backcrosses of (B/Jas x Chbb: HM)FI to B/Jas were resistant to viral inoculation. The encephalitis in B/Jas rabbits resembled human herpes simplex encephalitis, in that the temporal lobe as well as the brain stem were affected preferentially, leading to the development of various types of seizures, such as circling, loss of balance leading to a fall, and tonic and clonic convulsions. The disease could be diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis before onset of seizures, and diseased rabbits showed a marked lymphopenia at onset of seizures. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

巢式聚合酶链反应检测脑脊液中单纯疱疹病毒DNA

应用巢式聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测患者脑脊液(CSF)中单纯疱疹病毒1型(HSV-1)DNA。23例经鞘内HSV-1特异性IgG抗体检测阳性的“HSV-1型性脑炎(HSE)”中19例PCR阳性,4例阴性患者病程均超过1个月。22例IgG阴性的“散发性脑炎”中7例PCR阳性,此7例皆于发病1周内检查CSF,其中2例取材于发病当日。1周后复查7例患者,CSF PCR仍为阳性,IgG皆阴性,提示PCR适用于HSE的早期诊断。     

散发性病毒性脑炎免疫组化和原位杂交研究

２０例临床诊断为散发性病毒性脑炎的尸检和活检脑组织，通过单纯疱疹病毒多克隆抗体免疫组化和生物素标记单纯疱疹病毒ＤＮＡ探针原位杂交研究，５例诊断为单纯疱疹病毒脑炎。结果说明：单纯疱疹病毒是国内散发性病毒性脑炎的重要病原；免疫组化和原位杂交是诊断单纯疱疹脑炎的两种敏感方法。     

应用地理信息系统分析中国肾综合征出血热的空间分布

目的　利用地理信息系统 (GIS)技术分析中国大陆肾综合征出血热 (HFRS)的空间区域分布 ,建立HFRS危险区域分布图。方法　收集中国 41个HFRS监测点 1 995～ 1 998年的人群发病资料建立数据库 ,以中国省级、县级、一级河流数字地图为背景 ,在ArcGIS软件的支持下 ,与建立的数据库关联并对监测点人群发病资料进行反距离权重插值分析 ;收集 1 998年 6月SPOT4卫星覆盖东南亚地区的植被影像 ,逐一提取出各监测点监测区域的归一化植被指数 (NDVI) ,与 1 995～ 1 998年HFRS监测点人群平均发病率进行相关分析 ;根据不同流行强度监测区域的NDVI值 ,对遥感影像使用不同的颜色进行密度分割。结果　HFRS监测点人群发病资料的空间分析预测模型显示 ,中国HFRS主要分布于黑龙江流域、黄河中下游地区、长江中下游地区及京杭大运河 淮河流域地区 ,与1 995～ 1 998年全国各县HFRS平均发病率分布图进行比较 ,发现两者基本一致 ;相关分析显示HFRS发病率与NDVI之间呈现正相关 (r=0 .41 7,P <0 .0 1 ) ,根据各监测点NDVI的差异建立了中国HFRS危险区域分布图。结论　根据监测点数据采用GIS技术建立的预测模型对预测全国HFRS的分布情况有重要意义     

重视心血管病流行病学研究工作

自 2 0世纪 90年代 ,心血管病已逐渐成为我国城乡居民的第一位死因 ,目前已占总死亡人数的近40 %。心血管病也是造成劳动力损失、生活质量下降、疾病负担增加的主要原因。据不完全统计资料估计 ,我国每年新发冠心病事件 (包括急性心肌梗死、冠心病猝死和慢性冠心病死亡 )约 1 3 0万例次 ,脑卒中约 40 0万例次。全国现有 1 .1亿高血压患者 ,1亿多血脂异常者 ,3 0 0 0万糖尿病患者。人群中有一半以上的人至少具有 1种心血管病危险因素。心血管疾病以其高发病率、高致残率、高病死率及高治疗费用 ,严重制约了我国经济发展和人民生活水平及生存…     

Cross-sectional study of allergic disorders associated with breastfeeding in Japan: The Ryukyus Child Health Study

Uncertainties remain as to whether breastfeeding is protective against childhood allergic disorders. Positive relationships of breastfeeding with asthma and atopic eczema were observed in two previous Japanese studies. This cross-sectional study investigated the association between the feeding pattern after birth and the prevalence of allergic disorders during the past 12 months in Japanese schoolchildren. Study subjects were 24,077 children aged 6-15 yr in Okinawa. The outcomes were based on diagnostic criteria from the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood. Allowance was made for age, sex, number of siblings, smoking in the household, paternal and maternal history of asthma, atopic eczema, and allergic rhinitis, and paternal and maternal educational level. Breastfeeding, regardless of exclusivity, for 13 months or longer and exclusive breastfeeding for 4-11 months were independently associated with a higher prevalence of atopic eczema, particularly among children without a parental allergic history. A clear positive dose-response relationship was observed between prolonged duration of breastfeeding, regardless of exclusivity, but not exclusive breastfeeding, and the prevalence of atopic eczema. We found a significant positive trend for atopic eczema across the three categories (formula milk, partial and exclusive breastfeeding) in the first 4 months of life although the odds ratio for exclusive breastfeeding was not statistically significant. No material association was found between the feeding pattern after birth and the prevalence of wheeze or allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Prolonged breastfeeding may be associated with a higher prevalence of atopic eczema in Japanese children.
