Accordingly, this study aimed to figure out if chronic consumption of morphine in the drinking water can induce morphine addiction in Wistar rats. Methods： For 3 weeks, the animals received a daily morphine dose of 35 mg/kg by offering a calculated volume of sugar water （5% sucrose） with morphine （0. l mg/ml） to each rat; animals receiving just sugar water served as controls. Immediately after the treatment phase, the tail immersion test was used to check for morphine tolerance, and all animals were then kept on tap water for one week （withdrawal phase）. Afterwards, all rats were allowed to choose their drinking source by offering two bottles, containing sugar water without and with morphine, simultaneously for two days （preference phase）. Results： While the chronic consumption of morphine led to a reduction in body weight and to morphine tolerance, the morphine-treated Wistar rats did not show any preference for the opiate-containing sugar water. Conclusion： Body weight loss and tolerance do not reveal a condition of drug craving, and current animal models should be re-evaluated regarding their potential to establish morphine addicted animals.展开更多

SARS-CoV from human has shown some variations but its origin is still unknown. The genotyping and phylogeny of SARS-CoV were analyzed and reported in this paper. Methods Full or partial genomes of 44 SARS-CoV strains were collected from GenBank. The genotype,single nucleotide polymorphism and phylogeny of these SARS-CoV strains were analyzed by molecular biological,bioinformatic and epidemiological methods. Results There were 188 point mutations in the 33 virus full genomes with the counts of mutation mounting to 297. Further analysis was carried out among 36 of 188 loci with more than two times of mutation. All the 36 mutation loci occurred in coding sequences and 22 loci were non-synonymous. The gene mutation rates of replicase 1AB,S2 domain of spike glycoprotein and nucleocapsid protein were lower (0.079%-0.103%). There were 4 mutation loci in S1 domain of spike glycoprotein. The gene mutation rate of ORF10 was the highest (3.333%) with 4 mutation loci in this small domain (120 bp) and 3 of 4 loci related to deletion mutation. By bioinformatics processing and analysis,the nucleotides at 7 loci of genome (T∶T∶A∶G∶T∶C∶T/C∶G∶G∶A∶C∶T∶C) can classify SARS-CoV into two types. Therefore a novel definition is put forward that according to these 7 loci of mutation,40 strains of SARS-CoV in GenBank can be grouped into two genotypes,T∶T∶A∶G∶T∶C∶T and C∶G∶ G∶A∶ C∶T∶C,and named as SARS-CoV Yexin genotype and Xiaohong genotype. The two genotypes can be further divided into some sub-genotypes. These genotypes can also be approved by phylogenetic tree of three levels of 44 loci of mutation, spike glycoprotein gene and complete genome sequence. Compared to various strains among SARS-CoV Yexin genotype and Xiaohong genotype,GD01 strain of Yexin genotype is more closely related to SARS-CoV like-virus from animals. Conclusion The results mentioned above suggest that SARS-CoV is responding to host immunological pressures and experiencing variation which provide clues,information and evidence of molecular biology for the clinical pathology,vaccine developing and epidemic investigation.展开更多

The complete genome sequence of ZJ01 consisted of 29 715 bp (GenBank accession: AY297028, version; gi: 30910859). Seventeen SARS-associated coronavirus genome sequences in GenBank were compared to analyze the common sequence variations and the probability of co-occurrence of multiple polymorphisms or mutations. Phylogenetic analysis of those sequences was done.Results By bioinformatics processing and analysis, the 5 loci nucleotides at ZJ01 genome were found being T, T, G, T and T, respectively. Compared with other SARS-associated coronavirus genomes in the GenBank database, an A/G mutation was detected besides the other 4 mutation loci (C: G: C: C/T: T: T: T) involved in this genetic signature. Therefore a new definition was put forward according to the 5 mutation loci. SARS-associated coronavirus strains would be grouped into two genotypes (C: G: A: C: C/T: T: G: T: T), and abbreviated as SARS coronavirus C genotype and T genotype. On the basis of this new definition, the ZJ01 isolate belongs to SARS-associated coronavirus T genotype, first discovered and reported in China's Mainland. Phylogenetic analysis of the spike protein gene fragments of these SARS-associated coronavirus strains showed that the GZ01 isolate was phylogenetically distinct from other isolates, and compared with groups F1 and F2 of the T genotype, the isolates of BJ01 and CUHK-W1 were more closely related to the GZ01 isolate. It was interesting to find that two (A/G and C/T) of the five mutation loci occurred in the spike protein gene, which caused changes of Asp to Gly and Thr to He in the protein, respectively.Conclusion Attention should be paid to whether these genotype and mutation patterns are related to the virus' s biological activities, epidemic characteristics and host clinical symptoms.展开更多

文摘Salmonella is widely known as one of the most common foodborne pathogens,and antibiotics remain effective in clinical therapies against its infections.To guide better clinical antibiotic treatment,we analyzed the antimicrobial resistance(AMR)profiles of a nation-wide collection of 36,822 Salmonella isolates derived from sporadic diarrhea cases in China from 2014 to 2021.A panel of 15 antibiotics,including 10 critically important and 5 highly important antimicrobial agents for human medicine based on the WHO CIA List,was selected for AMR surveillance.Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium,Enteritidis,I 4,[5],12:i:-,London,and Stanley were turns to be the top five serotypes from human diarrhea cases in China.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that the majority of the isolates(87.2%)were resistant to at least one antimicrobial agent,and 66.5%were multidrug resistant(MDR).Salmonella isolates were found to be highly resistant to ampicillin(73.4%)while sensitive to imipenem(98.73%).Over the eight years,the isolates were demonstrated generally an increase in resistance to ampicillin,chloramphenicol,trimethoprim-sulfameth-oxazole,and azithromycin,but displayed varied resistance profiles in terms of serotypes.Stanley(0.66-27.18%)and Agona(0.78-45.30%)had lower resistance rates compared to Typhimurium(1.11-85.6%),Enteritidis(1.55-91.29%),and I 4,[5],12:i:-(1.02-94.28%).In conclusion,our results provide systematic data on the resistance characteristics of Salmonella isolates from human diarrhea cases in China.Furthermore,this data identifies priorities for the clinical treatments of antibiotics.
