Article Synopsis
  • Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) is a virus that significantly affects goldfish and crucian carp, leading to high mortality rates; research focused on the interactions between this virus and fish cells.
  • A quantitative proteomics analysis revealed that the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is up-regulated during CyHV-2 infection, prompting further investigation using the PI3K inhibitor LY294002, which successfully inhibited viral replication.
  • The study also evaluated quercetin, a natural compound, showing that it possesses antiviral properties against CyHV-2, suggesting that it, along with other plant extracts, could be developed into an effective treatment for this virus in aquaculture.

Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) is the pathogen of herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis (HVHN), causing the severe economic losses in farmed gibel carp (). Further exploration of the genome structure and potential molecular pathogenesis of CyHV-2 through complete genome sequencing, comparative genomics, and molecular characterization is required. Herein, the genome of a CyHV-2 YC-01 strain isolated from diseased gibel carp collected in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, China was sequenced, then we analyzed the genomic structure, genetic properties, and molecular characterization.

The mode and outcome of fish-virus interactions are influenced by many abiotic factors, among which water temperature is especially important in poikilothermic fish. Rare minnow is a eurythermal small cyprinid fish that is sensitive to infection with genotype II grass carp reovirus (GCRV). HSP70, a conservative and key player in heat shock response, is previously identified as an induced pro-viral factor during GCRV infection in vitro.

Objective: Radical hysterectomy has long been considered as the standard surgical treatment for early-stage cervical cancer (IA2 to IB1 stages), according to the 2009 International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology. This study aims to conduct an in-depth evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of non-radical surgery as an alternative treatment for patients with early-stage cervical cancer.

Methods: A systematic search of online databases including PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was conducted to identify relevant literature on surgical treatment options for early-stage cervical cancer.

To develop and validate a nomograph to predict the long-term survival probability of cervical cancer (CC) patients in Asia, Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) were used to collect information about CC patients in Asia. The patient data were randomly sampled and divided into a training group and a validation group by 7:3. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to screen key indicators, and multivariate Cox regression model was used to establish a prognostic risk prediction model for CC patients.

Background: Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) is a pathogenic fish virus belonging to family Alloherpesviridae. The CyHV-2 gene encoding thymidine kinase (TK) is an important virulence-associated factor. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the biological function of open reading frame 55 (ORF55) in viral replication.

Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) is a causative factor of herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis (HVHN) in farmed crucian carp () and goldfish (). In this study, we analyzed the genomic characteristics of a new strain, CyHV-2 SH-01, isolated during outbreaks in crucian carp at a local fish farm near Shanghai, China. CyHV-2 SH-01 exhibited a high sensitivity to goldfish and crucian carp in our previous research.
