Human Encephalitis Caused by Pseudorabies Virus in China: A Case Report and Systematic Review.
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis
July 2022
Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a common pathogen found in pigs. The pathogenicity of PRV in humans is under researched and there are few confirmed cases of PRV infections in humans, which has led to a lack of clinical consensus. We presented a case of viral encephalitis caused by PRV in China.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to examine how chidamide affects the ability of natural killer (NK) cells to kill K562 cancer cells and the underlying mechanisms involved.
- Researchers treated K562 cells with varying concentrations of chidamide and measured NK cell interactions using flow cytometry to analyze killing activity and marker expressions.
- Results indicated that chidamide enhances the sensitivity of NK cells toward K562 cells, possibly by increasing the expression of the ULBP2 marker, while it did not exhibit significant toxicity towards K562 cells.
Background: Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonoses worldwide, causing direct losses to the livestock industry and threatening human health. Little is known about the status and factors affecting farmers' private investment in the prevention and control of sheep brucellosis in China.
Methodology/principal Findings: From April to October 2017, a cross-sectional, house-based study was conducted in 7 Chinese provinces.
Low molecular weight seleno-aminopolysaccharide (LSA) is an organic selenium compound comprising selenium and low molecular weight aminopolysaccharide (LA), a low molecular weight natural linear polysaccharide derived from chitosan. LSA has been found to exert strong pharmacological activity. In this study, we aimed to investigate the protective effect of LSA on intestinal mucosal oxidative stress in a weaning piglet model by detecting the growth performance, intestinal mucosal structure, antioxidant indices, and expression level of intracellular transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its related factors.

Although H7N9 has not aroused massive outbreaks, recurrence in the second half of 2013 makes it essential to control the spread. It is believed that the most effective control measure is to locate the original infection source and cut off the source of infection from human.

Diagnostic analysis of SDB is time-consuming and labor-intensive and entails long waiting lists for patients. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of a flow-based screening classifier as an automated diagnostic test for Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR).

The aim of this hospital-based case-control study was to assess the association between OSA and extracranial artery disease (EAD) as well as peripheral artery disease (PAD) in stroke survivors adjusting for potential confounders.
Methods: Out of 395 stroke survivors in reconvalescent phase, 235 (male 165, female 70, mean age 64.
