Objective: To study the inhibitory effect of Jinye Baidu Preparation (JBP), a Chinese medicinal preparation, on human cytomegalovirus protein kinase pu197 and to explore its molecular mechanism in treating human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection.
Methods: Expression of the HCMV pu197mRNA in infected cells was measured by semi-quantitative RT-PCR before and after intervention of JBP or Ganciclovir (GCV), and effect of the two medicines on the proliferation activity of the infected cells was observed by MTT.
Results: Both JBP and GCV showed obvious inhibitory action on HCMV pu197mRNA. They could significantly enhance the proliferation activity of the cells 72 hours after HCMV infection.
Conclusion: JBP could inhibit the gene expression and duplication of HCMV by inhibiting the gene expression of HCMV protein kinase pu197 to enhance the proliferation activity of the infected cells so as to achieve its anti-virus action.

In unrelated allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), older and/or HLA-mismatched donors are known risk factors for survival outcomes. In healthy individuals, cytomegalovirus (CMV) seropositivity is associated with impaired adaptive immune systems. We assessed whether the adverse effects of donor risk factors are influenced by the donor CMV serostatus.

Background: Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism and variable immune dysfunction. Among three distinct types of GS, occurring due to different genetic mutations; GS type 1 presents with neurological manifestations, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) generally develops in GS type 2, and GS type 3 primarily exhibits oculocutaneous albinism. HLH, a life-threatening condition with excessive immune activation, may occur secondary to various triggers, including infections, and develop in different tissues, as well as in the testis, similar to Erdheim-Chester disease.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a significant cause of morbidity and death in solid organ transplant recipients. Pre-emptive treatment of patients with CMV viraemia using antiviral agents has been suggested as an alternative to routine prophylaxis to prevent CMV disease. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2006 and updated in 2013.

Fournier gangrene is a rare but severe complication of ulcerative colitis, characterized by necrotizing fasciitis affecting the genital and perineal regions. We present a case of a 53-year-old man with a history of ulcerative colitis and cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis who developed Fournier gangrene, an exceptionally uncommon occurrence in this patient population. The patient initially presented with intense pain, swelling, and skin discoloration in the genital area, accompanied by systemic symptoms, including fever.

Background/aims: Diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) ileocolitis traditionally requires colonoscopy with tissue biopsy. Due to potential complications in high-risk patients, there is growing interest in serum and stool tests for diagnosing this condition. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of these noninvasive tests compared to traditional gold standards.
