Hepatitis E virus (HEV) represents the main cause of acute hepatitis worldwide. HEV infection in immunocompromised patients involves a high risk for development chronic hepatitis. Because is recognized as zoonotic pathogen, it currently believed that swine primary reservoir. However, this not sufficient to justify strikingly seroprevalence both developing and Western countries. Thus, study aimed identify new sources bear transmission humans. We collected fecal, blood, milk samples cows...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of acute hepatitis worldwide, primarily transmitted by fecal-oral route. Zoonotic transmission HEV from HEV-infected pigs (pork) or cows (milk) to human non-human primate has been confirmed, but the risk in goat still rarely assessed. In present study, stool, blood, tissues, and milk were collected for infection investigation Dali City Yunnan Province China, where raw mutton are traditionally consumed. Surprisingly, high prevalence was found....

Worldwide, the Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is main pathogen of acute viral hepatitis, with an extremely high mortality in pregnant women. However, pathogenesis HEV infection women remains largely unknown. We established HEV-infected mice animal model to explore adverse pregnancy outcomes infection. Mice were infected their early, middle and late stages pregnancy. RNA was detected tissues (liver, spleen, kidney, colon, uterus placenta) mice. antigens also these Miscarriages (7/8, 87.5%) occurred...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection causes high mortality in pregnant women. However, the pathogenic mechanisms of HEV women remain unknown. In this study, roles pregnancy serum were investigated using an efficient cell culture system. was exacerbated by supplementing with serum, especially theat third trimester pregnancy. Oestrogen receptors (ER-α and ER-β) activated cells supplemented significantly inhibited during infection. Type I IFN, IFN-β, showed delayed upregulation HEV-infected...

Rhesus macaque is an important animal model in biomedical research, especially human disease, developmental, translational, and pre-clinical research. Blood physiological biochemical parameters are markers for physiology, pathology, toxicology However, these have not been systematically reported Chinese rhesus macaques. To characterize the reference parameters, this study collected 1805 macaques living Southwestern China. A total of 24 blood indexes 27 were determined. Sex age found to...

Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the major pathogen of viral hepatitis. HEV causes high mortality in pregnant women. Its infection during pregnancy usually leads to fulminant hepatic failure, spontaneous abortions, premature delivery, or stillbirth. Vertical transmission has been reported, but pathogenesis remains largely elusive. Pregnant rhesus macaques were infected with explore genotype 4 pregnancy. Active infections established shedding viruses feces and blood, elevated liver...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) persists in the male genital tract that associates with infertility. However, presence of HEV female is unreported. Vaginal secretions, cervical smears, and cervix uteri were collected to explore tract. RNA and/or antigens detected vaginal women. The infectivity excreted into secretions was further validated vitro. In addition, replicates identified HEV-infected animal models by injection or mucosal infection imitate sexual transmission. Serious damage inflammatory...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of hepatitis in developing countries and poses threat to public health worldwide. Tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) useful animal model studies on viruses, such as B C viruses. However, the use this for HEV research yet be developed. shrews were intravenously (IV) injected with swine genotype 4 or infected by contact-exposure IV tree shrews. RT-nPCR was performed detect RNA feces, tissues, blood. capsid protein different tissues detected Western...

Following abdominal surgery, patients usually experience a transient episode of impaired gastrointestinal motility. This study aimed to determine whether single preoperative dose dexamethasone can promote the recovery function in following elective surgery.In this single-center, two-arm, parallel, randomized controlled trial, we studied 126 (aged 18-80 years) who underwent open or laparoscopic bowel surgery for malignant benign pathology. At induction anesthesia, treatment group (n = 64)...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection has become a global concern with high mortality rates among pregnant women, especially those in their third trimester of pregnancy. Estrogen plays an important role mediating the body, regulating physiological and pathological processes. is activated by binding to estrogen receptors (ERs) mediates rapid signaling events pathways that involve transmembrane ERs. Our previous study had confirmed levels during pregnancy are associated HEV titers. However,...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the main pathogen of hepatitis worldwide. However, its infection biology and pathogenesis remain largely unknown. Suitable small animal models are required to advance study HEV infection. Although an efficient model genotype 1 (gt1) gt3 has been established in human liver chimeric mice, infectivity gt4 mice not comprehensively characterized. In this study, immunocompromised BALB/c nude, immunocompetent BALB/c, C57BL/6 were inoculated with either or (19 strains,...
