Insects exhibit a particular resistance to infections.The activation of the innate immune response of insects is involved in the recognition of the infectious nonself and subsequent activation of cellular and humoral reactions.In humoral reactions,insect antibacterial peptides and lysozyme are very important in resistance to infections.Housefly(Musca domestica) is one of the most important kinds of insects and it has strong ability to adapt to the adverse circumstances.It is of momentous theoretical and practical significance to research the immunity system of housefly.The methods of inducement of housefly larvae were firstly studied.Then an antibacterial protein,whose molecular weight is 28kDa,was purified from housefly larvae,induced by 30% H2O2,through saltout,Sephadex G25 column,Sephadex G75 column and CMSepharose Fast Flow column.This antibacterial peptide had activities against most of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.

Objective To explore the recovery time of hepatic function in infants with jaundice type of human cytomega-lovirus (HCMV) hepatitis and its influencing factors. Methods The clinical data of 73 infants with jaundice type of HCMV hepa-titis admitted to hospital from February 2005 to October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The effects on hepatic function of nine factors including age, sex, liver size, total bilirubin (TBil), direct bilirubin (DBil), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspar-tate aminotransferase (AST), total bile acid (TBA) and the loads of HCMV DNA were assessed by Kaplan Meier method, and further analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression model. Results The results of Cox proportional hazards regression showed that age≤3 month (RR=0.27, 95%CI:0.10-0.70), DBil≤90μmol/L (RR=0.16, 95%CI:0.08-0.32), male (RR=0.49, 95%CI:0.26-0.94) and enlarged liver size<3 cm (RR=0.50, 95%CI:0.27-0.93) were independent factors that shorten the time for TBil back to be normal. Furthermore, AST≤120 U/L (RR=0.16, 95%CI:0.08-0.33) and enlarged liver size<3 cm (RR=0.28, 95%CI:0.15-0.49) were independent factors that shorten the time for AST back to be normal. The time for TBil back to be normal was (2.23 ± 1.54) months, which was significantly shorter than that [(3.63 ± 1.93) months] of AST (t=10.37, P<0.001). Conclusions Jaundice type HCMV hepatitis had good outcome and varied in disease course. The recovery of hepatic function was significantly adversely affected by the degree of cholestasis and hepatomegaly as well as AST level, and early treatment was conducive to the recovery.

This report presented the endemic status of schistosomiasis in the People’s Republic of China at a national level in 2015,and analyzed the data collected from the national schistosomiasis prevention and control system and 457 national schis?tosomiasis surveillance sites. Among the 12 provinces(municipality,autonomous region)endemic for schistosomiasis japonica in P. R. China,5 provinces(municipality,autonomous region),i.e.,Shanghai,Zhejiang,Fujian,Guangdong and Guangxi, had achieved transmission interruption,and 7 provinces of Sichuan,Yunnan,Jiangsu,Hubei,Anhui,Jiangxi and Hunan had achieved transmission control by the end of 2015. There were 453 endemic counties(city,district)covering 252 million peo?ple,specifically including 29 980 endemic villages of 68.61 million people at risk of infection. Among the 453 endemic counties (city,district),75.72%(343/453)and 24.28%(110/453)reached the criteria of transmission interruption and transmission control,respectively. By the end of 2015,it was estimated of 77 194 cases of schistosomiasis,which were decreased by 33.23%compared with 115 614 cases in 2014. No acute schistosomiasis cases were reported in 2015. There were 30 843 advanced schis?tosomiasis cases documented in 2015. A total of 8 736 036 individuals received schistosomiasis examinations and 3 606 individu?als were parasitologically diagnosed,which were decreased by 56.40%compared with 8 270 cases in 2014. An Oncomelania hu?pensis snail survey was performed in 19 965 endemic villages and the snails were found in 5 609 villages,accounting for 28.09%of total villages,with 31 newly detected villages with snails. The snail survey covered an area of 593 572.66 hm2 and snails were found in an area of 173 462.50 hm2,including a newly detected area of 666.04 hm2. No infected snails were found in 2015. A to?tal of 879 373 bovines were raised in the schistosomiasis endemic regions. Of them,526 062 bovines received stool examina?tions,resulting in 315 infected bovines. There were 170 438 schistosomiasis cases receiving drug treatment in 2015,with 2 449 696 individuals undergoing expanded chemotherapy. There were 318 bovines with schistosomiasis receiving drug treatment,with 483 213 bovines undergoing expanded chemotherapy. A total of 144 305.52 hm2 area was subject to snail control by using mollus?cicides,with an actual molluscicide?treated area of 69 221.57 hm2,and 4 572.06 hm2 snail habitats were treated by environmen?tal modification. Based on the data from the 457 national schistosomiasis surveillance sites,the mean Schistosoma japonicum in?fection rate was 0.05% and 0.04% in humans and bovines,respectively. No infected snails were found in all the surveillance sites. The results demonstrate a decline in the endemicity of schistosomiasis in P. R. China and the country reached the criteria of transmission control at the national level. However,the endemic situation of schistosomiasis is unstable in some regions with newly?reached transmission control,and further control and effective surveillance should be strengthened to consolidate the achievements and reduce the endemic situation of schistosomiasis in P. R. China.

Objective The hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein assembly inhibitors GLS4JHS could destroy HBV capsid assembly and the formation of non-capsid polymer structure.The aim of this study is to explore the mechanisms of GLS4JHS in inhibiting HBV replication.Methods HepAD38 cells was used as the study model.TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and quantitative real-time PCR with specific primers were used to measure the change in pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) and covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) levels under different concentrations.ChIP assay in HepAD38 cells was used to assess the recruitment of HBV core protein and histone modifications.Results The amount of cccDNA and pgRNA decreased with the increasing GLS4JHS concentrations.After the drug concentrations reached 400 nmol/L, cccDNA and pgRNA declined by 94% and 84%, respectively.Both HBV core protein occupancy on the cccDNA and cccDNA-bound H3 histone acetylation were reduced by GLS4JHS.Conclusions GLS4JHS decreases transcriptional activity of cccDNA and reduces pgRNA production by inhibiting cccDNA minichromosome bound to HBV core protein and acetylated histone H3, which results in HBV DNA formation.

Objective To evaluate the under-registration rate related to mortality surveillance program in Jinan city,from 2013 to 2014,using the capture-mark-recapture method.Methods Under the stratified cluster random sampling method,samples were stratified,according to urban and rural areas.Two districts and three counties were chosen,with three towns/streets in each county/district and eight villages/communities in each township/street,randomly selected.With the participation of departments as civil affairs,public security,maternal/child institutions and community committees as well as individuals as village doctors and community leaders,a list of deaths from January 1,2013 to December 31,2014 was collected and compared to the National Mortality Surveillance System on the rates related to under-registration.Results A total of 2 903 records on deaths were collected from 2013 to 2014,while 3 113 deaths were reported in the surveillance system of the same period.3 772 (95％ CI:3 741-3 802) deaths were estimated by the capture-mark-recapture method.The two-year total under-registration rate was 17.46％.The under-registration rates in 2013 and 2014 appeared as 19.29％ and 15.57％ (x2 =8.92,P＜0.01),respectively,with the rates in urban and rural areas as 20.91％ and 11.93％ (x2 =47.35,P＜0.01).The rates on male and female were 17.87％ and 16.98％ (x2 =0.48,P＞0.05).The rates of ＜5 years old group and ≥5 years old group were 21.57％ and 17.45％ (x2 =0.03,P＞0.05) respectively.Conclusions Under-registration in the mortality surveillance was noticed in Jinan.The capture-mark-recapture method seemed useful for evaluating the under-registration rate in the mortality surveillance program.It is suggested that the survey on under-registration rate should be carried out on the regular base.The under-registration rate seemed useful in adjusting the mortality rate.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of a flat ground exoskeleton robot in improving the walking ability of stroke survivors.Methods:Fifty-eight stroke survivors with mobility difficulties were randomly divided into a robot group ( n=29) and a control group ( n=29). In addition to routine rehabilitation, the control group received conventional walking training, while the robot group underwent exoskeleton robot-assisted gait training. The 30-minute training sessions were held twice a day, 5 days per week for 5 weeks. Before as well as after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, everyone′s walking ability was tested using the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and functional ambulation scale (FAC). General lower limb motor function was quantified using the Fugl-Meyer Lower Extremity assessment (FMA-LE). Moreover, gait analysis was conducted before and after 4 weeks of treatment. Results:After 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, the average 6MWT times of both groups were significantly better than before the treatment, with the improvement of the robot group significantly greater than that of the control group after 2 weeks. After 2 and 4 weeks the average FMA-LE and FAC scores of both groups had improved significantly compared with before treatment. After 4 weeks the stride frequency and gait cycle of both groups had improved significantly.Conclusions:Exoskeleton robot-assisted gait training can improve walking ability and lower limb motor function of stroke survivors about as well as conventional walking training.
