Objective　To investigate the effect of type II dengue virus infection on the survival rate of Aedes albopictus, to provide basic data for the prevention and control of dengue fever. Methods　The Aedes albopictus C6/36 cells were cultured to amplify and harvest type Ⅱ dengue virus. After emergence, the lab-domesticated Aedes albopictus was fed daily with freshly prepared 10% glucose water under 28℃ and humidity ≥70%, and used for infection experiment at 3-5 days of age. The day before infection, male mosquitoes were selected out, and the female mosquitoes were divided into infected and uninfected groups, deprived of food and water. When infected, they respectively were fed blood meals containing or without dengue virus typeⅡ(the blood meal of the uninfected group was the same as the infected group's, minus the presence of TypeⅡ dengue virus), and the saturated blood mosquitoes were fed with 10% glucose water. The survival of mosquitoes in two groups was observed and recorded daily. On the 14th day after blood feeding, the nucleic acid of dengue virus typeⅡof Aedes albopictus was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the infection rate was calculated. The survival rates of infected and uninfected Aedes albopictus were calculated and compared. The survival curves of the two groups were plotted using survival analysis and the log-rank test was performed. Results　A total of 99 infected saturated blood Aedes albopictus were reared in the infected group, and 83 in the uninfected group. By the 14th day after infection, 31 and 15 mosquitoes had died in the infected and uninfected groups respectively, with mortality rates of 31.31% (31/99) and 18.07% (15/83), respectively, indicating a higher mortality rate in the infected group. The log-rank test showed that the survival curve of the infected group of Aedes albopictus was lower than that of the uninfected group (χ2=4.121 9, P<0.05). The infection rate of Aedes albopictus detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR was 77.94% (53/68). Conclusion　TypeⅡdengue virus infection can reduce the survival rate of Aedes albopictus.

Objective To investigate clinical efficacy of simultaneous integrate boost for glioblastoma with intensity?modulated radiotherapy ( SIB?IMRT). Methods A total of 46 patients with glioblastoma who underwents SIB?IMRT from January 2013 to August 2014,were retrospectively analyzed. Toxicity after completion of SIB?IMRT were assessed. Kaplan?Meier method was used to analyze survival and progression?free survival. Multivariate analyses were performed to determine significant prognostic factors. Results There was no patients delayed by more than grade 3 radiation toxicity. The median overall survival and 1?year survival rates was 69 weeks and 73%,respectively. The progression free survival and 1?year progression?free survival rate were 43 weeks and 39%,respectively. The pattern of failure was identical (9 Local, 7 distant and 0 marginal recurrence). Multivariate analyses show that temozolomide concurrent chemoradiotherapy were independent factors correlated to prognosis. Conclusions The preliminary results demonstrate that SIB?IMRT for glioblastoma appear to be effective and safe. With the limted number of patients in this group,SIB?IMRT could be used for treating glioblastoma with caution,which deserves further study.

This study was aimed to discuss the anti-inflammatory and immunization properties ofRe-Du-Ning (RDN) injection in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) with phlegm-heat stagnated in the lung syndrome. A total of 110 in-patients were collected from January 2012 to December 2013. Cases were randomly divided into the treatment group (basic treatment plan + 20 ml RDN injection + 250 mL of 5% GS injection, once a day, intravenous injection) and the control group (basic treatment plan + 20 ml of 0.9% NS injection + 250 mL of 5% GS injection, once a day, intravenous injection), with 55 cases in each group. The treatment course was 14 days. Observations were made on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, clinical effect, blood routine examination, blood gas analysis and T lymphocyte subgroups before and after the treatment in both groups. The results showed that in the aspects of TCM symptom score and clinical effect, the posttreatment TCM symptom score and total integration in the treatment group were obviously improved compared to the control group except for shortness of breath, dry mouth and thirsty, flushing (P < 0.05). The total effective rate was obviously better than that of the control group. In the aspect of anti-inflammation, the total white blood cell (WBC) count and the normal neutrophil percentage of both pretreatment and posttreatment in the treatment group were obviously decreased compared to pretreatment (P < 0.05). However, there were no statistical differences on WBC count and normal neutrophil percentage compared to posttreatment in the control group. In the aspect of blood gas analysis, the posttreatment PaCO2 and PaO2 of the treatment group were obviously better than the control group (P < 0.05). In the aspect of immune regulation, the posttreatment T lymphocyte subgroups CD3+ and CD4+ of the treatment group were higher than the control group. The expression inhibition / cytotoxic lymphocyte (CD8+) was obviously lower than the control group (P < 0.05). The CD4+ / CD8+ was back to the normal reference level. It was concluded that in the treatment of AECOPD with phlegm-heat stagnated in the lung syndrome, on the basis of western medicine symptomatic treatment plan, RDN injection was assisted to clear heat, relieve toxin and remove phlegm. It can obviously improve patient’s clinical symptoms and increase the clinical therapeutic effects. The treatment was especially targeted to infection-induced respiratory failure patients combined low immunity with possible identified therapeutic effects.
