OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for the detection of the known glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) gene mutation site rs3765467(NT_007592.16,position:39065819),and to evaluate its accuracy and practicability. METHODS:Peripheral venous blood samples of 72 healthy subjects were collected in medical examination center of our hospital during Oct. 2015-Feb. 2016. The whole blood DNA was extracted by column extraction method. After amplified by touch down PCR,high reso-lution melting(HRM)method was adopted to analyze amplified product. Sequencing verification by double stranded chain termina-tion method(Sanger sequencing method)was performed for 38 test samples. The results of 2 methods were compared. RESULTS:The results of mutation scanning showed that there were 39065817 and 39065819 polymorphism sites in amplified segments. Four types of mutations were detected by HRM method [GCG/GCG,GCA/GCG or ACG/GCG,GCA/GCA or ACG/ACG,A(G) CA(G)],but 6 types of mutations was detected by Sanger sequencing method [GCG/GCG,ACG/GCG,ACG/ACG,A(G)CA (G),GCA/GCG,GCA/GCA]. CONCLUSIONS:HRM method can identify GCG/GCG and A(G)CA(G)genotype,but can not identify GCA/GCG and ACG/GCG heterozygous mutation,GCA/GCA and ACG/ACG homozygous mutation. The method is not suitable for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphism for multiple neighboring sites. In the detection of single nucleotide mu-tation,economical and simple method should be selected after comprehensive analysis of sequence.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the composition and diversity of midgut microbial community of Haemaphysalis longicornis infected with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV). Methods The midgut DNA of three group Haemaphysalis longicornis infected with SFTSV was extracted, and the 16S rDNA gene of the sample was sequenced by HiSeq platform. The composition and diversity of endosymbiotic microbial community were clarified by OTU cluster analysis and alpha diversity analysis. Results The midgut microbial clusters of the three groups infected with SFTSV were 143, 113, 163 OTUs respectively; the sparsity curve and abundance grade curve showed that the data had sufficient sequencing depth, and the midgut of Haemaphysalis longicornis infected with SFTSV was rich in microbial composition, but the species distribution was uneven. The analysis of microbial community composition showed that Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria were the main dominant bacteria at the phyla level. At the class level, Gammaproteobacteria, Bacilli, Betaproteobacteria and Actinomycetia were the main dominant bacteria. At the order level, Legionellales, Bacillales, Burkholderiales and Actinomycetales were the main dominant orders. At the family level, Coxiellaceae, Bacillaceae, Moraxellaceae and Rhodococcaceae were the main dominant families. At the genus level, the relative abundance of Coxiella was the highest, followed by Aeribaillus and Azonexus. Alpha diversity analysis showed that the average Shannon index was 139.67, the average Simpson index was 0.48, the average Chao index was 145.06, and the average ACE index was 147.11. Conclusions The species diversity of intestinal microorganisms in Haemaphysalis longicornis infected with SFTSV is rich. The results provide a basis for further exploring the interaction between intestinal microbes of Haemaphysalis longicornis and SFTSV and developing new ideas for the prevention and control of ticks and tick-borne diseases.
