This paper introduces the new research achievement and progress of electro-physiology in olfaction and gustation. Classical implements such as patch-clamp or glass pipette are not appropriate in the dynamic detection of cellular signal transportation. In view of this, we have analyzed the feasibilities and challenges of olfactory or gustatory cell-based biosensors such as field effect transistor (FET) and light addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS). Finally we present the research work carried our in out lab and a future prospective on the development in this field.

Objective:To systematically analyze the clinical features of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of SFTS.Methods:Relevant studies of SFTS from six databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, Chongqing VIP, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase from January 2009 to May 2019 were systematically searched and identified. The literatures were screened and the data of patients′ epidemiology, clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations and prognosis were obtained. Revman 5.2 software was used for meta analysis.Results:Sixty-eight Chinese literatures and fourteen English literatures encompassing 6 780 patients with SFTS were included in the final analysis. Of these patients, 845 cases (12.46%) died. SFTS mostly occurred in mountainous and hilly areas, and farmers (3 637 cases) were the usual victims. The onset season was mostly in summer and the peak was from May to August each year. There were 1 434 patients had a clear history of tick bites, and 21 cases were human-to-human transmitted.There were 6 071 cases (89.54%) presented with fever, 5 407 cases (79.75%) presented with fatigue, 3 140 cases (46.31%) presented with muscle soreness, and 2 300 cases (33.92%) presented with chills.Using random effects model for meta analysis, the levels of creatine kinase (CK) (mean difference ( MD)=500.40, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 380.51-620.28, P<0.01) and lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH)( MD=442.81, 95% CI 152.85-732.78, P=0.003) in severe patients were both higher than those in mild patients, and the difference were both statistically significant. The risk of death increased in patients aged>60 years( MD=8.19, 95% CI 4.03-12.36, P<0.01). The levels of CK( MD=530.92, 95% CI 29.27-1 032.56, P=0.040), LDH( MD=609.28, 95% CI 80.25-1 138.31, P=0.020), urea nitrogen ( MD=4.67, 95% CI 3.05-6.30, P<0.01) and creatinine ( MD=43.05, 95% CI 23.49-62.62, P<0.01) of patients in the death group were all higher than those in the survival group. The differences were all statistically significant. Conclusions:During the course of SFTS, the patients may show impaired blood system, heart, liver and kidney functions with high mortality. Clinicians should timely monitor the changes of blood routine, myocardial enzyme spectrum, liver and kidney functions and other indicators, so as to find cardiovascular and other system complications as early as possible. Timely treatment could not only reduce liver, heart and other organ injuries, but also reduce mortality.

This study deeply analyzes the common problems of three military medical universities in the management of undergraduate extracurricular scientific research, such as lack of communication means, limited online resources, backward laboratory opening and low utilization rate of equipment. We have built a cloud platform management system for undergraduate extracurricular scientific research. This system firstly sets up a teaching resources storage module including videos, PPTs, documents, pictures, electronic materials, question bank, etc. Then four subsystems for different roles of students, mentors, experimental teaching staff and administrators are constructed. Finally, this system realizes independent experiments by students, real-time evaluation by mentors, instrument sharing and efficient management through the seamless connection with the user terminal equipment. And the study also makes evaluation on the present usage.
