Objective To elucidate the molecular basis on the differences of infectivity in infected cells between Sindbis virus(SINV:YN87448 virus)and Sindbis like virus(SINLV:XJ-160 virus).Methods Compare the E(glycoprotein)gene sequence and secondary structure of YN87448 virus and XJ-160 virus by bioinformatics analysis.Analyze the contribution of E gene to the biological differences between SINV and SINLV by constructing recombinant virus.Results By bioinformatics analysis,YN87448 virus and XJ-160 virus have the same genomic structure,which has 11 717 nt and 11 626 nt respectively.There are 82 amino acid differences between E gene of these two viruses,and showed scattered distribution.The main peak is basically the same for the hydrophobic of the E gene protein,but in some region existing small differences.The recombinant virus which exchanged the E gene of XJ-160 virus with YN87448 virus totally showed the biological character of YN87448 virus,either in the showing time of CPE,plaque forming time and plaque diameter,or in expression of functional proteins.Conclusion E gene plays a major role in the differences of infectivity in infected cells between SINV and SINLV,this result provide the molecular biological evidences for elucidating the biological differences between SINV and SINLV.

Objective To investigate the effect of xenon intervention on delayed neuropsychologic sequelae (DNS)in acute carbon monoxide(CO)poisoning.Method Adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into sustained group,early intervention group,and control group.CO(150 ml/kg)was infused by intraperitoneal injection to produce DNS model.In sustained intervention group(S-group),xenon(150 ml/kg/d)was infilsed by intraperitoneal injection for 2 weeks;in control group(C-group),xenon was replaced by equal volume air;and in early intervention group(E-tvoup),xenon(150 ml/kg/d)was,employed in the first 3 days and air(150 ml/kg/d)was substituted for xenon in the following days until 2 weeks after CO poisoning.Morris maze test was used to evaluate the intelligence of rats.The long-term potentiation(LTP)of hippocampus Was detected by neuroelectricity recording.The apoptosis rates in brain was detected by TUNEL staining.The data were expressed as(x±s)and analyzed with student's test and analysis of variance.A P value less than 0.05 indicated statisfical significance.Results After exposure to CO,poisoned rats showed intelligence decline,demyeliation ofwater matler and cell apoptosis increased,which were consistent with DNS.In S-group and E-group,the rates of DNS and apoptosis were significantly lower than those in C-group,whereas the rote of LTP in S-group and E-group Was significantly higher than those in C-group.Conclusions Early xenon intervention can effectively decrease the rates of DNS occurred after acute CO poisoning.

Objective To explore the relationship between insluin resistance(IR)and plasma fibrinogen, blood lipids levels in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GMD).Methods Totally 127cases pregnant women in their 24 -28 gestational weeks were divided into GDM group(n =37),gestational impaired glucose tolerance test (GIGT)group(n =30)and normal glucose tolerance(NGT)group(n =60)based on the American Diabetes Associ-ation(ADA)2009 GDMdiagnostic standards.All selected cases's height,weight,fasting blood glucose (FBG),fasting insulin (FIN),blood lipids and fibrinogen(FIB)level were tested,and their body mass index(BMI)and IR index (HOMA -IR)were calculated.Results During the mid -trimester,the levels of BMI,FIB,HOMA -IR,FBG,FIN, triglyceride (TG),cholesterol(TC),low density lipoprotein -cholesterol (LDL -C)in the GDM group were signifi-cantly higher than the GIGT and NGT groups.However,high density lipoprotein -cholesterol (HDL -C)was signifi-cantly lower (F =69.29,98.15,70.32、141.43、61.92,106.06,157.06,90.59,25.25,all P <0.01).FIB was sig-nificantly positively correlated with BMI,FBG,FIN,HOMA -IR,TC,TG,LDL - C (r =0.441,0.682,0.506, 0.599,0.493,0.591,0.633,all P <0.01 ),and negatively correlated with HDL -C(r =-0.419,P <0.01 ).Multiple stepwise regression analysis indicated that BMI,LDL -C,FBG and TG were independent risk factors affect-ing FIB(t =7.683,2.678,3.184,3.844,all P <0.01);FIB,BMI,FBG,FIN and TC were independent risk factors influencing HOMA -IR(t =68.784,3.201,29.702,58.100,2.904,all P <0.01).Conclusion Pregnant women have IR and blood lipid disorders during the mid -trimester,the overexpression of FIB is closely related to it.

Objective To investigate whether the characteristics of pathogens mediated by Wolbachia can interfere with Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) replication and explore the regulatory role of Wolbachia on JEV replication transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. Methods Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA-FISH) were used to detect Wolbachia density in Aa23 (naturally infected with Wolbachia) Aedes albopictus cell and negative control Aa23T Aedes albopictus cells (Wolbachia infection was removed by tetracycline treatment). The plaque assay was conducted to measure the viral titers and cytopathic effect (CPE) in Aa23T and Aa23 cells on days 1 to 8 after JEV (P3 strain) infection. Results qPCR and RNA-FISH results consistently showed that the symbiosis of Wolbachia was negative in Aa23T cell. In Aa23 cells, the copy number of the WSP gene of Wolbachia and the fluorescence signal intensity targeting Wolbachia 16S rDNA increased with cell growth time. In response to JEV infection, Wolbachia prolonged the CPE in viral infected Aa23 cells, which compared to infected Aa23T cells. The plaque assay result has obviously showed that JEV titer in Aa23 cells (106 PFU/mL) was significantly lower than that in Aa23T control cells (108 PFU/mL). Conclusions Wolbachia significantly delays CPE of JEV on cells and inhibits JEV replication in A. albopictus cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that Wolbachia strongly inhibits JEV infection in mosquito cells. It revealed the role of Wolbachia on inhibition of the viruses that transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. In particular, it provides important experimental data and theoretical basis for application of Wolbachia-based mosquito control technology in prevention and control of JEV.

Abstract: More than 300 mosquito-borne arboviruses have been found worldwide, among which Dengue virus, Chikungunya virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, West Nile virus, and Zika virus are circulating around the world, causing a huge public health burden and arousing widespread concern in the whole society. China's vast territory and complex geographical landscapes are suitable for the reproduction of various mosquito-borne arboviruses, so the species and geographical distribution of mosquito-borne arboviruses in China have attracted much attention. Since the 1980s, 38 mosquito-borne arboviruses belonging to nine families, including Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Togaviridae, and Reoviridae, have been isolated and identified from more than 1 million mosquitoes and human and animal specimens collected across China by means of tissue cell culture and animal inoculation. The results of field and laboratory tests indicate the existence of various mosquito-borne arboviral diseases in China, including Japanese encephalitis, Dengue fever, West Nile encephalitis, and febrile diseases caused by Tahyna virus infection. This study summarizes the species and geographical distribution of mosquito-borne arboviruses, mosquito-borne arboviruses, and their vectors, and mosquito-borne arboviral infectious diseases in China, providing technical support for the control and prevention of mosquito-borne arbovirus and their corresponding diseases, endemic management, disease early warning and prediction. Joint prevention and control of arboviral diseases in Asia and even the world is also of long-term and practical significance.

Objective To identify the Banna viruses isolated in northwestern part of Yunnan prov-ince in order to make the difference clear between the isolates and other Banna viruses isolated in other parts of Yunnan. Methods Three isolates of Banna vires isolated in 2005 and 2006 were identified by morpholo-gy, RNA-PAGE profile and molecular biologic method. Nueleotide and amino acid sequences of segment 12 of the 3 isolates were sequenced and analyzed. Results Three Banna viruses were isolated from mosquitoes collected in northwestern part of Yunnan during 2005 and 2006. Electron microscopy study showed that they are spherical with a diameter of 70 nm, no envelope but two layers of eapsid. It was found that the genome of the 3 isolates composes of 12 segments presenting band profile of 6-6 in RNA-PAGE. Nueleotide acid se-quence analysis about segment 12 showed that the identity was 99% between the 3 new isolates, 98% and 90% between the 3 isolates and the strains isolated in other parts of Yunnan, China and Indonesia, respec-tively. Phylogenetie analysis based on segment 12 gene showed that 3 new isolates clnstered in the same branch with the viruses isolated in other parts of Yunnan. The same difference of amino acids was found between Banna viruses isolated in China and Indonesia strains in the analysis of segment 12. Conclusion Banna virus strains were firstly isolated from mosquitoes collected in northwestern part of Yunnan province. Nueleotide acid sequence analysis of the 3 new isolates showed higher identity with strains isolated in other parts of Yunnan.

Arboviruses represent a serious problem to public health and agriculture worldwide.Fast,accurate identification of the viral agents of arbovirus-associated disease is essential for epidemiological surveillance and laboratory investigation.We developed a cost-effective,rapid,and highly sensitive one-step triplex RT-PCR enzyme hybridizationassay for simultaneous detections of Japanese Encephallitis virus (JEV,Flaviviridae)Getah virus (GETV,Togaviridae),and Tahyna virus (TAHV,Bunyaviridae) using three pairs of primers to amplify three target sequences in one RT-PCR reaction.The analytical sensitivity of this assay was 1 PFU/mL for JEV,10PFU/mL for GETV,and 10 PFU/mL for TAHV.This assay is significantly more rapid and less expensive than the traditional serological detection and single RT-PCR reaction methods.When “triplex RT-PCR enzyme hybridization” was applied to 29 cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)samples that were JEV-positive by normal RT-PCR assay,all samples were strongly positive for JEV,but negative for GETV and TAHV,demonstrating a good sensitivity,specificity,and performance at CSF specimen detection.

Objective To discuss the relations between optimal surgical margin and local recurrence and the impact of preserving segment of sacral nerve root on neural functions based on the clinical and pathological features of giant cell tumor(GCT).Methods From August 1996 to August 2008,48 patients with sacral GCT undergoing tumor resection were respectively analyzed,including 20 males and 28 females with an average of 34.7 years(range,19-74).The tumors were located in S1-S5 in 4 patients,S1-S4 in 7,S1-S3 in 15,S1,2 in 12,S2-S5 in 8,and S3-S5 in 2.Surgical methods included single posterior approach in 29 cases,combined anterior-posterior approach in 19.The surgical margins adopted were en-bloc in 2 patients,marginal in 15,marginal and curettage in 25,and curettage in 9.Results Forty-one of 48 cases were successfully followed up,the average time was 43.5 months(range,18-115).The average blood loss during surgery was 3560 ml(range,550-12 000).Benign lung metastasis occurred in one case 6 years after operation,2 patients died of malignant transformation.Local recurrence occurred in 15 cases.The recurrence rates in patients with en-bloc resection,marginal resection,marginal resection combined with curettage,and curettage were 0,18.2%,40.9%,66.7%,respectively.The recurrence rate of marginal group was significantly lower than that of the curettage group.Of 27 cases with bilateral S3 nerve root preservation,2 sufiered from urine or fetal dysfunction.with an incidence rate of 7.4%.While 4 of 12 patients with unilateral S3 nerve root preservation suffered from sphincter disturbance,with an incidence rate of 33.3%.The significant difference between groups in nerve root preservation was confirmed.Conclusion Optimal surgical margin for sacral GCT is of great importance to local control of tumor recurrence,the surgical procedure of sacral GCT should aim at the marginal resection on the basis of rational sacral nerve roots preservation;preservation of bilateral S3 nerve roots contributes to the recovery of sphincteral function in most patients.

Objective To document retrospectively long-term quality of life (QOF) and safety of living kidney donors.Methods A total of 219 living-related kidney donors which can be followed up had donated their kidneys between May 2004 and Sap.2011.The renal function,complications and QOF were estimaged.Results Donors included 104 men and 115 women with age from 19 to 66 years.Follow-up period was from 12 to 103 months.No cases died.The mean serum creatinine (Scr) was (84.0± 18.7) μmol/L and creatinine clearance (Ccr) was (1.23 ± 0.37) ml/s over 12 months postoperation.The average Ccr was lower in donors age over 50 years than in younger donors.The kidney function was still abnormal in 3 elder donors at end of the study.Thirty donors had hypertension including 5 newly cases.Microscopic hematuria was found in 4 cases.Hyperlipidemia developed in 3 cases.Mild anemia occurred in 2 cases.Femoral head necrosis occured in 1 case.Majority of 18.26％ donors (40 cases) reported weak healthy feeling (mild impact in 31 cases,moderate impact in 7 cases and severe impact in 2 cases).Thirty-five donors reported mild pain of incision (31 cases occasionally,and 4 cases frequently).Conclusion Living kidney donors have good long-term QOF and safety though there still exist risks of renal impact.Close follow-up is required especially in elderly donors.Compliance of donors needs to be further improved.

Objective To explore the relationship of serum ferritin with insluin resistance(IR)and inci-dence of fatty liver in adults with simple obesity.Methods According to body mass index (BMI),78 adults with simple obesity were divided into three groups,including 34 cases in Ⅰ degree obesity group,30 cases in Ⅱ degree obesity group and 14 cases in Ⅲ degree obesity group,and 35 adults with simple overweight and 67 healthy adults were also enrolled as control group.The height,weight,waistline,hip circumference,incidence of fatty liver,fasting blood glucose (FBG),fasting insulin (FIN),blood lipids and ferritin(SF)level were tested,and the body mass index (BMI),WHR and IR index (HOMA -IR)were calculated.Results When BMI increased,levels of SF,HOMA -IR, FBG,FIN,triglyceride (TG),cholesterol (TC),low density lipoprotein -cholesterol (LDL -C)were gradually increased(F =378.92,12.01,55.50,123.96,90.09,127.65,23.81,all P <0.01).However,high density lipopro-tein -cholesterol (HDL -C)was gradually degraded(F =114.56,P <0.01).The incidence of fatty liver had signifi-cant differences in Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ degree obesity groups((t =24.872,7.885,all P <0.01),and with the degree of obesity increased,the rate of fatty liver increased significantly.SF range interquartile and level in fatty liver group was signifi-cantly greater than the non fatty liver group,the difference was statistically significant (t =22.99,P <0.01).SF was positively correlated with BMI,WRH,FBG,FIN,HOMA -IR,TC,TG,LDL -C (r =0.863,0.719,0.789,0.703, 0.617,0.785,0.717,0.771,all P <0.01),and negatively correlated with HDL -C(r =-0.530,P <0.01).Multi-ple stepwise regression analysis indicated that BMI,FIN,LDL -C,HOMA -IR were independent risk factors affecting SF(t =4.646,2.595,-5.073,6.666,all P <0.01).SF,BMI,FBG,FIN,LDL -C were independent risk factors influencing HOMA -IR(t =6.535,3.254,18.827,61.227,2.154,all P <0.05).Conclusion Simple obesity adults had obvious blood lipid disorders and IR,easy to complicated with fatty liver,the incidence of fatty liver associ-ated with severity of obesity,the overexpression of SF is closely related to it.
