Dengue is the most wide-spread arthropod-borne viral disease of humans in the tropic and sub-tropic regions.In this study,genomic sequences of more than 3 000 dengue viruses available in the GenBank were aligned and analyzed by sero type.According to phylogenetic trees generated by the minimum evolution method of MEGA5.0,dengue viruses were divided into 4-6 genotypes within the four serotypes,respectively.Meanwhile,it was indicated that the distribution of most genotypes was associated with geographic origins of dengue viruses.Probable origins for most of the 39 strains from China with genomic sequences were deduced from relevant ancestral strains in the context of ME trees.These results revealed that the genotype distribution of dengue viruses was geographic origin-specific at genomic level,and that diverse introduction sources were attributed to dengue outbreaks in China.

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is an important encephalitis virus in Asia, currently both Genotype I (G1) and Genotype III (G3) strains are circulating in China, while JEV isolates from Fujian belonged to G3. In this report, five clinical JEV strains were isolated from specimens of suspected JE patients in Fujian, 2005-2008. Phylogenetic analysis of partial C/PrM and full-length E genes revealed these five strains also belonged to G3. Meanwhile, homogeneity analysis indicated that 2005-2008 isolates were closely related to strains from several years ago, rather than to those strains from 1950s. Minor variations were identified at several amino acid residues of the envelope protein, however, none of these mutations was associated with pathogenicity of JEV. These data contribute to continuous tracking of the geographic evolution of JEV over a long period.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of virtual navigation contrast enhanced sonography in accurately location of small liver tumors which cannot be detected by conventional sonography during microwave ablation therapy. Methods Twenty-three patients with 28 small liver tumors,which could not be detected by conventional sonography but CT/MRI,underwent microwave ablation with virtual navigation contrast enhanced sonography from January 2015 to March 2017 at Nanfang Hospital. After fusion of images from both sonography and CT/MRI,small liver tumors were ablated under the real-time monitoring of navigated sonography. Virtual navigation contrast enhanced sonography was also utilized to evaluate the efficacy of ablation after the ablation.All patients underwent CT/MRI examination at one month post-ablation to evaluate the efficacy of ablation. Results Virtual navigation system successfully provided image fusion for all patients and all lesions(image fusion efficacy was 100%). All patients underwent virtual navigation contrast enhanced sonography monitored microwave ablation.Only one patient received extra ablation since a small proportion of residual tumor checked after the initial ablation. No severe complications occurred in the present study. One-month after ablation,all patients showed complete ablation by further CT/MRI examinations.Conclusion Virtual navigation sonography can precisely target small liver tumors which are undetected by conventional sonography.Evaluation of lesions and ablation efficacy can be performed with the help of virtual navigation contrast enhanced sonography during the ablation period,which have shown satisfactory clinical efficacy.

Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Only two tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been approved as single agents for first-line treatment over the last decade. In 2020, atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab was appro-ved for first-line treatment of advanced HCC. As the first brand-new therapy to surpass sorafenib, atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab showed good safety and life quality in patients. The authors introduced the diagnosis and treatment of a China Liver Cancer Staging Ⅲb HCC patient receiving atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab, in order to provide references for patient management.
