Observations were carricd out on the changes in the fecundity and the survival rate of Anopheles sinensis infected with microfilariae of Erugia malayi through an artificial membrane and maintained at 25.5?1℃ and R. H. 75-85%。Analysis of the resultant data showed that there was a significant dccrcase in egg-production in the mosquitoes infected with a density of microfilariae over 5.42mf/?l during the first gonotrophic cycle and over 2.69mf/?l during the second, with a tenden-cy of continuous decrease following the increase in microfilarial density. The results were discussed in terms of the hypothesis of "nutritional competition" suggested by Javadian et al in 1974.Four groups of mosquitoes infected with various dcnsitics of microfilariae were observed on their survival rates after exposure to microfilariae. The infected mosquitoes showed lower survival rate as compared with the control group, exhibiting a continuous decrease in the survival rate of Infected mosquitocs with the increase in microfilarial dcnsities in the blood meal engorged. This continuous change was more significant during the lst-12th day post-exposure.

ObjectiveTo identify the main problems and provide information for making plans on medical resources allocation by analyzing the dynamic trends of medical resources allocation and service efficiency in Guangzhou after reform and opening-up. MethodsDescriptive analysis, Ascend and Descend Trends Test and ratio analysis were used to compare medical resource allocation and utilization efficiency at different development phases. ResultsCurrently health resources per capita in Guangzhou are close to those in developed countries or areas, but relative shortage derived from demand-driven increase still exists. There is a central tendency toward big comprehensive hospitals, the quality of medical resources is rather low, and efficiency of medical services tends to descend. ConclusionIt showed that when the government making plans on medical resources allocation, strict entry regulation should be reinforced, the standard of medical resource quality should be improved, appropriate space should be left for further development. Medical resources should be directed to reallocate to communities and rural areas in a right way, medical service efficiency and accessibility should be improved.

Objective To isolate, clone and identify the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) fragment from the mosquito, Aedes albopictus, in relation to exploring mechanism of insecticide resistance. \ Methods\ The genome DNA extracted from the mosquito was used for degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the two pairs of oligonucleotides encoding the highly conserved protein sequences were used as primers. The reaction products were cloned to T\|vector and transfected into E\^coli JM 109. The replicative form DNA of recombinant vector extracted from E\^coli JM 109 through alkalilysis was identified by the methods of digestion with EcoRⅠand SalⅠ and PCR. \ Results\ The products of degenerate primers polymerase chain reaction were obtained and the identified clone belongs to the AChE fragment of the mosquito.\ Conclusion\ The clone was identified as the AChE fragment of Aedes albopictus.
