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 investigate the efficacy of transverse insertion of thick needles into the Du meridian in treating rat ischemic facial paralysis and preliminarily explore the possible mechanism by which it produces a therapeutic effect. Methods Sixty Wistar rats were randomly allocated to groups A (transverse insertion of thick needles), B (basic Western drugs), C (blank control) and D (sham operation), 15 rats each. A rat model of ischemic facial paralysis was made using a modified vascular occlusion method in all the rats. Facial nerve deficits were scored in every group of rats during treatment. At 1 day after model making, group A was treated by transverse insertion into point Shendao and 4-hour retention of needle, once daily, for a total of 14 days; group B was treated by an oral gavage of prednisone and intraperitoneal injection of vitamine B12, once daily, for a total of 14 days. Groups C and D were not treated. In 4 rats randomly chosen at 3, 7 or 14 days after model making, facial nerve concomitant intrinsic vascular tissue HIF-1αprotein was measured by an immunohistochemical method; serum NO, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; serum ET content, by radioimmunoassay.Results After 7 days of treatment, the neurological deficit score increased gradually in groups A and B and there was a statistically significant difference compared with after model making in the two groups (P<0.01). After 7 days of treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in the neurological deficit score in groups A and B compared with groups C and D (P<0.05) and between groups C and D (P<0.05). After 14 days of treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in the neurological deficit score between group A or B and group C (P<0.05) and between group B or C and group D (P<0.05). In group A, there was a statistically significant difference in the neurological deficit score after 14 days of treatment compared with after 7 days of treatment (P<0.05). After 3, 7 and 14 days of treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in HIF-1αMOD value in groups A , B and C compared with group D (P<0.01). After 3 and 7 days of treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in HIF-1αMOD value between group A or B and group C (P<0.05). In groups A and B, there was a statistically significant difference in HIF-1αMOD value after 3 and 14 days of treatment compared with after 7 days of treatment (P<0.05). After 3 and 7 days of treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in serum NO content between group A or B and group D (P<0.01). In groups A and B, there was a statistically significant difference in serum NO content after 7 days of treatment compared with after 3 days of treatment (P<0.05). After 3 and 7 days of treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in serum ET content in groups A , B and C compared with group D (P<0.05). In groups A and B, there was a statistically significant difference in serum ET content after 7 days of treatment compared with after 3 days of treatment (P<0.05).Conclusions Transverse insertion of thick needles into the Du meridian can effectively promote rat’s recovery from ischemic facial paralysis. The mechanism by which it produces a therapeutic effect may be regulating the expression of tissue HIF-1α and the NO and ET contents of serum.

Objective To initially understand the condition of quality of life (QOL) and depression as well as the correlation between them in the stroke inpatients. Methods 56 stroke patients from September 2014 to January 2015 in our hospital were included. Their QOL and depression status were evaluated with Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). The de-pression was as the dependent variable, the score of SS-QOL, gender, age, education background, and the duration of stroke were as the inde-pendent variables, and analyzed with Logistic regression. Results Depression correlated with SS-QOL score (OR=0.955, P<0.05), but not with gender, age, education background, and the duration of stroke (P>0.05). Conclusion The depression status correlated with the QOL of stroke patients, but did not with gender, age, education background and the duration of stroke.

This study was aimed to explore the possibility of reducing postoperative inflammatory response and lung injury degree by observing the effect ofTan-Re-Qing(TRQ) Injection on perioperative period of lung cancer patients complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A total of 39 lung cancer cases complicated with COPD (phlegm-heat obstructing the lung) were randomly divided into the tested group of 18 cases and the control group of 21 cases. All patients underwent small incision surgery with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The control group was treated with routine western medicine. TRQ injection was added in the tested group. On the preoperative 1D (T1), 1D after operation (T2), 3D after operation (T3), 7D after operation (T4), serum samples were collected for the determination of serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10. At T1 and T2 time, there were no significant differences on levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 between two groups of patients (P > 0.05). At T3 time, levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 of the tested group were lower than that of the control group with statistical significance (P < 0.05). The level of IL-10 in the tested group was higher than that of the control group with statistical significance (P < 0.05). At T4 time, the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 of the tested group were lower than that of the control group with statistical significance (P < 0.05). The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 of both groups gradually declined at T3 and T4 time, compared with T2 time level with statistical significant (P < 0.05). It was concluded that TRQ injection reduced the releasing of inflammatory cytokines during perioperative period, increased levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine, thereby reducing the degree of inflammatory reaction and relieving lung injury for the protection of lung function of lung cancer patients complicated with COPD.

Purpose To evaluate the value ofintravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging in diagnosis of liver fibrosis staging in rats.Materials and Methods Rabbit models of liver fibrosis at different stages were established.All rabbits were divided into four groups based on the pathological results of fibrosis grading as S1-S4.The 1VIM imagings with 8 b-values (0,50,100,200,300,800,1000,1200 s/mm2) were performed.The diffusion coefficient (D),perfusion-related coefficient (D*),and perfusion fraction (f) were calculated and compared between control (only injection of saline) and S 1 group,S2 and S3 group.Results The D value was significantly lower in S1 group compared with control group (P<0.05),but the D* and f values showed no significant difference between the two groups (both P>0.05).With the progression of liver fibrosis,the D,D* and f value decreased gradually;the D* value showed significant difference between S2 and S3 group (P<0.05),but the D and f values showed no significant differences between the two groups (both P>0.05).Conclusion The D value is useful for differentiation of normal liver and hepatic fibrosis of S1 stage,while the D* is valuable for differentiation of hepatic fibrosis of S2 and S3 stage.However,the f value neither could detect early fibrosis,nor could differentiate hepatic fibrosis staging.IVIM imaging provides a noninvasive method for early and accurate staging of liver fibrosis,which may be of great help in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective: Based on coronary artery calciifcation (CAC) distribution in the rural population of Yunnan province, we further explored the relationship between coronary artery calciifcation score (CACS) and the pulse pressure difference (PPD).
Methods: A randomly stratiifed cluster sampling method was used to study the rural population of Yunnan province and 16-MDCT scan was performed in 212 subjects for evaluating their CAC and calculating CACS. The subjects were divided into 2 sets of groups according to the age and CACS value. Age (51-60) years group,n=108 and Age (61-71) years group,n=104; CACS<1 group,n=162, 1≤CACS<100 group,n=33 and CACS≥100 group,n=17. The PPD level and the relationship between CACS and PPD were compared among different groups.
Results: The average PPD level in Age (61-71) years group was (44.67±13.87) mmHg and in Age (61-71) years group was (50.00±17.44) mmHg,P=0.015, PPD was positively related to age, rs=0.202,P=0.003. The average PPD level in CACS≥100 group, CACS<1 group and 1≤CACS<100 group were (55.22±18.79) mmHg, (46.87±15.46) mmHg and (45.20±15.89) mmHg respectively,P<0.05. The patients with increased PPD level in CACS≥100 group was 47.1%, in CACS<1 group was 17.3% and in 1≤CACS<100 group was 15.2%,P<0.05. Spearman rank correlation analysis indicated that PPD level was positively related to CACS, rs=0.282,P=0.047, with adjusted confounding factors such as age and blood cholesterol level, the PPD was still positively related to CACS.
Conclusion: PPD as a risk factor of coronary artery disease is related to CACS in rural population of Yunnan province, the CACS increased accordingly with the elevated PPD level.
