Objective To investigate intra and inter species molecular variations and phylogeny of the five members of the Minimus Group of Anopheles subgenus Cellia in China: An. aconitus, An.varuna, An.jeyporiensis, An.minimus A and An.minimus C, and to report the DNA sequence divergence among these species at a mitochondrial locus (cytochrome oxidase II). Methods Single mosquito′s legs were digested to extract DNA. COII gene was amplified, sequenced and analysed; and the phylogenetic tree of members of An.minimus group was reconstructed by maximum likelihood method (DNAML). Results and Conclusion The data confirmed the presence of two cryptic species, A and C, within An.minimus complex in the research localities; and two species differed by 2.3% in the COII sequences owing to 16 nucleotide substitutions. There was less variation between the two species than other members of the Minimus Group.

Objective To explore the application of seasonal time series ARIMA model in prediction of malaria incidence in an unstable malaria area. Methods SPSS13.0 software was used to construct the ARIMA model based on the monthly malaria incidence of Huaiyuan and Tongbai counties in Huaihe River Valley, from Jan. 1998 to Dec. 2005, with consideration of residual un-correlation and concision. Akaike′s information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) were used to confirm the fitness of model. The constructed model was then applied to predict the monthly malaria incidence in 2006 and the incidence from ARIMA model was compared with the actual incidence, so as to evaluate the model′s validity. Malaria incidence of 2007 was predicted by ARIMA model based on malaria incidence from 1998 to 2006. Results Statistics assisted estimation of the significance of the fitted autoregressive and seasonal moving average coefficients (AR1=0.512, SMA1=0.609, P

Objective To investigate the effects of macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) combined with molecule 4-1BB L on the tumorigenicity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vivo. Methods Mouse MIP-1α (mMIP-1α) expressed Hepa 1-6 cells were transfected with m4-1BBL recombinant retrovirus, the anti-histidinol cells clones were selected and amplified. The expression of m4-1BB L was confirmed by flow cytometry. The growth curve of Hepa 1-6 cells transfected with mMIP-1α and m4-1BBL alone or together was drawn and compared. C57B/L Mice were randomly divided into 7 groups, 9 mice in each group, injected with mMIP-1α+m4-1BB L Hepa 1-6 cells, m4-1BB L Hepa 1-6 cells, mMIP-1α Hepa 1-6 cells, Hepa 1-6 cells, pLXSHD Hepa 1-6 cells or PBS respectively. The tumorigenicity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and the mice survival rate were compared between each groups. Results Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α+m4-1BB L cells which expressed both mMIP-1α and m4-1BB L were successfully established. The expression of mMIP-1α and m4-1BB L alone or together did not affect the growth curve of Hepa 1-6 cells. Observed for 5 weeks, no tumor developed in Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α+m4-1BB L injected mice. The tumorigenicity of Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α+m4-1BB L was lower than that of Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α or Hepa 1-6 m4-1BB L in vivo. The survival rate of Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α+m4-1BBL injected mice(9/9) was higher than that of Hepa 1-6 m4-1BB L injected mice (6/9)or Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α injected mice (1/9). Conclusion Chemokine MIP-1α combined with costimulatory 4-1BB L lowered the tumorigenicity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vivo, and prolonged the mice survival period.

Objective: To investigate the effects of andrographolide on extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling pathway and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages. Methods: LPS-activated mouse peritoneal macrophages were cultured in media with different concentrations of andrographolide. Cytotoxicity of andrographolide was detected by cell counting kit-8. The macrophages were lysed, and then expressions of phosphorylated ERK1/2, JNK and p38 and nuclear factor-κB inhibitor (IκBα) protein were detected by Western blotting and TNF-α mRNA expression was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Supernatants of the macrophages were used to detect content of TNF-α protein by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Andrographolide at 1-100 μg/mL showed no cytotoxicity on LPS-activated mouse peritoneal macrophages. Andrographolide inhibited ERK1/2 phosphorylation in LPS-activated murine peritoneal macrophages, which was concentration-dependent (P<0.01). Andrographolide at 1-25 μg/mL had no effects on phosphorylation levels of JNK and p38 and IκBα degradation in LPS-stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages. In activated macrophages, TNF-α expression was inhibited by 12 μg/mL andrographolide and 20 μmol/L PD98059 (inhibitor of ERK1/2 signaling pathway) at both mRNA expression and protein secretion levels. Conclusion: In LPS-activated macrophages, andrographolide may inhibit the expression of TNF-α by inhibiting ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

Objective To establish three methods of DNA extraction from Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts and test by PCR. Methods After three freeze-thaw cycles, three kinds of templates were extracted from the oocysts by Chelex-100, phenol/chloroform or genomic DNA purification system kit, and used for PCR detection. According to the sequence of a C.parvum gene (L16996), a pair of primers was designed and synthesized, and used for PCR. The sensitivity of the template by Chelex-100 method was also tested by PCR. Results One 446 bp PCR product was observed by agarose gel electrophoresis for all three kinds of templates. The PCR sensitivity by Chelex-100 extracted DNA reached for detection of a specimen containing only 1/2 oocyst. Conclusion The three kinds of extraction can all be served as templates for PCR detection of C.parvum oocysts, while Chelex-100 method is simpler, quicker and more reliable for DNA extraction of the parasite.

Objective To isolate and identify Cryptosporidium oocysts from feces of naturally infected cow. Methods Fecal samples were collected from Cryptosporidium infected cows confirmed by modified acid-fast staining method. Oocysts were isolated and purified with Sheather sucrose density gradient centrifugation technique. Genomic DNA was isolated with Chelex-100. Both primers were designed to amplify Cryptosporidium small subunit ribosome RNA gene (SSU rRNA) and Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein gene (COWP), respectively. The PCR products were cloned into pGEM-T and pGEM-T Easy vector and sequenced subsequently. Homology and phylogeny were analyzed with BLASTn and MEGA software. Results The results suggested that the size of oocysts was (7.4?0.32)?m by(5.4?0.21)?m and the ratio of length and width was 1.37?0.07 (n=20). BLASTn revealed that the identity of SSU rRNA and COWP gene of Cryptosporidium isolated from cow to the counterparts of C.andersoni was 100% and 99% respectively. Phylogenetic reconstruction placed the isolated Cryptosporidium within the C.andersoni clade based on the sequence of SSU rRNA and COWP gene. Conclusion What isolated from naturally infected cow feces has been identified as C. andersoni.
