Objective To investigate the mosquito abundance and their relative species composition within and outside the Rare Birds National Nature Reserve of Yancheng,Jiangsu Province. Methods Sampling was carried out between May and Oct. 2004 at two weeks interval in two foci (the Reserve and nearby residential district) in Sheyang County. Mosquitoes were collected with the modified CDC light trap. Density was calculated,and species were identified. Environmental temperatures,rainfall and relative humidity were monitored during the study. Results A total of 40 912 mosquitoes were captured in the two foci. The sampled mosquitoes were identified as 4 species belonging to three genera (Anopheles sinensis,Culex pipiens pallens,Cx. tritaeniorhynchus,and Armigeres subalbatus). The most abundant mosquito species was An. sinensis and Cx pipiens pallens,which accounted for 97.7% of the whole number. 92% and 8% of the total amount of mosquitoes were collected from the nature reserve and residential district respectively. The most abundant species in the nature reserve and residential district was An. sinensis(60.6%) and Cx. pipiens pallens(76%),respectively. Within the nature reserve,there were two peaks occurred in adult abundance,in mid-and late July and mid-Sept. The abundance of mosquitoes in the area was positively correlated to the temperature (r=0.765,P=0.005). Conclusion The wetland is an ideal breeding place for An. sinensis and Cx pipiens pallens. The peaks of mosquito abundance are in mid-and late July and mid-Sept. It is of importance to carry out surveillance on mosquito vectors with pathogen-transmitting potential.

Objective To explore the non-HLA gene polymorphisms that influence CMV infection after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).Method Non-HLA gene (ACE,CD14,MPO,MBL) single nucleotide polymorphisms were determined by using sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR-SSP) and sequencing in 64 pairs of donors and recipients before HSCT and the differences of non-HLA gene were analysed in CMV positive and negative patients Results The distribution of ACE gene single nucleotide polymorphism was DD (14/128,10.9％),ID (72/128,56.3％),and Ⅱ (42/128,38.8％).The distribution of CD14-159 allele gene single nucleotide polymorphism was CC (18/128,14.1％),CT (81/128,63.3％),and TT (29/128,22.7％).The distribution of MPO-463 allele gene single nucleotide polyrnorphism was G (100)/128,78.1％),A (2/128,1.6％),and GA (26/128,20.3％).The distribution of MBL gene single nucleotide polymorphism was H (28/128,21.9％),HL (73/128,57.0％),L (27/128,21.1％),Y (87/128,68.0％),YX (38/128,29.7％),X (3/128,2.3％),A (94/128,73.4％),AB (32/ 128,25.0％),and B (2/128,1.6％).The allele frequency of ACE,CD14 and MPO shoed no significant differcence between CMV positive and negative patients The gene frequency of MBL-HL was increased in CMV positive group.Conclusion MBL gene single nucleotide polymorphisrns may influence CMV infection after HSCT.

Objective To evaluate set-up errors by megavoltage cone-beam CT in head and neck cancers treated with precision radiotherapy. Methods From April 2007 to March 2008, 22 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (15 patients) ,parotid carcinoma (4 patients) and brain glioma (3 patients) were enrolled, among whom 7 patients underwent three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and 15 received intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The radiation dose was 56. 0 -70.4 Gy in 28 -32 fractions within 6 -7 weeks. Megavoltage cone-beam scan was performed weekly before treatment. The isocenter displacement was calculated by comparing megavoltage cone-beam CT and planning CT in left-right (LR), cranio-caudal (CC), and anterior-posterior (AP) directions. Results Totally 129 sets of megavoltage cone-beam CT images were obtained for 22 patients. The frequency of isocenter shift more than 0. 3 cm,0. 4 cm and 0. 5 cm were 28,15 and 9, respectively. The maximum mean set-up error was found in CC, which was about 0. 1 cm more than that in LR and AP. The frequency of isocenter shift direction was almost identical in LR and CC, which was more frequent (about 75%) in the posterior direction. Conclusions During the course of radiation of brain tumor and head and neck cancer, the enlarging tendency of set-up errors has been found in all the three directions. The isocenter shift in AP was more frequent to the posterior direction.

Objective: To investigate the value of positron emission tomography/computerized tomography(PET/CT) with fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose(18FDG) for gastric carcinoma.Methods: Thirty-two patients(25 males,7 females,aged 31-82 years) suspected of gastric carcinoma underwent whole-body PET/CT after taking in 600 ml of water to distend the gastral cavity.The maximal standard uptake value(SUVmax) of the region of interest(ROI) in PET and the maximum width of the gastric wall in CT were analyzed.Pathological specimens were obtained from all the patients during surgery or gastroscopy.Results: 18FDG PET/CT found gastric carcinoma in 24 of the patients.The rates of positive and negative prediction and the accuracy of PET/CT in the diagnosis of the disease were 92.3%,100% and 93.8%.SUVmax was positively correlated with the maximum width of the gastric wall,but they exhibited no statistically significant differences between the patients with involved lymph nodes and those without.Based on the PET/CT findings,the 24 gastric carcinoma patients were clinically classified as follows: 9 in stage Ⅰ,1 in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,3 in stage Ⅱ,1 in stage Ⅲ and 10 in stage Ⅳ.Conclusion: 18FDG PET/CT is highly valuable for gastric carcinoma in its diagnosis,the evaluation of its biological behavior and determination of its treatment strategies.

OBJECTIVE: The optimal multiplicity of infection (MOI) of the recombinant adenovirus Ad-Rad50-GFP carrying a mutant Rad50 gene expression region on the cell growth of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the viral amplification efficiency of CNE1 cell infected by this adenovirus were studied. METHOD: The biological titer of Ad-Rad50-GFP was measured by end point dilution method. The impact of recombinant adenoviral vector transfection on the growth of CNE1 cells was observed by cell growth curve. Transfection efficacy of recombinant adenoviral vector was observed and calculated through fluorescence microscope. The expression f mutant Rad50 in the Ad-Rad50-GFP transfected CNE1 cells with optimal MOI was detected by Western Blot after transfection. RESULT: The biological titer of Ad-Rad50-GFP was 1.26 x 10¹¹ pfu/ml. CNE1 cell growth was not influenced significantly as they were transfected by recombinant adenoviral vector with MOI less than 50. Transfection efficacy of recombinant adenoviral vector was most salient at 24 hours after transfection, with the high expression of mutant Rad50, and the efficiency still remained about 70% after 72 hours. CONCLUSION Recombinant adenoviral vector Ad-Rad50-GFP could transfect CNE1 cells as well as result in the expression of mutant Rad50 in CNE1 cells effectively. MOI = 50 was the optimal multiplicity of infection of CNE1 cells transfected by recombinant adenoviral vector Ad-Rad50-GFP.
