Abstract: Objective To understand the kdr (knockdown resistance, kdr) gene mutation of the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) of Anopheles sinensis in Yunnan Province. Methods From 2018 to 2019, mosquitoes were collected in Luoping County, Suijiang County, Tengchong City, Yingjiang County, Yuanjiang County and Mengla County in Yunnan Province. The collected mosquitoes were morphologically identified as Anopheles sinensis and genomic DNA was extracted by kits. The DNA templates were sequenced after PCR amplification and the sequencing results were identify as Anopheles sinensis by homology alignment in NCBI. After the ⅡS5 and ⅡS6 fragments of the sodium channels in Anopheles sinensis were amplified and sequenced, the sequencing results were multiple aligned by DNAMAN software, and the mutations were analyzed one by one with BioEdit software to determine the kdr allele types and genotypes, and the frequencies were calculated. Results This survey amplified 287 sequences, and the sequence maps showed that 1014 loci had three alleles, including wild type TTG/L (89.20%), mutant type TTT/F (9.76%) and TCG/S (1.04%). Five genotypes: homozygous wildtype L/L (85.02%), homozygous mutant F/F (6.27%) and S/S (0.35%), heterozygous mutant L/F (6.97%) and L/S (1.39%). The wild type allele TTG/L was the main allele in six sampling sites except Suijiang County. The frequency of wild type allele in Tengchong City was the highest (100.00%). That is, no mutation was detected, while the rest of counties occurred different degrees of mutation at 1014 loci. The frequency of mutant allele in Suijiang County was the highest, reaching 55.68%. Luoping County, Mengla County and Suijiang County had two mutant types. Yingjiang County and Yuanjiang County had one heterozygous mutant L/F. Conclusion Wild type L1014 (TTG/L) is still dominant in most areas of Yunnan Province. The kdr mutation type is mainly L1014F, followed by L1014S, and the mutation frequency is lower than that in central provinces of China.

Alzheimer' s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. AD is an invariably fatal neurodegenerative disorder with no effective treatment. Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) is a model for studying age-related cognitive impairments and also is a good model to study brain aging and one of mouse model of AD. The technique of cDNA microarray can monitor the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously and can be used to study AD with the character of multi-mechanism, multi-targets and multi-pathway. In order to disclose the mechanism of AD and find the drug targets of AD, cDNA microarray containing 3136 cDNAs amplified from the suppression subtracted cDNA library of hippocampus of SAMP8 and SAMR1 was prepared with 16 blocks and 14 x 14 pins, the housekeeping gene beta-actin and G3PDH as inner conference. The background of this microarray was low and unanimous, and dots divided evenly. The conditions of hybridization and washing were optimized during the hybridization of probe and target molecule. After the data of hybridization analysis, the differential expressed cDNAs were sequenced and analyzed by the bioinformatics, and some of genes were quantified by the real time RT-PCR and the reliability of this cDNA microarray were validated. This cDNA microarray may be the good means to select the differential expressed genes and disclose the molecular mechanism of SAMP8's brain aging and AD.

Objective To dynamically investigate the effects of aluminum on the concentration of free intracellular Ca2+([Ca2+]i) and the expression of calcium channels in the hippocampus of rats. Methods Healthy 64 Wistar rats were taken as the experimental objects. And these rats were randomly divided into 16 groups according to their weights, and were instilled with AlCl3 at 0(control),37.3,74.7 and 248.7 mg/kg respectively. The experimental time exposed to AlCl3 was 45,75,120 d, among which the rats were given AlCl3 for 120 d fed normally for 30 d. The hippoeampus were segregated on day 45,75,120 and 150 d and the[Ca2+]i of hippocampus of rats were detected by fluorospectrophotometer. The expression of Ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) mRNA and α1C ubunit of L-type calcium ehannels(L-Ca2+α1C) mRNA were detected by RT-PCR analysis. Results [Ca2+]i was increased by AlCl3 in a dose-and time-dependant manner(F=23.136 and 19.089, P<0.01). There was a synergistic effect between the dose and time in [Ca2+]i (F=2.270, P<0.05). In time of 120,150 days, the [Ca2+]i of rats hippocampus in 37.3[(299.3±48.7), (342.7±35.3)nmol/L], 74.7[(391.2±47.9), (408.1±42.8)nmol/L] and 248.7 mg/kg group[(397.9±55.8), (405.2±22.7)nmol/L] significantly increased compared with control group [(195.1±29.9), (209.1±30.6)nmol/L; P<0.01]. The expression of RyR2 mRNA and L-Ca2+α1C mRNA were increased by AlCl3(F=23.301 and 60.812, P<0.01). The experimental time could lower the expression of L-Ca2+ α1C mRNA (F=6.088, P<0.01), but had no influences on the expression of RyR2 mR NA (F=1.361, P>0.05). There was interaction between the dose of AlCl3 and the time in the expression of L-Ca2+α1C mRNA (F=5.876,P< 0.01). On day 75,120 and 150 of the experiment, the expression of L-Ca2+α1C mRNA in rat hippocampus of 74.7 (1.03±0.16,1.18±0.18,0.92±0.11) and 248.7 mg/kg group(1.89±0.26, 1.25±0.10, 1.07±0.14) also increased compared with control group(0.63±0.09,0.78±0.16,0.69±0.11; P<0.05 or <0.01). On day 45,75, 120 and 150 of the experiment, the expression of RyR2 mRNA in 74.7(0.49±0.06,0.51±0.07,0.57±0.11, 0.47±0.11), 248.7(0.47±0.03,0.52±0.09, 0.70±0.10, 0.78±0.09)mg/kg AlCl3 groups was highly increased compared with control group (0.24±0.07, 0.32±0.04, 0.30±0.06, 0.27±0.06; P<0.05 or<0.01). Conclusion Al increases [Ca2+]i by increasing the expression of the RyR2 mRNA and L-Ca2+α1C mRNA, thus exerts an irreversible neuronal toxicity.
