Objective To isolate and identify the putative Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) re-ceptors from C6/36 and Vero cells. Methods Molecules binding with JEV were isolated from C6/36 and Vero cells by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) approach, identified by mass spectrometry, and detected by Western blot. The location of putative JEV receptor on cells membrane and the binding with JEV were ob-served by laser scanning confocal microscopy (LCM). Results Several molecules binding with JEV were isolated from C6/36 and Vero cells by Co-IP, and only one molecule was identified as heat shock cognate 70 (HSC70) by mass spectrometry. Antibody against HSC'70 was able to detect a 74 ×103 protein isolated by Co-IP from C6/36 and Vero cells membrane in Western blot assays. It was observed by LSCM that when JEV attached on the surface of C6/36 cells, JEV and HSCT0 protein were co-localization. Conclusion 74 x 103 molecular identified as HSC70 protein from C6/36 cells may be JEV receptor.

Objective To investigate how to improve safety of insulin injection in type 2 diabetes patients by“insulin pen”through the rotating insulin weekly abdominal injection card. Method All the inpatients with type 2 diabetes in the Department of 3rd Internal Medicine from January to September, 2013 were enrolled in this study. Insulin Injection Card group was composed of 66 type 2 diabetes patients who were admitted from June to September, while control group was composed of 62 type 2 diabetes patients admitted from January to April. The difference between Insulin Injection Card group and control group was that the former group used the rotating insulin abdominal injection card weekly which was designed by ourselves, while the control group patients did not use the card. Every participant of both groups was evaluated at 2 weeks of treatment by percentage of patients having absence of Safety standard of insulin injection, and at the end of 3 months of treatment by percentage of patients attaining the therapeutic targets and incidence of adverse events. Result Compared with the control group, patients in Insulin Injection Card group had lower proportion of absence of Safety standard for insulin injection. The scores of rotation injection site in the two groups was 0.59±0.14 and 2.67±0.21(P<0.01). The rate of FPG target achievement of patients in Insulin Injection Card group (84.9%) was higher than that of the control group (61.3%)(P<0.01), the rate of HbA1c target achievement of patients in Insulin Injection Card group (78.8%) was higher than that of the control group (56.5%)(P<0.01). Patients in Insulin Injection Card group had lower incidence of local adverse events (1.5%) compared with the control group (12.9%)(P<0.05). Conclusion Use of the rotating insulin weekly abdominal injection card that was designed by the diabetes health management Quality Control Group in our department showed good effect in achieving therapeutic targets (including HBA1C) and decreasing safety standard deficiency of insulin injection and adverse events.
