Objective:The complete genome sequence characteristics of Quang Binh virus (QBV) and Manglie virus (MaV) isolated from mosquitoes in Daluo Town, Menghai county.Methods:Mosquitoes collected in Daluo Town, Menghai county in July 2012 were used for virus isolation. The nucleic acid was extracted from the supernatant of Aedes albopictus cell line (C6/36) showing cytopathic effect (CPE) positivity, and was sent to a company for sequencing after library construction. Phylogenetic and nucleotide/amino acid sequence similarity analysis was performed using DNAStar, Maff, and other softwares.Results:RNA libraries of strains BNDL1205 and BNDL1227 yielded 67 336 692 and 61 259 266 qualified gene sequences (reads) respectively. After assembly and alignment, sequences of lengths 10 865 bp and 10 864 bp were obtained. Sequence analysis indicated that they belong to QBV, with strains BNDL1205 and BNDL1227 clustering with QBV (strain VN180) isolated from Vietnam on the same evolutionary branch, sharing nucleotide similarity of 84.2% and 84.1%, and amino acid similarity of 94.6% and 94.4% respectively. RNA library of strain BNDL1223 yielded 48 622 610 qualified reads. After assembly and alignment, three gene fragments (Contigs) matched MaV. Further merging using SeqMan produced a complete nucleotide sequence of 9 219 bp. Analysis revealed that strain BNDL1223 is closely related to MaV isolated in Yunnan in 2018, sharing nucleotide similarity of 97.8% and amino acid similarity of 99.2%.Conclusions:During the investigation of arboviruses in mosquitoes in Daluo Town, Menghai county, three strains of viruses were identified: 2 strains of QBV and 1 strain of MaV. Local mosquitoes play a significant role in the transmission of QBV and MaV, necessitating enhanced monitoring and detection of local vector mosquitoes.

OBJECTIVE:
To study whether the Bmi-1 gene can be a biomarker for analysis of clinical risk stratification and prognosis of ALL patients.
METHODS:
The expression level of Bmi-1 gene in bone marrow samples from 127 cases of newly diagnosed ALL was detected by qRT-PCR, at the same time the expression level of Bmi-1 protein in bone marrow samples from above-mentioned cases was detected by Western blot. The collected samples were divided into 3 groups: high, intermediate and low risk according to clinical risk stratfication, the relationship between Bmi-1 expression and risk grade of ALL patients was analyzed; at the same time the collected samples were divided into 2 groups: prednisone good response (PGR) and prednisone poor respouse (PPR) according to the sensitivity of prednison test, and the sensitivily to prednisone in 2 groups was compared; moreover, the collected samples were divided into 2 groups: high level and low level according to median of Bmi-1 level, and the relation of Bmi-1 level with prognosis of patients was analyzed by using the Kaplan-Meier method.
RESULTS:
The expression level of Bmi-1 in low risk group was lowest, while that in high risk group was highest, however that in intermediat risk group was between the low and high risk groups, statistical analysis showed significant difference (P<0.05). The expression level of Bmi-1 in PPR group was significantly higher than that in PGR group (P<0.001). The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the RFS rate in Bmi-1 high expression group was significantly lower than that in Bmi-1 low expression group (73.0% vs 90.6%) (P<0.001).
CONCLUSION
The Bmi-1 can be used as a molecular marker for the analysis of chinical risk and prognosis of pediatric ALL.
