Objective To isolate the Japanese encephalitis virus carried by Culex tritaeniorhynchus in Dongchuan District of Yunnan Province and analyze its molecular characteristics, so as to provide insights into the prevention and control of Japanese encephalitis in Yunnan Province. Methods Mosquito specimens were collected using mosquito-trapping lamps from pig farms in Batang Village and Xiaoxin Village, Dongchuan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province in July 2016, and the mosquito species was identified according to the mosquito morphology. Then, 60 to 100 mosquitoes of each species served as a group and were ground. Baby hamster kidney-21 (BHK-21) cells and Aedes albopictus clone C6/36 cells were used for virus isolation, and positive isolates were identified using flavivirus primers. The positive isolates were amplified using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay with 15 pairs of specific primers covering the full length of the genotype I Japanese encephalitis virus, and DNA sequence assembly was performed using the software SeqMan in the DNASTAR package. The obtained sequences were aligned with the complete sequences of 38 Japanese encephalitis virus downloaded from the GenBank with the software MegAlign, and the nucleotide and amino acid homology analyses of the obtained sequences were performed. The difference in amino acid sites was analyzed with the software GeneDoc, and phylogenetic trees were created based on the sequences of the coding region and E protein of the isolated Japanese encephalitis virus with the software Mega X. In addition, the secondary and tertiary structures of the E protein of the Japanese encephalitis virus were predicted using the online tool SOPMA and the software Swiss-Model. Results A total of 5 820 mosquitoes were collected and 3 843 Cx. tritaeniorhynchus (66.03%) were identified according to the mosquito morphology. A positive virus isolate, termed YNDC55-33, was isolated from Cx. tritaeniorhynchoides following batches of virus isolation from mosquito specimens, and cytopathic effect was observed following inoculation into BHK-21 and C6/36 cells. The YNDC55-33 virus isolate was successfully amplified with the flavivirus primes, and a long sequence containing 300 nucleotides was obtained. Following sequence alignment using the BLAST tool, the sequence of the YNDC55-33 virus isolate had high homology with that of the genotype I Japanese encephalitis virus. A long sequence with 10 845 nucleotides in length, which encoded 3 432 amino acids, was obtained by splicing the full sequence of the YNDC55-33 virus isolate. Phylogenetic analysis based on the whole-genome sequence and E gene sequence of the YNDC55-33 virus isolate showed that the new YNDC55-33 virus isolate was most closely related to the genotype I Guizhou isolate (GenBank accession number: HM366552), with nucleotide homology of 98.5% and amino acid homology of 99.4%, and the YNDC55-33 virus isolate shared 97.96% ± 0.33% nucleotide homology and 99.35% ± 0.08% amino acid homology with other genotype I Japanese encephalitis virus isolates, and < 90% nucleotide homology and < 98% amino acid homology with other genotypes of Japanese encephalitis virus. The YNDC55-33 virus isolate and the live attenuated virus vaccine candidate SA14-14-2 isolate differed at 16 amino acid sites on E gene, and 7 out of 8 key amino acid sites related to neurovirulence. The secondary and tertiary structures of the E protein of the YNDC55-33 virus isolate were predicted to be characterized by random coils. Conclusions A genotype I Japanese encephalitis virus was isolated from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in Dongchuan District, Kunming City. This virus isolate and the live attenuated virus vaccine candidate SA14-14-2 isolate does not differ at antigenic epitopes-related key amino acid sites, and the major protein structure of the virus isolate is random coils. This study adds new data for the epidemiological distribution of Japanese encephalitis virus in Yunnan Province, which may provide insights into the prevention and control of Japanese encephalitis in the province.

There are millions of patients with taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN), and there is no effective treatment or prevention measure in clinical practice. The occurrence of TIPN may be related to the dosage form of paclitaxel drugs, genetic and molecular markers, drug dosage and chemotherapy cycle, patient factors, etc. At present, drugs for treating TIPN mainly include those that inhibit axonal degeneration (such as dosazosin, tamsulosin), prevent mitochondrial dysfunction (such as glutathione trisulfides, antioxidants α -lipoic acid), improve calcium imbalance in the internal environment (Shaoyao gancao decoction, N-type voltage-gated calcium channel inhibitor IPPQ), and inhibit neuroinflammation (such as chemokine inhibitors and selective interleukin-8 receptor inhibitors DF2726A). Further exploration of drug treatment strategies targeting different induction mechanisms is expected to become a new direction for precise clinical prevention and personalized treatment of TIPN.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a highly aggressive malignant lymphoma. As most chemotherapy drugs have difficulty in crossing the blood-brain barrier, PCNSL shows a difficulty in clinical treatment, a high recurrence rate and a poor prognosis. Early identification of relapsed patients and prompt initiation of salvage therapy play a critical role in the improvement of patients' prognosis. Brain biopsy is the gold standard to identify recurrence, while the risk of operation failure and complications is still high. Non-invasive imaging techniques are beneficial for early identification of recurrence in PCNSL and can provide an important basis for guiding relapsed patients to adjust treatment plans in time. However, there is no unified evaluation standard for imaging methods of monitoring the relapsed lesions of PCNSL. With the further research of the pathophysiological mechanism of PCNSL, biomarker detection has become a new method to identify recurrence and more clinical evidence is still needed in the future.

Objective To analyze the loss coefficient of bivalent live attenuated oral polio vaccine(bOPV) in Hongshan District, and understand the causes and influencing factors, and to provide a basis for scientifically formulating vaccine use plans and regulating vaccine management. Methods Using the data of Hubei Province Immunization Planning Information System and Hongshan District Vaccination Storage and Management System, a special questionnaire was designed to understand the vaccination and use of bOPV in various immunization units in Hongshan District. A descriptive statistical analysis method was used to calculate the loss coefficient. Results The bOPV loss coefficient of 25 vaccination units in Hongshan District was 1.69. The difference of the loss coefficient between the out-patient clinics of the District Health and Family Planning Committee(1.35)and the community clinics undertaken by large hospitals (2.01)was statistically significant. The difference of the loss coefficient between the inoculation once a week(1.57)and 2-6 times per week(1.94)was statistically significant. In terms of vaccine-disabled time, the two groups of <4 hours and >4 hours had different calculated loss coefficients 1.86 and 1.61, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant. Multivariate regression analysis of the factors related to the loss coefficients found that different outpatient attributes had a greater impact on the loss coefficient than the inoculation cycle and the number of inoculation stations. The loss coefficient for 2016 and 2017 was 2.09 and 1.75, respectively. The difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The management and use of live attenuated bivalent polio vaccine in Hongshan District was relatively standardized. The vaccine loss can by further reduced by strengthening supervision and assessment, setting up centralized vaccination and standardizing publicity and training.
