ABSTRACT
Objective:This meta-analysis was conducted to systematically evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging guided laparoscopic liver tumor resection (FIGLTR).Methods:A systematic search was made for the literature on indocyanine green fluorescence image-guided laparoscopic hepatectomy in randomized, semi-randomized controlled trials and observational studies, and manually search published materials and conference papers in Chinese and English and trace references included in the literature. The retrieval period was up to September 2021. The quality of included studies was evaluated, then the meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.1 software.Results:Ten studies were included with 803 patients, including 341 in the FIGLTR group and 462 in the non-FIGLTR group. Meta results showed that: Compared to the traditional resection group, indocyanine green fluorescence imaging can significantly shorten the operative time ( MD=-22.61, 95% CI: -34.20--11.03, P<0.001), reduce intraoperative bleeding ( MD=-49.17, 95% CI: -84.99--13.36, P<0.01), shorter hospital stay ( MD=-0.89, 95% CI: -7.72--0.06, P<0.05), Improve the removal rate of R 0 edge ( OR=8.80, 95% CI: 1.96-39.44, P<0.05) and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications ( OR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.34-0.87, P<0.05) of laparoscopic liver tumor resection. There were no differences found in portal block time and transfusion rate. Conclusion:Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging technology provides a new way for safe and accurate laparoscopic resection of liver tumors.
ABSTRACT
Chinese scientists have isolated hundreds of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) strains from nature and studied their virulence in mice since 1949. They found that the JEV isolates in nature had apparently different virulence among them, especially the pheripheral virulence. This difference was caused by the effects of virus living circumstance such as the mosquito vectors, hosts and natural climate etc. Further studies demonstrated that the virulence of JEV could be reduced in laboratory by serial passages of the virus in mouse brain or different cell cultures especially in hamster kidney cells and the pheripheral virulence was reduced more rapidly. The technique of virus plaque purification was able to differentiate the higher and lower virulent viruses and can be used for selection of avirulent virus strain.By using different ways several attenuated virus strains have been selected and used as live vaccine for vaccination in humans, pigs and horses. Especially, they found that in vivo passage of the viruses in non-neural tissues of laboratory animals could further reduce residual virulence and promote their immunogenicity. By using this creative technology, a highly attenuated, immunogenic and genetically stable attenuated strain SA14-14-2 virus was selected. The attenuated live vaccine made by SA14-14-2 strain has been used worldwild since its licensure in 1989. And in 2013, the vaccine made by Chengdu Biological Institute obtained WHO prequalification.

ABSTRACT
HCV genotypes have been documented in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to determine the replication priority of different HCV genotypes in a Chinese HCV positive cohort. Serum samples from 491 apparently healthy Chinese blood donors testing positive for HCV antibodies and naive to antiviral drug therapy were tested. Genotyping analysis showed that genotypes 1b and 2a were predominant and accounted for 77.6% of the HCV infections. Among the genotype groups, individuals infected with genotype 2a had an HCV RNA viral load (10(8) copies/mL) about 200-fold (lg, 2.3) greater than those infected with other genotypes (10(4)-10(5) copies/mL) indicating a replication priority of genotype 2a. However, there was no correlation between HCV genotype and antibody response suggesting that the amplification advantage of genotype 2a results from a favorable interaction with the host cellular environment. In conclusion, HCV genotypes 1b and 2a are the predominant genotypes in China and genotype 2a possesses a significant replication priority compared with the other genotypes. This suggests the existence of host cellular factors that may act as drug-targets for entirely clearing HCV infection in the future.

Results The TEM image is two-dimensional image which can be seen the classical bullet-shaped structure,and the spike structure can also be seen. The AFM image showed the rabies virus morphology with three-dimensional image which can shows the characteristics of the virus surface and edge. The rabies virus particle was successfully observed by TEM or AFM methods. Conclusion It's the first time to get the three-dimensional morphological structure of rabies virus by atomic force microscopy, compared with transmission electron microscopy, AFM is a new research tool for viral morphology study with the advantages of simple sample preparing and intuitionistic and visible interface for researchers.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To establish an animal model of myocardial ischemia with blood stasis syndrome in mini-swines. METHODS: An animal model of myocardial ischemia was established in mini-swines by oppressing the coronary artery through the expansion of inner layer of Ameroid constrictor and the Ameroid constrictor was implanted into the distal end of the initial part of the first branch of interventricular septum of ramus descendens anterior arteriae coronariae sinistrae. Dynamic observation of behavior changes, general health status and changes of hemorheological parameters in the mini-swines were made after operation. RESULTS: The coronary angiography showed that the stenosis rate in ischemic group was more than 75% four weeks after operation. Compared with before operation and sham-operated group, there were great changes of behavior, general health status, tongue color and hemorheological parameters in ischemic group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The animal model of myocardial ischemia with blood stasis syndrome in mini-swines was established successfully 4 weeks after operation. The pathological process in the animal model is similar to that in the patients with chronic myocardial ischemia. So this model can be adopted in the research of myocardial ischemia with blood stasis syndrome.

Objective To identify the biological and molecular biological characteristics of SN7 virus isolated from Niviventer Confucianus in Sichuan province. Methods Monoclonal antibody, PRNT and PCR antigenicity analysis and genotyping of SN7 strain were performed. M and S segments of SN7 genome were also cloned and sequenced. The sequences were compared with those of other strains of Hantavirus. Results It was difficult to identify SN7 by using monocloncal antibody, PRNT and PCR. With sequence comparison, we found that strain SN7 had high homology(80.2%～87.1% of M segment and 76.6%～92.0% of S segment) with HTN type strains, and relatively low homology(70.0%～71.6% of M segment and 71.0%～72.2% of S segment) with SEO type strains. Strain SN7 was believed to belong to HTN type. Conclusions SN7 is a new subtype strain of HTN type viruses. It is possible that Hantavirus has immune escape in its natural hosts.
