Article Synopsis
- - The sterile insect technique involves releasing sterile male insects to mate with wild females, effectively reducing the population by inducing sterility in females and is being developed for Aedes mosquitoes.
- - High ratios of sterile males to wild females can lead to decreased longevity and feeding success in female Aedes mosquitoes due to mating harassment and reduced blood uptake.
- - A field trial in China showed an 80% reduction in female biting rates and a 40% decrease in female mosquito density, indicating this technique can also lower disease transmission by increasing female mortality and reducing contact with hosts.

J Pediatr Hematol Oncol
November 2020
Background: Infantile myofibromatiosis (IM) is a rare benign tumor in the infants, but it has a bad prognosis if IM erncroaches on the viscera. Multiple tissues can be invaded by IM, including the subcutaneous tissue, the muscle of the neck, back, and head, but seldom in the bones and the viscera. The histopathologic and immunohistochemical examinations are necessary in daigonosis of IM as it might be misdiagnosed as the malignant tumor.

A total of 72 pediatric patients with burn sepsis were recruited and randomly divided into 3 groups, receiving simvastatin (40 mg/day), kallistatin (20 mg/day) or combined treatment. ELISA, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and flow cytometry were used to analyze the therapeutic effects of simvastatin and kallistatin.

The blends of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) and polyacetic acid (PLA) were used as the carbon source and biofilm support. The performances of nitrogen removal, microbial abundance and microbial community structure in the biofilm attached on PHBV/PLA were investigated.

Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar were searched for studies published until July 10, 2015, reporting outcomes between the two types of postoperative nutritional support. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included.

Objective: To study the relationship of nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) and poliovirus receptor-related 1 exon3 (PVRL1exon3) polymorphisms in Han People of Jiangzhe area.
Methods: PVRL1exon3 was examined by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) technique in the 50 patients with NSCL/P and 85 healthy parents.
Results: No W185X mutation was found in the PVRL1exon 3.
