ODVs are released from occlusion bodies in the midgut where they initiate a primary infection. Due to the lack of an in vitro system, the molecular mechanism of ODV infection is still unclear. Here we present data demonstrating that Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV) ODV infected cultured Hz-AM1 cells in a pH dependent manner. The optimal pH for ODV infection was 8.5, which is same to that in the microvilli of midgut epithelial cells, the ODV native infection sites. Antibodies neutralization analysis indicated that four HearNPV oral infection essential genes p74, pif-1, pif-2 and pif-3 are also essential for HearNPV ODV infection in vitro. Thus, HearNPV-HzAM1 system can be used to analyze the mechanism of ODV entry.展开更多

The abdominal delayed PET/CT was performed within 45 min of the conventional scan.The change in maximum standardized uptake value(ASUV_(max)) and morphological features of the suspected lesions between the conventional and dual-time-point PET/CT were compared. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value(NPV) of conventional PET/CT were 81.6%(84/103), 56.2%(86/153), 55.6%(84/151), and 81.9%(86/105), respectively.Those of dual-time-point PET/CT were 94.1%(97/103),78.4%(120/153), 74.6%(97/130), and 95.2%(120/126),respectively. There was a significant difference between the conventional and dual-time-point PET/CT(P < 0.005).The SUV_(early) and the %△SUV_(max) could not present more information in differential diagnoses, but the rate of tumors with increased SUVdelay accounted for 79.6%(82/103) and more than that of nonneoplastic lesions(15.5%, 29/187)(x^2= 115.5, P < 0.01). Therefore, the dual-time-point^(18)F-FDG PET/CT had a higher sensitivity and NPV than the conventional PET/CT to detect gastrointestinal tumors.The constant morphology and increased SUV_(delay) help to detect the tumors and adding delayed imaging on the locality will be an effective method when we accidentally find a suspected gastrointestinal tumor on the conventional PET/CT images.展开更多
