Objective To explore the value of monitoring techniques of the external branch of superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) in thyroid surgery and to study its protective effects on vocal function after thyroid surgery.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 139 patients who underwent primary surgery of papillary thyroid cancer with neurological monitoring from Jun.2017 to Mar.2018 in the General Surgery Department of PLA General Hospital.The tumors of 31 cases were located in the upper pole of the gland and elsewhere in 108 cases.The patients' vocal function was assessed at one week and one month after surgery.The rate of EBSLN identified visually and by the intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) were counted.EBSLN recognition efficiency and prevalence of EBSLN damage during the operation of tumor in upper pole of thyroid and in other location were compared.Results In the 139 patients,there were 218 upper poles(218 EBSLN) treated intraoperatively,of which 145 were recognized visually (126(57.8%) confirmed by IONM,and 203(93.1%) were identified by IONM,OR=8.27(x2=59.345,P=0.00).The percentage of EBLSN located in the upper pole accurately identified by the naked eye was 20/46(43.5%) while by IONM was 43/46(93.4%).The percentage of EBSLN at the other position accurately identified visually was 106/172(61.6%),and by IONM was 160/172(93.0%).The number of visually identified cases in different locations showed significantly differences according to the chi-square test (x2=4.901,P=0.027),and no significant difference by IONM identification according to chi-square test (x2=0.012,P=0.914).Five patients had a low voice at one week postoperatively and low voice and vocalization change were not observed after one month.Conclusions IONM can effectively increase the proportion of intraoperative EBSLN identification to ensure the safety of surgery.The difficulty of visual identification of EBSLN during the surgery of tumor in upper pole is greater than that in other locations.IONM can provide more evidences for nerve protection and reduce the risk of injury.

Babesia microti is one of the most common causative agents of babesiosis. A sensitive and rapid detection is necessary for screening potentially infected individuals. In this study, B. microti cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) was selected as the target gene, multiple primers were designed, and optimized by a recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) assay. The optimal primers and probe were labeled with fluorescein. The sensitivity of fluorescent RAA (fRAA) was evaluated using gradient diluents of the cox1 recombinant plasmid and genomic DNA extracted from whole blood of B. microti infected mice. The specificity of fRAA was assessed by other transfusion transmitted parasites. The analytical sensitivity of the fRAA assay was 10 copies of recombinant plasmid per reaction and 10 fg/µl B. microti genomic DNA. No cross-reaction with any other blood-transmitted parasites was observed. Our results demonstrated that the fRAA assay would be rapid, sensitive, and specific for the detection of B. microti.

OBJECTIVE To study the extraction and enrichment technology of chrysosplenides A (CA) and I (CI) in Tibetan medicine Chrysosplenium axillare. METHODS HPLC method was used to determine the contents of CA and CI. The orthogonal experiment was used to optimize the extraction technology of CA and CI in C. axillare using total transfer rate of CA and CI as evaluation indexes, with volume fraction of ethanol, extraction temperature, extraction times and solid-liquid ratio as factors. The validation test was also performed. The enrichment technology of CA and CI in C. axillare was optimized using D101 macroporous adsorption resin as adsorbent, total contents of CA and CI as evaluation indexes, with the volume fraction and dosage of eluent for impurities and target components. The validation test was also performed. RESULTS The optimum extraction conditions of CA and CI from C. axillare were as follows: the medicinal powder of C. axillare was extracted by ultrasound at room temperature for 45 min at one time with 8 times of 50% ethanol. Results of validation tests showed that total transfer rate of CA and CI in C. axillare was 95.43% in average (RSD=1.02%, n=3). The optimal enrichment technology was as follows: the sample solution was added into D101 macroporous adsorption resin column and stood for 1 hour; the impurities were eluted with 20% ethanol 4 BV (column volume), and CA and CI were eluted with 50% ethanol 4 BV. The results of validation tests showed that total content of CA and CI was 322.7 mg/g in average (RSD=1.05%, n=3), with average enrichment multiple of 11.61 times. CONCLUSIONS The study has successfully optimized the extraction and enrichment technology of CA and CI from C. axillare, and can provide reference for the development and utilization of CA and CI.
