The endemic situation of acute schistosomiasis in Tongling County from 1990 to 2008 showed the incidence rate of acute schistosomiasis was declining year by year, and the endemic situation was controlled effectively.

BACKGROUND: As indicated by transplantation experiments in recent years, correlative neural active substances could be synthesized in the transplanted retina(TP); however, the growth and development situation of neural active substance positive neurons in TP is unclear.OBJECTIVE: To observe the differentiation and development of the neuron,and the biosynthesis of neural active substance in TP and its relationship with environment and visual center to explore the rule of development of nerve tissue and its regeneration and plasticity.DESIGN: An observatory comparative study based on animals.SETTING: Department of histology and embryology of two universities.MATERIALS: The study was conducted in the Experimental Animal Center of Guangzhou Medical College between August 2002 and March 2003. Totally 96 healthy SD rats in either gender were selected.INTERVENTIONS: Embryonal 14-day SD retina was transplantedin-between the epithalamus and hypothalamus of the midbrain in P1 rat and the right eye of the P1 rat was removed simultaneously. The development time of TP on the 9th day after operation was corresponding to the normal retina on the 1st day after born, which was then recorded as TP1, and so on. The development and differentiation was shown by histochemical method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Development and morphological observation of TP and neurons in TP.RESULTS: TP had the same structure of each layer as normal retina and its similar growth and development rule, which also could synthesize relative neural active substance. Nitricoxide synthase(NOS) -positive neuron in TP started at TP4 and reached its peak at TP12, but the number of positive neurons was kept on a relative low level after TP22.CONCLUSION: Embryonal retina could survive and remain its original growth and development rule after intracerebral transplantation, which has same structural characters as normal retina.

Background and purpose:It is verifi ed that MCM2 is a specifi c marker in the cell cycle,and expressed in all cells entering into the cycle,however,no expression is found in the differentiated cells and static period cell.Therefore,in the abnormally proliferative developmental cells and mutagenic cells,MCM2 could be used to mark the status of the cells as a cellular proliferative marker,and then to be a diagnostic tool for some heterotypical pathological changes and tumors.Our study demonstrated that the expression and clinical significance of MCM2 in bladder transitional cell cancer(BTCC).Methods:The expression of MCM2 was examined by immunohistochemistry Streptavidin-Peroxidase method in 12 cases of normal bladder tissues and 42 cases of BTCC.Results:The positive expression of MCM2 in BTCC was 100%,whereas in normal tissues,no positive expression was found(P0.05).The expression of MCM2 was closely associated with tumor pathological grade(P

A method for the determination of cyromazine and dicyclanil residues on greasy wool was developed with HPLC and confirmed with HPLC-MS/MS.The cyromazine and dicyclanil residues on greasy wool were extracted with 1% trichloroacetic acid solution with ultrasonic, and cleaned up by MCX SPE column.The HPLC separation was performed on a Hypersil NH_2 using water-acetonitrile (V/V) as the mobile phase with gradient elution and detected at the wavelength of 214 nm.The corroboration method of HPLC-MS/MS was used with electro-spray ionization of positive ion mode.The [ M + H ]~+ and characteristic ions of dicyclanil were m/z 191.0, 150.0 and 163.0, and cyromazine were m/z 167.0, 85.0 and 125.0.The linear ranges of cyromazine and dicyclanil were 0.05-5.0 mg/L.There were good linear relationships between the peak area and concentration in the linear range.The correlation coefficient was 0.9999.The detection limit of cyroma zine was 0.02 mg/kg, and dicyclanil was 0.01 mg/kg.The average recoveries of cyromazine and the dicycla nil were 95.0%-99.9% and 83.6%-92.2%, respectively.
