With thousands of sequenced 16 S rRNA genes available,and advancements in oligonucleotide microarray technology,the detection of microorganisms in microbial communities consisting of hundreds of species may be possible.The existing algorithms developed for sequence-specific probe design are not suitable for applications in large-scale bacteria detection due to the lack of coverage,flexibility and efficiency.Many other strategies developed for group-specific probe design focus on how to find a unique group-specific probe that can specifically detect all target sequences of a group.Unique group-specific probe for each group can not always be found.Hence,it is necessary to design non-unique probes.Each probe can specifically detect target sequences of a different subgroup.Combination of multiple probes can achieve higher coverage.However,it is a time-consuming task to evaluate all possible combinations.A feasible algorithm using relative entropy and genetic algorithm (GA) to design group-specific non-unique probes was presented.

The duck circovirus (DuCV) infection in sick ducks from Fujian Province was investigated. The liver samples of 43 sick Muscovy ducks with infectious serositis were collected from 12 duck farms in Fujian Province.Based on the published sequences of DuCV, two primers were designed for the detection of DuCV and four pairs of primers were designed to amplify four overlapping fragments that cover the complete genome of DuCV. The specific PCR products were amplified from positive samples. The fragments were then cloned into pMD18-T vector and sequenced, and the full length genomic sequence of the FJ0601 isolate of DuCV was obtained. PCR analysis showed that the proportion of ducks which were positive for circovirus was 79% and 10 out of the 12 farms were positive. Sequence analysis showed that the complete genome of DuCV-FJ0601 was 1988 bp and possessed features common to the family Circoviridae which included a stem-loop structure and the Rep protein motifs. Homology analysis showed that FJ0601 isolate of DuCV had 97.3%～97.5% nucleotide sequence identity to all the four Taiwan isolates (TC1/2002, TC2/2002, TC3/2002, TC4/2002), 82.9% identity to the America (33753-52) isolate and 82.3% identity to the Germany isolate. Phylogenetic analysis with Clustal W, however,showed that FJ0601 isolate of DuCV was on a common branch with Taiwan isolates, and Germany and America isolates belonged to the other branch.

Objective To explore the relationship between bone mineral density(BMD) and body tat disrribution in the aged in Ningbo area of China. Methods The BMD of lumbar vertebra and total body bones as well as body composition were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 61 aged males, and also in 63 aged females as control group. Results In the aged males, a negative correlation was found between BMD and age, while BMI, muscle, trunk fat were positively correlated with BMD. As for the aged female, age, BMI, muscle and fat were all positively correlated with BMD. Conclusions The correlation between body fat and BMD is closer in females than in males in the aged. There is a positive correlation between trunk fat and lumbar spine BMD, and it indicates that central obesity may have a protective effect on lumbar spine BMD.

Objective To analyze the related factors associated with the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in Goto-Kakizaki rats.Methods In GK rats undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass,the weight,food intake,and the fasting blood glucose were retrospectively analyzed before surgery and 1,3,6,12,24 weeks after surgery,and the glycosylated haemoglobin concentrations were retrospectively analyzed before surgery and 4,12,24 weeks after surgery.According to preoperative glycosylated haemoglobin concentrations,GK rats were divided into 3 groups(group A,HbAlc 6.5％-7.9％; group B,HbAlc 8.0％-9.9％ ; group C,HbAlc ＞ 10％).Results The fasting blood glucose and the glycosylated haemoglobin concentrations significantly decreased 1 week after surgery(P ＜ 0.01),on 24 weeks after operation,the fasting blood glucose levels decreased from(12.1 ± 3.0)mmol/L to(7.6 ± 1.3)mmol/L,and the glycosylated haemoglobin concentrations declined from(9.2％ ± 1.8％)to(6.3％ ± 0.8％).Preoperative fasting blood glucose was(11.1 ± 2.2)mmol/L and(15.8 ± 2.3)mmol/L respectively,and the preoperative glycosylated haemoglobin concentration was(8.6％ ± 1.4％)and(11.5％ ± 1.4％)respectively(P ＜ 0.01).Non-conditional Logistic regression analysis identified preoperative glycosylated haemoglobin concentrations as an independent predictor for the cure rate(P ＜ 0.01); Differences were significant between group A and group C,and group B and group C on the efficiency of the surgery(P ＜0.01).Conclusions Significant correlation established between glycosylated haemoglobin concentrations and the efficiency of the surgery,especially for those rats with preoperative HbAlc ＜ 10％.

Objective To investigate rational management for pregnant women with intermediate risk of Down syndrome (DS) through a retrospective analysis of second trimester maternal screening results for DS.Methods Second-trimester triple maternal serum screening for DS was performed.High risk ( ≥ 1/270) pregnant women received prenatal diagnosis.Intermediate (1/1000 to 1/270) and low (＜1/1000) risk pregnant women received routine obstetric examination.Data of ultrasound diagnosis,karyotype analysis of amniotic fluid and postpartum follow-up were collected.Outcomes of pregnant women were retrospectively analyzed.The incidences of DS among three groups were compared.Data of different groups were compared with Fisher exact or Chi-square test.Results Eighty-six thousand eight hundred and seventy-four pregnant women accepted maternal serum screening and outcomes of 86 126 cases were followed up,among which 4342 cases were DS high risk,8196 intermediate and 73 588 low risk.The incidence of DS was 6.22‰(27/4342) for high risk,0.73 ‰ (6/8196) for intermediate risk and 0.04 ‰ (3/73 588) for low risk group.The incidence of DS was higher in high risk group than in intermediate risk group (Fisher exact probability,P=0.000),and was higher in intermediate risk group than in low risk group (Fisher exact probability,P=0.000).Comparison among the three subgroups within intermediate risk group showed no significant differences (x2 =0.047,P =0.977).Conclusions Pregnant women with intermediate risk of DS should be paid more attention.Reasonable management such as ultrasound diagnosis and prenatal consultation should be provided.

Objective:To provide scientific evidence for infection prevention and control by analyzing the risk factors of surgical site infection, which can move forward the gateway of infection prevention and control.Methods:The surgery-related information of patients admitted to the Department of General Surgery and Department of Orthopedics, People's Hospital of Guangnan Hospital of Yunnan province from November 2016 to August 2019 was retrospectively analyzed. According to whether postoperative surgical site infection occurred, the patients were divided into an infection group and a non-infection group. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of surgical site infection.Results:A total of 9 346 patients, consisting of 117 patients in the infection group and 9 229 patients in the non-infection group, were included for final analysis. In the infection group, the incidence of surgical site infection was 1.25%. Multivariate analysis showed that hypoproteinemia ( OR = 2.585), unclean incision ( OR = 3.243 and 5.125), and operation duration more than 3 hours ( OR = 2.315), blood transfusion ( OR = 2.239), drainage tube placement ( OR = 2.133) and indwelling catheter placement ( OR = 1.973) were the independent risk factors for surgical site infection, while prophylactic use of antibiotics was a protective factor ( OR = 0.383). Conclusion:Individual factors, operation-related factors, and treatment-related factors are closely related to the occurrence of surgical site infection. Much attention should be paid to the clinical issues like preoperative hypoproteinemia, perioperative prophylactic use of antibiotics and postoperative drainage tube and indwelling catheter placement.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate chemotherapeutic efficacy and safety of Paclitaxel combined with lobaplatin by inter-ventional embolization for cervical cancer. METHODS:Totally 68 cases of cervical cancer patients selected from our hospital dur-ing May 2010-Mar. 2014 were divided into control group and observation group according to therapy plan,with 34 cases in each group. Control group was given Paclitaxel liposome for injection 175 mg/m2 added into 5% Glucose injection 250 mL,ivgtt+Loba-platin for injection 80 mg/m2 added into 5% Glucose injection 250 mL,ivgtt. Observation group was given Paclitaxel liposome for injection 175 mg/m2+Lobaplatin for injection 80 mg/m2+5% Glucose injection 10 mL via percutaneous catheter after selecting uter-ine artery and tumor vessel by arterial catheterization arteriography,gelfoam embolization. Both groups were treated in the first day of every treatment course,21 d as a treatment course,for 3 courses. Clinical efficacies were observed in 2 groups as well as the levels of T lymphocyte subsets(CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+)before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR during treatment,lo-cal recurrence and metastasis after 2 years,and survival situation were recorded. RESULTS:The total response rate of observatio group(85.29%)was significantly higher than that of control group(61.76%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treat-ment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of CD4+,CD8+ or CD4+/CD8+ between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treat-ment,CD4+and CD4+/CD8+of 2 groups were increased significantly,while CD8+was decreased significantly;above indexes of ob-servation group were improved significantly compared to control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The survival time of observation group [(22.58±0.61)months] was significantly longer than that of control group [(17.61±1.32)months],and 2-year survival rate(70.59%)was significantly higher than control group(47.06%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). There were no statistical significance in incidence of disease control,incidence of total ADR and incidence of local recurrence and metastasis between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Paclitaxel combined with lobaplatin by interventional embolization show definite chemotherapeutic efficacy for cervical cancer,and can improve the levels of T lymphocyte subset with good safety.

Objective To observe therapeutical effects of gastric bypass on non-obese type 2 diabetes patients.Methods From June 2008 to April 2010,data of 47 patients with both gastric lesions and non-obese type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing gastric bypass in the Institute of General Surgery were studied.The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the operation type:total stomach resection plus Roux-en-Y anastomosis ( n =20),partial stomach resection plus Roux-en-Y anastomosis(n =13)and Billroth Ⅱ gastrectomy(n =14).They were followed for 6 months after surgery.Level of body mass index (BMI),fasting blood glucose (FBG) and GLP-1 was measured before operation and on the 1 st week,2nd week,1 st month,3rd month,and 6th month after operation.The level of glycosylated hemoglobin was measured before operation and on the 3rd and 6th month after operation.The prognosis of the patients on the 6th month after surgery was evaluated.Results Compared with preoperative level,FBG level in all the 3 groups significantly decreased on the 1 st week after surgery and maintained a similar level during the follow-up period (P ＜ 0.01 ).GLP-1 level was elevated after operation (P ＜0.01 or P ＜ 0.05).On the 3rd and 6th month after operation,glycosylated hemoglobin level in all the 3 groups significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0.05 ).The change of the above parameters was greater in groups undergoing Roux-en-Y anastomosis than in Billroth Ⅱ group(P ＜ 0.05 ).The control rate of T2DM for Billroth Ⅱ,partial stomach resection plus Roux-en-Y anastomosis and total stomach resection plus Roux-en-Y anastomosis was 78.5％(11/14),100％ (13/13) and 100％ (20/20)respectively on the 6th month after surgery,indicating Roux-en-Y gastric bypass had better effect of blood glucose control than Billroth Ⅱ (P ＜ 0.05 ).Postoperative BMI decreased significantly in all groups (P ＜ 0.05) and there was no statistical difference between all the groups (P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions All groups of gastric bypass are effective in terms of glucose control.Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is more effective than Billroth Ⅱ on diabetes control and its therapeutic effect is independent of weight loss.

Objective To analyze the clinical value of ultrasound and ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy ( UNB) in the evaluation of axillary lymph node metastasis for breast cancer.Methods A total of 454 cases of breast cancer treated between June 2008 and August 2014 at our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.UNB was performed on patients with abnormal ultrasonic diagnosis of axillary lymph nodes.Among them, 354 cases underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy or endocrine therapy while 100 cases underwent surgery after UNB.The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and false negative rate of ultrasound and UNB were evaluated.Results Among the 454 patients with abnormal axillary lymph nodes of ultrasound imaging, the metastasis rate with UNB was 70.9%,while the negative rate was 29.1%.Among the 100 cases who underwent surgery after UNB, the metastasis rate was 25% while the ultrasound imaging lymph node longitudinal and transversal ( L/T)≤1.5,the lymph node size>1 cm,and the metastasis rate was 92.3%(12/13).UNB showed that sensitivity was 64.1%, specificity 100%, accuracy 86%, positive predictive value 100%, negative predictive value 81.3%,and false negative rate was 18.7%.The results of UNB seemed consistent with those of postoperative pathological diagnosis, the Kappa value being 0.685.Based on 2 and 3 needles, the above mentioned 6 indices were 50% and 77.8%, 100% and 100%, 77.8% and 92.5%, 100% and 100%, 71.4% and 89.7%,and 28.6%and 10.3%, respectively.The Kappa value of UNB based on 3 needles was higher than on 2 needles (0.822 vs 0.526 ) .Conclusion Ultrasound is a valuable tool for detecting axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer.UNB can accurately determine the axillary lymph node metastasis status.UNB based on 3 needles shows a higher accuracy than on 2 needles.
