Chinese Journal of Infectious Diseases 2011;29(4):236-238
Objective To identify Taenia cestodes specimens collected from Baoshan and Puer regions of Yunnan Province by analyzing mitochondrial DNA gene encoding ribosomal RNA small subunit (mtDNA-12S rRNA) gene sequence. Methods The adult Taenia cestode samples were collected from Baoshan and Puer regions of Yunnan Province. The genomic DNA was extracted and mtDNA-12S rRAN gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), then sequenced.Combined with the known mtDNA-12S rRNA gene sequence of Taenia solium, Taenia saginata,Taenia asiatica in GenBank, homology tree and phylogenetic tree were constructed by DNA MAN software. Results Taenia cestode homology tree and phylogenetic tree showed that gene sequences of BS1, BS2, BS4 and BS5 were most close to YZ with identity of 99% and those of BS3, BS6, BST,PE1 and PE2 were most close to ND with identity of 99%. Conclusions Taenia saginata and Taenia asiatica can be found in Baoshan area, while Taenia saginata can be found in Puer area. The gene sequence of mtDNA-12S rRNA can be used for clarifying the three types of Taenia cestode.

Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2010;19(11):1019-1021
Objective To explore the relationship of job-seeking self-efficacy, vocational interest and professional commitment. Methods 568 college students were questioned by job-seeking self-efficacy scale, vocational Interest Inventory and Professional Commitment scale. Results Job-seeking self-efficacy were positively related to professional commitment( r = 0.47, P < 0. 0 1 ) ;different level of job-seeking self-efficacy had significant difference in professional commitment( F (2.565 =60.48, P<0. 01 ). Among six types of vocational interest, career interest got highest correlation on professional commitment( r=0. 31, P<0.01 ). Path analysis found that job search self-efficacy directly impacted on professional commitment( B = 0.58, P < 0. 01 ), job search self-efficacy could also through research-oriented career interest had an indirect impact on the professional commitment ( B =0. 05, P < 0. 0 1 ). Conclusion Professional commitment is mainly effected by job search self-efficacy, career interest. As a result, all these factors should be taken under consideration to improve colleges' professional commitment.

Objective To systematic review the methodological quality of guidelines for Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in children, to provide a reference for clinical evidence-based medicine. Methods Guidelines concerning GBS were electronically retrieved from PubMed, EMbase, CBM, Wanfang data, CNKI and Vip. The guide databases includes major medical institutions and industry sites such as NGC, GIN, TRIP , CDC, IDSA, AAP, WHO, Chinese Health and Family Planning Committee website, library of clinical guidelines China and Chinese clinical guidelines for collaboration. All the data were searched from inception of the database or network to Oct. 2013. Two reviews independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and assessed the quality of guideline using the AGREEⅡ. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to examine the conformance of the raters' evaluation scores. Results A total of 5 guidelines concerning GBS were included, with a time range from 2003 to 2012, and origins from USA, EU and Canada. The final recommendation levels of the 5 articles were level B. According to the AGREEⅡ, domain 3 and 4 showed the higher scores, and scores were generally low in domain 5. Plasma exchange (PE) and intravenous immuneglobulin (IVIG) showed positive effects on the treatment of GBS. But it was not recommended that combined PE and IVIG. Corticosteroids are also not recommended for GBS treatment. Conclusions The recommendations of medicines for GBS are basically consistent. However, the classification criteria of the levels of evidence and recommendation are still unconsistent and suboptimal. The guidelines on GBS should be improved in“Applicability”in future.

To find a new method to identify Mori Cortex and its adulterants by analysis their ITS2 sequence of barcode,total genomic DNA was isolated from Mori Cortex and its adulterants. Nuclear DNA ITS2 sequences were amplified,and purified PCR products were sequenced. Sequence assembly and consensus sequence generation were performed using the CodonCode Aligner V3.0. The Kimura 2-Parameter (K2P) distances were calculated us-ing software MEGA 4.0. Identification analyses were performed using BLAST1, Nearest Distance and neighbor-joining (NJ) methods. The results showed the intra-specific genetic distance of Mori Cortex was 0, which were lower than inter-specific genetic distances between Mori Cortex and its closely related species (0.003-0.343). The ITS2 region is an efficient barcode for identification of Mori Cortex and its closely related species, which provides a scientific basis for fast and accurate identification and new method of Mori Cortex.

This study was aimed to explore a new method to identify the original plant of Plantaginis Semen and its adulterants by the ITS2 regions. The second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) of ribosomal DNA was amplified and sequenced by bidirectional sequencing of PCR products. Sequence assembly and consensus sequence generation were performed by using CodonCode Aligner. The ITS2 secondary structure was predicted using ITS2 database and web-sites. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by MEGA5. The results showed that the maximum intraspecific K2P dis-tance of Plantago asiatica was 0.009 9, while the minimum interspecific K2P distance was 0.497 6; the maximum in-traspecific K2P distance of P. depressa was 0.005 2, while the minimum interspecific K2P distance was 0.519 1. The ITS2 secondary structure showed that P. asiatica and P. depressa can be differentiated obviously from its adulterants. Different samples of P. asiatica and P. depressa were gathered together and can be distinguished from its adulterants by NJ tree. It was concluded that the ITS2 sequence was able to identify original plant of Plantaginis Semen and its adulterants correctly. It provided a new method for the identification of original plant of Plantaginis Semen.
