Objective To retrospectively compare analysis of two kinds of surgery which were nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (NSRH) and the traditional radical hysterectomy (RH) for cervical cancer was done to find out the effect on urinary function in postoperative patients. Methods Among 57cervical cancer with clinical stage Ⅰ B1- Ⅱ A 31 cases treated with NSRH,26 cases treated with RH. The postoperative bladder function of the two methods were evaluated, and postoperative recovery of urinary function and postoperative recurrence of tumor were compared. Results The period of indwelling catheter for the postoperative patients with NSRH was (8.5 ± 3.2) days, obviously less than that for traditional RH patients which was ( 12.8 ± 3.8) days. The difference was statistically significant(P < 0.01 ). And two methods of postoperative patients were alive without tumor recurrence and metastasis after 1-4 years follow-up.Conclusions NSRH is better than traditional RH in remaining pelvic autonomic nervous system and improving the early urinary function of postoperative patients of cervical cancer. Otherwise, it doesn't effect the radical cure of tumor.

To screen the illegal substances in fishery inputs,we established the database including the precursor and the daughter ions for these possible components by the quadrupole/orbit-trap mass spectrometer,and the retention time of each drug on the same chromatographic column.And then,the extracted and diluted samples were analyzed and the components in the real samples were identified under the same conditions.Chromatographic analysis was performed on an Accucore RP-MS column (100 mm × 2.1 mm,2.6 μm) using gradient elution with 0.1% formic acid in water and 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile as mobile phase.Elutes were ionized through heatable electrospray ionization (HESI) in both positive and negative mode simultaneously.Data acquisition was conducted by Full-scan ddMS2 (TopN) mode,in which the full mass profile for a continuous precursor ion injection and the fragments of each high abundant precursor of targeted were acquired with excellent time and mass resolution.Screening was carried out through comparison of the information of real samples with that of standards in the database,which were processed by software (Tracefinder).The Quantification of each component was analyzed based on the precursor ion chromatography acquired by orbit-trap mass spectroscopy,which showed a good linearity between 0.01-1 μg/mL,with R>0.98.The method was validated by checking its minimum screening concentration (0.5 mg/L for drugs and 5 mg/L for feedstuffs) and evaluating the recovery after addition of the standard mixture in real samples (>50%,under the addition of 10 and 100 mg/kg).The results for 68 practical samples demonstrated the effective performance of this method for screening with high-throughput,rapidness and acceptable minimum screening concentration and accuracy,in which 15 of 29 fishery drug samples were screened out for positive components that were not indicated in their labels.

ObjectiveThe potential suitable area for ecological planting, key ecological factors, and suitable range of Polygonatum odoratum in China were analyzed to provide theoretical and scientific guidance for the artificial planting of P. odoratum. MethodA total of 454 geographical distribution records of P. odoratum in China and 118 ecological factors were used in this study. The maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) was adopted to predict the suitable areas of P. odoratum. The key ecological factors and their suitable ranges were analyzed by the jackknife method, contribution rates of ecological factors, and response curves. ResultThe suitable areas of P. odoratum were mainly located in the northwest, north, and northeast of China, the highly suitable areas of which were concentrated in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, etc. Solar radiation in November (Srad11), precipitation in July (Prec7), percentage of evergreen/deciduous needleleaf trees (Class1), silt content (2-50 μm) mass fraction (SLTPPT), and annual average temperature (Bio1) were found to be the key ecological factors affecting the suitable distribution of P. odoratum in China. The cumulative contribution rate of solar radiation factors (31.29%)>vegetation factors (25.61%)>soil factors (19.52%)>precipitation factors (11.38%)>temperature factors (8.57%)>topography factors (3.63%). ConclusionIt is suggested to carry out ecological planting of P. odoratum mainly in Shaanxi (such as Baoji and Ankang Cities and Ningshan, Liuba, and Hua Counties), Gansu (such as Tianshui City, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, and Liangdang and Huating Counties), and Shanxi (such as Yangquan, Taiyuan, Fenyang, and Jinzhong Cities, as well as Xingxian County) of China. Solar radiation factors should be given priority in the planting process, followed by vegetation, soil, precipitation, temperature, and topography factors. The range of key ecological factors, namely Srad11, Prec7, Class1, SLTPPT, and Bio1 should be controlled within 8 095.21-10 334.98 (optimum 8 787.50) kJ·m-2·d-1, 109.99-223.60 (146.91) mm, 1.00%-9.45% (6.76%-10.68%), 41.73%-50.35% (46.53%), and 3.29-16.33 (13.57) °C, respectively.

OBJECTIVETo raise awareness of the pathogenesis and diagnosis of thalassemia by reporting one case of α thalassemia patient with a large deletion fragment and analyzing the pedigree.
METHODSFirstly, blood cells and hemoglobin electrophoresis analysis were used for screening of thalassemia, and then three common kinds of deletional α thalassemia in Chinese was detected by Gap-PCR, three common kinds of non- deletional α thalassemia and seventeen common mutations of β thalassemia in Chinese were analyzed by using PCR- RDB. The unknown mutation of samples was identified with Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) and DNA sequencing.
RESULTSThe proband female presented with microcytic hypochromic anemia(hemoglobin 71 g/L, mean corpuscular volume 52.4 fl, mean corpuscular hemoglobin 16.1 pg), and hemoglobin A2 1.4%. The identified large deletion fragment length was 21 925 bp, so far which had not been reported in the world and was named -α²¹·⁹. It was registered in USA DNA database and GenBank accession number as KF360979. The genotype of her mother and father and brother were αα/-α²¹·⁹, --(SEA)/-α³·⁷, αα/-α³·⁷ respectively, and the genotype of her and her sister were the same of --(SEA)/-α²¹·⁹. Her husband gene of thalassemia had no mutation, so prenatal diagnosis of thalassemia was not carried out in the pregnant woman.
CONCLUSIONThe discovery of -α(21.9) deletion mutation was enriched the DNA mutation gene database of thalassemia, and had important significance for genetic counseling and thalassemia prenatal diagnosis.
