Attention was gradually paid by biologists to the using of RNA secondary structure in the classification of microbiology and phylogenetic relationship analysis in recent years. The development around the research was summarized here briefly. And more emphasis was given to the part introducing the application of RNA secondary structure to the analysis of phylogenetic relationship.

Plants in Ainsliaea genus, belongs to Compositae family, are traditional Chinese medicine and widely used in folk. These plants contain various types of chemical components, and main components are sesquiterpene lactone and its glycosides. In addition, there are triterpenoids, flavonoids, steroids, phenolic acid, long chain fatty acid and volatile oils. Recently, much attention has been payed to varlous research of A. fragrans. This paper reviewed and summarized the chemical components to provide the theoretical basis for the use of Ainsliaea.

A new flavonoid glycoside, (-)-2S-8-methyl-5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavanone-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), along with five known ones, quercetin-3-O-(2"-galloyl)-α-L-arabinoside (2), kaempferol-3-O-α-L-arabinoside (3), guaijaverin (4), trifolin (5) and hyperin (6), was isolated from the leaves of Eucalyptus robusta. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated by NMR, HR-ESI-MS, CD spectra data and physicochemical methods. In addition, 2-6 were isolated from E. robusta for the first time.

Objective To explore the relationship of post-transplant major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A(MICA)antibody status and renal allograft function in clinical stable phase.Methods Fifty-seven patients accepted renal allografts followed up for at least 6 months were detected with the levels and specialties of MICA antibodies by Flow PRATM beads.Simultaneously,their serum ereatinine levels were tested as well.The impact of MICA antibody status on renal allograft function was assessed.Results Among the 57 patients,38 cases showed no HLA and MICA antibody.11 cases had HLA antibodies but not MICA antibody,8 cases had MICA antibodies and 3 cases had both MICA and HLA antibodies.There were 5 patients with MICA019 antibodies.3 patients with MICA027 antibodies,2 patients with MICA018 antibodies,while 1 patient with MICA004 and MICA017 antibodies,respectively.There were 9 patients with antibody positive score higher than 6,accounting 75%(9/12).Except age,there was no significant difference between patients with positive and negative MICA antibodies in the aspects of blood transfusion history,CDC,and cold ischemia time(P＞0.05).The average ages were(32.5±7.9)years for MICA antibodypositive patients and were(43.0±1 0.4)years for MICA antibody-negative patients(P=0.008).MICA antibody-positive patients without HLA antibody had higher serum creatinine level[(117.20±12.30)μmol/L]than MICA and HLA antibody-negative patients[(89.40±28.95)μmol/L,P＜0.05].Conclusions The measurement of MICA antibodies has prognostic value in the assessment of patients without HLA antibodies after renal transplantation.MICA antibody positive has clear association with chronic renal allograft function decline.

Objective To discuss training of the nurses in outpatient blood collection room with the digital training modular of blood sample collection to improve the quality of blood sample collection. Methods Nurses were trained with the digital training modular by multimedia,group discussion to impmve the quality of blood sample collection continuously. Results The unqualified blood sample rate in the same season after training were statistically different compared with that before training. Conclu-sions Training the nurses in outpatient blood collection room with the digital traimg modular of blood sample collection have actual direction value to improve the quality of blood sample collection.

The chemical constituents isolated from Desmodium species (Leguminosae) included terpenoids, flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids compounds. Modem pharmacological studies have showed that the Desmodium species have antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, diuretic, antipyretic, analgesic and choleretic activity. This article mainly has reviewed the research advances of chemical constituents and biological activities of Desmodium species since 2003.

Objective To investigate the iodine nutritional status of targeted population in the high-risk areas of iodine deficiency disorders in Chongqing, so as to provide scientific evidence for establishing prevention and remedial measures. Methods Six towns were selected in Chengkou and Wuxi Counties to found suspected dementia patients born after first Jan, 1997. Two hundred children aged 8-10 years were investigated in every town. The thyroid volume, intelligence quotient(IQ) and urinary iodine of the children were examined. Forty women (pregnant and nursing women) were investigated in every town. The iodine content of salt from their home was measured. The thyroid volume was examined by palpation and B-uhrasound. IQ was measured by combined Raven Test in China(CRT-RC2). Urinary iodine was determined using the acid digest arsenic-cerium contacting method, and iodined salt was detected using direct titration method. Results Six suspected dementia patients were found in the local town hospital. Five eases were excluded. There was 1 case born in other place. The rates of goiter by palpation and B-ultrasound were 9.58%(92/960) and 8.89%(65/731), respectively. The median of urinary iodine of children and women was 319.15 μg/L and 248.42 μg/L, respectively. The mean of IQ of the children was 103.32. The coverage rate of iodine salt from residents was 98.82%(336/340). Conclusions The iodine nutrition of children was good and there is no newly occurred cretinism in Chengkou and Wuxi Counties. Goiter rate and median of urinary iodine aged 8-10 years and of women, coverage rate of iodine salt from resident has meet the standard set for basical elimination iodine deficiency disorders.
