Alfalfa(Medicago sativa L.)is the most important legume forage crop worldwide with high nutritional value and yield.For a long time,the breeding of alfalfa was hampered by lacking reliable information on the autotetraploid genome and molecular markers linked to important agro-nomic traits.We herein reported the de novo assembly of the allele-aware chromosome-level genome of Zhongmu-4,a cultivar widely cultivated in China,and a comprehensive database of genomic variations based on resequencing of 220 germplasms.Approximate 2.74 Gb contigs(N50 of 2.06 Mb),accounting for 88.39%of the estimated genome,were assembled,and 2.56 Gb contigs were anchored to 32 pseudo-chromosomes.A total of 34,922 allelic genes were identified from the allele-aware genome.We observed the expansion of gene families,especially those related to the nitrogen metabolism,and the increase of repetitive elements including transposable elements,which probably resulted in the increase of Zhongmu-4 genome compared with Medicago truncatula.Population structure analysis revealed that the accessions from Asia and South America had rela-tively lower genetic diversity than those from Europe,suggesting that geography may influence alfalfa genetic divergence during local adaption.Genome-wide association studies identified 101 sin-gle nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)associated with 27 agronomic traits.Two candidate genes were predicted to be correlated with fall dormancy and salt response.We believe that the allele-aware chromosome-level genome sequence of Zhongmu-4 combined with the resequencing data of the diverse alfalfa germplasms will facilitate genetic research and genomics-assisted breeding in variety improvement of alfalfa.

Objective To explore knowledge-attitude-practice of the pelvic floor muscle function training in puerperium women and the current situation of its needs, providing reference for carrying on clinical propaganda and education of the puerperal pelvic floor rehabilitation and therapies. Methods The self-designed"Pelvic Floor Muscle Function Training Knowledge-Attitude-Practice and Its Needs in Puerperium Women Questionnaire"was applied. One hundred and fifty lying-in women who were enrolled for the reexamination at 42 days after delivery in the out-patient service of the department of obstetrics and gynecology in Beijing classⅢ grade A hospital from April to June 2017 were investigated with the questionnaire. Results The incidence of puerperium urinary leakage was 14.7%. The occurrence of pelvic floor dysfunction disease in lying-in women after delivery was significantly different in women with different delivery methods (P< 0.05). The occurrence of pelvic floor dysfunction disease in lying-in women after delivery was not significantly different in women with different delivery times (P>0.05). The total score of the pelvic floor muscle function training knowledge-attitude-practice in puerperium women was(66.6±11.97), which was at the middle level. The knowledge score, the attitude score and the practice score of the pelvic floor muscle function training were significantly different in the lying-in women with different baseline data and different pregnant and puerperal status (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the total score (P>0.05). There were 83.3% of lying-in women who would like to understand the related knowledge of the pelvic floor muscle function training. There were 72.0% of lying-in women who preferred the animated video mode for propaganda and education. Conclusions The level of lying-in women' pelvic floor muscle function training knowledge-attitude-practice needs strengthening. It is imperative to establish and improve the propaganda and education system of the puerperal pelvic floor muscle function rehabilitation.

Objective To observe over-time changes in rat blood flow in the skins of related meridian points during physiological status, the pathological state of ischemic myocardial injury and low or high frequency electroacupuncture intervention and explore the post effect of different frequency electroacupuncture on related meridian points after treating ischemic myocardial injury. Method Fifty male Wister rats were randomized into five groups: blank control, sham operation, model, low frequency electroacupuncture (meridian point A) and high frequency electroacupuncture (meridian point B), 10 rats each. Blood flow in the skins of bilateral points Neiguan (PC6), Ximen (PC4) and Tianquan (PC2), and non-meridian and non-acupoint control points was measured by laser speckle contrast imaging in every group immediately and at 30 and 60 min after the end of three treatments. Statistical analysis was made. Result Blood flow in the skins of bilateral points Neiguan, Ximen and Tianquan was significantly lower in the blank control group than in the model group (P<0.01,P<0.05). Blood flow in the skin of every acupoint increased in varing degrees after low or high frequency electroacupuncture treatment. Blood flow in bilateral points Neiguan, Ximen and Tianquan regions in meridian point group A was closer to that in the blank control group immediately after treatment. Blood flow in three left-side and three right-side acupoint regions in meridian point group B was closer to that in the blank control group at 30 and 60 min, respectively, after treatment. Conclusion The immediate effect of low frequency electroacupuncture on blood flow in acupoint regions is better than high frequency electroacupuncture during intervention in ischemic myocardial injury. The post effect of high frequency electroacupuncture on blood flow in acupoint regions is better than low frequency electroacupuncture during intervention in ischemic myocardial injury.
