ABSTRACT:To understand the species distribution of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM ) in Fujian Province of China , we collected clinical Mycobacterium isolates in the Fuzhou Pulmonary Hospital from 2009 to 2012 .A total of 6 362 clinical My‐cobacteria isolates were identified as 5 713 (89 .8% ) M .tuberculosis complex and 649 (10 .2% ) NTM strains by conventional identification method .Then ,by means of hsp65‐and rpoB‐PCR‐RFLP methods ,649 NTM strains were identified as 24 spe‐cies or complex of NTM ,in which the top three species or complex with the highest occurrence frequency were M .intracellular , M .avium and M .abscessus ,accounting for 48 .5% ,21 .3% and 12 .5% respectively .The prevalence rate of NTM was 10 .2%among Mycobacterium culture‐positive patients .There are lots of NTM species infecting human being ,and the most prevalence NTM species was M .avium complex accounting for 67 .8% in Fujian Province .

s:Objective To explore the anatomical distribution characteristics of pelvic endometriosis lesion, size of the cyst, tissue ad-hesion degree and the correlation with the pain symptoms in patients with ovarian endometriosis cyst. Methods 342 cases of patients with o-varian endometriosis cyst who has underwent gynecologic laparoscopic surgical treatment in our hospital were selected as the research objects. According to the pain symptoms, they were divided into the pain group (195 cases) and the painless group (147 cases). The influence of cyst growth area and size on the pain symptoms were compared, and whether there were cyst adhesion and the relationship between adhesion area and pain were analyzed. Results The operation time of pain group was longer. The average operation time was 81. 2 min in pain group while it was 62. 1 min in painless group. The bleeding volum was 74. 3 mL in pain group which was higher than 56. 2 mL in the painless group. The average diameter of cyst was 11. 26 cm in the Pain group, and it was 6. 10 cm painless group. Rate of adhesions in patients of pain group was significantly higher than that of the painless group. Adhesion occured most frequently in ovary, followed by the fallopian tubes. Conclusion Pain symptoms have a close relation with cyst diameter and degree of surrounding tissue adhesion. As the cyst diameter get larger and the surrounding tissue adhesions grow broader, the pain symptoms would be more significant in patients .

The Mycobacterium chelonae/abscessus (M.chelonae/abscessus) complex belongs to the rapidly growing genus Mycobacterium (RGM).It is one of the most important pathogenic members of Mycobacterium leading to nosocomial infections and outbreaks.It includes members of M.chelonae,M.immnunogenum,M.abscessus,M.massiliense,and M.bolletii.In order to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of the M.chelonae/abscessus complex in China and to conduct the molecular methods for species identification of M.chelonae/abscessus,we collected clinical M.chelonae/abscessus complex strains identified by phenotypic tests.Members were verified by sequencing of 16S rRNA,Species and subspecies were identified by hsp65 and rpoB PCR RFLP methods.In total,27 clinical specimens were identified as Mycobacterium chelonae/abscessus complex by phenotypic tests.16s rRNA gene sequence analysis of all 27 clinical samples shared over 99.7％ similarity with M.chelonae and M.abscessus.Species identification with hsp65 PCR-RFLP and rpoB PCR-RFLP revealed that 18 specimens were M.abscessus and 4 were M.absecces.The remaining 5 samples displayed a pattern that failed to match any previously reported pattern.Thus,this might represent a novel species that is part of the Mycobacterium chelonae/abscessus complex.We identified that a majority of the chronic lung infection in China is caused by the M.chelonae/abscessus complex.Specifically,the M.abscessus species might be the most infectious,while other species in the complex can still cause infection.Interestingly,there may be a novel or previously unidentified species that is a part of the complex.Finally,we show that species identification can be carried out more accurately by combined use of hsp65 and rpoB PCR-RFLP.

OBJECTIVETo determine quercetin and kaempferol in the plant of genus Dysosma that come from different species, different plant parts or different growing areas, which provide the basis of rational utilization of Dysosma plants.

METHODThe analysis was performed on a Diamonsil C18 column (4.6 mm x 150 mm, 5 microm) eluted with the mobile phase of methanol-water containing 0.1% phosphoric acid (60:40). The flow rate was 1 mL x min(-1), the detection wavelength was 360 nm; and the column temperature was set at 25 degrees C.

RESULTThe linear ranges of quercetin and kaempferol are 0.22-1.1 microg and 0.42-2.1 microg. The average recoveries of quercetin and kaempferol are 97.1% (RSD 1.4%) and 99.6% (RSD 2.4%); respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe contents of flavones in different species of Dysosma are significantly different.
