Objective To establish a method for detecting Aspergillus spp.by Loop-mediated isothermal amplification.Methods Aspergillus spp.specific primers were designed from the relative conservation region of the published sequence of 28S rRNA genes of A.fumigatus (GenBank accession number AY660917),A.terreus (GenBank accession number AF454183),A.flavus (GenBank accession number AF454158),and A.niger (GenBank accession number AF454169).Genomic DNA were extracted from Aspergillus standard strains,clinical control strains and clinical samples,and amplified by LAMP.The amplified results could be read with the naked eye by the coloring effect of fluorescent nucleotide dye without the DNA electrophoresis.Approximately 103 each Aspergillus conidia suspension was added to the serum from healthy volunteers,and detected these simulative clinical samples bv LAMP assay.Results The LAMP and PCR assays obtained positive results for all four Aspergillus species and 8 simulative clinical samples (double samples for each Aspergillus species) including 103 conidia,but negative in the remaining 15 non-Aspergillus species,human total blood genomic DNA,30 clinical serum samples infected with non-Aspergillus and 10 healthy volunteers.The LAMP assay had a minimum detection of 0.05-0.5pg,by means of detect different levels of 500,50,5,0.5,0.05 pg template in each reaction tube.Conclusion The results confirm that LAMP is a simple,rapid,sensitive and specific method,and can be used for detection of Aspergillus strains in clinical and environmental specimens.

Objective:To develop a qualitative analysis model for the fast identification of Dens Draconis and its adulterants by NIR correlation coefficient method. Methods:On the basis of the traditional morphological identification, the spectra were collected u-sing the fiber accessory of a near-infrared spectroradiometer. The reference spectra were set up using the NIR spectra of certified Dens Draconis. The characteristic spectral section was chosen and the appropriate threshold was set to establish a qualitative analysis model for the rapid identification of Dens Draconis and its adulterant. Results:The spectral section of 5 000-4 200 cm-1 was selected as the characteristic spectral section, the correlation coefficient of Dens Draconis and its adulterant was calculated in training set samples, and 92. 67% was used as the threshold. Totally 10 batches of validation set samples were validated the qualitative analysis model, and the prediction accuracy was 90%. Conclusion:The method has good prediction ability, and can be used in the rapid identification of Dens Draconis and its adulterant.

Objective To compare the quality of life ( QOL) in different family life cycle residents and analyze its influencing factors. Methods Based on the stratified cluster sampling,517 married residents from three communities of Dongguan city were chosen to be investigated by a questionnaire on the general status and the MOS health survey (SF-36).The One-Way ANOVA and Multiple Regression Analysis were used to analyze the data. Result There were significant differences on the seven domains of the SF-36 ex-cept of physical pain in different family life cycle residents (P<0.05) . The scores of different domains at the retirement or senior years were the lowest ( ranging from 37.10-59.81) ,and the scores of different domains at the child-bearing period were highest (ranging from 37.10-59.81). The results of Multiple Linear Stepwise Regression showed that the QOL of different family life cycle residents were influenced by some factors. The influencing factors on PCS at the child-bearing period were income (β=1.51) and life events (β=-6.13), while that at the period of families with adolescents were economic income (β=1.81) and age (β=-0.65);that at the period of empty nest were economic income (β=-3.64) and age (β=-0.65);and that at the re-tirement or senior years were unhealthy living habit (β=-15.06),age (β=-0.56) and income (β=3.06). The influencing factors on MCS at the child-bearing period was medical insurance (β=5.86),while that at the period of families with adolescents were medical insurance (β=6.28),education (β=2.32),life events (β=-4.68) and occupation (β=-5.53);that at the period of the empty nest were age (β=-0.61) ,gender (β=-10.35) and chronic disease (β=-8.35);that at the retirement or senior years were age (β=-0.27) , economic income (β=2.55) and unhealthy living habit (β=-6.95) . Conclusion The influencing factors of QOL for different family cycle residents are not conformity with each other. It suggested that in order to im-prove the QOL of residents, the community health service including health education and health promotion should be based on different family life cycle.
