Objective A new method is researched based on ECG for human identification.Methods Three features of wave feature,wavelet feature,fusion feature were selected as the feature vectors for 35 normal subject ECGs,and correlation coefficient discriminate analysis was used for human identification. Results The other 40 sessions from 35 subjects were used for verifying the accuracy of each feature.They were 82.5%、87.5% and 95% respectively for wave feature,wavelet feature and fusion feature. ECG wavelet feature outperformed ECG wave feature. While ECG fusion feature performed better than either feature. Conclusion The verification experiment demonstrates that the technology of human identification based on ECG is feasible. ECG can be combined with other biometric features such as fingerprint for developing the multi-biometric identification system. The method proposed in this paper is simple,real-time and exact for human identification.

AIM: To establish a sensitive HPLC method for determining the concentrations of paeonol in human plasma and to evaluate its pharmacokinetic characteristics. METHODS: A single oral dose of 160 mg paeonol capsules was given to 24 Chinese healthy volunteers. Paeonol was separated on a XB-C18 column with tetrahydrofuran-methanol-water-phosphonic acid (6∶60∶34∶0.1, V∶V) as mobile phase. The plasma concentrations of paeonol were determined and its pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and evaluated using DAS 2.0. RESULTS: The linear range of the paeonol was 10-500 ng/mL and the determination limit was 10 ng/mL. The main pharmacokinetic parameters, as Cmax, tmax, t1/2,AUC0-3, AUC0-∞ after a single dose of paeonol capsules were (116±46)ng/mL,(1.02±0.13) h,(1.03±0.35) h, (174±45) ng/mL, (217±56) ng/mL,respectively. CONCLUSION: The HPLC method for determining paeonol concentration in plasma is rapid, sensitive and suitable for pharmacokinetic studies.

Objective To identify new microsatellite loci from genome sequence database for the study of poly-morphicsm of Schistosoma japonicum. Methods Schistosoma japonicum isolates were obtained from seven endemic sites in China: Tongling and Guichi counties of Anhui Province, Duchang county of Jiangxi Province, Changde and Yueyang Cities of Hunan Province, Shashi City of Hubei Province, Xichang City of Sichuan Province. In order to study the genetic variance, genomic DNAs of 96 individual adult worms were screened against 17 new Schistosoma japonicum microsatellites and the raw data were analyzed by GenMapper 4.0. Furthermore, the varieties of alleles were inverstigated using GenAlEx 6 and genetic distances within a subpopulation (GenClone) and among populations(UPGMA, MEGA 3.1) were analyzed. Results High levels of polymorphism were found between and within population samples, and significant genetic diversity was observed among the seven subpopulations.Within Jiangxi population, most genetic distances (17 loci) among samples range from 25 to 32, indicating a significant genetic diversity. There are three clusters among the seven populations: Jiangxi, Tonglin, Shashi and Changde population, with the genetics distances ranging from 0.017 8 to 0.036 3; Guichi and Yueyang population belong to another cluster, with the genetic distance of 0.024 7; However, Xichang population is an unique group. Its genetic distances to other populations are notable with a range from 0.019 2 to 0.069 3. Conclusion The 17 new polymorphic microsatellites identified may be used as suitable markers for the study on population genetics of Schistosoma japonicum and the genetic variance of the worms seems to be complicated.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical significance of highly sensitive nucleic acid detection in precise antiviral therapy for patients with liver cirrhosis and its association with aminotransferase level. MethodsA total of 377 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis who were hospitalized or attended the outpatient service from May 2013 to April 2019 were enrolled and tested by both domestic HBV DNA detection and highly sensitive Cobas HBV DNA detection. All patients underwent biochemical examination, four blood coagulation tests, routine blood test, and upper abdominal computed tomography or ultrasound. Sensitivity of different HBV DNA detection reagents was compared in liver cirrhosis patients with a low viral load, and the correlation between alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level and viral load was analyzed. The paired t-test was used for comparison of continuous data before and after treatment. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to screen out the optimal predictive values of ALT at different cut-off values of HBV DNA. ResultsAmong the 377 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis, 215 tested positive and 162 tested negative by domestic HBV DNA, and among these 162 patients, 104 (64.2%) tested positive by Cobas HBV DNA detection, with a mean level of 267.5±42.3 IU/ml. After 24 weeks of antiviral therapy, the 104 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis had significant improvements in viral replication level, ALT, and Child-Pugh score for liver function; HBV DNA decreased from 267.5±32.2 IU/ml before treatment to 59.6±7.7 IU/ml after treatment (t=3.486, P=0.002), ALT decreased from 871±10.8 U/L before treatment to 36.5±7.6 U/L after treatment (t=3.235, P=0.020), and the Child-Pugh score decreased from 6.5±0.7 before treatment to 5.7±0.5 after treatment (t=2.928, P=0.041). The ROC curve analysis of ALT in predicting HBV DNA decision point showed that an ALT level of 29 IU/L was the most sensitive cut-off value for predicting HBV DNA <20 IU/ml, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.904, a sensitivity of 1.0, and a specificity of 0.237. ConclusionPrecise detection helps to guarantee the precise clinical treatment of patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis and improve their treatment outcome and prognosis. An ALT level of 29 IU/L is a sensitive indicator for predicting patients with negative Cobas HBV DNA, so as to achieve individualized precise screening and treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ditching for drain on the control of the breed of Oncomelania hupensis snails in beaches of Dongting Lake. Methods From November,2009 to November,2012,an O. hupensis snail infested beach of the Yueyang jail and an O. hupensis snail infested beach of Junshan District were selected as research fields in the eastern Dongting Lake area,and the former,as the intervention field,was performed with the ditching for drain by excavators and the latter,as the control field,was not. Results Before the project implemented,the average soil moisture contents on the beaches in dry seasons of the two fields were both about 35.56%. After the project implemented,in the intervention field,the average soil mois?ture content was 26.53%which was significantly lower than that(35.56%)in the control field(F=6.53,P<0.05). The under?ground water levels in different heights in the intervention field were lower than those in the control field (χ2 = 33.33,P <0.05). Before the project implemented,the natural death rates of the snails were 0.98%and 0.89%in the two research fields re?spectively(P>0.05),and after the project implemented(in 2012),no adult and young snails were found in the interventional field,but in the control field,the average densities of living snails and young snails were 29.37 snails/0.1 m2 and 213±108.45 snails/0.1 m2 respectively. Conclusion The intervention of ditching for drain can decrease the soil moisture contents quickly and change the ecological condition,therefore,can control the breed of O. hupensis snails in the beaches of Dongting Lake.
