To study the complete genomic sequence, genomic characteristics, and genetic variation of the bovine papillomavirus 2 genotype (BPV-2) Aks-01 strain at the molecular level, genotyping of this strain from the skin samples of cows in southern Xinjiang (China) was first detected by the polymerase chain reaction with FAP59/FAP64 primers. Based on the complete genome of the BPV-2 reference strain, specific primers and sequencing primers were designed, and the complete genome of the Aks-01 strain amplified and sequenced. Sequence analyses showed that genotyping of the Aks-01 strain belonged to BPV-2. The Aks-01 strain had the structural characteristics of BPV-2. The 7944-bp full-length genomic sequence of the Aks-01 strain was compiled using DNAStar™. The sequence of the Aks-01 strain had 98% similarity to the reference strain from GenBank. The Aks-01 strain was most closely related to BPV-1 and BPV-13. BPV-2, BPV-1 and BPV-13 were grouped within the genus Deltapapillomavirus. The Aks-01 strain is the first BPV-2 strain reported in southern Xinjiang.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of tuberculosis among silicosis patients and silica exposure patients,and to analysis the risk factors of tuberculosis among these population.Methods A total of 1 227 silica exposure patients from Wenling,Zhejiang were enrolled in this field study.Basic demographic information was collected and chest X-ray was taken for each patient.Sputum was collected for Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture and strain identification. In univariate analysis,t test was performed for continuous variables andχ2 test for categorical variables.In multivariate analysis,the odds ratio (OR )was calculated along with a 95 % confidence interval (CI )by binary Logistic regression. Results A total of 1 204 silica exposure patients had full basic information and 99.8% were male patients with mean age of (59.4 ± 6.8 )years.The patients in phase 0 + to phase Ⅲ were 172 (14.3%),255 (21 .2%),160 (13.3%)and 617 (51 .2%),respectively.The tuberculosis prevalence rate was about 7.3% among these population.The risk factors for tuberculosis including phase Ⅱ silicosis (OR =2.96, 95 %CI :1 .05 -8.32,P =0.04)and phase Ⅲ silicosis (OR=3.88,95 %CI :1 .58-9.56,P <0.01),and contacting with tuberculosis patients (OR=4.14,95 %CI :1 .91 -8.98,P <0.01).Patients complicated with tuberculosis lacked specific symptoms,but fever and weight loss were more frequent.Conclusion Tuberculosis is highly prevalent in silicotic patients,especially in patients with phase Ⅱ/Ⅲ silicosis and in patients with tuberculosis contact history.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the processing technology of honey bran-fried Atractylodis Rhizoma, and to compare the anti-gastric ulcer effect before and after processing. METHODS Combing with entropy-weight and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution model, L(9 34) orthogonal experiment design was adopted to optimize the processing technology of honey bran-fried Atractylodis Rhizoma using the comprehensive score of the contents of atractylone, β-cineole, atractylenolide Ⅲ and atractylodine as evaluation index, using the ratio of excipients to medicine, frying temperature and frying time as factors. The validation tests were conducted. The gastric ulcer model of mice was induced by intragastrical administration of anhydrous ethanol; using Compound aluminum hydroxide tablet as positive control, anti-gastric ulcer effect of Atractylodis Rhizoma was compared with that of honey bran-fried Atractylodis Rhizoma using the contents of serum inflammatory factors [interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)], ulcer index and inhibitory rate of gastric ulcer as evaluation indexes. RESULTS The optimal processing technology of honey bran-fried Atractylodis Rhizoma was as follows:ratio of adjuvant and medicinal materials of 3∶10 (g/g), frying temperature at 140 ℃ and frying time of 4 min. Results of 3 validation tests showed that the contents of 4 components (including atractylone), in honey bran-fried Atractylodis Rhizoma processed by the optimal technology kept stable (RSDs were 3.47%-5.80%, n=3); the comprehensive scores were 95.53%-95.89% (RSD=0.21%, n=3). Atractylodis Rhizoma and honey bran-fried Atractylodis Rhizoma could increase the serum content of IL-2 in mice, but reduce serum contents of IL-6 and TNF-α to varying degrees; honey bran-fried Atractylodis Rhizoma could significantly decrease its ulcer indexes (P<0.05 or P< 0.01); the improvement effect of honey bran-fried Atractylodis Rhizoma on the above indicators was generally better than that of the same dosage of Atractylodis Rhizoma (P<0.05 or P< 0.01). The inhibitory rates of low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose Atractylodis Rhizoma and honey bran-fried Atractylodis Rhizoma to gastric ulcer in mice were 9.18%, 19.30%, 30.70%, and 50.32%, 61.39%, 53.16%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The optimal processing technology of honey bran-fried Atractylodis Rhizoma is stable and feasible, and the anti-gastric ulcer effect of Atractylodis Rhizoma has been enhanced after being fried with honey bran.
