This study aims to investigate the epidemic variation of porcine circovirus type2(PCV2)and its distribution in swine farms in Henan Province from 2022 to 2023.In this study,1 206 pig blood samples from 18 urban scale swine farms,and 318 pigs and environmental samples from 2 PCV2-positive swine farms in Henan Province were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR.ORF2 gene sequencing and genetic evolution analysis were performed on the positive samples.The results showed that the positive rate of PCV2 was 7.05％(85/1 206)in Henan Province,11.15％in western Henan Province and 3.03％in southern Henan Province.The positive rate of PCV2 in spring was 11.60％(67/576).A total of 31 ORF2 gene sequences were obtained,of which 23 were PCV2d(74.19％),6 were PCV2a(19.35％),one was PCV2b(3.23％)and one was PCV2c(3.23％).The results of amino acid sequence comparison showed that the mutation sites mainly concentrated on amino acids at positions 40-68 and 180-209.The total positive rate of pig farm sam-ples was 37.42％(119/318),and the positive rate of pig samples from different types of pig houses was 60.71％(34/56),45.83％(11/24),35.09％(20/57),and 33.33(3/9)in order from high to low.The positive rate of environmental samples from high to low was 56.36％(31/55)in feeding system,46.67％(7/15)in feces system,12.50(1/8)in decontamination area,11.11％(2/18)in living area,and no PCV2 was detected in ventilation system.The highest positive rate was 45.00％(9/20)for the tools in the house,7.14％(1/14)for the surface and sole of the clothes after leaving the house,and no PCV2 was detected on the surface and sole of the clothes before entering the house.In this study,the epidemiological investigation of PCV2 in Henan Province and its distribu-tion in swine farms were carried out,and the main circulating strains,seasons,regions and gene mutations of PCV2 in H enan Province were identified.The distribution and transmission routes of PCV2 in positive pig farms were preliminarily analyzed and summarized,which provided data basis and reference for effective prevention and control of PCV and the establishment of accurate bio-safety prevention and control measures.

Phosphodiesterases (PDE) are a group of enzymes that can hydrolyze cyclic nucleotides. It is composed of 11 gene related isozyme families (PDE1-PDE11). Due to the diversity of isozymes, PDE distribute in different cells and sub-cells, regulate different intracellular signals and become an important target in intracellular signal pathway. Studies have shown that PDE inhibitor plays an important role in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility and related gastrointestinal diseases. This article reviewed the role and research progress of PDE inhibitor in gastrointestinal tract.

OBJECTIVETo assess the value of karyotype analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) assay for the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

METHODSThe karyotypes of 122 initially treated MDS patients were analyzed with conventional R-banding and FISH using probes including GLP CSF1R/D5S23, D5S721, GLP EGR1/D5S23, D5S721, GLP D7S486/CSP7, GLP D7S522/CSP7, GLP D20S108, CSP8 and CSP X/Y.

RESULTSThe detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities was 54.9% for the 122 patients. Among these, those involving 3 or more chromosomes are most common (16.4%), followed by +8(14.8%), -7/7q-(7.4%), -5/5q-(5.7%), 20q-(2.5%), and -Y in male patients (5.0%). Two MDS-RAEB II patients detected with t(8;21) should be diagnosed with acute myelocytic leukemia. FISH analysis showed that 54 patients were positive (44.3%). Among these, 30.3% had CSP8 amplification, followed by GLP D7S486/CSP7 and GLP D7S522/CSP7 deletion (12.3%), GLP CSF1R/D5S23, D5S721 and GLP EGR1/D5S23, D5S721 deletion (9.8%), GLP D20S108 deletion (7.4%), and CSPX/Y deletion (5%).

CONCLUSIONWith a detection rate of 54.9%, R-banding still constitutes the basic examination for MDS. As detection of interstitial chromosomal abnormalities in MDS can be greatly enhanced by FISH, combined karyotype analysis and FISH can improve the diagnosis of MDS and facilitate assessment of its prognosis.
