This study aimed to investigate the effects of sweet potato leaf extract on production per-formance,systematic and mammary gland oxidative stress status and rumen microbiota of dairy goats fed high concentrate diets.Twenty Guanzhong dairy goats with same parity,similar lactation period(120±15)d and healthy body condition were selected and randomly divided into four groups:low-concentrate(LC),low-concentrate supplemented with 1%sweet potato leaf extract(LCS),high-concentrate(HC)and high-concentrate supplemented with 1%sweet potato leaf ex-tract(HCS).The experimental period was 35 days.The results showed that in the third week,milk yield in the HCS group was significantly higher than that in the LC and LCS groups(P<0.05).The content of lipopolysaccharide in the rumen fluid of the HC group was significantly higher than that of the other three groups(P<0.05),the content of malondialdehyde in the serum of the HC group was significantly higher than that of the LCS group(P<0.05),the content of reactive oxygen species,protein carbonyl,8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine in the milk of the HC group was sig-nificantly higher than that of the LC and LCS groups(P<0.05),GSH-Px in HCS group was sig-nificantly higher than that in the other three groups(P<0.05).After the addition of sweet potato leaf extract,there was an increasing trend in the content of Anabaena phylum at the phylum level.In the joint analysis of genera,rumen fluid LPS showed highly significant negative correlation with Succiniclasticum(P<0.01)and negative correlation with Prevotella(P<0.05).Valeric acid was negatively correlated with Prevotella(P<0.05).The pH value was negatively correlated with Treponema(P<0.05).Butyric acid was positively correlated with Anaeroplasma(P<0.05).In conclusion,the addition of sweet potato leaf extract to the diet can increase milk production and al-leviate the state of mammary gland oxidative stress,as well as improving rumen microbial diversi-ty of dairy goats.

Objective:To clarify the elements of post competency of public health professionals and technical personnel, and construct a post competency index system of public health professionals and technical personnel.Methods:Referring to the Hay Group Competency Dictionary and literature review method, the post competency information elements of public health professional and technical personnel were constructed, and were revised through the expert consultation method. Unit-level stratified sampling was used, and 120 public health professionals were invited to evaluate the importance of the elements. SPSS 26.0 was used for data analysis, the continuous data were expressed in ( x ± s) mode, and Pearson was used to study the degree of correlation of each dimension. Finally, the post competency index system for public health positions was constructed by using the factor analysis method to extract the common factor as the first-level index. Results:The index system contained 7 first-level indicators (43 items), including public health practice skills, clinical practice skills, professional basic subject knowledge, personal professional accomplishment, public health authority and management ability, public health leadership, and public health methodology knowledge. Its weight coefficients (%) were 20.03, 17.48, 15.89, 15.68, 13.98, 12.82 and 4.11, respectively. The elements with the highest materiality scores were personal protection, responsibility and professionalism.Conclusion:Personal protection and other public health practical skills and personal professional qualities such as sense of responsibility and professionalism are the core elements of public health positions, and it is recommended to strengthen the training of public health professionals' public health practical skills in actual work, and pay attention to the cultivation of personal professional qualities, so as to establish a better team of public health talents.

OBJECTIVE:
To carry out prenatal diagnosis for a fetus with normal ultrasonographic finding at 20 weeks' gestation but a copy number variant(CNV) of 13q indicated by non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT).
METHODS:
Karyotyping analysis and chromosomal CNV assay were carried out on the amniotic fluid sample. Parental peripheral blood sample was collected for chromosomal analysis. Detailed fetal ultrasound scan was carried out to rule out structural abnormalities of the fetus.
RESULTS:
The fetus was detected with a heterozygous 10.14 Mb deletion at 13q21.1q21.32, which has originated from the phenotypically normal mother. No apparent karyotypic abnormality was detected in the fetus and its parents. No ultrasonic abnormality was found in the fetus.
CONCLUSION
Both the fetus and its mother have carried a heterozygous 10.14 Mb deletion at 13q21.1q21.32 and presented normal phenotypes.Combined with literature review, the segmental deletion was judged to be a benign variant.

Three new coumarins, integmarins A-C (1-3), and a new coumarin glycoside, integmaside A (4) were isolated from the leaves and stems of Micromelum integerrimum. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR and MS data, and their absolute configurations were assigned according to the ECD data of the in situ formed transition metal complexes and comparison of experimental and calculated ECD data. Compounds 1 and 2 are two rare coumarins with butyl and propyl moieties at the C-6 position; compound 3 is a novel coumarin with a highly oxidized prenyl group, and compound 4 is a rare bisdihydrofuranocoumarin glycoside.

Objective:To explore the value of 3D/4D translabial ultrasound in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of female urethral diverticulum.Methods:The paired chi-square test was used to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 2D translabial ultrasound and 3D/4D translabial ultrasound in 21 suspected urethral diverticulum patients who visited the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from November 2013 to January 2020. And Kappa consistency test was used to evaluate the consistency between these two methods and the pathological results.Results:All 21 patients with suspected urethral diverticulum were diagnosed by postoperative pathology, of which 16 cases were urethral diverticula and 5 cases were paraurethral cysts. The typical appearance of urethral diverticulum on 3D/4D translabial ultrasound was a cystic structure traversing the urethral rhabdosphincter. Additionally, septa, calcification or solid neoplasm can also be seen in some cases. The sensitivity/specificity of 2D translabial ultrasound and 3D/4D translabial ultrasound were 75.00%/100% and 93.75%/100%, respectively, no statistical differences were found both in sensitivity and specificity between these two methods(all P>0.05). The Kappa consistency test showed that the consistency between 2D translabial ultrasound and pathological diagnosis was general (Kappa=0.588, P=0.003), while the consistency between 3D/4D translabial ultrasound and pathological diagnosis was good (Kappa=0.877, P<0.001). Conclusions:3D/4D translabial ultrasound has a high value in the diagnosis of female urethral diverticulum, and it is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the impact of an infant formula supplemented with 1.34 g/L oligosaccharides mixture (galactooligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides,GOS+FOS) on growth,stool characteristics and fecal beneficial bacteria content in healthy infants.Methods 25 formula-fed (FF) infants and 29 breast-fed (BF) infants within 3 weeks after birth were included and followed up.FF infants were exclusively fed with GOS+FOS supplemented formula at the median age of 13d (1-27d).Body weight and head circumference at 6 and 12 weeks were measured.The frequency,consistency,and color of the infant's stool,and occurrences of spit-up or vomiting during the study period were recorded daily by the parents.Stool samples were collected at 6 and 12 weeks of age,and then subjected to quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assays for the enumeration of lactobacillus,bifidobacteria,Bifidobacterium longum,Bifidobacterium breve and Bifidobacterium adolescentis.Results No difference in daily weight gain was detected between the two groups (33.56 ± 7.03g vs.31.18 + 6.91g,P=0.22)during the observation phase from 6 to 12 weeks.FF infants had less frequent and firmer stools at 6 weeks than BF infants,and they both had similar stool frequency,color and consistency at the end of study.FF infants had less fecal Bifidobacterium,B.longum and B.breve at 6 weeks,but those differences became less significant at 12 weeks with more increase in fecal B.longum and B.breve levels in FF infants during the follow up.Conclusions The GOS+FOS supplemented formula provides adequate nutrition for growth,and promotes soft stools and intestinal bifidogenic effects in healthy infants.
