Caprine enterovirus(CEV)is one of the most important infectious diarrheal diseases for goats.In order to understand the prevalence of CEV in different areas of Jiangsu province,410 goat fecal samples(212 diarrhea and 198 non-diarrhea samples)were collected from goat farms in 8 re-gions.127 CEV positive samples were detected by RT-PCR,and the positive rates varied greatly from 12.50%to 62.50%among different areas,with a total positive rate as 30.98%.Through the significance analysis of the positive rate of diarrhea and non-diarrhea samples,CEV was found to be one of the important pathogens causing diarrhea in goats.The results of homology and genetic evolution analysis for the 5'-UTR sequences showed that the EV-G5、G7、G21、G22 and G23 were epidemic types in Jiangsu province,and G21-G23 are new found CEV types.The homologies of 5'-UTR,VP1 and 2AB genes with the classical CEV strains in China were 78.6%-95.8%,56.9%-95.0%and 77.9%-98.4%,respectively.Of these sequences,the 5'-UTR and 2AB gene of HaiMen-SJH strain was significantly different from other sequences,and belonged to an independent branch in the genetic evolution trees.According to the results of epidemiological survey,the infection of CEV was widespread in most areas of Jiangsu province,and the epidemic types and situation varied in different areas.This study will enrich the epidemiological data of CEV in China,and provide the-oretical basis for the targeted prevention and control of new enterovirus infections in sheep.

OBJECTIVE To establish and apply a method for simultaneous determination of the contents of dicentrine, protopine and coptisine in Tibetan Corydalis pallida of different origins, and to provide reference for origin determination and quality control of the kind of medicinal materials. METHODS Ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry method was used. The determination was performed on Agilent EC-C18 column (100 mm×2.1 mm, 2.7 μm) with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid by gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.2 mL/min, and the column temperature was set at 35 ℃ . MS detection was carried out by electrospray ionization in positive modes, multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for quantitative analysis. RESULTS The injection mass concentrations of dicentrine, protopine, coptisine ranged from 5.88 to 117.60, 53.70 to 1 074.00, and 4.85 to 97.00 ng/mL, respectively, showing a good linear relationship with their respective peak areas (r=0.998 2, 0.991 9, and 0.999 6, respectively). The limits of quantitation were 2.35, 1.07 and 1.46 ng/mL; the limits of detection were 1.17, 0.54, 0.49 ng/mL, respectively. RSDs of precision, stability (24 h) and repeatability tests were all lower than 2.0%. The average recovery rates were 97.41%, 98.89% and 105.44%( all RSDs<5.0%, n=6). CONCLUSIONS The established method has good selectivity and high accuracy, and is suitable for the rapid analysis of dicentrine, protopine and coptisine in Corydalis. The total contents of three alkaloids in different original medicinal materials are from high to low in order of C. chrysosphaera, C. mucronifera, C. pygmaea, C. hendersonii and C. conspersa. The alkaloid contents in C. chrysosphaera and C. mucronifera are relatively similar, but no dicentrine has been detected in C. conspersa and C. hendersonii.
