The Morphological and Biochemical Components of Resistance in Field Bean against Pod Borers

AbstractEarly detection of cervical lesions, accurate diagnosis of cervical lesions, and timely and effective therapy can effectively avoid the occurrence of cervical cancer or improve the survival rate of patients. In this paper, the spectra of tissue sections of cervical inflammation (n = 60), CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) I (n = 30), CIN II (n = 30), CIN III (n = 30), cervical squamous cell carcinoma (n = 30), and cervical adenocarcinoma (n = 30) were collected by a confocal Raman micro-spectrometer (LabRAM HR Evolution, Horiba France SAS, Villeneuve d’Ascq, France). The Raman spectra of six kinds of cervical tissues were analyzed, the dominant Raman peaks of different kinds of tissues were summarized, and the differences in chemical composition between the six tissue samples were compared. An independent sample t test (p ≤ 0.05) was used to analyze the difference of average relative intensity of Raman spectra of six types of cervical tissues. The difference of relative intensity of Raman spectra of six kinds of tissues can reflect the difference of biochemical components in six kinds of tissues and the characteristic of biochemical components in different kinds of tissues. The classification models of cervical inflammation, CIN I, CIN II, CIN III, cervical squamous cell carcinoma, and cervical adenocarcinoma were established by using a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. Six types of cervical tissues were classified and identified with an overall diagnostic accuracy of 85.7%. This study laid a foundation for the application of Raman spectroscopy in the clinical diagnosis of cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer.

AbstractBlood specimens from primary care centres are normally transported to central laboratories by mail. This necessitates centrifugation and separation, especially since the potassium ion concentration in whole blood changes during storage at ambient temperature. Thus, because of the growing awareness of and concern for pre-analytical contributions to the uncertainty of measurements, we investigated 27 components and their stability under controlled temperature conditions from 17 to 23°C. We found that storage of whole blood can be prolonged by up to 8–12h for all components examined, including potassium ions, when stored at 20±0.2°C. We conclude that this opens the possibility for establishing a pick-up service, by which whole blood specimens stored at 20–21°C can be collected at the doctor's office, making centrifugation, separation and mailing superfluous. In addition, the turn-around time from sample drawing to reporting the analytical result would be shortened. After investments in thermostatted boxes and logistics, the system could reduce costs for transporting blood samples from general practice centres to central laboratories.

Cage Test

AbstractA study was carried out to investigate the behavioural components of resistance in the Standlake strain of Musca domestica Linnaeus. The flies were collected from a poultry unit where azamethiphos spray-on-bait (Alfacron), had been regularly used to control the fly population. A no-choice laboratory cage test was used to observe the responses of the Standlake resistant strain to baits and compare it with two other strains namely, Sparsholt resistant and Cooper susceptible. The baits used were, Alfacron, sugar and analytical grade azamethiphos, sugar alone, and a blank target as control. Only female flies were used, each strain was exposed separately to each bait over a 50 minute period and the responses were recorded with a datalogger. The responses (per fly) recorded during each test period were: the number of visits to a bait; the time spent on a bait; the number of feeds and time spent feeding on the bait defined as the number of proboscis contacts and the length of time of proboscis contact with the bait. Knockdown of flies was recorded at the end of each test. All strains showed differences in their responses to baits. The Standlake strain showed the greatest difference to responses to Alfacron, with inhibition of proboscis extension when flies landed on the bait and a lower proboscis contact when extended, resulting in fewer flies being knocked down by Alfacron than by the sugar and azamethiphos bait. This suggested that inhibition of feeding on the Alfacron bait by the Standlake strain was caused by formulation components or contaminants and not the active insecticide ingredient, azamethiphos.
