Despite the current recognition of and as two separate valid species of China, neither species have been revised based on examination of their types and/or topotypical materials, nor have they genetically analyzed. In this study, examination of the holotype of showed that it has a serrated anterior edge of the pectoral spine, a slightly emarginate caudal fin, and longer maxillary barbels extending beyond the base of the pectoral spine, the characters shared with specimens currently identified as . Morphological comparisons and molecular analysis showed that specimens from mainland China, which are characterized by the three mentioned morphological features, represent a single species.

- Evidence suggests that the diversity of freshwater fish species, particularly bagrid species in South China, is underestimated in current taxonomy.
- A study conducted across 40 localities found nine distinct lineages, classifying them into eight geographic populations, leading to the identification of four recognized species and highlighting one new species with two genetically different lineages.
- The findings emphasize the importance of using molecular analysis alongside traditional methods for species identification and call for updated conservation strategies to protect the rich yet overlooked diversity of lowland fish.
Objective: To investigate the necessity of medication for patients with type Ⅲ prostatitis-like symptoms for less than 3 months.
Methods: We enrolled in this study 171 outpatients with type Ⅲ prostatitis-like symptoms for less than 3 months in our hospital from November 2016 to October 2017, and randomly divided them into groups A (n = 57), B (n = 57) and C (n = 57). The patients of group A received tamsulosin, levofloxacin and health education, those of group B tamsulosin and health education, and those of group C health education only.
Objectives: To investigate the effects of antihypertensive drugs on the erectile function and number of nNOS-containing nerve fibers in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHRs).
Methods: Eighteen male SHRs of six-weeks old were randomized into three groups: Vilsartan intervention group, Aldactone intervention group and control group. Vilsartan [30 mg/(kg.
