Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterise the whole genome sequence of multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pluranimalium strain SP21-2 of swine origin in China.

Methods: Illumina Miseq (200X coverage) and Nanopore PromethION platform (100X coverage) were used for genome sequencing. Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology (RAST) was used to annotate the genome of SP21-2.

The aim of the present study is to explore the combination of dexmedetomidine (DXM) and tramadol (TMD) on sedative effect in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). A total of 356 patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) were randomly divided into three groups: DXM, TMD and DXM + TMD groups. These patients were treated with different doses of DXM, TMD or combination of DXM and TMD by a patient-controlled intravenous injection device.

Aim Of Study: Results on the association of Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) susceptibility from the present reports are still debating. This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association of VDR ApaI (rs7975232), BsmI (rs1544410), TaqI (rs731236), and Fok1 (rs2228570) gene polymorphisms with RCC risk.

Materials And Methods: The association studies were recruited from PubMed on May 1, 2016, and eligible reports were extracted and data were synthesized using meta-analysis method.

A variant strain of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus, designated "whn-1", was isolated and identified in China. The virus lacked haemagglutinating activity at 25, 37 and 4 degrees C, respectively, and gave negative results in the HAT after two passages in experimentally infected rabbits, but gave positive results in Agar Diffusion Reaction (ADR) and Counter Immunoelectrophoresis (CIE). Using electron microscopy, negatively stained particles of the RHDV isolate showed that the virions was approximately 35 nm in diameter.

The rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus of the family Caliciviridae with a high morbidity and mortality rates of about 90% in adult rabbits. A strain of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus named WHNRH was isolated and identified in the research. The genome of WHNRH was then sequenced.
