Methods: Hakka male patients, who received clinical counselling for infertility between August 2016 and October 2017, and fertile male controls, were enrolled into this retrospective study. Patients diagnosed with infertility and controls underwent cytogenetic analysis by standard G-banding; AZF microdeletions were examined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction and capillary electrophoresis. Results: Out of 918 male patients who received fertility counselling, 57 were diagnosed with infertility due to azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia. Of these infertile patients, 22.81% (13/ 57) carried chromosome abnormalities, with 47, XXY being the most common abnormal kar- yotype. In addition, 36.84% (21/57) presented with Y chromosome microdeletions, most 5Meizhou Municipal Engineering and Technology Research Centre for Molecular Diagnostics of Major Genetic 1Clinical Core Laboratory, Meizhou People’s Hospital Disorders, Meizhou, China (Huangtang Hospital), Meizhou Academy of Medical 6Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Precision Sciences, Meizhou Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen Medicine and Clinical Translational Research of Hakka University, Meizhou, China Population, Meizhou, China 2Centre for Precision Medicine, Meizhou People’s Hospital (Huangtang Hospital), Meizhou Academy of *These authors contributed equally to this work.

Zhao et al. 1115 frequently in the complete AZFc and partial AZFc region. Duplication of the AZFc region was found in three patients. No AZF microdeletions were found in 60 fertile male controls. Conclusion: The high AZF microdeletion frequency in the current Hakka population suggests that AZF microdeletion analysis is essential in fertility screening, and combined with cytogenetic analysis, may influence the choice of assisted reproductive techniques and reduce the risk of inherited genetic disease.

    Annual Development Report on China's Trademark Strategy 2013 TRADEMARK OFFICE/TRADEMARK REVIEW AND ADJUDICATION BOARD OF STATE ADMINISTRATION FOR INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA China Industry & Commerce Press Preface Preface 2013 was a crucial year for comprehensively implementing the conclusions of the 18th CPC National Congress and the second & third plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee. Facing the new situation and task of thoroughly reforming and duty transformation, as well as the opportunities and challenges brought by the revised Trademark Law, Trademark staff in AICs at all levels followed the arrangement of SAIC and got new achievements by carrying out trademark strategy and taking innovation on trademark practice, theory and mechanism. ——Trademark examination and review achieved great progress. In 2013, trademark applications increased to 1.8815 million, with a year-on-year growth of 14.15%, reaching a new record in the history and keeping the highest a mount of the world for consecutive 12 years. Under the pressure of trademark examination, Trademark Office and TRAB of SAIC faced the difficuties positively, and made great efforts on soloving problems. Trademark Office and TRAB of SAIC optimized the examination procedure, properly allocated examiners, implemented the mechanism of performance incentive, and carried out the “double-points” management. As a result, the Office examined 1.4246 million trademark applications, 16.09% more than last year. The examination period was maintained within 10 months, and opposition period was shortened to 12 months, which laid a firm foundation for performing the statutory time limit. —— Implementing trademark strategy with a shift to effective use and protection of trademark by law.

  • Bird Strike Risk Control in Meizhou Airport Based on Cascading Failure Model in Coupled Map Lattices
    E3S Web of Conferences 261, 03050 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202126103050 ICEMEE 2021 Bird Strike Risk Control in Meizhou Airport Based on Cascading Failure Model in Coupled Map Lattices Liang Qiao1,* 1School of Airport Management, Civil Aviation College of Guangzhou, Guangdong, China Abstract. The fundamental way to reduce the risk of bird strike is to manage the ecological environment of the airport and its surrounding areas and affect the ecological chain of birds. Based on a comprehensive survey of animal and plant populations in Meizhou airport, an airport ecological chain network is established, and a improved cascading failure model in coupled map lattices is introduced to simulate the robustness and vulnerability of the network. It is found that airport ecological network will be collapsed around five time series one after another under the external attack. It also shows that the network will have a global breakdown under a very small external perturbation value when Solanum indicum L. and Callidium villosulum Fairmaire are deliberately attacked. The simulation results show that if the airport authorities give priority to governance these populations of animals and plants with higher in-degree, it may reduce bird strike risk. The analysis results provide a theoretical basis for airport bird strike prevention. 1 Introduction 1987, the airport has been continuously reconstructed and expanded, and has become an important domestic Flight safety is seriously threatened by bird strike, this airline airport. The area where the airport is located problem can be fundamentally solved when the belongs to the subtropical monsoon climate zone, which ecological environment of the airport and its surrounding is the transition zone between the south subtropical and areas is effectively managed.
