Objective: To investigate six mineral element contents of rice bran and milled rice from three color rice cultivars (white rice, red rice, black rice). Methods: Select 36 typical cultivars and determine Se, Zn, Fe, Ca, Mn, Cu contents in their rice bran and milled rice with AFS-2201 atomic fluorescent spectrometer and AA-680 atomic absorption spectrometer. Results: 1. The six mineral element contents of rice bran were 2.58, 3.35, 10.04, 4.58, 12.79 and 6.59 times as those of milled rice respectively. 2. The Ca content of black milled rice was significantly higher than that of white and red milled rice. The Mn content in rice bran of white rice was significantly higher than those of black and red rice. Other mineral element contents were not significantly different. 3. For rice bran and milled rice of different cultivars, the contents of each mineral element in three color rices varied greatly. Conclusions: 1. The content of six minerals in rice bran was 5.66 times on average as that in milled rice in all cultivars of three color rice. 2. Eight cultivars of the highest content of each mineral in rice bran and milled rice were recommended for commercial use and human consumption.

Objective To explore the clinical distribution states of human papillomavirus genotypes in tissues of 691 women with vulva condyloma acuminates in Nanjing city and Zhenjiang city in Jiangsu Province and genotyping clinical significance.Methods Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and gene-chips technology were utilized for the detection of 23 kinds of HPV genotypes in tissue specimens from 619 women of vulva condyloma acuminates in Nanjing city and Zhenjiang city in Jiangsu Province.And related materials of all subjects were analyzed.Results In 691 women of vulva condyloma acuminates,597 women of HPV infecton,total infection rate of HPV was 86.40％(597/691),including single genotype infection rate of HPV was 51.38％(355/691),11、6 and 16 genotypes are the most common in single genotypes,they are successively 51.55％(183/355)、41.97％(149/355)and 3.38％(12/355).multiple genotypes infection rate of HPV was 35.02％(242/691),6+11、11+18、6+16 and 11+16 genotypes are the most common in multiple genotypes,they are successively 9.92％(24/242)、9.09％(22/242)、4.96％(12/242)and 4.13％(10/242).Conclusion The low-risk HPV types are the main factors to cause the female vulva CA,a few high-risk HPV types may cause warts as well in tissues of women with vulva condyloma acuminates in Nanjing city and Zhenjiang city in Jiangsu Province.The vulva examine of HPV types should be held to the vulva CA patients.This precaution will has extremely important meaning to the prevention and treatment of the female vulva CA and cervical lesion in our nation.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane pretreatment on the myocardial injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Twenty NYHA class Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged ＜ 60 yr,undergoing cardiac valve replacement with CPB,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =10 each):sevoflurane group (group S) and control group (group C).The patients were premeditated with intramuscular morphine and scopolamine.Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of midazolam 0.05-0.08 mg/kg,fentanyl 10-15 μg/kg and pipecuronium 0.08-0.10 mg/kg.Anesthesia was maintained with intermittent iv boluses of midazolam,fentanyl and pipecuronium and in addition sevoflurane was inhaled before aortic clamping and the end-tidal concentration was rapidly increased to 1.0％ and maintained at the level for 5 min in group S.Blood samples were taken from the central vein before skin incision (T1),immediately after aortic clamping (T2 ),at 0 and 30 min after aortic unclamping (T3-4),and at 2,6,12 and 24 h after operation (T5-8) for determination of the concentration of serum cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) and activities of creatine kinase (CK) and creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB).Myocardial specimens were taken from right auricle before aortic clamping and at 10 min after aortic unclamping for electron microscopic examination.Results The concentration of serum cTnI and activities of CK and CK-MB were significantly increased at T4-8 in both groups ( P ＜ 0.05).The serum cTnI concentration at T4-8 and the activities of CK and CK-MB at T8 were significantly lower in group S than in group C ( P ＜0.05).Different degrees of mitochondrial swelling were observed after aortic unclamping in both groups,but the changes were milder in group S than in group C.Conclusion Sevoflurane pretreatment can attenuate the myocardial injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with CPB.

Beijing has been one of the epicenters attacked most severely by the SARS-CoV (severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus) since the first patient was diagnosed in one of the city's hospitals. We now report complete genome sequences of the BJ Group, including four isolates (Isolates BJ01, BJ02, BJ03, and BJ04) of the SARS-CoV. It is remarkable that all members of the BJ Group share a common haplotype, consisting of seven loci that differentiate the group from other isolates published to date. Among 42 substitutions uniquely identified from the BJ group, 32 are non-synonymous changes at the amino acid level. Rooted phylogenetic trees, proposed on the basis of haplotypes and other sequence variations of SARS-CoV isolates from Canada, USA, Singapore, and China, gave rise to different paradigms but positioned the BJ Group, together with the newly discovered GD01 (GD-Ins29) in the same clade, followed by the H-U Group (from Hong Kong to USA) and the H-T Group (from Hong Kong to Toronto), leaving the SP Group (Singapore) more distant. This result appears to suggest a possible transmission path from Guangdong to Beijing/Hong Kong, then to other countries and regions.
