Heavy metal residue in vegetables is a big concern in the whole world.The aim of this work is to explore the effect of multivariable selection on analyzing Cd in Chinese cabbage polluted in lab by collecting the spectra of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) from the samples.At the same time,the actual Cd content in samples was obtained by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV).The LIBS spectral range in partial least square (PLS) model was screened by standard normal variable transformation (SNV),first derivative (FD),second derivative (SD) and center treatment (CT) for preprocessing spectra and the optimized method was used for the analysis of interval partial least square (iPLS) and synergy interval partial least square (SiPLS).The results indicated that the method of CT was the best as a comparison with PLS,iPLS and SiPLS.And the intervals of wavelength were 214.72-215.82 nm,215.88-216.97 nm and 225.08 -226.35 nm by utilizing the optimized SiPLS.Here the root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV) between real content and predicted ones was 1.487,the root mean squared error of prediction (RMSEP) was 1.094,the correlation coefficient (R) was 0.9942,and the average relative error (ARE) was 11.60%.The results displayed that LIBS could predict Cd in vegetables by multivariable selection of SiPLS and the accuracy could meet the requirement of rapid and green analysis of Cd in vegetables.

BACKGROUND:Clinical infusion of hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of aplastic anemia has been reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells on the secretion function of T lymphocytes of aplastic anemia patients. METHODS:Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells were extracted from healthy human adipose tissues. T-lymphocytes were harvested from peripheral blood of patients with aplastic anemia by density gradient centrifugation. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells were co-cultured with T-lymphocytes. The levels of interleukin-2, interleukin-4, interleukin-10 and interferon-γwere detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. T-bet and GATA-3 levels were examined by real-time PCR and western blot. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The levels of Th1 type cytokines interferon-γand interleukin-2 in the co-culture group were significantly lower than those in the T-lymphocyte group (P<0.05). But the levels of Th2 type cytokines interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 in the co-culture group were significantly higher than those in the T-lymphocyte group (P<0.05). The T-bet mRNA and protein levels in the co-culture group were significantly lower than those in the T-lymphocyte group, while the GATA-3 mRNA and protein levels were significantly higher in the co-culture group. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells can mediate an immunoregulation effect on T-lymphocytes of aplastic anemia patients in vitro, which is possibly related with the inhibition of Th1-dominant response due to the disorder of T-bet and GATA-3 gene expression.

Objective To explore the effects of H 2 S on neuronal injuries induced by oxygen glucose deprivation /reoxygenation ( OGD/R) in cortical neurons .Methods For OGD, the primary cultured cortical neurons were incubated with glucose-free EBSS media for 4h in N2/CO2/O2 (93%/5%/2%) atmosphere.Thereafter, the media were replaced by Neurobasal/B27 culture media and the neurons were incubated for 12 h in a 5%CO2 incubator at 37℃.NaHS was used as a H2S donor and cell survival rate was determined by cell counting kit 8(CCk-8).[Ca2+]i was determined using fura-2/AM and fluorescence microscopic imaging systems .The release rate of lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) was determined by lactate dehydrogenase assay kit , and cell damage was analyzed by staining of propidium iodide ( PI ) .Results After pretreated with 200, 300 and 600μmol/L sodium hydrosulfide ( NaHS) for 30min before OGD/R, the cell survival rate of neurons significantly increased (n=4).[Ca2+]I(n=5), LDH release rate (n=4) and cell damage percentage (n=6) in the neuron pretreated with 300 μM NaHS were significantly lower than those in ODG/R cells.Treatment with 10μmol/L calcium chelator BAPTA also reduced the LDH release rate and cell damage percentage induced by ODG /R in neurons . Conclusion The results indicate that H 2 S may inhibit the OGD/R induced damage in cortical neurons via reducing calcium overload of neurons .

There are many noise signals in original laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) spectra.To explore the effect of spectral pretreatment on LIBS information by different filter methods, the LIBS spectra of Pb-polluted cabbage in wavelength range of 400.45-410.98 nm was investigated and preprocessed by adjacent averaging, Savitzky-Golay (S-G) and fast Fourier transformation (FFT).Then partial least square (PLS) model was established for evaluating the spectral treatment effect.The result showed that the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) and average relative error of S-G method were 0.26 and 3.7%, suggesting a superior smoothing effect than other methods.Experimental results indicated that an appropriate filtering method could help to improve the spectral quality and raise the precision of model checkout.

Objective:The iodine excretion of adult individuals was calculated by two creatinine correction methods of urinary iodine, and the significance and value of the methods to measure individual iodine nutrition levels were assessed to provide a reference basis for further epidemiological investigation and study of iodine deficiency disorders.Methods:Healthy adults aged 18 - 59 years from Fujian Province were recruited and their 24 h urine, fasting urine, and morning spot urine (8:00 - 12:30) were collected and the corresponding urinary iodine and creatinine concentrations were measured. The estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion was calculated using two different creatinine correction and creatinine estimation formulas were compared with the measured 24 h urinary iodine excretion.Results:There were no significant differences in measured 24 h urinary iodine excretion value, estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion value 1 of fasting urine and morning spot urine, and estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 2 of fasting urine and morning spot urine between genders (μg/d: 195.5 vs 190.9, 190.0 vs 181.7, 160.2 vs 144.2, 174.8 vs 179.2, 148.3 vs 131.5); there were no significant differences in measured 24 h urinary iodine excretion and fasting urinary estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 1, estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 2 ( P > 0.05), and there were significant differences in measured 24 h urinary iodine excretion and morning spot urinary estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 1, estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 2 ( P < 0.01). And there were significant linear correlations between measured 24 h urinary iodine excretion and estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 1 of fasting urine and morning spot urine, estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 2 of fasting urine and morning spot urine ( r = 0.772, 0.266, 0.828, 0.391, P < 0.01). Conclusions:It is feasible to estimate 24 h urinary iodine excretion in adults with creatinine-corrected fasting urinary iodine concentration. Creatinine-corrected fasting urinary iodine concentration can be used as an individual iodine nutrition level evaluation index, but whether it is applicable to children and pregnant women remains to be further studied.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an extremely malignant pulmonary vascular disease of unknown etiology. ADAR1 is an RNA editing enzyme that converts adenosine in RNA to inosine, thereby affecting RNA expression. However, the role of ADAR1 in PH development remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the biological role and molecular mechanism of ADAR1 in PH pulmonary vascular remodeling. Overexpression of ADAR1 aggravated PH progression and promoted the proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Conversely, inhibition of ADAR1 produced opposite effects. High-throughput whole transcriptome sequencing showed that ADAR1 was an important regulator of circRNAs in PH. CircCDK17 level was significantly lowered in the serum of PH patients. The effects of ADAR1 on cell cycle progression and proliferation were mediated by circCDK17. ADAR1 affects the stability of circCDK17 by mediating A-to-I modification at the A5 and A293 sites of circCDK17 to prevent it from m1A modification. We demonstrate for the first time that ADAR1 contributes to the PH development, at least partially, through m1A modification of circCDK17 and the subsequent PASMCs proliferation. Our study provides a novel therapeutic strategy for treatment of PH and the evidence for circCDK17 as a potential novel marker for the diagnosis of this disease.
