To study the characteristics and preventive methods of road traffic accidents (RTA) in different regions of Chongqing, 2 police teams of traffic management in downtown, 2 teams at the arban suburb junction, 1 team in the county and 1 freeway team were selected randomly, and RTA occurring in the respective listrict, above middle RTA between 1988 to 1997 were investigated and analyzed. In a total of 13121 cases of RTA, there were 6201 RTA with casualties, 14 catastrophic RTA, and 977 serious RTA. In these RTA there were 1086 deaths, 3165 severely wounded and 7327 mildly wounded. Pedestrians and passenger weres constituted 44 0% and 42 5% of total casualties respectively. 57 9% of severely wounded and deaths occurred in pedestrians. As a whole,there was a tendency of rise in RTA every year, having a significant characteristic of time distribution. The majority RTA occurring in Chongqing was related with violation of driving regulations and recklessness in crossing roads. causes of RTA, time distribution and casualties were different in different regions. In order to decreese the rate of RTA,it is deemed essential to enhance propaganda to raise the awareness of traffic accidents and to reinforce traffic management appropriate for respective district of the city.

Objective To determine the affinities of five oligopeptides specifically binding with DNA binding domain of NF-?B p65 subunit and identify their inhibiting effect on DNA binding activity of NF-?B. Methods By using biosensor the affinities were measured by means of kinetic analysis, and the inhibiting effects were determined by competitive ELISA. Results The results of biosensor showed that all of five oligopeptides really possessed the capability of specific interacting with NF-?B p65 subunit. The affinity constants of these oligopeptides were 2.67?10~ -7 mol/L, 9.02?10~ -6 mol/L, 1.07?10~ -6 mol/L, 8.03?10~ -6 mol/L, 9.83?10~ -7 mol/L respectively. The results of competitive ELISA indicated that five oligopeptides could inhibit NF-?B from binding with ?B motif, and their inhibiting effect depended on their concentration. Conclusion Five oligopeptides that were screened by yeast two-hybrid system method can really interact with p65, and possess the inhibiting effect on DNA binding activity of NF-?B. So it will be possible that these oligopeptides are regarded as model to design and develop novel anti-inflammatory peptide drug targeting NF-?B.
