Rapeseed oil is one of the major raw materials for biodiesel production. The bottleneck of rapeseed oil-based biodiesel production at present is high cost of raw materials, which generally accounts for about 75% of total production cost. Current status and principal problems concerned in the production of biodiesel from rapeseed oil in China and other countries were introduced, based on which it was proposed to grow high-erucic acid rape in existing winter fallow fields and jointly produce biodiesel, erucic acid and its derivative products, and other highly valuable by-products such as glycerin and sterols from high-erucic acid rapeseed oil. The feasibility of this development strategy was analyzed in terms of product and market demand potential, economic benefits of enterprises, techniques and conditions of production, and source of raw materials. It was believed that the implementation of the strategy in China was of great significance in realizing rise and sustainable development of rapeseed oil-based biodiesel production, improving quality of biodiesel, promoting the development of biochemical engineering and many other industries, as well as in building a socialist new countryside.

Objective:To explore the effects of wild type p53 gene on biologic behavior of human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV 3 and the efficacy of cisplatin against the cancer cells when combined with p53 gene therapy.Methods:A human wild type p53 gene recombinant eukaryotic expression vector was introduced by lipofectin mediated gene transfection into SKOV 3 cells which does not express endogenous p53.The clones obtained were observed for their biological behavior and the colony formation when exposed to cisplatin.Results:The exogenous wild type p53 gene expressed stably in the cells.The growth rate and colony formation of these transfected cells were suppressed significantly by exogenous p53 gene and the percentage of phase G 1 cells increased.There was an increasement in the sensitivity to cisplatin of the transfected cells.Conclusion:Exogenous wild type p53 gene can suppress the growth of human ovarian cancer cells and increase the efficacy of cisplatin against the cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of fluoride on the expression of a subunit of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase- Ⅱ (α-CaMK Ⅱ ) at both mRNA and protein levels in human neuroblastoma cells were cultured in DMEM with final concentrations of NaF 0(control) ,0.05,0.50,2.00,5.00 mmol/L, respectively, for 48 hours. Then quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot were performed to detect the expression level of α-CaMK Ⅱ P1 (postnatal day 1) pups together with their mothers were randomly divided into three groups. Lactating rats were given drinking water containing NaF at concentrations 0(control) ,2,3 mmol/L. And pups were exposed to NaF through milk. In each group, 8 pups were sacrificed on day 14 after birth. In post-weaning period, another 8 pups in each group were given drinking water with the same dose of fluoride as their mother's 21 day after birth. After then, these pups were killed on day 28, and hippocampus was dissected immediately and Western blot was conducted mRNA and protein levels were decreased. When NaF concentrations were 0,0.05,0.50,2.00,5.00 mmol/L, the mRNA relative ratios of α-CaMKⅡ in SY5Y cells were 1.00 ± 0.00,0.77 ± 0.18,0.40 ± 0.11,0.22 ± 0.06 and 0.15 ± 0.03, and protein levels of α-CaMK Ⅱ were 100.00 ± 0.00,76.17 ± 2.08,59.16 ± 2.12,48.52 ± 2.71 and 43.51 ± 2.57, any mmol/L group, hippocampus α-CaMK Ⅱ protein levels on day 14 and 28(75.02 ± 2.88,73.83 ± 3.88 and 81.00 ± 2.54,45.70 ± 2.34) were significantly lower than that of control groups(100.00 ± 0.00,100.00 ± 0.00, all P < 0.01). In 3 mmol/L group, hippocampus α-CaMKⅡ protein level on day 28 was lower than that of 2 mmol/L group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Fluoride can decrease mRNA and protein levels of α-CaMK Ⅱ in nerve cells and hippocampus, which may be one of the mechanisms of learning and memory impairment by fluorosis.

Autoimmune chronic spontaneous urticaria (aiCSU) is characterized by the presence of anti-FceR1
and anti-IgE autoantibodies. In this study we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of bilastine
versus cetirizine in aiCSU.

Lipids metabolism can change after traumas such as operation or injury.The process is com-prised of accelerated hydrolysis of triglyceride in adipose tissue,accelerated absorption of fatty acids by extra-he-patic tissue,improved lipid oxidation rate,and augmented re-esterification of fatty acids in liver and adipose tis-sue.Mechanisms of lipid mobilization include sympathetic stimulation,insulin resistance,and inflammation.How-ever,lipid absorption by liver and intestine is inhibited after trauma.Through post-trauma nutritional support,glu-cose administration improves re-esterification of fatty acids and inhibits lipid oxidation without affecting lipolysis.Fat emulsion infusion inhibits both absorption and secretion of triglyceride in liver.Therefore,clinicians should a-void over-alimentation of glucose and fat to prevent lipid overload,particularly in liver. Intervention of post-trau-matic lipid metabolism improves the outcomes:administration of long-chain triglycerides can prevent exhaustion of essential fatty acids,and administration of cholesterol can improve absorption and oxidation of fat emulsion.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of recurrent ischemic stroke, and evaluate the severity and short-term outcome. Methods From March, 2014 to March, 2015, 238 patients with recurrent ischemic stroke and 378 patients with initial ischemic stroke matched with gender and age were enrolled. The clinical data of two groups were compared and the non-conditional Logistic regression model was made to analysis the risk factors of recurrent ischemic stroke. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score as ad-mission and discharge, and the neural function improvement rate of two groups were compared. Results The incidences of leukoarailsis (χ2=8.666), hypertension (χ2=8.189), smoking (χ2=6.973) and alcohol consumption (χ2=4.722) were higher in the recurrent group than in the pri-mary group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that leukoarailsis (OR=1.690, 95%CI:1.198~2.384, P=0.003), hypertension (OR=1.715, 95%CI:1.135~2.592, P=0.010) and smoking (OR=1.896, 95%CI:1.233~2.915, P=0.004) were the independent risk factors of recur-rent ischemic stroke. The NIHSS scores as admission and discharge were significantly higher (t=-3.645, t=-4.675, P<0.001), and the neural function improvement rate was lower (t=2.643, P<0.01) in the recurrent group than in the primary group. Conclusion Hypertension, leuko-arailsis and smoking are independent risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke. Recurrent ischemic stroke is more serious than initial isch-emic stroke, and the short-term neural function recovers more slowly.
