A new method was developed for the separation and determination of inosine monophosphate (IMP) by ion chromatography (IC) with suppressed conductivity detection. Separation was achieved on an anion-exchange column Ionpac AS11-HC of high capacity within a short time. 30 mmol/L KOH produced by an EGC-KOH eluent generator was used for isocratic elution. No interferences existed between the seven common inorganic anions and IMP. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of the calibration curve for IMP was 1. 0-200 mg/L, with correlation coefficient ( R2 ) of 0. 999. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for retention time, peak height and peak area of IMP were 0. 16%, 0. 94% and 0. 86%, respectively, indicating good reproducibility of the method. The method was successfully applied to the determination of IMP in meat products, with spiked recovery ranging from 86. 0% to 110. 0%. This simple, accurate and reliable method could be served as a rapid and effective analytical tool for meat flavoring research.

To explore the impact of the history of infection by the influenza A virus subtype H1N1 on secondary infection by the influenza A virus subtype H9N2, pigs non-infected and pre-infected with H1N1 were inoculated with H9N2 in parallel to compare nasal shedding and seroconversion patterns. Unlike pigs without a background of H1N1 infection, nasal shedding was not detected in pigs pre-infected with H1N1. Both groups generated antibodies against H9N2. However, levels of H1N1 antibodies in pigs pre-infected with H1N1 increased quickly and dramatically after challenge with H9N2. Cross-reaction was not observed between H1N1 antibodies and H9N2 viruses. These findings suggest that circulation of the H1N1 virus might be a barrier to the introduction and transmission of the avian H9N2 virus, thereby delaying its adaptation in pigs.

Objective To characterize 5 gpl20 sequences from mainly circulating clades in China and expression of their gp120 glycoproteins. Methods gp120 genes were amplified from the PBMCs of 5 HIV-1 infected individuals in different provinces using nest PCR and their DNA sequences were determined. Sequence characteristics were analyzed and gp120 genes were sub-cloned into the mammalian expression vec-tor to produce gp120 glycoproteins. Results Sequence characteristics indicated these sequences belong to the clade Thai-B, CRF_BC and CRF_AE, respectively. There were some conservative N-linked glycosyla-tion sites and primary Furin protease cleavage motifs in the same positions within gp120 amino acid se-quences although these gp120 sequences were categorized into different clades. In comparison with referen-tial strains, amino acids deletions were found in the V1, V2, V4, V5 regions except for the V3 loop; above all, V3 tip motifs of Thai-B exhibited the more polymorphic forms than those of CRF_BC and CRF_AE. These 5 gp120 sequences were cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector and gpl20 glycoproteins were produced successfully. Conclusion Hyper-variable nature of Env should be considered while designing HIV-1 vaccine or test reagent, and gpl20 expression in vitro is helpful to further research on the Env patho-genesis and vaccine development against the mainly circulating HIV-1 isolates in China.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease in gastrointestinal malignant tumors.The mortality of pancreatic cancer closely parallels its incidence.Most patients with pancreatic cancer remain asymptomatic until the disease reaches an advanced stage.There is no program for screening patients at high risk of pancreatic cancer.Although CT,MRI,positron emission tomography,endoscopic ultrasonography,and endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration offer high diagnostic ability for pancreatic cancer,it cannot be found at the early stage easily.Surgical resection is regarded as the only potentially curative treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy is given after surgery.This article reviews epidemiology,risk factors,diagnosis and treatment for pancreatic cancer by summarizing relevant literature.

Objective: To understand the health risk of drinking water in rural areas of Jinhua and to provide evidence for water sanitary management in rural areas. Methods: Totally 2 032 samples of drinking water in rural areas of Jinhua were collected from 2016 to 2018. According to GB/T 5750-2006 Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water,five chemical carcinogens（As,Cd,Cr6+,CHCl3 and CCl4）and twelve non-carcinogenic chemicals（Pb,Hg,Se、CN-、F-、NO3-、Al、Fe、Mn、Cu、Zn and NH3-N）were detected. The health risk assessment in rural drinking water was conducted by United States Environmental Protection Agency（USEPA）model. Results: The total health risk,total carcinogenic risk and total non-carcinogenic risk of rural drinking water caused by the seventeen chemicals were 34.8×10-6/a,34.80×10-6/a and 6.65×10-9/a,respectively. The carcinogenic risk of five chemical carcinogens accounted for 99.98% of the total health risk,and the carcinogenic risk of Cr6+ accounted for 89.95% of the total health risk. The total health risk of the fully processed,partially processed and unprocessed water samples were 31.68×10-6/a,34.78×10-6/a and 34.77×10-6/a,respectively. The total health risk of finished water and peripheral water were 34.79×10-6/a and 34.82×10-6/a. Conclusion The health risk of drinking water in rural areas of Jinhuacaused by chemicals is low. The hexavalent chromium has the highest health risk and need more attention to be paid on.

A new analytical method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of CrⅢand CrⅥusing on-line sample pretreatment valve-switching ion chromatography. The organic matrix in leather was removed by using a reverse-phase column as the pretreatment column. Before injection, EDTA was added into sample solution to react with the CrⅢto form anion which could absorb visible light strongly. After injection, the ions separated by the pretreatment column were received in a collection loop. Then the ions were delivered into an analytical column and separated. CrⅥ then was derived with the derivatization reagent 1, 5-diphenylcarbazide ( DPC) , and detected together with CrⅢ-EDTA complex by a UV-Vis detector. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of the method for CrⅢ and CrⅥ was 0. 3-10 mg/L (r=0. 9991) and 0. 05-2 mg/L ( r = 0. 9992 ), whereas detection limits ( S/N = 3 ) were 80. 78 μg/L and 6. 67 μg/L, respectively. The recoveries were in the range of 88. 7%-108. 5% with the relative standard deviations for retention time and peak area less than 3%. The method could be applied to determine CrⅢ and CrⅥ in leather and cloth effectively and quickly.
