PCR-DGGE(denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) and clone library analysis combined with culture dependent isolation methods were used to analyze the population composition and its stability over different production batches of one commercial biofertilizer.DGGE fingerprinting showed that samples from the same production batch had 80%~100% similarity coefficient and those from different batches had 80%~88%,an indication that population composition of the biofertilizer was relative stable within the same batch and from batch to batch.Isolation followed with 16S rRNA clone library analysis showed that the microorganisms contained in the products were not in agreement with the product's label.Only Lactobacillus,one of the 6 microorganisms labeled in the products,was detected in the samples.Other bacteria detected with the two methods were Bacillus,Monascus,Brevibacillus,Psudomonas and Penicillium,which were not listed in the product's label.These results showed that molecular ecological methods may provide a new technology for quality control of biofertilizers.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the safety and immunological effects of Measles-mumps-rubella(MMR)attenuated live at-tenuated vaccine in children. METHODS:300 children aged 8-12 months receiving inoculation were selected from Changsha Hospi-tal for Maternal and Child Health Care during Jan. 2015-Apr. 2016 to observe safety and immunological effects. Those children were divided into MMR group,measles vaccine group,mumps vaccine group and rubella vaccine group according to vaccine type, with 75 cases in each group. The occurrence of ADR in 72 h were compared among 4 groups after inoculation;venous blood of chil-dren was collected before vaccination and 5 months after vaccination,and the antibody positive test was carried out by micro coagu-lation inhibition (HI) test;HI antibody titer was recorded after immunization,and positive rate and genometric meantiter(GMT) were calculated. RESULTS:The incidence of ADR in 4 groups were 9.33%,8.00%,8.00% and 10.67%,respectively. No local ADR was found in 4 groups;among systemic ADR,the incidence of fever was higher than that of other clinical manifestations,be-ing 4.00%,4.00%,4.00% and 5.33%;there was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR among 4 groups(P>0.05). Measles,mumps and rubella antibody positive rates of MMR group were 100%,92.00% and 100%,respectively;antibody posi-tive rates of measles vaccine group,mumps vaccine group and rubella vaccine group were 100%,85.33% and 100%,respective-ly;there was no statistical significance in same antibody positive rate among 4 groups(P>0.05). GMT of measles in MMR group and measles vaccine group were 1∶41 and 1∶27,that of mumps in MMR group and mumps vaccine group were 1∶6.3 and 1∶6.2, there was no statistical significance (P>0.05);GMT of rubella in MMR group and rubella vaccine group were 1∶320 and 1∶849, with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compared to traditional single vaccine,MMR dose not increase the inci-dence of ADR and not influence positive rate,but GMT of rubella increases significantly,to which should be paid attention.

During the past few years,mounting evidence has proved that the protection induced by vaccines or the prognosis of diseases is correlated with the quantity and quality of T cell responses in both mouse models and human infectious diseases.Examination of one or a few effector functions might not fully reflect the antigen-specific immunity.Recent studies demonstrated that after antigen stimulation,T cells could be induced to produce two or more effector functions simultaneously at single cell level,including cytokines,chemokines production and cytotoxic related molecules,which are named as polyfunctional T cells.Further studies indicated that these polyfunctional T cells are linked to protection from infectious diseases.Therefore,measuring multiple functions of T cells simultaneously is essential for the proper evaluation of specific immunity and may have substantial implications for the design of vaccines.

The causes of Cd-induced anemia and the preventive effect of Fe, Zn or Cu was studied. Day-old male chicken were randomly divided on body weight to 6 groups:A, Basal diet; B, Basal diet + Cd; C, Basal diet + Cd + Fe; D, Basal diet + Cd + Zn, E, Basal diet + Cd + Cu, F, Basal Diet + Cd + Fe + Zn + Cu. After 3 weeks feeding, the parameters to evaluate anemia of the chicken were observed.The results indicated: 1. Dietary Cd produced normocytic hypochro-mic anemia in chicken. Its causes were related to the abnormal size and decreased resistance of RBC and the deficiency of Fe and Cu in the chicken. 2. Dietary supplement of Fe and Cu was able to prevent Cd-induced anemia, but Zn had no effect. 3. Dietary Cd produced growth retardation in chicken and it could be prevented by supplementing Fe, Zn or Cu.

BACKGROUND: Mathematics ability is one of the basic abilities in human intelligence and mathematics disability is a universal type in key period of school-age children to master the mathematical concepts, perform the abstract calculation and form comprehensive mathematics ability, which is lack of a special rating scale and reference norm.OBJECTIVE: To establish a suitable evaluated norm for rating scale of pupil's basic mathematical abilities.DESIGN: Cross-sectional study of multi-phase stratified cluster random sampling.SETTING: The experiment was presided by Tongji Medical College collaborating with the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control of Beijing,Hebei province, Jiangsu province, shangdong province, Lengshuijiang,Hainan province and Hainan province, Herbin Medical University, Anhui Medical University, Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences, West China University of Medical Sciences, Guiyang Medical College, Lanzhou Medical College and other units.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 22 039 people were investigated in nationwide,including 14 693 students (7 377 urban ones and 7 316 ones, respectively), who were randomly selected from Grade One to Six of urban and rural general elementary schools.METHODS: Between June and September 2003, students from Grade One to Six of general elementary schools were sampled. According to the Fifth National Population Census in 2000 and based on sex, nation, area and city or count, the Chinese Rating Scale of Pupil's Mathematic Abilities was applied in group-test on mathematic abilities of the cluster-selected students with multi-phase-stratified sampling method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Calculative ability, logical thinking and spatial-visual abilities and so on.RESULTS: The norm samples of 14 693 subjects including 7 377 urban students and 7 316 rural students all entered the result analysis. ①The mean scores of each sub-test for the two sampled subjects gradiently increased along with grades rising; the scores of subtests among various ages from urban and rural samples (paired comparison) had significant differences (P ＜ 0.05); the scores of sub-tests of urban samples in various grades were higher than those of rural samples (t=2.234-11.766, P ＜ 0.05). The urban (n=7 377) and rural (n=7 316) norms were established, respectively.②The reference norm was composed of converted T score and percentile P,the T scores in every mid-term and final-term were estimated to calculate Z scores; finally, the probability function P under normal distribution was achieved. ③The evaluation of mathematics abilities were classified into 5 grades: it was average with the scores of (-x)±s (P=16%-84%); good if between (-x)+s and (-x)+2s (P=84%-97.5%); excellent if exceeded (-x)+2s(P ＞ 97.5%); inferior if between (-x)-s and (-x)-2s(P=16%-2.5%); worse if lower than (-x)-2s (P ＜ 2.5%).CONCLUSION: The constituent ratio of normal samples is basically consistent with the data of total population and the distribution of samples in various grades and sexes is nearly equilibrate; there are significant differences in scores of most subtests on mathematics abilities between urban and rural children, which suggest that it is necessary to establish urban and rural norm, respectively.

The blood levels of hemoglobin(Hb), cerrulo-plasmin (Cp), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glu-tathion peroxidase (GSH-Px), malonaldehyde(MAD) and the concentrition of Cd, Fe, Cu andSe in liver were measured 4 weeks after weanedSprague-Dawley rats fed on Cd-supplemented diet(Cd 100mg/kg). The results indicated that. theconcentrition of Fe, Cu and Se in liver and theblood levels of Hb, SOD and GSH-Px activity weredecreased, but the blood level of MAD was in-creased by dietary Cd. The abnormal changes andanemia induced by Cd were able to be partially al-leviated by oral supplementing Fe, Cu and Se. Itsuggested. that Cd was able to produce peroxidationof erythrocyte membrane lipids. It is a possiblemechanism of the decreased survival of erythrocyteand hemolysis by Cd.

Objective To evaluate the quality of life and correlated factors in patients with condyloma acuminatum (CA). Methods 101 patients with CA and 50 healthy people as control were assessed by using the questionnaire of QOL-35. Results Compared with control group, the total score and general, physical, inde-pendence, psychological, social, environment domains scores of QOL were lower significantly in the CA group ( P <0.05). The QOL score has negative correlation with course of disease( r= -0.233, P<0.05), recurrence times(r= -0.556, P<0.05). Nevertheless, it has no noticeable correlation with gender, age, marital status, education, career (P0.05). Conclusion Quality of life was lower in patients with CA, and it was closely related with the course of disease and recurrence times.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the colloid osmotic pressure (COP) as well asosmolality and the outcomes of critical patients. Method Totally 1568 critical patients were chosen from emergen-cy intensive care unit and surgical intensive care unit in Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical Universityfrom January 2002 to December 2005, and divided into different groups according to levels of COP and osmolality.In group program Ⅰ, all patients were divided into 2 subgroups based on COP (the critical value was 20 mmHg =1.2 mOsm/kg H2O)on the day of admission. In group program Ⅱ, the same patients were divided into 3 sub-groups based on osmolality (the critical value was in the range from 280 mOsm/kg H2O aad 310 mOsm/kgH2O)which was also measured on the day of admission. The mortality of patients was calculated. Chi-square test wasused. Results Compared with patients of normal colloid osmotic pressure group, patients of lower colloid osmoticpressure group had higher mortality(24.5% vs. 17.7%, P = 0.001). Compared with the patients of normal os-molality group, the patients of lower total osmotic pressure group had lower mortality(17.0% vs. 24.5%, P =0.000). Conclusions Compared with the normal osmolality, the normal colloid osmotic pressure had the moreclosely relationship with the outcomes of critical patients, and it maybe a predictor of prognosis of the critical pa-tients.

Objective　To investigate the status of apoptosis of osteoblast, osteoclast and the relative factors. Methods　Apoptotic cells were examined using in situ end labeling technique. Expressions of bcl-2, Fas and transforming growth factor(TGF)β1 were observed with immunohistochemical method. Results　Positive expression rate (40.5±5.2)% of apoptosis cells was significantly increased in the osteoblast, but the expression rate of apoptosis cells (8.4±1.2)% was significantly decreased in the osteoclast of the post-ovariectomy rats than in the sham-operated rats. The expression of Fas was decreased in osteoclast (20.0%) and increased in osteoblast (80.0%) of the post-ovariectomized rats. The expression of TGFβ1 was significantly decreased in the osteoclast (0) and the osteoblast (20.0%) of the post-ovariectomized rats. The above-mentioned targets in post-ovariectomized rats treated with nilestriol/levonorgestrel were close to those sham-operated rats (P＞0.05). Conclusions　 Bone loss in the post-ovariectomized rats is attributable to the lower level of estrogen so that the apoptosis cells were decreased in osteoclast but were increased in osteoblast. As a result, the process of bone absorption prevails over that of bone formation. Expression of TGFβ1 depends on stimulation of estrogen. TGFβ1 may stimulate apoptosis of osteoclast and restrain apoptosis of osteoblast. Fas can induce the apoptosis of osteoclast.

Objective: To investigate prognostic factors of survival of lung adenocarcinoma patients with brain metasta-ses.Methods: The clinical data of 109 lung adenocarcinoma patients with brain metastases were reviewed.Fifty-senven pa-tients survived more than 1 year, and 52 patients survived less than 1 year.The data were analyzed by SPSS 15.0 statisti-cal software.Results: Both the univariate analysis and multivariate analysis showed that patients' PS score, the interval be-tween diagnosis and brain metastasis, and multimodality treatment were independent prognostic factors for the survival of lung adenocarcinoma patients with brain metastases (P<0.05).Patients' gender, age, metastatic symptoms and extracrani-al metastases didn't significantly affect patient survival.Conclusion: Patients with PS score 0-1, the interval of more than 1 year between diagnosis and brain metastasis, and combined therapy have longer survival.The research provides an impor-tant guidance for the treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients with brain metastases.
