Methods In the first hospital of Lanzhou university from Jul 2009 to Jun 2010 ,we collected 290 stool specimens from children with diarrhea and 114 asymptomatic controls. Rotavirus was detected by ELISA, further strain characterization was carried out by nested PCR. The human calicivirus, astrovirus, adenovirus were detected by RT- multiplex PCR and PCR. Results At least one of the four viral agents was found in 60% of the specimens.Rotavirus, human calicivirus, adenovirus, and astrovirus were identified in 39. 31% , 11.38 % , 10.69% , and 4.83% in 290 specimens respectively. Rotavirus G3 was the most prevailing serotype, P [8] was the most common genotype. In the 114 control samples, 7 sample was positived for calicivirus, 5 samples were positived for human adenovirus and 1 sample was positived for astrovirus. Conclusion The results indicated clearly the impact of viral agents causing diarrhea and the importance of long-term systematic surveillance.

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) was one of the most important crops in the world next to wheat, rice, maize, soybean and barley. Using the callus derived from immature inflorescence as the recipients, we efficiently transformed sorghum varieties 115, ICS21B and 5-27 with the insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cry1Ab gene carried in the T-DNA of binary vectors which contained hygromycin resistance gene and gus gene via Agrobacterium tumefaciens. After gradient selection with hygromycin, a total of 21 independent transgenic plant lines, 52 transgenic plants were regenerated, and the average stably transformation efficiency was 1.9%. The integration and transcription of cry1Ab gene in transgenic sorghum was confirmed by PCR analysis, Southern blotting and RT-PCR analysis. The Bt proteins were expressed in most transgenic plants with different level from plant to plant by Western blotting and ELISA assay. According to insect bioassay in laboratory, the transgenic plants with a relatively high level of Bt gene expression displayed insect-resistance to pink rice borer (Sesamina inferens).

This study was purposed to investigate the effect of different heat stress conditions on expression level of heat shock protein gp96 in K562 cell line of chronic myeloid leukemia in order to provide experiment basis for seeking optimal heat stress condition increasing extraction amount of gp96 from K562 cells. The expression changes of gp96 in K562 cell line was detected by immunocytochemistry under 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48 degrees C for 30 minutes in water, by flow cytometry under 40, 44, 48 and 52 degrees C for 30 minutes in water, by Western blot under 40, 44, 48 and 52 degrees C for 30 minutes in water. Immunocytochemistry assay showed that gp96 existed mainly in cytoplasm. The peak of gp96 expression was at 30 minutes after 48 degrees C in water. The result of flow cytometry was consistent to immunocytochemistry detection results under temperatures 40, 44, 48 and 52 degrees C (P < 0.01). Western blot showed that detection result was the same as the immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry detections. In conclusion, the expression of gp96 in K562 cell line reached peak at 30 minutes after 48 degrees C in water. This condition may be an effective preparative condition for extraction of gp96 from K562 cells.

Objective To classify and grade the environments with Oncomelania hupensis snails inside embankment in marsh-land and lake areas,so as to improve the work efficiency and realize the systematic management. Methods The schistosomiasis endemic area Liaodi and Xiongdi villages in Jiangling County,Hubei Province were selected as the experiment villages,and the environments with snails in the two villages were divided into sections with a length of 500m,then the snail situation were sur-veyed by the systematic sampling method with 10m and 50m a frame respectively. The environments were classified according to the discovery of infected snails and wild fecal contamination,and the numbers of sites with snails and their areas in different class-es were recorded. Meanwhile,the data of sites with infected snails in Jingzhou City during the recent 5 years were collected and graded according to the average density of snails,so as to discuss the correlativity between the grades of environments with snails and the numbers of sites with infected snails and the occurrence rate of frames with snails. Results There were 1 967 sites with in-fected snails in Jingzhou City during the recent 5 years,and there was a positive correlation between the grades of environments with snails and the occurrence rate of frames with snails(rs=0.77,P<0.01),when the grade was 5,the constituent ratio of num-bers of sites with infected snails was 3.1%,and when the grade was 2-3,the ratio raised to 56.3%. There were 39 sites with snails in the two villages,the Class 1,2 and 3 environments included 1,18 and 20 sites,with the areas of 1 080,51 640 m2 and 41 220 m2 , respectively. There were no statistically significant difference between the grades divided by snail survey with 10m and 50m a frame(χ2=4.667,P>0.05),but the time-consuming of the former was 3 times of the latter. Conclusions The classification and grading of the environments with snails inside embankment in marshland and lake areas can master the key point of the snail survey. The subsection and setting frames at a suitable distance can save time and manpower,improve work efficiency,as well as understand the distribution of snail status of the environment with snails,which can realize the sort management of the snail envi-ronments inside embankment.
