Objective:To study the correlation between responses to Hepatitis B and HLA DRB1*07 DRB1*04 DRB1*1001. DQB1*0401 genes in Han population in Ningbo.Methods:A total of 240 Han people living in Ningbo received the routine vaccination of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine.The serum levels of anti-HBs antibody were examined and the subjects were divided into 2 groups according to tile results:negative responses group(n=120.anti-HBs D

Objective: To study the effect of free radical injury induced by Soman in rats and protection by Se/Zn. [WT5FZ]Methods: [WT5BZ]40 male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, i.e., negative group, positive group, Se group and Zn group according to weights. The serum, cerebrum and liver VE content, nitrogen oxide synthase (NOS activity and T AOC (total antioxidative capacity) were determined. Results: The VE content and T AOC decreased markedly, and NOS activities increased significantly after Soman intoxication. The changes were less significant in Se/Zn supplemented group. Conclusion: The mechanism of free radical injury is indicated in Soman intoxication and Se/Zn supplementation has significant protection.

Objective To probe into the relation of expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF and EGFR in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with radiation therapy efficacy. Methods 73 of the patients with carcinoma of oesophagus from January , 2011 to May , 2014 in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University , were involved in this research , their clinical data reviewed and analyzed. Before radiotherapy , immunohistochemical SP was used to test expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF and EGFR in the cancer tissues. Relationships between the expressions and the efficiency of radiotherapy were analyzed. Results The positive expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF and EGFR were 70.0%, 84.9% and 80.8%, respectively. In terms of the single factor analysis related to recent curative effects, HIF-1α expression had significant correlation with recent curative effects (P=0.03). Conversely , multiplicity indicated that HIF-1α and EGFR expressions were notably associated with recent curative effects (P=0.007, 0.045, respectively). Conclusions The positive expressions of HIF-1α,VEGF and EGFR in the esophageal carcinoma may account for a largest proportion of the total. HIF-1α and EGFR expressions are associated with the short-term outcomes.

The dissolution of substrate is the key step in steroid microbial conversion.The formation of surfactant micelle with a hydrophobic center directly results in increased pseudo-water-solubilities of hydrophobic compounds such as steroids.Results showed increased water solubility of steroid with the increased surfactant concentrations.Compared to mono-surfactant PSE,less quantity of multiple surfactants PSE-MGE was required to achieve the enhancement of steroid solubility at the same level,thus the negative effects of surfactants on mycelial growth were reduced and steroid conversion was therefore improved more.It was also shown that the surfactants and ultrasonic irradiation used jointly could result in better substrate dispersion and dissolution than surfactants used alone,and the best result was obtained when the comparatively high intensity (12.4 W/cm 2) and short time (5min) of ultrasonic irradiation were performed.

The potential of a Sinorhizobium fredii strain producing a copolymer polyhydroxyalkanoate(PHA)from glucose and sodium decanoate substrates was studied in this paper.Using orthogonal design in a flask-shaker culture system,the culture medium,some culture conditions and vital regulation conditions for polymer synthesis were optimized.These optimized results were applied into further studies in two-stage fed-batch with a 10L fermentor.The whole culture process consisted of two stages,that is,the cell growth and the copolymer production.The first stage was for the cell growing to a desired biomass and the second was for the copolymer synthesis.For producing PHA polymers,the selected 8 mM sodium decanoate was added into the broth by adopting a two-step adding method for avoiding of foaming when the biomass had approached 28.5g/L dry cell.The maximum P(HB-HH)production could be 17.55 g/L with a monomer ratio of 79.4%(W/W)3-HB and 20.6%(W/W)3-HH.The molecule constitute of the copolymer is poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate)[P(HB-HH)] and its molecular weight(MW)is 1.4?105D.The results demonstrated that the employed S.fredii strain could be a potential candidate for industrial production of the copolymer.The fermentation parameters acquired in the experimental system offered some valuable references for studying large-scale production of the copolymer.

New scientific hypotheses detected by mining the potential indirect association inliterature according to the studies on literature-based knowledge discovery are increasinglyapplied in biomedical field and evaluation of literature-based indirect association discovery is a hot spot in recent studies on literature-based knowledge discovery . The role of network characteristics in evaluation of literature-based indirect association discovery during the litera-ture-based knowledge discovery was thus studied.The new indexes for evaluaing the literature-based indirect asso-ciation discovery were esatablished by integrating the co-ocurrent statistic information and the network charateris-tics, which are of greatimportance for improving literature-based knowledge discovery and constructing knowledge discovery system .

70 bpm during scan),the proportion of segments that could not be assessed because of motion artifact were 0.1%(1/759),1.1%(7/649),2.5% (10/407),42.6%(103/242),and 75.5%(108/143),respectively.With conventional selective coronary angiography as the golden standard,the sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative prediction values to detect≥50% stenotic lesions in the assessable segments were 79.2%,96.0%,83.8%,and 94.6%,respectively.There was a significant correlation between the number of segments per patient not assessable because of motion artifact and heart rate during the scan(r=0.655,P=0.000).Conclusion MSCT is capable of achieving high accuracy for detection of coronary artery stenosis,and is a reliable technique to diagnose coronary artery disease.
