The paper has established an assessment system and a quantitative calculation method of the "implicit" environmental impact including environmental impact indicator, resources consumption indicator and energy consumption indicator. The quantitative calculation of the environmental impact indicator is based on the life cycle assessment system and the evaluation software BEES. The paper identifies normalization reference values and weights for 12 categories of the environmental impact. It also analyzes the environmental impact indicator in life cycle stages, raw materials, transportation, manufacturing, utilization, and end of life. A university refectory project is studied. The result has shown that human health, global warming and acidification are the first three environmental impacts in 12 categories. The environmental impact indicator per m2 of this project is 18.448×10-2 standard human equivalent weight. Moreover, 97.3 % of the total environmental impact occurs at the raw material stage, in which the most severe environmental impact is cancerous health effect; the global warming is the main impact at the transportation and manufacturing stages; the indoor air quality impact is at the usage stage.

Animal model is very important for anti-EV71 (enterovirus 71) drug and vaccine development. 1-day-old suckling EV71 mouse model is the main in vivo model used in China. 1-day-old suckling EV71 mouse is too small to perform antiviral experiment. And the route of administration and dosage capacity are also restricted. A strong virulence EV71 virus strain was selected after screening from five EV71 strains with 1-day-old suckling mice. A mouse-adapted EV71 strain with increased virulence in 12-day-old suckling mice, EV71-M5, was generated after five serial passages of the parental EV71 strain in mice. Virus titers of EV71 infected mice heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, small intestine, brain and muscle tissue were determined by cytopathic effect (CPE) assay. The virus used in this model is the first isolated EV71 strain in China. And 2-week-old suckling mice were used in this model. This is a supplement for the EV71 animal model in China. Establishment of this EV71 model will provide an attractive platform for anti-EV71 vaccine and drug development.

Objective:To prove hemocyanin is an important high-molecular-weight allergen from Eriocheir sinensis.Methods:The proteins were extracted from Eriocheir sinensis tissue with lysate extraction method .The protein components were analyzed by SDS-PAGE,two-dimensional electrophoresis and Western blot.Serum IgE from allergic donors identified a candidate protein,which was char-acterized by MALDI-TOF/TOF.The immune property of the candidate protein was tested using Dot-blot.Results: By SDS-PAGE and two-dimensional electrophoresis analysis,we prove that the native protein components were completely.According to the Western blot result,at least 18 components could react with the positive serum.Among them, two 70-80 kD proteins had the same isoelectric point.So,may be they were the same protein.MALDI-TOF/TOF analysis results showed that the suspected proteins were hemocyanin.A sensitization frequency of 61%was observed in Eriocheir sinensis patients by Dot-blot.Conclusion:Hemocyanin was identified as an important high-molecular-weight allergen from Eriocheir sinensis.

OBJECTIVETo explore the differentially expressed genes and related signaling pathways in MC3T3-E1 osteo- blasts in response to suitable fluid shear stress values and action time with cDNA microarrays.
METHODSMC3T3-E1 cells cultured on a cover slip were subjected to fluid shear stress using a parallel plate flow chamber. The harvested RNA was used for microarray hybridization comprising approximately 44 170 genes, as well as for the subsequent real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction validation of expression levels for selected genes. Microarray results were analyzed by using both GO and Pathway analysis.
RESULTSMicroarray analysis indicated that 884 differentially expressed genes were found. Among these genes, 444 were upregulated, whereas 440 were downregulated. The Notch signal and RIG- I -like receptor signaling pathways were involved in the Pathway analysis. GO analysis mainly involved different functional classifications, such as prostaglandin biosynthesis, nitric oxide-mediated signal transduction, calcium mediated signal, and cellular immune response, among others.
CONCLUSIONThe mechanism underlying the protective effect of fluid shear stress on MC3T3-E1 cells might be related to promoting cell survival- and inhibiting cell apoptosis-related signaling pathways and biological processes.

Objective: To investigate the effect of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) on the gene expression of migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC). Methods: The healthy human PBMC was cultured with hCG at 37 ℃, 5%CO_2 for 2 hours. The mRNA of harvested cells was isolated. The MIF mRNA was detected by real-time RT-PCR. Results: In a certain range of doses, the mRNA expression of MIF significantly increased following the increase of hCG in a dose depandent manner, and it reached to a peak 1-2 hours after culture, then returned to the minimum level after 8 hours. Conclusion: In a certain range of doses, hCG can increase the mRNA expression of MIF. This effect is correlated with reacting time. It is suggested that hCG may involve in immune response by up-regulating the production of cytokines by PBMC.
