A novel method for the detection of moroxydine ( ABOB) residue in tomatoes was developed based on the enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of CdTe quantum dots( QDs) in the presence of ABOB. The factors influencing the performance of the QDs fluorescent probes were investigated, and the optimum conditions were determined:the concentration of mercaptoacidic acid ( TGA) capped-CdTe quantum dot was 1×10-4 mol/L, and the reaction time was 20 min at pH=5. 6. Under the optimum conditions, the relative fluorescence intensity increases linearly proportional to the ABOB concentration in the range of 1. 0×10-12-5. 0×10-10 mol/L with a limit of detection of 5. 2×10-13 mol/L, R=0. 9981, the recovery was 97%-106%, without obvious interference on the determinations of moroxydine from the common coexisting ions, antibiotics, and vitamins. The proposed method has been successfully applied in the detection of trace moroxydine hydrochloride residue in tomatoes.

Objective:
To examine the relationship between inhibition of ongoing responses deficit with attention deficit and behavior disorder among ADHD children.
Methods:
Totally 43 children with attention deficit hyperac tivity disorder (ADHD) aged 6-14 years who met the DSM-V criteria for ADHD were recruited. And 38 health children were recruited as the control group. Vision Continuous Performance Task (CPT) and Matching Familiar Figures Test were used to assess attention deficit and behavior disorder feature of the ADHD children. Stop-signal paradigm was used to assess the inhibition of ongoing responses.
Results:
In the stop-signal paradigm, the ADHD children’s error rate was significantly higher than typically developing children(t=4.34, P<0.01). The ADHD children error rate in the stopsignal task was positively correlated with the wrong number miss rate in CPT task(r=0.45, P<0.01), similar finding was observed in regression analysis,with inhibition of ongoing responses accounted for 20.1% of attention deficit(t=3.21,P<0.01). In ROC curve analysis, the cut-off sore was 15.50 in the task. The error rate in stop-signal task showed no association with miss rate in Matching Familiar Figures Test(r=0.09,P>0.05).
Conclusion
Inhibition of ongoing responses among ADHD children is associated with attention deficit, but not with existence of behavior disorder.

Objective:To investigate the effect of pterostilbene on the growth, apoptosis and autophagy of a human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) -immortalized cervical epithelial cell line H8.Methods:H8 cells were treated with pterostilbene at different concentrations of 0 (control group) , 25, 50, 75, 100 μmol/L for 24 and 48 hours. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay was performed to evaluate the cellular proliferative activity, flow cytometry was conducted to detect apoptosis and cell cycle, monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining and fluorescence microscopy were performed to detect autophagy, and Western blot analysis was conducted to determine the expression of the cell cycle-related protein cyclinD1, apoptosis-related proteins caspase-3 and caspase-9, autophagy-related proteins Beclin1, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) -Ⅱ/Ⅰ, ATG5 and P62, as well as HPV oncoproteins E6 and E7. Statistical analysis was carried out by using one-way analysis of variance, repeated measures analysis of variance and least significant difference- t test. Results:After 48-hour treatment with pterostilbene at different concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 μmol/L, the relative cellular proliferation rate significantly differed among the groups (100.00% ± 1.56%, 99.02% ± 4.97%, 93.59% ± 2.01%, 81.28% ± 4.90%, 69.17% ± 7.56%, respectively; F = 77.22, P < 0.05) , and gradually decreased along with the increase in the concentration of pterostilbene; compared with the control group, the pterostilbene groups all showed significantly decreased cellular proliferation rate (all P < 0.05) . After 24-hour treatment with pterostilbene, the proportions of H8 cells at G1, G2 and S phases significantly differed among the above groups ( F = 7 845.00, 51.14, 266.50, respectively, all P < 0.05) ; compared with the control group, the pterostilbene groups showed significantly increased proportions of H8 cells at G1 and G2 phases (all P < 0.05) , but significantly decreased proportions of H8 cells at S phase ( P < 0.05) . After 48-hour treatment with pterostilbene, the apoptosis rate was significantly higher in the 25-, 50-, 75- and 100-μmol/L pterostilbene groups (14.66% ± 0.22%, 13.50% ± 0.49%, 14.56% ± 0.19%, 15.30% ± 0.76%, respectively) than in the control group (11.58% ± 0.50%, all P < 0.05) . After 24-hour treatment with pterostilbene, MDC staining showed only a small number of H8 cells with bright dot-like fluorescence in the control group, but increased number of autophagosome-positive H8 cells with bright dot-like fluorescence in the pterostilbene groups. Western blot analysis revealed that there were significant differences in the protein expression of cyclin D1, caspase-3, caspase-9, Beclin1, LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ, ATG5, P62, E6 and E7 among the control and pterostilbene groups after 24- and 48-hour treatment with pterostilbene (all P < 0.05) . The treatment with pterostilbene could down-regulate the expression of cyclin D1, E6 and E7, and up-regulate the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, Beclin1, LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ, ATG5 and P62, with significant differences between the control group and most pterostilbene groups in expression of the above proteins (all P < 0.05) . Conclusion:Pterostilbene can inhibit the proliferation of H8 cells, promote their apoptosis and autophagy, and down-regulate the expression of oncogenes E6 and E7.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the correlation of genome-wide distribution of 6-methyladenine (6mA) of DNA in chorionic tissues from abortuses with monosomy 21.
METHODS:
Genomic DNA was extracted from chorionic samples from four abortuses with monosomy 21 and four without. After quality and purity test, partial DNA was subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation with anti-6mA antibody, and then identified by sequencing. The sequencing data was analyzed by using bioinformatic software for the difference in 6mA between the two groups.
RESULTS:
Analysis of read peaks suggested that the control group have much more 6mA genes (n=4607) compared with the experiment group (n=1059). For chromosome 21, this difference is even more pronounced (8032 vs. 1769). Above results suggested that the level of 6mA modification in monosomy 21 is low. Gene ontology enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis indicated that the absence of 6mA genes in monosomy 21 is closely related to the growth and development of embryo.
CONCLUSION
The 6mA modification of human genes may play a similar role to 5-methylcytosine (5mC) modification during the growth and development of embryos.

Objective:To investigate serum lipidomic profiles in patients with chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD), and to search for biomarkers of CAD.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted. Serum samples were collected from 46 patients with CAD and 16 age- and gender-matched healthy controls in the Guangzhou Institute of Dermatology from April 2011 to December 2021. Changes in serum lipid composition and expression were assessed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Principal component analysis, partial least squares discriminant analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis were performed to screen differential biomarkers, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to screen diagnostic markers. Comparisons of the age and gender distribution between groups were performed using t test and chi-square test, respectively. Results:The 46 CAD patients were aged from 30 to 84 (60.39 ± 10.52) years, including 41 males and 5 females; the 16 healthy controls were aged from 50 to 89 (59.81 ± 10.72) years, including 14 males and 2 females; there were no significant differences in the age or gender distribution between the two groups (age: t = 0.19, P = 0.853; gender: χ2 = 0.03, P = 0.859). Totally, 4 136 lipid molecules belonging to 40 subclasses were identified in the serum samples from CAD patients as well as healthy controls. Twenty-two differential lipid molecules were identified between the CAD patients and healthy controls, belonging to 9 subclasses (triglycerides, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, monofatty acid glycerides, lysophosphatidylcholine, hexose ceramide, diglycerides, and cardiolipin). When the combinations of triglycerides (37.7e) and Na, those of monoglycerides (22.3) and NH 4, or those of phosphatidylserine (18.0_18.1) and H served as diagnostic markers separately, the areas under the ROC curve (AUCs) were all > 0.8, and the AUCs of 16 differential lipid molecules were all > 0.7. Conclusion:The serum lipid composition differed between healthy controls and CAD patients, and the combinations of triglycerides (37.7e) and Na, those of monoglycerides (22.3) and NH 4, and those of phosphatidylserine (18.0_18.1) and H may be promising biomarkers for the diagnosis of CAD.

BACKGROUND:
The new emerging avian influenza A H7N9 virus, causing severe human infection with a mortality rate of around 41%. This study aims to provide a novel treatment option for the prevention and control of H7N9.
METHODS:
H7 hemagglutinin (HA)-specific B cells were isolated from peripheral blood plasma cells of the patients previously infected by H7N9 in Jiangsu Province, China. The human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were generated by amplification and cloning of these HA-specific B cells. First, all human mAbs were screened for binding activity by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Then, those mAbs, exhibiting potent affinity to recognize H7 HAs were further evaluated by hemagglutination-inhibiting (HAI) and microneutralization in vitro assays. Finally, the lead mAb candidate was selected and tested against the lethal challenge of the H7N9 virus using murine models.
RESULTS:
The mAb 6-137 was able to recognize a panel of H7 HAs with high affinity but not HA of other subtypes, including H1N1 and H3N2. The mAb 6-137 can efficiently inhibit the HA activity in the inactivated H7N9 virus and neutralize 100 tissue culture infectious dose 50 (TCID50) of H7N9 virus (influenza A/Nanjing/1/2013) in vitro, with neutralizing activity as low as 78 ng/mL. In addition, the mAb 6-137 protected the mice against the lethal challenge of H7N9 prophylactically and therapeutically.
CONCLUSION
The mAb 6-137 could be an effective antibody as a prophylactic or therapeutic biological treatment for the H7N9 exposure or infection.
