Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) are the two important international conventions in the disarmament field ,aimed to eliminate chemical and biological weapons by prohibiting the development, production, acquisition, stockpiling and use of these weapons .Recently, research and development of sci-ence and technology continue to advance rapidly .A key feature is convergence of science disciplines .This has become a new force to speed up development of science and economy .In particular , the convergence of chemistry and biology , together with the rapid advances in life sciences , has been evident in its remarkable contribution to the developments of pharmaceutics, health care, green chemistry and environmental protection .On the other hand, the convergence of chemistry and biology also has significant implications for the implementation of CWC and BWC .In this article, we summarize the new trends in the convergence of chemistry and biology and its impact on the conventions .

Objective To design a new kind of wireless monitoring thermometer which can help the doctor to monitor the patient's temperature without touching them. Methods The system is based on a new kind of single chip MSP430F413,the thermistor was used in temperature detect part; the single chip's comparator A and timer A was used in A/D converter part to realize slop A/D; the NRF2401 chip was used in wireless transmission part; the system is connected with PC in the way of serial communications. Results The thermometer can work in -40 to 85 ℃ when the temperature is near animal heat,the thermometer is most accurate which precision is 0.1 ℃. Conclusion The system can measure the patient's temperature accurately,at the same time,the temperature data is sent to the receiving end in the way of wireless communication,and then data is sent to PC,which PC can record the temperature curve data and help the doctors to diagnose.

Plant expression cassette for TaDREB from wheat was constructed into plasmid pBIR1.Aloe stems were used as explants for the transformation mediated by Agrobaterium.Infected tissues were selected using G418 to generate transformants.In total,58 resistant plantlets to the antibiotics were obtained from the infected explants.The designed primers according to the selective gene npt II and the target gene TaDREB were used to analyze all of the G418 resistant plantlets.PCR results demonstrated that TaDREB were successful transferred into aloe genomic with the transformation efficiency of 0.5%.The transgenic aloe plants were treated under 4℃ for two weeks and then at-20℃ for 30min.The treatment showed that the leaves of negative plants appeared severe evidence of freeze injury with brown,withered and translucent,while the positive plants appeared good growing condition.The activities of enzymes such as peroxidase(POD)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)of transgenic plants which were stressed for 14 days under low temperature were analyzed.The results indicated that the trend of SOD and POD activities in transgenic plants was down-up-up-up,and that in non-transgenic plants was down-up-down-down.The average value of relative electrical conductivity in the positive plants was 0.456 which was lower than 0.685 in the negative plants.It is supposed that transformation of the kind of gene could improve the resistant ability of aloe to low temperature.

OBJECTIVE To find out the status about detection and drug resistance of Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu) and Mycoplasma hominis(Mh) of urogenital tract infection in Shaoxing area of Zhejiang Province.METHODS The detections and drug sensitive tests of Uu and Mh adopting the reagent boxes produced by bioMerieux Company in France were made.RESULTS In 2678 samples of suspicious urogenital tract infection patients,980 samples cultured of mycoplasma were positive,and the positive rate was 36.6%.Among these cases,763 samples(28.5%) were Uu positive;116 samples(4.3%) were Mh positive.In the drug sensitive test,Uu and Mh were most sensitive to PRI,JOS,DOX and TET.To CFLX,OFL,ERY,CM and AM,they had the highest level of drug resistance.CONCLUSIONS The clinical therapy of mycoplasma infection ought to choose the appropriate antibiotics based on the results of the drug sensitive test of the laboratory.

Objective To develop the clinical application and the method for functional repair in fa- cial nerve defect in parotideetomy of parotid carainoma.Methods Defect of facial nerve in parotidectomy was repaired by transplantation of sternocleidomastoid muscle-great auricular nerve flap with anastomosis of great auricular nerve-facial nerve under microscope.Results Eight eases of facial nerve defect in parotid carcinoma were repaired by this method.The facial nerve function almost recovered and access to normal dur- ing 3 to 6 month after operation in this series.6 of 8 patients achieved a gradeⅡ,2 of 8 patients achieved a gradeⅢ.Conclusion Reconstruction of facial nerve defect using sternocleidomastoid muscle-great auricu- lar nerve flap can provide better blood supply for the plerosis and regeneration of nerve.The nerve flap also ac- celerate the functional recovery after nerve grafting.

Background The extraocular muscles (EOMs) Pulley is considered as the functional origins of the recti EOMs,it is determinants of ocular motility.Objective The structure of the connective tissue around EOMs in cat was studied,and the role of EOMs Pulley to ocular movement was investigated.Methods Five adult cats were involved.The gross anatomy of an orbit in each cat was observed.The other orbit was processed with paraffin imbedding and coronal serial sections.A murine monocolonal antibody to α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) was used to show smooth muscle,while Masson trichrome stain was used to show muscle and collagen,and Weigert stain to show elastin.Results An encircling ring of collagen circled EOM was thin and connected to the orbital layer of muscle fiber loosely.Less elastin fibers and little smooth muscle cells were embedded in the collagen ring and connective band.Collagen ring around medial rectus and the connective band between medial rectus and inferior rectus was not more significantly developed than other bands.Conclusions The connective tissue around EOMs in cat may be related to its function of ocular movement,which is not developed.

The effects of pretreatment methods of Jerusalem artichoke tubers on microbial lipids fermentation with an oleaginous yeast strain Rhodosporidium toruloides Y4 were investigated in shaking flask culture.The yeast strain accumulated substantial amount of lipids using either purple-or white-skinned Jerusalem artichoke tubers as sole carbon and energy source.When cells were cultured on the extracted juice or the acidhydrolysate,cellular lipid content reached 40%(w/w),while cultured on the pulp,the white-skinned tubershadhigher lipid productivity,yielding 12.1 g lipids per100 g dried tubers.Major fatty acid constituents of microbial lipids were those contained 16-and 18-carbon atoms based on GC analysis,which is quite similar to traditional vegetable oil.Microbial lipids prepared from Jerusalem artichoke can be applied to biodiesel production.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the characteristic of colonic transmission in functional constipation (FC) and the effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Sini Powder (SP) on it.

METHODSThe colonic transmission time (CTT) of 36 patients with FC (the FC group) and 22 healthy subjects (control group) was measured through colonic transmission test, and CTT of entire colon and that of various subsections was calculated with Hinton method and Arhan method respectively. After then, the FC group was treated with SP for 7 days, and CTT was detected again after treatment.

RESULTSBefore treatment, body mass index (BMI) was higher, CTT of entire colon, left half colonic section, and sigmoid-rectal section were longer in the FC group than those in the control group (P < 0.05), no statistical difference in CTT of right half colon was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). After FC patients being treated with SP, their CTT of whole colon, left half colonic section and sigmoid-rectal section were significantly shortened (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONFC patients were characterized by increased BMI and CTT prolonged and unevenly distributed in subsections, especially in the left half colon, sigmoid and rectum; SP could shorten the CTT in FC patients.
