Sensory, chemical, microbiological quality and bacterial flora on fresh Pseudosciaena crocea were qualitatively and quantitatively investigated. The results showed that total viable counts and total volatile basic nitrogen reached 5. 51?0. 25Log10cfu/g, 7. 84?2. 25mg/100g respectively. 279 strains of bacteria were isolated and 84.2% of them were gram negative bacteria, a small percentages of gram positive bacteria were detected (6. 1% ) . The predominant bacterial floras were composed of Enterobacteriaceae (14. 7% ), Aeromonas spp. (12. 5% ), Acinetobacter spp. (11. 5% ) and Moraxella spp. (11. 1% ) . A few percent of Pseudomonas spp. , Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and other bacteria were also found. The high number of Enterobacteriaceae showed that bacterial contamination on Pseudosciaena crocea, was mainly from cultural water field and polluted seriously by non-borne bacteria, and it should be paid attention to.

Objective:To assess the survival-predictive value of TNM and Lugano staging systems in patients with primary gastro-intestinal lymphoma (PGL). Methods:A total of 73 patients with PGL were recruited from February 2001 to August 2013. All patients were diagnosed according to the TNM and Lugano staging systems. Five-year survival rate was used as the major clinical outcome. Sur-vival curves were plotted using the Kaplan–Meier method and analyzed with the log-rank test. The prognostic value of different vari-ables for clinical outcomes was assessed using the Cox multiple regression model. Results:The median follow-up time of surviving pa-tients was 42.4 months (range:1.3-158.6 months). The estimated 5-year overall survival rate was 77.82%. When diagnosed with the TNM system, the 5-year survival rates in stagesⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, andⅣwere 100%, 90.0%, 67.4%, and 22.2%, respectively (χ2=17.7956, P=0.0005). When staged by the Lugano system, the 5-year survival rates in stagesⅠ,Ⅱ,ⅡE , andⅣwere 100%, 100%, 70.7%, and 46.2%, respectively (χ2=15.6776, P=0.0013). Cox analysis showed that the invasion depth (T) (P=0.0181) and metastasis (M) (P=0.0031) were covariates that were prognostically significant for the overall survival. Conclusion:The TNM staging system is more ac-curate than the Lugano system in predicting the 5-year survival rate of patients with PGL.

Sulfur compounds in the diesel were selectively derived into methylsulfonium salts by reacting with iodomethane in the presence of silver tetrafluoroborate, and characterized by positive-ion electrospray ionization (ESI) fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR MS). The conversion ratios and react selectivities of the methylation for various sulfur compounds were investigated by gas chromatograph coupled with pulse flame photometric detector (GC-PFPD). Result shows that the sulfur compounds in the diesel can react with iodomethane easily at room temperature, the most of sulfur compound derived into methylsulfonium salts;the homologue of benzothiophene get the higher conversion ratio and react selectivity than the homologue of dibenzothiophene (DBT). It is found that primarily sterically hindered alkylated DBT, for example, 4- or 4-, 6- DBT, is recalcitrant to be methylated. Other than benzothiophenes and dibenzothiophenes, one- and two-ring sulfides, as well as other sulfur compounds with a double bond equivalent (DBE) value ranged from 1 to 12 are identified in the diesel.

Objective To observe the effects of low-intensity(650 nm,5 mW)laser irradiation on the pathological changes associated with aortic atherosclerosis using a rabbit model.Methods Thirty-six male Zelanian rabbits were randomly divided into 4 equal groups:a control group,a laser irradiation group,a simvastatin treatment group and a laser plus simvastatin group,and were treated accordingly.After being fed the basic diet for a week,all the animals were fed a high fat diet during the experiment.Blood samples were taken for lipid assay at the 60th day. The animals were sacrificed at the 61st day and their aortas removed for gross and microscopic examination.Any pathological changes were graded as mild,intermediate or severe according to the indicators of atherosclerosis observed.Results There were no significant differences in blood fat levels among the four groups before the experi- ment,but significant differences in serum triglyceride prevailed after the treatments.Low-density lipoprotein(LDL)- C level in the control group was significantly higher than those in the laser irradiation,simvastatin treatment and laser plus simvastatin groups.There was also a very significant difference in high-density lipoprotein(HDL)-C levels among the laser irradiation group,the laser plus simvastatin group and the control group.The pathological changes observed were correlated with blood fat levels.Mild atherosclerosis was found in the treated groups,but severe or in- termediate atherosclerosis was more prevalent in the control group.Conclusion Low-intensity laser irradiation a- lone or combined with simvastatin can significantly decrease blood lipid levels and the severity of pathological changes associated with aortic atherosclerosis in this animal model.

Objective To investigate the relationship between semen trace elements and sperm density and motility in male infer‐tile patients .Methods A total of 116 cases of male infertility patients recruited in this hospital from September 2013 to September 2014 were collected and divided into the sperm density anomaly group (59 cases)and sperm motility anomaly group(57 cases) .Other 56 cases of fertile healthy men were enrolled into the control group .Sperm density and motility were analyzed and levels of calcium , phosphorus ,magnesium ,copper ,icon and zinc were detected in seminal plasma .Results Seminal level of calcium ,phosphorus ,zinc and iron in sperm density anomaly group were significantly lower than those in the control group ,while the level of copper was higher than that in the control group ,had statistically significant differences (P<0 .05) .Seminal level of copper in sperm motility a‐nomaly group was higher than that in the control group ,while levels of zinc and iron were lower than those in the control group ,had statistically significant differences (P< 0 .05) .Conclusion Sperm motility and density are significantly correlated with trace ele‐ments levels in seminal plasma .Routine determination of trace elements in seminal plasma in infertile men should be recommended , which could be helpful in fertility assessment and treatment .

Biodenitrogenation of petroleum oil was investigated by a previously isolated carbazole-degrader Pseudomonas sp. XLDN4-9. In a tetradecane-aqueous phase system, biodegradation of carbazole was enhanced by the presence of n-tetradecane. And strain XLDN4-9 was capable of absorbing 95.2% of 2 g/L carbazole dissolved in diesel within 15 hours. Significant denitrogentation of crude oil, diesel and lubricanting oil was detected by strain XLDN4-9. Removal of carbazole, methylcarbazole, and dimethylcarbazole in diesel was confirmed by using GC-MS. After 3 days, 99% of carbazole and 15% of dimethyl carbazole was degraded. And the removal rate of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-methyl carbazole was determined to be 63.4%, 87.6%, 78.4%, and 66.5% respectively.

Aim The therapeutic effect of "shen-bing NQ 5", a preparation of traditional Chi-nese medicine on adenine-induced chronic nephritis in rats was studied. MethodsChronic nephritis in rats was induced by giving adenine 80 mg?kg-1?d-1 orally. Themodel rats were treated by "shen-bing No 5" in different dosages. Levels of urea ni-trogen(BUN), creatinine (Cr), total protein(TP), and Na+ in serum and or urine weredetected and the changes of kidney were obseraed. Results The "shen-bing No 5"markedly lowered the levels of urine protein in 24 hours, BUN in urine and BUN, Na+in serum (P
