Objective To constitute the short form of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC). Methods After selecting 6 subtests by regression, this study was based on the development of the Chinese Version of the 6 Subtests Short Form of WISC-Ⅳ based on the data derived from the norm sample via the norm method and equation procedure. Results and Conclusion The best structure of the 6 subtests short form of WISC-Ⅳ consists of 6 subtests: similarities, comprehension, block design, matrix reasoning, digit span and coding, in which the reliability and validity were excellent. The results of division for children of intellectual disabilities is close to that of the full Chinese Version of WISC-Ⅳ.

An analytical method was developed for the simultaneous extraction and determination of eighteen fluoroquinolones (FQs), tetracyclines (TCs) and sulfonamides (SAs) antibiotics from soils using solid phaseextraction and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.Soil sample was firstly extracted by phosphate buffer at pH 3 in combination with 50% of organic modifier acetonitrile, then purified and concentrated by SAX and HLB column.Qualitative and quantitative analysis were carried out for the analyte under the MRM mode after the chromatography separation on Kromasil C_(18)(250 mm x4.6 mm, 5 μm) column.The range of recoveries (in percent) for FQs, TCs, SAs, in the soil matrix was 67.20%-88.98%, 62.23%-85.36%, 55.76%-97.37% with 1.1%-17.2% of relative standard deviation respectively in two different concentra tions.The limits of quantification (LOQ, S/N = 3) were 3.36-8.88 jig/kg, 0.56-0.91 μg/kg and 0.07-1.85 μg/kg for FQs, TCs and SAs, respectively.This method was successfully used to detect 18 anti biotics in 6 soil samples with different land types in Tianjin.Results showed some of the antibiotics in the arable soil were detected, with concentrations of 1.72-119.57 μg/kg.

Culture of pharmaceutical plant is a comprehensive multi-disciplinary theory, which has a long history of application. In order to improve the quality of this course, some reformation schemes have been carried out, including stimulating enthusiasm for learning, refining the basic concepts and theories, promoting the case study, emphasis on latest achievements, enhancing exercise in laboratory and planting base, and guiding students to do scientific and technological innovation. Meanwhile, the authors point out some teaching problems of this course.

Using the theory and method of bibliometrics, this paper made statistical analysis on the research papers of 16 main woody medical plants published in the period of 1998-2007, from aspects of years distribution, journals distribution, themes distribution, authors distribution and research institutes distribution, and so on. The results showed the studies, status quto and development potential of woody medical plants.

OBJECTIVETo reveal the mutative discipline of the contents of the phenols in samples from different provenances.
METHODThe contents of magnolol and honokiol in samples from the filial generation of Guanxi, Hubei and Zhejiang provinces were determined respectively by HPLC.
RESULTThere were significant variations between provenances, the contents of honokiol, magnolol and phenols were the highest in samples from Hubei province, those were the lowest in samples from Zhejiang province. There were not only significant differences in polyphenol content between provenances, but also in families in the same provenance and individuals in families.
CONCLUSIONMagnolia polyphenol content and appearance traits were significantly related. The type with the small convex tip (original form) were superior to other types of M. officinalis judging from the characteristics of tree classification. The high quality of M. officinalis should actually be attributed to their local varieties and the breeding strategy of M. officinalis should be paid full attention to the good provenances, good families and good individuals.

Effects of light quality and germplasm on the growth and effective ingredients of Dendrobium officinale germchit were studied. Under 8 light qualities (red, blue, yellow, green and three different red blue mix light), test-tube plantlets of different families (9 x 66, 17 x 30, 78 x 68) were used in the experiment to measure economical character and determine the content of chlorophyll, polysaccharides and total alkaloids. The results showed that light quality, germplasm and their interaction had a significant effect on the growth of D. officinale germchit. The maximal root length and height of seedling were obtained under red light, under blue light, the stem diameter was thickest and the content of total alkaloids were highest, the content of chlorophyll and polysaccharides of test-tube plantlets under red blue mix light were higher than that of other treatments. This work has laid a foundation for the high quality, low carbon and efficient production of D. officinale, and gives useful tips on production of high quality ingredients.

Background Bus drivers are a high-risk group for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). There are a large number of bus drivers in mega-cities. High volumes of passenger traffic and complexity of road conditions may elevate their risk of WMSDs, but there are few studies related to this group. Objective To investigate the prevalence of WMSDs among bus drivers in a mega-city and to analyze potential influencing factors. Methods Based on cross-sectional study design and self-administered questionnaire, the prevalence of WMSDs in past 12 months were estimated by stratified cluster sampling among bus drivers in a mega-city. Pearson χ2 and logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors for the body regions with a high prevalence. Results The overall prevalence of WMSDs in past 12 months among bus drivers in a mega-city was 49.5% (551/

Both immunosuppressants and antibiotics (ABX) are indispensable for transplant patients. However, the former increases the risk of new-onset diabetes, whereas the latter impacts intestinal microbiota (IM). It is still unclear whether and how the interaction between immunosuppressants and ABX alters the IM and thus leads to glucose metabolism disorders. This study examined the alterations of glucose and lipid metabolism and IM in mice exposed to tacrolimus (TAC) with or without ABX. We found that ABX further aggravated TAC-induced glucose tolerance and increased insulin secretion. Combined treatment resulted in exacerbated lipid accumulation in the liver. TAC-altered microbial community was further amplified by ABX administration, as characterized by reductions in phylum Firmicutes, family Lachnospiraceae, and genus Coprococcus. Analyses based on the metagenomic profiles revealed that ABX augmented the effect of TAC on microbial metabolic function mostly related to lipid metabolism. The altered components of gut microbiome and predicted microbial functional profiles showed significant correlation with hepatic lipid accumulation and glucose disorders. In conclusion, ABX aggravated the effect of TAC on the microbiome and its metabolic capacities, which might contribute to hepatic lipid accumulation and glucose disorders. These findings suggest that the ABX-altered microbiome can amplify the diabetogenic effect of TAC and could be a novel therapeutic target for patients.
