Objective To evaluate the role of calcium channel in the mechanism of the generation and maintenance of bursting firing of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopaminergic neurons in rats.Methods Using the patch clamp technique,we observed the firing pattern switching features after adding 10 μmol/L N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA),compared the changes of whole-calcium current and L-type calcium current with or without NMDA,and analyzed the correlation between the generation of burst firing and L-type calcium channel activation.Results After NMDA treatment,the firing pattern of SNc dopaminergic neurons changed to burst firing,which was compromised by a charastistic high plateau potential and series of action potential on it.The current density of L-type calcium current increased significantly after adding NMDA,which,from (2.86 ±0.26) pA/pF (n =28),significantly increased to (3.75 ± 0.18) pA/pF (n =34 ; t =7.52,P =0.002 8).The high plateau potential was almost abolished with the application of verapamil,a specific antagonist of L-type calcium channel.Consiusion NMDA could induce the firing pattern changed to burst firing in SNc dopaminergic neurons,while L-type calcium channel contributes to the process of generation and maintenance of burst firing.

2-Keto-L-gulonic acid (2-KLG), the precurcor of L-ascorbic acid synthesis, was prepared directly from D-glucose by tandem fermentation. In the first step fermentation Erwinia sp. SCB 247 translated D-glucose to 2,5-diketo-D-gluconate (2,5-DKG), which accumenlated 180 mg 2,5-DKG per ml in the broth. In the second step fermentation Corynebacterium sp. SCB 3058 reduced 2,5-DKG to 2-KLG, which accumulated 35 mg 2-KLG per ml in the broth. This reductive fermentation was obtained under aerobic conditions by adding a hydrogen donor such as glucose.The average yield of five batches fermentation was 56.3 mol%, from D-glucose to 2-KLG in 10 L fermentor.

Objective To explore the methods, dosimetric features and short-term effects of partial breast irradiation carried out by three-dimensional external-beam irradiation (3DCPBI) assisted by active breathing control (ABC) . Methods Computed tomography (CT) simulation assisted by active breathing control (ABC) was carried out for each patient and intended to get CT images in condition of 75% deepest inspiration named moderate deep inspiration breath hold (mDIBH). The extent labeled by the silver slips located in the cavity was delineated as gross target volume (GTV) , GTV plus the margin of 15 mm was defined as planning target volume (PTV). 6 MV X-ray was selected as the radiation source and noncoplanar radiation with four three-dimensional conformal fields was used, the described dose was 34 Gy /10f/5d. The volume of GTV, PTV, the affected whole breast, and the percentage of PTV accounted for the affected whole breast , the percentages of PTV included by 100% , 95% and 90% isodose curve, the percentage of volume of the affected breast irradiated by 34. 0, 27. 2, 20. 4, 13. 6 and 6. 8 Gy , and Dmean,D5,V20 of the lungs and heart were calculated respectively. Acute radiation skin response was recorded and the cosmetic effect of the breast after radiotherapy were appraised, with the local tumor control and survival rate followed. Results The mean of volume ratio of PTV and affected whole breast was 14. 88% ; the mean of the volume covered by 90% isodose curve accounted for 92. 54% of the PTV; the volume irradiated by 34 Gy (100% of described dose) accounted for 17. 23% (mean) of the whole breast and 6. 8 Gy (20% of described dose) for 46. 11% , in other words, the volume covered by 20% of described dose was less than 50% of the whole breast. The Dmean, D5, V20 for the affected lateral lung were 1.97, 9. 25 Gy and 1. 58% , it was 0.20, 0. 87 Gy , and 0% for the unaffected lateral lung. The Dmean,D5, V20 for the heart was 0.65 Gy , 2. 82 Gy , and 0. 85%. Zero grade of acute radiation skin reaction was seen in 14 patients and gradel in 3 patients and there was not equal to or more than grade 2 of skin reaction for all the patients. Cosmetic effect were appeci-ated and satisfaction defined as excellent or good appearance of the irradiated breasts for all the patients. No recurrence of local tumor for all of the patients followed for one year. Therefore, the cosmetic result of 1 yr. follow - up was 100% and no recurence was found after 1 yr. follow - up. The 1-year tumor-free survival rate were all 100%. Conclusions For selected patients with early breast cancer after breast-conservative surgery, 3DCPBI assisted by ABC is feasible, however, the selection criteria for the patients, technique protocol and dose fractionation of 3DCPBI and its influence on late cosmetic effect, local tumor control and survival need to be continuously explored and observed in the future.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological and pathogenic characteristics of a mumps outbreak in a primary school in Xining, Qinghai province.Methods:The epidemiological investigation was carried out to analyze the epidemiological distribution of mumps cases in the outbreak. Serum and throat swab samples were collected from 9 suspected mumps cases for laboratory testing. The throat swab samples detected positive for nucleic acid of mumps virus were subjected to virus isolation. Then the SH gene was amplified by RT-PCR for positive virus isolates, and the genotypes of mumps virus were identified and gene characteristics were analyzed.Results:A total of 13 cases were reported in this outbreak. The age of cases was mainly 7-11 years old, and the cases were mainly concentrated at 8 years old (69.23%. 9/13). The male to female ratio is 1.6: 1. None of the 13 cases had a history of mumps vaccination. And there was an obvious in-class clustering in this mumps outbreak. Of the 9 suspected mumps cases, 8 were double positive for mumps specific IgM antibody and viral nucleic acid. Two positive mumps virus isolates were obtained and identified by genotyping as F genotype, and the SH gene sequence of the two mumps virus isolates had 100% homology.Conclusions:This outbreak is caused by genotype F mumps virus. MuV immunization activities were recommended to conduct among unvaccinated students in primary and secondary schools.
