Abstract
Schizophrenia (SZ) is characterized by a variety of complex positive, negative and cognitive symptoms that are differentially expressed in individual patients. Variability in symptom presentation indicates that multiple genes, many involved in neurodevelopment, contribute to the etiology of SZ. The myelin transcription factor 1-like (MYT1L) gene encodes the MYT1L protein that participates in several neurodevelopment pathways. The copy number variant of MYT1L gene is associated with SZ, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MYT1L contribute to major depressive disorder. To explore the association of MYT1L polymorphisms with SZ, we examined six SNPs of MYT1L in a Han Chinese population consisting of 528 paranoid schizophrenic patients and 528 healthy subjects. Our results showed that rs17039584 was significantly associated with SZ (A>G), even after Bonferroni correction. When subjects were divided by gender, the rs10190125 allele and genotype remained significantly associated with SZ in female patients. Moreover, we found that rs6742365 was associated with a family history of SZ in females. Other SNPs did not achieve statistical significance for SZ but were associated with individual phenotypes, as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) inventory. Our findings suggest that MYT1L may represent a susceptibility gene for SZ in the Han Chinese population and show that a specific SNP may increase susceptibility in females.

Abstract
Based on biomass micron fuel (BMF) with particle size of less than 250 microm, a cyclone gasifier concept has been considered in our laboratory for biomass gasification. The concept combines and integrates partial oxidation, fast pyrolysis, gasification, and tar cracking, as well as a shift reaction, with the purpose of producing a high quality of gas. In this paper, experiments of BMF air-stream gasification were carried out by the gasifier, with energy for BMF gasification produced by partial combustion of BMF within the gasifier using a hypostoichiometric amount of air. The effects of ER (0.22-0.37) and S/B (0.15-0.59) and biomass particle size on the performances of BMF gasification and the gasification temperature were studied. Under the experimental conditions, the temperature, gas yields, LHV of the gas fuel, carbon conversion efficiency, stream decomposition and gasification efficiency varied in the range of 586-845 degrees C, 1.42-2.21 N m(3)/kg biomass, 3806-4921 kJ/m(3), 54.44%-85.45%, 37.98%-70.72%, and 36.35%-56.55%, respectively. The experimental results showed that the gasification performance was best with ER being 3.7 and S/B being 0.31 and smaller particle, as well as H(2)-content. And the BMF gasification by air and low temperature stream in the cyclone gasifier with the energy self-sufficiency is reliable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This report introduces a new method for correction of congenital severe upper eyelid ptosis. METHODS The poor levator-function upper eyelid ptosis of 22 patients was corrected using suspension of the frontal muscle flap overlapped with an inferiorly based orbital septum flap as a motor unit, which substituted for the function of the levator muscle. The frontal muscle flap and orbital septum flap were formed in the frontal part and upper eyelid, respectively. Two flaps were overlapped and sutured to suspend the upper eyelid and to correct the congenital severe upper eyelid ptosis. This technique avoids the need for the linking structure necessary with the standard frontalis sling approach and improves the direction of pull to mimic that of a normal levator more closely than that of frontalis muscle advancement. RESULTS The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 20 months (mean, 12 months). A total of 4 patients had bilateral surgery, whereas 18 patients underwent unilateral surgery (26 eyelids). In 22 cases (26 eyes), congenital severe upper eyelid ptosis was treated using suspension of the frontal muscle flap overlapped with an inferiorly based orbital septum flap. After the operation, 17 cases (19 eyes) were followed up and analyzed retrospectively. The average follow-up period was about 12 months (range, 6-20 months). The 17 corrected eyes had a symmetric redundant fold of preseptal skin according to the marginal reflex distance-1 (MRD-1) measurement used to judge efficacy. Two eyes in this series required reoperation for undercorrection. Complications such as ectropion and corneal exposure were avoided. CONCLUSION Use of a frontalis muscle lap overlapped with an inferior based orbital septum flap to manage severe congenital upper eyelid ptosis is a useful procedure that results in substantial cosmetic and functional improvement with few complications.

Abstract
Among microporous systems metal organic frameworks are considered promising materials for molecular adsorption. In this contribution infrared spectroscopy is successfully applied to highlight the positive role played by coordinatively unsaturated Cu2+ ions in HKUST-1, acting as specific interaction sites. A properly activated material, obtained after solvent removal, is characterized by a high fraction of coordinatively unsaturated Cu2+ ions acting as preferential adsorption sites that show specific activities towards some of the most common gaseous species (NO, CO2, CO, N2 and H2). From a temperature dependent IR study, it has been estimated that the H2 adsorption energy is as high as 10 kJ mol(-1). A very complex spectral evolution has been observed upon lowering the temperature. A further peculiarity of this material is the fact that it promotes ortho-para conversion of the adsorbed H2 species.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on human oral cancer cells with regard to cell growth, the cell cycle, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were evaluated. Human oral cancer KB cells were treated with various concentrations of ATRA, and cell growth was then determined using the MTT viability assay. The cell-cycle distribution and ALP activity were analysed using a flow cytometer and chemical analyser, respectively. The KB cells were inhibited by ATRA at concentrations of 1-16 microM (1 microM, P<0.05; 2 microM, P<0.01; 4, 8 and 16 microM, P<0.001) in a dose-dependent manner. ATRA arrested KB cells in the G0/G1 phase. The ALP activity in KB cells was increased by ATRA. This is one of the first studies to focus on the expression of ALP in human head-and-neck carcinoma cells treated with retinoids. These findings suggest that the anti-tumour effects of ATRA on human oral cancer are associated with G0/G1 phase arrest and an increase in ALP activity.

Abstract
Three loci for benign familial infantile seizures (BFIS, traditionally named benign familial infantile convulsions) have been mapped to the chromosome regions of 19q12-13.1, 2q24, and 16p12-q12. We characterized the clinical features of a newly discovered Chinese family with BFIS and investigated whether it is linked to these loci. A four-generation Chinese family was investigated and nineteen family members were examined. Fourteen microsatellite markers covering the three BFIS loci on the chromosome regions of 19q12-13.1, 2q24, and 16p12-q12 were genotyped. Linkage analysis was performed. The main clinical features of our patients include onset of afebrile seizures between 3 and 10 months, normal psychomotor development, normal interictal electroencephalogram (EEG), and autosomal dominant inheritance. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes were found in the proband. Two-point LOD scores are < -2.0 at the recombination rate of 0.0 for all the markers on the 2q24 region. Multipoint LOD scores are < -3.0 for the regions of 19q12-13.1 and 16p12-q12. Linkage analysis showed no evidence that the disease gene of this BFIS family is linked to the chromosome regions previously identified as the critical regions of the disease. Another chromosome region harboring the disease gene may exist in the new Chinese family.
