Abstract
Improving the humification of compost through a synergistic approach of biotic and abiotic methods is of great significance. This study employed a composite reagent, comprising Fenton-like agents and effective microorganisms (EM) to improve humification. This composite reagent increased humic-acid production by 37.44 %, reaching 39.82 g kg-1, surpassing the control group. The composite reagent synergistically promoted micromolecular fulvic acid and large humic acid production. Collaborative mechanism suggests that Fenton-like agents contributed to bulk residue decomposition and stimulated the evolution of microbial communities, whereas EMs promoted highly aromatic substance synthesis and adjusted the microbial community structure. Sequencing analysis indicates the Fenton-like agent initiated compost decomposition by Firmicutes, and EM reduced the abundance of Virgibacillus, Lentibacillus, and Alcanivorax. Applied as an organic fertilizer in Brassica chinensis L. plantations, the composite reagent considerably improved growth and photosynthetic pigment content. This composite reagent with biotic and abiotic components provides a learnable method for promoting humification.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical and genetic features of patients with mitochondrial pyruvate carrier deficiency (MPYCD). Methods: This was a case series research. The clinical data, genetic characteristics, and glutamine treatment efficacy of 3 patients diagnosed with MPYCD at the Department of Neurology, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University and Department of Pediatrics, Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital, from August 2019 to June 2023 were retrospectively collected. A literature search with "MPC1 gene" "MPC2 gene and" "mitochondrial pyruvate carrier deficiency" as keywords was conducted at the Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and PubMed (up to June 2023). Clinical and genetic characteristics of patients with MPYCD were summarized. Results: Case 1 was a 3 years and 11 months old boy, while case 2 was a 4 years and 10 months old boy and case 3 was an 8 years and 9 months old girl. Case 2 and case 3 were siblings from one consanguineous family. All 3 patients presented with general developmental delay, growth failure and elevated serum lactate. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed subtle bilateral symmetrical T2 signal hyperintensity in basal ganglia and thalamus in case 1, but normal in case 2 and 3. Trio-WES revealed case 1 harboring compound heterozygous missense variants c.208G>A (p.Ala70Thr) and c.290G>A (p.Arg97Gln) in MPC1 gene, while case 2 and 3 revealed a homozygous variant c.290G>A (p.Arg97Gln) in the same gene. All 3 cases were diagnosecl as MPYCD. Clinical symptoms including motor ability, cognition and activity endurance were improved in these 3 patients after taking glutamine for 2 years. A total of 5 articles published in English were reviewed, and no Chinese literature was found. Including these 3 cases, 15 cases were enrolled for analysis. Eleven patients carried MPC1 gene variants and 4 cases carried MPC2 gene variants. Except for 3 cases died during prenatal period, 9 of 12 enrolled born cases were onset before 6 months old. The most common clinical symptoms were mental and motor general developmental delay, microcephaly, growth failure and hypotonia. All patients had elevated blood lactate and pyruvate, but the ratio of lactate/pyruvate was normal. Seven patients performed cranial MRI, 3 exhibited non-specific changes, 2 showed bilateral symmetrical T2 signal hyperintensity in basal ganglia and thalamus, and 3 were normal. A total of 5 MPC1 gene missense variants and 2 MPC2 gene variants were identified in 15 cases. Conclusions: Onset age of patients with MPYCD is usually within 6 months. The main clinical characteristics are developmental delay, microcephaly and growth failure, accompanied by increased serum lactate and pyruvate. Glutamine supplement could lead to clinical improvements.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) in diabetic ischemic heart disease. Methods: We established an in vitro model of high glucose and hypoxia/reoxygenation in H9c2 rat myocardial cells. Cultured cells were divided into four groups: Control, high glucose (HG), hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) and HG+H/R. Changes in PDI expression mediated by PDI adenovirus(Ad-PDI) infection and siRNA(PDI-siRNA) transfection in myocardial cells were observed by inverted fluorescence microscopy. We also measured lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) activity and malondialdehyde(MDA) and high molecular weight(HMW)-APN concentrations. PDI, APN, cleaved caspase-3, and glucose regulated protein 78 (Grp78) protein expression were detected. Results: PDI expression was significantly decreased in the HG, H/R and HG+H/R groups compared to the Control group; however, LDH activity[(179.7±10.4) U/L、(218.4±18.4) U/L、(328.2±5.3) U/L vs (91.0±11.0) U/L], MDA concentration[(7.0±0.4) μmol/L、(10.0±1.0) μmol/L、(11.7±1.0) μmol/L vs (4.2±1.8) μmol/L], cleaved caspase-3, and Grp78 expression were increased. Interestingly, APN and HMW-APN expression were decreased [(2.01±0.21) μg/L、(1.64±0.27) μg/L、(1.20±0.14) μg/L vs (2.62±0.12) μg/L, all P<0.05]. Over expression of PDI attenuated high glucose and hypoxia/reoxygenation induced apoptosis and oxidative stress in H9c2 cardiomyocytes(all P<0.05), and simultaneously increased APN and HMW-APN expression [(2.86±0.03) μg/L vs (3.03±0.10) μg/L、(2.06±0.05) μg/L vs (2.31±0.06) μg/L、(1.83±0.07) μg/L vs (1.96±0.11) μg/L、(1.20±0.06) μg/L vs (1.39±0.09) μg/L]. PDI-siRNA transfection increased LDH activity, MDA concentration, and cleaved caspase-3 and Grp78 expression, and decreased APN and HMW-APN expression [(0.75±0.09) μg/L vs (0.59±0.09) μg/L、(0.62±0.04) μg/L vs (0.53±0.05) μg/L、(0.55±0.14) μg/L vs (0.51±0.12) μg/L、(0.48±0.12) μg/L vs (0.35±0.08) μg/L] in response to different treatments in cultured H9c2 cardiomyocytes (all P<0.05). Conclusion: PDI may regulate the expression of APN and HMW-APN, and play an important role in the function of diabetic ischemia-reperfusion cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of one and two blastocysts in the freeze-thaw transplantation cycle. Methods: Totally 3 675 cycles of frozen thawed blastocyst transplantation in Reproductive Medical Center of the Second Nanning People's Hospital from January 2012 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the quantity and quality of transferred blastocysts, all the patient were divided into two groups: (1) one embryo group, including the single excellent group (one high quality blastocyst) and the single non excellent group (one non high quality blastocyst); (2) two embryo groups, including the double excellent group (two high quality blastocysts), the one excellent and one non excellent group (one high quality blastocyst+one non high quality blastocyst), and the two non excellent group (two non high quality blastocysts were transplanted). Then the patients were divided into subgroups according to their ages: less than 35 years old, 35-40 years old and over 40 years old. On this basis, the implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, multiple birth rate and live birth rate were compared. Results: (1) The implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, multiple birth rate, preterm birth rate and live birth rate were all significantly increased, while the abortion rate was significantly reduced in the double blastocyst group (all P<0.05). (2) In the group of<35 years old, the rates of multiple birth and preterm birth in the double blastocyst group were significantly higher than those in the single optimal group (P<0.01). (3) In the 35-40 years old group, the clinical pregnancy rate, multiple birth rate and live birth rate of the double excellent group were significantly higher than those of the single excellent group (P<0.01); while the clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate of the one excellent and one non excellent group and the double non excellent group were not significantly different from those of the single excellent group (P>0.05), but the multiple birth rate and preterm birth rate were significantly increased (P<0.01). The clinical pregnancy rate, live birth rate and multiple birth rate of double non optimal group were significantly higher than those of single non optimal group (P<0.01). (4) In the group>40 years old, there were no significant differences in clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate between double non optimal group and single non optimal group (P>0.05). Conclusion: No matter the age of the patients, if the couple have high quality blastocysts, we should give priority to single high quality blastocyst transplantation; even if they have no high quality blastocysts, we should also consider single blastocyst transplantation, in order to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy and improve the cumulative live birth rate, so as to improve the pregnancy outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of 24 patients with cysticercosis of the fourth ventricle, and to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of microsurgery. METHODS The clinical data of 24 patients with cysticercosis of the fourth ventricle referred the Department of Neurosurgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University from January 2000 to December 2018 were collected, and the clinical features, imaging characteristics, surgical methods, therapeutic efficacy and postoperative complications were analyzed. RESULTS The 24 patients included 15 men and 9 women, and had a mean age of 43.5 years (range, 16 to 68 years). Preoperative imaging examinations showed obvious dilatation of bilateral lateral ventricles, the third ventricle and middle cerebral aqueduct, and spherical or cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle. There were 18 cases positive for antibodies against cysticercus, and 3 of the 21 cases were egg positives. All 24 cases received microsurgery, including 8 cases via the median aperture approach, 7 cases via the median aperture-cerebellar vermis approach, and 9 cases via the transcerebellomedullary fissure approach. There were 17 cases with complete delivery of vesicles, 5 cases with vesicle rupture and 2 cases with extraction of cystic fluid followed by separation and removal of cystic wall. All cases had obvious retraction of the ventricular system and disappearance of intracranial hypertension following surgery. There were 19 cases (79.17%) with well recovery, and 5 cases (20.83%) with aggravation or development of cerebellar ataxia, which recovered following treatment for 1 to 2 weeks. CONCLUSIONS The transcerebellomedullary fissure approach is a safe and lowly invasive approach for the treatment of cysticercosis of the fourth ventricle.

Abstract
Objective: To quantify optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA) images and to explore potential clinical values of each parameter in diabetic patients. Methods: A case-control and cross-sectional study of diabetic (129 eyes) and healthy (32 eyes) subjects was conducted. 3-mm OCTA scan, fundus photography and best corrected visual acuity measurement were performed. Image-pro plus was used to calculate microvascular and foveal avascular indices in nonsegmented and segmented OCTA images. Intraclass correlation coefficient and relative standard deviation were used to examine the reliability, reproducibility and accuracy. Correlation of each parameter was calculated, and so was the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: Vessel density (VD) of diabetic patients measured in the nonsegmented retinal layer (RL) and superficial retinal layer (SRL) was 49.146%±6.097%, 44.038%±5.641%, respectively, significantly lower than healthy subjects 52.212%±6.250%, 46.698%±5.417% (t=2.534, 2.405; P=0.012, 0.017), and vessel length (VL) was (19.905±2.285)mm, (17.596±2.149)mm, (14.479±2.091)mm in the three layers, which was significantly shorter than that in the healthy control group (21.037±2.185)mm, (18.739±1.994)mm, (15.343±2.266)mm (t=2.529, 2.731, 2.059; P=0.012, 0.007, 0.041). Compared with non-diabetes, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in diabetes was (0.441±0.167)mm(2), larger compared to health eyes 0.352±0.109mm(2) (t=-2.831, P=0.005). FAZ demonstrated a negative correlation with VD and VL in RL or SRL(r=-0.227, -0.338; P<0.05) (r=-0.241, -0.332; P<0.05), while best corrected visual acuity showed a negative correlation with VL in each layer (r=-0.225, -0.201, -0.250; P=0.01, 0.022, 0.004), and VD in DRL (r=-0.197, P=0.026). All parameters showed high reproducibility between graders(intraclass correlation coefficient>0.965), while relative standard deviation was greater than 3.049%. AR had the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.737), compared with AI (0.724). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates good reliability, reproducibility and accuracy of quantification of OCTA images and reveals changes of VD, VL and FAZ in diabetes, which may occur earlier than vision impairment. AR and AL may have great values in prompting early diabetic retinopathy in diabetic patients. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2019, 55:273-279).

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between ulcerative colitis (UC) susceptibility and tumor necrosis factor superfamily member (TNFSF) 15 gene polymorphisms and haplotypes in Han nationality in Zhejiang province of China. Methods: A total of 408 UC patients and 574 healthy controls were recruited in this study. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms of TNFSF15 (rs3810936, rs4263839, rs4979462) were examined by improved multiple ligase detection reaction (iMLDR) technique. Analyses of linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype were performed by Haploview 4.2 software in all study subjects. Results: The variant allele A and genotype (GA+AA) of rs4263839 were less frequent in UC patients than in controls (45.34% vs. 50.17%, P=0.035;68.38% vs. 76.66%, P=0.004). According to the severity and location of disease, UC patients were divided into different subgroups. After multiple comparison correction(α=0.012 5), the frequencies of variant allele A and genotype (GA+AA) of rs4263839 were lower in patients with severe UC than in the controls (37.69% vs. 50.17%, P=0.007; 60.00% vs. 76.66%, P=0.004). Similar findings were also drawn for patients with extensive colitis in contrast with the controls (42.22% vs. 50.17%, P=0.009; 63.33% vs. 76.66%, P<0.001). Furthermore, the haplotype analysis indicated that three SNPs above were in a strong LD. The frequency of haplotype TAC was lower in UC patients than in the controls(40.83% vs. 46.04%, P=0.023). Also it was less prevalent in patients with severe UC and patients with extensive colitis when compared with controls respectively (33.38% vs. 46.04%, P=0.005;37.22% vs. 46.04%, P=0.003). Conclusions: TNFSF15 (rs4263839) variation might not only reduce the risk of UC, but also affect the severity and lesion location of UC. The haplotype TAC formed by rs3810936, rs4263839 and rs4979462 might be related to a lower risk of UC, especially in patients with severe colitis or patients with extensive colitis.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship of Crohn's disease (CD) susceptibility to aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) polymorphisms and haplotypes in Han population in Wenzhou city, China. Methods: A total of 310 CD patients and 573 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled in our study. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of AhR(rs10249788,rs2158041,rs2066853) were determined by the improved multiple ligase detection reaction technique. Unconditional logistic regression analyses was applied to analyze the allelic and genotypic differences of each SNP between CD patients and controls, as well as their influence on the clinicopathologic characteristics in CD patients. Analyses of linkage disequilibrium and haplotype were performed by Haploview 4.2 software in all study subjects. Results: Compared with the controls, the variant allele (T) and genotype (CT+TT) of (rs2158041) were evidently decreased among CD patients (19.52% vs. 25.04%, P=0.009; 34.19% vs. 44.68%, P=0.003). According to "the Montreal Classification Standards" , CD patients were divided into different subgroups. The variant allele (T) and genotype (CT+TT) of (rs2158041) were significantly lower in patients with terminal ileum CD than in controls (16.79% vs. 25.04%, P=0.005; 28.24% vs. 44.68%, P=0.001). Similar conclusions were also drawn in patients with constricting disease when compared with the controls (15.20% vs. 25.04%, P=0.003; 28.43% vs. 44.68%, P=0.003). The three SNPs above were shown to be in a linkage disequilibrium. Compared with the controls respectively, the frequency of haplotype (CCG) was increased in CD patients (44.73% vs. 39.60%, P=0.039), whereas that of haplotype (CTG) was decreased (18.02% vs. 22.78%, P=0.047). Conclusions: AhR (rs2158041) variation might influence the risk as well as the location and behavior of CD. The haplotype (CCG) possibly increase the risk of CD development, whereas haplotype (CTG) might decrease it.

Abstract
Several long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) might be correlated with the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) and serve as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker. However, the exact expression pattern of small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) in colorectal cancer and its clinical significance remains unclear. The level of SNHG12 was detected by qRT-PCR in CRC tissues and CRC cells. MTT assay and colony formation assay were performed to examine the cell proliferation of CRC cells transfected with pcDNA-SNHG12 or si-SNHG12. Flow cytometry technology was used to detect cell cycle and cell apoptosis of CRC cells transfected with pcDNA-SNHG12 or si-SNHG12. The protein level of cell cycle progression-related molecules, including cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK4, CDK6), cyclin D1 (CCND1) and cell apoptosis-related molecule caspase 3 was detected by western blot. The effect of SNHG12 knockdown was examined in vivo. Increased levels of SNHG12 were observed in CRC tissues and in CRC cells. SNHG12 promoted the cell proliferation of CRC cells. In addition, SNHG12 overexpression boosted the cell cycle progression of SW480 cells transfected with pcDNA-SNHG12 and SNHG12 knockdown inhibited the cell cycle progression of HT29 cells transfected with si-SNHG12. SNHG12 also inhibited the cell apoptosis of CRC cells. We also found that SNHG12 increased the expression of cell cycle-related proteins and suppressed the expression of caspase 3. Our results suggest that SNHG12 promoted cell growth and inhibited cell apoptosis in CRC cells, indicating that SNHG12 might be a useful biomarker for colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Anubias spp. are very popular aquatic plants that are native to Africa. Anubias barteri is a broadleaf Anubias and is a popular choice for aquariums because of its robust size. In China, broadleaf Anubias is usually planted in sand, with sponges around the rhizome, in small plastic baskets in aquatic plant nurseries. In December 2010, a survey of phytoparasitic nematodes was conducted in the nurseries in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. Many second-stage juveniles of a Meloidogyne sp. were detected from the roots of A. barteri, but no root galls were found. To identify these juveniles, molecular identification was performed with PCR. The DNA sequence between CO II and l-rRNA of the mitochondrial gene of single juveniles was amplified with universal primers of Meloidogyne, #C2F3 (5'-GGTCAATGTTCAGAAATTTGTGG-3') and #1108 (5'-TACCTTTGACCAATCACGCT-3') (3). The amplified fragments were approximately 1.1 kb long and could not be digested with restrictive enzyme HinfI. The specific fragments were then sequenced. The blast search result revealed that the DNA sequence (GenBank Accession No. JQ446377) had 99 to 100% identity with submitted sequences of Meloidogyne arenaria (GenBank Accession Nos. EU364879, GQ266686, and AY635610). The other extracted juveniles were inoculated into sterile, potted, water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) in the greenhouse to obtain more nematodes. After 40 days, root galls and female egg masses were clearly observed, and biochemical, molecular, and morphological identifications were conducted. Isoenzyme phenotype (esterase and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) patterns) and the perineal pattern of several gravid females were the same as M. arenaria (1,2), and PCR amplification of single juveniles produced identical fragments as previously found. Single egg masses were collected and juveniles were hatched out and inoculated onto 10 nematode-free plants of A. barteri in a greenhouse. After 40 days, roots of A. barteri exhibited inconspicuous small galls, and the same identification procedures were conducted as mentioned previously. Isoenzyme phenotypes, perineal patterns of adult females, and amplified fragments of single juveniles were identical to those of M. arenaria. M. arenaria is one of the most important root-knot nematodes and causes great losses in many crops around the world (2). To our knowledge, this is the first record of M. arenaria parasitizing aquatic plants of broadleaf Anubias in China and elsewhere, and A. barteri is a new host of M. arenaria. The economic importance of this nematode to A. barteri production is currently unknown. However, because A. barteri is a commercial aquatic plant, more attention should be given by producers to prevent this nematode from becoming an important pathogen. In addition, this finding is very helpful for relevant plant nematode quarantine work. References: (1) P. R. Esbenshade and A. C. Triantaphyllou. J. Nematol. 17:1, 1985. (2) R. N. Perry et al.

Abstract
An indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of hexestrol (HES), an antibiotic forbidden for use in livestock farming, has been developed. Conditions of ELISA have been optimized by varying the concentrations of the coating conjugate (HES-ovalbumin), anti-HES antiserum, casein, and Tween 20. In the absence of Tween 20 in the reaction mixture, the detection limit (IC10) equaled 0.01 ng/ml, IC50 equaled 0.17 ng/ml, and the working range (IC20-IC80) equaled 0.03-0.86 ng/ml, while, in the presence of 0.05% Tween 20, these values equaled 0.05 ng/ml, 2.9 ng/ml, and 0.26-32.0 ng/ml, respectively. Standard deviation of the analysis results did not exceed 5.4%. If ELISA was performed in the absence of detergents, the recovery value upon HES determination in spiked beef samples ranged from 74 to 147%.

A 5 year individual-based data set was used to estimate size-specific survival rates in a wild brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis population in a stream network encompassing a mainstem and three tributaries (1.5-6 m wetted width), western Massachusetts, U.S.A. The relationships between survival in summer and temperature and flow metrics derived from continuous monitoring data were then tested. Increased summer temperatures significantly reduced summer survival rates for S. fontinalis in almost all size classes in all four sites throughout the network. In contrast, extreme low summer flows reduced survival of large fish, but only in small tributaries, and had no significant effects on fish in smaller size classes in any location. These results provide direct evidence of a link between season-specific survival and environmental factors likely to be affected by climate change and have important consequences for the management of both habitats and populations.

Abstract
A general and broad class selective competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of the alpha-cyano pyrethroids was developed. One class specific hapten, the 5-(3-benzylphenyl)-5-cyanopentanoic acid (CPBA-BE), was conjugated with BSA as an immunogen. Polyclonal antibodies, PY-antibodies, were generated. The assay with the most selectivity for the family alpha-cyano pyrethroids such as cyphenothrin was further optimized and tested for tolerance to cosolvent, pH, and ionic strength changes. The IC(50) values of the optimized immunoassay were 4.58 microg L(-1) for cyphenothrin, 5.62 microg L(-1) for fenpropathrin, 7.08 microg L(-1) for deltamethrin, 10.72 microg L(-1) for cypermethrin, 19.95 microg L(-1) for flucythrinate, and 28.18 microg L(-1) for esfenvalerate. The cross-reactivities of cyphenothrin, fenpropathrin, deltamethrin, cypermethrin, flucythrinate, and esfenvalerate were 100%, 81.49%, 64.68%, 42.72%, 22.96%, and 16.25%, respectively. The low detection limit (LDL) of this assay was 0.107 microg L(-1) for cyphenothrin. This method was used for the detection of the alpha-cyano pyrethroids in Tai lake water.

Abstract
The tolerant-selenium exopolysaccharide-producing bacterial strain Enterobacter cloacae Z0206 was batch cultured in PDA medium containing optimal concentration of sodium selenite. Selenium was accumulated efficiently in Enterobacter cloacae Z0206 during cultivation with selenium. Inorganic selenite could be transformed into organic forms. Selenium-enriched exopolysaccharide (Se-ECZ-EPS-1) was purified from the fermentation liquid. Selenium content of Se-ECZ-EPS-1 was 12.962microg/g. Se-ECZ-EPS-1 with Mw of 29,300Ka was composed of Glc, Gal and Mann with molar ratio of 8.530:0.061:0.706. Administration of Se-ECZ-EPS-1 to cyclophosphamide (CP)-exposed animals resulted in improvement of cellular and humoral immune responses. These findings indicated that Se-ECZ-EPS-1 may act as potent immunomodulatory agents.

Abstract
Antioxidant enzymes (AOEs), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase (CAT) play an important role in protecting tissues from reactive oxygen species (ROS) reactions. The objective of this study was to determine the developmental regulation of AOEs mRNA levels and activity in tissues of different growing phases pigs (Sus scrofa). Nine different tissues were collected from thirty Duroc x Landrace x Yorkshire male pigs with six animals in each age (1, 42, 84, 126 and 168 days) to assay for GPx, CAT and CuZnSOD mRNA expression and activities. Results showed that GPx, CAT, and CuZnSOD mRNA levels in liver increased (P<0.05) at the first stage, and thereafter their levels began to decline (P<0.05), and the maximal mRNA levels of these AOEs were seen at the age of 42, 84, and 126 days, respectively. In Muscle, GPx and CAT mRNA level increased from 1 to 84 days and 1 to 126 days, respectively, and thereafter their levels began to decline, whereas CuZnSOD mRNA level steadily increased (P<0.05) following birth. Activity expression of AOEs in selected tissues was increased as pigs became older (P<0.05) with the exception of CuZnSOD activity in muscle, but changes in AOEs mRNA levels between ages did not fully account for all changes in activity. GPx and CuZnSOD mRNA were most abundantly expressed in muscle, while CAT mRNA were most abundant in brain. AOEs may exert cell and tissue-specific roles in metabolic regulation beyond their mere antioxidant potential. In conclusion, expression of AOEs mRNA and activity exhibit different developmental profiles in various tissues of pigs, and the regulation of AOEs is not tightly coordinated in either tissue.

Abstract
The effects of a dried Bacillus subtilis culture on the egg qualities of layers were studied. Nine hundred and sixty 25-wk-old Lohmann Brown layers were randomly divided into 5 groups with 192 layers in each group. Layers in group 1 were fed a control diet. The remaining groups received the control diet that contained either 20 mg of zinc bacitracin/kg and 4 mg of colistin sulfate/kg or 500, 1,000, or 1,500 mg of B. subtilis culture/ kg, respectively. The results showed improvements in egg production, feed consumption, and feed conversion (P < 0.05) of layers when 500 mg of B. subtilis culture/kg was added to the diets. The results also showed some special improvements in this group, including increases in eggshell thickness, yolk color, and Haugh unit, and decreases in yolk cholesterol concentration (P < 0.05). However, excessive doses of B. subtilis culture did not improve the performance of layers.

Abstract
In the processes that are used to produce single-walled nanotubes (electric arc, laser ablation, and chemical vapor deposition), the typical lengths of tangled nanotube bundles reach several tens of micrometers. We report that long nanotube strands, up to several centimeters in length, consisting of aligned single-walled nanotubes can be synthesized by the catalytic pyrolysis of n-hexane with an enhanced vertical floating technique. The long strands of nanotubes assemble continuously from arrays of nanotubes, which are intrinsically long.

Abstract
BACKGROUND PURPOSE Restricture after internal urethrotomy is the major limitation to the long-term success of the procedure. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of intraurethral brachytherapy after internal urethrotomy or transurethral scar resection on recurrent urethral stricture. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 1998 to June 1999, catheter-based intraurethral brachytherapy with 192-iridium was performed in 17 patients with recurrent urethral stricture to prevent restricture after internal urethrotomy or transurethral resection of scar. The radiation was repeated within 3 days after surgery to reach a total dosage of 1000 to 1500 cGy. RESULTS During the follow-up (range 14-27 months; mean 20 months), two patients had dysuria, including one patient with an atonic detrusor muscle. The other patient needed self-dilation. Fifteen patients presented normal voiding. The stricture recurred 3 months later in only one patient, so the restricture rate is 7%. No significant complication was observed associated with brachytherapy during the follow-up. CONCLUSION Intraurethral brachytherapy after internal urethrotomy or transurethral resection of scar is a safe and effective treatment for recurrent urethral strictures.

Abstract
Contusive spinal cord injury (SCI) may result in central neuropathic pain marked by allodynia-like features in the dermatomes close to the level of injury. The aim of this study was to compare the laminar distribution of activated neurons (as determined by c-fos immediate early gene expression) in the spinal cord immediately above the level of a SCI in rats with or without allodynia-like features. Non-noxious mechanical stimulation was applied to half the animals in the dermatomes corresponding to the level of injury prior to perfusion. Stimulation resulted in a significant increase in c-fos labelling in all laminae of the spinal dorsal horn in the segment immediately above the level of injury only in allodynia animals. Animals that had allodynia also demonstrated a significant increase in the level of c-fos labelling in lamina III, IV and V of the dorsal horn without stimulation. Thus, allodynia following SCI is associated with significant increases in basal and evoked c-fos expression ("neuronal activity") in response to non-noxious mechanical stimulation. The data also suggest that allodynia-like behaviour following SCI cannot be accounted for solely by changes occurring at a spinal level.

Abstract
The effect of oral feeding of a commercial preparation of essence of chicken (Brand's Essence of Chicken, BEC) on the level of 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the rat was investigated. BEC, when fed to the rat for a period of 3 days, significantly increased the CSF level of 5-HIAA in seven out of 12 animals studied. As the level of CSF 5-HIAA is taken as an indication of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) activity in the brain, it is possible that BEC increased brain 5-HT activity. This increase was not due to the ingestion of tryptophan, the primary precursor of 5-HT, because BEC contains undetectable level of tryptophan. The data indicate that by causing an increase in brain 5-HT activity, consumption of BEC may lead to the activation of 5-HT-dependent physiological process like sleep improvement, mood elevation, analgesia, facilitation of motor output and regulation of circadian rhythm. However, such a possibility remains to be further investigated.

Abstract
A novel enzyme that converts dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) to dihydroxyphenylethanol (DOPET) was found to be present in the microdialysate of the rat brain. The enzyme, named DOPAC reductase, was inhibited by EDTA and stimulated by divalent cations like Zn2+, Mn2+, Co2+ and Cu2+. Its Km, pH optimum and temperature optimum were found to be 32 +/- 2 microM, 7.5 and 40 degrees, respectively. The equivalent acid metabolite of noradrenaline, 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid, and the methoxylated acids of both noradrenaline and dopamine, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxymandelic acid and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, were found not to be substrates of DOPAC reductase. Thus, DOPAC reductase may be an enzyme that is specifically involved in the one-step conversion of DOPAC to DOPET in the central metabolism of dopamine.

Abstract
A weight-drop model of spinal cord injury was used to characterize the sensory changes that occur following mechanical trauma to the spinal cord and to determine the relationship of these changes to the extent of lesion. Weight-drop from different heights resulted in significant differences in motor dysfunction between experimental groups. These groups also demonstrated significant differences in the incidence of allodynia (decreased vocalization threshold to mechanical pressure). The incidence of allodynia was higher in the group that had incomplete spinal cord lesions confined to the central and dorsal regions of the spinal cord and lower in the groups that had either more extensive spinal cord damage or no apparent damage.

Abstract
It has been suggested that albumin reduces quinidine capillary permeability (PS) in the single-pass perfused heart preparation by reducing paracellular transport of quinidine ions. Using this preparation, we examined the effect of albumin (0.1 per cent) on quinidine PS at perfusate pH's of 7.1 and 7.9 during uptake of quinidine (19 microM) and also during washout of the drug using a randomized design. Quinidine PS was approximately 16 ml/min/g heart at pH 7.9 and was not altered by the presence of albumin in perfusate. At pH 7.1, in the absence of albumin, quinidine PS was also 16 ml/min/g, but in the presence of albumin (0.1 per cent) PS was reduced significantly to approximately 5 ml/min/g (P < 0.001). In the absence of albumin PS was the same at pH 7.1 and 7.9 in spite of a greater degree of ionisation of quinidine at pH 7.1. This suggests that there is significant uptake of ionised quinidine at pH 7.1. The greater effect of albumin on PS at pH 7.1 supports the hypothesis that albumin reduces paracellular transport of quinidine ions.

Abstract
Ginseng was said to be benefit for anemia in TCM. Proliferation effects of total saponins of panax ginseng (TSPG) on hematopoietic progenitor cell in normal individuals and 29 patients with aplastic anemia (AA) were observed by bone marrow culture of BFU-E, CFU-E, CFU-GM in vitro compared with methyltestosterone (MT). The results showed that TSPG might prompt proliferation of normal progenitor cells at the concentration of 20 micrograms/ml. The number of BFU-E, CFU-E and CFU-GM had increased by 37.8 +/- 2.9%, 31.4 +/- 2.9% and 33.3 +/- 4.0% over the controls respectively; furthermore TSPG was still useful to BFU-E, CFU-E growth without Epo in vitro, although the colony numbers were very lower. Otherwise MT was useless to CFU-GM. 14 of the 29 patients with AA who responded to MT showed sensitivity to TSPG in marrow culture (the rising rate of colony formation exceeded 30%), but immune-mediated AA (patient's PBMNC suppressed normal hematopoiesis) and stem cell-decreased AA (few of colony was formed) showed almost no expression for TSPG activity because of immunological suppression system and absence of progenitors.

Abstract
The effects of dietary cholesterol on plasma Apo B-containing lipoprotein was studied in 18 rabbits. When atherosclerosis was induced by dietary cholesterol, the cholesterol and peroxide lipids were increased in the intima of aortae (P less than 0.05). The increased plasma Apo B was positively correlated with hypercholesterolemia (r = 0.879, P less than 0.005). In the pre-stain lipoprotein electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis with Apo B antiserum, electrophoretic mobility of Apo B-containing lipoprotein was slower than those of the control rabbits and this band was wide and stained deeper. In Sephadex G-200 exclusion chromatography there was evidence showing that the reduction in electrophoretic mobility of Apo B-containing lipoprotein is due to the increase particle size.

Abstract
The concept and taxonomy of periodic psychosis still remains in controversy for the past 100 years. In China, it was first reported by Ji, and thereafter various rinds of terminology and views were given by different authors. In the presentation, clinical investigation and follow up were carried out in 62 cases. In many of these cases, the so-called "periodic psychosis" or "phasophrenia" was early clinical features of schizophrenia or manic-depression. In those cases with apparent symptoms and signs of diencephalic function, differential diagnosis should be carried out from organic brain syndrome. In a small number of cases, their clinical manifestations, conforming to previous diagnostic criteria, might be an uncommon syndrome. It was concluded by the authors that until now periodic could be considered only as a clinical syndrome rather than a disease entity.
