Abstract
Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of reinfection of 2019-nCoV and influencing factors, and provide evidence for effective prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: The incidence data of COVID-19 in Ningbo from January 1, 2020 to November 30, 2022 were collected from the infectious disease surveillance system of Chinese information system for disease control and prevention. The incidence of reinfection of 2019-nCoV was investigated by using questionnaire. logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influences of gender, age, time interval from the first infection, history of underlying disease, 2019-nCoV vaccination dose and disease severity on the reinfection. Results: A total of 897 previous 2019-nCoV infection cases were investigated, of which 115 experienced the reinfection of 2019-nCoV, the reinfection rate was 12.82%. The interval between the two infections M(Q1, Q3) was 1 052 (504, 1 056) days. Univariate analysis showed that age, 2019-nCoV vaccination dose, history of underlying disease, type of 2019-nCoV variant causing the first infection, time interval from the first infection and severity of the first infection were associated with the reinfection rate (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk for reinfection in age group 30- years was higher than that in age group ≥60 years (OR=2.10, 95%CI: 1.11-3.97). No reinfection occurred in those with time interval from the first infection of <6 months, and the risk for reinfection was higher in those with the time interval of ≥12 months than in those with the time interval of 6- months (OR=6.68, 95%CI: 3.46-12.90). The risk for reinfection was higher in the common or mild cases than in the asymptomatic cases (OR=2.64, 95%CI: 1.18-5.88; OR=2.79, 95%CI: 1.27-6.11). Conclusion: The time interval from the first infection was an important influencing factor for the reinfection of 2019-nCoV, and the probability of the reinfection within 6 months was low.

Abstract
Optic nerve glioma (ONG) is a relatively rare central nervous system tumor that mainly affects children and adolescents. It can be classified into sporadic and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-associated types. The histological type is mainly a low-grade pilocytic astrocytoma. The typical clinical manifestations are visual impairment and painless eye protrusion, and the imaging features mainly present as fusiform swelling or irregular masses. Chemotherapy is still the first-line treatment for ONG, and other treatment options include radiotherapy, surgical resection, and molecular targeted therapy. Screening and monitoring of NF1 patients are also crucial. The prognosis of ONG is difficult to predict, and close monitoring and timely effective intervention are necessary.

Abstract
A high-speed radiation imaging system based on an image converter of liquid scintillator filled capillary arrays has been developed, which is sensitive to x rays, gamma rays, and neutrons. This imaging system has advantages of both high spatial resolution and high sensitivity because increasing the thickness of the image converter only leads to little deterioration on imaging resolution. The capillary arrays have dimensions of 150 mm diameter and 50 mm thickness, with 100 µm diameter of each capillary. The fluorescence decay time of the filled liquid scintillator based on the mixture of p-xylene and 2,5-diphenyloxazole has been evaluated to be ∼3 ns with the single photon method under the gamma ray excitation. The spatial resolution has been experimentally evaluated to be about 1.15 and 0.6 mm, under excitation of x rays and neutrons, respectively. The imaging system has been applied for diagnosing the dynamic x-ray spot generated by the rod pinch. Two frames in single shot with 15 ns temporal resolution and 20 ns inter-frame separation time have been obtained, which show the spatiotemporal distribution of the electrons bombarding the tungsten rod, indicating the ability of this imaging system in diagnosing dynamic radiation objects. In addition, the technique of capillary arrays provides a promising path for applications of advanced liquid scintillators in the field of radiation imaging.

Abstract
Primary orbital melanoma (POM) is a sort of extremely rare orbital malignancy. It often associates with melanin lesion such as congenital ocular melanocytosis and blue nevus. The most common clinical manifestation of POM is progressive painless proptosis. There are some difficulties in diagnosing this disease. MRI shows characteristic expression of this disease as an important way to diagnose POM, while pathology is the gold standard. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment in patients with POM. In addition, adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be considered. This article systematically reviews the research progress of pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, auxiliary examination, differential diagnosis and treatment of POM, in order to provide some thoughts for the future study of the rare malignancy.

Abstract
Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is a common complication of Graves' disease (GD). The clinical manifestations are mainly swelling and retracted eyelid, protopsis and limited eye movements, and optic neuropathy can be seen in severe cases. The mechanism of TAO is not yet clear. A large number of studies have found that the disorders of autoimmunity play an important role in TAO, while genetic factors, oxidative stress, and environmental factors such as smoking participate in it. Therefore, we consult a large number of studies and expound the pathogenesis from the aspects of genetic susceptibility, immune mechanism, oxidative stress, and the effects of smoking to provide referrences for clinical associated studies.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation and metabolic characteristics of the growth hormone (GH) and other bone metabolism related biochemical markers in pregnancy women serum. Methods: Determination of GH, 25 hydroxy vitamin D(25(OH)D), osteocalcin n-terminal fragments (N-MID), total propeptide of type 1 procollagen (TP1NP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in different gestation women serum, the experimental group involving 75 cases of early pregnancy women(11-14 weeks), 135 cases of pregnancy women(15-21 weeks), 62 cases of late pregnancy women(31-40 weeks) and 28 cases of postpartum women(1-3 days). All cases were selected from prenatal screening patients in hospital from February 2016 to February 2017. The control group involving 55 cases of physically healthy nulliparous. The indicators of GH, 25(OH)D, TPINP and N-MID were detected by electrochemiluminescence and ALP were detected by rate method. All data were processed by SPSS. Variance analysis and Pearson correlation analysis were employed. Results: Serum GH level in early pregnancy, pregnancy, late pregnancy and control group were (4.54±2.26), (9.04±3.23), (20.16±4.89), (0.55±0.49)μg/L, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (F=270.037, P<0.01). Serum GH in each group of pregnant women were more higher than those in control group (all P<0.01), and there was statistical difference in different gestational stages(all P<0.01). Serum 25 (OH)D expression in early pregnancy, pregnancy and late pregnancy were (25.60±14.48), (27.10±12.05), (25.45±9.85)nmol/L. Compared with the control group(39.93±14.88)nmol/L, the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.01). Serum TP1NP level in early pregnancy, pregnancy, late pregnancy and control group were (44.44±11.80), (48.41±20.87), (102.63±41.73), (54.73±24.07)μg/L, respectively. The difference was significantly significant (F=54.027, P<0.01) and TP1NP in late pregnancy group was obvious higher than in early pregnancy group, pregnancy group and control group apart(all P<0.01). Serum N-MID level in early pregnancy, pregnancy, late pregnancy and control group were (5.91±2.64), (7.45±2.27), (17.24±6.47), (18.52±6.95)μg/L, and the difference was significantly significant(F=55.699, P<0.01). N-MID in early and middle pregnancy group were apparent lower than that in late pregnancy and control group (all P<0.01). Serum ALP level in early pregnancy, pregnancy, late pregnancy and control group were (49.74±10.14), (77.76±26.90), (168.34±45.15), (52.81±10.33) U/L, and the difference was significantly significant(F=180.349, P<0.01). However, there was noticeable difference in ALP level between late pregnancy and other pregnant group(P<0.01 or P<0.05). The serum GH, TP1NP and N-MID in postpartum women (1-3 days) were (1.44±0.99), (73.41±34.27), (12.10±5.64) μg/L, respectively. Compare with late pregnancy groups, the difference was significantly significant(all P<0.01). The content of GH in serum of 272 cases pregnant women was positively correlated with the concentration of TP1NP, N-MID and ALP, the gestational age and body weight of pregnant women(r=0.509, 0.720, 0.862, 0.827, 0.324, all P<0.01). The content of TP1NP, N-MID and ALP were positively correlated with gestational age, respectively(r=0.603, 0.722, 0.901, all P<0.01). Moreover, TP1NP expression was positively correlated with N-MID (r=0.849, P<0.01), and there was no correlation between other indexes. Conclusions: These findings have revealed that there are different metabolic character of the GH and bone metabolism related biochemical indexes during different pregnancy period. And there is a positive correlation between gestational age and the index of GH, N-MID, TP1NP, ALP, respectively. Finally, the bone metabolism is more active and Vitamin D deficiency is severe throughout pregnancy.

Abstract
An image converter based on an indium phosphide has been developed to measure the two-dimensional spatial profile of the incident photon flux by probing the rapid change of the refractive index in the semiconductor. The spatial resolution, dynamic range, and temporal response of this image converter have been investigated with optical methods. The results show that the spatial resolution is ∼15 cycles/mm at the percent modulation transfer function of 0.5, the dynamic range is about 100, and the time response is in the order of 600 ps. This scheme can provide an alternative choice as an imaging diagnostic for experiments in the area of high-energy density physics.

Abstract
Patients may develop serious eye complications after continuous radiofrequency thermocoagulation (CRF) for V1 (ophthalmic division) trigeminal neuralgia (TN) at a higher temperature. Therefore, the temperature of clinical CRF for V1 TN has long been disputed, but there have few reports been found about how to achieve satisfactory pain relief, reduce the incidence rates of complications, and shorten the recovery time after CRF for V1 TN.To observe whether pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) can lead to increased rate in pain relief, reduced rate of complications, or shortened recovery time after CRF is used to treat V1 idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN).The prospective cohort study enrolled 56 patients with V1 ITN from May 2012 to April 2015. The patients were randomized into 2 treatment groups as follows: CRF only (group A, n = 28) and CRF plus PRF (group B, n = 28). The patients were followed 3 years up for pain relief, complications, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).All the patients in either group achieved satisfactory pain relief at discharge. After treatment, patients completely pain free in group A and group B accounted for 81.6%, 92.0% at 1 year, 68.4%, 92.0% at 2 years, and 68.4%, 83.6% at 3 years, respectively. The pain relief rate was higher in group B patients than in group A, but the difference was not statistically significant. During the follow-up period, 9 (32.1%) patients in group A and 2 (7.1%) patients in group B developed recurrence (P < 0.05). Eleven patients in group A occurred corneal hypoesthesia and with recovery time was 11.9 ± 7.5 (4-18) months versus 3 patients in group B with recovery time was 3.4 ± 2.5 (2-6) months, the differences of incidence rate and recovery times were all significant (P < 0.05) between groups A and B. The mean scores of HRQoL in group B patients were higher than that in group A patients (P < 0.05).PRF after CRF results in decreased recurrence of V1 TN, reduced numbers of corneal hypoesthesia, shortened recovery time, and increased HRQoL scores. Its clinical use is recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of COMT and OPRM1 gene polymorphisms on the preoperative pain sensitivity in tumor patients. METHODS 300 cases of cancer patients undergoing elective surgery were included, and the Val158 Met loci of COMT gene and OPRM1 loci of A118 G gene were genotyped by PCR-RFLP. Pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold were measured using electrical stimulation to investigate the preoperative pain sensitivity in patients with different genotypes. RESULTS For the COMT gene, the pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold of patients with M allele both decreased (both P < 0.001); for PPRM1 gene, pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold of patients with G allele decreased (both P < 0.001). We also found that there was an interaction between the two genes. CONCLUSION Gene polymorphisms of COMT and OPRM1 were correlated with the preoperative pain sensitivity of cancer patients. The patients with M allele of COMT and G allele of OPRM1 had higher preoperative pain sensitivity.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of metastatic osteosarcoma (OS), by examining the microarray expression profiles of normal samples, and metastatic and non‑metastatic OS samples. The GSE9508 gene expression profile was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, which included 11 human metastatic OS samples, seven non‑metastatic OS samples and five normal samples. Pretreatment of the data was performed using the BioConductor package in R language, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by a t‑test. Furthermore, function and pathway enrichment analyses of the DEGs were conducted using a molecule annotation system. A differential co‑expression network was also constructed, and the submodules were screened using MCODE in Cytoscape. A total of 965 genes were identified as DEGs in metastatic OS. The DEGs were shown to participate in the regulation of DNA‑dependent transcription, the composition of the nucleus, cytoplasm and membrane, and protein and nucleotide binding. Furthermore, the screened DEGs were significantly associated with the ribosome, axon guidance and the cytokine‑cytokine receptor interaction pathway. Certain hub genes were identified in the constructed differential co‑expression network, including matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1), smoothened (SMO), ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 (EWSR1) and fasciculation and elongation protein ζ‑1 (FEZ1). Brain selective kinase 2 (BRSK2) and aldo‑keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKRIB10) were present in the screened submodules. The results of the present study suggest that genes, including MMP1, SMO, EWSR1, FEZ1, BRSK2 and AKRIB10, may be potential targets for the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic OS.

Abstract
Generation of reactive oxygen species significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of acute renal failure (ARF) induced by myoglobin release. Ginsenosides (GS), the principal active ingredients of ginseng, is considered as an extremely good antioxidative composition of Chinese traditional and herbal drugs. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of ginsenoside in rats with ARF on the changes of cholinergic nervous system in the kidney as well as on the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in the hypothalamic paraventricular nuclei (PVN). In our assay, glycerol-induced acute renal failure in rats was employed to study the protective effects of ginsenoside. Our results indicated that the treatment of ARF rats with ginsenosides for 48 h significantly reduced lipid peroxidation, restored the superoxide dismutase (SOD) level. Meanwhile, the obvious increase of choline acetyltransferase-immunoreactivity (ChAT-IR) in the proximal convoluted tubular cells (PCT) was observed by immunohistochemistry in ARF+GS group. The same effect was also observed in the changes of p-ERK1/2-IR in the hypothalamic paraventricular nuclei. Our results suggest that ginsenoside administered orally may have a strong renal protective effect against glycerol-induced ARF, reduce the renal oxidative stress, and ginsenoside can also activate the cholinergic system in PCT, simultaneously MAPK signal pathway in the PVN was also activated.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe the design, fabrication and gas-sensing tests of nano-coaxial p-Co3O4/n-TiO2 heterojunction. Specifically, uniform TiO2 nanotubular arrays have been assembled by anodization and used as templates for generation of the Co3O4 one-dimensional nanorods. The structure morphology and composition of as-prepared products have been characterized by SEM, XRD, TEM, and XPS. A possible growth mechanism governing the formation of such nano-coaxial heterojunctions is proposed. The TiO2 nanotube sensor shows a normal n-type response to reducing ethanol gas, whereas TiO2-Co3O4 exhibits p-type response with excellent sensing performances. This conversion of sensing behavior can be explained by the formation of p-n heterojunction structures. A possible sensing mechanism is also illustrated, which can provide theoretical guidance for the further development of advanced gas-sensitive materials with p-n heterojunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Antizyme 1, a specific inhibitor of Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), plays a critical role in cell proliferation. Little is known about the impact of glucocorticoid on antizyme expression in the regenerating liver. In this paper, the effect of corticosterone on the gene expression of antizyme 1 in early regenerating rat liver induced by partial hepatectomy (PH) was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bilateral adrenalectomies (ADX) were performed 3 days before PH. Corticosterone in sesame oil or sesame oil was injected sub-cutaneously to ADX rats. Antizyme 1 mRNA and protein levels as well as polyamine contents in the regenerating liver were determined by RT-PCR, Western blotting and HPLC, respectively. RESULTS Antizyme 1 protein content in the oil-treated ADX group decreased significantly at 5, 7 and 9 h after PH compared to control. Following corticosterone administration the content rose dose-dependently during the whole experiment. At 5 h post-PH, the protein levels in 10 and 40 mg/kg corticosterone-treated ADX rats increased by 66% and 148%, respectively, when compared with the control group. However, no significant changes in antizyme 1 mRNA levels were observed in oil-treated ADX rats or corticosterone-treated groups compared to control. Polyamine contents in oil-treated ADX rats were the highest among all groups at 5 and 9 h. Corticosterone treatment resulted in a dramatic decrease of polyamine contents at most of the time points investigated when compared with those in control rats. CONCLUSIONS Corticosterone treatment induces antizyme 1 protein synthesis in early regenerating rat liver. However, it has little effect on antizyme 1 gene transcription.

Abstract
An all-optical and polarization-independent spatial filter was developed in a vertically-aligned (VA) polymer-stabilized liquid crystal (PSLC) film with a photoconductive (PC) layer. This spatial filter is based on the effect of light on the conductivity of PC layer: high (low)-intensity light makes the conductivity of the PC layer high (low), resulting in a low (high) threshold voltage of the PC-coated VA PSLC cell. Experimental results indicate that this spatial filter is a high-pass filter with low optical-power consumption (about 1.11 mW/cm(2)) in an optical Fourier transform system. The high-pass characteristic was confirmed by simulation. Accordingly, the all-optical and polarization-independent spatial filter can be used to enhance the edges of images.

Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) is mainly characterized by acute tubular necrosis. No significant change was found for mortality rates over the past few decades despite significant advances in supportive care. In recent years, great effort has been focused on traditional and herbal medicine, which is much less toxic than those agents conventionally used and which is nowadays considered as a novel therapeutic agent for ARF. However, the effect of ginsenosides (GS) administered orally on ARF has not been reported yet and little is known about its cellular and molecular mechanism. The purpose of the study is to investigate the protective effect of ginsenoside in rats with ARF on the changes of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity (TH-IR) as well as on the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in the locus coeruleus. In our assay, glycerol-induced acute renal failure in rats was employed to study the protective effects of ginsenoside. Our results indicated that the treatment of ARF rats with ginsenosides for 48 h significantly reduced the serum blood urea nitrogen, creatinine level, and lipid peroxidation, restored the GSH level and the normal renal morphology. Immunohistochemistry showed that an obvious increase of TH-IR was further enhanced in ARF+GS group. The same effect was also observed in the changes of p-ERK1/2-IR in the locus coeruleus. Our results suggest that ginsenoside administered orally may have a strong renal protective effect against glycerol-induced ARF, and ginsenoside can also activate the brain catecholaminergic neurons in the locus coeruleus. Our future attention will be focused to the question whether there is a correlation between the renal protective effect of ginsenosides against acute renal failure and the activation of tyrosine hydroxylase in the locus coeruleus.

Abstract
The decay J/psi-->NNpi provides an effective isospin 1/2 filter for the piN system due to isospin conservation. Using 58x10(6) J/psi decays collected with the Beijing Electromagnetic Spectrometer at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider, more than 100 thousand J/psi-->ppi-n+c.c. events are obtained. Besides the two well-known N* peaks at around 1500 MeV/c2 and 1670 MeV/c2, there are two new, clear N* peaks in the ppi invariant mass spectrum around 1360 MeV/c2 and 2030 MeV/c2 with statistical significance of 11sigma and 13sigma, respectively. We identify these as the first direct observation of the N*(1440) peak and a long-sought missing N* peak above 2 GeV/c2 in the piN invariant mass spectrum.

Abstract
In order to fabricate the HLA-DQA1 genotyping chip and develop an integrated, parallel technical platform to type HLA system, a pair of primers and a set of probes were designed according to the sequences of HLA-DQA1 exon 2, where the polymorphism is concentrated. The oligonucleotide chip was made with the methods developed in our laboratory. The target DNA was asymmetrically amplified with the labeled sense primer. The signals were scanned and analyzed after the hybridization between microarray and PCR product. The allele types of the samples were identified. The result was verified by the standard DNA and DNA sequencing. The results showed that the genotyping was successfully carried out in 50 standard DNA samples and 50 clinical samples. Among them, results of the 50 standard DNA samples matched their templates. In the other 50 samples, results of the randomly selected 10 matched their sequencing results except that two of them got the incompletely result. In reproducible tests, the signal reappear rate was 95%. It is concluded that HLA-DQA1 genotyping by using our array system is simple and convenient with satisfied accuracy and reproducibility.

Abstract
AIM: To detect the variations of mitochondrial 12S rRNA in patients with gastric carcinoma, and to study their significance and the relationship between these variations and the genesis of gastric carcinoma.
METHODS: PCR amplified mitochondrial 12S rRNA of 44 samples including 22 from gastric carcinoma tissues and 22 from adjacent normal tissues, was detected by direct DNA sequencing. Then laser capture microdissection technique (LCM) was used to separate the cancerous cells and dysplasia cells with specific mutations. Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) plus allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR), nest-PCR and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) were used to further evaluate this mutant property and quantitative difference of mutant type between cancerous and dysplasia cells. Finally, RNAdraw biosoft was used to analyze the RNA secondary structure of mutant-type 12S rRNA.
RESULTS: Compared with Mitomap database, some new variations were found, among which np652 G insertion and np716 T-G transversion were found only in cancerous tissues. There was a statistic difference in the frequency of 12S rRNA variation between intestinal type (12/17, 70.59%) and diffusive type (5/17, 29.41%) of gastric carcinoma (P<0.05). DHPLC analysis showed that 12S rRNA np652 G insertion and np716 T-G transversion were heteroplasmic mutations. The frequency of 12S rRNA variation in cancerous cells was higher than that in dysplasia cells (P<0.01). 12S rRNA np652 G insertion showed obviously negative effects on the stability of 12S rRNA secondary structure, while others such as T-G transversion did not.
CONCLUSION: The mutations of mitochondrial 12S rRNA may be associated with the occurrence of intestinal-type gastric carcinoma. Most variations exist both in gastric carcinomas and in normal tissues, and they might not be the characteristics of tumors. However, np652 G insertion and np716 T-G transversion may possess some molecular significance in gastric carcinogenesis. During the process from normality to dysplasia, then to carcinoma, 12S rRNA tends to convert from homoplasmy (wild type) to heteroplasmy, then to homoplasmy (mutant type, np717 T-G).

Abstract
AIM: To design a novel method to rapidly detect the quantitative alteration of mtRNA in patients with tumors.
METHODS: Oligo 6.22 and Primer Premier 5.0 bio-soft were used to design 15 pairs of primers of mtRNA cDNA probes in light of the functional and structural property of mtDNA, and then RT-PCR amplification was used to produce 15 probes of mtRNA from one normal gastric mucosal tissue. Total RNA extracted from 9 gastric cancers and corresponding normal gastric mucosal tissues was reverse transcribed into cDNA labeled with fluorescein. The spotted mtDNA microarrays were made and hybridized. Finally, the microarrays were scanned with a GeneTACTM laser scanner to get the hybridized results. Northern blot was used to confirm the microarray results.
RESULTS: The hybridized spots were distinct with clear and consistent backgrounds. After data was standardized according to the housekeeping genes, the results showed that the expression levels of some mitochondrial genes in gastric carcinoma were different from those in the corresponding non-cancerous regions.
CONCLUSION: The mtDNA expression microarray can rapidly, massively and exactly detect the quantity of mtRNA in tissues and cells. In addition, the whole expressive information of mtRNA from a tumor patient on just one slide can be obtained using this method, providing an effective method to investigate the relationship between mtDNA expression and tumorigenesis.

Abstract
An enhancement near the m(p)+M(Lambda) mass threshold is observed in the combined pLambda and pLambda invariant-mass spectrum from J/psi-->pK(-)Lambda;+c.c. decays. It can be fit with an S-wave Breit-Wigner resonance with a mass m=2075+/-12(stat)+/-5(syst) MeV and a width of Gamma=90+/-35(stat)+/-9(syst) MeV; it can also be fit with a P-wave Breit-Wigner resonance. Evidence for a similar enhancement is also observed in psi(')-->pK(-)Lambda;+c.c. decays. The analysis is based on samples of 5.8x10(7)J/psi and 1.4x10(7)psi(') decays accumulated in the BES II detector at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider.

Abstract
An Arctic Mass Balance Box Model (AMBBM) has been developed to calculate a sequential historical alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane (alpha-HCH) budget in the Arctic Ocean from its introduction in the 1940s up to the present. The AMBBM is created in the context of the Arctic as a receptor, and has three major components: the air concentration module, the loading from Arctic river module and the transport/transformation module. The results of the model provide a more complete depiction of the behavior of alpha-HCH within the Arctic Ocean. Model output includes annual concentrations in Arctic air and water, annual alpha-HCH loading to, removal from the Arctic Ocean and annual cumulative burden of alpha-HCH in the Arctic waters from 1945 to 2000. Our model results compare well with published data in the 1980s and 1990s and show that the alpha-HCH burden in the Arctic Ocean started to accumulate in the early 1940s and reached the highest value of 6670 t in 1982, 1 year before China banned the use of technical HCH. Since then the burden of alpha-HCH in Arctic waters has decreased quickly by an average annual rate of approximately 270 ty(-1) during the 1990s, decreasing from 4220 t in 1990 to 1550 t in 2000. The complete elimination of alpha-HCH from Arctic waters would require another two decades. The total loading between 1945 and 2000 was 27700 t accounting for approximately 0.6% of total global alpha-HCH emission from agricultural land to the atmosphere. Differences in loadings of alpha-HCH to the North American Arctic Ocean and Eurasian Arctic Ocean are also discussed.

Abstract
The decay psi(2S)-->K(0)(S)K(0)(L) is observed using psi(2S) data collected with the Beijing Spectrometer at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider; the branching fraction is determined to be B(psi(2S)-->K(0)(S)K(0)(L))=(5.24+/-0.47+/-0.48)x10(-5). Compared with J/psi-->K(0)(S)K(0)(L), the psi(2S) branching fraction is enhanced relative to the prediction of the perturbative QCD "12%" rule. The result, together with the branching fractions of psi(2S) decays to other pseudoscalar meson pairs (pi(+)pi(-) and K+K-), is used to investigate the relative phase between the three-gluon and the one-photon annihilation amplitudes of psi(2S) decays.

Abstract
AIM: To explore the instabilities, polymorphisms and other variations of mitochondrial D-loop region and downstream gene 12S rRNA-tRNAphe in gastric cancers, and to study their relationship with gastric cancer.
METHODS: Three adjacent regions (D-loop, tRNAphe and 12S rRNA) were detected for instabilities, polymorphisms and other variations via PCR amplification followed by direct DNA sequencing in 22 matched gastric cancerous tissues and para-cancerous normal tissues.
RESULTS: PolyC or (CA)n instabilities were detected in 13/22(59.1%) gastric cancers and 9/22(40.9%) in the control (P > 0.05). There existed 2/12(16.7%) and 6/10(60%) alterations of 12S rRNA-tRNAphe in well differentiated gastric cancers and poorly differentiated ones, respectively (P < 0.05). Some new variations were found, among which np 318 and np 321 C-T transitions in D-loop region were two of the five bases for H-strand replication primer. np 523 AC-deletion and np 527 C-T transition occurred at mtTF1 binding site (mtTFBS), which were associated with the transcription of downstream mitochondrial genome. Seven samples showed the np 16182 polyC instabilities, five of which simultaneously showed np 16189 T-C transitions.
CONCLUSION: There is no statistic significance of instabilities and polymorphisms in mitochondrial D-loop region between gastric cancerous and para-cancerous normal tissues, which suggests that the instability might relate to heredity or be dependent on aging. There is a significant correlation between differentiation degree of gastric cancer and variant frequencies of 12S rRNA-tRNAphe. The poorly differentiated gastric cancers are more prone to 12S rRNA-tRNAphe variations, or gastric cancers with 12S rRNA-tRNAphe variations are more likely to be poorly differentiated. np 16189 T-C transition may be one of the important reasons for polyC instability in gastric cancer.

Abstract
To optimize and screen the most suitable target gene length,concentration and printing solution in cDNA microarray, housekeeping genes, such as beta actin and GAPDH, were selected as targets and hepatitis B virus gene as negative control. The RT-PCR primers that spanned at least one intron and whose products were at between 189 bp and 1078 bp were designed with primer premier 5.0, so did the hepatitis B virus gene PCR primer. After polymerase chain reaction, the products were purified with ethanol and dissolved in 3xSSC, 50% DMSO and 0.5 mol/L carbonate buffer(pH=9.0)respectively. The concentrations of target genes were adjusted at 0.5 microg/microL, 1.0 microg/microL and 1.5 microg/microL. The hybridization signals had a good specificity. No signal showed in either negative control (HBV) or blank control (printing solution only). There was no significant difference in target gene lengths. The P value of beta actin (189 bp,491 bp,974 bp) and GAPDH (227 bp,552 bp,1078 bp) was 0.378 and 0.866 respectively. There was no significant difference among concentrations(P=0.648),too. However, the higher the concentration was, the stronger the signals would be. Among the three kinds of printing solution, 50% DMSO was the best (P=0.0001), while the other two had no difference by multi-comparison (P=0.142). The target gene at length between 200 bp and 1000 bp has got the same hybridization signals.50% DMSO printing solution and the target gene concentration of 0.5 microg/microl are suitable for good hybridization.

Abstract
We observe a narrow enhancement near 2m(p) in the invariant mass spectrum of pp pairs from radiative J/psi-->gammapp decays. No similar structure is seen in J/psi-->pi(0)pp decays. The results are based on an analysis of a 58 x 10(6) event sample of J/psi decays accumulated with the BESII detector at the Beijing electron-positron collider. The enhancement can be fit with either an S- or P-wave Breit-Wigner resonance function. In the case of the S-wave fit, the peak mass is below 2m(p) at M=1859(+3)(-10) (stat)+5-25(syst) MeV/c(2) and the total width is Gamma<30 MeV/c(2) at the 90% confidence level. These mass and width values are not consistent with the properties of any known particle.
