The UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies raised these concerns based on various facts and the rationality of their suggestions differ. China has replied accordingly. China should continue to reply based on the facts, and it should accept those suggestions that are reasonable and on facts.When addressing suggestions that are not based on facts, we should identify the nature of the problems and eliminate misunderstanding by clarifying the facts and encouraging friendly dialogue.展开更多

This paper reviews the status and recent progress in the group-contribution approach to predicting liquid-phase activity coefficients.Several different types of liquid mixtures arc considered: non electrolyte mixtures with normal-boiling components; mixtures with dissolved gases; mixtures with polymers; and mixtures including strong electrolytes. It is concluded that in recent years much progress has been made in the development of group-contribution models for the prediction of activity coefficients. It is in addition shown that combining activity coefficient models with equations of state renders the group-contribution approach applicable also to the highpressure region.Due to space limitation, this review emphasizes UNIFAC and related models.展开更多

This study investigated the expression changes of mi R-146 a in peripheral blood monocytes of HCV-infected patients and the mechanism by which the THP-1 cells were stimulated with HCV core protein in vitro. It was found that in the peripheral blood monocytes of HCV-infected patients, mi R-146 a expression was upregulated. After treated by interferon/ribavirin, mi R-146 a expression was decreased when HCV RNA became undetectable. HCV core could directly stimulate THP-1 cells to produce mi R-146 a. Silencing TLR2 and My D88 could significantly inhibit the expression of mi R-146 a. It was concluded that the expression of mi R-146 a in peripheral blood monocytes of HCV-infected patients was abnormally increased. The TLR2-My D88 signaling pathway may take part in the overexpression of mi R-146 a in monocytes stimulated with HCV core protein.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of high condylectomy with and without postsurgical orthodontic treatment. Forty patients were diagnosed as having active CH and treated with high condylectomy. Patients in group A(n=24) took the postsurgical orthodontic therapy immediately after surgery, and those in group B(n=16) did not take orthodontic therapy. For both groups, the mandibular ramus height on the affected side was decreased significantly after surgery. Orthodontic treatment promoted maxillary alveolar remodeling significantly by depressing alveolar bone of the affected side and increasing alveolar bone of the nonaffected side. Better improvement for facial midline deviations was observed in group A than in group B. In both groups, the condylar remodeling was observed and manifested by the smoothening of condylar surface and returning of condyle to normal position in glenoid fossa. It was concluded that high condylectomy in the treatment of active CH of TMJ improved the functional occlusion and facial aesthetic. Postsurgical orthodontic therapy could more effectively enhance maxillary alveolar and condylar remodeling, and more rapidly and meticulously establish the stable occlusal and normal position of condyle than the spontaneous remodeling.展开更多

A longterm field experiment was established in 2006 to examine the influence of tillage systems on soil aggregation and OC in a sandy loam soil in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain of China. The study involved eight treatments: plowing every year with(TS) and without residue(T), plowing every 2 years with(2TS) and without residue(2T), plowing every 4 years with(4TS) and without residue(4T), and no plowing with(NTS) and without residue(NT). In 2013, soil samples were collected at depths of 0–5, 5–10 and 10–20 cm, and separated into three aggregate-size classes: macroaggregates(〉250 μm), microaggregates(53–250 μm) and the silt+clay fraction(〈53 μm) using wet sieving method. Soil parameters measured were water-stable aggregates, geometric mean diameter(GMD), mean weight diameter(MWD) and OC concentrations in different aggregate-size fractions and in bulk soil. The tillage treatments significantly(P〈0.05) influenced soil aggregate stability and OC distribution. Higher MWD and GMD were observed in 2TS, 4TS and NTS as compared to T. With increasing soil depth, the amount of macroaggregates and MWD and GMD values were increased, while the proportions of microaggregates and the silt+clay fraction were declined. The OC concentrations in different aggregate fractions at all soil depths followed the order of macroaggregates〉microaggregates〉silt+clay fraction. In the 0–5 cm soil layer, concentrations of macroaggregateassociated OC in 2TS, 4TS and NTS were 14, 56 and 83% higher than for T, whereas T had the greatest concentration of OC associated with the silt+clay fraction in the 10–20 cm layer. Soil OC concentrations under 4TS and NTS were significantly higher(P〈0.05) than that of T in the 0–10 cm layer. Residue retention promoted formation of macroaggregates, increased macroaggregate-associated OC concentrations and thus increased total soil OC stock. The macroaggregate-associated OC was positively correlated(R^2=0.96) with soil OC concentration, while the silt+clay fraction-associated OC was negatively correlated(R^2=0.82) with soil OC concentration. The concentration of soil OC was positively correlated with MWD(R^2=0.94) and GMD(R^2=0.92). We concluded that increasing tillage intensity led to a loss of carbon(C)-rich macroaggregates and an increase of C-depleted silt+clay fraction. The conservation tillage system, especially NTS and 4TS, increased soil aggregate stability and promoted OC accumulation in macroaggregates, provided the potential to improve soil C sequestration and soil structure in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain of China.展开更多

This study was designed to evaluate the safety of two commercially available dietary bamboo charcoal powders(BCP1 and BCP2). The size distribution of the two powders was determined by a Mastersizer 2000 laser particle size analyzer prior to the in vivo safety studies. For the acute toxicity study, a single dose of 11.24 g/kg body weight of BCP1 and BCP2 was given once orally to healthy Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats. Mortality and clinical symptoms were observed and recorded for the first 30 min after treatment, at 4 h post-administration, and then at least once daily for 14 days after administration. In the repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity study, BCP1 and BCP2 were administered orally at doses of 2.81, 5.62, and 11.24 g/kg body weight for 28 days to SD rats. Animals were sacrificed and organs and blood samples were analyzed. Results showed that both BCP1 and BCP2 were micro-sized and various in size. In the acute toxicity and the repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity studies, BCP caused neither mortality nor visible signs of toxicity in rats. No significant differences were found in the relative organ weights or in biochemical parameters in BCP treated groups compared to a control group. No treatment-related histological changes were observed in the organs of these animals. Based on these data, it is concluded that the median lethal dose(LD50) of BCP for both male and female rats is more than 11. 24 g/kg body weight and the no-observed-adverse-effect level(NOAEL) is 〉11.24 g/kg body weight for 28 days.展开更多
