The surface molecules (B7-1, B7-2, MHC-I, MHC-II) of all DCs were detected by FACS, and the ability of the DCs to induce efficient and specific immunological response inanti-^51Cr-labeled target cells was studied. BALB/c mice injected with DCs and Mk28 were established, and CTL response in mice immunized with Lywt-p53DC was evaluated.Tumor-bearing mice were treated with Lywt-p53DC.RESULTS: The surface molecules of Lywt-p53DC had a high expression of B7-1 (86.70±0.07%), B7-2 (18.77±0.08%),MHC-I (87.20±0.05%) and MHC-II (56.70±0.07%); T lymphocytes had a specific CTL lysis ability induced by Lywt-p53DC; the CTL lysis rate was as high as 81%. The immune protection of Lywtp-53DC was obvious, the tumor diameter in Lywtp-53DC group was 3.10+0.31 ram, 2.73±0.23 ram,3.70±0.07 mm on d 13, 16 and 19, respectively, which were smaller than control, DC, wtp53DC and LyDC group (P<0.05). Tumor growth rate in Lywtp53DC group was slower than that in other groups (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: DCs transfected with wild-type p53 and stimulated by gastric cancer lysates have specific CTL killing activity.展开更多

The molecular mechanism of blooming remains unclear. In this study, calmodulin gene (cam) of HAB causing species Alexandrium catenella was isolated and characterized, The expression of calmodulin gene was profiled at different growth rates and in heat stress. The full cDNA of cam was 597 nucleotides (nt) in length, including a 25 nt 5' untranslated region (UTR), an 122nt 3' UTR, and a 450nt open reading frame (ORF) encoding 149 amino acids. The deduced calmodulin (CAM) was highly conserved in comparison with those of other organisms. As was determined with real-time RT PCR, the abundance of cam transcript varied in a pattern similar to cell growth rate during the whole growing period. The abundance of cam transcript increased by more than 8 folds from lag growth phase to exponential growth phase, and then obviously decreased from exponential growth phase to stationary/decline growth phase. In addition, the relative abundance of cam transcript significantly declined with time during heat shock. Taking CaM function described in other organisms into account, we believe that Ca2- -involved signal transduction, methyla- tion of DNA and toxin precursors underlined the cell growth of this species. The response of cam gene to heat stress in dinoflagellate suggested restrictions in Ca2+ signal transduction and methylation. These findings are helpful to understand the relationships among growth, cell signal transduction, bloom formation and interaction with environmental stimuli in dinoflagellates.展开更多

The effects of heterosis, combining ability and interaction on the growth of shell length were estimated. The results showed that the growth of hybrid larvae was intermediate between parents on days 6 and 9. Heterosis on shell length was observed, which varied at juvenile stage. The cross of ♂A×♀B (Hp varied between 10.41% and 68.27%) displayed larger heterosis than ♂A×♀B (Hp varied between 1.89% and 32.33%) did, suggesting that ♂A×♀B was an ideal hatchery method of improving the growth performance of Manila clam. The variances of general combining ability (GCA), special combining ability (SCA) and interaction (I) were significant in shell length (P〈 0.05), indicating that both additive and non-additive genetic factors were important contributors to the growth of larvae and juveniles. The GCA for shell length of ♂A×♀B was higher than that of ♂A×♀B at both larval and juvenile stages. This con- firmed that the cross between ♂A and ♀B showed great growth in shell length. In summary, the growth of Manila clam seeds could be improved by hybridizing selected parents from large numbers of full-sib families.展开更多

The elastic response of the vessel may become larger in a later stage compared to its response during the initial stage. The dynamic responses of infinitely long cylindrical containment vessels subjected to uniformly-distributed internal blast loading are studied using LS-DYNA. The development of bending modes and the interaction between the breathing mode and bending modes are observed. The methodology developed for dynamic elastic buckling analysis is employed to study the strain growth phenomenon in explosion containment vessels. It is shown that the dynamic instable vibration of a containment vessel is the basic mechanism of strain growth.展开更多

This paper assesses the critical role that enabling technologies have played in the delivery of remote and automated capability for longwall mining. A brief historical account is given to highlight key technical contributions which have influenced the direction and development of present-day longwall technology. The current state of longwall automation is discussed with particular attention drawn to the technologies that enable automated capability. Outcomes are presented from an independently conducted case study that assessed the impact that CSIRO's LASC longwall automation research has made to the longwall mining industry in Australia. Importantly, this study reveals how uptake of this innova- tive technology has significantly benefitted coal mine productivity, improved working conditions for personnel and enhanced environmental outcomes. These benefits have been widely adopted with CSIRO automation technology being used in 60 per cent of all Australian underground operations. International deployment of the technology is also emerging. The paper concludes with future challenges and opportunities to highfight the ongoing scope for longwall automation research and development.展开更多

Methods: From 2005 to 2008, 227 female breast cancer patients were treated with the NEF regimen: vinorelbine 25 mg/m^2 iv on days 1 and 8; epirubicin 60 mg/m2 iv gtt on day 1; 5-Fu 500 mg/m2 iv gtt on day 1. Chemotherapy was repeated every 21-28 days for a total of 6 cycles. Results: The major side effects were neutrope- nia and gastrointestinal syndrome, with a 5-year survival rate of 85.4%, Conclusion: NEF regimen is safe and guarantees a high survival rate which could be recommended as a adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for breast cancer,展开更多
