Here, we stimulated an immune response in fish embryos, larvae and adults using lipopolysaccharide （LPS） and measured the upregulation of a number of AIS-related genes （Rag2, AID, TCRAC, IgLC-1, mIg, slg, IgZ and DAB） 3 and 18 h later. We found that all of the genes evaluated were strongly induced following LPS stimulation, with most of them responding at 8 d post fertilization. This confirms that a functional adaptive immune response is present in D. rerio larvae, and provides a window for further functional analyses.展开更多

METHODS: Based on the correspondence between man and the universe (including psychosomatic integration) in fracture healing with osteopathy in TMM, we used modern physio-psychological and biomechanical principles and methods to probe the integrated, dynamic and functional characteristics of fracture healing. RESULTS: Based on the integration of limbs and the body, unification of the body and function and harmony of man and nature (including psychoso-matic integration), fracture healing with osteopathy in TMM comprises the concept of natural functional healing of fractures, and follows the norm of considering physiological healing and psychological function as well as limb healing and motor function. CONCLUSION: Fracture healing with osteopathy in TMM is characterized by a lack of trauma without future complications. This therapy makes the concept of fracture healing develop in the direction of humanity, behaviorism and integration.展开更多

Agetolites is a peculiar coral possessing features of both tabulate （e.g., mural pores） and rugose corals （e.g., welldeveloped septa）. Septal patterns have long been considered to be indicative of the origin of corals, and the pattern of septal insertion in Agetolites has been known to be typical of rugosans. This study, however, reveals that the patterns in Ageto lites are rather random and cannot be an indication of its rugosan affinity. It is suggested that Agetolites probably has a closer phylogenetic relation with tabulates than with either rugosans or scleractinians. Two insertion patterns of the first six septa were detected （Types I and II）. Type I is interpreted as scleractinian pattern whereas Type II as typical pattern of rugosans. Types 1 and 2 are septal patterns of the second stage recognized in this study. Type 1 insertion occurs in six sectors located in the center of each interseptal space, suggesting scleractinian pattern of insertion. Type 2 insertion occurs in four sectors that are comparable with alar and counter sectors in rugose corals. Four patterns of the third （Types AD） and fourth stages （Types ad） of septal insertion have also been recognized in Agetolites. Type A only occurs in two adjacent sectors possibly due to the in completeness of septal development. Type B presents rugosan pattern. Types C and D resemble scleractinian pattern in most aspects. Types a, b, and c present no clear attribution to rugosan or scleractinian pattern probably due to the incompleteness of septal development whereas Type d is observable in rugose corals.展开更多
