[Method] A field experiment was conducted at two contrasting environments with three replicates and included a freezing sensitive variety （cv. Zhongshuang No. 11, ZS） and a freezing tolerant variety （cv. Ganyouza No. 1, GY）. [Result] The concentrations of Ca, Mg and Fe were significantly increased in plants roots, and the concentrations of Ca and Mg were significantly decreased but the Fe concentration was significantly increased in plants shoots. In leaves, the Ca concentration stored in soluble fraction was significantly increased and the Ca concentration of organelle-contained fraction and cell wall-associated fraction were significantly decreased with experiment time. The Mg concentrations stored in soluble fraction, organelle-contained fraction and cell wall-associated fraction were decreased with time. In contrary, the Fe concentration stored in soluble fraction, organelle-contained fraction and cell wall associated-fraction was significantly increased with time. Meanwhile, the changes of these measures of ZS were much higher than those of GY during cold acclimatization, which might be due to the GY is a freezing tolerant variety but ZS is not. [Conclusion] These results suggested that increasing the concentrations of Ca, Mg and Fe in plants shoots might increase the cold resistance of oilseed rape.展开更多

The capsid protein (Cap protein) is a major structural protein that has at least three immunoreactive regions, and it can be a suitable candidate antigen for detecting the specific antibodies of a PCV2 infection. In the present study, an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TcELISA) based on a truncated soluble Cap protein produced in Escherichia coli (E.coli) was established and validated for the diagnostic PCV2 antibodies in swine. The TcELISA was validated by comparison with an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIFA). The diagnostic sensitivity (DSN), specificity (DSP), and accuracy of the TcELISA were 88.6%, 90.7% and 89.4%, respectively. The agreement rate was 89.38% between results obtained with TcELISA and IIFA on 113 field sera. A cross-reactivity assay showed that the method was PCV2-specific by comparison with other sera of viral disease. Therefore ,the TcELISA will be helpful for the development of a reliable serology diagnostic test for large scale detection of PCV2 antibodies and for the evaluation of vaccine against PCV2 in swine.展开更多

Methods: Serum soluble antigen of H. pylori was detected by using avidin-biotin ELISA technique to evaluate the status of H. pylori infection and for comparison with rapid urease test ( RUT ), histologic examination and serology. Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 77.46%, 91.07%, 91.67% and 76.12 %, respectively. The prevalence rate of serum H. pylori soluble antigen in 138 patients undergoing endoscopy was similar to the rate obtained by 14C-UBT methods ( P> 0.05 ). Conclusions: The detection of serum H. pylori soluble antigen(HpSAg) could be used as a new serological method which is accurate, and convenient, not affected by the memorizing reaction of serum antibody; is more sensitive, more specific and suitable for clinical diagnosis, and evaluation of eradication and for follow-up of H. pylori as well as for detection in children and pregnant women.展开更多
