We determined the clinicopathological features and evaluated the immunohistochemical expression pattern of B2A receptors as well as the morphological changes of the enteric nervous system (ENS). In order to assess statistical differences, we used the student t-test for comparing the means of two groups and one-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni’s post hoc analysis for comparing the means of more than two groups. Correlations were assessed using the Pearson’s correlation coefficient.RESULTSB2A receptors were significantly associated with tumor grading, tumor size, tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05), while there were no statistically significant associations with gender, CRC location and gross appearance (P > 0.05). We observed, on one hand, a decrease of the relative area for both Auerbach and Meissner plexuses with the increase of the tumor grading, and on the other hand, an increase of the relative area of other nervous elements not in the Meissner plexus or in the Auerbach plexus with the tumor grading. For G1 tumors we found that epithelial B2A area showed an inverse correlation with the Auerbach plexus areas [r(14) = -0.531, P < 0.05], while for G2 tumors, epithelial B2A areas showed an indirect variation with both the Auerbach plexus areas [r(14) = -0.453, P < 0.05] and the Meissner areas [r(14) = -0.825, P < 0.01]. For G3 tumors, the inverse dependence increased for both Auerbach [r(14) = -0.587, P < 0.05] and Meissner [r(14) = -0.934, P < 0.05] plexuses.CONCLUSIONB2A receptors play an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis and can be utilized as prognostic factors. Furthermore, study of the ENS in colorectal cancer may lead to targeted molecular therapies.展开更多

Crude ethanol extract of flower from Sarapee was passed through the column chromatography in order to separate the flavonoid. The flavonoid content was about 7.97 mg/mL. Bacterial cellulose film produced by ,4cetobacter xylinum TISTR 975 in coconut juice and subsequently to application of a containing different concentration of flavonoid for 12 h and followed by freeze dry The bacterial cellulose film containing Sarapee extract using disc diffusion assay was tested for antimicrobial activity. The result showed that bacterial cellulose film containing 1.2 mg/mL of flavonoid was highly against to S. typhimurium TISTR 292 and the inhibition zone was about 31.07 mm. Investigations of the effect of coating time on incorporation of flavonoid into cellulose film showed that long coating time (12 h) had the inhibition zone closely to short coating time (8 h) with the value of 29.60-30.13 mm. Stored the bacterial cellulose film at room temperature for 7 and 14 days found that the ability to be against S. typhimurium TISTR 292 decreased after 14 days and the inhibition zone was about 22.63 mm. The percentage of ability was remaining about 75.4. This study suggests that the bacterial cellulose film has a potential for use as antimicrobial in food applications.展开更多

Hence, it is crucial to investigate their nutrient utilization strategies in comparison with vascular plants and understand their responses to the variation of growing season caused by climate change. Firstly, this study testified whether or not bryophytes can absorb nitrogen(N) directly from soil through spiking three chemical forms of 15N stable isotope tracer. Secondly, with stronger ability of carbohydrates assimilation and photosynthesis, it is supposed that N utilization efficiency of vascular plants is significantly higher than that of bryophytes. However, the recovery of soil N by bryophytes can still compete with vascular plants due to their greater phytomass. Thirdly, resource acquisition may be varied from the change of growing season, during which N pulse can be manipulated with 15N tracer addition at different time. Both of bryophytes and vascular plants contain more N in a longer growing season, and prefer inorganic over organic N. Bryophytes assimilate more NH4+ than NO3– and amino acid, which can be indicated from the greater shoot excess 15N of bryophytes. However, vascular plants prefer to absorb NO3– for their developed root systems and vascular tissue. Concerning the uptake of three forms N by bryophytes, there is significant difference between two manipulated lengths of growing season. Furthermore, the capacity of bryophytes to tolerate N-pollution may be lower than currently appreciated, which indicates the effect of climate change on asynchronous variation of soil N pools with plant requirements.展开更多

There are four well-documented carbon isotope excursions with global significance. In ascending order, they are: (1) a large negative excursion, comparable to "BACE" (BAsal Cambrian Carbon isotope Excursion) event, which occurs near the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary with a magnitude of 4‰-10‰ (PDB); (2) the "ZHUCE" (ZHUjiaqing Carbon isotope Excursion) event, a distinct positive excursion (over 5%0) that can be recognized at the Fortunian Stage to Stage 2 transition; (3) another strong negative one, so-called "ROECE" (Redlichiid-Olenellid Extinction Carbon isotope Excursion) event, shifting at the interval between Series 2 and Series 3, peaking at -3‰--5‰ (PDB); (4) the famous Steptoean positive carbon isotope excursion (SPICE), which has been widely identified at the base of Furongian Series, Paibian Stage, with an amplitude about 4‰ (PDB). The four sharp σ13C shifts correlate well with coeval paleoceanographic changes and bioevents. Besides, there are some σ13C excursions from a few sections in previous studies, and more data are required to identify whether they are global or regional ones.展开更多

In the shallow-water Jiulongwan-Jijiapo section, δ-13Corg values of the late Ediacaran Dengying Formation range from -29‰ to -24%0. In the deep-water Longbizui section, δ-13Corg values from time-equivalent strata of the Dengying Formation are mostly between -35‰ and -32‰). These new data, in combination with δ-13Corg data reported from other sections in South China, reveal a 6‰-8‰ shallow-to-deep water δ-13Corg gradient. High δ-13Corg values (〉-30‰) occur mostly in shallow-water carbonate rocks, whereas low δ-13Corg values (〈-32‰) dominate the deep-water black shale and chert. The large temporal and spatial δ-13Corg variations imply limited buffering effect from a large dissolved organic carbon (DOC) reservoir that was inferred to have existed in Edi- acaran-Early Cambrian oceans. Instead, δ-13C-org variations between platform and basin sections are more likely caused by dif- ferential microbial biomass contribution to total organic matter. High δ-13Corg values (〉-30‰) documented from shallow-water carbonates are within the range of typical Phanerozoic δ-13Corg data and may record the isotope signature of organic matter from primary (photosynthetic) production. In contrast, low δ-13Corg values (〈-32‰) from deep-water sections may have resulted from higher chemoautotrophic or methanotrophic biomass contribution to bulk organic matter in anoxic environments. The δ-13Corg data provide indirect evidence for ocean stratification and episodic chemocline fluctuations in the Ediacaran-Early Cambrian Yangtze Platform.展开更多

文摘Organic carbon isotope (δ-13 Corg) data from two well-preserved sections across a shallow-to-deep water transect of the late Edi- acaran-Early Cambrian Yangtze Platform in South China show significant temporal and spatial variations. In the shallow-water Jiulongwan-Jijiapo section, δ-13Corg values of the late Ediacaran Dengying Formation range from -29‰ to -24%0. In the deep-water Longbizui section, δ-13Corg values from time-equivalent strata of the Dengying Formation are mostly between -35‰ and -32‰). These new data, in combination with δ-13Corg data reported from other sections in South China, reveal a 6‰-8‰ shallow-to-deep water δ-13Corg gradient. High δ-13Corg values (〉-30‰) occur mostly in shallow-water carbonate rocks, whereas low δ-13Corg values (〈-32‰) dominate the deep-water black shale and chert. The large temporal and spatial δ-13Corg variations imply limited buffering effect from a large dissolved organic carbon (DOC) reservoir that was inferred to have existed in Edi- acaran-Early Cambrian oceans. Instead, δ-13C-org variations between platform and basin sections are more likely caused by dif- ferential microbial biomass contribution to total organic matter.

In contrast, low δ-13Corg values (〈-32‰) from deep-water sections may have resulted from higher chemoautotrophic or methanotrophic biomass contribution to bulk organic matter in anoxic environments. The δ-13Corg data provide indirect evidence for ocean stratification and episodic chemocline fluctuations in the Ediacaran-Early Cambrian Yangtze Platform.
