After male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were treated intra-gastrically with different doses of MC-LR for 90 d, the locomotor activity, spatial learning and memory function were evaluated in the rats after treatment using open field tests and Morris water maze tests. The results show that MC-LR exposure can lead to impairment of the spatial learning capacity and locomotor activity in rats at the dose of 2. 00 p,g/kg. The levels of NAA in the hippocampus were measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy （MRI）. A significant decrease of NAA/Cr ratio （ P 〈 0. 05） was observed in the hippocampous. This study indicates that intra-gastrical exposure to low-doses of MC-LR has adverse effects on neuronal behavior and NAA levels in the hippocampous.展开更多

The composition and struc- ture of the targeted resultants were characterized with 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR spec- troscopy and gel permeation chromatography. The various block copolymers were success- fully employed to fabricate the spherical micelle with core-shell morphological structure. The poly（N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone） block-dependent characteristics of the copolymeric micelles were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy. The solubilization of the hydrophobic ibuprofen as a model drug in the micelle solution was also explored. It was found that the drug loading contents are related to the micellar morphology structure determined by hydrophilic chain length in the copolymer.展开更多

The crystal belongs to triclinic, space group P with a = 0.74485(14), b = 1.6094(3), c = 1.7472(3) nm, a = 114.662(4), b = 99.997(4), g = 93.218(4), V = 1.8551(6) nm3, Mr = 882.31, Z = 2, Dc = 1.580 g/cm3, m = 1.395 mm-1 and F(000) = 906. The complex is a binuclear copper compound, and the two copper ions nearly have the same coordination environment. There exists MM bond in the complex. The distance of Cu(1)Cu(2) is 0.29747(7) nm. The two ions form two distorted octahedral geometries.展开更多

The nucleotide sequences encoding the entire S,sM,M and N genes open reading frame(ORF) of DX were 4 152,231,681 and 1 326 bases long respectively. There were transcription regulatory sequences(TRSs) upstream of the initiator ATG of the S,N and M genes. The amino acids sequences of S,M and N contained 30,3 and 7 potential asparagine(N) -linked glycosylation sites. Homologous analysis and phylogenetic trees showed that DX had the closest relationship with strains LJB/06,JS-2004-2Z and CH/HLJH/06 that were also isolated from China and indicated the prevalence of some PEDV isolates in China were widespread since the JS-2004-2Z strain originated from the south of the China,and LJB/06 and CH/HLJH/06 were isolated from northeast China. The N gene was cloned using two primers which contained Nco I and BamH I restriction enzyme sites and subcloned into expression vector pET30a. The recombinant plasmid was then transformed into E.coli Rossta. SDS-PAGE showed there was a protein of about 55kDa as expected and Western blot indicated the N protein had biological activity.展开更多

Results Among AD patients,15（23.6%）subjects were identified as C/C genotype,and 35（55.6%）were identified as C/T genotype.The left 13（20.6%）subjects were identified as T/T genotype.In normal controls,15（22.1%）subjects were identified as C/C genotype,39（57.4%）as C/T genotype and 14（20.6%）as T/T genotype.The distribution frequency of neither GRIN2B C2664T genotype（P=0.895）nor allele（P=0.790）was significantly different between AD patients and normal controls,even when the subjects were stratified by gender and age of disease onset in AD patients.Conclusion The results suggest that there is no relation between GRIN2B C2664T polymorphism and AD in Chinese Han population of Shanghai City.展开更多
