The thylakoid membrane preparations of P9 and SH 63 were excited by an Ar+ laser with a pulse width of 120 ps, repetition rate of 4 MHz and wavelength of 514 nm. The time constants of the excited energy transfer in these two varieties at flowering stage and grain filling stage were calculated from the experimental data. Based on the comparative studies of the time and spectral properties of the excited fluorescence in these ultrafast dynamic experiments the following was found: at both the flowering stage and grain filling stage, the speed of the excitation energy transfer, in photosystem was faster than that in photosystem II in P9 variety; and the speed of the excitation energy transfer at grain filling stage was faster than those at flowering stage for both rice varieties; the experiments also implied that the components and assembly of pigments in SH 63, but not in P9, changed during the process from flowering stage to grain filling stage for in these two rice varieties.展开更多

The photofragments are detected by multiphoton ionization using an intense laser field centered at 800 nm. A dissociation time of 3804-50 fs was measured from the rising time of the co-fragments of toluene radical （C7H7） and iodine atom （I）, which is attributed to the averaged time needed for the C-I bond breaking for the simultaneously excited nσ and ππ＊ states by 266 nm pump light. In addition, a probe light centered at 298.23 nm corresponding to resonance wavelength of ground-state iodine atom is used to selectively ionize ground-state iodine atoms generated from the dissociation of initially populated hσ＊ and ππ＊ states. And a rise time of 4004-50 fs is extracted from the fitting of time-dependent I＋ transient, which is in agreement with the dissociation time obtained by multiphoton ionization with 800 nm, suggesting that the main dissociative products are ground-state iodine atoms.展开更多

The prevalence of resolved infection varies in rheumatic disease patients,ranging from 7.3% to 66%. Through an electronic search of the Pub Med database,we found that among 712 patients with resolved infection in 17 observational cohort studies,12 experienced HBV reactivation(1.7%) during biological antirheumatic therapy. Reactivation rates were 2.4% for etanercept therapy,0.6% for adalimumab,0% for infliximab,8.6% for tocilizumab,and 3.3% for rituximab. Regarding non-biological antirheumatic drugs,HBV reactivation was observed in 10 out of 327 patients with resolved infection from five cohort studies(3.2%). Most of these patients received steroids concomitantly. Outcomes were favorable in rheumatic disease patients. A number of recommendations have been established,but most of the supporting evidence was derived from the oncology and transplantation fields. Compared with patients in these fields,rheumatic disease patients continue treatment with multiple immunosuppressants for longer periods. Optimal frequency and duration of HBV-DNA monitoring and reliable markers for discontinuation of nucleoside analogues should be clarified for rheumatic disease patients with resolved HBV infection.展开更多
