Abstract ( 659 )
Nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) in rice germplasms with different ecological types were determined and analyzed during seedling stage under low nitrogen rate (20 mg/kgN), medium nitrogen rate (40 mg/kgN) and high nitrogen rate (60 mg/kg N). The results showed that NUE in different ecological rice germplasms reduced with increasing nitrogen rate and had significant or greatly significant differences with different nitrogen rates. NUE in upland rice was significantly higher than that in paddy rice under low nitrogen rate, whereas NUE between upland rice and paddy rice was not significantly different under medium and high nitrogen rates. NUE in contemporary breeding variety was significantly or greatly significantly smaller than that in ancient local variety under different nitrogen rate. NUE in hybrid combination was significantly or greatly significantly higher than that in conventional variety under different nitrogen rate. NUE in Indica rice was greatly significantly smaller tha...更多n that of Japonica rice under medium and high nitrogen rates, but NUE between Indica rice and Japonica rice was not significantly different.

Full text: HTMLnew PDF  (451 KB)  ( 353 )
Abstract ( 616 )
To investigate the influence of crystal protein Cyt1A on Vip3A expression and its insecticidal activity, the recombinant plasmid pHVC20 containing cyt1A and vip3A genes were constructed and transformed into the Bacillus thuringiensis acrystalliferous strain CryB, with CryB (pHPT3) strain only expressing Vip3A protein as control. Western blot showed that the maximum yield of Vip3A in CryB (pHVC20) was about 2 fold to that in CryB (pHPT3). It was deduced that the p20 gene in plasmid pHVC20 could not only be required for efficient production of Cyt1A protein but also promote Vip3A yields. Bioassay showed that LC50s of CryB(pHVC20) and CryB(pHPT3) against the first instar larvae of Spodoptera litura were 10.62 μg/ml and 78.00 μg/ml respectively, with the former performing enhanced insecticidal activity. This result suggested that Cyt1Aa might synergize the activity of Vip3A toxin towards S. litura.

Full text: HTMLnew PDF  (651 KB)  ( 395 )
Abstract ( 650 )
In the paper, we summarized the gale characteristics,which were caused by the Matsa tropical cyclone over Zhejiang Province in 2005, and analyzed their formation. The characteristics show that the long period of the gale duration, the large scale of time and space of the gust are rare in the history. The analysis revealed that the intensive Matsa is the basic factor. Matsa's north-westward track and slow moving velocity ensured the gale persistence. The interaction between neighbouring systems is the main direct cause of gale unsymmetrical distribution. The special terrain of Zhejiang Province was also availed to occurrence of gale unsymmetrical distribution.

Abstract ( 649 )
The study was carried out on the landfall typhoon 0515 Khanun which affected East China seriously. Firstly, based on the characteristics of large-scale circulation and physics factors, the causes of the quick strengthening, which came ahead of its landfall, were analyzed. The results show that the enhancement of intensity was associated with lower layer moisture transportation, upper level strong divergence, and the typhoon moving to where vertical shear was low and sea surface temperature was high. Secondly, focusing on horizontal stream field, the structure of warm core, the stability and vorticity, and the landfall intensity were comparative analyzed between typhoon Khanun and Rananim. It is found that Khanun was weaker than Rananim in these aspects; this conclusion may serve as references on judging the landfall intensity of typhoon.

Abstract ( 664 )
AMS14C dating and grain-size analysis for Core PC-6, located in the middle of a mud area on the inner shelf of the East China Sea (ECS), were used to rebuild the Holocene history of the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM). The 7.5-m core recorded the history of environmental changes during the postglacial transgression. The core was divided into three sections with boundaries at 450 cm and 540 cm, according to its lithology, color, sedimentary structure, and vertical stacking pattern of its sediment. The core's mud section (the upper 450 cm) has been formed mainly by suspended sediment delivered from the Yangtze River mouth by the ECS Winter Coastal Current (ECSWCC) since 7.6 kyr BP. Using a mathematical method called "grain size vs. standard deviation", we can divide the Core PC-6's grain-size distribution into two populations at about 28 μm. The fine population (<28 μm) is considered to be transported by the ECSWCC as suspended loads. Content of the fine population changes little and represents a stable sedimentary environment in accord with the present situation. Thus, variation of mean grain-size from the fine population would reflect the strength of ECSWCC, which is mainly controlled by the EAWM. Spectral analyses of the mean grain-size time series of Core PC-6 show statistically significant centurial periodicities centering on 70-72, 78, 89, 102, 112, 123, 154 years. The EAWM and the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) agree with each other well on these cycles, and the East Asian Monsoon (EAM) and the Indian Monsoon also share in concurrent cycles in Holocene, which are in accord with the changes of sun irradiance.

Abstract ( 550 )
Objective: Taking primary osteoporosis as example, this study was designed to evaluate three therapeusis by multidimensional, especially biology, social psychology and health economics indexes and to provide new pathway and methods for the elder's diseases and the other chronic disease comprehensive evaluation. Methods: The three therapeusis are Vit D+ Ca, estrogen and diphosphonates. The biology indexes are bone mineral density of lumbar (L1-4), total lumbar, thighbone neck and Ward's triangle area. The social psychology indexes are quality of life SF-36 eight dimensionalities and sum total. The health economics indexes are drug cost, examine cost and total cost. Results: ① According to the bone mineral density, the estrogen treatment's effect was significantly worse than before at L-1, ;L-2 and L-Total,VitD+ Ca treatment was significantly worse than before at L-2 and the others were not significant. ② According to the quality of life , the Estrogen treatment effect was significantly better than before at RP and RE, diphosphonates treatment had significant difference at SF and GH,three therapeusis were significantly better than before at SF-36 Total. ③ According to the medical cost, by the end of the first follow-up, there were no significant statistical difference among the three therapeusis and by the end of the second followed-up, the drug cost was significant statistical different and the Vit D+ Ca was cheaper than the others. ④ According to the Data Envelopment Analysis, the data of first follow-up show that DEA of both diphosphonates treatment and estrogen treatment were useful (θ=1), and DEA of Vit D + Ca treatment was not useful (θ<1 ). The bone mineral density of Vit D + Ca treatment could be improved further according to the relaxation variable. The second follow-up showed that DEA of all the three treatments were useful, and all the relaxation variables were zero. Conclusion: ① According to the bone mineral density, the diphosphonates is the best; According to the quality of life, estrogen is the best and according to the cost, the Vit D + Ca is the best. According to the three aspects, in short-term effect,the effect of estrogen and diphosphonates are equivalent, and VitD+ Ca is relative worst; but in long-term effect,the three treatment are equivalent. ② Evaluation of therapeusis may take the different conclusions if clinical practices consider only one aspect. The A index implicates the different result from the B index as well as th

Abstract ( 610 )
FP99 is an active substance from nightshade. We found the proliferation of MG-63 cells was inhibited by FP99 combined with As2O3 through MTT assay. In addition, the results indicated that the percent of apoptosis was elevated after treated by As2O3 combined with FP99 in MG-63 cells. To account for the mechanism of apoptosis in MG-63 cell, the detection of Caspase-3 activity was performed. The results indicated that the activity of Caspase-3 was increased after treated with As2O3 combined with FP99. We conclude that As2O3 combined with FP99 elevated apoptosis in MG-63 cell through increasing activation of Caspase-3.

Abstract ( 550 )
Combining direct observation by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), in vitro expression and transcription, mouse cardiac muscle and liver genomic genes were observed. Some active factors, such as switch proteins, were partially dissolved, causing nuclear genes move between nuclear DNA fragments or inside nuclear DNA fragments in static or metastatic ways. Some gene expression profiles like LDH gene were analyzed. Static or metastatic gene translocation shows decreased expression. Moreover, gene translocation is proportional to decreased activity. This work shows future prospect that combining AFM direct observation and in vitro expression may help study gene translocation and gene mutation.

Abstract ( 667 )
Based on remotely retrieved normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and land surface temperature (LST), vegetation temperature condition index (VTCI) is developed for monitoring drought occurrence at a regional scale. For the VTCI definition, it is not only related to NDVI changes in a given region, but also related to LST changes of pixels with a given NDVI value. VTCI can be physically explained as the ratio of temperature differences among the pixels which have the same NDVI values. Two areas, namely, Guanzhong Plain of Shaanxi Province, China and the southern region of the Great Plains, USA are selected for the study. The composited NDVI and LST products retrieved from AVHRR and MODIS remotely sensed data, and cumulative precipitation data are used to develop and validate the VTCI drought monitoring approach. The results indicate that VTCI is a near-real time drought monitoring approach.

Full text: HTMLnew PDF  (651 KB)  ( 235 )
Abstract ( 615 )
We investigated the effects of fastigial nucleus electro-stimulation (FNS) in advance on cardiac expression of various proinflamatory cytokines in myocardial infarction (MI) rats. Animal models were created by stimulating fastigial nucleus (FN) with the flow of electricity, using ibotenic acid to produce lesions of FN neurons, ligating the left anterior artery (LAD), respectively. Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: group MI was rats with myocardial infarction alone; group FNS+MI was rats receiving FN stimulation for 1 hour before producing MI; group FNL+FNS+MI was rats undergoing the same procedure like group FNS+MI except that there were lesions of the FN five days before producing MI; group Sham was rats without ligating LAD and stimulating FN, just mimicing all the operations. Then every group was randomly divided into three subgroups according to the three time points, that is 1,7,21 days after MI for further study. The mRNA expression levels of tumour necrosis fac...更多tor-alpha(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and interleukin-6(IL-6) in IZ and NIZ were studied by RT-PCR. Compared to sham group, TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6 mRNA expression levels increased significantly in IZ or NIZ in MI group, especially on day 7 after ligation. Compared to MI group, the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6 mRNA in FNS+MI group decreased significantly. There was no decrease effect for the expression of the cytokines when FN neurons were destroyed. We demonstrated that FNS can down-regulate TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 mRNA expression. So it can be forecasted that FNS will be beneficial in the prevence and treatment of MI someday.
