Chinese children with autism: A multiple chemical elements profile in erythrocytes.

Unlabelled: Several lines of evidence suggested that abnormal levels of certain chemical elements may contribute to the development of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The present work aimed to investigate the multiple chemical elements profile in the erythrocytes of autistic versus typically developing children (TDC) of China. Analyses were carried out to explore the possible association between levels of elements and the risk as well as the severity of ASD.

[Effect of triptolide on the expression of RANTES in the renal tissue of diabetic nephropathy rats].

Objective: To investigate the effect of triptolide (TPL) on the renal tissue of diabetic rats and its possible mechanisms.

Methods: SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control group (as the normal group), the diabetic model group (the model group), the low dose TPL treatment group (the low dose TPL group, TPL 0.2 mg/kg by gastrogavage), the high dose TPL treatment group (the high dose TPL group, TPL 0.

[Application of Vis/NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to the rapid detection and identification of tomato fruit via space mutation breeding].

In order to quickly analyze varieties of tomato via space mutation breeding with near infrared spectra, characteristics of the pattern were analyzed by partial least square. The model was built with radial basis function neural network and regarded the compressed data as the input of neural network input vectors. The model regarded the compressed data as the input of neural network input vectors and the training process was speeded up.

Preparation of high-affinity rabbit monoclonal antibodies for ciprofloxacin and development of an indirect competitive ELISA for residues in milk.

A convenient competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for ciprofloxacin (CPFX) was developed by using rabbit monoclonal antibodies (RabMAbs) against a hapten-protein conjugate of CPFX-bovine serum albumin (BSA). The indirect competitive ELISA of CPFX had a concentration at 50% inhibition (IC(50)) of 1.47 ng/ml and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.

[Research on discrimination method of tomato via space mutation breeding based on spectroscopy technology].

In order to quickly analyze varieties of tomato via space mutation breeding with near infrared spectra, firstly, principal component analysis was used to analyze the clustering of tomato leaf samples, and then abundant spectral data were compressed by wavelet transform and the model was built with radial basis function neural network, which offered a quantitative analysis of tomato varieties discrimination. The model regarded the compressed data as the input of neural network input vectors and the training process speeded up. One hundred and five leaf samples of CK, M1 and M2 were selected randomly to build the training model, and forty five samples formed the prediction set.

Effects of krill oil on serum lipids of hyperlipidemic rats and human SW480 cells.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and colon cancer incidence are known to be closely related to dietary factors. This article evaluated effects of krill oil (KO) on serum lipids of hyperlipidemia rats and human colon cancer cells (SW480). Serum lipids of rats fed with high fat diet (HFD) and different doses of KO were measured by automatic analyzer.
