[Differential proteins in the prostate fluid with abnormal lecithin bodies and immunologic mechanism of chronic prostatitis patients].

Objective: To study the protein changes in the prostate fluid with abnormal lecithin bodies, and explore their relationship with the pathogenesis of chronic prostatitis.

Methods: Using the tandem mass tag (TMT) technology, we identified differential proteins in the prostate fluid with abnormal lecithin bodies in normal males and analyzed their biological functions by GO functional annotation and KEGG pathways.

Results: Totally, 377 differential proteins were identified, 238 up-regulated and the other 139 down-regulated, and 8 of the top 20 significant differential proteins were related to inflammation and immune regulation.

[Effects of soil warming on specific respiration rate and non-structural carbohydrate concentration in fine roots of Chinese fir seedlings].

A field mesocosm experiment with Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) seedlings was conducted in Chenda State-Owned Forest Farm, Sanming, Fujian Province. The effects of soil warming (ambient +5 ℃) on specific respiration rates and nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) concentrations in fine roots were measured by the ingrowth core method, to reveal the belowground responses and the adaptability of Chinese fir to global warming. The results showed that soil warming caused significant changes of fine root NSC in the second year.
