Cognitive control, although it has limited capacity, serves an essential role in supporting a broad range of cognitive functions. The backward masking majority function task (MFT-M) is a validated behavioural method for measuring the capacity of cognitive control (CCC), but the administration is lengthy. We tested the relative efficiency of administering the MFT-M using an adaptive method based on the principles of computerised adaptive testing (CAT).

However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. To gain insight into the protein molecules associated with Cd toxicity in placenta and explore their roles in Cd transportation, a reproductive animal experiment was carried out using Sprague-Dawley rats.

Article Synopsis
- The LIP1 gene, crucial for producing a key enzyme in Candida rugosa, was artificially synthesized and cloned into two different expression vectors for testing in Pichia pastoris.
- The transformed yeast strains were compared, revealing that the strain with the pGAPZalphaA vector was more efficient at producing LIP1 than the one with pPICZalphaA.
- After optimizing fermentation conditions, the most successful strain, CHT-II, could secrete a significantly higher level of LIP1 into the supernate, confirming the success of the genetic modification.
Guinea pig maximization test for trichloroethylene and its metabolites.
Biomed Environ Sci
June 2002
Objectives: To study the contact allergenic activities of trichloroethylene (TCE) and its three metabolites trichloroacetic acid, trichloroethanol and chloral hydrate.
Methods: A modified guinea pig maximization test (GPMT) was adopted. The skin sensitization (edema and erythema) was observed in trichloroethylene, trichloroacetic acid, trichloroethanol, chloral hydrate and 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene.
Objectives: To determine the possible relationship between plasma potassium concentration and severity of acute trimethyltin chloride (TMT) poisoning and to assess the mechanism of TMT induced hypokalemia.
Methods: SD rats were treated with various dosages of TMT (i.p.
