Arabidopsis AtPRP17 functions in embryo development by regulating embryonic patterning.

Arabidopsis AtPRP17, a homolog of yeast splicing factor gene PRP17, is expressed in siliques and embryos and functions in embryo development via regulating embryonic patterning. Yeast splicing factor PRP17/CDC40 is essential for cell growth through involvement in cell cycle regulation. Arabidopsis genome encodes a homolog of PRP17, AtPRP17; however, its function in Arabidopsis development is unknown.

Genetical study of mutation in maternal-fetal ABO incompatibility.

This study looked into a family involving a rare mother-child ABO blood type inconsistency and explored its genetic and molecular basis. In the family, the mother had type AB blood and the father was blood type B and they gave birth to a baby of blood type O. Their blood types were phenotypically identified by using different techniques, including micro-column gel test, immune inhibition test, absorption and elution tests.

[Identification of genotype III Japanese encephalitis virus isolated in Zhejiang province].

Objective: To investigate the molecular characteristics and genotype of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) found in vector mosquitoes in Zhejiang province from 1982 to 1983.

Methods: A total of 3188 mosquitoes were collected in Dinghai district and Yiwu city in Zhejiang province, during year 1982 and 1983. The virus was isolated by C6/36 cell, and then identified by hemagglutination inhibition test.

[Observations on clinic curative effect of oxymatrine to cure hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS)].

Objective: To observe the curative effect of oxymatrine to cure hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

Methods: Randomly divide 418 patients suffering from hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome into a treatment group and a control group, use oxymatrine to give an intravenous drip to the patients in the treatment group, one time a day, each time 600 mg, lasting for 7 days as one period of treatment and meanwhile take a traditional equilibrium salt treatment for the patients in the control group. Observe the change of the illness in both groups and occurrence of complications, dynamically test the magnitude of serum urination-regulated protein (THP) and beta(2) microglobulin (beta(2)M) of the patients, in the meantime observe the change in magnitude of serum white blood cell medium 15 (IL-15) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecules (sICAM-1).

[Preparation of Ge/SiO2 nanometer-crystal doped glass and study of its photoluminescence property].

Ge/SiO2 nanometer-crystal doped glass was prepared through sol-gel method. The gel was synthesized through the hydrolysis of a complex solution of Si (OC2H5)4 and Ge(OC2H5)4. The product gel was then heated at 700 degrees C in H2.
