Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and evaluate a rapid biochip system for the determination of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates and clinical sputum samples. DESIGN We developed a total solution-based system, including a biochip kit, apparatus for sample preparation, hybridisation, washing and data acquisition, and dedicated software for automated diagnosis. The biochip simultaneously identifies M. tuberculosis and detects the most commonly found mutations in the rpoB, katG and inhA genes. The system was assessed with 330 mycobacterial isolates and 129 sputum samples for rifampicin (RMP), and with 205 isolates and 105 sputum samples for isoniazid (INH), and then compared to DNA sequencing and conventional drug susceptibility testing (DST). RESULTS The entire biochip assay took 6 h. The concordance rate between the biochip assay and the DNA sequencing results was 100%. Compared to conventional DST, the concordance rates were 91.8% for isolates and 94.6% for sputum samples for RMP resistance, and 70.2% for isolates and 78.1% for sputum samples for INH resistance. CONCLUSION The biochip system provides a simple, rapid, reliable and accurate clinical assay for the parallel detection of M. tuberculosis and prevalent MDR-TB in a 6 h procedure, using either culture isolates or sputum samples for diagnosis.

Abstract
Obesity in human was found mainly due to the poor transportation of leptin through brain-blood barrier (BBB), called as leptin resistance. To produce a leptin capable of penetrating BBB, we have added Tat-PTD(9) to the C terminal of leptin to construct a fusion protein. The fusion Tat-leptin and native leptin genes were synthesized by single-step insertion of a polymerase chain reaction and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (Rosseta). The expressing products were purified and renatured by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, and identified by the molecular size in SDS-PAGE gel and by its immunoreactivity to specific antibody with Western-blotting assay. To bio-functionally evaluate the fusion protein, Balb/c mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD) were given Tat-leptin, leptin or saline for 19 days. The immunohistochemical staining showed the increases in positive stains for the leptin in the region of hypothalamus of the HFD mice with either Tat-leptin or leptin as compared to saline group, but the staining intensity and frequency in the group with Tat-leptin were stronger and higher than those in the group with leptin. Furthermore, the most efficiency in preventing the body-weight gain caused by HFD was found in Tat-leptin group among these three groups. These results suggest that Tat-modified leptin may become a great potential candidate for the prevention or therapy of obese patients.

Abstract
The neutron elastic magnetic form factor was extracted from quasielastic electron scattering on deuterium over the range Q;{2}=1.0-4.8 GeV2 with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. High precision was achieved with a ratio technique and a simultaneous in situ calibration of the neutron detection efficiency. Neutrons were detected with electromagnetic calorimeters and time-of-flight scintillators at two beam energies. The dipole parametrization gives a good description of the data.

Abstract
A search for exotic mesons in the pi;{+}pi;{+}pi;{-} system photoproduced by the charge exchange reaction gammap-->pi;{+}pi;{+}pi;{-}(n) was carried out by the CLAS Collaboration at Jefferson Lab. A tagged-photon beam with energies in the 4.8 to 5.4 GeV range, produced through bremsstrahlung from a 5.744 GeV electron beam, was incident on a liquid-hydrogen target. A partial wave analysis was performed on a sample of 83 000 events, the highest such statistics to date in this reaction at these energies. The main objective of this study was to look for the photoproduction of an exotic J;{PC}=1;{-+} resonant state in the 1 to 2 GeV mass range. Our partial wave analysis shows production of the a_{2}(1320) and the pi_{2}(1670) mesons, but no evidence for the a_{1}(1260), nor the pi_{1}(1600) exotic state at the expected levels. An upper limit of 13.5 nb is determined for the exotic pi_{1}(1600) cross section, less than 2% of the a_{2}(1320) production.

Abstract
We report on the results of the first measurement of exclusive f_{0}(980) meson photoproduction on protons for E_{gamma}=3.0-3.8 GeV and -t=0.4-1.0 GeV2. Data were collected with the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The resonance was detected via its decay in the pi;{+}pi;{-} channel by performing a partial wave analysis of the reaction gammap-->ppi;{+}pi;{-}. Clear evidence of the f_{0}(980) meson was found in the interference between P and S waves at M_{pi;{+}pi;{-}} approximately 1 GeV. The S-wave differential cross section integrated in the mass range of the f_{0}(980) was found to be a factor of about 50 smaller than the cross section for the rho meson. This is the first time the f_{0}(980) meson has been measured in a photoproduction experiment.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis is crucial for beta-cell function and survival. Direct as well as indirect evidence has pointed toward Ca(2+) as an important determinant of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-induced beta-cell dysfunction and apoptosis. In the present study, we show that IL-1beta-induced apoptosis and necrosis in primary rat beta-cells and MIN6 cells largely depends on ER stress, ER Ca(2+) release, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation. beta-cells also showed marked sensitivity to apoptosis induced by sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA) blockers, thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). IL-1beta induced ER Ca(2+) release, which was paralleled by an IL-1beta-dependent induction of JNK activation and the ER stress response, including activation of PRK (RNA-dependent protein kinase)-like ER kinase (PERK). Furthermore, reduced activation of JNK, utilizing JNK inhibitor SP600125, resulted in significant protection from IL-1beta- or thapsigargin-induced apoptosis via ER stress. In conclusion, our results suggest that the IL-1beta-induced depletion of ER Ca(2+) and activation of the ER stress via JNK pathway are potential contributory mechanisms to beta-cell death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The amelioration of insulin resistance by treatment with crocetin is closely related to the hypolipidaemic effect. The present study is designed to clarify the insulin-sensitizing mechanism of crocetin by elucidating the mechanism of regulation of lipid metabolism by crocetin. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Rats given a high-fat diet were treated with crocetin for 6 weeks before hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp. 14C-palmitate was used as tracer to track the fate of non-esterified fatty acids or as substrate to measure beta-oxidation rate. Triglyceride clearance in plasma and lipoprotein lipase activity in tissues were tested. Content of lipids in plasma and tissues was determined. Real-time PCR was used to assay the level of mRNA from genes involved in non-esterified fatty acid and triglyceride uptake and oxidation. KEY RESULTS Crocetin prevented high-fat-diet induced insulin resistance (increased clamp glucose infusion rate), raised hepatic non-esterified fatty acid uptake and oxidation, accelerated triglyceride clearance in plasma, enhanced lipoprotein lipase activity in liver, and reduced the accumulation of detrimental lipids (DAG and long-chain acyl CoA) in liver and muscle. Genes involved in hepatic lipid metabolism which are regulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha, were modulated to accelerate lipid uptake and oxidation. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Through regulating genes involved in lipid metabolism, crocetin accelerated hepatic uptake and oxidation of non-esterified fatty acid and triglyceride, and reduced lipid availability to muscle, thus decreasing lipid accumulation in muscle and liver, and consequently improving sensitivity to insulin.

Carbon-supported copper (Cu/GAC) catalyst was prepared by conventional impregnation method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The sizes of Cu particles dispersing on the surface of GAC were 0.3-1.5 microm, which could be penetrated by microwave so that Cu/GAC catalyst could absorb microwave energy effectively. The catalysis of Cu/GAC in microwave assisted catalytic oxidation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) in aqueous solution was investigated through a fixed bed reactor under ambient pressure and continuous flow mode. PNP removal reached 91.8% under optimized conditions, corresponding to 88% of TOC removal. It showed a higher PNP degradation and total organic carbon (TOC) removal for Cu/GAC catalyst than GAC alone, and Cu/GAC catalyst kept on a high catalysis and a good stability for a long time run, which indicated that GAC structure and catalytic capacity were improved by the load of Cu.

Abstract
The beam-spin asymmetries in the hard exclusive electroproduction of photons on the proton (e p-->epgamma) were measured over a wide kinematic range and with high statistical accuracy. These asymmetries result from the interference of the Bethe-Heitler process and of deeply virtual Compton scattering. Over the whole kinematic range (x(B) from 0.11 to 0.58, Q2 from 1 to 4.8 GeV2, -t from 0.09 to 1.8 GeV2), the azimuthal dependence of the asymmetries is compatible with expectations from leading-twist dominance, A approximately a sinphi/(1+c cosphi). This extensive set of data can thus be used to constrain significantly the generalized parton distributions of the nucleon in the valence quark sector.

Abstract
Acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases are the most common neurological disorders in human and affect millions of individuals worldwide. While the specific clinical presentation varies among such diseases, their common feature is neural cell death. Yet, despite major advances in the understanding of neural cell death, effective treatment for these diseases remains one of the foremost challenges for medicine today. The transplantation of embryonic cells into the diseased brain in human has emerged out a mere theory and is possible as a practical application. This advancement, however, has raised important ethical, technical and immunological concerns. Studies have documented that neurogenesis occurs in the adult brain and that endogenous neural stem/progenitor cells (NSCs) respond to neurodegenerative diseases, suggesting that it might be possible for dead or injured neural cells to be replaced by endogenous NSCs. In this regard it is especially interesting to know the biological behaviors of endogenous NSCs in response to neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these changes could lead to the development of new strategies for treating neurological diseases using endogenous NSC pool.

Abstract
We examine the results of two measurements by the CLAS collaboration, one of which claimed evidence for a Theta(+) pentaquark, while the other found no such evidence. The unique feature of these two experiments was that they were performed with the same experimental setup. Using a Bayesian analysis, we find that the results of the two experiments are in fact compatible with each other, but that the first measurement did not contain sufficient information to determine unambiguously the existence of a Theta(+). Further, we suggest a means by which the existence of a new candidate particle can be tested in a rigorous manner.

Abstract
The photoproduction of vector mesons on various nuclei has been studied using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory. The vector mesons, rho, omega, and varphi, are observed via their decay to e;{+}e;{-}, in order to reduce the effects of final-state interactions in the nucleus. Of particular interest are possible in-medium effects on the properties of the rho meson. The rho mass spectrum is extracted from the data on various nuclei, 2H, C, Fe, and Ti. We observe no significant mass shift and some broadening consistent with expected collisional broadening for the rho meson.
