Abstract
A toroidal carbon nanowire (TCNW) model is proposed for an ideal one-dimensional mesoscopic ring, consisting of a toroidal carbon nanotube (TCN) and an encapsulated carbon ring, of which the electronic structure and thus the persistent current (I(pc)) are investigated within the tight-binding formalism. The tube-ring interactions lead to a charge transfer from the inner ring to the outer TCN, and thus the Fermi level rises and the band overlaps in a certain flux range. In zigzag TCNWs with a metallic TCN, the actual magnetic response, the amplitude and the period of I(pc) in the primary carbon ring are concealed by those in the resultant TCNW; in zigzag TCNWs with a semiconducting TCN, I(pc) exhibits the same behavior as that in their primary carbon rings. The results show that I(pc) in the sample ring depends strongly on the surrounding environment and thus a semiconducting or insulating matrix may provide a desired environment for measuring persistent current in mesoscopic rings.

Abstract
To understand the underlying mechanism(s) for the effect of exercise at different intensities on T cell and DNA vaccination responses, we treated mice in a training protocol with regular moderate-intensity exercise (MIE) or prolonged, exhaustive high-intensity exercise (HIE). After 6 weeks of training, splenocytes were isolated to evaluate cytokine expression and T-regulatory (Treg) cell proportion by RT-PCR and FACS, respectively. Another set of mice that completed the same training protocol were used to determine DNA vaccination responses. These mice were immunized three times with HBV DNA vaccine at 2-week intervals and euthanized on day 14 after the last immunization. Serum and splenocytes were isolated to determine humoral and cell-mediated immunity (CMI). Results showed that HIE increased anti-inflammatory cytokine expression and CD4(+) CD25(+) Treg cell proportion. Further, HIE decreased IFN-γ expression, T-lymphocyte proliferation, and antigen-specic cytotoxic response in HBV DNA vaccine-immunized mice. MIE did not change anti-inflammatory cytokine expression or CD4(+) CD25(+) Treg cell proportion but increased pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and augmented antigen-specific CMI. Thus, MIE lower the risk of cancer and infectious illness through enhancing the pro-inflammatory responses. By contrast, HIE might increase the risk of common infections, such as upper respiratory tract infection, due to an up-regulation of CD4(+) CD25(+) Treg cells and anti-inflammatory responses.

Abstract
With a sample of (225.2±2.8)×10(6) J/ψ events registered in the BESIII detector, J/ψ→γπ(+)π(-)η(') is studied using two η(') decay modes: η(')→π(+)π(-)η and η(')→γρ(0). The X(1835), which was previously observed by BESII, is confirmed with a statistical significance that is larger than 20σ. In addition, in the π(+)π(-)η(') invariant-mass spectrum, the X(2120) and the X(2370), are observed with statistical significances larger than 7.2σ and 6.4σ, respectively. For the X(1835), the angular distribution of the radiative photon is consistent with expectations for a pseudoscalar.

Abstract
The decays ψ'→γπ(0), γη and γη' are studied using data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e(+)e(-) collider. The processes ψ'→γπ(0) and ψ'→γη are observed for the first time with signal significances of 4.6σ and 4.3σ, respectively. The branching fractions are determined to be B(ψ'→γπ(0))=(1.58±0.40±0.13)×10(-6), B(ψ'→γη)=(1.38±0.48±0.09)×10(-6), and B(ψ'→γη')=(126±3±8)×10(-6), where the first errors are statistical and the second ones systematic.

Abstract
Background: It has not been fully understood how we can differentiate a new primary breast cancer from a recurrent tumor, when second tumor arises in ipsilateral breast after the surgery for primary breast cancer. To address this research question, we estimate the usefulness of a method analyzing polymorphism of androgen receptor gene and mitochondrial D-loop somatic mutation.
Materials and methods: 1) Select patients: Among the 558 patients who received the breast conservative surgery in Tokai University Hospital (1991∼2004), 9 ipsilateral breast tumors and 11 contralateral breast tumors were submitted for the analysis. 2) Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sections of non-neoplastic lymph node were examined whether polymorphism of AR gene present or not. 3) When polymorphism of AR gene in non-neoplastic lymphoid tissue were demonstrated, ipsilateral and contralateral breast cancers were further examined. 4) When AR gene in breast cancers on same allele in primary and secondary tumors, FFPE sections were further analyzed by mutaion analysis of mitochondrial D-loop region.
Results: 1) Polymorphism of AR was demonstrated in 8/9 (88.9%) and 9/11 (81.8%) non-neoplastic lymph nodes obtained from the patients who had ipsilateral and contralateral breast tumor, respectively. 2) Only 2 of 8 ipsilateral breast cancers demonstrated AR polymorphism different from primary cancer. In contrast, 6 of 9 contralateral breast cancers had different polymorphism for AR from primary breast cancers. 3) Analysis of mitochondrial D-loop mutation showed that 8 seconary ipsilateral cancers had different mutation in 3/8 (37.5%), identical mutation in 3/8 (37.5%), and no mutation in 2/8 (25.0%).
Results of analysis for ipsilateral secondary breast cancers
Conclusion: Half of the ipsilateral in breast secondary tumors were estimated as new primary lesions by molecular estimation. Combination analyses of AR gene polymorphism and mitochondrial D-loop somatic mutation unable us to distinguish between true recurrent or new primary cancers.

Abstract
Four oil component-degrading bacteria and one oil-tolerant microalgae, Scenedesmus obliquus GH2, were used to construct an artificial microalgal-bacterial consortium for crude-oil degradation. The bacterial strains included Sphingomonas GY2B and Burkholderia cepacia GS3C, along with a mixed culture, named GP3, containing Pseudomonas GP3A and Pandoraea pnomenusa GP3B. GY2B could only degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, GS3C was able to degrade aliphatic chain hydrocarbons, and GP3 could utilize both saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons. In combination with unialgal or axenic algae, the bacteria showed different effects on oil degradation. Unialgal GH2 was not suitable for the consortium construction, as it could not cooperate well with GS3C and GP3. The axenic GH2 exhibited no oil-degrading ability; however, it significantly promoted the degradation ability of the oil component-degrading bacteria, especially for degrading biorefractory polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Axenic S. obliquus GH2, combined with the four bacteria mentioned above, formed an optimal algal-bacterial consortium. The artificial consortium demonstrated an elevated efficiency in degrading both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons of crude oil.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the interaction of fluconazole (FLC) and honokiol (HNK) in vitro and vivo against azole-resistant (azole-R) clinical isolates of Candida albicans. METHODS AND RESULTS A checkerboard microdilution method was used to study the in vitro interaction of FLC and HNK in 24 azole-R clinical isolates of C. albicans. In vivo antifungal activity was performed to further analyse the interaction between FLC and HNK. In the in vitro study, synergism was observed in all 24 FLC-resistant strains tested as determined by fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI), and in 22 strains by Delta E models. No antagonistic activity was observed in any of the strains tested. These positive interactions were also confirmed by using the time-killing test for the selected strain C. albicans YL371, which shows strong susceptible to the combination of HNK and FLC. In the in vivo study, the mice with candidiasis were treated successfully by a combination therapy of HNK with FLC, the results showed a decrease of the colony forming unit in infected and treated animals compared to the controls, at the conditions of the treatment used in this study. CONCLUSIONS Synergistic activity of HNK and FLC against clinical isolates of FLC-resistant C. albicans was observed in vitro and in vivo. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This report might provide a potential therapeutic method to overcome the problem of drug-resistance in C. albicans.

Abstract
We present measurements of the charmonium state h(c)(1P(1)) made with 106x10(6) psi' events collected by BESIII at BEPCII. Clear signals are observed for psi'-->pi0 h(c) with and without the subsequent radiative decay h(c)-->gamma eta(c). First measurements of the absolute branching ratios B(psi'-->pi0 h(c)) = (8.4+/-1.3+/-1.0) x 10(-4) and B(h(c)-->gamma eta(c)) = (54.3+/-6.7+/-5.2)% are presented. A statistics-limited determination of the previously unmeasured h(c) width leads to an upper limit Gamma(h(c))<1.44 MeV (90% confidence). Measurements of M(h(c)) = 3525.40+/-0.13+/-0.18 MeV/c2 and B(psi'-->pi0 h(c)) x B(h(c)-->gamma eta(c)) = (4.58+/-0.40+/-0.50) x 10(-4) are consistent with previous results.

Abstract
Satellite glial cells (SGCs) surround primary afferent neurons in sensory ganglia, and increasing evidence has implicated the K(+) channels of SGCs in affecting or regulating sensory ganglion excitability. The inwardly rectifying K(+) (Kir) channel Kir4.1 is highly expressed in several types of glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) where it has been implicated in extracellular K(+) concentration buffering. Upon neuronal activity, the extracellular K(+) concentration increases, and if not corrected, causes neuronal depolarization and uncontrolled changes in neuronal excitability. Recently, it has been demonstrated that knockdown of Kir4.1 expression in trigeminal ganglia leads to neuronal hyperexcitability in this ganglia and heightened nociception. Thus, we investigated the contribution of Kir4.1 to the membrane K(+) conductance of SGCs in neonatal and adult mouse trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia. Whole cell patch clamp recordings were performed in conjunction with immunocytochemistry and quantitative transcript analysis in various mouse lines. We found that in wild-type mice, the inward K(+) conductance of SGCs is blocked almost completely with extracellular barium, cesium and desipramine, consistent with a conductance mediated by Kir channels. We then utilized mouse lines in which genetic ablation led to partial or complete loss of Kir4.1 expression to assess the role of this channel subunit in SGCs. The inward K(+) currents of SGCs in Kir4.1+/- mice were decreased by about half while these currents were almost completely absent in Kir4.1-/- mice. These findings in combination with previous reports support the notion that Kir4.1 is the principal Kir channel type in SGCs. Therefore Kir4.1 emerges as a key regulator of SGC function and possibly neuronal excitability in sensory ganglia.
