Abstract
A partially palindromic 15-nt. sequence upstream from a juvenile hormone-regulated gene (jhp21) was previously identified in the African migratory locust, Locusta migratoria. This sequence was proposed as a juvenile hormone (JH) response element (JHRE), and a protein that bound to it, as a transcription factor (TF). A yeast strain was constructed containing four tandem copies of the JHRE and after transfection with a cDNA library made to fat bodies from vitellogenic females, yeast one-hybrid experiments yielded sequences for four putative binding proteins. One of these sequences, corresponding to a transcript that was present in fat body irrespective of JH stimulation, encodes a 35kDa protein. This was designated tfp1 and appears to have a leucine zipper motif and a lipid-binding motif. Recombinant tfp1 bound to JHRE in electrophoretic mobility shift experiments and addition of tfp1 antibody in the binding reaction resulted in the disappearance or shift of TF. We suggest that JH induces the association of pre-existing proteins, including tfp1, to form an active complex, which binds to the JHRE upstream from jhp21 and regulates its transcription.

Abstract
Azimuthal correlations of jet-induced high-p(T) charged hadron pairs are studied at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The distribution of jet-associated partner hadrons (1.0<p(T)<2.5 GeV/c) per trigger hadron (2.5<p(T)<4.0 GeV/c) is found to vary with collision centrality, in both shape and yield, indicating a significant effect of the nuclear collision medium on the jet fragmentation process.

Abstract
Two new strains of Escherichia coli B were engineered for the production of lactate with no detectable chiral impurity. All chiral impurities were eliminated by deleting the synthase gene (msgA) that converts dihydroxyacetone-phosphate to methylglyoxal, a precursor for both L: (+)- and D: (-)-lactate. Strain TG113 contains only native genes and produced optically pure D: (-)-lactate. Strain TG108 contains the ldhL gene from Pediococcus acidilactici and produced only L: (+)-lactate. In mineral salts medium containing 1 mM betaine, both strains produced over 115 g (1.3 mol) lactate from 12% (w/v) glucose, >95% theoretical yield.

Abstract
14081 Background: This study was to explored the functional mechanism of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in maintaining the proliferation of human hepatoma cells line Bel 7402 and the immunsuppression of lymphocyte Jurkat cells. Methods: Western blot was used to detecting the expression of some apoptosis-related gene, fluorescence labeled AFP and confocal microscopy scanning for receptor binding assay in the membrane in Jurkat cells. Results: It showed that AFP could enhance the expression of survivin and c-ras, but restrain caspase-3 express in Bel 7402 cells by Western blotting analysis. It also showed that AFP could bind to the membrane of Jurkat cells by confocal microscopy scanning, and when treated Jurkat with AFP, it indicated that AFP could repress the expression of survivin and Livin and elevated the activity of caspase-3 in the cells; Co-cultured Bel 7402 cells with Jurkat cells, the expression of tumor necrosis related-apoptosis induced ligand (TRAIL) in Jurkt cells was inhibited, when pretreatment with monoclonal antibody of AFP (Anti-AFP), the restrained effect of TRAIL express and the activity of caspase-3 was elevated in Jurkat cells was removed. It also indicated that Anti-AFP had an ability to block these functions of AFP. Conclusions: AFP has a capability to promote the growth and escape from immune surveillance of human hepatoma cells through enhancing the expression of ras and survivin gene in Bel 7402 cells, suppressing TRAIL, survivin and Livin expressed and upregulated activity of caspase-3 in Jurkat cells.

Abstract
17082 Background: Chemotherapy is main treatment for advanced NSCLC. But its efficacy is quite small with improvement of 1–2 months in median survival. New strategy against NSCLC is needed. Oncolytic adenovirus H101 is found to be effective against NSCLC. This trial is desigened to investigate efficacy and toxicity of intratumoral injection of H101 in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of NSCLC. Methods: The NSCLC patients confirmed cytologically or pathologically were randomized to intratumoral injection of adenovirus H101 (1.5 × 1012 viral particles) plus NP chemotherapy (arm A) or NP chemotherapy (arm B). Objetive response was evaluated every two cycles and time to progression (TTP) and overall survival were followed up. Results: Out of 18 evaluable patients in Arm A, 4 patients showed partial response (PR),3 minor response(MR), 7 stable disease (SD) and 4 disease progression (PD), while in Arm B 16 evaluable patients showed 3 PR, 4 MR, 3 SD and 6 PD. At the first time of response evaluation, there was 1 PD in Arm A,but in Arm B there were 5 of PD. Failure rate in Arm B was significantly higher than in Arm B. Survival curves between the two arms were similar. Six month, 9 month and 1 year survival rates were slightly higher in Arm B and median TTP was also prolonged in Arm A. Except non-infectious fever, Arm A was similar in other toxicities to Arm B. there was only 2 patients developing mild pneumothorax. Conclusions: Intratumoral injection of H101 1.5 × 1012 viral particles in combination with NP chemotherapy was feasible, effective and safe in treatment of advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
Deuteron-gold (d+Au) collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider provide ideal platforms for testing QCD theories in dense nuclear matter at high energy. In particular, models suggesting strong saturation effects for partons carrying small nucleon momentum fraction (x) predict modifications to jet production at forward rapidity (deuteron-going direction) in d+Au collisions. We report on two-particle azimuthal angle correlations between charged hadrons at forward/backward (deuteron/gold going direction) rapidity and charged hadrons at midrapidity in d+Au and p+p collisions at square root of sNN=200 GeV. Jet structures observed in the correlations are quantified in terms of the conditional yield and angular width of away-side partners. The kinematic region studied here samples partons in the gold nucleus with x~0.1 to ~0.01. Within this range, we find no x dependence of the jet structure in d+Au collisions.

Abstract
Arthropods cope with reduced oxygen and elevated carbon dioxide atmospheres with a reduction in metabolic rate, also called metabolic arrest. The reduction in metabolism lessens the pressure on the organism to initiate anaerobic metabolism, but also leads to a reduction in ATP production. The natural permeability of cellular membranes appears to be important for the survival of the arthropod under low oxygen or high carbon dioxide atmospheres. Despite the similarities in response, arthropod mortality is generally greater in response to high carbon dioxide as apposed to low oxygen atmospheres. There appears to be a greater decrease in ATP and energy charge in arthropods exposed to high carbon dioxide as compared with low oxygen atmospheres, and this may be due to greater membrane permeability under carbon dioxide leading to an inefficient production of ATP. Reduced oxygen and elevated carbon dioxide atmospheres can have an additive effect in some cases, depending on the concentrations used. The effect of these atmospheres on arthropods depends also on temperature, species and life stage. Additional work is needed to fully understand the mode of action of controlled atmospheres on arthropod pests.

Abstract
Inclusive transverse momentum spectra of eta mesons have been measured within p(T) = 2-10 GeV/c at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment in Au + Au collisions at square root S(NN) = 200 GeV. In central Au+Au the eta yields are significantly suppressed compared to peripheral Au + Au, d + Au, and p + p yields scaled by the corresponding number of nucleon-nucleon collisions. The magnitude, centrality, and p(T) dependence of the suppression is common, within errors, for eta and pi0. The ratio of eta to pi0 spectra at high p(T) amounts to 0.40 < R(eta/pi)0 < 0.48 for the three systems, in agreement with the world average measured in hadronic and nuclear reactions and, at large scaled momentum, in e+e- collisions.

Abstract
Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) is considered to be an organ-specific autoimmune disease. However, the pathogenesis of GO is incompletely understood at the present time. To clarify the immunological differences between newly diagnosed GO and Graves' disease (GD) without ophthalmopathy or healthy controls (HC), we examined T-cell profile and the Th1/Th2 profile cell balance in GO (n=20), GD (n=20) and HC (n=20) using flow cytometry. We also assessed the influence of methimazole on the immunocyte profiles in patients with GO and GD and analyzed the relationship of the immunologic changes with CAS, FT3, FT4, TRAb, TMA and TGA among the three investigated groups. We report in this study that: 1) The percentage of CD4+ T cells and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ cells were higher, but the population of CD8+ T cells was lower in both GO and GD than those of HC (P<0.05); 2) The percentage of CD8-/IFNgamma+ T cells (Th1) and the ratio of CD8-/IFNgamma+ to CD8-/IL-4+ T cells (Th1/Th2) in GO were considerably higher as compared to those in GD and HC (P<0.05). On the contrary, the population of Th1 cells, as well as the ratio of Th1/Th2 cells, was lower in GD than that of GO and HC (P<0.05); 3) There were no significant differences in T-cell profile and the Th1/Th2 cell balance in either GO or GD patients before and after methimazole treatment; 4) There was a positive correlation of Th1 cell percentage and the Th1/Th2 cell ratio with the clinical activity score (CAS) in GO (P<0.05), whereas CAS in GO had no correlation with the T-cell profile, the percentage of Th2 cells, and TRAb (P>0.05); 5) T-cell subset and the ratio of Th1/Th2 cells did not correlate significantly with FT3, FT4, TRAb, TMA, or TGA in GO and GD (P>0.05). Finally, 6) there were no statistical differences in TRAb, TMA, and TGA between early GO and GD without ophthalmopathy (P>0.05). Collectively, these results indicate that the balance of Th1/Th2 in GO shifts to Th1 dominance and that the cellular immune responses mediated by the Th1-type CD4+ cells might play a dominant role in the pathogenesis of GO, and thus suggest that the Th1 cell percentage and the ratio of Th1/Th2 cell subsets may be potentially utilized as clinical parameters for disease activity, for monitoring the effectiveness of immunosuppressive treatment, or for developing immunospecific forms of therapy for Graves' ophthalmopathy.

Abstract
Osmotic stress restricts glycolytic flux, growth (rate and yield), D-lactate productivity, and D-lactate tolerance in Escherichia coli B strain SZ132 during batch fermentation in mineral salts medium with 10% (w/v) sugar. Addition of 1 mM: betaine, a non-metabolized protective osmolyte, doubled cell yield, increased specific productivity of D-lactate and glycolytic flux by 50%, and tripled volumetric productivity (from 8.6 to 25.7 mmol l(-1) h(-1); 0.8 to 2.3 g l(-1) h(-1)). Glycolytic flux and specific productivity in mineral salts medium with betaine exceeded that in Luria broth, substantially eliminating the need for complex nutrients during D-lactate production. In mineral salts medium supplemented with betaine, SZ132 produced approximately 1 mol D-lactate (90 g) per 100 g sugar (glucose or sucrose).

Abstract
Derivatives of ethanologenic Escherichia coli K011 were constructed for D: (-)-lactate production by deleting genes encoding competing pathways followed by metabolic evolution, a growth-based selection for mutants with improved performance. Resulting strains, SZ132 and SZ186, contain native genes for sucrose utilization. No foreign genes are present in SZ186. Strain SZ132 also contains a chromosomally integrated endoglucanase gene (Erwinia chrysanthemi celY). Strain SZ132 produced over 1 mol lactate per liter of complex medium containing 10% (w/v) sugar (fermentation times of 48 h for glucose, 120 h for sucrose). Both strains produced 667-700 mmol lactate per liter of mineral salts medium. Yields for metabolized sugar ranged from 88% to 95% in both media.
