Abstract
This article assesses the epidemic potential of soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) in the United States. In the assessment, there are three critical components of uncertainty: (i) suitability of climate conditions in production areas for soybean rust epidemics; (ii) likelihood of establishment of the fungus in North America; and (iii) the seasonal dispersal potential of the pathogen from overwintering regions to major soybean production regions. Assessments on the first and second components suggest soybean rust epidemics are likely in the United States, and the certainty of the third component is yet to be determined. Comparison of epidemiological factors for soybean rust in soybean production regions between China and the United States shows a complicated picture with the United States having factors that both increase and decrease risk. Future investigation of risk components-incipience in the field and long-distance dispersal-is needed.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been studied using a silver-coated porous glass-ceramic material as a new type of substrate. The porous glass-ceramic is in the CaO-TiO2-P2O5 system prepared by controlled crystallization and subsequent chemical leaching of the dense glass-ceramic, leaving a solid skeleton with pores ranging in size from 50 nm to submicrometer. Silver was coated on the surface of the porous glass-ceramic by radio frequency (RF) sputtering or e-beam evaporation in vacuum. SERS spectra of excellent quality were obtained from several dyes and carboxylic acid molecules, including rhodamine 6G, crystal violet, isonicotinic acid, and benzoic acid, using this new substrate. This new substrate showed a good compatibility with these molecules. The porous glass ceramic with a nanometer-structured surface accommodated both test molecules and silver film. The absorbed molecules were therefore better interfaced with silver for surface-enhanced Raman scattering.

Abstract
AIMS To explore the role of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) in treating high risk corneal keratoplasty in rats. METHODS Rat corneal high risk transplantation rejection models were set up using Fisher 344 and Lewis rats. The experimental rats were injected intraperitoneally with 0.2 ml SEB at different concentrations before keratoplasty. The rejection indexes of the allograft were recorded and the lymphocyte infiltration in the allograft and the percentage of the lymphocyte subpopulation in the lymphatic organs were also examined. Lymphocyte proliferation ability and the concentration of IL-2 and IL-10 in the serum were also evaluated. RESULTS Compared with the control group, SEB prolonged the survival time of the allograft significantly from 7 to 12 days. It could also reduce CD4(+) and CD8(+) lymphocyte infiltration in the allograft and minimise the percentage of CD4(+) and CD8(+) lymphocytes in the lymphatic organs. The lymphocyte proliferation ability was also weakened. However, the percentage of CD4(+) NK T lymphocytes in the lymphatic organs was raised. The serum concentration of IL-10 was higher but IL-2 was lower in the SEB treated groups. CONCLUSIONS SEB prolonged the survival time of the allograft in high risk rat corneal allo-transplantation, which may be caused by T cell deletion and acquisition of non-specific tolerance.

Abstract
A novel repositioning approach is described for repeated observations of a specimen at a close proximal location in the atomic force microscope. The approach is similar to keystone architecture, whereby the repositioning is achieved by forming a male structured base for the specimen, and a corresponding female counterpart as the frame. For the combination of an acrylic acid frame and a metal base, 90% translation shifts are less than 10 microm, and almost all angular disorientations are within +3 degrees to -3 degrees . Nanometre-scale surface features can be relocated easily and reliably even after 40 imaging-removal-imaging cycles, dipping the specimen in solutions or heating up to 500 degrees C.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the involvement of enterovirus infection in chronic, rheumatic heart disease. METHODS AND RESULTS Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, surgical samples of valve tissue were examined for the presence of enteroviral RNA and virus capsid protein VP1 by in situ hybridization and immunostaining. Of 53 cases, 33 were patients with chronic rheumatic heart disease and 20 had Marfan's syndrome or degenerative valve disease. Enterovirus RNA was detected in 8 (24.2%) of 33 patients with chronic rheumatic heart disease by in situ hybridization using strand-specific oligonucleotide probes, complementary to conserved sequences in enterovirus genomic (positive strand) RNA. The replication template (negative strand) RNA also was found in seven of these eight cases. The viral capsid protein VP1 was detected in 16 (48.5%) of 33 patients with chronic rheumatic heart disease by immunohistochemistry and correlated with viral RNA detection. Virus was localized generally to valvular tissue. Neither viral RNA nor capsid protein VP1 were found in valvular tissue from any of the 20 comparison cases. CONCLUSIONS This is the first demonstration of detection and localization of both enterovirus RNA and capsid protein in chronic rheumatic heart disease. The presence of negative strand RNA and VP1 indicates enteroviral RNA replication and protein synthesis and suggests an aetiological role of enterovirus in the pathogenesis of chronic rheumatic heart disease.

Abstract
The neonatal mammalian skeletal muscle contains both type 1 and type 3 ryanodine receptors (RyR1 and RyR3) located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. An allosteric interaction between RyR1 and dihydropyridine receptors located in the plasma membrane mediates voltage-induced Ca(2+) release (VICR) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. RyR3, which disappears in adult muscle, is not involved in VICR, and the role of the transiently expressed RyR3 remains elusive. Here we demonstrate that RyR1 participates in both VICR and Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) and that RyR3 amplifies RyR1-mediated CICR in neonatal skeletal muscle. Confocal measurements of intracellular Ca(2+) in primary cultured mouse skeletal myotubes reveal active sites of Ca(2+) release caused by peripheral coupling between dihydropyridine receptors and RyR1. In myotubes lacking RyR3, the peripheral VICR component is unaffected, and RyR1s alone are able to support inward CICR propagation in most cells at an average speed of approximately 190 microm/s. With the co-presence of RyR1 and RyR3 in wild-type cells, unmitigated radial CICR propagates at 2,440 microm/s. Because neonatal skeletal muscle lacks a well developed transverse tubule system, the RyR3 reinforcement of CICR seems to ensure a robust, uniform, and synchronous activation of Ca(2+) release throughout the cell body. Such functional interplay between RyR1 and RyR3 can serve important roles in Ca(2+) signaling of cell differentiation and muscle contraction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the biological stabilities and the identification of a human highly metastatic osteosarcoma subpopulation. METHODS Tumor pieces of the cell were inoculated into nude mice orthotopically. Lung node metastatic foci were obtained by culturing, the procedure was repeated for 3 cycles. Changes were observed in intra-tibial tumor growth, pulmonary metastatic rate in vivo, morphological characteristics, expressions of BMP, vimentin, actin, NEC and karyotype analyses of every passage in vitro. RESULTS The intra-tibial tumor growth rates were 100%, the proliferation abilities were stable, and the pulmonary metastatic rates were higher than 80%. The expressions of BMP, vimentin, actin were positive, but the expression of NSE was negative. Its morphological characteristics the antigen-positive substances and karyotype were similar to those observed in human osteosarcoma. CONCLUSION SOSP-M1 with very stable biological characteristics is a good model for the study of human osteosarcoma.

Abstract
In the spring of 2000, there were 12 sand-dust storms in Beijing. 2 sand-dust storms were experienced in time and mass concentrations, elementary concentrations acidity and acidic buffering capacity of TSP(Total Suspended Particulate, < 100 microns) and PM10(Inhalable particulate, < 10 microns) were sampled and analyzed. Results showed that pollution level of aerosols was extremely high. However, the acidity of aerosols was relatively low and the aerosols had very strong acid buffering capacity for acidification. Therefore, the aerosols brought about by the sand-dust storms could avoid the occurrence of acidic precipitation to some extent.

Abstract
Apoptosis is a physiological counterbalance to mitosis and plays important roles in tissue development and homeostasis. Cytosolic Ca(2+) has been implicated as a proapoptotic second messenger involved in both triggering apoptosis and regulating cell death-specific enzymes. A critical early event in apoptosis is associated with the redistribution of Bax from cytosol to mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes; however, the molecular mechanism of Bax translocation and its relationship to Ca(2+) is largely unknown. Here we provide functional evidence for a synergistic interaction between the movements of intracellular Ca(2+) and cytosolic Bax in the induction of apoptosis. Overexpression of Bax in cultured cells causes a loss of ER Ca(2+) content. Depletion of ER Ca(2+) through activation of the ryanodine receptor enhances the participation of Bax into the mitochondrial membrane. Neither Bax translocation nor Bax-induced apoptosis is affected by buffering of cytosolic Ca(2+) with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, suggesting that depletion of ER Ca(2+) rather than elevation of cytosolic Ca(2+) is the signal for cell apoptosis. This dynamic interplay of Ca(2+) and Bax movements may serve as an amplifying factor in the initial signaling steps of apoptosis.

Abstract
Expression of four members of the KChIP family of potassium channel beta subunits was examined in canine heart. Only one member of the gene family, KChIP2, was expressed in heart. There was a steep gradient of KChIP2 mRNA expression across the canine ventricular free wall. KChIP2 mRNA was 25-fold more abundant in the epicardium than in the endocardium, and this gradient paralleled the gradient in transient outward current (Ito) expression. In contrast, Kv4.3 potassium channel alpha subunit mRNA was expressed at equal levels across the ventricular wall. There was no difference in the pharmacological sensitivity of epicardial and endocardial Ito channels to flecainide, suggesting that the current is produced by the same channel in the two tissues. A similar gradient of KChIP2 expression was found across the ventricular wall of human heart, but not rat heart. It is concluded that transcriptional regulation of the KChIP2 beta subunit gene, rather than the Kv4.3 [alpha] subunit gene, is the primary determinant regulating the transmural gradient of Ito expression in the ventricular free wall of canine and human heart.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the subconjunctival application of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) can prolong the corneal graft survival in the rat model of orthotopic penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS For all experiments, F344 corneas were transplanted into LOU (major histocompatibility-disparate) eyes. Experimental groups received subconjunctival injection of 50, 100 and 200 microg IL-1ra respectively, and the control group received the same volume of 0.9% normal saline instead for consecutive 2 weeks. All transplants were evaluated for 4 weeks after surgery for signs of rejection. RESULTS The mean survival time (MST) of the grafts of the experimental groups was increased significantly (t = 0.00, P < 0.01) in comparison with the control group. The MST of the IL-1ra 200 microg group was increased significantly than that of the IL-1ra 50 microg group (t = 0.00, P < 0.01). Furthermore, the IL-1ra-treated grafts had significantly less corneal inflammation, infiltration, lower levels of opacity, edema, neovascularization and rejection index compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS Subconjunctival treatment of IL-1ra has a significantly positive effect on promoting corneal allograft survival. And its effect is dosage-dependent.

Abstract
The HCN family of ion channel subunits underlies the currents I(f) in heart and I(h) and I(q) in the nervous system. In the present study, we demonstrate that minK-related peptide 1 (MiRP1) is a beta subunit for the HCN family. As such, it enhances protein and current expression as well as accelerating the kinetics of activation. Because MiRP1 also functions as a beta subunit for the cardiac delayed rectifier I(Kr), these results suggest that this peptide may have the unique role of regulating both the inward and outward channels that underlie cardiac pacemaker activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE As part of a study to assess the role of cervical ectopia in the acquisition of cervical infections, we determined the reliability of cervical ectopia measurements made by computer planimetry and by clinical (visual) assessment. STUDY DESIGN We conducted pelvic examinations of 1004 women seeking contraceptive services at two health centers in Baltimore. After application of acetic acid, clinicians estimated the relative area of ectopia by visual inspection and took cervical photographs. Two independent raters measured the absolute and relative areas of ectopia from the digitized images by means of an analytic software program. Agreement levels between raters, between multiple readings by the same rater, and between the two measurement methods were quantified by means of the intraclass correlation coefficient and weighted kappa. RESULTS Intrarater agreement was excellent for computer planimetry measurements of the absolute (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.97) and relative (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.89) areas of ectopia. Interrater agreement was also high for computer planimetry measurements of the absolute (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.83) and relative (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.85) areas of ectopia. Agreement levels were moderate between clinician assessment and computer planimetry measurements of the relative area of ectopia (kappa = 0.48), but agreement was better when clinical assessment was limited to observations by a single, experienced clinician. CONCLUSION Measurement of cervical ectopia by computer planimetry was highly reliable and appears appropriate for assessment of the role of ectopia in the acquisition of cervical infections. Clinical assessment of cervical ectopia may be used when computer planimetry is not available.

Abstract
Simultaneous determination of multicomponents of six amino acids with a novel chemometric technique-a linear neural network (LNN) algorithm is reported in this study. Based on the data correlation coefficient and standard deviation method, 17 representative wavelength points are selected from the original UV spectral data (343 points) as the original input patterns for LNN to build a neural network model. The results obtained only by iterating 15 times is satisfying, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999 and a relative small standard deviation.
