Abstract
An immunomagnetic beads-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (IMBs-ELISA) was developed for the detection of β-casein in bovine milk. Immunomagnetic beads (IMBs) were employed as the solid phase. The anti-β-casein monoclonal antibody (McAb) bound to IMBs was used as capture probe and an anti-β-casein polyclonal antibody (PcAb), labelled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), was employed as detector probe. Three reaction and two washing steps were needed. Each reaction needed 10 min or less, which significantly shortened detection compared with classic sandwich ELISA. β-Casein in bovine milk was detected across a linear range (2-128 μg mL(-1)). Application results were in accordance with the Kjejdahl method, which suggests the IMBs-ELISA is rapid and reliable for the detection of β-casein in bovine milk.

Abstract
In this study we report the production of a monoclonal antibody (Mab) specific for Cr(III)-chelate and the development of a competitive immunoassay for detection of Cr(III) in water samples. In the assay, the complete antigen (Cr(III)-ITCBE-BSA) was used as coating antigen, and Cr(III)-ITCBE as competitor competes with coating antigen to bind with Mab. Using this approach, the spiked water samples with Cr(III) were detected. The linear range of the detection was 0.7-12.4 ng mL(-1). The limit of the detection (LOD) was 0.51 ng mL(-1). The spiked results were also confirmed by ICP-MS, which showed a good correlation (R(2)=0.997) between the two methods. The results indicated that the developed assay was reliable and suitable for the detection of Cr(III) in water samples.

Abstract
The objectives of this investigation were to develop and validate the expressed sequence tag (EST)-simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from large EST sequences, and to study the segregation and distribution of SSRs within two grapevine parental lines. In total, 94 F₁ lines crossed between "Early Rose" and "Red Globe" were studied. Approximately 2100 EST-SSR sequences of Vitis vinifera L. were searched for SSRs and analyzed for the design of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers amplifying the SSR-rich regions. Trinucleotide repeats were found to be the most abundant, followed by other nucleotide repeats. A total of 182 SSR primer pairs were first developed for the study on the parental polymorphism. Among the 182 SSR primers, 142 primer pairs (78%) could amplify the anticipated PCR products, among which only 52 primer pairs (36.62%) showed polymorphism between the two parents. These polymorphic bands were further surveyed among the 94 F₁ lines, and the results showed that a total of 162 bands were amplified, and 98 of them were polymorphic in both parents (60.86% polymorphism), with an average of 1.88 polymorphic DNA bands for each primer pair. After testing with the chi-square test, 33 of the clearly amplified polymorphic bands followed a 3:1 ratio, and 37 followed a 1:1 ratio. The rest showed distorted segregation ratios.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) and C3 (APOC3) genes are involved in the PPAR lipid metabolism pathway and thus associated with elevated triglyceride levels. However, whether APOA5 and APOC3 genetic polymorphisms affect intramuscular fat deposition and other meat quality traits remains unknown in pigs. One hundred and seventy-one Kele pigs were sampled to investigate genetic variants in the APOA5 and APOC3 genes and their association with seven pork quality traits. We identified 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of the APOA5 gene and 17 SNPs in the APOC3 gene. Linkage disequilibrium analysis revealed 5 complete linkage disequilibria among these 22 SNPs. We found that 10 SNPs were significantly correlated with meat quality traits, including the mutation A5/-769 in the APOA5 gene, which was significantly associated with cooked weight percentage, and 9 SNPs in the APOC3 gene that were significantly associated with drip loss rate, meat color value of longissimus dorsi muscle and shear force. Therefore, these SNP markers will be useful for marker-assisted selection for improved pork quality.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be propagated in vitro in primary cultures of human hepatocytes and some stable hepatoma cell lines maintained under specific conditions. The lack of simple and non-neoplastic cell culture systems for HBV has hampered the analysis of virus life cycle and development of antiviral compounds. In this study, we succeeded in prolonging the lifespan of human hepatocytes in primary culture by transducing them with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene. The transgenic cells expressed hTERT constitutively and propagated HBV up to 5x105 DNA copies/ml for 28 days.

Abstract
Previous studies have conflicting views on the effect of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)/PDGF receptor (PDGFR) signaling on osteogenesis. The current study investigated the effect of PDGF receptor-beta (PDGFR-β) inhibition by AG-1295 on the osteogenic differentiation of the mouse pre-osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1. Osteogenic differentiation was induced by treatment with β-glycerophosphate, ascorbic acid, and dexamethasone along with or absent AG-1295. Results showed that AG-1295 significantly increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and enhanced the formation of mineralized nodules in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, treatment with AG-1295 resulted in up-regulated mRNA expression of the osteogenic marker genes collagen type I (Col1A), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osterix (Osx), tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (Tnap), and osteocalcin (Ocn). Consistent with its effect on osteoblast differentiation, AG-1295 also significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of Erk1/2 in MC3T3-E1 cells. In conclusion, findings suggest that blocking the PDGFR-β pathway with AG1295 markedly promotes osteoblast differentiation and matrix mineralization in mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells and that the Erk1/2 pathway might participate in this process.

Abstract
Transport in disordered armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGR) with long-range correlation between quantum wire contacts is investigated by a transfer matrix combined with Landauer's formula. The metal-insulator transition is induced by disorder in neutral AGR. Therein, the conductance is one conductance quantum for the metallic phase and exponentially decays otherwise, when the length of AGR approaches infinity and far longer than its width. Similar to the case of long-range disorder, the conductance of neutral AGR first increases and then decreases while the conductance of doped AGR monotonically decreases, as the disorder strength increases. In the presence of strong disorder, the conductivity depends monotonically and non-monotonically on the aspect ratio for heavily doped and slightly doped AGR, respectively. For edge disordered graphene nanoribbon, the conductance increases with the disorder strength of long-range correlated disordered while no delocalization exists, since the edge disorder induces localization.

Abstract
Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is a non-tuberculous mycobacterium and an important emerging pathogen causing skin, soft tissue and pulmonary infections. The case of a 59-year-old man with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and current pulmonary infection due to M. abscessus, complicated with pneumocardial disease and bronchiectasis, is described. Zhiel-Neelsen stain and acid Lowenstein-Jensen culture were both positive for acid-fast bacillus. The patient was initially misdiagnosed and ineffectively treated for pulmonary TB. Antimycobacterial susceptibility tests found the isolate to be resistant to four first-line and seven second-line antituberculosis drugs. The isolate was finally identified as M. abscessus using 16S ribosomal RNA and hsp65 and rpoB gene sequence analysis. Species of mycobacterium should be included in the differential diagnosis when patients do not respond to standard antituberculosis therapy. Molecular methods are useful for rapid and species-specific identification.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the synthesis of crystalline beta-FeSi2 via the reaction of Si and Fe powders under high-temperature and high-pressure. X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering results confirm formation of the beta-FeSi2 phase. Scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and selected-area electron diffraction patterns show that the beta-FeSi2 phase coexists with Si phase with small nanocrystal sizes. The formation of the beta-FeSi2 phase is a result of Si diffusion into Fe region. The obtained results suggest that the removal of Si phase can be reached through increasing Fe content and prolonging the duration of high-pressure thermal treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence, the clinical manifestations, familial aggregation and heritability of Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) and Sayiwak disease (SD) in China. METHODS 10,823 people from 1361 families in 14 villages in Linyou County, Shaanxi Province, were examined for KBD, and 2264 people from 552 families in Sayiwak village, Kashi city, Xinjiang, were examined for SD. The investigation included documentation of individual information and clinical manifestations. Patients were subject to radiographic imaging of the right hand. t-Tests and chi-square tests were used to examine correlations of the diseases with age and gender in each of the two groups. Analysis of familial aggregation was conducted with the chi-square distribution analysis of goodness of fit using the SAS8.0 program. The Li-Mantel-Gart method was employed for the segregation analysis. The Falconer regression method11 was employed to estimate heritability (h²). RESULTS The prevalence of KBD in Linyou County was 10.90%, and of SD in Sayiwak village was 0.57%. Of the 21 clinical signs examined, KBD cases exhibited 19 signs (90.48%) and SD cases exhibited 18 signs (85.71%), which indicate similarities between the two diseases. However, different clinical signs were evident between the KBD and SD cases, with different impairment rates among joints of limbs in KBD and similar rates in SD. A comparison of radiological features of limb arthropathy between the two diseases showed differences in several characteristics between the two diseases. In addition, measurements of stature and sitting height showed significant differences in bone development between the two diseases. For KBD cases, the values of h² in the first-degree and the second-degree relatives were 41.76% and 37.20% (P<0.05). The CI of h² was 31.17-52.38 and 19.86-54.55, with a segregation ratio of P=0.12, SE(P)=0.014, 95%CI 0.09-0.15, less than 0.25(χ²=42.36, df=1, P<0.001). For SD cases, the values of h² were 155.61%, 273.63% and 236.83%. The 95% CIs of h² were 133.20-178.12, 229.83-317.42 and 145.83-327.81, respectively, with a segregation ratio of P=0.34, SE(P)=0.059, and CIs between 0.22 and 0.45(χ²=4.9817, df=1, P>0.05). CONCLUSION The results indicate both similarities and differences in the clinical manifestations of KBD and SD. However, environmental factors appear to play a major role in KBD, while hereditability is a major factor in SD.
