Abstract
This paper presents a novel reaction microscope designed for ion-atom collision investigations, established at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou, China. Its time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometer employs an innovative flight-time focusing method consisting of two acceleration regions, providing optimal time focusing conditions for charged fragments with diverse initial velocities. The TOF spectrometer's axis intentionally tilts by 12° relative to the ion beam direction, preventing potential obstructions from the TOF grid electrodes. The introduced focusing method allows for a flexible time-focusing TOF spectrometer design without restricting the length ratio of the two regions. In addition, this configuration in our case significantly suppresses noise on the recoil ion detector produced by residual gas in the ion beam trajectory, which is a considerable challenge in longitudinal spectrometers. In a test experiment on the single electron capture reaction involving 62.5 keV/u He2+ ions and a helium atomic beam, the recoil longitudinal momentum resolution achieved 0.068 atomic units. This novel configuration and successful test run show excellent precision for ion-atom collision studies.

Abstract
Chiral materials have attracted significant research interests as they exhibit intriguing physical properties, such as chiral optical response, spin-momentum locking, and chiral induced spin selectivity. Recently, layered transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-TaS_{2} has been found to host a chiral charge density wave (CDW) order. Nevertheless, the physical consequences of the chiral order, for example, in electronic structures and the optical properties, are yet to be explored. Here, we report the spectroscopic visualization of an emergent chiral electronic band structure in the CDW phase, characterized by windmill-shaped Fermi surfaces. We uncover a remarkable chirality-dependent circularly polarized Raman response due to the salient in-plane chiral symmetry of CDW, although the ordinary circular dichroism vanishes. Chiral Fermi surfaces and anomalous Raman responses coincide with the CDW transition, proving their lattice origin. Our Letter paves a path to manipulate the chiral electronic and optical properties in two-dimensional materials and explore applications in polarization optics and spintronics.

Abstract
Effective and comprehensive evaluation of cold stress is critical for healthy dairy cow breeding in the winter. Previous studies on dairy cow cold stress have considered thermal environmental factors but not physiological factors or air quality. Therefore, this study aimed to propose a multilevel fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) method for cold stress in dairy cows based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and a genetic algorithm (GA). First, the AHP was used to construct an evaluation index system for cold stress in dairy cows from 3 dimensions: thermal environment (temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and illumination), physiological factors (respiratory rate, body surface temperature), and air quality [NH3, CO2, inhalable particulate matter (PM10)]. Second, the consistency test of the judgment matrix was transformed into a nonlinear constrained optimization problem and solved using the GA. Next, based on fuzzy set theory, the comment set and membership function were established to classify the degree of cold stress into 5 levels: none, mild, moderate, high, and extreme. Then, the degree of cold stress in cows was obtained using multilevel fuzzy comprehensive judgment. To investigate the effect of illumination indicators on cold stress in dairy cows, 24 prelactation cows from the south and north sides were selected for a 117-d comprehensive cold stress evaluation. The results showed that the mean mild cold stress durations were 605.3 h (25.22 d) and 725.5 h (30.23 d) and the moderate cold stress durations were 67.2 h (2.8 d) and 96 h (4.0 d) on the south and north sides, respectively. Simultaneously, generalized linear mixed model showed that there were significant correlations between the daily cold stress duration and milk yield, feeding time, lying time, and active steps in the cows on both sides. This method can reasonably indicate cow cold stress conditions and better guide cold protection practices in actual production.

Abstract
Objective: To study the relations between famine exposure and the risk of chronic diseases as diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke in the population of Harbin. Methods: Our data was collected from the baseline survey-the China Kadoorie Biobank project (CKB) in Harbin. Retrospective cohort study design was used. Related risks on chronic diseases including diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke, were compared among the famine exposed or non-exposed people, respectively by logistic analysis method. Results: After adjusted for factors as age, sex, physical activity, smoking, alcohol intake, diet, family history of diseases, it appeared that the factor 'famine exposure' had increased the risks of diseases as obesity (OR=1.204, 95%CI: 1.104-1.313, P<0.01), hypertension (OR=1.315, 95%CI: 1.210-1.429, P<0.01) and coronary heart disease (OR=1.495, 95%CI: 1.369-1.632, P<0.01). The lower the age of population being exposed to famine, the greater the risk of the development of all kinds of chronic diseases. Conclusions: Famine exposure appeared a risk factor for obesity, hypertension, and coronary heart disease. It is of great significance to ensure the life-long nutrition of the people, especially in the early and adolescent stages, to prevent obesity, hypertension, and coronary heart disease in their later lives.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C(3)N(4)) and boron-doped g-C(3)N(4) were prepared by heating melamine and the mixture of melamine and boron oxide, respectively. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectra were used to describe the properties of as-prepared samples. The electron paramagnetic resonance was used to detect the active species for the photodegradation reaction over g-C(3)N(4). The photodegradation mechanisms for two typical dyes, rhodamine B (Rh B) and methyl orange (MO), are proposed based on our comparison experiments. In the g-C(3)N(4) photocatalysis system, the photodegradation of Rh B and MO is attributed to the direct hole oxidation and overall reaction, respectively; however, for the MO photodegradation the reduction process initiated by photogenerated electrons is a major photocatalytic process compared with the oxidation process induced by photogenerated holes. Boron doping for g-C(3)N(4) can promote photodegradation of Rh B because the boron doping improves the dye adsorption and light absorption of catalyst.

Abstract
The g-C(3)N(4) photocatalyst was synthesized by directly heating the low-cost melamine. The methyl orange dye (MO) was selected as a photodegrading goal to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of as-prepared g-C(3)N(4). The comparison experiments indicate that the photocatalytic activity of g-C(3)N(4) can be largely improved by the Ag loading. The strong acid radical ion (SO(4)(2-) or NO(3)(-)) can promote the degrading rate of MO for g-C(3)N(4) photocatalysis system. The MO degradation over the g-C(3)N(4) is mainly attributed to the photoreduction process induced by the photogenerated electrons. Our results clearly indicate that the metal-free g-C(3)N(4) has good performance in photodegradation of organic pollutant.

Abstract
We have constructed a physical map of the human genome by using a panel of 90 whole-genome radiation hybrids (the TNG panel) in conjunction with 40,322 sequence-tagged sites (STSs) derived from random genomic sequences as well as expressed sequences. Of 36,678 STSs on the TNG radiation hybrid map, only 3604 (9.8%) were absent from the unassembled draft sequence of the human genome. Of 20,030 STSs ordered on the TNG map as well as the assembled human genome draft sequence and the Celera assembled human genome sequence, 36% of the STSs had a discrepant order between the working draft sequence and the Celera sequence. The TNG map order was identical to one of the two sequence orders in 60% of these discrepant cases.

Abstract
The tripeptide glutathione (gamma-L-Glu-L-Cys-Gly, GSH) is thought to play an important role in the biological processing of antimony drugs. We have studied the complexation of the antileishmanial drug potassium antimony(III) tartrate to GSH in both aqueous solution and intact red blood cells by NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The deprotonated thiol group of the cysteine residue is shown to be the only binding site for Sb(III), and a complex with the stoichiometry [Sb(GS)3] is formed. The stability constant for [Sb(GS)3] was determined to be log K 25 (I = 0.1 M, 298 K) based on a competition reaction between tartrate and GSH at different pH* values. In spite of being highly thermodynamically stable, the complex is kinetically labile. The rate of exchange of GSH between its free and Sb-bound form is pH-dependent, ranging from slow exchange on the 1H-NMR timescale at low pH (2 s-1 at pH 3.2) to relatively rapid exchange at biological pH (> 440 s-1). Such facile exchange may be important in the transport of Sb(III) in various biofluids and tissues in vivo. Our spin-echo 1H-NMR data show that Sb(III) rapidly entered red blood cell walls and was complexed by intracellular glutathione.

Abstract
Potent, subnanomolar thrombin inhibitors 4, 5, and 6 are developed through side chain optimization of novel, benzo[b]thiophene-based small organic entities 2 and 3 and through SAR additivity studies of the new structural elements identified. X-ray crystallographic studies of 4b-thrombin complex revealed a hydrophobic and an electrostatic interaction of these new elements with thrombin at the S2 and S3 binding sites. In vitro and in vivo pharmacological studies showed that 4, 5, and 6 are potent anticoagulants in human plasma with demonstrated antithrombotic efficacy in a rat model of thrombosis.

Abstract
The effect and mechanism of kappa opiate receptor agonist and high-frequency electrostimulation of acupoints in treating spinal spasticity were studied. The spinal spastic models were made by gradual mechanical compression on the cervical spinal cord of rabbits. 24 prepared rabbits were divided into 3 groups randomly, and each group with 8 rabbits was given intrathecally kappa-receptor agonist 66A-078, kappa-receptor antagonist +66A-078 and normal saline respectively. The degree of spasticity was quantified by both clinical score and electrophysiological examinations. The result showed that the spasticity was markedly inhibited by intrathecal injection of 66A-078 and that the kappa-receptor antagonist (naloxone) reversed this effect. We can infer that the antispastic effect of 66A-078 is mediated by kappa-receptors. This result is helpful in explaining the immediate antispastic mechanism of high-frequency electrostimulation of acupoints discussed in previous study.

Abstract
Thirty-two patients with spinally originated muscle spasticity were treated with a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator, the Han's acupoint nerve stimulator (HANS) via skin electrodes placed over the acupoints on the hand and leg. High frequency (100 Hz), but not the low frequency (2 Hz), stimulation was effective in ameliorating muscle spasticity. While the therapeutic effect lasted for only 10 minutes in the first treatment, it became consolidated after consecutive daily treatment for 3 months. The anti-spastic effect induced by high frequency electrical stimulation can be partially reversed by a high dose of naloxone. The results suggest that the anti-spastic effect elicited by peripheral electrical stimulation is mediated, at least in part, by the endogenous opioid ligand interacting with the kappa opiate receptors, most probably dynorphin, in the central nervous system.

Abstract
Two glycoforms of a secretable human thrombomodulin mutant [TMD1-105 and TMD1-75; Parkinson, Grinnell, Moore, Hoskins, Vlahos & Bang (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 12602-12610] were expressed in human 293 cells and used to study the role of glycosylation in the functions of this endothelial-cell thrombin receptor. Carbohydrate content analysis and intrinsic labelling with [3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulphate showed that TMD1-105 contained a chondroitin sulphate whereas TMD1-75 did not. Other than chondroitin sulphate, the carbohydrate contents of the two glycoforms were identical, indicating similar glycosylation patterns at other O-linked and N-linked sites in the two glycoforms. The properties of TMD1-105 were converted into those of TMD1-75 by chondroitin ABC lyase digestion. Trypsin digestion of labelled TMD1-105 permitted isolation of two overlapping peptides that contained chondroitin sulphate, spanned the entire O-glycosylation domain and had O-glycosylation sites at Ser-492, Ser-498, Thr-500, Thr-504 and Thr-506. The chondroitin sulphate-attachment site was assigned to Ser-492 as this residue is conserved in mouse and bovine thrombomodulin and lies within a sequence Ser-Gly-Ser-492-Gly-Glu-Pro, which has strong similarity to chondroitin sulphate attachment sites in other proteoglycans. Five peptides with N-linked carbohydrate were also isolated and contained glycosylation sites in the lectin-like domain (Asn-47, Asn-115, Asn-116) and in the fourth (Asn-382) and fifth (Asn-409) epidermal growth factor domains. The role of N-linked and simple O-linked carbohydrates in the functions of human thrombomodulin remain unclear. The present studies demonstrate, however, that the presence of chondroitin sulphate in human thrombomodulin has profound effects on all of the anticoagulant properties of this important anticoagulant thrombin receptor.

Abstract
Transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) treatment was given for 30 min to 37 patients divided into 3 groups of 10 patients and 1 group of 7 patients. Two groups received low-frequency (2 Hz) and the other 2 groups high-frequency (100 Hz) stimulation. A diagnostic lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample was obtained immediately before and after stimulation. The CSF samples were subjected to analysis of immunoreactive (ir) opioid peptides, Met-enkephalin-Arg-Phe (MEAP) from preproenkephalin and dynorphin A (Dyn A) from preprodynorphin, respectively. Low frequency TENS applied on the hand and the leg resulted in a marked increase (367%, P less than 0.05) of ir-MEAP but not ir-Dyn A, whereas high-frequency (100 Hz) TENS produced a 49% increase in ir-Dyn A (P less than 0.01) but not ir-MEAP. This is the first report in humans that 2 Hz and 100 Hz peripheral stimulation induces differential release of peptides from preproenkephalin and preprodynorphin, respectively.

Abstract
Human Protein C (HPC), an antithrombotic factor with potential clinical utility, is a vitamin K-dependent protein that has several complex post-translational modifications. In an effort to define the functional roles of these modifications, recombinant HPC (rHPC) was expressed in and characterized from 3 adenovirus-transformed cell lines. The rHPC in crude culture medium from the 3 cell lines displayed anticoagulant activities that were either higher, slightly lower or much lower than that of plasma HPC. The rHPC from each cell line was purified and characterized using a novel, but simple chromatographic method, termed "pseudo-affinity", capable of resolving molecules differing by only very slight modifications. We demonstrate the critical dependence of full gamma-carboxylation on the function of this protein. In addition, our data indicate that both the gamma-carboxyglutamate and glycosyl contents affect the functional activities of rHPC.

Abstract
Three major questions regarding the post-translational modification of amino acid side chains in proteins are briefly considered: (1) What are the biological functions of the reactions, (2) what is the specificity of the processing reactions in selecting only a few or sometimes even only one residue for modification, and (3) how do we solve the uniqueness of the processing steps in the production of recombinant proteins? The answers to these questions are not obvious at this time.

Abstract
Liuwei Dihuang Decoction is a representative classic prescription for nourishing Yin in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Experimental and clinical studies showed that the recipe could 1. inhibit carcinogenesis of anterior stomach by N-nitrososarcosine ethyl ester in mice; 2. inhibit the formation of lung tumors induced by Urethan in mice; 3. decrease spontaneous tumorigenesis in LACA strain; 4. inhibit the mutagenic activity of Endoxan in micronuclear test. Patients with epithelial dysplasia of esophagus, a preneoplastic lesion, were treated by using this recipe. The canceration rate within 1 year was 2.2% in the treated and 12.4% in an untreated group. Within 5 years these rates were 9% and 26% respectively (p less than 0.025).

Abstract
A 23-year-old woman with incomplete paralysis was operated upon for a giant cell tumor in the thoracic spine. X-ray films revealed a destruction lesion in the vertebral body of the 12th thoracic vertebra. On the plain thoracic computed tomography scan, the finding was a soap-bubble appearance with a linear high density area in the mass lesion which destroyed the vertebral body. Preoperative angiography showed no apparent feeding artery to the tumor tissue; preoperative myelography showed incomplete block at the level of the 12th thoracic vertebra. A radical operation was carried out in one stage via a combined antero-posterior approach. In order to give radiotherapy immediately after operation, a vascular pedicled rib graft was made. This paper discusses the role of thoracic computed tomography scan in the diagnosis of giant cell tumor and the surgical techniques used in treatment.

Abstract
The soluble tubulin of human cerebral cortex, as assessed by [3H]colchicine binding of the 100,000 g supernatant fraction, decreases drastically with age, 75 percent from age 0 to age 90. There is also a considerably lower concentration of high molecular weight proteins in the soluble fraction of postmortem human cerebral cortex than in that of nonhuman species. Human brain tubulin can be polymerized into microtubules with DEAE-dextran. The DEAE-dextran induced microtubules are stable to cold temperature (4 degrees) and calcium. However, in the presence of 1 M glutamate, the microtubules become cold labile and depolymerize at 4 degrees. Thus we have developed a novel method for purifying polymerization competent tubulin from fresh or frozen human cerebral cortex. Human brain tubulin purified by our novel method is very similar to tubulin from the brains of other mammals in molecular weight, amino acid composition, polymerization-depolymerization parameters, and structural dimensions of the microtubules formed.

Abstract
The catalytic subunit of phosphoprotein phosphatase (Mr = 35,000) is inactivated by phosphate compounds such as trimetaphosphate, PPi, and ATP. The inactivation of phosphoprotein phosphatase by these phosphate compounds is time- and concentration-dependent, is not reversed by dilution or gel filtration and is protected by Pi. A dissociation constant for the enzyme-trimetaphosphate complex and a rate constant for the reaction were calculated to be 4.6 x 10(-4) M and 0.29 min-1, respectively. The inactivation of phosphatase by PPi and ATP shows more complex kinetics than that by trimetaphosphate. The addition of EDTA to PPi and ATP exhibits more potent inactivation, even though EDTA alone does not inactivate phosphatase. This phosphoprotein phosphatase is not labeled by [gamma-32P]ATP. The inactivation of phosphatase by PPi or ATP can only be reversed by Mn2+ or Co2+, among all other metals or cationic compounds tried. The reactivation also requires sulfhydryl compounds. The effectiveness of sulfhydryl compounds follows the order: dithioerythritol greater than mercaptoethanol greater than cysteine. Glutathione was without effect. Metal analysis of the catalytic subunit did not reveal any significant amounts of Ca, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Sn, or Zn. Phosphoprotein phosphatase activity from zinc-deficient rat livers also eliminated the possibility of this phosphatase being a zinc metalloenzyme. Inactivation does not seem to be due to a loss of a critical metal ion. Other mechanisms for inactivation are presented.
