Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy of robotic-assisted single-incision-plus- one-port laparoscopic pyeloplasty (R-SILP+1) with single-incision laparoscopic pyeloplasty (SILP) in pediatric ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Methods: The clinical data of 47 children with UPJO who underwent surgery from October 2020 to September 2022 in the Department of Pediatric Surgery of Fujian Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the surgical method chosen by parents, the children were divided into R-SILP+1 group and SILP group. Baseline data, operative time, intraoperative anastomosis time, volume of blood loss, postoperative hospitalization time, complications, total costs, preoperative and postoperative renal parenchymal thickness (PT), anterior posterior diameter of renal pelvis (APD), and differential renal function (DRF) before and after operation were compared between the two groups, and the clinical efficacy of the two kinds of operation was evaluated. Results: Among the 47 children, 27 were in R-SILP+1 group, including 16 males and 11 females, aged (6.6±3.5) years; 20 were in SILP group, including 12 males and 8 females, aged (6.5±3.5) years. The operations were successful in both groups without conversion to open operation. There were no significant differences between the two groups in baseline data, volume of blood loss, complications, APD and PT at postoperative 6 months, APD, PT and DRF at postoperative 12 months (all P>0.05). Compared with the SILP group, the operative time [(153.0±14.4) vs (189.9±32.6) minutes, P<0.001], intraoperative anastomosis time [(68.8±16.8) vs (97.5±12.0) minutes, P<0.001], postoperative hospitalization time [(6.0±1.3) vs (9.0±1.3) d, P<0.001] were shorter, but the total cost was higher[(57 390±7 664) vs (30 183±4 219) yuan RMB, P<0.001]. Conclusions: Compared with the SILP group, R-SILP+1 can achieve considerable efficacy in treating pediatric UPJO, and has certain advantages in shortening operative time, intraoperative anastomosis time, and postoperative hospitalization time. However, the cost is high.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of mini-incision with endoscope-assisted resection for bilateral congenital second branchial cleft fistula, and to report on a rare pedigree. Methods: The clinical data of 5 patients with bilateral congenital second branchial fistula admitted in Fujian Provincial Hospital from April 2007 to December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed, including 2 males and 3 females, aged from 3 to 31 years old. The surgical strateges and clinical experience of single mini-incision with endoscope-assisted fistulectomy were summarized, and a rare pedigree was reported. Results: In five patients, Case 1 to Case 4 were treated with bilateral endoscopic-assisted fistula high ligation with titanium clips and removal through a single small incision under general anesthesia. No obvious complications occurred after the operation. The patients were followed up for 40-164 months with no fistula recurrence. Case 5 gave up surgical resection and was followed up for 24 months with acute infection attack once. Case 2 and Case 4 came from the same family. In this family, 7 out of 31 members of four generations had second branchial cleft fistulas, of which 4 were bilateral and 3 were right. Pedigree analysis was consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance. No deafness, preauricular tag, external and middle ear deformity and kidney malformation were found in the family members. Conclusions: Bilateral congenital second branchial cleft fistula is rare. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment. Mini-incision with endoscopic-assisted fistula high ligation with titanium clip and resection has clear operative field, ideal cosmetic effect and definite curative effect.

Abstract
To explore the effectiveness and summarize the experiences of transumbilical single incision plus one robotic-assisted surgery surgery in the treatment of pediatric choledochal cyst. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 10 children who underwent choledochal cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy from June to December 2020 at Fujian Provincial Hospital. The mean age was (4.6±1.7) years (range from 2 years to 8 years). The mean weight was (17.1±3.8) kg (range from 12.3 kg to 25.0 kg). The Todani classifications were type I (n=6) and type Ⅳ(n=4).The clinical symptoms were asymptomatic (n=4), abdominal pain (n=3), and abdominal pain with jaundice (n=3). Ten cases of transumbilical SILS+1 robotic-assisted choledochal cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy were completed successfully. The average duration of operation was 204-227 min ((220.0±7.2) min), the mean intraoperative bleeding was (7.67±0.86) ml (range, 6-9 ml) without blood transfusion, average fasting time was (2.30±0.48) days (range, 2-3 days), the average hospitalization time was (4.70±0.67) days (range, 4-6 days) and the medical expense was (5.30±0.42) ten thousand yuan (range, 4-6 ten thousand yuan). Ten patients did not develop early complications such as acute cholangitis, ranging from 3 months to 6 months. Ultrasonography showed no dilation of ductuli hepaticus communis and intrahepatic bile duct occurred at the third month after surgery. With the development of minimally invasive techniques and enhanced recovery, the da Vinci robotic surgical system will be extensively used. Transumbilical SILS+1 robotic-assisted surgery has equal effect with routine robotic-assisted surgery. The incision is more subtle and excellent, but the operation should be taken by sophisticated surgeon.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of sugammadex for antagonistic neuromuscular block in patients with radical resection of lung cancer under thoracoscope. Methods: One hundred patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer under thoracoscope in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March to September in 2019, were randomly divided into control group (group C) and sugammadex group (group S). All patients were anaesthetized (induced and maintained) with intravenous target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil, and intermittent intravenous injection of the neuromuscular block of rocuronium. During the operation, the bispectral index (BIS) was used to monitor the depth of anesthesia, and the neuromuscular block was assessed with TOF. Single-lung mechanical ventilation and double-lumen endotracheal intubation were carried out, and patient-controlled analgesia after operation were enforced. Patients in group C received neostigmine (2 mg) combined with atropine (0.5-1.0 mg) after thoracic closure, while patients in group S received sugammadex (2 mg/kg) at TOF count (≥2) after thoracic closure, and then double-lumen endotracheal tubes were extubated according to extubation indications. At these time points: T(0) (immediate before anesthesia induction), T(1) (immediate before tracheal intubation), T(2) (immediately after thoracic closure), T(3) (1 h after operation), T(4) (6 h after operation), T(5) (24 h after operation), T(6)(48 h after operation), the heart rate(HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded, QT interval (V3 ECG) were measured and calculated, indicators of liver function [alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase(AST)], renal function [blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cre)] and clotting function [thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and fibrinogen (FIB)] were detected. The duration of operation, postoperative conditions within 48 hours after operation(the time of tracheal tube extubation, respiratory suppression/dysfunction, allergy, nausea and vomiting, itching of skin, abnormal sensation), pathological types and the postoperative hospital stay were recorded. Results: There were no significant differences of the age, sex ratio, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading ratio, duration of operation, pathological types and the postoperative hospital stay, HR, MAP and QT interval between two groups (all P>0.05). There were no remarkable differences of the levels of serum histamine, ALT, AST, BUN, Cre, TT, PT, APTT and FIB before and after administration of neuromuscular blockade antagonists (neostigmine or Sugammadex) in the same group patients (all P>0.05), also no significant differences between group C and group S at the same time points (all P>0.05). Average time of tracheal tube extubation in group S [(3.7±1.3) min] was sharply shorter than that in group C [(14.5±4.4) min, t=2.266, P<0.05)]. There were no patients with allergy, skin itching, sensory abnormality in these two groups. There were no significant difference of the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting between these two groups. There were 5 patients with respiratory depression in group C and no respiratory depression patient in group S, the difference was statistically significant between these two groups (χ(2)=5.263, P<0.05). Conclusion: Sugammadex is effective for antagonizing the neuromuscular blockade of rocuronium in patients with radical resection of lung cancer under thoracoscope, and can shorten the time of tracheal tube extubation after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate adherence and the influence factors among patients who are on antiretrovirus therapy (ART) of 3 provinces in China. METHODS This study selected 18-year-old and older AIDS patients as the survey objects who initiated anti-retrovirus therapy between April and September of 2014 and kept on the treatment for one year in Yunnan,Sichuan,and Hu'nan province. Information of demography, treatment and social support was collected by questionnaires. Adopt SSRS questionnaire to calculate the information of objective support, subjective support and utilization of social support. χ(2) test and logistic regression were performed to examine relationships between factors and adherence. RESULTS A total of 386 patients with medication were investigated. Among them, there were 365 (94.6%) cases who were compliant to the ART, and 357 (92.5%) cases can take their pills on time, and 29 (7.5%) cases take their medication in excess of the prescribed time more than two hours. Social support score was 27.2 ± 7.3, including objective support score (5.6 ± 2.7), subjective support score (16.1 ± 4.8), and utilization of social support (5.5 ± 1.9). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that adherence was significantly associated with the correct cognition of medication (OR (95%CI): 3.24 (1.17-9.00)), the self-awareness of the drug regimen was not complexity (OR (95%CI): 9.34 (3.27-26.68)), taking medication 1 time a day (OR (95%CI): 4.00 (1.35-11.84)), and the batter utilization of social support (OR (95%CI): 1.49 (1.06-2.01)). Married/cohabiting or farmers tend to be nonadherenced, while the OR (95%CI) was 0.24 (0.08-0.67) and 0.23 (0.08-0.69), respectively. CONCLUSION The patients among these provinces were compliant to the ART, and most of them can take their pills on time. The social support score of these patients was lower than normal person. Participants who have correct cognition of medication, thinking their drug regimen was not complexity; Taking medication 1 time a day or have high level of utilization of social support showed a significantly higher level of self-reported adherence.

Abstract
Interferon- (IFN-) λ1 is regarded as a potent bio-active molecule in innate immunity. However, little is known about its role in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). We therefore investigated expression of IFN-λ1 in CSU, its cellular location, and its influence on inflammatory cell accumulation by using flow cytometry analysis, skin tissue dispersion, immunohistochemical stain, and a mouse peritoneal inflammation model. The results showed that level of IFN-λ1 was 2.0-fold higher in plasma of the patients with CSU than the level in healthy control (HC) subjects. Among leukocytes examined, only CD8(+) T cells expressed more IFN-λ1 in CSU blood. Double labeling immunohistochemical staining revealed that IFN-λ1(+) inflammatory cells such as mast cells, eosinophils, B cells, neutrophils, and macrophages were mainly located in dermis, whereas epidermis tissue highly expressed IFN-λ1. IFN-λ1 induced a dose-dependent increase in number of eosinophils, lymphocytes, mast cells, macrophages, and neutrophils in the peritoneum of mice at 6 h following injection, which was inhibited by pretreatment of the animals with anti-intercellular adhesion molecule- (ICAM-) 1 and/or anti-L-selectin antibodies. In conclusion, IFN-λ1 is likely to play a role in the pathogenesis of CSU. Blocking IFN-λ1 production may help to reduce the accumulation of inflammatory cells in the involved CSU skin.

Abstract
Carassius auratus var. pingxiangnensis is a natural triploid crucian carp mutant. In order to understand its placement and genetic background at the gene level, the characteristics of mitochondrial DNA sequences and phylogenetic relationship were examined. The results showed that the mitochondrial DNA is a circular double-stranded DNA molecule that is 16,576 bp in length with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding control region. Mitochondrial genes overlapped by a total of 40 bp in 11 different locations from 1 to 14 bp. The base composition of the C. auratus mitogenome was estimated to be 29.70% A, 26.74% C, 15.35% G, and 28.21% T. The central conserved blocks and the conserved blocks were compared and were similar among C. auratus var. pingxiangnensis and six other cyprinids with different ploidies. The origin of light strand replication was similar to that of other vertebrates; it was 33 bp, but the characteristic sequence motif 5ꞌ-GCCGG-3ꞌ at the base of the stem within tRNA(Cys) was mutated to 5ꞌ-GGCGG- 3ꞌ. Our phylogenetic analysis based on whole mitogenome sequences indicated that C. auratus var. pingxiangnensis was clustered with C. auratus and then sister-grouped with Carassius gibelio. The systemic developmental tree of crucian carp with different chromosome ploidies showed that diploid C. auratus auratus was clustered with triploid C. auratus auratus, sister-grouped with tetraploid C. auratus auratus, and clustered with other diploid, triploid, and tetraploid C. auratus.

Abstract
There are many recent observational studies on metabolic syndrome (MS) and the risk for ED, and it is still inconclusive whether MS increases the risk for ED. This meta-analysis aims to detect a relationship between MS and ED. We identified eligible studies by searching PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library for articles published before August 2013. Adjusted relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using random-effects or fixed-effects models. A total of 10 studies involving 4092 participants were included in the meta-analysis. MS was associated with an increased incidence of ED (RR=1.60, 95% CI=1.27-2.02, P<0.001), with significant evidence of heterogeneity among these studies (P for heterogeneity <0.001, I(2)=92.9%). The subgroup and sensitivity analyses confirmed the stability of the results and no publication bias was detected. The present meta-analysis suggests that MS is significantly associated with the risk for ED. Large-scale and well-designed prospective studies are required to further investigate the association between MS and risk for ED.

Abstract
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), an interleukin 7-like cytokine, can trigger dendritic cell (DC)-mediated T-helper type 2 (Th2) inflammatory responses. Recent evidence demonstrates that cytokines TSLP and OX40 (CD134)/OX40 ligand seem to be important players in the maintenance of Th2 memory pool in the pathogenesis of asthma. Accumulating data reveal that the pathogenic T cells involved in asthma are likely to be inflammatory Th2 cells. TSLP is involved in the development of asthma through crosstalk with nuclear factor NF-ĸB. Progression of skin fibrosis in atopic dermatitis occurs via TSLP/TSLP receptor. TSLP-mediated dermal inflammation aggravates experimental allergic asthma. Also, TSLP polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to asthma, atopic dermatitis, and eczema herpeticum. These findings suggest a master switch of TSLP in the initiation of allergic and adaptive inflammation through innate pathways at the epithelial cell-DC interface. The TSLP pathway is therefore a promising target for immunotherapy of allergic diseases.

Abstract
Uniform and vertical indium-oxide nanotube (IONT) arrays embedded well in n-type InP single crystal have been successfully prepared in situ by porous InP-template-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD). This IONT/InP nanostructure reveals high sensitivity to humidity at room temperature, which is ascribed to the ultrahigh surface-to-volume ratio of this nanostructure and the large number of oxygen defected states in IONTs. Such a nanostructure of IONT arrays embedded in a III-V semiconductor substrate could be expected to have potential applications, such as superior gas sensors. This work provides a novel approach for fabricating low-melting metal oxide semiconductor nanotubes.

Abstract
The chaotic synchronization in n-dimensional large map networks with local coupling and their size stabilities in the node number N-->infinity are studied analytically and numerically. The analytical results show that the chaotic synchronization is stable for N-->infinity in the presence of the external driving or global coupling. The numerical calculations show that, as the driving or global interaction strength increases from zero, the network states have the whole route: spatiotemporal chaotic state --> cluster chaotic synchronous state --> complete chaotic synchronous state --> spatiotemporal pattern --> spatiotemporal chaotic state.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the therapeutic mechanism of Tongyu No. I (TY-1) in improving prethrombotic state of senile diabetes mellitus. METHODS Sixty-two patients of diabetes mellitus with prethrombotic state and blood-stasis Syndrome were selected and divided randomly into two groups, 32 in the treated group and 30 in the control group. The two groups were treated by conventional therapy, combined with additional TY-1 (treated group) and aspirin (control group) respectively for 2 months. And the clinical effect as well as relevant criteria in both groups before and after treatment were observed. RESULTS In the treated group, treatment showed markedly effective in 14 cases, effective in 16 and ineffective in 2, the total effective rate being 93.8%. In the control group, the corresponding values were 6, 14, 10 and 66.7% respectively. Comparison of the total effective rate in the two groups showed significant difference (P < 0.01). After treatment, the treated group showed lowering in plasma TXB2 similar to that in the control group, while the decrease of GMP-140 and fasting blood glucose levels was significant as compared with before treatment (P < 0.01) and the difference was significant between the two groups (P < 0.05) after treatment. CONCLUSION TY-1 could improve the prethrombotic state and blood-stasis Syndrome in patients of diabetes mellitus, the main therapeutic mechanism might be correlated to the lowering of GMP-140 content.

Abstract
Mutation of the Arabidopsis thaliana tRNA (Trp)(CCA) anticodon or of the A73 discriminator base greatly diminishes in vitro aminoacylation with tryptophan, indicating the importance of these nucleotides for recognition by the plant tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase. Mutation of the tRNA (Trp)(CCA) anticodon to CUA so as to translate amber nonsense codons permits tRNA (Trp)(CCA) to be aminoacylated by A.thaliana lysyl-tRNA synthetase. Thus, translational suppression by tRNA (TRP)(CCA) observed in plant cells includes significant incorporation of lysine into protein.

Abstract
The nature of the iron-sulfur clusters in oxidized and reduced forms of Fe-only hydrogenases from Desulfovibrio vulgaris, Thermotoga maritima, and Clostridium pasteurianum has been investigated by resonance Raman spectroscopy. The results indicate the presence of ferredoxin-like [4Fe-4S]2+,+ and [2Fe-2S]2+,+ clusters in both T. maritima hydrogenase and C. pasteurianum hydrogenase I, but only [4Fe-4S]2+,+ clusters in D. vulgaris hydrogenase. This necessitates a reevaluation of the iron-sulfur cluster composition of C. pasteurianum hydrogenase I and indicates that the resonance Raman bands in the oxidized hydrogenase that were previously attributed to the hydrogen activating center [Macor, K. A., Czernuszewicz, R. S., Adams, M. W. W., & Spiro, T. G. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 9945-9947] arise from an indigenous [2Fe-2S]2+ cluster. No resonance Raman bands that could be uniquely attributed to the oxidized or reduced hydrogen activating center were observed. This suggests that the hydrogen activating center is a novel Fe center that is unrelated to any known type of Fe-S cluster.

Abstract
The ability of interleukin-3 (IL-3) to induce antimicrobial and tumoricidal activity was evaluated. Macrophages infected with two intracellular protozoa, Leishmania amazonensis or Trypanosoma cruzi, were treated with cytokines. IL-3 induced a dose-dependent enhancement of microbistasis against leishmanias, and the activity of IL-3 (100 ng/ml) was comparable to that of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) (1,000 U/ml). In addition, IL-3 in combination with either granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or macrophage CSF (M-CSF) or with IFN-gamma reduced infection and lowered the required dose. IL-3 similarly activated macrophages to inhibit intracellular replication of T. cruzi. Furthermore, IL-3 induced antibody-independent tumoricidal activity against melanoma cells that was dose dependent and comparable to that of lipopolysaccharide and GM-CSF. The mechanisms by which IL-3 induced antimicrobial activity may involve at least the augmentation of oxidative capacity. IL-3, at concentrations of 0.5 ng/ml or greater, led to a significantly increased oxidative burst which paralleled the inhibition of protozoan replication. The enhancement of oxidative capacity by IL-3 (5 ng/ml or higher) was comparable to that of IFN-gamma. The induction of tumoricidal activity was associated with the production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), which in this system may feed back to enhance the macrophage inhibition of leishmanias, as demonstrated by neutralization of IL-3 activation by anti-TNF-alpha antibody. Thus, peripheral blood macrophages remain responsive to IL-3, as demonstrated by enhanced antimicrobial and tumoricidal activity. IL-3 may have potential clinical applications because of these properties and its effect on myelopoiesis.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-4 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of leishmaniasis in a murine model. Experiments were done to examine the effect of IL-4 on cytokine activation of macrophages. Interferon (IFN)-gamma, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), and IL-3 activate macrophages to inhibit replication of leishmaniae. IL-4 abrogated in a dose- and time-dependent manner the induction of antileishmanial activity by these cytokines. The depression of oxidative burst capacity is one mechanism by which IL-4 inhibits macrophage activation. IL-4 diminished in a dose- and time-dependent manner the TNF alpha enhancement of oxidative capacity. Pretreatment with IL-4 for 48, 24, or 0 h, respectively, inhibited the generation of superoxide induced by TNF alpha by 90%, 60%, and 40%. Furthermore, IL-4 abrogated the enhancement of oxidative capacity by IFN-gamma, GM-CSF, and IL-3. These data suggest that IL-4 is a potent deactivator of macrophage antimicrobial functions and may contribute to the pathogenesis of visceral leishmaniasis.

Abstract
The different nutritional properties of several Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strains suggest that either the strains are misclassified or there is a high degree of phenotypic diversity within the genus Desulfovibrio. The results of partial 16S rRNA and 23S rRNA sequence determinations demonstrated that Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 27774 and "Desulfovibrio multispirans" are closely related to the type strain (strain Essex 6) and that strains ATCC 7757, Norway 4, and El Agheila Z are not. Therefore, these latter three strains of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans are apparently misclassified. A comparative analysis of nearly complete 16S rRNA sequences in which we used a least-squares analysis method for evolutionary distances, an unweighted pair group method, a signature analysis method, and maximum parsimony was undertaken to further investigate the phylogeny of Desulfovibrio species. The species analyzed were resolved into two branches with origins deep within the delta subdivision of the purple photosynthetic bacteria. One branch contained five deep lineages, which were represented by (i) Desulfovibrio salexigens and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans El Agheila Z; (ii) Desulfovibrio africanus; (iii) Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 27774, Desulfomonas pigra, and Desulfovibrio vulgaris; (iv) Desulfovibrio gigas; and (v) Desulfomicrobium baculatus (Desulfovibrio baculatus) and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Norway 4. A correlation between 16S rRNA sequence similarity and percentage of DNA relatedness showed that these five deep lineages are related at levels below the minimum genus level suggested by Johnson (in Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, vol. 1, 1984). We propose that this branch should be grouped into a single family, the Desulfovibrionaceae. The other branch includes other genera of sulfate-reducing bacteria (e.g., Desulfobacter and Desulfococcus) and contains Desulfovibrio sapovorans and Desulfovibrio baarsii as separate, distantly related lineages.

Abstract
The effect of acetylene on the activity of the three types of hydrogenase from the anaerobic sulfate reducing bacteria has been investigated. The (Fe) hydrogenase is resistant to inhibition by acetylene while the nickel-containing hydrogenases are inhibited by acetylene with the (NiFe) hydrogenase being 10-50 fold more sensitive than the (NiFeSe) hydrogenase. In addition the Ni(III) EPR signal (g approximately 2.3) of the "as isolated" (NiFe) hydrogenase was significantly decreased in intensity upon exposure to acetylene.

Abstract
The periplasmic hydrogenase containing equivalent amounts of nickel and selenium plus non-heme iron [NiFeSe) hydrogenase) has been purified from cells of the sulfate reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio baculatus (DSM 1748) grown on a lactate/sulfate medium containing natural Se isotopes and the nuclear isotope, 77Se. Both the 77Se-enriched and unenriched hydrogenases were shown to be free of other hydrogenases and characterized with regard to their Se contents. EPR studies of the reduced nickel signal generated by redox titrations of the enriched and unenriched (NiFeSe) hydrogenases demonstrated that the gx = 2.23 and gy = 2.17 resonances are appreciably broadened by the spin of the 77Se nucleus (I = 1/2). This observation demonstrates unambiguously that the unpaired electron is shared by the Ni and Se atoms and that Se serves as a ligand to the nickel redox center of the (NiFeSe) hydrogenase.

Abstract
The fate of human cartilage allografts and the mechanism of its kinetical development were studied histopathologically and immunohistologically. After transplantation, the grafts underwent necrosis, calcification and were partially invaded by osteoplastic tissue of the host and eventually replaced by bone tissue. Thus, the contour of the transplanted cartilage was kept partially by the living cartilage and the newly-formed osseous tissue. The grafts were surrounded initially by granular tissue and then by scar tissue, in which numerous T cells and a few macrophage infiltrates were noted. In T cells, T4+ lymphocytes predominated but T8+ cells accounted for a small number. B cells were not found within the infiltrates. Most of the infiltrating cells expressed 12 antigens, indicating that the majority of T cells were activated. It was concluded that T lymphocytes mediated cellular immunity played an important role. The chondrocytes of the cartilage did not express HLA I and II antigens before transplantation, but one month later, the living chondrocytes became HLA I and II antigens positive, and the antigen expression became stronger with the elapse of time; this might be induced by lymphokins, especially by interferon produced by the infiltrating lymphocytes. Such an expression of MHC antigens on chondrocytes might contribute to the further enhancement of immunorejection.

Abstract
The periplasmic hydrogenase of Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Hildenbourough NCIB 8303) belongs to the category of [Fe] hydrogenase which contains only iron-sulfur clusters as its prosthetic groups. Amino acid analyses were performed on the purified D. vulgaris hydrogenase. The amino acid composition obtained compared very well with the result derived from the nucleotide sequence of the structural gene (Voordouw, G., Brenner, S. (1985) Eur. J. Biochem. 148, 515-520). Detailed EPR reductive titration studies on the D. vulgaris hydrogenase were performed to characterize the metal centers in this hydrogenase. In addition to the three previously observed EPR signals (namely, the "isotropic" 2.02 signal, the rhombic 2.10 signal, and the complex signal of the reduced enzyme), a rhombic signal with resonances at the g-values of 2.06, 1.96, and 1.89 (the rhombic 2.06 signal) was detected when the samples were poised at potentials between 0 and -250 mV (with respect to normal hydrogen electrode). The midpoint redox potentials for each of the four EPR-active species were determined, and the characteristics of each EPR signal are described. Both the rhombic 2.10 and 2.06 signals exhibit spectral properties that are distinct from a ferredoxin-type [4Fe-4S] cluster and are proposed to originate from the same H2-binding center but in two different conformations. The complex signal of the reduced hydrogenase has been shown to represent two spin-spin interacting ferredoxin-type [4Fe-4S]1+ clusters (Grande, H. J., Dunham, W. R., Averill, B., Van Dijk, C., and Sands, R. H. (1983) Eur. J. Biochem. 136, 201-207). The titration data indicated a strong cooperative effect between these two clusters during their reduction. In an effort to accurately estimate the number of iron atoms/molecule of hydrogenase, plasma emission and chemical methods were used to determine the iron contents in the samples; and four different methods, including amino acid analysis, were used for protein determination. The resulting iron stoichiometries were found to be method-dependent and vary over a wide range (+/- 20%). The uncertainties involved in the determination of iron stoichiometry are discussed.

Abstract
The effect of exposure to carbon monoxide on the activity of the (Fe) hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris has been determined. Concentrations of carbon monoxide which completely inhibit hydrogenase activity and induce formation of the axial g = 2.06 EPR signal up to 0.8 spin/molecule do not cause irreversible inhibition of the (Fe) hydrogenase.

Abstract
A comparison of amino-terminal amino acid sequences from the large and small subunits of hydrogenases from Desulfovibrio reveals significant differences. These results, in conjunction with antibody analyses, clearly indicate that the iron, iron + nickel, and iron + nickel + selenium containing hydrogenases represent three distinct classes of hydrogenase in Desulfovibrio.

Abstract
Fumarate reductase was isolated and purified 100-fold to homogeneity from Desulfovibrio multispirans, a new species of sulfate-reducing bacteria. The enzyme contained 1 mol of non-covalently bound FAD and four subunits with Mr 45,000, 32,000, 30,000 and 27,000. EPR spectroscopy showed the existence of two iron-sulfur clusters. The absorption spectrum showed a broad region of high absorbance from 450 nm to 300 nm with a protein peak at 278 nm. The ratio of A278:A400 was 2.60. The specific activity was 110 mumoles H2/mg of protein. The Km for fumarate was 2.5 mM. The activation energy was 8.7 kcal/mol. Electron transport from H2 to fumarate in intact cells was inhibited by 2-heptyl-4-hydroxy-quinoline-N-oxide, a quinone inhibitor, indicating the participation of quinone (probably menaquinone) in fumarate reduction.

Abstract
A hydrogenase from a new species of sulfate reducing bacterium has been isolated and characterized. In contrast to other hydrogenases isolated from Desulfovibrio, this enzyme is found in the cytoplasmic fraction rather than in the periplasm. The specific activity of the enzyme, as measured in the hydrogen evolution assay, is twice as high as the specific activity of the hydrogenase from D. gigas. It also differentiates itself from the periplasmic Desulfovibrio hydrogenases by being more active in the hydrogen evolution rather than in the hydrogen uptake assay. The enzyme was shown to contain 0.9 atoms of nickel, 11 atoms of iron and 10 atoms of labile sulfide per mole of enzyme. It exhibits an unusually low intensity of the g = 2.31 nickel EPR signal in the isolated enzyme but shows a normal intensity for the g = 2.19 nickel EPR signal when reduced under hydrogen.
