Abstract
It remains unclear how symbiotic microbes impact the growth of peanuts when they are exposed to the pollutants cadmium (Cd) and microplastics (MPs) simultaneously. This study aimed to investigate the effects of endophytic bacteria Bacillus velezens SC60 and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis on peanut growth and rhizosphere microbial communities in the presence of Cd at 40 (Cd40) or 80 (Cd80) mg kg-1 combined without MP or the presence of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and poly butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT). This study assessed soil indicators, plant parameters, and Cd accumulation indicators. Results showed that the application of R. irregularis and B. velezens significantly enhanced soil organic carbon and increased Cd content under the conditions of Cd80 and MPs co-pollution. R. irregularis and B. velezens treatment increased peanut absorption and the enrichment coefficient for Cd, with predominate concentrations localized in the peanut roots, especially under combined pollution by Cd and MPs. Under treatments with Cd40 and Cd80 combined with PBAT pollution, soil microbes Proteobacteria exhibited a higher relative abundance, while Actinobacteria showed a higher relative abundance under treatments with Cd40 and Cd80 combined with LDPE pollution. In conclusion, under the combined pollution conditions of MPs and Cd, the co-treatment of R. irregularis and B. velezens effectively immobilized Cd in peanut roots, impeding its translocation to the shoot.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) are overexpressed in gastric cancer cells, the dual inhibitors of which exhibit potential against metastasis and invasion with fewer side effects. To discover inhibitors targeting COX-2 and 5-LOX, we conducted ultrafiltration and enrichment calculation to screen candidates in quaternary alkaloids (QAs) from Zanthoxylum simulans through LC and LC-Q-TOF. For intensive peaks, peaks 19 (berberine) and 21 (chelerythrine) were observed as the most potent dual candidates and showed selective affinity to 5-LOX over COX-2. Peak 19 showed an enrichment at 4.36 for COX-2 and 22.81 for 5-LOX, while peak 21 showed an enrichment at 7.81 for COX-2 and 24.49 for 5-LOX. Molecular docking results revealed chelerythrine as a better dual inhibitor, showing time- and dose-dependent anti-proliferation against AGS cells. Bio-informatics strategies, such as Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), suggested that hormone pathways in gastric cancer cells might be mediated by chelerythrine. Further reviews and summaries helped outline the mechanisms by which COX-2/5-LOX inhibitors might promote apoptosis in gastric cancer cells via estrogen, thyroid, and oxytocin signaling pathways. Chelerythrine was also added to gastric cancer cells to verify the regulation of these three signaling pathways. As a result, significant calling back of thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), thyroid hormone α3 (TRα3), and thyroid hormone receptor β1 (TRβ1) and suppressing estrogen receptor α36 (ER-α36)-Src could benefit the anti-proliferation of chelerythrine. However, it was disappointing that regulation of estrogen receptor α66 (ER-α66), estrogen receptor β (ER-β), and oxytocin receptor (OTR) contributed inversely negative effects on anti-gastric cancer cells. At present, the integrative study not only revealed chelerythrine as the most potent dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibitor from QAs but also generally highlighted that comprehensive regulation of the estrogen, thyroid, and oxytocin pathway should be noted once gastric cancer cells were treated with inflammatory inhibitors.

Abstract
Objective: To screen the pivotal genes involved in the occurrence and development of HBV-associated HCC. Additionally, perform validation and biological function analysis to evaluate changes in the expression of pivotal genes and their prognostic value in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: The GSE121248 gene expression profile data of HBV-HCC patients were searched and downloaded from the GEO database. The R language was used to compare the differences in gene expression between hepatocellular carcinoma and paracancerous tissues. KEGG and GO function enrichment analyses were performed on the differential genes. PPI plots and pivotal gene screening were carried out through online tools like STRING and Cytoscape software. 369 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and 160 healthy controls in TCGA and GTEx were used as validation cohorts to verify the expression levels of the pivotal genes. A Kaplan-Meier plot was drawn to evaluate the prognostic value of the pivotal gene. Results: A total of 120 differentially expressed genes were screened, of which 89 were up-regulated and 31 were down-regulated. Differential genes were mainly enriched in the metabolic pathways related to retinol metabolism, cytochrome P450 metabolism, and the p53 signaling pathway. The top 10 differential genes were selected as pivotal genes by the Cytoscape plug-in cytoHubba. There were significant differences in the expression levels of four types of CCNB1, CDK1, RRM2, and TOP2A genes in the validation cohort. All four types of genes were up-regulated. Survival analysis showed that patients with elevated expression levels of four genes had a poorer prognosis, with statistical differences in results. Conclusion: Four types of genes, CCNB1, CDK1, RRM2, and TOP2A, have high expression levels in patients with HBV-HCC and are correlated to shorter survival times, making them a potential target for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (anti-MDA5)-positive dermatomyositis associated interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD). Methods: The patients with MDA5+DM-ILD who were admitted to Department of Respiratory Medicine, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2017 to March 2021 were enrolled. The clinical data and survival information were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into survival group or death group, and rapid progressive ILD (RP-ILD) group or non-rapid progressive ILD group, according to their survival status and clinical progression. Results: A total of 105 patients with anti-MDA5+DM-ILD (median age of onset 54 years) were enrolled, 58% being female (61 cases). The main sub-type of dermatomyositis was amyopathic dermatomyositis (n=74, 70%), followed by dermatomyositis (n=31, 30%). The main extrapulmonary manifestations were skin lesions (n=60, 57.1%), muscle manifestations(n=20, 19%) and arthralgia/arthritis (n=20, 19%). 15.4% of the patients had positive ANA (antibody titer≥1∶320), and 61.9% of the patients had anti-RO-52 kDa antibody. A total of 66 patients (62.8%) developed RP-ILD, and 58 patients (56.3%) died. Lower oxygenation index (OR=0.974, 95%CI:0.954-0.994, P=0.012) and no joint pain (OR=0.032, 95%CI: 0.002-0.663 P=0.026) were independent risk factors for RP-ILD. Cox regression analysis showed that RP-ILD (HR=3.194, 95%CI:1.025-9.954, P=0.045), older than 53 years (HR=3.450, 95%CI: 1.388-8.577, P=0.008), ferritin level more than 1 330.5 ng/ml (HR=3.032, 95%CI 1.208-7.610, P=0.018) and C-reactive protein (CRP) above 16.95 mg/L (HR=2.794, 95%CI:1.102-7.084, P=0.030) were independent predictors of mortality. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of patients with anti-MDA5+DM-ILD presenting to the respiratory department were heterogeneous, with most being amyopathic dermatomyositis, and both the incidence of RP-ILD and the risk of death were high. Even in the absence of associated rash, joint, or muscle manifestations, anti-MDA5 antibody screening should be considered in patients with rapidly progressive ILD who were negative on baseline autoantibody screening but positive for anti-RO52kDa antibody.

Abstract
Janus kinases (JAKs) play a key role in subtly regulating proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation of cancer cells, and their inhibitors are actively sought as new drug leads. By developing JAKs based affinity ultrafiltration method coupled with LC/Q-TOF-MS in order to discover selective JAKs inhibitors from total quaternary alkaloids (QAs) from Zanthoxylum simulans, peak 19 (Berberine) and peak 21 (Chelerythrine) were revealed to exhibit notable selectivity on JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3 over Tyk2. In addition, Chelerythrine showed stronger inhibitory activity than the positive control (Cerdulatinib) on gastric cancer cells (AGS), while Berberine, with weaker inhibition. Chelerythrine and Berberine also showed obvious inhibition on human hepatocyte cells (LO2). Furthermore, molecular docking analysis revealed their discrepancies due to different interaction bonds and characteristic residues. Quaternary N was proposed as the functional group to enhance the selectivity of JAK1, and some specific moieties towards Asp1021, Leu855, and Leu828 were suggested to increase the selectivity for JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3, respectively. As the most potential inhibitor of JAKs from QAs, Chelerythrine exhibited distinct suppression of adhesion, migration, invasion, and stimulating apoptosis of AGS cells, which was consistent with the significant down-regulation of estrogen receptors (ER-α36, ER-α66, and ER-β1) and Src expression. In conclusion, an efficient screening approach was developed to identify Berberine and Chelerythrine as potential selective candidates from Zanthoxylum simulans with significant anti-proliferative activity against gastric carcinoma. As we know, it was the first report to propose an estrogen signal pathway for Chelerythrine in anti-gastric cancer cells (AGS) study. The results supported Chelerythrine inhibitory effects on AGS by not only direct inhibiting JAKs but also down-regulating the estrogen pathway.

Abstract
The prosperity and development of tannery industry have brought about rapid economic growth. However, the tannery landfill without anti-seepage measures in the early stage has generated masses of environmental hazards owing to the lack of awareness in environmental protection. Therefore, it is imperative to pay much attention to the understanding of environmental hazards from tannery waste. In this study, solid samples and groundwater samples were collected from a tannery landfill to study the effect of the characteristic pollutants produced by tanning on chromium distribution with other coexisting substances. The results showed that significant correlations were demonstrated between multiple coexisting substances (total organic carbon, total petroleum hydrocarbons, total nitrogen, Cr, F, Ca, Cu and Pb), indicating the possible same source or they coming from the same tannery production stage. The weights of positive effects and negative effects of coexisting substances on total Cr distribution in the profile decreased in the order: total nitrogen > Cu > Ca > Pb > total organic carbon > F > SO42-> Cd, and Ni > Cl > Hg, respectively. Moreover, the simulation of Visual MINTEQ showed that the cations were mainly bound to Cr as CrO42-, while the anions were bound to Cr3+. This study provided a new perspective on the selection of remediation strategies for Cr-contaminated sites to avoid secondary environmental pollution caused by the release of coexisting heavy metals.

Abstract
The tannery industry is an integral part of economic development in many developing countries, and the environmental pollution caused by the tannery industry cannot be ignored. In this study, soil and groundwater samples at different depths were collected from an abandoned tannery to investigate the temporal and spatial distribution of characteristic pollutants produced by tanning. The concentrations of Cr, Cl, F and NH4+-N in the soil from the sludge temporary storage area were higher than those from the liming and unhairing workshop, chrome tanning workshop, wastewater outlet, and around wastewater pond. The concentration of Cr(VI) in all sampling sites was below the detection limit. The main species of Cr in the groundwater were Cr(NH3)6Cl2+ and CrO42- based on the simulation of Visual MINTEQ. The saturation index was negative and changed with time indicating that Cr existed in the dissolved phase. The proportion of Cr(VI) to total Cr was negatively correlated with the saturation index in village 1 and village 3. The simulation results from Visual MODFLOW and MT3DMS showed that the migration of Cr, NH4+-N, Cl- and F- mainly occurred in the Quaternary system. The coverage of the pollution plume of pollutants in villages 1 and 3 was as follows: Cr > NH4+-N > Cl- > F-. Two decay rate calculation methods of pollutants with migration time and distance were put forward to provide a basis for the actual investigation of the pollution migration scope and time determination.

Abstract
Summary Two patients both complained of one year history of hoarseness and the clinical manifestations and imageology among 2 patients were lack of specificity. The pathological tissue was successfully eradicated by surgical removal. Histopathology established laryngeal malignant melanoma as the diagnosis. The clinical manifestations and imageology were lack specificity between laryngeal malignant melanoma, laryngeal cancer and other malignant tumor, the diagnosis is difficult, often confirmed by postoperative pathology, the treatment is often by surgery and have a poor prognosis.

Abstract
A bacterium, designated strain CM134L-2T, was isolated from a chitin-enriched wheat leaf microbiome in Chengdu, Sichuan province, China. It was Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, motile, rod-shaped, and bright yellow in colour. Strain CM134L-2T grew at 4-35 °C, at pH 6.0-9.0 and could use chitin as the only carbon resource. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CM134L-2T was most closely related to Pedobacter nanyangensis Q-4T (97.7 %) and Pedobacter zeaxanthinifaciens TDMA-5T (97.4 %). Digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain CM134L-2T with these two type strains were 26.8 and 20.8 %, respectively, and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values were 83.2 and 76.2 %; these values are lower than the proposed and generally accepted species boundaries of 70 % for dDDH and 95-96 % for ANI, which suggests strain CM134L-2T represents a novel species. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain CM134L-2T was 39.3 mol%, menaquinone-7 was the major respiratory quinone, phosphatidylethanolamine was the major polar lipid and the major components of the cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, and C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c (summed feature 3); these features supported the affiliation of strain CM134L-2T to the genus Pedobacter. Overall, strain CM134L-2T belongs to the genus Pedobacter, but can be classified as a novel species, for which the name Pedobacter chitinilyticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CM134L-2T (=CGMCC 1.16520T=KCTC 62643T).

Abstract
Two psychrotolerant facultative anaerobes, strains B7-2T and B5T, were isolated from the Zoige Wetland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains B7-2T and B5T shared high similarity (>99 %) with those of the type strains of the genus Trichococcus, while their digital DNA-DNA hybridization values with each other (49 %) and with the reference type strains (48-23 %) were lower than 70 %, which suggest that they represent two novel species of the genus Trichococcus. Cells of strains B7-2T and B5T were immotile cocci, grew in the temperature range of 4-37 °C (optimum 25 °C) and were alkaliphilic with optimum growth at pH 9.0. The major components of the cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and C18 : 0 for strain B7-2T, and C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c and C18 : 0 for strain B5T. The genomic DNA G+C contents were 46.0 and 46.7 mol% for strains B7-2T and B5T, respectively. Based on physiological and genomic characteristics, it is suggested that strains B7-2T and B5T represent two novel species within the genus Trichococcus, for which the names Trichococcus paludicola sp. nov. and Trichococcus alkaliphilus sp. nov. are proposed. The type strains are B7-2T (=DSM 104691T=KCTC 33886T) and B5T (=DSM 104692T=KCTC 33885T), respectively.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the outcome of trial of labor after cesarean section(TOLAC). Methods: Totally 614 TOLAC were conducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from July 2013 to June 2016. Among them, 586 cases of singleton pregnancy with one prior cesarean section(gestational age≥28 weeks)were studied retrospectively. The maternal and neonatal outcomes among the vaginal birth after cesarean(VBAC)group(481 cases), failed TOLAC group(105 cases)and the elective repeat cesarean section(ERCS)group(1 145 cases)were compared. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine the risk factors of admission to neonatal intensive care unit(NICU). Results: (1)The TOLAC rate was 29.62%(614/2 073)from July 2013 to June 2016, and the VBAC rate was 82.6%(507/614). The cesarean section rate was reduced by VBAC by 3.147%(507/16 112).(2)The comparison of adverse maternal outcomes: in the VBAC group, the postpartum hemorrhage volume was(431±299)ml, the rate of postpartum fever was 6.4%(31/481), the birth weight of the neonates was(3 085± 561)g, and the rate of large for gestational age was 2.9%(14/481). All were significantly lower than those in the failed TOLAC group and the ERCS group(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in other adverse maternal outcomes[the uterine rupture rate(0.2% ,1/481), the bladder injury rate(0), the proportion of postpartum hemorrhage volume≥1 500 ml(1.0%, 5/481), the blood transfusion rate(3.7%, 18/481)]and adverse perinatal outcomes[the rate of neonatal 5-minute Apgar score<7(0.4%, 21/481), the rate of umbilical arterial pH<7.0(0.6% , 3/481), the rate of the NICU admission and the perinatal mortality rate(12.3%, 59/481)]among the 3 groups(P>0.05). Multiple logistic regression showed no association between VBAC and admission to the NICU(OR=0.84, 95%CI: 0.58-1.21). The isolated risk factors for admission to the NICU were preterm birth(OR=16.71, 95% CI: 11.44-24.40), hypertensive disorder complicating pregnamcy(OR=3.89, 95% CI: 2.39-6.35), meconium stained amniotic fluid(OR=2.48, 95% CI: 1.62-3.80), small for gestational age(OR=2.00, 95% CI: 1.19-3.36)and diabetes mellitus(OR=1.69, 95% CI: 1.14-2.50). Conclusions: VBAC reduces cesarean section rate, with good outcomes in both mother and neonate. It is a safe and feasible way of labor in women with only one cesarean section history.

Abstract
Crude Amaryllidaceae alkaloids (AAs) extracted from Lycoris radiata are reported to exhibit significant anti-cancer activity. However, the specific alkaloids responsible for the pharmacodynamic activity and their targets still remain elusive. In this context, we strived to combine affinity ultrafiltration with topoisomerase I (Top I) as a target enzyme aiming to fish out specific bioactive AAs from Lycoris radiata. 11 AAs from Lycoris radiata were thus screened out, among which hippeastrine (peak 5) with the highest Enrichment factor (EF) against Top I exhibited good dose-dependent inhibition with IC50 at 7.25 ± 0.20 μg/mL comparable to camptothecin (positive control) at 6.72 ± 0.23 μg/mL. The molecular docking simulation further indicated the inhibitory mechanism between Top I and hippeastrine. The in vitro antiproliferation assays finally revealed that hippeastrine strongly inhibited the proliferation of HT-29 and Hep G2 cells in an intuitive dose-dependent manner with the IC50 values at 3.98 ± 0.29 μg/mL and 11.85 ± 0.20 μg/mL, respectively, and also induced significant cellular morphological changes, which further validated our screening method and the potent antineoplastic effects. Collectively, these results suggested that hippeastrine could be a very promising anticancer candidate for the therapy of cancer in the near future.

Abstract
A bacterial isolate (SCU-B244T) was obtained in China from crickets (Teleogryllus occipitalis) living in cropland deserted for approximately 10 years. The isolated bacteria were Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase-negative rods. A preliminary analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the strain belongs to either the genus Erwinia or Pantoea. Analysis of multilocus sequence typing based on concatenated partial atpD, gyrB and infB gene sequences and physiological and biochemical characteristics indicated that the strain belonged to the genus Erwinia, as member of a new species as it was distinct from other known Erwinia species. Further analysis of the 16S rRNA gene showed SCU-B244T to have 94.71% identity to the closest species of that genus, Erwinia oleae (DSM 23398T), which is below the threshold of 97% used to discriminate bacterial species. DNA-DNA hybridization results (5.78±2.52%) between SCU-B244T and Erwinia oleae (DSM 23398T) confirmed that SCU-B244T and Erwinia oleae (DSM 23398T) represent different species combined with average nucleotide identity values which range from 72.42% to 74.41. The DNA G+C content of SCU-B244T was 55.32 mol%, which also differs from that of Erwinia oleae (54.7 to 54.9 mol%). The polyphasic taxonomic approach used here confirmed that the strain belongs to the Erwinia group and represents a novel species. The name Erwinia teleogrylli sp. nov. is proposed for this novel taxon, for which the type strain is SCU-B244T (= CGMCC 1.12772T = DSM 28222T = KCTC 42022T).

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between upper distribution levels of glucose values in the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and recommended diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and adverse pregnancy outcomes. SUBJECTS/METHODS The distribution of the OGTT 2-h values of 13,501 pregnant women, which were below the World Health Organization (WHO) threshold for overt diabetes mellitus (DM), and managed in one teaching hospital in China, was reviewed and related to maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes. RESULTS For the entire group, the 90th and 95th percentile values of the OGTT 2-h glucose level, respectively, were close to the diagnostic cutoff values of the WHO and International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria. For adverse maternal outcomes, glucose level above the 90th percentile value was associated with increased hypertensive disorders, whereas no difference was seen with cutoff using the 95th percentile value. For perinatal outcomes, the 90th percentile was associated with increased neonatal intensive care unit admission and hypoglycemia, whereas the 95th percentile showed in addition association with phototherapy for jaundice and 5th-minute Apgar score <7. Although no differences in the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes were found using the different cutoffs, the >95th percentile cutoff value would have missed out 33.3-56.7% of the cases of adverse outcomes that would otherwise have been attributed to GDM. CONCLUSIONS Further studies are warranted to clarify which diagnostic criterion is most appropriate universally to identify adverse pregnancy outcomes attributed to GDM, and which could be mitigated with treatment specific for GDM.

Abstract
An investigation was conducted on the phytoplankton' s community composition, abundance, and their relations with environmental factors in Beixi of Jiulongjiang River, Fujian Province in February (dry season), May (wet season), and October (normal season), 2011. A total of 107 phytoplankton species were identified, belonging to 64 genera and 7 phyla. The dominant species changed with seasons. Campylomonas marssoni and Cyclotella meneghiniana dominated in dry season, Scenedesmus quadricauda and Crucigenia tetrapedia dominated in wet season, and Merismopedia tenuissima dominated in normal season. The phytoplankton's abundance was the highest in dry season (averaged 154.77 x 10(4) cells x L(-1)), followed by in normal season (76.40 x 10(4) cells x L(-1)), and in wet season (45.40 x 10(4) cells x L(-1)). The abundance in dry and normal seasons was significantly positively correlated with water ammonium nitrogen concentration (P<0.05) , while that in wet season was significantly positively correlated with water temperature (P<0.01). Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) showed that water temperature was the most important factor affecting the phytoplankton's community structure, and dissolved phosphorous concentration also played important role for the community structure. The CCA ordination plots could well display the phytoplankton' s community structure and its relationships with environmental factors.

Abstract
A 3-year pot experiment with 8-year continuously cropped greenhouse cucumber soil was conducted to study the effects of different cultivation systems on the soil quality, soil nematode quantity, and crop yields. The third year' s data were taken into analysis. Comparing with traditional cultivation system (two seasons planting cucumber with fallowing in summer) , planting leafy vegetable and garlic in summer increased the yields of the two crops and the soil microbial biomass carbon content, total microbial population, and sucrase activity, decreased the amounts of soil nematode and root-knot nematode, and maintained a relative high Shannon-Weaver index. Planting crown daisy, garlic, and spinach in summer increased soil sucrase activity by 8.9%, 89.5%, and 36.9%, and the planting of crown daisy and garlic also increased the Shannon-Weaver index by 7.7% and 9.4%, respectively. All the results suggested that catching crop and rotation had definite restoration effects on the soil quality under continuously cropping of cucumber, and the effects of planting crown daisy and garlic were more significant.

Abstract
Nocardia, Rhodococcus and Streptomyces, all members of the actinomycetes family, are Gram-positive eubacteria with high G+C content and able to form mycelium. We report here a newly identified plasmid pXT107 of Nocardia sp. 107, one of the smallest circular plasmids found in Nocardia. The complete nucleotide sequence of pXT107 consisted of 4335 bp with 65% G+C content, and encoded one replication extragenic palindromic (Rep) and six hypothetical proteins. The Rep, double-strand origin and single-strand origin of pXT107 resembled those of typical rolling-circle-replication plasmids, such as pNI100 of Nocardia, pRE8424 of Rhodococcus and pIJ101 of Streptomyces. The Escherichia coli-Nocardia shuttle plasmid pHAQ22, containing the rep gene of pXT107, is able to propagate in Nocardia but not in Streptomyces.

Abstract
A gene replacement/disruption system of Amycolatopsis mediterranei U32 was developed based on the established electroporation conditions as well as appropriate selective markers. Through two-step selection, ahbas gene in U32 was replaced by a promoterless alpha-amylase gene constructed on the plasmid pDK110 of E. coli. The first single-crossover and the second double-crossover frequencies were approximately 0.5%-0.7% and 2%, respectively. Denaturation of the plasmid pDK110 increased the integration frequency about 7-10 folds, while electric shock treatment of the single-crossover recombinants increased the frequency of second crossover recombination about 5 folds. Employing denatured DNA fragments containing an apramycin-resistance gene flanked with regions of the respective genes, One-step disruption of rifO and amrA genes of U32 was also achieved with an efficiency of 30-50 transformants per microgram of DNA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of microinvasive Nd:YAG laser therapy in human glottic Tis and T1 carcinomas, as well as its effect on the cellular immune function of the tumor-bearing hosts. STUDY DESIGN We treated 34 patients with microinvasive Nd:YAG laser therapy and evaluated its effect on the cellular immune function of the host. METHODS Thirty-four patients with glottic Tis or T1 squamous cell carcinoma were treated with fiberoptic laryngoscopic Nd:YAG laser surgery. Both before and after therapy, serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (SIL-2R) and interleukin-2 (IL-2), as well as natural killer (NK) cell activity, were determined by means of double-antibody sandwich technique, tritiated thymidine-deoxyribonucleoside incorporation, and iodine 125-uridine-deoxyribonucleoside release technique, respectively. RESULTS All 34 patients tolerated the procedure well. A 3- to 7-year follow-up in a subgroup of 27 patients resulted in an estimated cure rate of 85.2% (23 of 27 patients). In all 27 patients with a regular follow-up, a subjective improvement of phonation was noted after therapy to various degrees. In 74% (20 of 27 patients), voice and speech subjectively recovered to almost normal levels. The post-therapy serum levels of SIL-2R were significantly declined (P <.001), whereas those of IL-2 and the NK activity were significantly elevated (P <.001) as compared with those detected before therapy. CONCLUSIONS Therapy with fiberoptic laryngoscopic Nd:YAG laser surgery is simple, safe, effective and only minimally invasive for patients with glottic Tis or T1 carcinoma. At the same time, it has an immunoenhancing effect on its host.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To define the expression levels of MDM2 gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its relationship with p53 protein expression and EB virus latent infection. METHOD MDM2 gene expression at mRNA and protein levels, p53 protein and EB virus DNA were detected by nonradioactive in situ hybridization (ISH), immunohistochemistry(IHC) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) separately in 46 cases of NPC tissues and 12 cases of chronic inflammation of nasopharyngeal epithelium (CINE). RESULT Fourteen cases of NPC showed MDM2 mRNA and protein overexpression, 38 cases were p53 protein positive, and 43 cases were EBV-DNA positive. Neither MDM2 nor p53 protein was expressed in any case of CINE. MDM2 expression was significantly related to p53 protein expression (P < 0.05), but not to EB virus latent infection in NPC. CONCLUSION MDM2 gene may play an important role in the pathogenesis of NPC through interacting with p53 protein.

Abstract
MDM2 gene amplification and overexpression were detected by DNA dot blot analysis and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 32 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), 10 cases of chronic inflammation of nasopharyngeal epithelium(CINE) and NPC cell line HONE1. One case of NPC showed MDM2 gene amplification, NPC cell line HONE1 and ten cases of NPC showed MDM2 mRNA overexpression. No MDM2 gene amplification and overexpression were found in CINE. MDM2 mRNA overexpression was significantly related to cervical lymph node metastasis, but not to T stage of NPC. The results indicate that MDM2 gene may play an important role in the pathogenesis and the process of metastasis of NPC.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the clinical value of 99Tcm-MIBI single photon emission tomography (SPET) and electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) in the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) in different age groups. 99Tcm-MIBI SPET (stress-rest), EBCT and coronary angiography studies were performed in 64 consecutive patients with suspected CAD. The patients were classified into two groups: Group A = 40 patients > 45 years of age and Group B = 24 patients < or = 45 years of age. There were 31 and 14 patients with coronary stenosis > or = 50% as determined by coronary angiography in Groups A and B, respectively. All patients (30 cases) with abnormal 99Tcm-MIBI myocardial SPET and coronary calcification detected by EBCT had significant coronary artery disease, and 93.3% of the patients with normal 99Tcm-MIBI SPET and normal EBCT had normal coronary angiography or < 50% lumen narrowing of the coronary arteries. In Group B, the sensitivity of SPET for detecting CAD was significantly higher than that of EBCT (92.9 vs 42.9%, P < 0.01); the specificity of SPET was comparable to that of EBCT. In Group A, there was no significant difference between SPET and EBCT in terms of sensitivity (93.6 vs 90.3%) or specificity (88.9 vs 55.6%). However, in the detection of individual coronary artery disease, the specificity of SPET was significantly higher than that of EBCT in Group A (94.1 vs 66.7%, P < 0.001). The sensitivity of SPET was again significantly higher than that of EBCT (85.7 vs 38.1%, P < 0.005) in Group B. The accuracy of SPET was higher than that of EBCT in both groups (82.5 vs 67.5%, P < 0.01 in Group A; 93.1 vs 76.4%, P < 0.01 in Group B, respectively). We conclude that 99Tcm-MIBI myocardial perfusion SPET has a higher sensitivity than EBCT in the detection of CAD in patients < or = 45 years old and a higher specificity in patients > 45 years of age. A combination of SPET and EBCT may assess CAD more accurately.

Abstract
We determined pre- and post-photodynamic therapy (PDT) serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (SIL-2R) and interleukin-2 (IL-2), as well as activity of natural killer (NK) cells, among 24 patients with either persistent or recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), using a double-antibody sandwich technique, tritiated thymidine-deoxyribonucleoside incorporation, and iodine 125-uridine-deoxyribonucleoside release techniques, respectively. The results showed that the post-PDT serum level of SIL-2R had significantly declined (p < .0005), while that of IL-2 and the NK cell activity had significantly increased (p < .0005), compared with pre-PDT values, suggesting an immunoenhancing effect of PDT on NPC patients.
