ABSTRACT
Apolipoprotein A5 (Apo A5) is a novel member in apolipoprotein family, which is proven to be an important regulator in triglyceride metabolism, especially in adjusting the TG content in plasma. Apo A5 gene polymorphisms affect triglyceride metabolism and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. The research focuses on -1131T>C, c.56C>G, and c.553G>T.

ABSTRACT
Cognitive estimation is a process in which correct answers can be reasonably estimated by relevant information,instead of be obtained in a direct manner.The cause of cognitive estimation disorder is relevant to executive function and frontal lobe damage.The assessment of cognitive estimation disorder is mainly based on texts such as CET,BCET and TKS,and clinical symptoms are also taken into consideration in this assessment.Future studies include several aspects.Firstly,more efforts should focus on improving diagnostic standard and assessment tools and expanding the related studies.Secondly,it is necessary to focus on the specific brain areas of clinical patients with cognitive estimation disorder,and to strengthen the clinical rehabilitation of cognitive functions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between the changes of ten elemental contents in serum and schizophrenia.Methods Calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), aluminum (Al), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn) in serum in the of schizophrenic patients and normal subjects are measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer, compared the content of elements between the schizophrenia and normal.Results There were significant differences ( P<0.05) in other elements between two groups except lead.The contents of Ca,Fe,Mg,Zn,As,Se,Cu in the patients with schizophrenia were significantly lower than those in control, while Al, Mn were significantly higher than those in control.Most of elements in serum between case and control groups were correlated (P<0.05).Some of element ratios which have physiological significance were significant statistically (P<0.05), such as: Ca/Mg, Ca/Fe and so on.Conclusion These findings suggest that the patients with schizophrenia might have an abnormal elemental metabolism.Given the relationship among the elements, the element ratios are more valuable in reflecting the relationship between schizophrenia and elements.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To observe the effect of core stability training on motor function, balance and activities for children with cerebral palsy. Methods 100 children with cerebral palsy were divided into control group (n=50) and treatment group (n=50). The control group accepted routine physical therapy, occupational therapy, acupuncture, sensory integration training and conductive education; while the treatment group accepted core stability training in addition, 3 hours a day for 12 weeks. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Comprehensive Functional Assessment for Disabled Children (CFA-DC) before and after treatment. Results The scores of GMFM-88, BBS and CFA-DC improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Core stability training can further promote the recovery of motor, balance and activities in children with cerebral palsy.

ABSTRACT
Byproducts in lignocellulose hydrolysates, namely sodium formate (1 to 5 g/L), sodium acetic (2.5 to 8.0 g/L), furfural (0.2-2 g/L), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF, 1 to 1.0 g/L) or vanillin (0.5 to 2 g/L) were used to evaluate their effects on ethanol fermentation by Issatchenkia orientalis HN-1 using single factor test and the response surface central composite experiment. Results showed that most of the byproducts had no obvious inhibition on the production of ethanol, except for the addition of 2 g/L vanillin or 1 g/L of 5-HMF, which reduced the ethanol production by 20.38% and 11.2%, respectively. However, high concentration of some byproducts in lignocellulose hydrolysates, such as sodium formate (1 to 5 g/L), sodium acetic (2.5 to 8.0 g/L), furfural (0.2 to 2 g/L) and vanillin (0.5 to 2 g/L) inhibited the growth of I. orientalis HN-1 significantly. Compared with the control, the dry cell weight of I. orientalis HN-1 decreased by 25.04% to 37.02%, 28.83% to 43.82%, 20.06% to 37.60% and 26.39% to 52.64%, respectively, when the above components were added into the fermentation broth and the fermentation lasted for 36 h. No significant interaction effect of the various inhibitors (sodium formate, sodium acetic, furfural and vanillin) except for vanillin single factor on the ethanol production was observed based on the central composite experiments. The concentrations of byproducts in most lignocellulose hydrolysates were below the initial inhibition concentration on ethanol production by Issatchenkia orientalis HN-1, which indicated that Issatchenkia orientalis HN-1 can be used for ethanol production from lignocellulose hydrolysates.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study attempts to test the total amount of 41 inorganic elements in traditional Chinese medicine materials (TCMM), to analyze to surpass the set standard of 5 toxic heavy metal elements and to explore possible method of modification.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>By using microwave as digestion tool, ICP-MS and ICP-AES as detective instrument, 41 elements in 466 samples are tested. While the amount of elements Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, P, S, Sr are determined by ICP-AES, the amount of the rest 32 elements are determined by ICP-MS. SPSS 16.0 is used as the statistical tool for data analysis.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Testing of reference material Astragalus showed that the measurements of each element are within the reference range, and except for element I, RSD of determination for each element is less than 10%, thus the accuracy and precision of the study method is confirmed. Using above mentioned instruments and methods, general information of elements in 466 TCMM are obtained.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The concentrations of each elements in TCMM varied a lot and are different among each TCMM. The over standard rate of 5 heavy metal elements are lower than previous results, however, the over standard rate is still descending in the order of Cd > Cu > Pb > As > Hg. The content of heavy metal elements in TCMM varies among different areas, especially, over standard of heavy metals are not detected in locality as Gansu, Qinghai, Shanxi, Xinjiang and Hainan provinces.</p>

Objective To establish a method for the determination of 14 kinds of lanthanide (La) series elements in human feces at the same time by ICP-MS.Methods In January 2009,human feces were collected for three consecutive days from 30 subjects in Tianjin area,the fecal samples for the three-day period were weighed and homogenized;then dried;grinded and ashed,the samples were digested by HNO3 before determination.The solution was directly analyzed by ICP-MS to determine the concentrations of the 14 kinds of La series elements in human faces with rhenium (Re) internal standard calibration.Results The linear ranges were 0-10 ?g/L with a correlation coefficient for each element of more than 0.999.The detection limits of 139La,140Ce,141Pr,143Nd,147Sm,151Eu,158Gd,159Tb,163Dy,165Ho,166Er,169Tm,174Yb and 175Lu in human feces were 0.48,0.49,0.47,1.6,1.9,0.46,0.79,0.18,0.65,0.39,0.38,0.17,0.09 and 0.09 ng/L respectively.The recoveries of this method were 93.42%-108.21%,and RSDs were 2.91%-9.20%.The analytical values of the certified reference material of human hair GBW 09101a by this method showed closed agreement with the reference values.Conclusion This method has relatively higher sensitivity and less interference,and is applicable to the rapid determination of 14 kinds of La series elements in human faces at the same time.
