云南基诺族及汉族特发性全面强直-阵挛性癫(癎)与CLCN2基因的相关性

目的 研究氯离子通道CLC-2基因是否与中国云南地区基诺族及汉族特发性全面强直-阵挛性癫(癎)(IGTCS)相关.方法 以14例云南西双版纳傣族自治州景洪市基诺乡基诺族IGTCS患者及其16名未发病亲属、67例云南籍汉族IGTCS患者及57名云南籍汉族健康体检者为对照,对常染色体3q26上CLCN2基因的内含子2及外显子5、19(内含子18)进行研究,采用PCR及直接基因测序技术,应用病例-对照研究法对CLCN2基因与云南基诺族及汉族IGTCS进行相关性分析.结果 CLCN2基因的内含子2及外显子5、19在病例组和对照组中均没有发现已报道的易患突变,但我们在对外显子19的序列测定过程中发现了其上游内含子18的146位上存在1个单核苷酸多态性位点:146T→C.该位点的3种基因型(TT、TC、CC)在汉族病例组(9、3、29例)和汉族对照组(22、9、26例)之间的分布差异有统计学意义(x2=16.079,P＜0.05);在基诺族组(基诺族病例组+基诺族亲属组,6、12、12例)与汉族对照组(22、9、26例)之间分布差异亦有统计学意义(x2=7.027,P＜0.05).汉族病例组与汉族对照组间TT型与非TT型基因型(分别为9、32例和22、35例)、TC型与非TC型基因型(分别为3、38例和9、48例)比较差异有统计学意义(x2=10.694,OR=4.121,P＜0.05;x2=11.592,OR=0.238,P＜0.05).结论 CLCN2基因内含子18的多态性位点146T→C可能是中国云南地区基诺族与汉族IGTCS患者的1个相关性位点,且在本组有限的样本数量研究中,此SNP位点在两个民族IGTCS患者之间的分布无民族差异.基因型TT为IGTCS的1个保护性因素,基因型TC则增加了患者的易患性.

Fast and compact simulation models for a variety of FET nano devices by the CMOS EKV equations

In this paper we explore the possibility of using the equations of a well known compact model for CMOS transistors as a parameterized compact model for a variety of FET based nano-technology devices. This can turn out to be a practical preliminary solution for system level architectural researchers, who could simulate behaviourally large scale systems, while more physically based models become available for each new device. We have used a four parameter version of the EKV model equations and verified that fitting errors are similar to those when using them for standard CMOS FET transistors. The model has been used for fitting measured data from three types of FET nano-technology devices obeying different physics, for different fabrication steps, and under different programming conditions. © 2009 IEEE NANO Organizers.

Population dynamics of two jewfishes Jhonius argentatus and Johnieops vogleri) in the coastal waters of Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh

Population parameters of Jhonius argentatus and Johnieops vogleri in coastal waters of Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh were estimated by using FiSAT programme. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters, extreme length (cm) and growth constant K (year ·1) were found to be 46.50 and 0.59 for J. argentatus, and 33.50 and 0.85 for J.vogleri The Loc(cm) and Z/K estimates provided by Wetherall plot were 46.694 and 1.791 for J. argentatus, and 31.25 and 2.623 for J. vogleri. The annual rate of natural (M) and fishing mortality (F) were estimated as 1.12 and 0.78 for J. argentatus, and 1.56 and 1.28 for J. vogleri. Rate of exploitation (E) was estimated as 0.41 for J. argentatus and 0.45 for J. vogleri. About 80.04% of J. argentatus were found to be recruited during peak pulses (April-May) and 19.96% during lean pulses (October-November) and 85.75% J. vogleri during peak pulses (May-July) and 14.25% during lean pulses (September-October). The growth performance index(') was 3.11 for J. argentatus and 1.93 for J. vogleri. The total length and body weight relationship was found to be W = 0.0403 TL25723 for J. argentatus and W = 0.0907 TV3482 for J. vogleri.

菜花烙铁头蛇毒中一种具有激肤释放酶与纤维蛋白原溶酶活性的Jerdonase

通过DEAF Sephadex t-50阴离子交换、超细Sephadex 6100分子筛和反相高效液相CQ色谱层析，从菜花烙铁头蛇毒冻干粉中纯化出一种具有激肤释放酶活性和。纤维蛋白原溶酶活性的丝氨酸蛋白酶，命名为Jerdonase。在12 .5%胶浓度的SD6还原电泳条件下，该酶分子量大约为55 kD，在非还原电泳条件下，分子量大约为53 kD。此酶是一种糖蛋白，含有约35 .8%的中性糖。它的N末端氨基酸序列为IIGGDEENINEHPFLVALYDA，其序列和蛇毒中其他丝氨酸蛋白酶具有非常高的序列相似性。Jerdonase能够催化BAEE、 S-2238和S-2302的水解，其水解活性可被PMSF抑制，但是EDTA对此没有影响。Jerdonase能优先水解人纤维蛋白原的An链，同时伴随有微弱的B[3链水解活性。另外，此酶能够水解牛低分子量的激肤原，释放舒缓激肤。总之，所有的结果表明Jerdonase是一个具有多功能活性的蛇毒丝氨酸蛋白酶。
