Genomic organization, gene duplication, and expression analysis of interleukin-1 beta in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) is one of the pivotal early response pro-inflammatory cytokines that enables organisms to respond to infection and induces a cascade of reactions leading to inflammation. In spite of its importance and two decades of studies in the mammalian species, genes encoding IL-1 beta were not identified from non-mammalian species until recently. Recent research, particularly with genomic approaches, has led to sequencing of IL-1 beta from many species. Clinical studies also Suggested IL-1 beta as an immunoreagulatory molecule potentially useful for enhancing vaccination. However, no IL-1 beta genes have been identified from channel catfish, the primary aquaculture species from the United States. In this study, we identified two distinct cDNAs encoding catfish IL-1 beta. Their encoding genes were identified, sequenced, and characterized. The catfish IL-1 beta genes were assigned to bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones. Genomic studies indicated that the IL-1 beta genes were tandemly duplicated on the same chromosome. Phylogenetic analysis of various IL-1 beta genes indicated the possibility of recent species-specific gene duplications in channel catfish, and perhaps also in swine and carp. Expression analysis indicated that both IL-1 beta genes were expressed, but exhibited distinct expression profiles in various catfish tissues, and after bacterial infection with Edwardsiella ictaluri.

用VHDL实现的23位快速浮点数加减法器

With the development of LSI, FPGA/CPLD has been used more and more in the fields of digital signal processing and au-tocontrol and so on. And with the development of the techniques of digital processing, for fitting the system’s function, it should be a higher requirement to speed and used-resource to compute the floating point numbers.

Xe~(23+)离子辐照Al_2O_3的光谱特性

本工作研究460 keV、3 MeV和308 MeV Xe23+辐照Al2O3单晶样品的光致发光特性。从经过460 keV Xe23+辐照后样品的光致发光测试结果可看到,波长为380、413和450 nm的发光峰明显增强,在390和564 nm处出现了新的发光峰。从3 MeV的Xe23+辐照后样品谱的变化可看到,在较低剂量条件下,516 nm(2.4 eV)和564 nm(2.2 eV)处的发光峰随辐照剂量增加而增强,且当剂量增到1×1016cm-2时,564 nm处的发光峰消失,只有516 nm(2.4 eV)处的发光峰较强。从308 MeV Xe23+辐照后样品的光致发光谱中可看到,357 nm(3.47 eV)和516 nm(2.4 eV)处的发光峰随着剂量增加明显增强。辐照后样品的FTIR谱显示:波数在460~510 cm-1和630 cm-1附近的吸收是Al2O3振动模式,经离子辐照后,吸收带展宽;1 000~1 300 cm-1间为Al—O—Al桥氧键的伸缩振动模式,高能辐照后的吸收带向低波数方向移动。

Studies on the exotic structure of Al-23

The longitudinal momentum distribution (P-//) of fragments after one-proton removal from Al-23 and reaction cross sections (sigma(R)) for Al-23,Al-24 on carbon target at 74A MeV have been measured simultaneously. An enhancement in sigma(R) is observed for Al-23 compaxed with Al-24. The full width at half maximum of the P-// distribution for Mg-22 fragments has been determined to be 232 +/- 28 MeV/c. Analysis of P-// using the Few-Body Glauber Model indicates a dominant d-wave configuration for the valence proton in the ground state of Al-23. The exotic structure in Al-23 is discussed.

MEASUREMENT OF TWO-PROTON CORRELATION FROM THE BREAK-UP OF Al-23

Experiments of Al-23 and Mg-22 radioactive beams bombarding a C-12 target at an energy of 60 similar to 70 A MeV have been performed at the projectile fragment separator beamline (RIPS) in the RIKEN Ring Cyclotron Facility to study the two-proton emission from Al-23 and Mg-22 excited states, respectively. The trajectorie of the decay products, namely Na-21 + p + p from Al-23 and Ne-20 + p + p from Mg-22, are clean identified. The relative momentum and opening angle between two protons in the rest frame of three body decay channels are obtained by relativistic-kinematics reconstruction. The results demonstrate that there are some di-proton emission components from He-2 cluster for the excited Al-23 and Mg-22.

~(23)Si + ~(238)U非完全熔合裂变与跟随裂变测量

用~(28)Si束流在15.0 Mev/A和21.7 Mev/A两个能量轰击~(238)U靶，裂变碎片由六片PSAD来探测，六片PSAD分为两组，前角组覆盖角度为5°～ 74 °，后角组覆盖角度为-60 °～ -168。在这能区出现了非完全线性动量转移现象，线性动量转移分布是双峰结构，小线性动量转移部分对应于跟随裂变，大线性动量转移部分对应于非完全熔合裂变。用线性动量转移将它们区分开来，得到了跟随裂变截应的相对激发函数。用简单的引导粒子模型对非完全熔合裂变线性动量转移最可几值进行了估算，并与21.7Mev/A的实验进行了比较。用跟随裂变线性动量转移最可几值修正后对其类靶核激发能进行了估算，用单体耗散能对其进行了解释。在这能区，考虑了线性动量转移修正后，总动能仍符合Vio/a系统化公式。由于轻粒子蒸发使裂变碎片产生出反应平面角，得到出反应平面角分布的标准偏差与激发能的关系。发现对Zcn> 100的重系统，有额列轻粒子发射现象
