拮抗肌对的协同控制与EMG信号的中值频率关系

探讨在持续恒力收缩时,正常人体肘关节主动肌和桔抗肌的协同作用原理与它们的表面EMG信号中值频率(Median Frequency,MF)的变化趋势,研究它们的疲劳行为。十五个正常受试者的实验数据统计结果表明,拮抗肌的SEMG/MF高于主动肌;随着收缩时间的增加,主动肌和拮抗肌的MF几乎以相同的速率下降;收缩力越大,它们的两条拟合直线之间的距离、互相关系数、下降速率也越大;关节的角度的变化对上述结论似乎没有明显的影响。这些结论对屈曲和伸展模式都成立。利用人体组织的幅度衰减特性和频率衰减特性,神经肌肉系统的“共驱动”概念对上述结果进行了讨论。

陀螺仪转子的安装精度对其运行的稳定性和精确性有很大的影响。由于要求的安装误差很好，因此，对其误差的测量要求准则。其测量误差应经安装误差小1／10以及上，一般的检测方法很难达到要求，为此介绍了一种新型的光电检测方法，该方法利用狭缝的光学傅立叶变换提取陀螺仪转子的误差信息，采用计算机进行信息处理，从而完成陀螺仪转子的自动检测和分类，该方法也可用于其他一些精密年的自动检测处理。     

轴对称辐射传递逆问题的三种求解算法比较

针对轴对称光学薄火焰,用图像探测器和滤色片获得火焰的单色辐射图像,根据火焰的单色辐射强度,分别采用最小二乘法、正则化方法和线性规划法对辐射传递逆问题进行了求解.对一个轴对称乙烯扩散火焰进行实验检测,通过对三种求解方法的结果比较,表明对辐射强度较高的火焰中部和上部区域,三种方法均可获得较好的重建结果;而对于辐射强度较低的火焰下部区域,由于线性规划法同时具有光滑性和约束性的优点,可以获得较好重建结果,它对求解轴对称辐射传递逆问题是一种比较理想的算法.     

Stepwise replication identifies a low-producing lymphotoxin-alpha allele as a major risk factor for early-onset leprosy

Host genetics has an important role in leprosy, and variants in the shared promoter region of PARK2 and PACRG were the first major susceptibility factors identified by positional cloning. Here we report the linkage disequilibrium mapping of the second linkage peak of our previous genome-wide scan, located close to the HLA complex. In both a Vietnamese familial sample and an Indian case-control sample, the low-producing lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA)+80 A allele was significantly associated with an increase in leprosy risk (P = 0.007 and P = 0.01, respectively). Analysis of an additional case-control sample from Brazil and an additional familial sample from Vietnam showed that the LTA+80 effect was much stronger in young individuals. In the combined sample of 298 Vietnamese familial trios, the odds ratio of leprosy for LTA+80 AA/AC versus CC subjects was 2.11 (P = 0.000024), which increased to 5.63 (P = 0.0000004) in the subsample of 121 trios of affected individuals diagnosed before 16 years of age. In addition to identifying LTA as a major gene associated with early-onset leprosy, our study highlights the critical role of case- and population-specific factors in the dissection of susceptibility variants in complex diseases.

Aminoglycoside antibiotics: old drugs and new therapeutic approaches

Aminoglycoside antibiotics kill bacteria by binding to the ribosomal decoding site and reducing fidelity of protein synthesis. Since the discovery of these natural products over 50 years ago, aminoglycosides have provided a mainstay of antibacterial therapy of serious Gram-negative infections. In recent years, aminoglycosides have become important tools to study molecular recognition of ribonucleic acid (RNA). In an ingenious exploitation of the aminoglycosides’ mechanism of action, it has been speculated that drug-induced readthrough of premature stop codons in mutated messenger RNAs might be used to treat patients suffering from certain heritable genetic disorders.

Recombination and linkage disequilibrium in Arabidopsis thaliana

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is a major aspect of the organization of genetic variation in natural populations. Here we describe the genome-wide pattern of LD in a sample of 19 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions using 341,602 non-singleton SNPs. LD decays within 10 kb on average, considerably faster than previously estimated. Tag SNP selection algorithms and 'hide-the-SNP' simulations suggest that genome-wide association mapping will require only 40%-50% of the observed SNPs, a reduction similar to estimates in a sample of African Americans. An Affymetrix genotyping array containing 250,000 SNPs has been designed based on these results; we demonstrate that it should have more than adequate coverage for genome-wide association mapping. The extent of LD is highly variable, and we find clear evidence of recombination hotspots, which seem to occur preferentially in intergenic regions. LD also reflects the action of selection, and it is more extensive between nonsynonymous polymorphisms than between synonymous polymorphisms.     

A genome-wide association study for celiac disease identifies risk variants in the region harboring IL2 and IL21

We tested 310,605 SNPs for association in 778 individuals with celiac disease and 1,422 controls. Outside the HLA region, the most significant finding (rs13119723; P = 2.0 x 10(-7)) was in the KIAA1109-TENR-IL2-IL21 linkage disequilibrium block. We independently confirmed association in two further collections (strongest association at rs6822844, 24 kb 5' of IL21; meta-analysis P = 1.3 x 10(-14), odds ratio = 0.63), suggesting that genetic variation in this region predisposes to celiac disease.
