Male-pattern baldness susceptibility locus at 20p11

We conducted a genome-wide association study for androgenic alopecia in 1,125 men and identified a newly associated locus at chromosome 20p11.22, confirmed in three independent cohorts (n = 1,650; OR = 1.60, P = 1.1 x 10(-14) for rs1160312). The one man in seven who harbors risk alleles at both 20p11.22 and AR (encoding the androgen receptor) has a sevenfold-increased odds of androgenic alopecia (OR = 7.12, P = 3.7 x 10(-15)).     

Heritable germline epimutation of MSH2 in a family with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer

Epimutations in the germline, such as methylation of the MLH1 gene, may contribute to hereditary cancer syndrome in human, but their transmission to offspring has never been documented. Here we report a family with inheritance, in three successive generations, of germline allele-specific and mosaic hypermethylation of the MSH2 gene, without evidence of DNA mismatch repair gene mutation. Three siblings carrying the germline methylation developed early-onset colorectal or endometrial cancers, all with microsatellite instability and MSH2 protein loss. Clonal bisulfite sequencing and pyrosequencing showed different methylation levels in different somatic tissues, with the highest level recorded in rectal mucosa and colon cancer tissue, and the lowest in blood leukocytes. This mosaic state of germline methylation with different tissue distribution could act as the first hit and provide a mechanism for genetic disease inheritance that may deviate from the mendelian pattern and be overlooked in conventional leukocyte-based genetic diagnosis strategy.     

表征高温性能的沥青纯粘性稠度

利用自行研发的沥青稠度测试仪,对沥青高温流动和粘弹特性进行分析可知,粘性成分是沥青抵抗变形的关键.为此引入了0.1 s-1剪变率时的纯粘性稠度,并提出了计算方法.将高温时0.1 s-1纯粘性稠度与沥青常规高温指标和沥青混合料动稳定度进行了比较分析,结果表明:高温时0.1 s-1纯粘性稠度克服了常规指标不适宜评价改性沥青的缺点,适合作为沥青高温性能新指标.最后,分析并推荐了沥青高温0.1 s-1纯粘性稠度标准的建议值.

英语转移否定句的理解与翻译

在翻译中,英语的否定结构是一个常见的语言现象.由于英汉两种语言在表达方法上存在很大差异,尤其在表达否定概念上,英语在用词、语法和逻辑等方面与汉语都有很大不同.如何将英语否定句的确切含义准确地用汉语表达出来,是一个较为复杂的事.本文就英语转移否定句的理解与翻译从3个方面进行了探讨.     

Interior penalty bilinear IFE discontinuous Galerkin methods for elliptic equations with discontinuous coefficient

<正> This paper applies bilinear immersed finite elements (IFEs) in the interior penalty discontinuousGalerkin (DG) methods for solving a second order elliptic equation with discontinuous coefficient.A discontinuous bilinear IFE space is constructed and applied to both the symmetric and nonsymmetricinterior penalty DG formulations.The new methods can solve an interface problem on a Cartesianmesh independent of the interface with local refinement at any locations needed even if the interfacehas a nontrivial geometry.Numerical examples are provided to show features of these methods.

Effect of protein molecules on the photoluminescence properties and stability of water-soluble CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots

The fact that the photoluminescence properties of quantum dots are always strongly influenced by the environment limits the scope of further progress in the field of QD’ bio-applications. In this paper, the effects of immunoglobulin G (IgG) on the photo-luminescence properties and stability of water-soluble CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots coated with amphiphilic poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) are studied. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra, UV-vis spectra and excited state lifetime measurements are used to characterize the influence of different protein molecules, such as IgG (goat anti-human IgG, rabbit anti-human IgG, human IgG, and goat anti-human IgG-human IgG conjugates), avidin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the PL properties of QDs. The PL intensity and stability of CdSe/ZnS are largely enhanced compared to that of pure CdSe/ZnS QDs when the IgG molecules are added into the QD solution. The PL intensity increases with increasing the IgG concentration, but there appears no influence on the PL peak and a full width at half maximum (FWHM). The PL evolution of QDs as a function of different protein molecules depends on the structure of protein molecules, which is used as a sensor to recognize human IgG. It is inferred that the interaction between PAA coating layer and IgG molecules results in the enhancement of PL intensity. The study of the effect of pH and ion strength on optical properties of QD-IgG mixed solution, compared with the pure QD solution, suggests that pH value and ion strength do not destroy the interaction between the PAA coating layer and IgG. Excited state lifetime analysis indicates that the PL enhancement comes from the passivation of surface of the QDs with the PAA coating layer. IgG molecules have no effects on the properties of the biological system but can increase the stability and PL intensity of CdSe/ZnS QDs, which will enlarge the application of QDs in biomedicine and other fields.
