The clinical manifestations of HFMD include vesicles of hand, foot and mouth in young children and severe inflammatory CNS lesions. In this study, experimentally CA16 infected tree shrews(Tupaia belangeri) were used to investigate CA16 pathogenesis. The results showed that both the body temperature and the percentages of blood neutrophilic granulocytes / monocytes of CA16 infected tree shrews increased at 4-7 days post infection. Dynamic distributions of CA16 in different tissues and stools were found at different infection stages. Moreover, the pathological changes in CNS and other organs were also observed. These findings indicate that tree shrews can be used as a viable animal model to study CA16 infection.展开更多

Its complete genomic sequence consists of more than 11 000 bp encoding more than 3 700 amino acids. It contains a 5＇ non-transcriptional region （5＇-NTR） in a non-structural region, four non-structural proteins （nsP1, nsP2, nsP3, nsP4） regions, capsids in conserved and non-conserved regions and structural El, E2, E3, 6K regions and a 3＇ non-transcriptional region （3＇-NTR）. The Sindbis-IMB was isolated from the blood of a patient suspected to have encephalitis, and was followed by identification and passage. The virus RNA was extracted from virus supernatant in infected cells and the whole genome was divided into 12 fragments; RT-PCR was then performed to amplify the 12 fragments for complete sequencing. The results showed that the whole genomic sequence of Sindbis-IMB consists of 11 717 bp encoding 3 773 amino acids. Homology comparison with other Sindbis-like isolates demonstrated the highest similarity was the YN87448 with a variation of 1% strain isolated in Yunnan Province and the second highest to the SAAR86 strain with a variation of -1.2%. The nucleotide sequence variations were present in non-structural regions, resulting in amino acids K, E, N, R, H, and L in protein sequences in positions 230, 231,443,781, 1 582, and 1746 in the new isolation respectively. Furthermore, three additional amino acids-glutamic acid, serine and alanine-were noted in nsp4 terminus as compared to the YN87448 isolate展开更多

Thelandslide occurred on an approximately 18.3-m high, north-facing slope during March 2011. The landslidemeasured about 33.5 m in width and about 51.8 m in length. Along the toe of the slope, a residentialstructure with a swimming pool was built on a cut and fill pad and there are several other structurespresent along the western side of the pad. The landslide occurred immediately to the south of theresidential building and moved northward between the County Road A and the house＇s side yard. Themovement of the landslide resulted in damaging the west-bound traffic lane of County Road A andencroached onto the paved driveway for the residential property. An investigation was performed toidentify the failure mechanism of the landslide to conclude whether Road A re-alignment by the Countyor prominent cutting performed along the lower portion of the slope by the homeowner during 2000through 2004 contributed to the reactivation of the old landslide deposit. The investigation included sitereconnaissance, reviewing available published geologic information, reviewing site-specific geologic andgeotechnical data developed by other consultants, and performing numerical modeling. The outcomes ofthe investigation indicate that the primary causation for the reactivation and failure of the subject preexistinglandslide is the prominent cutting performed along the lower portion of the slope during 2000through 2004 and water tank cut bench. The Road A re-alignment did not contribute to the reactivationof the old landslide deposit. 2015 Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It is urgent to design and prepare functionalized materials for efficient radionuclides separation. Porous materials are considered excellent candidates for the separation of radionuclides under complex conditions due to their high specific surface areas, tunable pore structures and controllable functionalities. In this review, we summarized the design, preparation and functionalization of porous materials and their application for separation of radionuclides in the past five years, discussed the separation performance and analyzed the structure-activity relationship between various radionuclides and porous materials, and systematically clarified their characterization and mechanism of different type porous materials. We also introduced the detection, irradiation and chemical toxicity of different reflective radionuclides.展开更多

Using the M1 mutant, we further modified the UL41 gene, which encodes another tegument protein, and the latency-associated transcript(LAT) gene. Observations of the resulting mutants with modified UL7 and UL41(M2) or UL7, UL41 and LAT(M3) genes indicated attenuated phenotypes, with lower proliferative ratios in various cells, non-lethal infections in mice and lower viral loads in nervous tissues compared with the wild-type strain. Furthermore, no LAT stable intron could be detected in the trigeminal ganglion of M3-infected animals. The results obtained with the three HSV-1 mutants indicate that the M3 mutant is an attenuated strain with low pathogenicity during both acute and latent infections. Together, the results support the use of the M3 mutant as a candidate for the development of an HSV-1 vaccine.展开更多
