Although finite element (FE) method has been widely used for investigating head injury under impact, there are only a few 3D pediatric head FE models available in the literature, including a 6-month-old child head model developed by Klinich et al (2), a newborn, a 6-month-old and a 3-year-old child head model developed by Roth et al. (3, 4, 5), and a 1.5-month-old infant head model developed by Coats et al (6). Each of these models only represents a head at a single age with single head geometry. Nowadays, populationbased simulations are getting more and more attention. In populationbased injury simulations, impact responses for not only an individual but also a group of people can be predicted, which takes into account variations among people thus providing more realistic predictions. However, a parametric pediatric head model capable of simulating head responses for different children at different ages is currently not available. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop a fast and efficient method to build pediatric head FE models with different head geometries and skull thickness distributions. The method was demonstrated by morphing a 6-month-old infant head FE model into three newborn infant head FE models and by validating three morphed head models against limited cadaveric test data.MODEL CONSTRUCTIONMethod Overview As shown in Figure 1, the basic concept to develop a parametric pediatric head FE model is to morph a baseline model into different subject-specific geometries using mesh morphing techniques based on landmarks selected on both baseline model and CT images. Different material properties also need to be assigned based on the age of the child. Because this method may be programmed and run automatically, it is a very efficient tool to generate a group of FE head models for children with different ages and head geometries.Mesh Morphing In this study, a 6-month-old child head FE model originally developed by Klinich et al (2) was remeshed and used as the baseline model. It included skull, suture, brain, dura mater, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and scalp. Only hexahedral solid elements and quadrilateral shell elements were used in the baseline model. Radial Basis Function (RBF) was utilized to morph the baseline model into any subjectspecific head geometry based on the corresponding landmarks in both the baseline model and CT images (7). Landmarks were evenly distributed throughout the skull surface and special landmarks were also selected along the suture-skull connections. Skull/suture thickness at each landmark was measured from the CT segmentation data, so that morphed model sustained realistic skull/suture thickness. The morphing process included two steps: geometry morphing and thickness morphing. In geometry morphing, the baseline model was morphed to the target head geometry; while in the thickness morphing, skull/suture thickness distribution was adjusted to match the target thickness measured from CT images. The thickness of scalp was assumed to be constant throughout the head and was calculated by averaging measured data from CT images. The baseline model as well as three subject-specific models (8day-old, 10-day-old, and 27-day-old) morphed by the RBF are shown in Figure 2. The skull shape and suture size varied significantly, even though all three infants were less than 1-month-old. There are 38912 solid elements and 7680 shell elements in each model.Baseline model8-day-old model10-day-old model 27-day-old model Figure 2.

During those tests, three newborn infant heads (1-day-old, 3-day-old, and 11-day-old) were subjected to two different loading conditions, compression and drop impact. Compression Test Validation In compression tests, the whole infant head was placed between two parallel rigid plates. One plate is fixed and the other is moved along the anterior-posterior direction of the head at 50mm/s. Forcedeformation time history was recorded. The simulation setup is shown in Figure 3. Three infant head models were simulated under the same compression condition. Good correlations were achieved between the test and simulations as shown in Figure 4.applied to develop pediatric head FE models, in which suture size and skull thickness are crucial. In this study, RBF, traditionally used in image processing, was utilized to morph a six-month-old child head FE model into different head geometries with different skull/suture thickness distributions. Because the landmarks were selected not only throughout the skull, but also along the skull-suture connections, the morphed model sustained accurate suture size with accurate skull/suture thickness distribution. The mesh qualities for all three infant head models were comparable to the baseline model. However, future investigations are needed to further validate the robustness of RBF method for FE mesh morphing. Parametric Pediatric Head FE Model The purpose of a parametric pediatric head FE model is to account for the variations of age, head size and shape, suture size, and skull/suture thickness on the head impact responses among the population. The method developed in this study make it possible to automatically generate a group of pediatric head models for performing population-based impact simulations, which is a significant improvement from previous individual-based pediatric head impact simulations. The proposed method can be widely used for future investigations on pediatric head impact response, injury mechanism, and injury tolerance. Limitations and Future Work This study is limited by the fact that only 3 less than 1-month-old infant head models were constructed, same set of material properties was used for all three models, and model validation was performed against limited cadaveric test results. Nevertheless, this study demonstrated the feasibility of using a parametric pediatric head FE model to conduct population-based simulations. In order to improve this model, future work should include statistical head geometry data for children based on age, the relationship between age and material properties for different head components, and more pediatric head cadaver tests for model validation.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThe authors would like to thank Dr. Matthew Reed and Dr. Jonathan Rupp in University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute for their help on method development and CT data acquisition.Figure 3.

The acceleration time history was reported. In this study, 15cm and 30cm drop tests were simulated using all three FE models. Because the models were symmetric, test results in left and right parietal directions were combined, and consequently accelerations of four impact directions were compared between the tests and simulations. The means and standard deviations of the peak head accelerations at different impact directions from both tests and simulations are shown in Figure 5.

REVIEWNanomaterials in fluorescence-based biosensingWenwan ZhongReceived:18November2008/Revised:29December2008/Accepted:21January2009/Published online:17February2009 #The Author(s)2009.This article is published with open access at Abstract Fluorescence-based detection is the most commonmethod utilized in biosensing because of its high sensitivity,simplicity,and diversity.In the era of nanotechnology,nanomaterials are starting to replace traditional organic dyesas detection labels because they offer superior opticalproperties,such as brighter fluorescence,wider selections ofexcitation and emission wavelengths,higher photostability,etc.Their size-or shape-controllable optical characteristicsalso facilitate the selection of diverse probes for higher assaythroughput.Furthermore,the nanostructure can provide asolid support for sensing assays with multiple probe moleculesattached to each nanostructure,simplifying assay design andincreasing the labeling ratio for higher sensitivity.The currentreview summarizes the applications of nanomaterials—including quantum dots,metal nanoparticles,and silicananoparticles—in biosensing using detection techniques suchas fluorescence,fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET),fluorescence lifetime measurement,and multiphoton microscopy.The advantages nanomaterials bring to the field of biosensing are discussed.The review also points out the importance of analytical separations in the preparation of nanomaterials with fine optical and physical properties for biosensing.In conclusion,nanotechnology provides a great opportunity to analytical chemists to develop better sensing strategies,but also relies on modern analytical techniques to pave its way to practical applications.Keywords Nanomaterials.Quantum dots.Gold nanoparticle.Silica nanoparticle.Fluorescence.FRET. Biosensing OverviewSensitive detection of target analytes present at trace levels in biological samples often requires the labeling of reporter molecules with fluorescent dyes,because fluorescence detection is by far the dominant detection method in the field of sensing technology,due to its simplicity,the convenience of transducing the optical signal,the avail-ability of organic dyes with diverse spectral properties,and the rapid advances made in optical imaging.However,it can be difficult to obtain a low detection limit in fluo-rescence detection due to the limited extinction coefficients or quantum yields of organic dyes and the low dye-to-reporter molecule labeling ratio.The recent explosion of nanotechnology,leading to the development of materials with submicron-sized dimensions and unique optical properties,has opened up new horizons for fluorescence detection.Nanomaterials can be made from both inorganic and organic materials and are less than100nm in lengthAnal Bioanal Chem(2009)394:47–59 DOI10.1007/s00216-009-2643-xW.Zhong(*)Department of Chemistry,University of California, Riverside,CA92521,USAe-mail:wenwan.zhong@Wenwan Zhonghas been Assistant Professor ofChemistry at the University ofCalifornia,Riverside,since July2006.She received the Pilot In-terdisciplinary Research Awardfrom the Institute for IntegrativeGenome Biology of UC,River-side.Her current research in-terests are:developing novelanalytical strategies for utilizingnanomaterials in biosensing;studying nanotoxicity using mi-croscale separation techniques like capillary electrophoresis;and developing field-flow fractionation-based methods for purification and analysis of large protein complexes.along at least one dimension.This small size scale leads to large surface areas and unique size-related optical proper-ties.For example,the quantum confinement effects that occur in nanometer-sized semiconductors widen their band gap and generate well-defined energy levels at the band edges,causing a blueshift in the threshold absorption wavelength with decreasing particle size and inducing luminescence that is strictly correlated to particle size. Therefore,the position of the absorption as well as the luminescence peaks can be fine-tuned by controlling the particle size and the size distribution during synthesis, generating a large group of“fluorophores”with diverse optical properties.Another example is the collective oscillation of free electrons on the surfaces of noble metal particles when their sizes drop below the electron mean free path,which gives rise to intense absorption in the visible to near-UV region as well as a significant enhancement of the luminescence of the fluorophore nearby.On the other hand, they can be conjugated to the reporter molecules as optical tags,like organic dyes,due to their ultrafine physical sizes. Hence,this review focuses on the applications of nano-materials,including semiconductor nanocrystals,noble metal nanoparticles,silica nanoparticles,and carbon nano-tubes,in the field of fluorescence-based sensing. Fluorescent nanoparticleQuantum dotsSince their discovery,quantum dots(QDs)have become more and more important as fluorescence labels in biosensing and imaging[1–5].They are semiconductor nanocrystals composed of atoms of elements from groups II to VI(e.g.,Cd,Zn,Se,Te)or III–V(e.g.,In,P,As)in the periodic table[3,5].The quantum confinement effect arising from their very small(<10nm)dimensions results in wide UV-visible absorption spectra,narrow emission bands,and optical properties that can be tuned by size, composition,and shape[1,5].These features come with high flexibility in the selection of excitation wavelength as well as minimal overlap in the emission spectra from multiple QDs,making them excellent labels for high-throughput screening.Additionally,choosing excitation wavelengths far from the emission wavelengths can eliminate background pared to organic dyes,QDs have similar quantum yields but extinction coefficients that are10–50times larger,and much-reduced photobleaching rates[2].The overall effect is that QDs have10∼20times brighter fluorescence and∼100–200 times better photostability[2].Because QDs are intrinsically fluorescent,they can be employed as the reporter molecules for biomolecule detection.For example,QD-based western blot detection kits are able to detect as low as20pg protein per lane[6, 7].In comparison with colorimetric or chemiluminescent detection,which lead to detection limits of around hundreds of picograms of protein per lane,the QD-based protocol was found to require the same measuring time,be more sensitive,sustain a longer storage time after staining with minimal loss of signal,and deliver better image quality [11].Innovative sensing formats have also been developed to utilize the special properties of QDs.A strategy for the smart targeting of protein was reported by Genin et al., which involved linking QDs to an organic dye of CrAsH [8].Since the interaction between CrAsH and cysteine causes a significant increase in CrAsH’s fluorescence, nanohybrids of CrAsH-QD could serve as a probe to locate Cys-tagged proteins and subsequently trace them for more than150s,taking advantage of the high resistance of QDs to photobleaching[8].On the other hand,Soman et al. profited from the much larger size of QDs than organic dyes when designing a protein detection scheme that offers subpicomolar sensitivity[9].In this scheme,QD-Ab conjugates rapidly aggregate in the presence of antigens, resulting in colloidal structures that are1–2orders of magnitude larger in size than the constituents[9].These structures are detected by light scattering in a flow cytometer[9].The detection of various antigens using QDs with different emission properties is possible with this straightforward agglomeration-based detection strategy. Due to their bright intensity and high photostability,they also have a wide range of applications in bioimaging.For instance,QDs can be employed in fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)and offer higher detection sensitivity than organic dyes.QD FISH detected the expression of mRNA in neurons within the midbrain region of mouse at ×4magnification,which could only be done at×20 magnification when Alexa Fluor488was used[10]. Streptavidin-coated quantum dots bound to biotinylated peptides were produced in vivo after infection of the target bacterium by an engineered host-specific bacteriophage [11].The system detected the specific bacterium at a concentration of ten bacterial cells per milliliter using flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy[11].The optical properties of QDs—a wide absorption spectrum,narrow emission peak,and high photostability—provide great advantages in high-throughput analysis[12–15].Multi-plexed detection of Bacillus anthracis was performed on a fiber-optic microarray platform using five types of QDs and the organic dyes Cy3and Cy5.This eight-reporter system provides a fourfold throughput enhancement over standard two-color assays[14].Even though QDs are a very promising replacement for traditional organic dyes in labeling biomolecules for bioassays and bioimaging,their surface properties need to48W.Zhongbe improved for better aqueous solubility and functionality, their stability should be enhanced,and their nonspecific binding to biomolecules needs to be decreased.Various methods have been developed for these purposes.Ligand exchange is a method commonly used to replace the hydrophobic capping molecules with bifunctional linker molecules for both enhanced solubility in water and to generate functional groups for chemical conjugation with biomolecules on the surface[2,5].Another approach is to cover the hydrophobic surface groups through interactions with amphiphilic molecules like octylamine-modified poly-acrylic acid[2,5].This approach does not alter the surface and optical properties of QDs,because the original hydrophobic layer outside the core/shell CdSe/ZnS is intact. Polyethylene glycol(PEG)is another useful molecule for surface modification of QDs,because it is not only a good adapter for a variety of functional end-groups,such as biotin,amino,and carboxyl groups,but it can also help to improve the stability of QDs and decrease nonspecific binding[16].It has been proven that QDs encapsulated in oligomerized PEG-phospholipid micelles are stable for weeks in pure water(no change in precipitation and fluorescence was observed),and over90%of the fluores-cence was retained after5,000min when the oligomeric PEG-phospholipid micelle QDs were dispersed in acetate, phosphate,and borate buffers with low salt contents.In contrast,the fluorescence of monomeric PEG-phospholipid micelle QDs dropped drastically to<50%or even30% under the same conditions[17].Surface oxidation and pH value during storage are two prominent factors that influence QD stability.For extended stability in basic buffers,dihydrolipoic acid(DHLA)could be attached to the QD surface via a PEG linkage[18].The hydroxyl-coated QDs prepared by Kairdolf et al.showed stability under both basic and acidic conditions,with minimized nonspecific binding[19].All of these surface modification routes strengthen the compatibility of QDs with bioassays and should be continued in order to further enhance their applicability in the field of biological science.Toxicity is another issue that needs to be solved before QDs can be widely applied in biomedical studies performed in vivo,although it may not be a big problem in biosensing performed in vitro.Fluorescent silica nanoparticlesAnother type of fluorescent nanomaterial which has been extensively tested as a labeling reagent in the detection of pathogens,nucleic acids,and proteins is silica nanoparticles doped with organic dyes[20–25].This type of nanomaterial has the following advantages in biosensing:(1)silicon is abundant and nontoxic;(2)the high surface-to-volume ratio of the nanoparticles facilitates their binding to biomole-cules;(3)the inclusion of a large number of fluorescent dye molecules inside each nanoparticle results in excellent photostability due to the ability of the silica matrix to shield from molecular oxygen,and the inclusion also dramatically increases the dye-to-biomolecule labeling ratio,leading to high signal amplification factors during detection;and(4)silica is relatively inert in chemical reactions,but still allows surface modification with well-established chemistries[20,21].Compared to QDs, fluorescent silica nanoparticles have a wider size range, spanning from a few to hundreds of nanometers;they require less strict size control,and exhibit better water solubility[20,21].However,problems related to particle aggregation and nonspecific binding on the silica surface have been observed and will need to be solved before the full potential of silica nanoparticles in biosensing can be realized[20].Studies have shown that a ratio of inert to active functional groups on the surfaces of silica nano-particles that results in a high zeta potential is critical to maintaining a well-dispersed nanoparticle suspension and reducing nonspecific binding[26].Other than organic fluorophores,silica particles can also encapsulate quantum dots.The encapsulation not only retains the unique optical properties of QDs,but it also eliminates the aqueous solubility and modification problems associated with QDs and reduces the toxicity of QDs by preventing the leakage of heavy metal ions into the environment[27].Furthermore,magnetic nanoparticles can be co-embedded with QDs to allow handy manipu-lation of the particles using a magnetic field.Such multi-functional particles could be employed in live cell imaging [27–30].Since toxicity is always a big concern when using cadmium-containing QDs in biomedical research,efforts have been expended to generate silicon QDs(SiQDs)that are far less toxic than group II–VI QDs.However,the indirect bandgap character of silicon results in the extreme-ly low light emission efficiency.Recently,silicon quantum dots with photoluminescence quantum yields of over60% have been demonstrated for organically capped silicon nanocrystals,with emission in the near-infrared range[31, 32].Other big challenges in making biocompatible SiQDs include the instability of their photoluminescence due to their fast oxidation rate in aqueous environments,and the difficulties involved in attaching hydrophilic molecules to the SiQD surface[33–36].Optimal surface functionaliza-tion,such as capping the surface of the SiQD with NH2, SH,OH,acrylic acid,and alkyl groups,has been sought to produce water-dispersible SiQDs while maintaining spec-tral and colloidal stability[33–36].Highly stable aqueous suspensions of SiQDs encapsulated in phospholipid micelles were prepared and applied as luminescent labels for pancreatic cancer cells[35].However,applications ofNanomaterials in fluorescence-based biosensing49SiQDs in biosensing and biomedical imaging are still in their infancy because the mechanism responsible for the visible photoluminescence(PL)of SiQDs and the relation-ship of PL to surface functionalization are not yet clear [34].Moreover,a comprehensive comparison of the optical properties of organic dyes or Cd-based QDs with SiQDs has not been made,which makes it impossible to assess the analytical performance of SiQDs in biosensing.Metallic nanomaterials for fluorescence enhancement It has been known for a long time that metallic nano-structures can enhance the fluorescence of nearby fluo-rophores[37–39].Interactions between the dipole moments of the fluorophores and the surface plasmon field of the metal can increase the incident light field,which results in enhanced local fluorescence intensity and rate of excitation. Such interactions also boost the radiative decay rates, leading to an improved quantum yield and a reduced lifetime of the fluorophore[37–39].It has been estimated that the local electric field and the radiative rate could be increased by factors of140and1,000,respectively,near a silver particle[38].In addition,the shorter lifetime comes with the advantage of higher photon flux and increased photostability[37,38].The combined effect is the amplification of the total number of detected photons per fluorophore by a factor of105,significantly enhancing the detectability of the fluorophore[38].Surfaces on which silver islands or silver particles have been deposited are common platforms in bioassays utilizing MEF as the reporting system.Enhancements of the detection signal ranging from ten-to fortyfold have been observed on silver island film(SiF)-coated glass surfaces in comparison with the bare glass[40,41].An approximately thirtyfold increase in the fluorescent intensity of indocya-nine green was observed on a silver colloid-coated planar surface[42].The distance from the fluorophore to the metal surface is a critical factor in successful fluorescence amplification,because a distance that is too short can lead to quenching of the dye[43].Such a distance dependence of the transfer of electronic energy from a donor plane of molecules to an acceptor plane was modeled by Aroca et al. in the early1990s[44].The ideal range is50–200Åfrom the metal surfaces,which makes conjugation of dye-labeled molecules on the silver surface necessary for MEF[38,43]. The thickness of the silver coating also plays an important role in MEF.A study conducted by Zhang et al.found that the fluorophore was quenched on a silver film of2nm, enhanced on a film thicker than5nm,and reached saturation at20nm[45].Anisotropic silver nanostructures have been constructed for MEF as well because theoretical calculations indicated that the surface of a spheroid with an aspect ratio of1.75could lead to a greater reduction in the radiative decay rate than that of a sphere or a more elongated spheroid[43,46].A fiftyfold fluorescence enhancement was observed with high loading of nanorods on the surface,and triangular silver plates led to an enhancement factor of16[46].Metals other than silver have been tested for their effects on MEF.For instance,the use of a gold nanostructure coupled to CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals for MEF was demon-strated with precise control and high spatial selectivity over the fluorescence enhancement process[47].While silver or gold nanostructures achieve MEF in the visible to near-infrared region,aluminum nanoparticles deposited on SiO2 substrate could work in the ultraviolet–blue spectral region, which broadens the application range of MEF[48].Copper particulate films were also found to generate a moderate enhancement effect[49].MEF has been employed to increase the sensitivity in the detection of DNA,RNA,and proteins in the microarray format[50–52].A twenty-eight-fold fluorescence enhance-ment was observed for the near-infrared/infrared dye Cy5, but only a fourfold enhancement was obtained with Cy3, probably due to the stronger scattering component of the extinction spectrum of Cy5(Fig.1)[52].Sensitive detection of a484-mer RNA with a detection limit of25 fmol(4ng)has been demonstrated with MEF and a detection probe consisting of a TAMRA-labeled DNA oligo [53].Detections of a few nanograms of RNA in RNA capture assays had only been achieved previously with enzymatic signal amplification via alkaline phosphatase or linear mRNA amplification during cDNA synthesis,which are more complicated and time-consuming processes than the MEF-based method[54,55].Proof-of-principle detec-tion of proteins has been demonstrated using model systems like avidin–biotin and antigen(myoglobin)–antibody[51]. Moreover,silver island film and MEF have the potential to increase the sensitivities of bioassays performed on cell membranes.Cells were simply cast onto glass slides covered with silver islands and dried before measurement [56].Because the fluorescence signals of the fluorophores bound on the cell membranes were enhanced dramatically by the SiF supports while the intensity level of the intracellular fluorophores was not changed,the MEF helped to distinguish membrane-bound signals from those inside the cells[56].In order to spatially and kinetically accelerate the binding of biomolecules onto the surface,microwave heating was employed to enable ultrafast detection by MEF [57,58].The microwave-based approach also facilitated the release of genomic materials from bacteria spores.Extrac-tion and detection of DNA materials from less than1000 Bacillus anthracis spores have been achieved within one minute by the microwave-assisted MEF technique[59]. Without MEF,Taqman®real-time PCR was needed to50W.Zhongdetect the same DNA materials from 100unprocessed bacterial spores within 2h [60].The use of biomolecule-conjugated silver nanoparticles allows MEF to be applied to solution-based assays as well [61].Solution-based sensing offers faster reaction kinetics and requires simpler experimental apparatus.Silica-coated silver spheres conjugated with Cy3through streptavidin –biotin binding resulted in three-to five-fold fluorescence enhancements [61].Fluorescent core –shell Ag@SiO 2nano-balls were also synthesized by the same group.The silver nanoball was coated with the fluorophore-doped silica shell,and a twentyfold increase in fluorescence was observed with this structure compared to nanobubbles without a silver core (Fig.2)[62].Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)For assays studying biomolecule interactions and confor-mational changes,FRET is a better technique than simple fluorescence because it is very sensitive to nanoscale changes in distance between molecules [63].Traditional FRET pairs are organic dyes,and modern nanotechnology produces materials like single metal nanoparticles and ionic nanocrystals that can be used as FRET donors or acceptors,offering better FRET effects and more flexible sensing platforms in bioanalysis [63].Metal nanoparticles (NP)Gold nanoparticles are excellent FRET-based quenchers because their plasmon resonance in the visible range makes them strong absorbers and scatterers,with large extinction coefficients of around 105cm −1M −1.Additional superior optical properties include stable signal intensities and photobleaching resistance [63].Gold NP is exceptionally attractive in bioassays due to the ability to finely control particle sizes,and the extreme ease with which biomole-cules containing exposed thiol groups can be attached to the gold surface through gold –sulfur bonds.The gold-sulfur bond also facilitates the attachment of other functional groups such as carboxyl and amine groups via sulfur-containing ligands with special terminal groups.The most typical application of gold NP in FRET-based assays is the labeling of molecular beacons [63].The ends of the hairpin structure are conjugated to Au NP and organic fluorophore,respectively.When the molecular beacon opens up its stem upon binding to its complementary strand in the

0counts (black )to 34,000counts (white )[52]Nanomaterials in fluorescence-based biosensing 51in sensitivity was obtained with Au NP compared with traditional dye combinations [64,65].Bridge molecules can also be employed to bring the fluorophores into the proximity of Au NP .For example,β-cyclodextrin (CD)attached to the Au NP surface formed inclusion complexes with the fluorescein molecules which was then quenched [66].This can be utilized to detect cholesterol,because the replacement of fluorescein at the binding site by cholesterol frees the fluorescein from the NP.The fluorescence intensity of the system increased in proportion to the cholesterol concentra-tion [66].The small particle size of Au NP makes them excellent in vivo imaging reagents as well.Au NP modified with FAM-labeled single-stranded DNA was used to image intracellular hydroxyl radicals;here,the DNA strand was cleaved by HO·and released the quenched fluorophore [67].Silver nanoparticles can be excellent acceptors in FRET too,or they can act as enhancers for FRET pairs.It has been found that hybridization of the donor-labeled oligo-nucleotide with the acceptor-labeled complimentary strand on a silver particle surface led to enhanced FRET efficiency with increased Förster distance (from 8.3to 13nm)and a 21-fold faster FRET rate constant [68].Furthermore,the efficiency of FRET between Cy5and Cy5.5on the surfaces of silver particles was increased when the particle size was increased from 15nm to 80nm and when the distance of the donor –acceptor pair from the particle surface was increased from 2nm to 10nm [69].Therefore,as in the case of MEF,silver particles or a silver-decorated surface can act as the supporting material for FRET-based sensing to enhance assay performance.Quantum dotsOther than being directly used as fluorescent labels,QDs have also been widely recognized recently as energy donors in FRET for bioanalysis.Their broad absorption and narrow emission spectra allow single-wavelength excitation of multiple donors and can avoid crosstalk with acceptor fluorophores.In addition,the spectral overlap between donors and acceptors can be adjusted by tuning the particle size.Moreover,QDs are nanostructures that can be coupled to multiple acceptor fluorophores for higher efficiency in energy transfer and can act as the solid support for biomolecules for imaging purposes or to simplify assay st but not least,the energy transfer between QDs and molecular dyes can be approximately described by the Förster mechanism,and so accurate measurements of donor –acceptor distances can be deduced using the same FRET theory as for organic dyes when QDs are the donors and the organic dyes or QDs are the acceptors [70].However,because of the broad absorption spectra and the long excitation lifetime of QDs,they are not suitable being energy acceptors for short-lived molecular fluorophores [71].FRET-based analyses of nucleic acids,proteins,and other biological molecules have been reviewed extensively by Algar et al.Applications of QDs as the donors in FRET for DNA point mutation analysis,detection of pathogenic DNA,construction of molecular beacons with increased photostability,and immunoassays were covered in that review and will not be discussed here [71].Some new applications of QDs as FRET probes included detectionofFig.2Fluorescence emission intensities of Eu-TDPA-doped Ag@SiO 2and Rh800-doped Ag@SiO 2,as well as those of the corresponding fluorescent nanobubbles,Eu-TDPA-doped SiO 2and Rh800-doped SiO 2(top ).The bottom of the

detection of trypsin and deoxyribonuclease was also demonstrated [72].On the other hand,QD-mediated FRET can contribute greatly to the process of drug discovery and development.For example,it can be employed to image the cargo-unpacking process that occurs inside cells during drug delivery.The plasmid DNA is labeled by QDs and the polymeric gene carriers,such as chitosan and polyethyleneimine,are labeled with Cy5[73].The dissociation of plasmid DNA from the polymeric carriers after entering the cells releases the fluorescence of Cy5,as visualized by confocal microscopy [73].In anotherexample,QD-based FRET was employed to quantify RNA –peptide interactions that could be applied in the screening of libraries of small-molecule drugs (Fig.3)[74].The important HIV-1regulatory protein Rev was labeled with Cy5,and the Rev responsive element on HIV RNA (RRE RNA)was bound to the 605QD via the biotin –strapavidin interaction [74].Association of Rev with the RRE RNA permitted the excitation of Cy5at 444nm,a wavelength outside of the excitation range of Cy5,which would then decrease upon the binding of a small-molecule inhibitor like proflavin [74].Using the 605QD as the FRET donor not only eliminated the interference from the intrinsic fluorescence of the inhibitor (proflavin),the emission spectrum of which significantly overlaps with theabsorp-Fig.4Chemical

In the days of Napoleon the same wind which would have carried his transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading fleet. There was always the chance, and it is that chance which has excited and befooled the imaginations of many continental tyrants. Many are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be adopted, and when we see the originality of malice, the ingenuity of aggression, which our enemy displays, we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem and every kind of brutal and treacherous manoeuvre. I think that no idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but at the same time, I hope, with a steady eye.We must never forget the solid assurances of sea power and those which belong to air power if it can be locally exercised. I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's government - every man of them. That is the will of parliament and the nation. The British empire and the French republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.16.

When Tracy McGrady is healthy, his play can be so beautiful that even his own teammates on the court cannot help but admire it - in the middle of a game.2. "It's hard for me, because I'm a fan of basketball," Houston point guard Rafer Alston told the Houston Chronicle newspaper after McGrady's 44-point performance against Utah on January 5. "When he's shooting the ball like that, a lot of times I'm standing there watching and, all of a sudden, [the other team's] getting the ball and going on a fast break, and I'm getting yelled at by the coach." Indeed, McGrady's body control, his energy, his shooting - watching these are like watching an artist at work, blending colours, constructing sentences, or playing music.3. Unfortunately, McGrady, 27, hasn't always been on the job. Already this season, he's missed seven games with back spasms. After Yao Ming was injured on Dec. 23, it appeared Houston would be without both of its stars. McGrady, however, returned three days later and has been playing well ever since, scoring more than 30 points in each of the last six games, as of Tuesday. Houston can't seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured, the Rockets won two and lost five.4. "Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the things he can do with the basketball," forward Shane Battier said of McGrady. "From a fan's perspective - andwe're fans even though we're players - it's really fun to watch him do that. "From a player's perspective, his game can affect the entire team. No question. We see him, and we get excited, and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots, and suddenly it seems to become easier for everybody."5. But it won't, really. Houston has just begun an important stretch on their schedule. Four of the next seven games will be played away from Houston - and without Yao. Six ofthe games will be against teams with winning records. Opponents will double-team McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching, McGrady's teammates will need to create a little art of their own.23. Paragraph 2C.24. Paragraph 3D.25. Paragraph 4B.26. Paragraph 5A.A.

The programme offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs.Economists blame young people's family dependence on the precarious(不稳定的) labour market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 per cent a year since 2000.Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists. Family ties in south Europe - Italy, Portugal and Greece - are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report "The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Keys for Understanding"."In general, young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized," said Minguez.In Spain - especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews(外甥/侄子) all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.Parents' tolerance(宽容) is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules."A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain he'll put up a big fight and call the father a Fascist," said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez, a sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid.Mothers' willingness to do children's household chores worsens the problem. Dioni-sio Masso, a 60-year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s. The eldest, 28, has a girlfriend and a job. But life with mum is good."His mum does the wash and cooks for him; in the end, he lives well," Masso said.31. The "Youth Emancipation" programme aims at helping young peopleA. fight for freedomB. live in an independent wayC. fight against social injusticeD. get rid of family responsibilities32. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that family ties are stronger in Portugal than inA. FinlandB. GreeceC. SpainD. Italy33. Young people's family dependence can be attributed to all the following factors EXCEPTA. parent's toleranceB. housing problemsC. cultural traditionsD. unwillingness to get married34. Which of the following statements is NOT true of Dinoisio Masso?A. She is 60 years old.B. She has a boyfriend.C. She has three children.D. She lives in Madrid.35. The phrase "wary of" in paragraph 8 could be best replaced byA. tired ofB. afraid ofC. cautious aboutD. worried about第二篇Road Trip VacationsIt's summer. In the United States, it's the season of swimming pools, barbeques, camping and road trips.Road trip vacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money."Ever since I went to college, I've been traveling around a lot, exploring the country," said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year-old college student from New York. This summer, Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England.The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous. "On a road trip, if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore."Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. "With road trips you don't have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car and drive."Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars.Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved, cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels started appearing outside cities.By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US interstate highway systembegan in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up everywhere making long distance trips easier.Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world. Only 8 percent of American homes have no car, according to the most recent US census.Though many college students don't own a car, most have access to one. On many of Hawkins' trips, they used a borrowed van.Hawkins' most memorable road trip took place over spring break. He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer, helping rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina hit it last July. They crossed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots.Roberts' road trip to Canada last winter was even more eventful. Upon arriving in Montreal, they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the -25°cold. To find their hotel, they turned on a laptop and drove around in circles until they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage."I know we should have planned better, but we're young. Now, when I see those guys I always say: 'Remember when we were lost in the snow storm!' I'll never forget that."36. Traveling on wheels is most popular among peoplewho have cars37. What will Hawkins do when he sees something interesting on a road trip?A. He will turn back.B. He will drive around.C. He will stop to explore.D. He will stop exploring.38. When did motels suddenly appear everywhere?A. After the work to build the interstate highway system started.B. When driving trips became popular.C. After many roads were paved.D. After new cars were made.39. Which of the following words can best describe Hawkins' trip to New Orleans?A. Eventful.B. Colourful.C. Delightful.D. Unforgettable.40. The word "blizzard" in paragraph 12 meansA. snow storm.B. hurricane.C. mist.D. fog.第三篇Tightened Visa RegulationsAccording to South Korea's new visa regulations, native speakers of English who intend to teach English in South Korea will be required to undergo criminal record checks, medical and drug tests, provide sealed academic transcripts and have their university diplomas inspected, The Korea Times has reported. The tightened regulations will affect an estimated 17,000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas specifically for foreign language teachers.The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing outside South Korea will have to have an interview at a South Korean embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Canada, Australia or the US, this is an additional travel burden. Meanwhile, foreign teachers currently living in South Korea must leave the country after theirone-year contracts end and renew their visas at a South Korean embassy in their home country or third country. Before the changes, they could renew their visas by visiting a neighboring country and return without additional documentation.The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers. A report from the South Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development shows between 2001 and August of this year, 1,481 foreign language teachers have been caught for a range of offenses including forged degrees, visa violations and general lawbreaking.But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South Korea's English language education sector. According to Michael Duffy, manager of a teacher placement service in South Korea, applicants have to spend a few hundred dollars and several months on getting affidavits fordocuments. "South Korea has put up too many hoops to jump through," he said, adding that foreigners would seek work elsewhere. Most foreigners wonder if the experience of working in South Korea will be worth the burden of the paper work and increasing restrictions. "I don't think (South) Korea has thought this through," said Scott McInnis, a Canadian teacher based in Incheon near Seoul. "This is a reactionary move by the government that will have strong implications for the EFL community."As part of efforts to ease the discontent, the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month grace period for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary documents.41. Which of the following is NOT required of an E-2 visa applicant?A. to pass a Korean language testB. to undergo a medical testC. to provide sealed school reportsD. to undergo a drug test41. A to pass a Korean language test42. C visit a neighboring country if they wanted to renew their visas43. C subversive activities44. What does EFL refer to?D English as a foreign language45. The new visa policy aims atB. improving foreign language teaching in South Korea.第五部分:补全短文My Life at RendaI learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant (TA) at the University of Iowa would be different from life as a teacher at Renmin University.________________(46) Eyes staring, mouths open, students examining my big nose, hands nervous, people whispering while I wrote my name on the blackboard.At Iowa, when my first classes began, half my students still hadn't arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringing cellphones and loud yawns interrupted my opening remarks.It's not that American students were disrespectful. __________________(47) They were, however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't fault them for their skepticism. Undergraduates at large US universities -especially freshmen and sophomores ? often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some cases, the TA sets the course content.______________(48) Most have good intentions, but only a few are as effective asflesh-and-blood professors.Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning - no matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, students who cheat, students who question the grade they get for a paper or project - dealing with these is all part of the job. __________________(49)The difference, I think - at least in my experience is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride. __________________(50)I had a responsibility to teach them, of course, but I had to do so indirectly-as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.答案:46. Back at Renda, I had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrity.47. Most were polite or, at least, indifferent.48. In others, the TA works as a grader and discussion leader.49. I encountered these in China, and I faced them in the US.50. In my students' minds, I had little to offer them, except perhaps some sample questions for the mid-term exam.第六部分:完形填空Improve Computer-research SkillsLike many college students, Jose Juarez carries around a pocket-sized computer that lets him watch movies, surf the Interact and text-message his friends.He's part of "Generation M" - those born after 1985 who ________ (51) up connected to everything from video game to cellphones."For us, it's everyday life," said Juarez, 18, a freshman ________ (52) California State University at Sacramento (CSUS). ________ (53),educators are now saying that not all Generation M-ers can synthesize the piles of information they're accessing."They're geeky, but they don't know what to ________ (54) with their geekdom," said BarbaraO'Connor, a Sacramento State communications studies professor who has been involved in a nationwide ________ (55) to improve students' computer-research skills.In a recent nationwide test to ________ (56) their technological "literacy" their ability to use the Interact to complete class assignments - only 49 percent correctly evaluated a set of Web sites for objectivity, authority and timeliness.

非等位基因
非等位基因概述非等位基因是指同一基因座上的不同等位基因。
等位基因是指在某个给定的基因座上,可以存在多种不同的变体。
每个个体继承了一对等位基因,一对等位基因可能会导致不同的表型表达。
非等位基因的存在使得遗传学研究更加复杂,因为不同的等位基因会对个体的表型产生不同的影响。
背景在生物学中,基因座是指染色体上一个特定的位置,该位置上的基因决定了某个特征的表达方式。
每个基因座上可以有多种不同的等位基因。
等位基因是指在某个特定基因座上的不同基因变体。
每个个体都会继承一对等位基因,通过这对等位基因的不同组合,决定了个体的表型。
然而,并非所有基因座上的等位基因都具有相同的表现型。
非等位基因的影响非等位基因的存在导致不同等位基因会对个体表型产生不同的影响。
有些非等位基因会表现出显性效应,也就是说,当个体继承了一个突变的等位基因时,即使同时继承了一个正常的等位基因,但显性效应会使得突变的等位基因的表型表达得到体现。
相反,有些非等位基因会表现出隐性效应,当个体继承了两个突变的等位基因时,才会表现出突变的表型。
除了显性和隐性效应之外,非等位基因还可能发生两种其他类型的表型效应。
一种是共显效应,当个体继承了两个不同的突变等位基因时,在表型表达上会表现出一种新的特征,这个特征并不是单个突变等位基因所能导致的。
另一种是部分显性效应,当个体继承了两个不同的突变等位基因时,表型表达将介于两个单独突变等位基因的表型之间。
重组和非等位基因重组是指两个不同的染色体交换部分基因序列的过程。
在重组的过程中,非等位基因可能会发生改变,导致新的等位基因组合形成。
这一过程使得非等位基因的表型效应更加复杂,因为新的等位基因可能将不同基因座的效应组合起来。
非等位基因的重要性非等位基因对生物的适应性和多样性起着重要作用。
通过对等位基因的各种组合的研究,人们可以更好地理解基因与表型之间的关系,并揭示遗传变异对物种适应环境的重要性。
总结非等位基因是指同一基因座上的不同等位基因。

Conclusion: Tumor suppressor miR-101 and miR-217 can negatively regulate MALAT1 expression.Significance: These data provide a new mechanism for MALAT1 regulation.ABSTRACTMALAT1, a highly conserved long noncoding RNA, is deregulated in several types of cancers. However, its role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and its posttranscriptional regulation remain poorly understood. In this study, we provide first evidences that a posttranscriptional regulation mechanism of MALAT1 by miR-101 and miR-217 exists in ESCC cells. This posttranscriptional silencing of MALAT1 could significantly suppress the proliferation of ESCC cells through the arrest of G2/M cell cycle, which may be due to MALAT1-mediated upregulation of P21 and P27 expression and the inhibition of B-MYB expression. Moreover, we also found the abilities of migration and invasion of ESCC cells were inhibited after overexpression of miR-101, miR-217 or MALAT1 siRNA. This might be attributed to the deregulation of down-stream genes of MALAT1, such as MIA2,HNF4G, ROBO1, CCT4 and CTHRC1. A significant negative correlation exists betweenmiR-101 or miR-217 and MALAT1 in 42 pairsof ESCC tissue samples and adjacent normaltissues. Mice exnograft data also support thetumor suppressor role of both miRNAs inESCC.at Biomedical Library, UCSD on January 1, 2015/Downloaded from23Introduction Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common and lethal malignancies all around the world. In eastern Asia, ESCC shows a relatively high morbidity and mortality compared to Western countries (1). Epidemiological evidences indicate that heavy alcohol drinking, tobacco smoking, micronutrient deficiency and dietary carcinogen exposure are major environmental risk factors of this fatal disease (2, 3). However, only a part of exposed individuals eventually develop ESCC, demonstrating that host genetic components may also contribute to ESCC etiology (2-7). Multiple cancer causal protein-coding genes, either as oncogenes or tumor suppressors, have been identified in the majority of cancer-associated human genomic loci (8). Accumulated evidences indicate that noncoding RNA (ncRNA) genes also play a crucial role in malignant transformation and/or cancer progression (9-11). Among different kind of ncRNAs, the discovery of endogenous ~22 nucleotides ncRNAs—named microRNAs (miRNAs)—not only disclosed a new layer of gene expression regulation, but also revealed the direct involvement of ncRNAs in tumorigenesis (12, 13). Recently, many long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) ranging in size from several hundred base pairs (bp)to tens of thousands bp, have been identified as a new class of cancer-associated ncRNAs in human (9-11). Among over 3000 human lncRNAs, less than 1% have been functionally characterized (14). Metastasis associated in lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1; also known as NEAT2) is a highly conserved mRNA-like lncRNA, which was originally identified with high expression in metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)(15). It has also been found that MALAT1 is overexpressed in many other human malignancies, including breast, pancreas, colon, prostate and liver (16). Functional studies showed that itsderegulation influences proliferation, invasion and/or metastasis of multiple cancer cells (17-23). Therefore, fine-regulation of MALAT1 is critical for cancer development.Interestingly, lncRNAs may potentially interact with miRNAs and modulate each other’s expression. In one hand, lncRNAs may function as a competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) to miRNAs. In another hand, miRNAs could inhibit expression of lncRNAs through Argonaute 2 (Ago2)-mediated pathway (24-28). However, how lncRNA MALAT1 is regulated by miRNAs at the transcriptional level and its involvement in ESCCat Biomedical Library, UCSD on January 1, 2015/Downloaded fromremains largely unknown. In the current study, we found that miR-101 and miR-217 could silence MALAT1 in ESCC and this posttranscriptional regulation may lead to inhibition of growth, invasion and metastasis of ESCC cells.Materials and MethodsQuantitative real-time PCRTotal RNA was isolated from either culture cells or tissue samples using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, US). RNA samples were reverse transcribed (RT) into cDNA with different RT primers using Revert Ace kit (TOYOBO, Japan). PCR primers used for detecting MALAT1, β-actin and MALAT1 downstream genes (p21, p27, B-MYB, MIA2, HNF4G, ROBO1, CCT4 and CTHRC1) were described previously (17, 18, 23). Stem-loop RT-PCR primers for human miR-101, miR-217 and U6 were synthesized by Ribobio (China). For miR-101, miR-217 and U6 detection, RNA samples were reverse transcribed into cDNA using Revert Ace transcriptase by specific stem-loop RT primers according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The stem-loop PCR was performed as previously described (26). Transcript levels were measured against an endogenous control by qPCR using the SYBR®Green I fluorogenic dye using the Mastercycler eprealplex system (Eppendorf, Germany).Plasmid constructionTotal RNA was extracted from KYSE30 cellline and reverse transcribed into cDNA. Thesequence corresponding to the wild-type MALAT13’ end was amplified by PCR and inserted betweenthe Xba I restriction site of the reporter plasmidpGL3-control (Promega, US). The primers usedwere as follows: 5’-AACTCTAGAGCTTGGCTCTTCCTTCTGTTC-3’/5’-AACTCTAGACCTCAACACTCAGCCTTTATC-3’. The plasmid was named aspGL3-MAL. For construction of MALAT1 reportergene plasmids with mutant miR-101 binding siteor mutant miR-217 binding site, QuikChangeSite-Directed Mutagenesis kit (Stratagene, US)was used according to the manufacture’s construction. These mutant plasmids were namedas pGL3-mut101 or pGL3-mut217. Wild-type andmutant inserts were confirmed by DNA sequencing.Dual luciferase reporter gene assaysA firefly luciferase reporter plasmid(pGL3-MAL, pGL3-mut101 or pGL3-mut217), arenilla luciferase vector (pRL-SV40, Promega)plus small RNAs (miR-101 mimics, miR-217at Biomedical Library, UCSD on January 1, 2015/Downloaded from45mimics or negative control RNAs) were co-transfected into KYSE30, KYSE150 or KYSE450 cells with Lipofectamine ® 2000 (Invitrogen). Three independent transfection experiments were performed and each was done in triplicate. Firefly luciferase activities derived from pGL3-control derived plasmids were normalized to renilla luciferase activity from pRL-SV40 using a luciferase assay system (Promega) as reported previously (29, 30). Cell proliferation assays Human ESCC cell lines (KYSE30, KYSE150 and KYSE450) were cultured in RMPI 1640 medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with penicillin-streptomycin and 10% fetal bovin serum (Hyclone, US) at 37°C with 5% CO 2. KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells were seeded in a 12-well plate at a density of 1×105 cells per well. KYSE450 cells were seeded in a 12-well plate at a density of 2×105 cells per well. Cells were transfected with 10nM miR-101 mimics, miR-217 mimics, negative control RNA (NC) or MALAT1 siRNAs (siM) (Genepharma, China) combined with Lipofectamine ® RNAi Max (Invitrogen). Cells were then harvested by trypsin digestion, washed by cold PBS twice, dyed with trypan blue and counted under microscopy at 24h and 48h after transfection.Colony formation assaysA total of 8,000 KYSE150 cells were transfected with 10nM NC RNA, miR-101 mimics, miR-217 mimics or siM into a 6-well cell culture plate. After 14 days, cells were washed with cold PBS twice and fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde. After cancer cells were dyed with crystal violet, colony number in each well was counted.Wound-healing assays and transwell assays When reaching ~90% confluence, the celllayer was scratched. Cells were then continued cultured at 37°C. The average extent of wound closure was quantified. During transwell assays, the transwell chambers were coated with 100 μl BD Matrigel™ overnight in cell incubator. Cells (1×104 cells in 200 μl medium with 0.2% BSA) transfected with 10nM miR-101 mimics, miR-217 mimics, siM or NC were added to upper transwell chambers (pore 8μm, Corning). A medium containing 10% FBS (650μl) was added to the lower wells. After 48h incubation, cells were fixed and stained, and the nonmigratory cells were scraped from the upper part of the filter. Cells migrated to the lower wells through pores were stained with 0.2% crystal violet solution and counted.at Biomedical Library, UCSD on January 1, 2015/Downloaded fromFlow CytometryCells were transfected with 10nM miR-101 mimics, miR-217 mimics, or NC and harvested at 48h after transfection. After washing with cold PBS twice, cells were fixed with ethanol at -20°C overnight and washed with cold PBS twice again. After treated with RNase A at 37°C for 0.5h and dyed with PI, the samples were detected with the FACSCalibur flow cytometer (FCM) (BD Biosciences). During apoptosis assays, apoptosis was determined using the Alexa Fluor® 488 annexin V/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit (Invitrogen) with the FACSCalibur FCM.Tumor tissue specimensTwenty-four pairs of ESCC tissues and esophagus normal tissues adjacent to the tumors were obtained from surgically removed specimens of ESCC patients in Shandong Cancer Hospital, Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences. Eighteen pairs of ESCC and normal tissues were obtained from Huaian No. 2 Hospital. The tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen after resection. No patients in the current study received chemotherapy or radiation therapy before the surgery. This study was approved by the institutional Review Boards. A part of the tissue samples has been reported previously (31, 32). ESCC XenograftFive-week old female nude BALB/c micewere purchased from Vital River Laboratory (Beijing, China). To evaluate the tumor suppressorrole of miR-101 and miR-217 in vivo, 1×107KYSE150 cells transfected with 30 nM miR-101,miR-217 or siM were inoculated subcutaneouslyinto fossa axillaris of twelve nude mice (n =3 per group). Tumor volumes were measured three timesa week. All procedures involving mice were approved by the institutional Review Board ofHuaian No. 2 Hospital.Statistical analysesAll data are presented as means ± standarddeviation (SD) unless stressed. Student’s t test wasused to examine the differences in luciferasereporter gene expression, and Spearman’s correlation was used to test the significance of association between miR-101 or miR-217 expression and MALAT1 RNA expression. P<0.05was considered statistically significant. All analyses were performed with SPSS softwarepackage (Version 16.0, SPSS Inc.).ResultsIdentification of candidate miRNAs targetingMALAT1at Biomedical Library, UCSD on January 1, 2015/Downloaded from67Photoactivatable-Ribonucleoside-Enhan ced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) is a biochemical method used for identifying the binding sites of cellular RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and microRNA-containing ribonucleoprotein complexes (miRNPs). Using this method, Harfner et al draw a precise map binding sites of Ago proteins across the transcriptome of HEK293 cells (33). Based on these data, Jalali et al evaluated s ystematic transcriptome wide lncRNA-miRNA interactions (26), which provide a good resource for exploring the potential miRNA-dependent lncRNA regulation in human cells . Interestingly, we found that Ago2 protein probably binds to the 3’ end region (from 6615nt to 6650nt) of MALAT1 lncRNA in human cells (Figure 1A). This MALAT1 6615nt to 6650nt region was highly conserved in different mammals (Figure 1A), suggesting its potential function significance as a posttranscriptional regulation region. MiRCode () was then utilized to predict potential miRNA candidates which may target this region. As a result, miR-101, miR-217, miR-383 and miR-503 were identified as candidates for further evaluations (Figure 1A). To verified whether MALAT1 might be regulated by miRNAs, we firstly knocked-down Ago2 (the catalytic subunit of RNA-induced silencing complex, RISC) as well as Dicer (an essential enzyme during miRNA maturing) and examined expression changes of MALAT1 in ESCC cells (Figure 1B and 1C). As expected, we found 1.2-fold to 1.5-fold elevated MALAT1 RNA expression following depressed Ago2 expression in KYSE30, KYSE150 and KYSE450 cells. Also, there was a 1.2-fold to 1.4-fold increased MALAT1 RNA expression after inhibition of Dicer expression in these cell lines. These results gave some clues that miRNAs might participate in MALAT1 regulation.We then tested the possible regulation of MALAT1 RNA expression by miR-101, miR-217, miR-383 and miR-503 in ESCC cells (Figure 1D). Although overexpression of miR-101 and miR-217 could significantly inhibit MALA T1 RNA expression, miR-383 and miR-503 showed little impact. To validate this observation, antagomirs of miR-101 and miR-217 were employed to inhibit endogenous miR-101 and miR-217 expression. We found that a 1.2-fold to 1.6-fold up-regulation of MALAT1 RNA expression in ESCC cells after transfection with antagomirs of both miRNAs(Figure 1E). Given the relative low endogenousat Biomedical Library, UCSD on January 1, 2015/Downloaded fromexpression of miR-101 and miR-217 in ESCC cell lines, it was possible that further inhibition of miR-101 and miR-217 by antagomirs only yielded a marginal effect on MALAT1 RNA expression. Whereas, their low expression in ECSS cells also provided a clue that miR-101 and miR-217 might be tumor suppressors.Interaction of miR-101 or miR-217 and the MALAT1 RNATo examine the potential miRNA-lincRNA interaction experimentally, a 343bp human MALAT1 3' end region (from 6423nt to 6765nt) was subcloned downstream of the firefly luciferase gene (named as pGL3-MAL) and co-transfected into KYSE30, KYSE150 and KYSE450 cells with miR-101 mimics, miR-217 mimics or NC RNA. MiR-101 produced a 42.8%, 58.4% and 41.5% decrease in relative luciferase activity compared with NC RNA transfected KYSE30, KYSE150 and KYSE450 cells (all P<0.05)(Figure 2B, left panel). Similarly, there was 30.3%, 86.7% and 35.1% decreased relative luciferase activity in these ESCC cells with miR-217 overexpression compared to the NC RNA group (all P<0.05)(Figure 2B, left panel). We also measured firefly luciferase mRNA expression with RT-qPCR. As expected, pGL3-MAL firefly luciferase mRNA level was significantly inhibited by miR-101 or miR-217(Figure 2B, right panel). An analogous reporterwith point substitutions disrupting the target sitesof miR-101 or miR-217 (Figure 2A) was alsoco-transfected with miR-101 mimics, miR-217mimics or NC RNA. There was no significant decrease in relative luciferase activity for cells transfected with miR-101 or miR-217 mimics compared with NC RNA-transfected cells (Figure2B, left panel).MiR-101 and miR-217 inhibit proliferation ofESCC cells by G2/M cell cycle arrestIt has been reported that lncRNA MALAT1can modulate cellular proliferation through regulating cell cycle progression. Therefore,miR-101 and miR-217 may also be involved incontrol of ESCC cell growth through silencingMALAT1 RNA expression. We found thatmiR-101, miR-217 or MALAT1 siRNA could significantly inhibit proliferation of KYSE150 andKYSE30 cells in both a dose-dependent and time dependent way (all P<0.01) (Figure 3A). Colonyformation assays also support the tumor suppressorrole of both miRNAs (Figure 3B).To gain insight into the functional relevanceof miR-101 and miR-217 through MALAT1at Biomedical Library, UCSD on January 1, 2015/Downloaded from8depletion, we examined the impacts of these miRNAs on KYSE30 cell cycle progression and apoptosis (Figure 3C). Compared with NC RNA-transfected KYSE30 cells, both miR-101 and miR-217 could result in a significantly reduced G1 population (NC, 59.4%; miR-101, 31.7%; miR-217, 32.1%), marginally increased replication (S-phase) (NC, 30.9%; miR-101, 34.2%; miR-217, 42.5%) and significantly elevated G2/M population (NC, 9.6%; miR-101, 34.1%; miR-217, 25.4%). Similar results have been found in KYSE150 cells (Figure 3C and 3D). However, no significant miRNA-induced apoptosis was observed in both celllines (data not shown). Moreover, we didn’t observe a growth depression in KYSE450 cells (data not shown).MiR-101 and miR-217 inhibit migration and invasion of ESCC cellsSince impacts of lncRNA MALAT1 on ESCC invasion and metastasis were still largely unclear, we investigated how siM, miR-101 and miR-217 regulate migration and invasion of ESCC cells. The wound-healing assays demonstrated that siM, miR-101 and miR-217 impaired the motility of the KYSE30, KYSE150 and KYSE450 cells compared to control cells transfected with NC RNA (Figure 4A). Next, the impact of miR-101 and miR-217 on invasiveness of KYSE30,KYSE150 and KYSE450 cells was determinedusing the Matrigel invasion assay system. Reducedinvasion ability of ESCC cells was observed afterelevated expression of miR-101 and miR-217(Figure 4B). In line with this, MALAT1 siRNA canalso inhibit the invasion of these ESCC cells(Figure 4B). We also confirmed this observationusing antagomirs of miR-101 and miR-217 andfound enhanced invasion ability of ESCC cells transfected with these antagomirs (Figure 4B).MiR-101 and miR-217 modulate expression ofMALAT1 downstream genesConsidering the regulation of miR-101 andmiR-217 on cell cycle progression as well as metastasis of ESCC cells, we examined expressionof multiple MALAT1 downstream genes involvedin cell cycle control (p21, p27 and B-MYB) and metastasis regulation (MIA2, ROBO1, CTHRC1and CCT4). Neither miR-101 nor miR-217 hasbeen proven or has potential binding sites in thesegenes predicted by Targetscan. We found that overexpression of miR-101 and miR-217 or siMup-regulated expression of p21 and p27 andinhibited B-MYB expression in both KYSE30 andKYSE150 cell lines but not in KYSE450, whichwas consistent with our results on how theseat Biomedical Library, UCSD on January 1, 2015/Downloaded from9miRNAs influence ESCC cell proliferation and cell cycle. Moreover, miR-101, miR-217 or MALAT1 siRNA could not only increase expression of MIA2, HNF4G and ROBO1 which are negative regulators of migration and invasion, but also depress expression of CCT4 and CTHRC1 which are positive regulators of metastasis, in all three ESCC cell lines.MiR-101 and miR-217 are negatively correlated with MALAT1 RNA expression in ESCC tissues We further examined expression of miR-101, miR-217 and lncRNA MALAT1 in 42 pairs of ESCC tissue samples and adjacent normal tissues from two different medical centers. For Shandong cohort, significant up-regulation of MALAT1 in ESCC tissues was observed compared to normal tissues (P<0.01) (Figure 6A). There was significant down-regulation of miR-101 or miR-217 in ESCC specimens than normal tissues (Figure 6A). Interesting, we found significant negative correlation between miR-101 or miR-217 expression and MALAT1 RNA expression in ESCC or normal specimens using Spearman’s correlation tests (all P<0.05) (Figure 6A). Similar results were found in Huaian cohort (Figure 6B). MiR-101 and miR-217 inhibit ESCC growth in vivoWe found that the growth of tumors frommiR-101–up-regulated or miR-217–up-regulated xenografts was inhibited significantly, comparedwith that of tumors formed from control xenograftsafter 2 weeks (both P < 0.01) (Figure 7A and 7B).The growth of tumors from MALAT1–down-regulated xenografts was alsoinhibited significantly when compared with that oftumors formed from control xenografts (P < 0.01)(Figure 7A and 7B). However, there were no significant differences of mice weight between controls, miRNAs or siM treated groups (Figure7C).DiscussionAlthough lncRNA MALAT1 has been investigated in multiple human cancers (15, 17-23),little is known about its involvement and regulation in ESCC development. Our results demonstrate that an Ago2-dependent posttranscriptional regulation of MALAT1 bymiR-101 and miR-217 exists in ESCC cells for thefirst time. Data from human malignant or normal esophageal tissues strongly support this observation since there was significantly negative correlation between these two miRNAs expressionlevel and MALAT1 RNA expression level. Thisat Biomedical Library, UCSD on January 1, 2015/Downloaded from10posttranscriptional regulation of MALAT1 could lead to significantly depressed proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of ESCC cells, assuming the tumor suppressor role of miR-101 and miR-217.As a highly conserved lncRNA across mammalian species, MALAT1 shows extreme abundance in many human cancers, underlining its functional importance during carcinogenesis. It has been shown that MALAT1 may play its part through several different mechanisms. The 3’ end of MALAT1 could be cleaved by RNase P and RNase Z, which produces the cytoplasmic mascRNA (an new tRNA-like ncRNA) (34). After localizing to nuclear speckles (35), MALAT1 might modulate alternative splicing of a subset of pre-mRNAs by regulating serine/arginine splicing factors activity (36). Moreover, MALAT1 can bind to CBX4 (Chromobox homolog 4), also referred to as Pc2 (Polycomb 2), a component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1). This interaction controls the re-localization of PRC1 on interchromatin granules, and silences or actives gene expression (37). In this way, MALAT1 influences proliferation, invasion and migration of cancer cells through regulation of multiple known downstream genes, including several cell cycle control genes (p21, p27 and B-MYB) and metastasis related genes (MIA2, ROBO1,CTHRC1 and CCT4) which we examined in thisstudy.Our data revealed that lncRNAs can be regulated by miRNAs at the posttranscriptionallevel. Dicer is a key enzyme during miRNA maturation. Therefore, knock-down of Dicer expression would result in decreased miRNAslevel in cells. Consistent with this, we found increased MALAT1 RNA expression after Dicer depression in ESCC cells. Additionally, since Ago2is essential for incorporation of mature miRNAsinto RISC, decreased Ago2 expression might leadto attenuated function of miRNAs. In accordancewith this, we observed increased MALAT1 RNA expression after Ago2 silencing, which might bedue to inhibition of miR-101 and miR-217 function. Interestingly, Leucci et al. and Han et al.reported that miR-9 and miR-125b can targetMALAT1 for degradation (27,28), which alsosupports the hypothesis that miRNAs are involvedin regulation of lncRNA MALAT1.As an important tumor-suppressive miRNA,miR-101 takes part in development of multiplehuman cancers through targeting several genesincluding EZH2, Cox-2, Mcl-1 and Fos (38-40).at Biomedical Library, UCSD on January 1, 2015/Downloaded from1112Similarly, it has been reported that miR-217 could function as a tumor suppressor in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and clear cell renal cell carcinoma(41, 42). However, the role of miR-101 ormiR-217 in ESCC is still largely unclear. Ourresults indicate that miR-101 and miR-217 act asvital tumor suppressors at least partially throughsilencing MALAT1 in ESCC, which are consistentwith their functions in other malignancies.In the current study, KYSE450 cells did notbehave like other cells, which may be due todifferent ESCC celllines are from differentcancer patients with different geneticbackgrounds. It is quite common to observecellular behavior discrepancies amongdifferent celllines after same treatment eventhey belong to same type of malignancy.Taken together, we identified lncRNAMALAT1 as a novel target of miR-101 andmiR-217. As a result, this posttranscriptionalregulation shows a significant impact onproliferation, invasion and metastasis of ESCCcells. Our findings highlight the interactionbetween miRNAs and lncRNA MALAT1 duringtumorigenesis and progression of esophageal cells.AcknowledgmentsWe thank Dr. Gwo-Shu Mary Lee of Dana-FarberCancer Institute, Harvard Medical School for the comments and critically reading the manuscript. at Biomedical Library, UCSD on January 1, 2015/Downloaded fromReferences1.

2011年高考英语阅读理解分类汇编之科普知识类
2011 高考英语阅读理解分类汇编之科普知识类1.(2011 ·陕西卷) DEver since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, gentically mondified (GM,转基因 ) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in theword,mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GMtechnology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would ,is it the best solutiorr?Despite what it promiises,GM technology actually has not increased the productionpotential of any corp. In factStudies show that the most crown GM croo.GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report than analysed nearlytwo decades of research on mojor GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed tosignificantly increase US crop production.Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM panics tellfarmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (杀虫剂). On the contrary,US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticideuse pared to traditional crops.promise“Thewas that you could use less chemicals and boostproduction. But nether is true,” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that thereactually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production,but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our effortsand money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuelrather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.As a matter of fact ,scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank reportconcluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger,because better ways out are available, among which“ green”farming is supposed to be the first choice.57.The author develops the second paragraph mainly.【 C】A. by classificationB. by parisonC. by exampleD. by process58.What does the underlined word“ boost ” in the third paragraph probably【D 】mean?A. Control.B. EvaluateC. Obtain.D.

However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin andlet ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king hadclosed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, toavoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as athnice neighbor ever since the 18 century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, itseems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ . Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warntheir children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家),encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.th64. The kings of France and England in the 16 century closed bath houses because.A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease65.Which of the following best describes Henry IV’ s attitude to bathing?A.

They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephants and the African forest elephants have been distinct species for several million years. The divergenceof the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woollymammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.There has long been debate in the scientific munity that the two might be separate speciesbut this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species despite the elephants ’significant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5metres. The savanna elephant weighs betweensix and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However, the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the department of Animal Sciences at the University ofMinois, said, “We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purpose. Since 1950 all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinct animals, the forest elephant should bee a bigger priority ( 优先 )for conservation purpose . ”66.One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of ________.A. the Asian elephantB. the forest elephantC. the savanna elephantD. the mastodon elephant67.The underlined word“ divergenceinparagraph” 4means“ ________ ”A. evolutionB. exhibitionC. separationD. examination68.The researcher ’ s conclusion was based on a study of theAfrican elepha nt ’ s ____________A.

Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent onspace rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup( 基因组成 ) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps thebest reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be pletely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential ( 潜伏的 ) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be morethan physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction,in satellites for weather forecasting and in munications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products ( 副产品)of technological developments in the space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to saveus. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed orhow it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might notexist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.71.Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?A.To express his doubts.B.To pare different ideas.C.To introduce points for discussion.D.To describe the conditions on Earth.72.What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?A.Humans are nature-born to do so.B.Humans have the tendency to fight.C.Humans may find new sources of food.D.Humans don ’ t like to stay in the same place.73.The underlined word “ spin-offs ” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______.A. survival chancesB. potential resourcesC. unexpected benefitsD. physical possessions74.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?A. O ur genetic makeup.B. Resources on the earth..C. The adaptive ability of humans.D. By-products in space exploration.75.Which of the statements can best sum un the passage?A. Space exploration has created many wonders.B. Space exploration provided the best value for money.C. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.分析:71.推理判断。

体液免疫与细胞免疫
免疫应答反应由三个时相组成: 抗原识别、淋巴细胞的激活和效应期
细胞免疫的应答反应
主要组织相容性复合物
(major histocompatibility complex,MHC): 是决定自身免疫耐受性的一组特异的糖蛋白抗原分子,它普 遍存在于机体有核细胞表面。除同卵双生外,不同个体具有不同 的MHC。 胚胎时期淋巴细胞成熟时,那些带有能和自身细胞MHC结合 的受体的淋巴细胞全部凋亡,剩下的淋巴细胞不能识别自身的 MHC,因此双方相安无事,即免疫自身耐受性。 MHCⅠ——Tc细胞识别与MHCⅠ(几乎全部身体细胞) 结合的抗原复合物。 MHCⅡ——TH细胞识别与MHCⅡ(巨噬细胞和B细胞) 结合的抗原复合物。
