To detect anaerobic bacteria Clostridium sp . and Bacteroides fragilis in intrahepatic stones by molecular genetic method Methods DNA was extracted from 59 stone samples and subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification targeting the 16S rRNA gene of Clostridium sp . and the glutamine synthetase gene of Bacteroides fragilis Single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis was performed to identify the Clostridium sp Results 16S rRNA gene sequences for Clostridium sp. were identified in 49 stones (83%, 49/59) The two most common groups were detected in 19 (41%) and 17 (37%) of the 46 samples using SSPC analysis, and 25/59 (42%) stones were tested positive for Bacteroides fragilis Conclusions Anaerobes such as Clostridium sp and Bacteroides fragilis present in intrahepatic stones and may play a role in stone formation PCR is a useful technique to detect fastidious pathogens, which are difficult to culture SSCP of PCR products is a rapid method in differentiating bacterial species

We proposed a novel solution schema called the Hierarchical Labeling Schema （HLS） to answer reachability queries in directed graphs. Different from many existing approaches that focus on static directed acyclic graphs （DAGs）, our schema focuses on directed cyclic graphs （DCGs） where vertices or arcs could be added to a graph incrementally. Unlike many of the traditional approaches, HLS does not require the graph to be acyclic in constructing its index. Therefore, it could, in fact, be applied to both DAGs and DCGs. When vertices or arcs are added to a graph, the HLS is capable of updating the index incrementally instead of re-computing the index from the scratch each time, making it more efficient than many other approaches in the practice. The basic idea of HLS is to create a tree for each vertex in a graph and link the trees together so that whenever two vertices are given, we can immediately know whether there is a path between them by referring to the appropriate trees. We conducted extensive experiments on both real-world datasets and synthesized datasets. We compared the performance of HLS, in terms of index construction time, query processing time and space consumption, with two state-of-the-art methodologies, the path-tree method and the 3-hop method. We also conducted simulations to model the situation when a graph is updated incrementally. The performance comparison of different algorithms against HLS on static graphs has also been studied. Our results show that HLS is highly competitive in the practice and is particularly useful in the cases where the graphs are updated frequently.

To establish a profile of the causes of apparently unexplained SS in genetic ref erral center and evaluate the current referral system Methods This was a retrospective database survey on patients who were referred our clini cal genetic service from 1988-1998 primarily because of SS We retrieved the st udy population from our computer database using "short stature" as a search han dle and then studied the demographic, clinical and laboratory data from their me dical records Results Three hundred and fifty three subjects were referred for genetic evaluation of SS in 1988-1998 The mean age of referred subjects was 11 5 years and the female to male ratio was 7 6 All referrals had undergone cytogenetic studies to exclude chromosomal abnormal ities, 19% of girls with apparently unexplained short stature had Turner syndrom e; at least 47 9% of the study population were normal variants and 25% of the referrals had inadequate information for classification Conclusions Genetic investigation is essential in the management of patients with SS, especi ally for girls suspected of having Turner syndrome, in which growth hormone trea tment has shown to improve final height We also highlight the inherited causes of short stature, which were often misdiagnosed as benign familial short statur e, and discussed the drawbacks of the current referral

Phase change memory

Phase change memory (PCM) is a non-volatile solid-state memory technology based on the large resistivity contrast between the amorphous and crystalline states in phase change materials. We present the physics behind this large resistivity contrast and describe how it is being exploited to create high density PCM. We address the challenges facing this technology, including the design of PCM cells, fabrication, device variability, thermal cross-talk and write disturb. We discuss the scalability, assess the performance, and examine the reliability of PCM including data retention, multi-bit storage and endurance.

Blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus Psyndrome （BPES, OMIM # 110100） is a rare autosomal dominant disorder affecting the eyelid and ovarian development. When co-occurred together, it is type Ⅰ and when only the eyelid abnormalities are present, it is type Ⅱ. Both types had been mapped to the same locus 3q23 on the basis of cytogenetic rearrangements 1-3 and linkage analyses. 4-6 Subsequently,
