The biotransformation of endomorphin-1 (EM-1) by brain synaptic membranes has been studied. Peptide fragments of EM-1 that were formed during incubation with membrane preparations in vitro were isolated by High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and characterized using determination of amino acid composition. At pH 7.4, two degradation products, EM-1(1-3) and EM-1(1-2), were identified. EM-1 was degraded 77.5% at 30 min incubation with synaptic membranes. The time course of the experiments and the effect of carboxypeptidase inhibitor (CPI) demonstrated that the proteolysis reaction involves the participation of carboxypeptidase activity.

The low-temperature specific-heat C(T) data of high-T_{c} superconductors RBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-x}(R123O_{7-x}) were reviewed. A discussion of the C(T) data obtained on single-crystalline samples of Er123O_{7-x} and Sm123O_{7-x} compounds in applied magnetic fields for better evaluation of the crystal-electric-field parameters is given. The C(T) measurements of Sr-substituted compounds RBaSrCu_{3}O_{7} revealed the λ-type of peak related to the antiferromagnetic order at 1.2 K and 0.6 K respectively for Dy- and Er-compounds. The magnetic singlet ground state in these compounds is produced by weak exchange interactions of -0.05 T/μ_{B} and -0.035 T/μ_{B}, respectively. For Nd- and Sm-compounds, only a broad anomaly around 0.6 K was observed which is well fitted with a Schottky-type anomaly with an energy splitting of 1.4 K.

Vertically well-aligned ZnO nanorods arrays were synthesized on sapphire substrates by chemical bath deposition. Those sapphire substrates were seeded to control the density and orientation of ZnO nanorods using sol-gel method. Well-aligned and uniformly distributed ZnO nanorods in a large scale were obtained with strongly (002) preferential orientation. The structural properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction spectrometer and morphological characteristics were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The ZnO nanorods are obvious hexangular wurtzite structure and preferentially oriented along the c-axis (002) and growth vertically to the substrates. The optical properties were further thoroughly studied. What is more, the influences of the strain between substrate and ZnO nanorods due to thickness of the ZnO seed-layer on the characteristics and optical properties of ZnO were also analyzed.

The study aimed to compare MspI polymorphisms in the 3rd intron of the porcine gene encoding the pituitary-1 transcription factor (Pit-1, renamed as POU1F1) among 5 breeds and to determine the associations between its genotypes and growth performance in a commercial pig population by using the PCR-RFLP technique. Significant differences in genotypic and allelic frequencies were found between the meat-type and fat-type breeds (P < 0.05), and between miniature pigs and others (P < 0.05). No breed deviated from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (verified by chi-square test). The general linear model analysis revealed that higher body weight on day 180 (BW180) and average daily gain (ADG) were significantly associated with POU1F1 DD genotype (P < 0.05). The differences in BW180 and ADG between DD pigs and both CD and CC pigs were significant (P < 0.05), and the DD pigs had a significantly higher body weight on day 45 (BW45) and on day 70 (BW70) than CC pigs (P < 0.05). All measured growth traits, except for body weight at birth (BWB), showed higher values in DD pigs. The D allele had a favorable positive effect on growth traits. Thus POU1F1 is a potential major gene or marker for growth traits.

Amorphous Fe_{80-x}Nb_{x}B_{20} (x = 5, 10, 15) ribbons were prepared by single-roller melt spinning method. The thermal, structural and magnetic properties of Fe_{80-x}Nb_{x}B_{20} (x = 5, 10, 15) ribbons were investigated using differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The thermal stability is the lowest for Fe_{70}Nb_{10}B_{20} ribbon and the highest for Fe_{65}Nb_{15}B_{20} ribbon. Along with the increase of Nb content, the supercooled liquid region Δ T_{x} increases, indicating that the amorphous formation ability improves. The primary stages of crystallization of the three ribbons are different. The primary devitrification phases are Fe_{23}B_6 type for Fe_{70}Nb_{10}B_{20} and Fe_{75}Nb_5B_{20} ribbons, and α-Fe type for Fe_{65}Nb_{15}B_{20} ribbon. Fe_{80-x}Nb_{x}B_{20} (x = 5, 10) ribbons are ferromagnetic and the Fe_{65}Nb_{15}B_{20} ribbon is paramagnetic. The saturation magnetization (M_{s}) decreases with increasing Nb content.
