In the research of xenon sampling and xenon measurements, the xenon breakthrough curve plays a significant role in the xenon concentrating dynamics. In order to improve the theoretical comprehension of the xenon concentrating procedure from the atmosphere, the method of the breakthrough curve combination for sampling techniques should be developed and investigated under pulse injection conditions. In this paper, we describe a xenon breakthrough curve in a carbon molecular sieve column, the combination curve method for five conditions is shown and debated in detail; the fitting curves and the prediction equations are derived in theory and verified by the designed experiments. As a consequence, the curves of the derived equations are in good agreement with the fitting curves by tested. The retention times of the xenon in the column are 61.2, 42.2 and 23.5 at the flow rate of 1200, 1600 and 2000 mL min-1, respectively, but the breakthrough times are 51.4, 38.6 and 35.1 min.

The article discusses a study on the prokaryotic expression of hypodermin A gene of H. lineatum in Escherichia coli by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Regular exercise has been known to have many benefits, for example, improving physical performance, promoting health and preventing chronic diseases such as metabolic diseases. As a very important organelles in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria exhibit superb plasticity in response to exercise. Exercise may promote mitochondrial biogenesis and eliminate the dysfunctional mitochondria via mitophagy in order to maintain the normal function of the mitochondrial network. These dynamic changes keep mitochondria in health state and ensure the energy supply for cells. This review summarized the studies on the regulation of mitochondrial quality control by exercise, and provided a reasonable explanation for exercise to promote health and prevent diseases.

Objective: To obtain monoclonal antibodies against programmed cell death 10 (PDCD10) for further study of the structure and function of PDCD10 protein., Methods: Balb/c mice were immunized with recombinant PDCD10, hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies against PDCD10 were screened by regular cell fusion and subcloning approach. The specificities of these monoclonal antibodies were determined by ELISA, Western blotting and Immunofluorescence assay., Results: Three hybridoma cell lines (5G1, 4F7 and 3H5) stable in secreting specific monoclonal antibodies were successfully obtained. Subclass of IgG belonged to IgG1 (4F7 and 5G1) and IgG2b (3H5), respectively. The ascite titers of these monoclonal antibodies reached 1:10(7). They could specifically bind to recombinant PDCD10 and endogenous and overexpressed PDCD10 proteins proved by ELISA and Western blotting. They failed to react with E.coli lysates and glutathione S-transferase (GST). In addition, these three monoclonal antibodies could recognize different epitopes of PDCD10 proteins assessed by immune fluorescence competitive binding assay. Both endogenous and overexpressed PDCD10 protein mainly located in the nucleus., Conclusion: Monoclonal antibodies against PDCD10 with high titers and specificity have been successfully prepared, which has laid the foundation for further study of PDCD10 protein.
