| degradation of benzo(a)pyrene in yangtze river source water with functional strains. | degradation of benzo(a)pyrene (bap) existing in the yangtze river, used as source water for nanjing city, china, was investigated with functional strains. the removal rates of bap were 37.5, 20.8 and 70.8% for the three strains of the native bacterium nj, and the two functional strains of xhhh and fhhh, respectively. the fhhh specific degradation rate of bap was 3.02 x 10(-6) day(-1), which was 1.9-fold of the rate with nj and 3.7-fold of the rate with xhhh. the concentrations of bap in the sour ... | 2009 | 19499330 |
| candida mengyuniae sp. nov., a metsulfuron-methyl-resistant yeast. | a metsulfuron-methyl-resistant yeast strain, jhl(t), was isolated from metsulfuron-methyl-contaminated soil collected in jiangsu province, china. through morphological and physiological analysis as well as a molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the 26s rrna gene d1/d2 region and internal transcribed spacer (its), this strain, which forms a clade with candida vartiovaarae and a teleomorphic species, williopsis saturnus, was revealed to represent a novel species in the genus candida. the name ... | 2009 | 19406825 |
| exophiala asiatica, a new species from a fatal case in china. | we describe a new species, exophiala asiatica, isolated from an infection of the pharynx in a 20-year-old, immunocompetent woman in nanjing, china. the infection was initiated by a fishbone prick in the pharynx, soon developed with facial nodules but subsequently seemed to have disappeared. tonsil ulceration with progressive soreness of the pharynx was observed 3 years later. dysphagia, headache and paralysis occurred four years after first signs of infection. hyphae and yeast-like cells were de ... | 2009 | 19107634 |

| selenium chemoprevention of liver cancer in animals and possible human applications. | an inverse correlation between geographic distribution of liver cancer incidence and the selenium (se) contents of whole blood and grains was observed in qidong county, jiangsu province, a high liver cancer area of the people's republic of china. animal experiments demonstrated that supplementation of se reduced the incidence of liver cancer in rats exposed to aflatoxin b1. se was also shown to inhibit the growth of transplanted tumors. a lower incidence of liver preneoplastic alterations and re ... | 1988 | 2484521 |
| a preliminary report on the intervention trials of primary liver cancer in high-risk populations with nutritional supplementation of selenium in china. | the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of selenium (se) in the prevention of human primary liver cancer. three intervention trials were conducted among the residents at high risk to primary liver cancer (plc) in qidong county, jiang-su province, the people's republic of china. this area has the second highest rate of plc in china. one trial was undertaken among the general population in a township with supplement of table salt fortified with 15 ppm anhydrous sodium selenite (se-sal ... | 1991 | 1726411 |
