Transcription of turbot Scophthalmus maximus Mx gene induced by polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid given in different ways

以POlyI∶C(又称聚肌胞)为诱导剂,分别通过腹腔注射、浸泡和投喂3种途径诱导大菱鲆SCOPHTHAlMuS MAXIMuS体内抗病毒蛋白MX基因的转录,利用半定量rT-PCr方法检测干扰素下游基因-MX基因的转录水平来确定该诱导剂的诱导效果。结果显示,以上3种途径都能高效诱导MX蛋白MrnA的转录,均在48H之后达到高峰,其中以浸泡的方式更容易诱导MX基因转录,且在120H时仍保持较高水平。MX基因转录的时相变化证明了国产POlyI∶C可以通过多种途径诱导抗病毒蛋白MX的表达,为实际应用中确定用药途径提供了理论依据。另外,实验初步建立了半定量rT-PCr方法,为检测鱼体内干扰素的表达提供了技术方法。Transcription of turbot Mx protein confirmed to be an antivirus factor was induced by PolyI∶C with intraperitoneal injection,immersion and oral administration.Mx mRNA was tested by semi-quantitative RT-PCR to validate the effect of PolyI∶C’s induction.The results illustrated that all the three induction ways could effectively induce the transcription of Mx gene and the peak of Mx mRNA quantity appeared at 48h after PolyI∶C application.The immersion method seemed to be the most effective way to induce Mx mRNA,as Mx mRNA could last more than 120h at a high level.This experiment proved that the homemade PolyI∶C could effectively induce Mx mRNA transcription in different applications,which provided a reference to use PolyI∶C in aquaculture practice.国家863计划(2003AA622070);国家十一五科技支撑计划(2006BAD09A11);行业专项(nyhyzx07-046)共同资

Prediction of Energy Resolution in the JUNO Experiment

International audienceThis paper presents the energy resolution study in the JUNO experiment, incorporating the latest knowledge acquired during the detector construction phase. The determination of neutrino mass ordering in JUNO requires an exceptional energy resolution better than 3% at 1 MeV. To achieve this ambitious goal, significant efforts have been undertaken in the design and production of the key components of the JUNO detector. Various factors affecting the detection of inverse beta decay signals have an impact on the energy resolution, extending beyond the statistical fluctuations of the detected number of photons, such as the properties of liquid scintillator, performance of photomultiplier tubes, and the energy reconstruction algorithm. To account for these effects, a full JUNO simulation and reconstruction approach is employed. This enables the modeling of all relevant effects and the evaluation of associated inputs to accurately estimate the energy resolution. The study reveals an energy resolution of 2.95% at 1 MeV. Furthermore, the study assesses the contribution of major effects to the overall energy resolution budget. This analysis serves as a reference for interpreting future measurements of energy resolution during JUNO data taking. Moreover, it provides a guideline in comprehending the energy resolution characteristics of liquid scintillator-based detectors

JUNO Sensitivity on Proton Decay p→νˉK+p\to \bar\nu K^+ Searches

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this paper, the potential on searching for proton decay in $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits to suppress the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ is 36.9% with a background level of 0.2 events after 10 years of data taking. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel

Determination of the number of ψ(3686) events taken at BESIII

The number of ψ(3686) events collected by the BESIII detector during the 2021 run period is determined to be (2259.3±11.1)×106 by counting inclusive ψ(3686) hadronic events. The uncertainty is systematic and the statistical uncertainty is negligible. Meanwhile, the numbers of ψ(3686) events collected during the 2009 and 2012 run periods are updated to be (107.7±0.6)×106 and (345.4±2.6)×106, respectively. Both numbers are consistent with the previous measurements within one standard deviation. The total number of ψ(3686) events in the three data samples is (2712.4±14.3)×10^

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this study, the potential of searching for proton decay in the $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated.
