Biosurfactant is a high surface active agent synthesized by microorganism Compared with chemical surfactant, biosurfactant has a low toxicity to ecological system of Earth So biosurfactant is gradually applied to many aspects of environmental pollution control A review is made from several aspects: screening of biosurfactant producing microorganism, optimization of culture brooth, isolation of biosurfactant et al In addition, on the foundation of the analysis, several suggestions about the development of biosurfactant are proposed in the end

Objective To investigate the application value of methylene blue excretion test in early reasonable nutritional support for severe traumatic brain injury.Methods One hundred and thirty-three cases of severe traumatic brain injury admitted to hospital from January 2010 to June 2012 were chosen as treatment group,while the 127 cases of similar patients admitted to hospital from January 2007 to December 2009 were chosen as control group.Patients in treatment group underwent methylene blue excretion test in 3 days,8 days,15 days after injury,and the nutritional support ways were determined according to the elimination time of methylene blue in patients' urine.The control group conventionally receive enteral nutrition support therapy firstly,after 15 days if they still cannot be tolerant of the enteral nutrition,then parenteral nutrition therapy were adopted.The weight,serum albumin and hemoglobin circumstances of the two groups were determined and the complications were recorded.Glasgow coma score (GCS) of 3 months after injury were followed up.Results There was no significant difference on the average body weigh between these two groups before treatment.The average body weight of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group after 3 months treatment((56.3 ± 5.5) kg vs.(52.6 ± 5.3) kg,t =5.93,P ＜ 0.01).The serum albumin and hemoglobin of 14 d,21 d after injury were significantly higher than those of the control group (serum albumin of 14 d:(32.7 ±3.4) g/L vs.(28.8 ±3.1) g/L; serum albumin of 21 d:(34.3 ±3.8) g/L vs.(30.7 ±3.3) g/L;hemoglobin of 14 d:(113.4±12.5) g/L vs.(102.2 ±11.6) g/L;hemoglobin of 21 d:(118.5 ±13.3) g/L vs.(106.7 ± 12.4) g/L.Nutritional status of treatment group was significantly better than that of the control groupall P ＜ 0.05).After three months,the effective rate of treatment group (93.23％ (124/133)) was significantly higher than that of the control group (84.25％ (107/127)),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =5.29,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Determining the early reasonable nutrition support ways for patients with severe traumatic brain injury according to the elimination time of methylene blue in the urine,can provide comprehensive nutrition to patients,enhance their body resistance,reduce the incidence of complications,and create an important clinical value for improving prognosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of early application of nimodipine on a large area cerebral infarction after severe traumatic brain injury operation.Methods Fifty-one patients with severe head injury after large area cerebral infarction were as treatment group who hospitalized from January 2009 to January 2012,and 48 hospitalized cases as the control group from January 2005 to January 2008.The patients in control group were received drugs to decrease intracranial pressure,and enhance nerve nutrition therapy,while in the treatment group,beside the therapy method of control group,were received nimodipine intravenously by micro-pump for 10 days,and then oral administration for 10 days.Plasma endothelin-1 was detected at 0,5th,7th,14th day days after hospitalization.Dopple was pplied to record the middle cerebral artery (MCA) peak systolic velocity(Vp) of the injured side for 7 d.Glasgow outcome score(GOS) was recorded in the 3 months follow-up.The awakening time was recorded consciousness.Results At 21 st day after treatment,22 cases were died in the treatment group and survival patients with cerebral vasospasm were 14 cases (48.28％,14/29).However,30 cases were died in control group and cerebral vasospasm(CVS) of survival patients was 15 cases (83.33％,15/18),significantly higher than that in treatment group (x2 =5.78,P ＜ 0.05).The variable tendencies of Vp,plasma endothelin-1 and the intracranial pressure were significantly different between the treatment group and the control group (Vp:F group =276.27,Ftime =603.54,F interactive =85.68 ; plasma endothelin-1:F grouP =281.16,F time =608.32,F interactive =87.45 ; intracranial pressure:F grouP =326.58,F time =78.63,F interactive =27.39 ; P ＜ 0.05).Mter 3 months of treatment,the value of GOS was significandy higher in treatment group than that of control group (x2 =4.76,P ＜ 0.05).Furthermore through three months treatment,the effective rate in treatment group was higher than that in the control group (52.94％ (27/51) vs.(31.25％ (15/48)),the awakening periods was shorter than that in control group((20.7 ±6.5) d vs.(27.8 ± 7.6) d,t =3.19,P ＜ 0.05)).Conclusion Early applications of nimodipine treatment after severe traumatic brain injury patients with massive cerebral infarction can significantly improve the clinical efficacy and shorten the duration of coma.

Objective To sum up the clinical characteristics and the diagnostic and therapeutic principle of severe hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage complicated with gastroparesis.Methods The clinical data of 51 patients with severe hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage complicated with gastroparesis were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the patients who died,3 died of over-severe hemorrhage,and 1 died of acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by aspiration,as well as one died of respiratory failure resulting from pulmonary infection after aspiration.None died of digestive tract complication.Twenty-one patients(41.18％) needed feeding via naso-intestinal tube.Thirty patients (58.82％) were recovered within two weeks and 14 patients (27.45％) were recovered within the third week,and those who recovered beyond three weeks accounted for 3.92％ (n =2).Conclusion The gastroparesis complicating severe hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage is considered as a functional disorder rather than mechanical obstruction.It is mainly on the basis of symptoms and signs in combination with gastroscopy or radiography that the diagnosis can be made.The conservative treatment (including nasal feeding in some patients) should be applied to the disorder.

Bacillus alcalophilus DTY1, one moderate halophytic bacterium isolated from saline soil in Loess Plateau of China, was characterized with efficient production of ectoine. In this study, the gene cluster ectABC taking in charge of biosynthesizing ectoine was cloned from the genomic library of strain DTY1. Nucleotide sequencing indicated that ectA, ectB and ectC were predicted to encode peptides of 169, 428 and 132 amino acids, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequences of EctA, EctB and EctC share 59%, 81% and 81% identity to 2,4-diaminobutyric acid acetyltransferase, 2,4-diaminobutyric acid transaminase and ectoine synthase of B. halodurans C-125, respectively. A fragment containing ectABC genes was introduced into B. cereus Z, which made the transgenic Z cells increased tolerance to salt, remarkably. HPLC analysis of ectoine in the transgenic Z cells revealed that 70.1 mg/g ectoine was detected in 1.0% NaCl medium and 118.6 mg/g ectoine in 5.0% NaCl medium. Furthermore, as the concentration of salt increased, transgenic Z cells accumulated more ectoine. These results suggest that ectoine is an important facet in B. alcalophilus DTY1 to high-osmolarity surroundings, and the expression of ectABC is induced by salt strength.
