High efficient dyes decolorizing bacterium, strain S12~T, was isolated from activated-sludge of textile-printing wastewater treatment plant. The strain was identified as a novel specie of the genus Shewanella, for which the name Shewanella decolorationis sp. nov. is proposed. It's decolorizing rate reached 96% in 4h, when 50mg/L of azo dye was used. The organism exhibited a remarkable color removal capability, even at azo dye's concentration of 2,000mg/L. A clear decolorizing zone around each colonies appeared after four days grown on LB plate containing 500mg/L azo dye. The changes of UV-visible spectra of azo dye solution indicate that the color removal was largely attributed to biodegradation. The decolorizing enzymes of strain S12~T were constitute type and not secreted to the culture medium.

Biological process is the important approach to treat the dye pollutants.This paper gives a systematic introduction to the three types of important dyes,azo dyes,triphenylmethane dyes and anthraquinone dyes,including azo reduction and mechanism under anaerobic and aerobic conditions,advances of triphenylmethane dyes and anthraquinone dyes biodegradation.

Objective To investigate the effect of forced-air warming system on the cellular immune function during radical esophagus cancer resection. Methods Thirty-six ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes, aged ≤ 64 yr, with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2 , scheduled for elective radical esophagus cancer resection, were randomized to 2 groups ( n = 18 each): normal temperature care group (group C) and forced-air wanning group (group T) . Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, sufentanil, propofol and vecuronium. The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated. The patients were not warmed intraoperatively in group C. In group T, the patients were prewarmed for 20 min at 43℃, using forced-air warming system before induction and then kept warm until the end of operation. The nasopharyngeal temperature was measured at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after anesthesia induction and at the end of operation (T1-6 ) to reflect the body temperature. Venous blood samples were taken at T1,6 for analysis of T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3+ , CD4+ , CD8+ , CD4+ /CD8+ ) and NK cells (by flow cytometry) and determination of the plasma concentrations of noradrenaline and adrenaline (by ELISA) . Results Compared with T1 , the body temperature was significantly decreased at T2-6 in group C, and the percentage of CD4+ cells and CD4+ /CD8+ ratio were significantly decreased and the percentage of CD8+ and plasma concentrations of noradrenaline and adrenaline increased at T6 in both groups ( P ＜ 0.05). Compared with group C, the body temperature was significantly increased at T2-6, plasma concentrations of noradrenaline and adrenaline were significantly increased at T, , while the change rate of concentrations was significantly decreased in group T ( P ＜ 0.05) . ConclusionThe efficiency of forced-air warming system in maintaining perioperative normothermia is good and it reduces the stress response, but it exerts no influence on the cellular immune function in patients undergoing radical esophagus cancer resection.

Objective To investigate the effect of L-N6-(1-iminoethyl) Lysine(L-NIL) on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) -induced lung injury in a rat model of lung transplantation. Methods Pathogen free male SD rats weighing 250-350g were used as donor and recipient rats in this study. The animals were randomly divided into 3groups (n = 6 each): sham operation group (group S); lung tratsplantation group (group L) and lung transplantation + L-NIL (selective iNOS inhibitor) group (group L-NIL). In group L and L-NIL orthotopic left lung allograft transplantation was performed. In group L-NIL 3 mg/kg was injected iv at the beginning of reperfusion. The donor lungs were removed from live donor rats and placed in Euro-collins solution at 4 ℃. The lung transplantation was performed under microscope and non-suture cuff technique was used. The implanted donor lungs were ventilated and reperfused. 0.5% Evans blue 0.2 ml was injected iv during reperfusion. The donor lungs were removed after being implanted, ventilated and reperfused for 2 h for microscopic examination and determination of iNOS, endothelial NOS (eNOS) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) and Evans blue content in the lung tissue and W/D lung weight ratio. Results Lung transplantation significantly inceased W/D ratio, iNOS and MPO activity, and Evans blue and MDA content in the lung tissue and decreased eNOS activity in group L as compared with group S. L-NIL iv significantly attenuated the increase in the variables mentioned above and ameliorated capillary congestion and inflammatory cell infiltration in the lung. Conclusion Intravenous L-NIL administered at the beginning of reperfusion can reduce I/R injury to the transplanted donor lungs.

Objective To explore the method of anesthesia and intra-operative management for robotic thoracic surgery. Methods Twelve patients who underwent robotic thoracic surgery using the Da Vinci surgical system were anesthetized with general anesthesia combined with T4-8 paravertebral block. After induction of anesthesia, a double-lumen endotracheal tube was positioned by bronchofibroscope to allow onelung ventilation during intra-operative procedure. Hemodynamics and respiratory function were routinely monitored and arterial blood gas (ABG) were tested during operation. Results All patients could tolerate the anesthesia for robotic thoracic surgery and there was no hospital mortality. The arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) and arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) after induction were (35.2 ± 3.6) mm Hg( 1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) and (213.3 ± 57.5) mm Hg respectively; PaCO2 and PaO2 30 min after one -lung ventilation were (37.9 ± 4.8) mm Hg and ( 125.3 ± 36.5) mm Hg respectively. When the one-lung ventilation started about 58% (7/12) of the patient developed temporarily low SpO2 (over 0.90) and recovered to 0.95 soon when using 3 - 5 cm H2O( 1 cm H2O = 0.098 kPa) positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). The anesthesia time was ( 291.5 ± 99.4) min, the time for one-lung ventilation was (206.3 ± 93.4) min, the volume of blood loses in operation was ( 171.7 ± 110.3 ) ml and the tracheal catheter extration time was ( 16.3 ± 4.5 ) min, all the patients left ICU on the second day after surgery. Conclusions The anesthesia for robotic thoracic surgery with Da Vinci surgical system is multiplicity, the hemodynamics and respiratory function can be instable, it is a new challenge for the technology and management of anesthesia. Good one-lung ventilation is important for this surgery, ventilation parameter need to be adjusted when hypoxia occurred and PEEP could be used to the ventilated lung. General anesthesia combined with paravertebral block will be a good option for postoperative pain control and minimal hemodynamics disturb ance.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different doses of compound Xuelian capsule on bone cancer pain (BCP) in rats.Methods Fifty pathogen-free adult female Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-220 g,aged 7-8 weeks,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =10 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),group BCP,and compound Xuelian capsule 50,100 and 200 mg · kg-1 · d-1 groups (group CX50,group CX100 and group CX200).BCP was produced by injecting Walker256 mammary gland carcinoma cells into the intramedullary space of the right femur bone.At 11-21 days after inoculation of the tumor ceils,normal saline containing compound Xuelian capsule 50,100 and 200 mg · kg 1 · d 1 was injected through a tube into stomach once a day in CX50,CX100 and CX200 groups,respectively.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and limb use score were measured at 1 day before inoculation of the tumor cells (baseline) and 4,7,11,14,17,19,and 21 days after inoculation of the tumor cells.Results Compared with group S,the MWT at 4-21 days after inoculation of the tumor cells was significantly decreased,and limb use score was significantly decreased at 11-21 days after inoculation of the tumor cells in BCP,CX50,CX100 and CX200 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group BCP,the MWT was significantly increased at 19-21 days after inoculation in group CX50,at 17-21 days after inoculation in group CX100 and at 14-21 days after inoculation in group CX200,and limb use score was significantly increased at 14-21 days after inoculation in group CX100 and at 17-21 days after inoculation in group CX200 (P＜0.05).Conclusion Compound Xuelian capsule 50,100 and 200 mg· kg 1 · d 1 (for 11 consecutive days) can reduce BCP in a dose-dependent manner in rats.

Objective The normothermic isolated contracting rat heart model was used to investigate the mechanism of protective effect of propofol on left ventricular function and myocardial metabolism against ischemia-reperfusion injury by determination of the catecholamme concentration in the coronary outflow. Methods forty healthy male SD rats weighing 310-450 g were randomly divided into 4 groups of each 10 animals: control group, propofol 10?mol/L (P10), 50?mol/L (P50) and 100?mol/L (P100). The animal were sacrificed by knock-out and the heart was immediately removed. The aorta was connected to a Larigendorff apparatus and retrogradely perfused with oxygenated (95% O, and 5% CO2) Krebs-Henseleit buffer (KHB) for 5 min. Then the left ventricle was perfused through a cannula inserted in pulmonary vein at a constant pressure of 12.5 cm H2O (preload). The pressure at aorta outflow was 90 cm H2O (afterload). Different concentrations of propofol in KHB were prepared. Global ischemia of the heart was induced by suspension of perfusion for 25 min followed by 30 min reperfusion. Coronary flow (CF), aortic flow (AF), cardiac output (CO = AF + CF), HR, left ventricular peak systolic pressure (LVPSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP = LVPSP-LVEDP) and the product of LVDP and HR were measured and recorded 5 min and immediately before ischemia and 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min following reperfusion. Coronary outflow was collected for determination of creatine kinase (CK) and catecholamine ( epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine) concentrations.Results Before ischemia CF was significantly higher and CO, HR, LVPSP and LVDP ? HR were significantly lower in the 3 propofol groups in comparison with the controls. During reperfusion CF, CO, HR, LVPSP and LVEDP recovered much better in the propofol groups than those in control group. In group P50 LVDP ? HR reached 88.7% of the pre-ischemic value while in control group only 56.3% . The CK and catecholamine concentrations were not significantly different among the 4 groups before ischemia. During reperfusion CK, epinephrine and noeepinepherine concentrations were significantly lower in propofol groups than in control group (P
