Objective With the sole object of glycyrrhizic acid products,the methods were investigated for Glycyrrhiza uralensis genomic DNA transformation into Hansenula anomala by nitrogen and argon ion implantation.Methods The genomic DNA from G.uralensis was randomly transferred into H.anomala by nitrogen and argon ion bombardment.The recombined yeasts were cultured by the slant and liquid cultivation,in which the contents of glycyrrhizic acid and glycyrrhetic acid were determined by acetic anhydried-H2SO4 qualitative test and RP-HPLC determination.Results Five recombined yeast strains that produced glycyrrhizic acid and glycyrrhetic acid were obtained.After cultured in liquid medium for 96 h,the highest content of glycyrrhizic acid in the cultivation liquid was 114.49 mg/L and that of 18?-glycyrrhetic acid and 18?-glycyrrhetic acid were respectively 0.56 and 0.81 mg/L by RP-HPLC.A kind of unknown red component was found in the cultivation liquid of one recombined strain by TLC.Conclusion The recombined yeast strains of producing glycyrrhizic acid could be obtained G.uralensis genomic DNA transformation into yeast mediated by the ion implantation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the risk stratification of cardiovascular diseases and the outcome of 64-slice helical computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography. Methods A total of 470 cases suspected to have coronary heart disease were enrolled.They all received 64-slice MSCT coronary angiography, and they were divided into groups according to the range of disease, degree of calcium scoring, degree of stenosis and characteristic of plaque. Among them, 80 patients underwent both MSCT and selective coronary angiography (CAG) at one time, and they were grouped according to the range of disease and degree of stenosis. All the 470 cases were classified as five levels according to the risk stratification of cardiovascular diseases. The lesions of coronary artery in different risk stratifications were observed, and the correlations were analyzed.Results In the 80 patients who underwent both MSCT and selective CAG, there were no significant differences in the range of coronary artery diseases(χ2=3.631, P=0.067) and coronary arterystenosis (χ2=1.639, P=0.200) between MSCT and CAG. Along with the increased level of the risk stratification, there were the more ranges of the coronary artery diseases (λvery high risk. multi-vessel disease=1.09,λhigh risk. double-vessel disease=0.91, λlow-risk. single-vessel disease=1.07)and the more degrees of coronary artery stenosis(λvery high risk. severe stenosis=0.96,λhigh risk. moderate stenosis=1.03,λlow-risk. mild stenosis=0.78). The degrees of calcium scoring in different risk stratifications of cardiovascular diseases showed significantly differences (F=256.20,123.76,62.50, 98. 24,52.36,P＜0.01). There was the highest percentage of soft plaque in very high risk patients.Higher percentages of fiber plaque, calcified plaque and mixed plaque were found in moderate risk and low risk patients(λvery high risk. soft plaque=1.01,λlow-risk. calcium plaques=1.17). Conclusions The 64-slice MSCT coronary angiography could provide a basis for assessing risk stratification of cardiovascular diseases. The complicated coronary artery disease, moderate-severe calcification, more severe stenosis, higher percentage of soft plaque are found in the very high risk patients. The lower level of the risk stratification is found in patients with the less range of the coronary artery disease and less severe degree of the coronary artery calcification and stenosis. The calcified plaque and mixed plaque are found in moderate risk and low risk patients.
