China Biotechnology 2006;0(01):-
Trypsin was purified from crude material of pig pancreas by AOT/isooctane reversed micellar system.The influence of the main operating parameters such as ethanol concentration in forward and backward extraction,pH,KCl and AOT concentration,temperature were investigated.Forward and backward extraction recovery of trypsin reached almost 90% and neared 100%,respectively.Finally,about 88% of total yield was obtained,and the specific activity of trypsin was increased to over 1800U/mg with purification factor of 5 folds more.In AOT-isooctane reverse micellar extraction system,denaturation or precipitation of proteins always occured due to strong electrostatic interaction between AOT-proteins molecules.It had been resolved by adding ethanol into reverse micellar system,and no denaturation was observed.Otherwise,the phase separation time was shortened significantly because of ethanol added.It was only 10 minutes or less to reach phases separation after forward and backward extraction.If this method can be applied in industry,efficiency will be greatly improved.

Guanylate-binding protein 1 (GBP1) is an interferon induced protein, that belongs to the guany late-binding protein family. GBP1 is widely involved in anti-infection immune responses, anti-tumor activity and various biological reactions. Recent studies have proved that IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, IFN-gamma, IL1alpha, IL1beta, TNF-alpha and LPS can induce GBP1 expression; hence, the diverse biological functions of GBP1 have been gradually deduced and exploited. Many studies have been performed over recent years to understand the exact mechanisms that underlie the anti-infection and anti-tumor properties of GBP1. This review describes the molecular structure, biological activity, anti-infective properties and other functions of GBP1, in order to provide insights into the divergent roles of GBP1 in the regulation of various biological processes.

Objective:To introduce a new method of root reconstruction for proximal repair of acute type A aortic dissection, and to retrospectively analyze its short-term efficacy.Methods:From January 2018 to October 2019, a total of 455 patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection received surgical treatment. Among them, 343 patients underwent double-jacket-wrapping(DJW) root reinforcement(11 patients underwent leaflet suspension), 81 patients underwent Bentall surgery, 15 Wheat operations, 12 untreated roots, and 4 David operations. Compared 343 patients who underwent double-jacket-wrapping root reconstruction and 81 patients who underwent Bentall surgery. The perioperative indicators and short-term survival of the two groups were compared.Results:No patients died intraoperatively. The 30-day mortality rate in the DJW group and the Bentall group were 10.5% and 7.4%, respectively( P=0.403); cardiopulmonary bypass time were(218.8±68.4) min and(240.2 ± 59.8), P=0.011; aortic clamp time were(150.6 ± 47.9) min and(181.3 ±45.6)min, P=0.000. There was no difference between the operation time and the deep hypothermia circulatory time between the two groups. The mean follow-up was(11.7±6.4) months. Seven and two follow-up deaths occurred in the DJW group and the Bentall group, respectively, and the cause of death was not related to the aortic root. The degree of aortic regurgitation after DJW was 0.7±0.5, which was significantly lower than that before surgery( P=0.000). Conclusion:Compared with Bentall surgery, DJW method is a safe and effective method for the repair of acute type A aortic dissection roots, which can obtain good perioperative and early curative effects.

Chemical constituents of Swertia patens. The whole plant of air-dried Swertia patens was extracted with 90% EtOH. The water extract was suspended in H₂O and extracted with petroleum ether, EtOAc and n-BuOH, successively. The compounds were isola- ted and purified by column chromatography from the EtOAc fraction, and identified based on spectral analyses (MS, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C- NMR). Eighteen compounds were isolated and elucidated as 3, 4-dihydro-1H,6H,8H-naptho [1,2-c:4,5-c', d'dipyrano-1, 8-dione (1), angelone (2), gentiogenal (3), erythricin (4), erythrocentaurin (5), gentianine (6), swertiakoside B (7), swertiamarin (8), 2'-O-actylswertiamarin (9), amarogentin (10), 1, 3, 5-trihydroxyxanthone (11), 1, 3-dihydroxy-5-methoxyxanthone (12), 1-hydroxy- 2, 3, 5-trimethoxyxanthone (13), gentiocrucine (14), 3-hydroxyphenylketone (15), n-hexacosyl ester 4-hydroxy-trans-cinnamate (16), n-hexacosyl ester 4-hydroxy-cis-cinnamate (17), and cholest-4-en-3-one (18).

Immobilized penicillin acylase was used for bioconversion of penicillin G into 6-APA in aqueous two-phase systems consisted of a light-sensitive polymer PNBC and a pH-sensitive polymer PADB.Partition coefficients of 6-APA was found to be:about 5.78,in the presence of 1% NaCl.Enzyme kinetic showed that reaction reached equilibrium at 7h or so.The 6-APA mole yields were 85.3%(pH 7.8,and 20 ℃) and this value was about 20%higher than control in reaction of single aqueous phase buffer.Partition coefficient of penicillin G(Na) washardly changeable,while partition coefficient of product,6-APA and phenylacetate acid was significantly changeable.Reason is due to Donnan effect of phase systems andhydrophobicity of products.The change of partition coefficients of products also affects bioconversion yield of products.In the aqueous two-phase systems,substrate,penicillin G,products 6-APA and phenylacetate acid are biased in top phase,while immobilized penicillin acylase is completely partitioned in bottom.Substrate,penicillin G enters into bottom phase,and it is catalyzed into 6-APA and phenylacetate acid,then the products enter into top phase.Finally,inhibition of substrate and products is removed to result in improvement of products yield.Moreover,immobilized enzymehashigher efficiency than immobilized cells and occupy smaller volume.Comparing with free enzyme,immobilized enzymehashigher stability,longer use life,completely partitioned in bottom phase and recycle.Bioconversion in two-phase systems using immobilized penicillin acylase showed outstanding advantage.The light-sensitive copolymer forming aqueous two-phase systems could be recovered by laser radiation at 488 nm or filtrated 450 nm light,while pH-sensitive polymer PADB could be recovered by isoelectric point(pH 4.1).The recovery of the two copolymers was 95%~99%.
