A cidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is a chemolithotrophic microorganism capable of using ferrous ions and sulphides as energy sources. This microorganism has an important role in the bioleaching of minerals. During this process, the bacteria are normally subjected to several stressing conditions, such as temperature changes, lack of nutrients or pH changes, which may affect the efficiency of the bacterial action. SELDI is a recent technology that allows for high-throughput proteomics studies. The Protein Chip SELDI technology was used to generate comparative protein profiles of A c idithiobacillus ferrooxidans grown under phosphate starvation or normal condition additionally adding Fe2+ as energy resource. There were 13 significantly differential expressed protein's peaks found by using SELDI Protein Chip technologies, which made a solid foundation for further isolation these low molecular proteins by adopting technologies such as HPLC etc.

To determine the efficacy and safety of Zhenjujiangya tablets combined with long-acting antihypertensive drugs in the patients with hypertension. Methods:A controlled study was carried out among 220 patients meeting the inclusion / ex-clusion criteria. All the patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. Both groups were treated with long-acting antihypertensive drugs as usual. The 110 patients in the experimental group were orally treated with Zhenjujiangya tab-lets ( bid) , while the other 110 patients in the control group were orally treated with Zhenjujiangya simulated tablets ( bid) , and the treatment course was 4 weeks. The efficacy was assessed using the reduction range of blood pressure, the clinical symptom score of hy-pertension and the indicators of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring as the indices, and the safety was assessed by the symptoms, signs and laboratory tests. Results:After the four-week treatment, the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and hyperten-sion clinical symptom score were significantly decreased in the two groups, and the changes in the experimental group were more signifi-cant than those in the control group (P<0. 01). The effect on the clinical symptom of the experimental group was better than that of the control group (P<0. 01). There was no significant difference in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and the number of abnormal blood pressure in 24h, daytime and nighttime (P>0. 05). After the treatment, the changes in average systolic blood pres-sure in 24h and daytime in the experimental group showed statistically significant difference (P<0.05),while those in the control group were without statistically significant difference (P>0. 05), and the number of abnormal blood pressure in 24h and daytime in the experimental group exhibited reduction trend. There were no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Long-acting antihypertensive drugs combined with Zhenjujiangya tablets can further improve the antihypertensive efficacy without significant adverse reactions, which is suitable for clinical application.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of the complex mixture of luteolin and rutin ( MLR) on 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin ( MPTP) induced Parkinson’ s disease ( PD) mouse model. Methods Seventy-two C57BL/6 mice were divided into six groups randomly ( n=12 in each group): the normal control , model control , madopar (50 mg·kg-1) group, MLR at low (140 mg·kg-1), middle (280 mg·kg-1) and high (560 mg·kg-1) dose groups. PD mouse models were established by intraperitoneal injection of MPTP ( 30 mg · kg-1 ) . Pole test and traction performance were recorded to access the body coordinate capability and strength. The tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine transport protein ( DAT) , and glial fibrillary acidic protein ( GFAP ) positive cells were detected by immunohistochemical method. Dopamine ( DA ) , dihydroxyphenylacetic acid ( DOPAC ) , homovanilic acid ( HVA ) , 5-hydroxytryptamine ( 5-HT ) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in striatum were quantified by HPLC-ECD. Results MLR significantly ameliorated mouse motor coordination ability (P<0. 01 or P<0. 05). MLR at 280 and 560 mg·kg-1 could increase TH-positive neurons by 69. 00%and 77. 95% compared with the normal control group (P<0. 01) and DAT-positive neurons by 68. 53% and 70. 40% compared with the normal control group(P<0. 05), and decrease GFAP-postive astrocyte reactivity. The treatment with MLR at three doses attenuated the monoamine neurotransmitter disorder. Conclusion MLR markedly improves MPTP caused movement coordinate ability injury in mice and exerts therapeutic action on PD by regulating neurotransmitters in brain, inhibiting the inflammatory reaction and alleviating the neuron injury.
