A strain of Prototheca species isolated from a case of meningitis was identified by routine morphologic and biochemical methods as well as amplification of the related genes, in which the 28S large-subunit (LSU) region of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene and intergenic space (ITS) were amplified with universal fungal primers. The small-subunit (SSU) rRNA gene was amplified with eukaryote-specific primers and Prototheca genus-specific primers. Then, compared the sequences with the ones posted on BLAST (www. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/BLAST). The organism choice giving the closest match, up to 99%, was considered the most likely correct identification. It was found that this strain of fungus grew well at 25 ℃ or 37 ℃. Smooth,moist colonies with white color were observed on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) and Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). Microscopically, globular or ovoid cells, a number of round, ovoid shaped endospores could be observed. No hypha, ascus or blastic conidia was found upon cultivation on SDA. Based on the morphological characteristics, this isolate could be identified as Prototheca species. The identity with Prototheca wickerhamii was 2.9 % as demonstrated by the API 20C AUX system. Sequence analysis showed that the ITS gene was proved to be a complex structural region which was not suitable for the identification of Prototheca species, but the LSU and SSU rDNA regions showed 94% and 99.9% sequence identities with Prototheca zopfii var. hydrocarbonea (P. zopfii var. hydrocarbonea) respectively, indicating that the SSU rRNA gene sequence might be more reliable on than the LSU rRNA gene sequence for identification of Prototheca species.

Siderophores were produced and secreted with marine microorganisms as the highly specific iron chelators. A method of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric detection coupled with solid phase extraction pretreatment was developed for the determination of siderophores in seawater. The samples were filtered through a 0. 22 μm membrane, extracted with an ENVI-18 cartridge and then eluted with methanol. The separation of the analytes was performed on a reversed phase SB-C18 column with a gradient elution program by using 0. 1% ( V/V) formic acid and methanol as the mobile phases. Qualitative analysis was performed in multiple-reaction monitoring mode. Good linearity (R2>0. 99) was obtained for Pyoverdines-Fe, Ferrichrome, Ferrioxamine E at the concentrations of 0. 001-3. 00 μg/mL, 0. 005-15. 00 μg/mL, 0. 001-3. 00 μg/mL, respectively. The instrumental detection limits and limits of quantification for the three analytes were 0. 08, 1. 76 and 1. 36 ng/mL; 0. 27, 5. 87 and 4. 53 ng/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviations were lower than 12%, while the recoveries were 12. 1%-18. 6% for Pyoverdines-Fe, 82. 0%-97. 7% for Ferrichrome, and 70. 0%-98. 3% for Ferrioxamine E.

Objective To compare the the effect of PCI on short term (3 months) left ventricular diastolic function in the old patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (≥ 65 years old). Methods 40 old AMI patients were divided into PCI group and non-operation group (pure medicine treatment group). The changes of left ventricular diastolic function were observed 3 months after operation which were compared with that before treatment so to define the effect of PCI. The major indexes were LA, LV, LVEF, E/A, and S/D. Results LA and LV in PCI group were not significandy changes but they were increased in non-operation group (P < 0.05). Although the left ventricular diastolic function in both group was continually impaird,it was better in PCI group than in non-operation greup(P <0.05). Conclusion PCI can prolong the progress of left heart remodeling and the excerbation of left ventricular diastolic function in old AMI patients.
