7.5). Overall,the research demonstrates the effect of environmental parameters (temperature and carbon source) on AHL profile production by food-derived Pseudomonas. It lays the foundation for further investigation to elucidate the relationship between quorum sensing and food spoilage,and for the development of new food preservative by blocking the quorum sensing of food spoilage bacteria.

Three Gram-negative bacteria from commercial fresh fish were identified as Pseudomonas sp.,an important food spoilage bacteria, on the basis of 16S rDNA sequences.N-aeyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) were the important quorum sensing molecules and regulated the expression of many characteristics in a cell-density-dependent manner in Gram-negative bacteria.The AHL biosensor detection revealed that three isolates produced AHLs molecules and strains FML05-1 and FML05-2 produced two types of AHLs at least and the main signal mole- cules were N-3-oxo-octanoyl-homoserine lactone(N-3-oxo-C_8-AHL).ALso the amount of AHL in FML05-2 reached to the maximum at 12h throughout growth.This was first study of quorum sensing signal molecule AHLs produced by the pseudomonas from food and layed the foun- dation for new strategies of food preservation based on interfering in quorum sensing of spoilage bacteria.

Objective To observe the effect of combined therapy of external point application and herbal concentrate-granules on patients with asthma (hot wheezing in TCM).Methods 60 patients suffering from onset period of bronchial asthma were randomized to a control group and a treatment group.The control group was given budesonide inhaler and theophylline sustained release tablets.The treatment group was given combined therapy of external point application and herbal concentrate-granules.The course of treatment was 10 days.To observe the value ofFEV1％,ACT scores and TCM syndrome scores etc.Results After treatment,the value of FEV 1％ [treatment group:(82.83 ± 11.35) ％,control group:(83.85 ± 16.72) ％] and ACT [treatment group:(19.86±2.32),control group:(19.66±2.54)] in both groups were markedly increased with statistical significance (P＜0.01); and the difference between the two groups were also significant; TCM syndrome scoring [treatment group:(4.27±3.65),control group:(5.05±4.14)] was notably decreased in both groups compared with the values before the treatment with statistical significance (P＜0.01); but the difference between the two groups was not significant (P＞0.05).Conclusion The combined therapy of external point application and herbal concentrate-granules can treat bronchial asthma in the acute clinical course and improve lung function.

12 strains of H2-producing bacteria were isolated and purified from anaerobic sludge, aerobic sludge and river bottom sludge by Hungate method. A new species of high efficient hydrogen production bacterium Enterococcus sp. LG1 (registration number: EU258743 ) was studied deeply. It was showed that the Enterococcus sp. LG1 was an anaerobic and Gram-negative bacterium. Sequence analysis of this type of clones showed that it was affiliated with the genus Enterococcus and it was not reported yet in other paper at present. Meanwhile, batch tests of anaerobic fermentative hydrogen production by Enterococcus sp. LG1 were investigated by using sterilization pretreated sludge as substrate. The changes of soluble COD, protein, carbohydrate and pH value during hydrogen fermentation were monitored. It was found that only hydrogen and carbon dioxide were produced by this strain and no methane was detected during fermentation. The maximal hydrogen yield was 36.48 mL/g TCOD and the hydrogen concentration in the gas phase was 73.5%. The Enterococcus sp. LG1 was a butyrate fermentation bacteria analyzed by metabolites.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of multiple stents placement in the management of hilar cholangiocarcinoma,especially in the complex cases of which the hepatic ducts are invaded.Methods Forty-five consecutive patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma were treated with percutaneous transhepatic placement of two or three self-expandable metallic endoprostheses.The cause of hilar obstructions in these patients were all cholangiocarcinoma,including Bismuth classification type Ⅱ(n 12 ),Ⅲa(n 17),Ⅲb(n 10),and Ⅳ(n 6).Two or 3 stents were placed in the configuration of T,Y or X over the strictures.Results Stent placement with 2 or 3 endoprostheses was successful in all patients.All patients showed significant decrease in serum bilirubin level.The mortality rate within 30 days of stent placement was 2.2%(1/45).The mean survival and stent patency times were 215.3 d(26— 516 d)and 181.5 d(26—473 d),respectively.Conclusion Deploying of multiple metallic stents is an effective method to treat complex hilar cholangiocarcinoma,especially for the cases of which hepatic ducts are invaded:the henatic ducts should be drained as much as nossible.

After target blood glucose (HbA1C,fasting plasma glucose),serum lipid profiles (total cholesterol,triglyeeride) and control of blood pressure were achieved in 532 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the level of serum uric acid was significantly decreased and the number of case of hyperuricacidemia also reduced (all P<0.01).

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of adiponectin (APN) and retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods 95 newly diagnosed T2DM patients and 55 non-diabetic volunteers from health examination population were studied. The serum concentrations of APN and RBP4 were determined by ELISA. The levels of plasma glucose, lipid profiles and insulin were also measured in fasting samples. Insulin sensitivity was assessed by insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR). The control group and diabetic group were divided into ≥60 years subgroup and <60 years subgroup respectively. According to the guideline designed by Chinese Diabetes Society(CDS)in 2004, the control group and diabetic group were divided into different kinds of abnormal metabolism groups. Results (1)The level of APN was significantly decreased in diabetic group compared with the control group[(7.26±4.69)mg/L vs. (11.93±4.89)mg/L], while the serum level of RBP4 in diabetic group was obviously higher than that in control group[(16.48±7.82) mg/L vs. (10.91±5.26) rag/L]. (2) The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in diabetic group was higher than that in control group (46.3% vs. 7.3%). (3)APN level was decreased with the increasing number of components of MS, and RBP4 level was increased with the increasing number of components of MS. (4) In DM group, APN level was correlated negatively with MS, waist circumference and BMI, and RBP4 level was correlated positively with waist circumference, HOMA-IR, BMI and TG. Conclusions APN and RBP4 levels are significantly associated with metabolic syndrome. Hypoadiponectinemia and higher retinal binding protein 4 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of MS.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cytomegalovirus infection and biliary atresia.Methods Sixteen infants with CMV infection and biliary atresia were retrospectively reviewed and compared with clinical manifestations with 29 infants with CMV hepatitis.Results Both serum CMV-IgM antibody and CMV-pp65 in polymophnuclear leukocytes were found positive in 9 cases,only CMV IgM antibody was found positive in 1 case and only CMV-pp65 were found positive in 3 cases,both CMV-IgM and CMV-pp65 were found negative in 3 cases.14 of 15 cases of CMV-pp65 were detected in liver tissues including 3 cases with negative CMV-IgM antibody and CMV-pp65 in blood.The clinical indexes in these 16 cases were much more severe than which in 29 infants with CMV hepatitis (P
