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.

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 current clinical application of domestic tirofiban in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to explore its safety profile focused on the common causes and correlation factors for the hemorrhagic events.Methods The patients diagnosed as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and medium to high risk non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)/ unstable angina(UA) in 15 hospitals from September 2009 to December 2011 and given domestic tirofiban,were enrolled in this study.The following data were carefully collected:demographic data,comorbidities,concomitant medications,laboratory data,interventional treatment,application of tirofiban,hemorrhagic events and major adverse cardiac events(MACE) in hospital and at day 30 after discharge.Results (1) A total of 927 patients were enrolled in the study.The domestic tirofiban was given to 241 subjects (26.0%) before the intervention,567 subjects (61.2%) during the intervention and 89 subjects (9.6%) after the intervention.The standardized application was performed in 737 subjects (79.5%) with the loading dose of 10 μg/kg and the maintenance dose of 0.15 μg · kg-1 · min-1 In all the subjects,the average maintenance time was (30.4 ± 14.2) hours with the average dose of (339.3 ± 182.9)ml.(2)During hospitalization,major bleeding happened in 4 cases(0.4%) and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in 37 cases (4.0%).(3)At day 30 after discharge,1 cases (0.1%)was reported with major bleeding and 9 cases (1.0%) with MACE.(3)The least MACE was showed in the preoperative tirofiban group (2.5%) and followed by the intraoperative group (4.1%) and the postopcrative group (9.0%).Compared with the non-standardized application group,MACE was significantly decreased in the standardized application group (2.44% vs 10.00%,P < 0.05).Conclusions The standardized application of the domestic tirofiban could decrease the incidence of MACE.Taken into account the combination therapy of clopidogrel and aspirin in the vast majority of patients,the domestic tirofiban exhibits a good safety profile with a relatively lower incidence of bleeding than the similar clinical studies.

BACKGROUND:The risk of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis was high in patients with bone metastases. Major surgery is a major risk factor for thrombosis. There was no standard prophylactic regimen available.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the efficacy and safety of low molecular weight heparins versus rivaroxaban in the postoperative prevention of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in patients with bone metastases.
METHODS:From January 2010 to December 2013, a total of 73 patients with bone metastasis in spine, pelvis and lower extremities, who underwent open surgery in the Department of Musculoskeletal Tumor, Third Hospital, Hebei Medical University, China, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into low molecular weight heparins group (n=41) and rivaroxaban group (n=32) according to the prophylactic drugs after surgery.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nine cases (22%) in the low molecular weight heparins group were found lower extremity deep venous thrombosis, and six cases (19%) in the rivaroxaban group suffered from lower extremity deep venous thrombosis, showing no significant differences (χ2=0.11, P=0.74). The incidences of bleeding events in both groups were respectively 7.32%and 6.25%, showing no significant differences (correctionχ2=0.083, P>0.05). There were no significant differences regarding the levels of platelet, activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time between both groups preoperatively or postoperatively (P>0.05). Therefore, the efficacy and safety of low molecular weight heparins and rivaroxaban in the postoperative prevention of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis were similar. Both could effectively reduce the incidence of deep venous thrombosis, with a relative low risk of bleeding.
