Based on the assessment of protease (acid,neutral and alkaline protease) activity and amylase activity (?- amylase and ?- amylase),one Aspergillus oryzae K61 was selected from five wild Aspergillus oryzae which are original from spontaneous fermented soybean paste.One Aspergillus oryzae Y29 was screened with ultraviolet radiation.The Aspergillus oryzae Y29 can produce higher protease activity than original Aspergillus oryzae K61,and its hereditary stability is higher.Compared with Aspergillus oryzae 3.042,the Aspergillus oryzae Y29 showed higher protease activity,however,the both strains did not have significant difference on the amylase activity,growing speed of the strain and number of spore.Both strains were applied to producing soybean paste.The soybean that was produced by Aspergillus oryzae Y29 has full-bodied soybean paste flavor,and the soluble nitrogen (0.77g/100ml) is higher than the Aspergillus oryzae 3.042.

Tanshinones, the main bioactive compounds of Salvia miltiorrhiza, are the diterpenoid pigments, multiple genes were proved to be involved in their biosynthesis in plants. CYP76AH1 is the initial P450 gene in the tanshinones biosynthetic pathway, its function has been validated by yeast expression and in vitroenzymatic reaction. In order to clarify the function of CYP76AH1 in vivo, in this study, we constructedthe RNA interference of CYP7AH1 in S. miltiorrhiza hairy root. The RNA interference vector with a hairpin structure was constructed using the Gateway technology, and then the interference fragment was integrated into the genome of S. miltiorrhiza mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes. Several highly CYP76AH1 interference S. miltiorrhiza hairy roots were obtained for further analysis.

BACKGROUND:Autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate is often applied in patients from Department of Orthopedics and those with severe limb ischemia, but rarely applied in Department of Oral and Maxil ofacial Surgery, especial y in Department of Oral Implantology. The effect of autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate on promoting peri-implant bone regeneration deserves further studies.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of bone marrow aspirate concentrate in the repair of peri-implant bone defect.
METHODS:Bone marrow 5 mL was extracted from posterior superior iliac spine of experimental dogs and bone marrow cel s were counted before and after concentration. Bone defect (4 mm × 4 mm × 4 mm) was prepared in the middle of bilateral mandibular premolar, which was randomly implanted with gelatin sponge plus bone marrow aspirate concentrate, autologous bone and gelatin sponge. At 4 and 12 weeks after surgery, bone defect specimens were histological y observed. The new bone formation rate and new bone mineral density were calculated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After centrifugation, the concentrations of nucleated cel s in bone marrow aspirate concentrate were increased by (2.78±0.22) times. More colony-forming units were found after cel culture. Histological analysis showed that, significantly higher new bone formation rate and new bone mineral density occurred in gelatin sponge plus bone marrow aspirate concentrate group, compared with autologous bone group and gelatin sponge group at 4 weeks (P<0.05). The new bone formation rate in gelatin sponge plus bone marrow aspirate concentrate group was significantly lower than that of autologous bone group, and higher than that of gelatin sponge group at 12 weeks (P<0.05). However, the difference of new bone mineral density in the three groups was not significant (P>0.05). Autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate can significantly improve new bone mineral density and quantity in the pre-implant bone defect.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of achieving consistent image quality with dose reduction technology in lumber spine MSCT examination with Z-axis automatic tube current modulation (ATCM). Methods Forty-eight patients diagnosed as lumber intervertebral disc protrution scanned twice by MSCT before and after interventional operations with the same coverage from third lumbar vertebra to first sacral vertebra. The first scan (FM) was with fixed tube current of 320 mAs. The follow-up scan was with ATCM with noise index (NI) of 12.0 HU. At the levels of L3-4, L4-5 and 15-S1, image quality, image noise and radiation dose were measured and analyzed. Image quality and radiation dose were compared by paired t-test and the image noise was compared by ANOVA test. Results The dosage of the ATCM had a 31.3% reduction compared with FM, the average DLP was(187.9±66.4)mGy·cm and(273.4±45.4) mGy·cm respectively, where t = 8.205, P < 0.05. The average noise and their deviations for the FM group were (9.8±2.4) HU,(9.9±2.4) HU, and (11.5±3.2) HU at level of L3-4, L4-5, 15-S1, respectively. With ATCM, the average noise was(12.0±0.8) HU, (11.7±0.6) HU, and (11.7±1.4) HU, respectively. There was statistical difference between the two groups (F = 23.31, P < 0.05). The image quality scores for the FM group were (4.7±0.3), (4.5±0.2), (4.5±0.2) and showed no statistical difference to ATCM group (4.6±0.3), (4.5±0.2), (4.5±0.2) at level of L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1, respectively, where t = 1.000, P > 0.050 Conclusion ATCM technique with the noise index setting at 12.0 HU can achieved a 31.3% dose reduction while keep the consistent image quality for lumbar spine MSCT study.
