Protamex,flavorzyme and neutrase were used for bienzyme hydrolysis of Mytilus edulis.Protamex and flavorzyme were determined as the optimal hydrolases by analysis of hydrolysis effects.After bienzyme hydrolysis,ester forming yeast fermentation was used to prepare seasoner.The effects of fermentation of single or compound strains on the value of FAN were detected by formaldehyde titration method.The results showed that the value of FAN was 0.65% when the conditions of ester forming yeast 1274 were as follows:inoculation volume 5%(v/v),fermentation temperature 28℃ and culture time 72h after bienzyme hydrolysis;the value of FAN was 0.78% when the hydrolytic solution was fermented by compound strains including ester forming yeast 1274 and 1202 under the same fermentation conditions.After fermentation of ester forming yeast,the seasoner gave a full-bodied smell of ester with fermentation flavour.

Objective To explore the possibility of heterodimerization between orexin type 2α receptor (OX2αR) and orexin type 2β receptor (OX2βR).Methods Using confocal laser scanning microscope,enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) to study the interaction between OX2αR and OX2βR.Result Confocal laser scanning microscope and ELISA showed that OX2αR and OX2βR were both expressed in the cytoplasm.The FRET demonstrated that the signal of the experimental group (OX2αR-YFP+ OX2βR-CFP) was significantly stronger than that of control group (YFP+OX2βR-CFP).The BRET value of the experimental group (OX2αR-YFP+OX2βR-Rluc,mBRET ratio was 65± 15) was higher than that of control group (YFP+ OX2βR-Rluc/OX2αR-YFP+Rluc,mBRET ratio was 10±5) (P＜0.05).Conclusion There are heterodimerization between mOX2αR and mOX2βR.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effects of Dynesys system for the treatment of multiple segment lumbar degenerative disease.

METHODSA total of 28 patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease treated with Dynesys system from December 2008 to May 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 16 males and 12 females, aged from 27 to 75 years old with an average of 49.1 years. Thirteen patients with multiple segmental lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion, including L3-L5 in 7 cases, L2-L4 in 1 case and L4-S1 in 5 cases. Fifteen patients with multiple segmental lumbar spinal stenosis, including L3-L5 in 10 cases, L4-L5 in 4 cases and L2-S1 in 1 case. The symptoms of lumbago and (or) intermittent claudication in all patients were treated with conservative treatments for more than 6 months and these methods did not work. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to analyze the lumbar and leg pain, imaging data were used to measure the intervertebral space height and intervertebral motion of fixed segment and upper adjacent segment, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was used to evaluate the clinical effect.

RESULTSAll operations were successful and the patients were followed up from 38 to 65 months with an average 50.6 months. At final follow-up, ODI and VAS of the low back pain and leg pain were (25.10±6.52)%, (1.25±0.70) points and (1.29±0.89) points, respectively and were decreased compared with preoperative (P<0.05). Postoperative intervertebral space heights were increased and intervertebral motions were decreased in fixed segment compared with preoperative (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in intervertebral space heights and intervertebral motions of upper adjacent segment between preoperative and postoperative (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONDynesys system may obtain long-term clinical curative effect in treating multiple lumbar degenerative disease. It can partially preserve the intervertebral motions of the fixed segments, have little effect on adjacent segments. The long-term clinical effect of Dynesys still need longer time follow-up observation.

Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism(T-RFLP) is a resent molecular approach that can assess subtle genetic differences between strains as well as provide insight into the structure and function of microbial communities. This method overcomes the confinement of conventional culture-dependent methods and has both high sensitivity and throughput making it ideal for comparative analyses. Though there is still no application in our country, more and more investigators are highlighting it. In this article, the fundamental principle of this technique is introduced. The recent application and the development of this technique are also summed up .

In order to make students have integrative qualities and reform the shortage of former teaching methods in the food microbiology experiment,a new experiment teaching system was established,introducina the integrative and innovative experiment to the students gradually.The reformation of experiment in food microbiology has trained the students well and improved their special skills.Most important of all,it can offer them a chance to realize their own ideas.The students can design an innovative and integrative experiment to carry out their originalities.Good effects have been made since this system is very helpful to improve their consciousness of innovation and integrative abilities in doing experiments.

Objective To compare the curative effect of high ligation+exfoliation and subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery(SEPS)for superficial varicose veins in calf+invagination spot-striping surgery in great venous varicosity.Methods Study group(42 patients)accepted SEPS+invagination spot-striping surgery and control group (42 patients)accepted traditional surgeries.Operation duration,bleeding volume in operation,the time of beginning movement away from bed after operation,hospitalization duration,the degree of pain,the scar,the recrudescence af- ter operation and the instance of the ulcer heals of two groups were compared.Results Operation duration,bleeding volume in operation,the time of begin movement away from bed after operation and hospitalization durations of study group were significantly lower than those of control group(P0.05).All of the patients in study group recovered without severe syndromes such as venous thrombosis,skin necrosis,lower limb functional disorder etc.They had no recrudesce after 4～16 months and were satisfied with the curative effect.Con- elusions The clinical curative effect of SEPS+invagination spot-striping surgery in great venous varicosity is superi- or to that of traditional operation and it has the advantages such as minor wound,few scars,light pains,short hospi- talization duration,without recrudescence,the ulcer heals quickly and so on.

Background:Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is associated with high neonatal morbidity and mortality.However,the influences of cesarean section (CS) on neonatal outcomes in preterm pregnancies complicated with PPROM are not well elucidated.The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of delivery modes on neonatal outcomes among pregnant women with PPROM.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in 39 public hospitals in 14 cities in the mainland of China from January 1st,2011 to December 31st,2011.A total of 2756 singleton pregnancies complicated with PPROM were included.Adverse neonatal outcomes including early neonatal death,birth asphyxia,respiratory distress syndrome (RDS),pneumonia,infection,birth trauma,and 5-min/10-min Apgar scores were obtained from the hospital records.Binary variables and ordinal variables were respectively calculated by binary logistic regressions and ordinal regression.Numerical variables were compared by multiple linear regressions.Results:In total,2756 newborns were involved in the analysis.Among them,1166 newborns (42.31％) were delivered by CS and 1590 newborns belonged to vaginal delivery (VD) group.The CS proportion of PPROM obviously increased with the increase of gestational age (X2 =5.014,P =0.025).Compared with CS group,VD was associated with a higher risk of total newborns mortality (odds ratio [OR],2.38;95％ confidence interval [CI],1.102-5.118;P =0.027),and a lower level of pneumonia (OR,0.32;95％ CI,0.126--0.811;P =0.016).However,after multivariable adjustment and stratification for gestational age,only pneumonia was significantly related with CS in 28 to 34 weeks group (OR,0.34;95％ CI,0.120-0.940;P =0.038).There were no differences regarding to other adverse outcomes in the two groups,including neonatal mortality,birth asphyxia,Apgar scores,RDS,pneumonia,and sepsis.Condusions:The proportion of CS of pregnant women with PPROM was very high in China.The mode of delivery does not affect neonatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated with PPROM.
