Objective To investigate the changes of lithium metabolic balance in normal controls and in patients with type-two diabetes mellitus.Method Lithium was measured by atomic absorbent spectrometry.Results (2 91?0 54)?mol/d of lithium intake (2 37?0 51)?mol/d in urine and (0 28?0 05)?mol/d in stool,(0 27?0 24)?mol/d of lithium equilibrium value(LEV),(2 64?0 51)?mol/d of intestinal lithium absorption value(ILAV),(90 4?18)% of intestinal lithium absorption rate(ILAR) and (81 0?1 5)% of ratio of urine lithium excretion to lithium intake(ULE/LI)in normal controls;as well as (2 24?0 25)?mol/d of lithium in food,(2 15?0 36)?mol/d in urine,(0 35?0 05)?mol/d in stool,(-0 25?0 06)?mol/d of LEV,(1 89?0 33)?mol/d of ILAV,(84 3?2 1)% of ILAR and (95 6?3 2)% RU/I in diabetic patients respectively.Lithium in food and stool,LEV,ILAV and ILAR in diabetes were lower than those in controls (P

Chlorella pyrenoidosa No.2 was screened from five species of microalga Chlorella sp. for its higher lipid yield. Effects of medium components and culture conditions on cell growth as well as lipid ac-cumulation of C. pyrenoidosa No.2 were investigated and the results showed that the optimum medium rec-ipe was 20.0 g/L glucose,0.08 g/L glycine,1.0 g/L K2HPO4?3H2O,0.4 g/L MgSO4?7H2O and 0.004 g/L FeSO4?7H2O. The optimum culture temperature,initial pH,shaking rate and light intensity were 28℃,6.0,130 r/min and 650 Lux,respectively. Biomass and lipid content increased from 3.73 g/L and 40.15% to 6.56 g/L and 59.90% when Chlorella pyrenoidosa No.2 was cultivated under the above optimal conditions for 7 days,with lipid yield raised by 162%. Chlorella pyrenoidosa No.2 could produce lipid with xylose as carbon source,and so is potential for lipid production from renewable materials such as lignocellulose. GC analysis demonstrated that the fatty acid composition of the lipid was similar to that of vegetable oil and its unsaturated fatty acid content reached around 71%,thus it is a promising material for biodiesel production.

Objective To search the literature of randomized controlled trials on the treatment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse with adjuvant materials and compare the efficacy and safety of anterior vaginal wall prolapse repair with and without adjuvant materials.Methods Searches were made in the databases of Pubmed,Embase and Ovid for randomized controlled trials from 1980 to 2012 on the treatment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse with adjuvant materials.Comprehensive meta-analyses were conducted with Revman 5.1 analysis software to compare vaginal wall anatomy failure rate,operative duration,intraoperative bleeding volume,postoperative visceral injury,pelvic pain,urinary infection,material exposure,material erosion,de novo urinary incontinence and de novo dyspareunia in the adjuvant materials repair and repair without adjuvant materials groups.Results A total of 20 randomized controlled trials including 2313 participants were retrieved.The shortest average follow-up period was 3 months and the longest 36 months.Compared with repair without adjuvant materials,the application of adjuvant materials in anterior vaginal wall repair reduced vaginal front wall prolapse anatomy failure rate lower anatomy failure rate,had a longer operating duration,more peri-operative bleeding and lower urinary tract infection rate.The comprehensive effects were as follows:P＜0.01,RR =0.51,95％CI:0.41-0.64;P ＜0.01,weighted mean differenece (WMD) =16.25,95％ CI:8.07-24.43;P =0.01,WMD =35.00,95％ CI:6.90-63.11 ;P =0.03,RR =0.51,95％ CI:0.28-0.93,respectively,but the comparison of two groups around in visceral injury,postoperative pain,de novo stress urinary incontinence and de novo dyspareunia had no significant differences (P =0.07,0.58,0.54 and 0.67) and the average materiale exposure and rosion rate were 4.37％ (27/618) and 7.69％ (24/312) respectively.Conclusions The application of adjuvant materials in anterior vaginal wall repair can improve the postoperative recurrence.But no obvious differences exist in the incidence of complications in anterior repair with adjuvant materials and repair without adjuvant materials.
