Biotechnology supremacy is a newly-advanced power theory. It is a superior dominance of military biotechnological application based on the microcosm of life structure within a certain period of time. The advancement of biotechnology supremacy and modern biotechnology has created the concept of bio-micro-frontier, which involves information and defense resources of all living ultra-micro-organisms with national and regional characteristics. Being feasible both in theory and practice, the implementation of bio-micro-frontier system is strategically important. This article explores the implementation of bio-micro-frontier in terms of strategy and tactics, which will add a unique dimension to future military transformation and active defense.

The aim of this work was to investigate guar gum/ethylcellulose mix coated pellets for potential colon-specific drug delivery. The coated pellets, containing 5-fluorouracil as a model drug, were prepared in a fluidized bed coater by spraying the aqueous/ethanol dispersion mixture of guar gum and ethylcellulose. The lag time of drug release and release rate were adjustable by changing the ratio of guar gum to ethylcellulose and coat weight gain. In order to find the optimal coating formulation that was able to achieve drug targeting to the colon, the effect of two independent variables (the ratio of guar gum to ethylcellulose and the coat weight gain) on drug release characteristics was studied using 3×4 factorial design and response surface methodology. Results indicated that drug release rate decreased as the proportion of ethylcellulose in the hybrid coat and the coat weight gain increased. When the ratio of guar gum to ethylcellulose was kept in the range of 0.2 to 0.7, and the coat weight gain in the range of 250% to 500%, the coated pellets can keep intact for about 5 h in upper gastrointestine and achieve colon-specific drug delivery. The pellets prepared under optimal conditions resulted in delayed-release sigmoidal patterns with T5% (time for 5% drug release) of 5.1-7.8 h and T90% (time for 90% drug release) of 9.8-16.3 h. Further more, drug release was accelerated and T90% of the optimum formulation pellets decreased to 9.0-14.5 h in pH 6.5 phosphate buffer with hydrolase. It is concluded that mixed coating of guar gum and ethylcellulose is able to provide protection of the drug load in the upper gastrointestinal tract, while allowing enzymatic breakdown of the hybrid coat to release the drug load in the colon.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum omentin-1 levels in obesity and essential hypertension patients and its related influencing factors. Methods One hundred and thirty patients with obesity admitted to the Cadre Health Care Department of Navy General Hospital from Jun. 2011 to Dec. 2013 were enrolled in this study. According to the blood pressure,130 obesity patients were divided into simple obesity group( n=64 )and obesity hypertension group( n=66 ). Sixty non obesity patients with normal blood pressure were enrolled as control group. Serum omentin-1 levels were assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA). Association between omentin-1 and biochemical parameters( including systolic blood pressure( SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP),body mass index(BMI),waist hip ratio(WHR),fasting blood glucose(FBG), triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol( HDL-C),fasting insulin( FINS),insulin resistance index( HOMA-IR)and high sensitive C reactive protein(hs-CRP))were analyzed. Results Serum omentin-1 levels in control group was(26. 7 ± 5. 1)μg/L, significantly higher than that in simple obesity group and obesity hypertension group((22. 1 ± 3. 2)μg/L,(18. 3 ± 3. 4)μg/L;F=33. 7,P﹤0. 01),and serum omentin-1 levels in obesity hypertension group was significantly lower than that in simple obesity group( t =21. 5,P ﹤0. 05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum omentin-1 negatively correlated with BMI,WHR,SBP and HOMA-IR( r = - 0. 447,- 0. 340,- 0. 350,-0. 397;P﹤0. 01). There were no significant relations between omentin-1 and age,DBP,FBG,FBG,TG,TC, LDL-C,HDL-C,FINS and hs-CRP( P ﹥0. 05 ). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that HOMA-IR, BMI and SBP were independent influencing factors of serum Omentin-1. Conclusion The serum omentin-1 level decreases in the obesity hypertension patients. Omentin-1 is negatively correlated with BMI,SBP,and HOMA-IR, which may contribute to the underlying pathophysiology of obesity and essential hypertension.

In the criminal cases of driving under the influence (DUI), DNA evidence can be collected from the deployed airbag of the motor vehicle and submitted to the crime lab for touch DNA analysis. The evidence can be acquired when the skin cells are observed on the surface of the airbag in a traffic accident. However, the low quantity or quality of the evidence collected from a crime scene prevents further identification analysis in many cases. In the current study, we reported a case of identifying touch DNA extraction from the shed skin cells from the deployed airbag of a motor vehicle. We managed to collect DNA evidence from the shed skin cells in an airbag using a proper approach of collection and extraction. The 5.87 ng of extracted DNA was sufficient for genotyping and forensic identification, which helped to identify the driver of the car in collision with a pier in the street. In DUI cases and other traffic accidents, therefore, the amount of touch DNA extracted from the deployed airbag can be sufficient for DNA marker genotyping and further analysis.
