Alliinase is immobilized on pre-activated chitosan microspheres by glutaraldehyde.The optimum immobilization conditions are as follows: glutaraldehyde concentration is 4%,alliinase concentration 20.2U,immobilization time 2h.For immobilized alliinase,the highest activity was allowed at pH 7.0 and temperature 35℃,and the Michaelis constant(Km)was disclosed to be 7.9mmol/L by Lineweaver-Burk plot,and after 10 times reuses the immobilized alliinase lost no more than 10% activity.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the estrogenic activity of icariin and genistein with estrogen-dependent human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells.

METHODMCF-7 cells were incubated with media containing 5% charcoal dextran-treated FBS in phenol red-free media for 48 h. CCK-8 kit was used to study the impact of defferent concentration of icariin and genistein on MCF-7 proliferation in vitro. Optimal concentration icariin and genistein were added into medium and total RNA was isolated after 12, 24, 36, 48 h. The gene expression of ERalpha, ERbeta, PS2, and PR were investigated by Real-time RT-PCR Total protein was also isolated and secretion of ERalpha, ERbeta, PS2, and PR were examined by Western blot.

RESULT10 micromol x L(-1) icariin and genistein could promote the proliferation of MCF-7 evidently. However, the ability of genistein to promote the proliferation was better than icariin. With the concentration of 10 micromol x L(-1), genistein group had a stronger expression of ERa, PS2 and PR mRNA levels than icariin while ERbetaexpression had no significant difference in two group. The same effects were detected by western blotting.

CONCLUSIONBoth genistein and icariin have a strong estrogen-like effect, but the estrogenic activity of genistein is stronger than icariin. It showed that the activity of icariin is stron-ger than genistein to promote ROB maturation. So it must be that icariin promotes the maturation of osteoblasts in vitro by a estogen-independent mechanism.

Objective To analyse the clinical characteristics,gene mutation and enzymatic activity of αgalactosidase A(α-GalA)in a 15-year-old male patient with typical Fabry disease,whose mother was without any clinical manifestations.Methods Clinical features and laboratory data were collected from the patient and his mother.Genomie DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of the patient.his mother,and a healthy control subject.Seven exons of the GLA gene were amplified by PCR.PCR products were purified.cloned into T vector,and then sequenced.The enzymatic activity of α-GalA Was measured by fluorimetrie substrate assay. Results DNA sequencing results showed that a missense mutation of 10036-10038delAAG in exon 7 WaS identified in the patient,resulting in the replacement of 374 lysine and 375 glyeine by arginine,which Was not previously reported.The patient Was a hemizygote with gene mutation,his mother WaS a heterozygote carrying gene mutation,and the healthy control without mutation.α-GalA enzymatic activity assay showed that the enzymatic activity of the patient with GLA gene mutation was only 50%of the healthy control subject,while the enzymatic activity of the patient's mother Was about 70%of the heahhy control SObject.Conclusiolls Detecting GLA gene mutation and α-GalA enzymatic activity in patients with Fabry disease who have been clinically diagnosed seelns to be helpful in finding other patients in the family and in further understanding the molecular pathogenesis of that disease.

Objective To evaluate effects of maternal hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass on fetal homodynamic and carbohydrate metabolism. Methods Twenty pregnant sheep were divided into four groups randomly: control group(n=5),normothermic group (35-36℃)(n=5), mild hypothermic group(32-34℃)(n=5) and moderate hypothermic group (28-31℃)(n=5).Thoracotomy was performed without CPB in the control group. Routine CPB was established with different temperature in other three groups. The temperature of normothermic group was kept normal; the left two groups were cooled down to the set point of temperature and then rewarmed back to normal level. Fetal and maternal temperatures, heart rate,mean blood pressure(BP), pulse index (PI) of fetal umbilical artery (UA) and internal carotid artery (CA) were evaluated at cooling and rewarming stages. Biochemical indicators including blood glucose and lactic acid were also measured at the same time. Results There are no differences in mesn BP of ewas and fetal lambs between the different groups (P＞0.05). CA PI value of mild hypothermic group and moderate hypothermic group were significantly higher than those of control group and normothermic group (P＜0.05). There was no difference of UA PI in the four groups, but PI increased following the prolonged duration of CPB. There was no difference change of blood glucose in the four group of fetus, which was significantly lower than the ewe groups. An upward trend of fetal blood lactic acid with time was observed in three CPB groups. The whole level of fetal blood lactic acid was much higher than that of maternal blood of lactic acid. Conclusion Cooling of maternal bypsss decreases fetal heart rate significantly,and fetal heart rate recovered to base line following rewarming phase. There was no signicant effect of CPB on fetal mean BP. However, CPB impacted on the blood flow of fetal brain and umbilical artey. Hypothermia CPB can increase fetal blood glucose and blood lactic acid dramatically.
