Natamycin is a polyene macrolide antifungal antibiotic ,which is wide ly used in the food industry in order to prevent mould contamination .Biosynthe s is gene cluster of natamycin is discovered by the overall of progress in molecul ar biology of natamycin, including 16 open reading frames which includes the gen e for 26-member ring formation of natamycin (pimS0-pimS4 ) and the modifying gene s, and the function of the protein including polyketide synthases(PKSs)、PimD、P imJ、PimK were studied

OBJECTIVETo analyze the relationship between inorganic ingredients (Ca, P and F) concentration of plaque residues in the primary teeth and caries status, sugar exposure frequency.

METHODSSubjects were 93 of 3-5 years old children living in Beijing area. According to their caries status, they were classified into two groups: Severe early childhood caries(S-ECC) group and caries free(CF) group. Plaque samples were collected from subjects respectively. Ca, P and F concentration of plaque residues was measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy, spectrophotometer and fluoride electrode respectively. The information of daily sugar exposure frequency of children was obtained from a standardized questionnaire filled by their parents. The relationship between inorganic ingredients (Ca, P and F) concentration of plaque residues and daily sugar exposure frequency was analyzed and the relationship between inorganic ingredients (Ca, P and F) concentration of plaque residues and caries status in the S-ECC group was also analyzed.

RESULTSThe mean values for Ca, P and F concentration of plaque residues were lower in the S-ECC group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The daily sugar exposure frequency in the S-ECC group was higher than that in the CF group. There were no relationships between Ca, P and F concentration of plaque residues and caries status (dmft, dmfs), sugar exposure frequency in the primary dentition.

CONCLUSIONPlaque residues from CF subjects did not contain a greater pool of calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and fluoride ions than that from S-ECC subjects.

Objective To assess the chest X-ray radiographic findings in children with influenza A (H1N1) virus infection. Methods The chest X-ray radiographies in 67 children with influenza A(H1N1) virus infection were reviewed in this study. The chest radiographies were obtained 3-8 days after the onset of symptoms and for the follow-up. Results The abnormalities were bilateral in 53 patients and unilateral in 7 patients. The predominant radiographic findings were bilateral patchy consolidation (n=42) with rapid confluence in 10 patients, lobular consolidation (n=7) with interstitial hyperplasia in 1 patient 3 month later, diffuse consolidation (n=11) with interstitial hyperplasia in all patients after 3 month. ConclusionThe predominant chest X-ray radiographic findings are bilateral patchy consolidation and diffuse consolidation with interstitial hyperplasia afterward.

Strain QJ16,one of some methanotrophic bacteria isolated from soil samples utilizing the separate device designed by our laboratory;was studied in detail and identified as one of the Genus methylomonas through 16S rDNA sequencing and comparison. The culturing and reaction conditions for methane utilization of this strain were investigated. The results indicated that the optimal conditions for the growth of strain QJ16 were methane gas as carbon source and the coexistence of NH4Cl and KNO3 as nitrogen source,the cultivation temperature of 30℃ and medium initial pH 6～7,and the optimal Cu2+ concentration of 15 ?mol/L.

Objective Study on the traceability of serum enzyme ass ays by testing enzyme reference material in clinical laboratories. Methods 50 laboratories were involved in this survey. One enzyme reference material was send to each participate lab. The reference material was tested by use of routine method and the results were recorded. All lab data were processed with computer. Results Compare with the target values, the bias of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LD) assays were 6 3%, 5 5%, -5 9% and -5 0% respectively, the bias of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assays was -36 6. The inter laboratory coefficient variation of the amylase assay was 29 2%. Conclusions The results of enzyme assay in clinical laboratories could be traced to the international reference material.

Objective To study inhibitory activity of anthraquinone in Polygonum Cillinerve(Nakai) Ohwi (anthraquinone in PCO) to nitrosation. Methods Anthraquinone was extracted from Polygonum Cillinerve(Nakai) Ohwi with sulfuric acid and chloroform as solvents. The capability of scavenging sodium nitrite and disconnecting nitrosamine synthesis with anthraquinone in PCO were determined by spectrophotometry under simulated human gastric juice. Results Both the sodium nitrite scavenging rate and the nitrosamine synthesis disconnecting rate showed the positive correlation with the concentration of anthraquinone in PCO. The strongest capability of scavenging sodium nitrite was 53.5%, and the strongest capability of disconnecting nitrosamine synthesis was 71.3%. Conclusion Anthraquinone in PCO had strong capability of scavenging sodium nitrite and disconnecting nitrosamine synthesis.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of narirutin,naringin,hesperiden and neo-hesperiden in Weisu granule. METHODS:UPLC was performed on the column of ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.2% Phosphoric acid aqueous(gradient elution)at a flow rate of 0.40 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 284 nm, the column temperature was 30 ℃,and the injection volume was 1 μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 9.38-93.75 μg/ml for narirutin(r=0.999 7), 32.25-322.50 μg/ml for naringin(r=0.999 7), 11.25-112.50 μg/ml for hesperiden(r=0.999 9) and 11.88-118.75 μg/ml for neohesperidin(r=0.999 8);limits of quantitation were 20 ng,18 ng,18 ng and 18 ng,the limits of detec-tion were 6 ng,5 ng ,5 ng and 5 ng,respectively;RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2.0%;re-coveries were 96.24%-103.12%(RSD=2.45%,n=6),98.43%-102.10%(RSD=1.42%,n=6),96.10%-101.41%(RSD=2.07%,n=6)and 95.57%-99.06%(RSD=1.44%,n=6),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is rapid and efficient,and suitable for the simultaneous determination of narirutin,naringin,hesperiden and neohesperiden in Weisu granule.
