To have a better understanding on the evolution of Metallosphaera sedula-mediated precipitation and the properties of the precipitate synthesized by this species，a newly identified extremely thermophilic strain (YN23) of Metallosphaera sedula was cultured in the medium containing Fe2+ as energy resouTce under optimal condidons (pH1.5，65℃,0.2g·1-1 yeast extract,30g·1-1 Fe2SO4·7H2O and 170rpm)．XRD，EDS，ETIR and SEM reveal the precipitate obtained from YN23-inoculated flasks to be a mixture of potassium jarosite and ammoniojarosite，with morphological features similar to the latter．Precipitation Was first detected once over 90％ of Fe2+ was oxidized at hour 25 with a peak pH value of 1.92，and was ended when precipitate reached the highest point of 7.9g·1-1 at hour 95 with the lowest pH value of 1.32 in solution．Microbial density underwent a rapid increase along with Fe2+ oxidation and a gradual decrease with precipitate piling up.

Coptis chinensis is widely used as Chinese medicine herbs and serious soil problems occur after continual cultivation of this medicinal plant. In the preset experiment, fibrous root extract of C. chinensis (REC) was added into soil to study the effect of REC on microbes and enzyme activity in soil. The results showed that both bacteria and actinomycetes decreased by about 2 times in contrast to fungi, which increased by about 3 folds. Phosphorus bacteria, potassium bacteria, azotobacter, ammonia bacteria, and nitrifying bacteria were also reduced significantly by REC, suggesting the inhibition of nitrogen biofixation and supply, mobilization of phosphorus and potassium, ad plant growth promotion as REC added into soil. There were multiple influences of REC on soil enzyme activities. Invertase activity was stimulated, while urease was inhibited and dehydrogenase unchanged by REC, indicating the interference of biochemical reactions in soil. In addition, type and total content of phosphorus lipid fatty acids (PLFAs) , the signature of microbes, decreased while the ratio of bacterium to fungus PLFAs increased as REC increased in soil, which suggested that fungi increased relatively with bacteria decreased thereby leading to easy occurrence of crop fungus diseases following cultivation of C. chinensis. The decrease in diversity and evenness indexes of microbial community in soil by REC indicated soil ecosystem deterioration and reduction of microbial groups and densities in soil. Therefore, allelopathic chemicals released from the roots of C. chinensis could change microbial community structure and resulted in serious soil problems by continual cropping of this medicinal plant.

AIM:To investigate the feasibility of using human amniotic epithelial cells(HAECs) sheets,which are cultured by using a biodegradable fibrin sealant to re-establish corneal surface layer.METHODS:Human amniotic membrane(AM) harvested at the time of elective caesarean section was digested by collagenase and trypsin respectively to obtain HAECs.The HAECs were planted on Millicell culture dishes coated with biodegradable fibrin glue,and cultured by using the air-lifting cultivation.The HAECs sheets were investigated morphologically by Hematoxylin-Eosin staining,scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and were identified by cytokeratin immunohistochemistry.RESULTS:HAECs sheets were transparent and successfully cultured by using a biodegradable fibrin sealant.Most of the cultured cells were round or polygon and typical slabstone-like appearance.Many microvilli were observed on cell surfaces by SEM.Cytokeratin staining was positive.HAECs had stratificated growth tendency and became corneal-like stratificating epithelial cells.CONCLUSION:A commercially available fibrin sealant was an effective means of tissue engineering to create a carrier-free,transplantable HAECs sheets.The sheets were potential graft to re-establish corneal surface layer.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical effects and safety of dynamic external fixtor combined with limited internal fixation and cross K-wires fixation for the treatment of close Pilon fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint.

METHODSFrom June 2012 to June 2014, totally 41 patients (45 fingers) with close interphalangeal joint Pilon fracture were treated by dynamic external fixtor combined with limited internal fixation or cross K-wires fixation, and all the patients were followed up. In the dynamic external fixtor combined with limited internal fixation group (group A), there were 21 patients with 22 fingers, including 12 males and 9 females, with an average of (30.6±5.6) years old. In the cross K-wires fixation group (group B), there were 20 patients with 23 fingers, including 11 males and 9 females, with an average of (30.1±5.3) years old. Regular re-examination of X-ray was performed to evaluate the active range of joint motion, fracture healing time, infection rate and postoperative joint motion pain.

RESULTSAccording to the evaluation criteria of upper extremity function issued by the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association, the excellent and good cases of group A was up to 19 and 13 for group B. The evaluation results has significant differences (Z=2.558, P=0.011). The excellent and good rate of group A was obviously higher than that of group B. The average bone union time of group A was (7.9±2.1) weeks, and (8.1±2.3) weeks for group B. There was no significant difference on the mean healing time (t=-0.304, P=0.762). The infection fingers of group A was 5, and 1 for group B. The difference between the results was statistically significant (χ2=3.287, P<0.05). The infection rate of group A was higher than that of group B. The postoperative joint motion pain was evaluated by VAS score, the mean score was 0.18±0.50 in group A, and 0.65±0.88 in group B. The difference between the results was statistically significant (t=-2.207, P<0.05). The postoperative joint motion pain was lower than that of group B.

CONCLUSIONDynamic external fixtor combined with limited internal fixation is a reliable and effective method to treat Pilon fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint. It allows early postoperative functional rehabilitation and restores the joint function.
