Objective To observe the change of sinus heart rate turbulence (HRT) and its relation to left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods The 103 ACS patients and 62 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study, all of them received 24-hour Holter monitor. And the values of turbulence onset (TO), turbulence slope (TS)and heart rate variability (HRV) SDNN were calculated according the Holter records. The clinical information, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) were recorded. Then the ACS patients were divided into acute myocardial infarction (AMI)group and unable angina pectoris (UAP) group according to the cardiac enzymes and electrocardiogram. Results The value of TO was significantly higher in ACS group than in control group [(0.17±1.40)％ vs. (- 0.26±0.99)％, P＜0.05], and TS was significantly lower in ACS group than in control group [R-R interval:(0.88±2.51) ms vs. (2.60±2.76) ms, P＜0.01].There were significant differences in TS, LVEF and LVEDD between AMI group and UAP group (all P＜0.01), but there were no differences in HRV and TO between the two groups. TS was positively correlated with LVEF (r=0.21, P＜0.05), while TO was negatively correlated with LVEF (r=-0.26, P＜0.05) by Spearman correlation analysis. Conclusions HRT is significantly blunted in ACS patients and can evaluate cardiac autonomic function. It may be as a predictor of LVSF in ACS patients.

Escherichia coli AFP111 is a spontaneous mutant with mutations in the glucose specific phosphotransferase system (ptsG) in NZN111 (delta pflAB deltaldhA). In AFP111, conversion of xylose to succinic acid generates 1.67 molecule of ATP per xylose. However, the strain needs 2.67 molecule ATP for xylose metabolism. Therefore, AFP111 cannot use xylose due to insufficient ATP under anaerobic condition. Through an atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) jet, we got a mutant strain named DC111 that could use xylose under anaerobic condition in M9 medium to produce succinic acid. After 72 h, DC111 consumed 10.52 g/L xylose to produce 6.46 g/L succinic acid, and the yield was 0.78 mol/mol. Furthermore, the reaction catalyzed by the ATP-generating PEP-carboxykinase (PCK) was enhanced. The specific activity of PCK was 19.33-fold higher in DC111 than that in AFP111, which made the strain have enough ATP to converse xylose to succinic acid.

During the anaerobic fermentation by Escherichia coli AFP111 for succinic acid production, the viable cell concentration and productivity were decreased with the raising of succinic acid concentration. In order to restore cellular succinic acid productivity and prolong fermentation time, we collected strains and refreshed medium for repetitive succinic acid production. However, productivity is lower than that in the anaerobic fermentation before reusing strains. To enhance the productivity, strains were aerobically cultivated for 3 h in pure water before anaerobic fermentation. The activities of key enzymes were enhanced for better performance in producing succinic acid at anaerobic stage. After three rounds of repetitive fermentations, succinic acid concentration and yield reached to 56.50 g/L and 90% respectively. The succinic acid productivity was 0.81 g/(L x h), which was 13% higher than the repetitive fermentations without aerobic activation of the strains.

Escherichia coli BA002, in which the ldhA and pflB genes are deleted, cannot utilize glucose anaerobically due to the inability to regenerate NAD+. To restore glucose utilization, overexpression of nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRTase) encoded by the pncB gene, a rate-limiting enzyme of NAD(H) synthesis pathway, resulted in a significant increase in cell mass and succinate production under anaerobic conditions. However, a high concentration of pyruvate was accumulated. Thus, co-expression of NAPRTase and the heterologous pyruvate carboxylase (PYC) of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris NZ9000 in recombinant E. coli BA016 was investigated. Results in 3 L fermentor showed that OD600 is 4.64 and BA016 consumed 35.00 g/L glucose and produced 25.09 g/L succinate after 112 h under anaerobic conditions. Overexpression of pncB and pyc in BA016, the accumulation of pyruvic acid was further decreased, and the formation of succinic acid was further increased.

Objective To establish an effective and stable rat model of skin-infection for evaluating the therapeutic effects of topical anti-infection drugs.Methods SD rats were subcutaneously injected with cyclophosphamide to induce immunosuppression,and then surgical incisions were made on both sides of the spine.The rat model of skin-infection was established by applying methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureas suspension to the incisions for two consecutive days,and evaluated by analyzing infection status,pathological changes and healing time.Results The development of pyogenic infection was detected in all of the rats.Compared with the non-cyclophosphamide treated group,the cyclophosphamide treated group showed a more severe infection both from the visual inspection and the microscopic observation,moreover,its healing time was delayed more than 10 days.Conclusion The skin-infection model was successfully established in immunosuppressed rats induced by cyclophosphamide,which could be applicable to the efficacy evaluation of anti-infection drugs for external use on skin infection.

BACKGROUND:Although vitamin C has an anti-oxidation role and can promote cell proliferation, there is a lack of research about the promoting effect of vitamin C on the proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells under high glucose conditions and the related molecular mechanisms.OBJECTIVE:To explore the promoting effect of vitamin C on the proliferation adipose-derived stem cells treated by the high glucose and the related molecular mechanisms.METHODS:Passage 3 human adipose-derived stem cells were cultured under high glucose conditions and then treated with different concentrations of vitamin C (0, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 μmol/L). Cells cultured under low glucose conditions acted as controls. The expression levels of p-ERK and p-AKT proteins were detected by western blot. MTT method was used to choose the optimal concentration and time of vitamin C for all the subsequent tests. Human adipose-derived stem cells cultured under high glucose conditions were divided into four groups, and cells in blank control group had no treatment. Cells in the other three groups were treated with the optimal concentration of vitamin C (vitamin C group), LY294002+the optimal concentration of vitamin C (LY294002 group), or U0126+the optimal concentration of vitamin C (U0126 group) for 48 hours.EdU staining assay was used to detect the cell proliferation of human adipose-derived stem cells.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Cell counting kit detection:We found that high glucose reduced the proliferation of human adipose-derived stem cells, and vitamin C promoted the proliferation of these cells. The best concentration of vitamin C was 200 μmol/L and the optimal effect time was 48 hours. (2) Western blot detection:Compared with the 0 μmol/L vitamin C group, the level of p-ERK in the 200 μmol/L vitamin C group was upregulated significantly (P < 0.01),while no significant expression change in p-AKT protein was found in control, 0 and 200 μmol/L vitamin C groups.(3) EdU test:the number of EdU positive cells was significantly higher in the vitamin C, LY294002, and control groups compared with the blank control group (P < 0.01). Moreover, compared with the vitamin C group, the EdU positive cells in the U0126 group were decreased significantly in number (P < 0.01). In conclusion, the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway is involved in the promotion effect of vitamin C on the proliferation of human adipose-derived stem cells under high glucose conditions.

BACKGROUND: Nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 composite (n-HA/PA66) has good biocompatibility, osteoinduction, osteoconductivity and osteogenesis. It is widely used in clinical fracture healing, spinal fusion, and other bone repair. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of n-HA/PA66 filling combined with locking plate in the treatment of fibrous dysplasia of femoral bone. METHODS: From May 2015 to May 2018, 15 patients with fibrous dysplasia of bone were admitted to Xingtai People’s Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical University. There were 4 males and 11 females, aged 16-58 years. The lesions were all located in the femur. They were all treated with n-HA/PA66 filling combined with locking plate. The patients were followed up for 18-40 months. Imaging examination (X-ray and CT scan) was carried out to evaluate the bone healing. Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score and Harris score were used to assess the functional recovery of patients after operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) X-ray films showed that there was a clear boundary between the transplanted bone and the host bone immediately after the operation. At 3 months after the operation, the transplanted bone was replaced partly by crawling. At 6 months, new bone formation was obvious. At 9-12 months, new bone formed completely. The transplanted bone was basically catabolized. At 18 months, the new bone was completely integrated with the host bone. The boundary between the new bone and the host bone disappeared. New bone and host bone are connected by direct trabecula. (2) At the last follow-up, CT images showed that the local lesions were eliminated; no recurrence or metastasis occurred; and the grafts healed completely. The G/N ratio was 0.78±0.09. (3) At the last follow-up, 15 patients’ pain all disappeared, MSTS score was 28.1±0.7. Harris score was 94.3. Daily physical activity was restored. (4) n-HA/PA66 composite material has obvious osteogenic effect on the bone defect caused by the removal of fibrous dysplasia. Locking plate fixation can make patients move early and obtain good postoperative function.
