The production conditions of glutathione with shaking flask fermentation by the mutant Saccharomyces J-X25, a methionine-defected strain were studied, and the optimum culture conditions are as follows: initial pH6. 0, temperature 30℃, 100ml in 500ml flask, the inoculum size 10% and agitation rate 220r/min. The emphasis was on the stimulating effect on the cells by dioxogen and the sodium lactate as surfactant. Both of which were added at the logarithmic phase of fermentation, and the GSH production was up to 0. 253g/L , 52% higher than the control without the additions. Compared with the production of GSH initial strain that by the mutant in optimum conditions was increased by 79%.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors for fungal infection in hospitalized patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS),and provide basis for taking preventive and control measures.Methods Clini-cal data of 112 inpatients with AIDS in a tertiary first-class hospital from January 2010 to October 2015 were ana-lyzed retrospectively,related risk factors were analyzed in patients with fungal infection,univariate analysis was performed byχ2 or t test,and multivariate analysis was performed by logistic regression analysis.Results Among 112 AIDS inpatients,41 (36.61%)had fungal infection.Candida albicans was the main pathogen (n=52, 76.74%)and was mainly isolated from lower respiratory tract (n=29,42.65%).Univariate analysis showed that invasive procedures,duration of antimicrobial use,combined antimicrobial use,and decreased CD4+ T lymphocyte count in peripheral blood were risk factors for fungal infection in AIDS inpatients(all P<0.05),while oral cleaning care and systemic antiviral therapy were protective factors for fungal infection(all P<0.05);multivariate analysis showed that decreased CD4+ T lymphocyte count in peripheral blood(OR,1.017[95% CI,1.009-1.025])and combined antimicrobial use(OR,3.975[95%CI,1.093-14.448])were independent risk factors for fungal infection in AIDS inpatients,while systemic antiviral therapy was independent protective factor for fungal infection (OR, 0.288[95%CI,0.099-0.841]).Conclusion There are many factors influencing fungal infection in AIDS patients, rational use of antimicrobial agents,systemic antiviral therapy,and increasing serum albumin concentration are main methods to prevent fungal infection,avoid unnecessary invasive procedures and application of preventive antifungal therapy for high-risk patients are also effective to prevent fungal infection.

Objective To explore the possibility of non-discarding blood after cisplatin hyperther-mic antiblastic perfusion(HAP)in treating the patients with malignant bone tumor of lower extremity.Methods Forty patients consisted of 31osteosarcomas and9malignant fibrous histiocytomas of bone.The clinical stages were wholly classified intoⅡB stage according to Ennekings surgical staging system for muscu-loskeletal tumors.The patients were divided into three groups:group1:discarding blood group(10cases),in whom200ml of the400ml blood remaining in heart-lung machine was discarded after HAP;group2:Non-discarding blood group(25cases),the blood remaining in heart-lung machine was not discarded after HAP and re-infused into systemic circulation;group3:systemic chemotherapy group(5cases),cisplatin was infused intravenously.The regional and the systemic blood cisplatin concentrations were determined at3,30and60minutes during HAP,and the systemic blood cisplatin concentrations were determined at0,0.5,1,2,4,8,12,24,48and72hours after HAP in the group1and group2.While1h after cisplatin infusion in-tra venously in the group3,the blood cisplatin concentration were also measured.Results The regional blood cis platin concen tra tions were high er than that in systemic blood at the time during HAP.The systemic blood cisplatin concen trations after HAP,ex cept at0minute in the group2were higher than that in the group1,there were sig nificant statistic differences between the two groups.The systemic blood cisplatin con-cen trations after HAP in the group2were simi lar to that after systemic chemotherapy.No severe adverse ef-fects in the group1were found.The Ennek ings surgical stagings for the tumors were turned fromⅡB intoⅡA in all the patients.Conclusion The method of non-discarding blood after HAP is available,it is not only local treatment ,but also systemic chemotherapy in the patients with malignant bone tumor of lower ex-tremi ty for limb-salvage surgery.

Objective To understand the microorganisms pollution and the community structure and distribution characteristics of airborne microbes in forest scenic spot in Huangshan,China.Methods The airborne microbes were sampled by fallen plate method from 2002 to 2003 in Huangshan scenic area and Hefei city.Results The results showed that there was a significant negative correlation between the elevation and airborne microbe,the relative coefficient was -0.580(P

Objective To compare the differences between state-owned hospitals and private-funded hospitals in Shanghai on the introduction and application of hospital marketing conception. Methods Questionnaire and interviews were conducted to reflect understandings in marketing conception,advertisements,hospital brand,customers' sense of satisfaction,etc. Results State-owned hospitals were less concerned in marketing conception compared with their private counterparts,even less sufficient in marketing input or management. Conclusion The state-owned hospitals should update their conception and enhance their ability of marketing management.While the private hospitals need to maintain the moderation of marketing and deal with the relationship among marketing,profit and development properly.

Objective To explore the risk factors of mortality in neonates with severe bacterial pneumonia. Method The clinical data of 249 neonates with severe bacterial pneumonia from January 2011 to November 2015 were analyzed retrospectively, and the related factors of mortality were analyzed. Results Of the 249 children, 45 died and mortality rate was 18.07%. A total of 251 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected in the bacterial culture, and the top 5 pathogens were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Univariate analysis showed that the gestational age, premature rupture of membranes, age at the time of hospital admission, birth weight, feeding, Apgar score, total bilirubin, complications, traumatic treatment, parenteral nutrition, and multidrug-resistant bacteria infection between the death group and survival group were significantly different (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age at admission <7 days (OR=4.30, 95%CI: 1.74～10.64), Apgar scores <7 (OR=3.24, 95%CI: 1.23～8.49), and having complications (OR=6.81, 95%CI: 2.65～17.46), multidrug-resistant bacteria infection (OR=6.16, 95%CI: 1.90～19.99) and traumatic therapy (OR=3.82, 95%CI: 1.03～14.16) were the independent risk factors of mortality in neonatal severe bacterial pneumonia (all P <0.05). Conclusion The mortality rate of neonatal severe bacterial pneumonia is relatively high. And the main risk factors of death were the age at admission <7 days, Apgar scores <7, and having complications, multidrug- resistant bacteria infection and traumatic therapy.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic radial incision (ERI) for benign stricture of upper digestive system. Methods Patients with benign esophageal or gastric stricture (including anastomotic stricture, stricture after ESD and caustic stricture) were enrolled in this study. The stage of stricture, length of the lesion and the thickness of the scar were recorded. ERI (maybe associated with balloon dilatation) were performed. Post-opera-tive symptoms, complications and follow-up were also recorded. Results 7 patients were enrolled and all received ERI, and 4 additional balloon dilatation were done. Dysphagia in all patients relieved. 1 case with hemorrhage oc-curred and relieved with conservative treatment. Majority of the patients got long-term remission after 1~2 times of ERI. Conclusion ERI is safe and effective for benign stricture of upper digestive system. It may prolong the dyspha-gia-free period, worth clinical promotion.
