A colorimetric self-indicating probe for glucose was constructed by self-assembly of MnO2 nanosheets (MnO2 NSs) and glucose oxidase(GOD) in this paper.Under the weak acidic medium,glucose oxidase specifically catalyzes glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide.The by-product of hydrogen peroxide could efficiently dissolve the MnO2 nanosheets,resulting into a significant decrease of the characteristic absorbance at 374 nm assigned to MnO2 NSs.Furthermore,the absorbance difference was linearly proportional to the concentration of glucose ranging from 1 to 20 μmol/L The fitted curve could be used for quantification of glucose with a correlation coefficient of 0.990 1.And the detection limit as low as 0.1 μmol/L could be reached based on the definition of three times of the deviation of the blank signal (3σ) and there was negligible interference with other co-existing amino acids,anions,cations and protein,which indicated high sensitivity and selectivity of the hybrid probe.The construction strategy of designated probe is readily generalized in principle for detection of numerous analytes in view of reactive property of MnO2 and the diversity of enzymes.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of application of trans-abdominal Heller combined with Dor fundoplication for esophageal achalasia in the elderly.Methods Clinical data of 9 patients with esophageal achalasia undergoing trans-abdominal Heller combined with Dor fundoplication from Oct.2009 to Dec.2013 were collected.The postoperative effects and complications were analyzed.Results The operations were successful in the 9 patients with no conversion to open operation and no complications.The maximum esophageal diameter was reduced to (1.94 ± 0.76) cm from (3.69 ±-1.34) cm (P＜ 0.05).Rest lower esophageal sphincter pressure declined by 12.18 mmHg in average (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa,P＜0.05).Dysphagia score fell to 2.49 points from 7.88 points (P＜0.05).There were no retrosternal pain and dysphagia,stenosis and food retention in the lower esophagus and cardia place,and obvious expansion in esophageal.There were statistically significant differences in the above indexes.Conclusions The trans-abdominal Heller combined with Dor fundoplication can significantly improve the symptoms of esophageal achalasia in elderly patients,and effectively prevent postoperative gastroesophageal reflux,and has the characteristics being minimally invasive and fast,and fewer complications.

Objective To analyze the clinical application of detecting anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) in the patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods A total of 480 cases with PCOS and 500 cases of healthy females were selected in the study.The levels of AMH in the patients with PCOS were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of AMH,luteinizing hormone (LH),testosterone (T) in patients with PCOS were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group (P＜0.05).Differences of the levels of estradiol (E2) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in patients with PCOS and thosein healthy control group had no statistical significance(P＞0.05).As the age increased,the level of AM H obviously declined.Conclusion The level of AMH in patients with PCOS is obviously higher than that in the healthy ones,it declines with the age increasing.

Objective To explore the change of signal value in the fetal frontal lobe with gestational age in normal second-third trimester fetuses.Methods MRI findings of 125 normal second-third trimester fetuses were divided into 5 groups according to gesta-tional age (unit:week)including 1 7-21,22-26,27 -31,32 -36,37 -40,respectively.The signal values were measured in inferior frontal,middle and upper,respectively.Results The signal value of fetal frontal lobe in 5 groups were 387.38 ± 1 66.75,354.46 ± 1 74.78,342.24±141.23,338.90±1 10.94,310.23±1 18.62,respectively.The signal value was 341.77 ±149.22,35 1.00±145.1 6, 342.85±140.61 in inferior frontal,middle and upper,respectively.The signal value of frontal lobe was 350.34±147.68 in the left and 340.73±144.29 in the right.There were no significant statistical differences on fetal frontal lobe signal value in each group (P>0.05).But the signal value in the frontal lobe had a gradually decreasing trend with fetal age,along with the signal value in the central frontal was higher than the other two parts of the frontal lobe and the left is slightly higher than the right.Conclusion The signal values in frontal lobe of normal second-third trimester fetuses were gradually decreased as gestational age increasing,with the signal values in central frontal lobe was higher than that of in margin of frontal lobe,and the left side was slightly higher than the right.

Lignin degradation products are toxic to microorganisms, which is one of the bottlenecks for fuel ethanol production. We studied the effects of phenolic ketones (4-hydroxyacetophenone, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-acetophenone and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy-acetophenone) derived from lignin degradation on ethanol fermentation of xylose and cellular lipid composition of Pichia stipitis NLP31. Ethanol and the cellular fatty acid of yeast were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Results indicate that phenolic ketones negatively affected ethanol fermentation of yeast and the lower molecular weight phenolic ketone compound was more toxic. When the concentration of 4-hydroxyacetophenone was 1.5 g/L, at fermentation of 24 h, the xylose utilization ratio, ethanol yield and ethanol concentration decreased by 42.47%, 5.30% and 9.76 g/L, respectively, compared to the control. When phenolic ketones were in the medium, the ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids (UFA/SFA) of yeast cells was improved. When 1.5 g/L of three aforementioned phenolic ketones was added to the fermentation medium, the UFA/SFA ratio of yeast cells increased to 3.03, 3.06 and 3.61, respectively, compared to 2.58 of the control, which increased cell membrane fluidity and instability. Therefore, phenolic ketones can reduce the yeast growth, increase the UFA/SFA ratio of yeast and lower ethanol productivity. Effectively reduce or remove the content of lignin degradation products is the key to improve lignocellulose biorefinery.

AIM: To study the expression and the role of ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 of MAPKs pathways in the development of neural tube defects induced by hyperthermia. METHODS: The animal models of golden hamster were produced by hyperthermia. The expression of ERK1/2 and JNK1/2, and levels of their phosphorylation were measured by Western blotting in control group and hyperthermia group. RESULTS: p-ERK1/2 steadily expressed in each control group, and the expression of p-ERK1/2 significantly decreased, which was different from that in the corresponding control group (P<0.05). The activity of p-JNK1/2 increased in hyperthermia group and the amount of p-JNK1/2 increased as compared to control group. The peak appeared at 16 h after exposed to hyperthermia (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Hyperthermia, which induces a decrease in p-ERK1/2 expression and increases the expression of p-JNK1/2 of MAPKs pathway, results in the unbalance of cell proliferation and apoptosis, and induces neural tube defects.

Objective To investigate the curative effect of the adenovirus-mediated fusion gene system driven by KDR promoter (AdKDR-CDglyTK) on a model of pancreatic cancer. Methods By using transplantation of the cultivated cells, human pancreatic cell line Capan-2 was injected subcutaneously on the back of nude mice to establish the animal model of the pancreatic cancer. Twenty nude mice were divided randomly and equally into four groups. The mice in group Ⅰ were injected with AdKDR-CDglyTK and 5-FC/GCV, those in group Ⅱ were injected with 5-FC/GCV, those in group Ⅲwere injected with AdKDR-CDglyTK and those in group Ⅳ received no any injection. AdKDR-CDglyTK was injected directly into the tumor and 5-FC/GCV was given by intraperitoneal injection. The observing parameters included common status, tumor bulk, tumor weight, inhibition rate of tumor growth, pathology, immunohistochemistry and treatment effect in each group. Electron microscopy was performed to observe the pathological changes of cells. The apoptotic cells in tumor were detected using the TUNEL assay. The expression of CDglyTK in tumors from each group was examined by RT-PCR. Results Tumor growth was dramatically inhibited in group Ⅰ. Tumor growth has no significant difference among groupⅡ , group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ. The apoptotic rate (34.20±4.60)% was significantly increased in group Ⅰ (F= 243. 22, P= 0. 00) and it had no significant difference among groupⅡ , group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ (P＞0.05). Conclusion AdKDR-CDglyTK with 5-FC/GCV can obviously inhibit the growth of human KDR-expressing pancreatic cell line Capan-2 and induce the cell apoptosis in vivo. The probable molecular mechanism lies in the facts that the system can cause a decline in the level of Bcl-2.
