China Biotechnology 2006;0(07):-
Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising new source of renewable biofuel that can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels.Researches have been done over the last decades.And considerable progress has been made.The abilities and pathways of natural microorganisms to produce ethanol from cellulose are different.So the researches of reconstructing and recombinating the useful genes from different strains are of great significance to improve the yield of ethanol production and reduce the cost.The characteristics and mechanisms of natural ethanologenic strains and the research progress of constructing recombinant strains was introduced and also analyzed the perspectives and challenges.

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the optimal regimen for patients with inoperable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC).The application of new technologies such as positron emission tomography (PET)/CT and four dimensional CT (4D-CT) enhances the accuracy of radiotherapy and decreases adverse reaction.Induction chemotherapy and consolidation chemotherapy do not show benefit to survival.The targeted therapy and immunotherapy have the potential of improving the outcomes of inoperable LA-NSCLC.

Objective To compare the manipulation of two different methods of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT),the guidewire dilating forceps (Portex method) and the modified onestep dilation technique (Ciaglia Blue Rhino method,CBR method).Methods From March 2013 to February 2014,48 patients eligible to meet the criteria of tracheostomy in ICU were collected and were divided into two groups at random.The length of time consumed for operation,amount of blood lost during operation and the operation complications were compared between two groups.The participant surgeons were asked which method they preferred,Portex or CBR.Results Of them,the mean age was 76.7 ± 11.6 years old,and 25 patients (52.1%) were male.The reasons for tracheotomy were the length of time needed for mechanical ventilation support expected to be longer than 2 weeks (n =30),severe disturbance of consciousness (n =17),and upper airway obstruction (n =1).The patients enrolled in the study were randomly divided into Portex and CBR groups.There were no significant differences in age,gender,APACHE Ⅱ score,the reason of tracheotomy,the length of time for mechanical ventilation support before tracheotomy,and the preoperative coagulation function between two groups.CBR method can easily be done with less operation time required than Portex [(5.9 ±4.3) min vs.(9.9 ± 1.5) min,P <0.01],and had obviously fewer operation complications and less amount of blood lost than Portex method (P < 0.05).The male surgeons with a slew of surgical practice were in preference to Portex,whereas female doctors with less work experience and without surgical practice preferred CBR.Conclusions The CBR method can easier be done and was better than the Portex method in minimizing operative trauma and reducing the complications,especially it can easily be accepted by female doctors with less work experience and without surgical practice and it is worth using widely in clinic.

A bacterial strain Eml isolated from contaminated soil of Shengli oil field was identified as Rhodococcus ruber according to its phenotype, physiological and chemical properties, and its 16S rRNA gene sequence. This strain could degrade various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as well as alkanes in petroleum, and produce bioemulsifier. The results indicated that strain Eml could produce bioemulsifier efficiently when n-hexadecane was used as sole carbon source. The optimal conditions for the synthesis of bioemulsifier were as followed: 10g/L of n-hexadecane, 1g/L of yeast extract, media initial pH 7, and cultivation was carried out at 30℃ on a rotary shaker at 200 rpm. Under these conditions the surface tension of culture decreased to the lowest value, around 30 mN/m, after 1 day, and the emulsifying capacity was 100% . The concentration of bioemulsifier reached to the highest value, around 68 times of CMC , after 5 days' cultivation. The results also showed that the bioemulsifier produced by this strain should be lipid.

Objective To understnad the defense mechanisms of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and to explore its relationship with childhood abuses.Methods One hundred and forty-two outpatients with BPD (group A),63 outpatients with other personality disorders (group B) and 20 outpatients without any Axis Ⅱ diagnoses (group C) were enrolled and completed Chinese versions of the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse Questionnaire (CECA.Q) and the Defensive Style of Questionnaire (DSQ).Multivariate analysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis were used for data analysis.Results Compared to group B and C,the score of defense mechanisms reported by group A were significantly increased in all eight premature defense mechanisms,such as projection(F =26.5,P < 0.05),passive aggression (F =18.1,P < 0.05),acting out (F =28.3,P < 0.05),complaint (F =16.7,P <0.05),fantasy(F =16.3,P < 0.05),splitting (F =28.8,P < 0.05),withdrawal (F =8.3,P < 0.05),somatization(F=7.6,P < 0.05),and part of the middle defense mechanisms,such as omnipotence-devaluation(F =9.2,P < 0.05),isolation(F =4.7,P < 0.05) and identification (F =10.0,P < 0.05).At the same time,the BPD patients got lower scores in the mature defense mechanisms,such as sublimation (F =4.1,P < 0.05) and repression(F =3.9,P < 0.05).Those who experienced physical abuse use more complaint (F =6.9,P < 0.05),denial mechanisms (F =5.2,P < 0.05) and less anticipation one (F =4.6,P < 0.05).Those who experienced sexual abuse use more somatization (F =4.4,P < 0.05) and isolation mechanism (F =3.6,P < 0.05).Conclusions BPD patients would like to use more immature and middle defense mechanisms and less mature ones.Emotional,physical and sexual abuse from parents and other adult care takers have a correlation with immature defense mechanisms,which indicates the importance of care about parental rearing patterns and mental health of children.
