High efficient dyes decolorizing bacterium, strain S12~T, was isolated from activated-sludge of textile-printing wastewater treatment plant. The strain was identified as a novel specie of the genus Shewanella, for which the name Shewanella decolorationis sp. nov. is proposed. It's decolorizing rate reached 96% in 4h, when 50mg/L of azo dye was used. The organism exhibited a remarkable color removal capability, even at azo dye's concentration of 2,000mg/L. A clear decolorizing zone around each colonies appeared after four days grown on LB plate containing 500mg/L azo dye. The changes of UV-visible spectra of azo dye solution indicate that the color removal was largely attributed to biodegradation. The decolorizing enzymes of strain S12~T were constitute type and not secreted to the culture medium.

Objective To investigate the effect of forced-air warming system on the cellular immune function during radical esophagus cancer resection. Methods Thirty-six ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes, aged ≤ 64 yr, with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2 , scheduled for elective radical esophagus cancer resection, were randomized to 2 groups ( n = 18 each): normal temperature care group (group C) and forced-air wanning group (group T) . Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, sufentanil, propofol and vecuronium. The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated. The patients were not warmed intraoperatively in group C. In group T, the patients were prewarmed for 20 min at 43℃, using forced-air warming system before induction and then kept warm until the end of operation. The nasopharyngeal temperature was measured at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after anesthesia induction and at the end of operation (T1-6 ) to reflect the body temperature. Venous blood samples were taken at T1,6 for analysis of T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3+ , CD4+ , CD8+ , CD4+ /CD8+ ) and NK cells (by flow cytometry) and determination of the plasma concentrations of noradrenaline and adrenaline (by ELISA) . Results Compared with T1 , the body temperature was significantly decreased at T2-6 in group C, and the percentage of CD4+ cells and CD4+ /CD8+ ratio were significantly decreased and the percentage of CD8+ and plasma concentrations of noradrenaline and adrenaline increased at T6 in both groups ( P ＜ 0.05). Compared with group C, the body temperature was significantly increased at T2-6, plasma concentrations of noradrenaline and adrenaline were significantly increased at T, , while the change rate of concentrations was significantly decreased in group T ( P ＜ 0.05) . ConclusionThe efficiency of forced-air warming system in maintaining perioperative normothermia is good and it reduces the stress response, but it exerts no influence on the cellular immune function in patients undergoing radical esophagus cancer resection.

Objective To investigate the effect of L-N6-(1-iminoethyl) Lysine(L-NIL) on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) -induced lung injury in a rat model of lung transplantation. Methods Pathogen free male SD rats weighing 250-350g were used as donor and recipient rats in this study. The animals were randomly divided into 3groups (n = 6 each): sham operation group (group S); lung tratsplantation group (group L) and lung transplantation + L-NIL (selective iNOS inhibitor) group (group L-NIL). In group L and L-NIL orthotopic left lung allograft transplantation was performed. In group L-NIL 3 mg/kg was injected iv at the beginning of reperfusion. The donor lungs were removed from live donor rats and placed in Euro-collins solution at 4 ℃. The lung transplantation was performed under microscope and non-suture cuff technique was used. The implanted donor lungs were ventilated and reperfused. 0.5% Evans blue 0.2 ml was injected iv during reperfusion. The donor lungs were removed after being implanted, ventilated and reperfused for 2 h for microscopic examination and determination of iNOS, endothelial NOS (eNOS) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) and Evans blue content in the lung tissue and W/D lung weight ratio. Results Lung transplantation significantly inceased W/D ratio, iNOS and MPO activity, and Evans blue and MDA content in the lung tissue and decreased eNOS activity in group L as compared with group S. L-NIL iv significantly attenuated the increase in the variables mentioned above and ameliorated capillary congestion and inflammatory cell infiltration in the lung. Conclusion Intravenous L-NIL administered at the beginning of reperfusion can reduce I/R injury to the transplanted donor lungs.

Objective There is still controversy over the effect of hyperglycemia on the tolerance of heart to ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury in patients with diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyperglycemia on I/R-induced ventricular arrythmia in isolated diabetic rat hearts. Methods Twenty-four healthy male SD rats weighing 210-250g were randomly divided into two groups: control group(C, n=10) and diabetes mellitus group(DM, n=14). Diabetes mellitus was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 60 mg?kg~(-1). Blood glucose was measured 72h later and every week thereafter. Diabetes mellitus was defined as persistent hyperglycemia(blood glucose≥16.7 mmol/L after meal). The diabeticrats received no insulin. The rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital 60mg?kg~(-1). The hearts were immediately removed and perfused with oxygenated(95% O_2, 5% CO_2)Krebs-Henseleit buffer(KHB)in a Langendorff apparatus at a constant perfusion pressure of 80 mm Hg. The 14 diabetic rats were further divided randomly into 2 subgroups: (1)DM+KHB (n=7) and (2) DM+GLU(n=7) in which glucose 3.6 g was added to KHB 1000ml. After 20 min equilibration all hearts were subjected to 30 min global ischemia followed by 40 min reperfusion. Epicardial electrocardiogram was monitored. The incidence of ventricular tachycardia(VT) and ventricular fibrillation(VF) and their duration were measured. The severity of arrhythmia was quantified by arrythmia score(AS). Coronary outflow was collected for determination of creatine kinase(CK) release. Results The incidence of ischemia-induced arrythmia was significantly lowered in diabetic hearts. The incidence of VT was 14.3% and VF 28.6% in DM+KHB subgroup as compared to 60%(VT) and 100%(VF) in the control group. The CK release was significantly lower in diabetes group(DM) than in control group(C); furthermore the CK release in DM=KHB subgroup was lower than that in DM=GLU subgroup. Conclusion Diabetic rat hearts are less susceptible to I/R induced arrythmia. Hyperglycemic perfusion reduces to some extent the increased tolerance to I/R injury in diabetic rat hearts as shown by increased CK release in DM+GLU subgroup but hyperglycemic perfusion has anti-arrhythmic action as shown by 0% incidence of VT and VF in DM+GLU subgroup.

Pulmonary function changes during and after cardiopulmonary bypass were studied using single breath test for CO_2 (SBT-CO_2) in 16 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The results showed that P_(A-a)CO_2 and P_(A-a)O_2 increased significantly after bypass though PaCO_2 kept in normal range by adjusting ventilation volume. The CO_2 production increased as time passed after bypass, resulting in the increase of required minute volume and the rise of airway pressure. Compliance showed a tendency to decrease, while physologic dead space and alveolar dead space increased significantly. It is concluded that the causes of pulmonary dysfunction occurring in early stage of post-bypass are mainly due to the V/Q mismatch induced by low perfusion of the lung. To improve the pulmonary function at the early stage of post-bypass, the circulatory function should be improved accordingly.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of propofol on coronary circulation of acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion inury. Metbod: 18 hybrid dogs (11-14kg) were divided randomly into three groups:NS group (normal saline, 2ml?kg~(-1)?h~(-1)), HP group (high-dose propofol, 11.2mg?kg~(-1)?h~(-1)), LP group (low-dose propofol, 5.6mg?kg~(-1) ?b~(-1)). These dogs were subjected to 90 min left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusions followed by 200 min of reperfusions. Before administration, 60 min after administration, 60min, 120min, 180min following reperfusion,coronary circulation was assessed by measurement of coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) and blood flow of LAD. Result: The values of CPP in HP and LP groups 60 minafter administration were significantly lower than those in NS group before LAD occlusion (P
