Glycosyltransferases (GTs) catalyze the transfer of a sugar residue of an activated sugar donor to an acceptor molecule. Many families 1 GTs utilize an uridine diphosphate (UDP) activated sugar as donor in the glycosylation reaction, and most of these belong to a group of GTs referred to as the UGTs. The relationship between the degree of amino acid sequence identity and substrate specificity of the plant UGTs is highly complicated, and the prediction of substrate specificity based on phylogenetic analyses need to be improved by more biochemical characterization. This review summarizes the three dimensional structures of plant UGTs published in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), including the detailed substrate interactions with the sugar and receptor binding pockets and mutational analyses of some critical amino acids. It will be helpful for biochemical characterization the substrate specificity of the individual UGT, and lay the foundation for the enzymatic and genetic manipulation of plant UGTs in the future.

Objective To compare the effect of Baikerui compound lysostaphin (FE complex phosphoesterasum) disinfectant and povidone iodine in treatment of burn wound infection resulted from gram-positive (G ±) coccus.Methods The study involved 60 patients with superficial second degree burns (1％-5％ TBSA； age range of 18-50 years).All the patients received bacterial culturing of wound secretions prior to treatment.Every 20 patients were indentified with infection of staphylococcus aureus (SA),staphylococcus epidermidis (SE),and enterococcus (EC) respectively and randomized into control group and experiment group,with 10 patients per group.Patients allocated to the experiment group were covered with four-layer sterile gauze soaked into the Baikerui compound lysostaphin disinfectant,while the patients in the control group were treated with four-layer sterile gauze soaked into the povidone iodine.Dressing was changed once a day.Wound culturing was performed again at each day of the 5-day treatment.Wound healing was compared among each group.Results SA wound infection turned negative for all the 10 patients in experimental group and three patients in control group (P ＜ 0.01).SE wound infection turned negative for all the 10 patients in experimental group and six patients in control group (P ＜ 0.05).EC wound infection turned negative for nine patients in experimental group and seven patients in control group (P ＞ 0.05).Mean wound healing time was (10.87 ± 1.93) days for experimental group and (13.31 ± 2.89) days for control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Baikerui compound lysostaphin disinfectant can effectively prevent burn wound infection with common G + coccus and accelerate wound healing.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and causes of death in patients with acute heart failure at aged 75 and over.Methods The prospective study collected 175 patients with acute heart failure from January 2012 to December 2014.They were divided into ≥75 years old group and＜75 years old group and the general clinical data were recorded.Follow-up was performed mainly by telephone with supplemented hospitalization follow-up and outpatient follow-up.Survival rates were assessed by Kaplan-Meier method.The survival rate difference between the two groups was compared using the log-rank test.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for death.Results The proportions of ischemic heart disease,hypertension and old myocardial infarction were higher in the elderly group than in the young group with a higher proportion of male,diabetes and body mass index in ＜75 years old group.Elderly group had a higher level of left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and a lower level of total cholesterol,triglycerides and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C).Kaplan-Meier curves showed that allcause mortality(x2 =4.005,P =0.045) and non-cardiovascular mortality(x2 =4.418,P =0.041) were significantly higher in the elderly group than in the younger group,whereas cardiovascular mortality had no significant difference between the two groups (x2 =0.754,P =0.385).In patients with noncardiovascular mortality,12 cases (63.2％)died of pulmonary infection in elderly group,3 cases(25.0％) died of lung infection in younger group,and the difference was statistically significant between the 2 groups (x2 =4.288,P =0.038).Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that age≥75 years was an independent predictor for both non-cardiovascular mortality [HR(95％CI):2.71(1.50-6.55),Wald x2 =2.266,P=0.038]and all-cause mortality[HR(95 ％CI):1.75(1.28-3.13),Wald x2 =2.914,P=0.026]in patients with acute heart failure.Conclusions Age ≥75 years is an independent risk factor for all dead patients with acute heart failure and noncardiovascular death,but it is not the independent risk factors for cardiovascular death,which is of great significance to establish a more rational treatment strategy for senile heart failure.

The chalcone synthase (CHS) superfamily of the type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) generates backbones of a variety of plant secondary metabolites. Benzalacetone synthase (BAS) catalyzes a condensation reaction of decarboxylation between the substrates of 4-coumaric coenzyme A and malonyl coenzyme A to generate benzylidene acetone, whose derivatives are series of compounds with various biological activities. A BAS gene Pcpks2 and a bifunctional CHS/BAS PcPKSI were isolated from medicinal plant P. cuspidatum. Crystallographic and structure-based mutagenesis studies indicate that the functional diversity of the CHS-superfamily enzymes is principally derived from small modifications of the active site architecture. In order to obtain an understanding of the biosynthesis of polyketides in P. cuspidatum, which has been poorly described, as well as of its activation mechanism, PcPKS2 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli as a C-terminally poly-His-tagged fusion protein, purified to homogeneity and crystallized, which is helpful for the clarification of the catalytic mechanism of the enzyme and lays the foundation for its genetic engineering manipulation.

ObjectiveTo approach the value of diagnosis with the 256-slice spiral CT in severe tetralogy of Fallot of infant.MethodsFrom January 2008 to December 2010,48 cases (severe tetralogy of Fallot of infant) were examined with 256-slice spiral CT preoperatively.All cases were then analyzed in workspace with maximum intensity projection(MIP),multiplanar reconstruction(MPR) and volume rendering (VR),while compared with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and surgical results.Results CT examination found that TTE misdiagnosis 4 cases of patent ductus arteriosus and 6 cases of aortic coarctation.Meanwhile,CT showed 6 aorta pulmonary collateral arteries in 5 cases.In 48 cases,surgical results confirmed 47 cases by 256-shce spiral CT,while 33 cases by TTE.The diagnosis accuracy rate of 256-slice spiral CT and TTE was 97.9％ (47/48) and 68.8％ (33/48) respectively.There was statistically significant difference of the two inspections in diagnostic accuracy (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionThe inspection of 256-slice spiral CT can benefit the preoperative diagnosis and operation program in severe tetralogy of Fallot of infant.

Objective To investigate the effect and possible mechanism of high mobility group box (HMGB) 1 in the development and progress of rheumatoid arthritis.Methods PBMC and serum samples were obtained from 74 RA patients (38 in active stage and 36 in stable stage) and 26 healthy controls.The expression of HMGB1 mRNA and protein was detected by RT-PCR and ELISA.Flow cytometry analysis ( FCM ) was used to detect the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 on PBMC.Results ①The expression of HMGBI mRNA and protein in active RA patients was significantly higher than that in healthy controls and inactive RA patients [2.63 vs 0.71，0.93 and (10.2±1.2) vs (7.5±1.8)，(8.3±1.8) ng/ml，respectively](P＜0.01 ).② The relative expression of TLR4 protein on CD14+ monocytes and CD3+ lymphocytes in active RA patients was increased than that in inactive RA and healthy controls (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ).It was also higher in inactive RA than in healthy controls (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ).③ Level of HMGB1 protein in serum of RA patients was positively correlated with ESR，CRP，RF，the numbers of tender joints and swollen joints as well as radiographic changes.Conclusion HMGB1 can be synthesized and released by PBMC of active RA patients，and then bind to TLR4 of PBMC to promote inflammatory responses and bone erosion.

Objective To study the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of CYP2E1 and the susceptibility of the acute leukemia in Gansu population. Methods The C609T polymorphism of CYP2E1 gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction (PCR-LDR) and 1∶1 matched casecontrol method in 100 healthy persons (control group) and 100 patients with acute leukemia (AL group).Results The C2 allele genotype and C1C2/C2C2 genotype of CYP2E1 gene occurred more frequently in AL group (13.5 % and 22 %, respectively) than those in control group (10.5 % and 19 %, respectively), however,both differences showed no statistical significant. Further stratified analysis, the C1C2/C2C2 genotype of CYP2E1 gene occurred more frequently in AML group (27%) than that in control group (19 %), but difference had no statistical significant, too. The occurrence frequency of the C2 allele genotype and C1C2/C2C2 genotype of CYP2E1 gene showed no significant difference in ALL group and control group (x2=0.446, P =0.504>0.05). Conclusion Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2E1 don't correlated to susceptibility of acute leukemia(AML and ALL) in Gansu population.

Objective To analyze the reasons and treatment methods of high transprothetic pressure gradient after aortic valve replacement. Methods The clinical data of 45 patients with high transprothetic pressure gradient after aortic valve replacement were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were followed up for average 24.6 (12 - 40) months. The postoperative effective orifice area (EOA) of artificial valve was measured by transthoracic color Doppler ultrasound. Compared with published referred EOA of different artificial valve, there were 2 kinds results:measured EOA=referred EOA and measured EOA0.85 cm2/m2 and EOAI<0.85 cm2/m2. The reasons of high transprothetic pressure gradient were analyzed according to the above different standard. Results In the 45 patients with high transprothetic pressure gradient after aortic valve replacement, prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) was in 33 cases, and prosthetic dysfunction was in 10 cases, among whom 5 cases were because of thrombus (3 cases improved after increasing the dosage of warfarin, 2 cases underwent re-aortic valve replacement), 3 cases were because of severe bioprosthetic calcification (underwent re-aortic valve replacement), and 2 cases were because of prosthetic ring pannus and influenced movement of the leaflets (underwent re-aortic valve replacement). High flow in the left ventricular outflow tract occurred in 2 cases. The patients had no obvious discomfort, and did not receive special treatment. Four cases died, among whom 2 cases were because of severe PPM, and the other 2 cases were because of noncardiac. Conclusions Many reasons can result to the high transprothetic pressure gradient, and the PMM is the most common reason. Choosing the right treatment plan can improve the survival rate of patients.

Resveratrol is a natural phytoalexin with special pharmacological and health functions. Stilbene synthase (STS) is a key and rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of resveratrol that is present only in a limited number of plants. The content of resveratrol from Polygonum cuspidatum is more than 1000 times higher than grapes and peanuts. We speculate that the catalytic ability of different STS may be one of the reasons causing differences in the content of resveratrol. To verify the above speculation, Vitis vinifera stilbene synthase gene (VvSTS) was amplified according to overlap PCR protocol with genomic DNA as template. VvSTS and PcSTS (PcPKS5) were analyzed through heterologous expression in Escherichia coli. The expression products were purified with Ni-NTA sepharose affinity chromatography and desalted through PD-10 column. The molecular weight of the two fusion proteins was about 43 kDa. Enzyme reaction and product analysis showed that the two products were resveratrol. The enzyme kinetic analysis showed that the catalyze efficiency (Kcat/Km) of PcPKS5 was 2.4 times of the VvSTS. Our findings confirms that STS from certain plants has much higher catalytic capability.
