ObjectiveTo explore the effects of glycomacropeptide (GMP) in human milk and formula milk on proliferation ofbifidobacterium infantis and their dose-response relationship.Methods Casein was isolated from the milk of 30 healthy postpartum women from Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center in September 2014, and hydrolyzed by rennet to obtain GMP, which was then purified by ultrafiltration and ion exchange chromatography. Human milk GMP and cow milk GMP (0, 250, 500, 1 000, 1 500, 2 000 and 3 000 mg/L) were added tobifidobacterium infantis liquid medium, and cultured under anaerobic conditions. Concentration of bacteria was measured by turbidimetric microplate assay (detection of OD600 nmvalue of medium). Difference of proliferative activities ofbiifdobacterium infantis in human milk GMP and cow milk GMP was compared with independent samplest-test.ResultsPurified human milk GMP concentration was 1 712.20 mg/L, with a purity of 80.3%. Increasing the cow milk GMP initial concentration in the culture medium at 250-2 000 mg/L could increase the concentration and proliferation rate ofbiifdobacteria infantis. When cultured at 36 h with GMP of various concentrations, the proliferation ofbiifdobacteria infantis maintained at a logarithmic phase. Therefore, 36 h was chosen as the test time point to compare the proliferation ofbifidobacterium infantis. At 36 h, when GMP in the medium was 1 000, 1 500, 2 000 and 3 000 mg/L, concentrations ofbiifdobacteria infantis in human milk GMP were 2.255±0.036, 2.583±0.088, 2.877±0.080 and 3.219±0.081, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in cow milk GMP (2.115±0.053, 2.312±0.064, 2.542±0.090 and 2.894±0.076;t=4.867, 5.569, 6.192 and 6.516; allP<0.01).Conclusions Both human milk GMP and cow milk GMP can promote the proliferation ofbiifdobacterium infantisin vitro, and the proliferative activity in human milk is greater than in cow milk at the same concentration of GMP.

AIM To identify differentially expressed proteins in the plasma that may be used as biomarkers for heroin addiction through a two-dimensional (2-D)gel electrophoresis/mass spectrometry approach. METHODS Following removal of albumin and IgG,the plasma from 5 heroin abusers and 5 normal controls was separated by 2-D gel electrophoresis using immobi-lized pH gradients 4 -7 drystrip and PAGE. Gel ima-ges were analyzed using ImageMaster Elit 5.0. Differ-ential proteins were selected and analyzed through tan-dem mass spectrometry. RESULTS Average number for samples was 350±21 protein spots. In them there were 5 spots that differed by more than 1.5 fold be-tween the two groups obtained through image analysis.Through tandem mass spectrometry above spots were identified as fibrinogen γ (increased by 5 fold), hu-man α1-B-glycoprotein (decreased to 1/1.8 of control group), uncleaved α1-antitrypsin (increased by 2.5 fold), chain of transthyretin (decreased to 1/2 of con-trol group ) and ccruloplasmin (increased by 6.6 fold ). CONCLUSION There are differences between heroin abusers and normal controls in the blood plasma proteome. Some proteins may have a role in the damage to central nervous system through heroin abuse. Such proteins may provide novel biomarkers for diagnosis and therapeutic targeting, as well as clues forunderstanding the mechanism of heroin abuse.

Objective To investigate the effects of carbachol on intestinal inflammation and mucosal blood flow after gut ischemia-repedusion(I/R) in rat. Method A jejunal sac was formed in Wistar rats. The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was occluded for 45 mi-nutes followed by 240 minutes of reperfusion. Animals were random divided into three groups: sham operation, L/R + saline injection (I/R + NS) and I/R + carbachol injection (0.1mg/kg, I/R + Ca). Immediately after occluded of SAM blood flow, either 0.1mg/kg of carba-chol or same account of 0.9% saline was injected into the jejunal sac. The pathological injury was observed with HE staining. The activity of DAO and content of TNF-α in intestinal mucosa tissue were determined. Mucosal blood flow was measured by laser Doppler. All measure-ments were done at 0 min, 30 min, 60 min, 120 min, and 240 min after reperfusion. Result In I/R group the activity of DAO in intestinal mucosa and mucosal blood flow deceased, meanwhile the content of TNF-α gut tissue was dramatically increased than those in sham operation (P<0.01). Severe pathological changes were observed in intestinal mucosa. After injection of carbachol, the activity of DAO and mucosal blood flow increased (P<0.01), but the content of TNF-α in intestinal mucosa were dramatically decreased (P<0.01), compared with those in I/R group. Conclusion Administration of carbachol protects intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by attenuating intestinal mucosa inflammation and increasing gut mueosal blood flow.
