Lactic acid production and antagonistic property of five strains of LAB isolated from piglet intestine were investigated. The results showed that among all strains L5 exhibited the most rapid production and highest amount of lactic acid in the culture. Consequently, the pH in L5 culture showed the fast decline, with the final value significantly lower than those of other cultures. Strain L1 showed the least production of lactic acid and highest pH among all strains. Culture supernatants of the five strains showed different degrees of antagonistic effect against pathogenic E. coli K88, K99, 987P, O141, E1, and S. aureus. When taking out the effect of the acid, the culture supernatants still showed 22%~53% inhibitory effect, suggesting that the bacteria produced other inhibitory substances apart from lactic acid. The inhibitory effect of the culture supernatant was above 92% after heat treatment and above 85% when treated with proteases.

ObjectiveTo identify mutations ofGATA4 andGATA6 genes in children with isolated congenital atrial septal defect (ASD).Methods From November 2012 to November 2013, 101 patients with ASD (99 unrelated patients and one twin) who were submitted to catheter-based intervention and 100 ethnicity-matched children without congenital heart disease, blood disorders and chromosomal abnormalities were enrolled. The blood was collected. The coding regions and lfanking regions of theGATA4 andGATA6 genes were ampliifed by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced using the dideoxvnucleotide chain termination technique, and then compared with the normal sequence in the Genbank.Results Two novel heterozygous missense GATA6mutations, c. G145A and c. G151A, were identiifed in 2 unrelated ASD patients, which were not present in the controls. These two mutations predicted the conversion of glycine into serine at amino acid residue 49 (G49S) and glutamate into lysine at amino acid residue 52 (K52E). A heterozygous missenseGATA6 mutation c.43 G>C, which caused a conversion from glycine to arginine, was found in 9 ASD patients and 7 controls. A single nucleotide polymorphism c.99G>T, which did not cause amino acid conversion inGATA4 gene, was found.ConclusionsGATA6 gene is an important transcription factor in heart development. The mutation ofGATA6 gene may cause the change of its transcriptional activity, and lead to ASD.
