In order to compare the characteristics of ethano l production, a serie s respiratory deficient mutants (rho -) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the ir wil d parent strain (rho +) were assayed for ethanol yield, ethanol fermentation ki netics, ethanol tolerance, and activities of ethanol-dehydrogenase. The data i nd icated that: Though the average amount of ethanol produced by mutants rho - a nd by wild rho + strains were similar, some mutants produced a little more amount of ethanol than wild type. The kinetics curve of ethanol fermentation suggested t h at rho - mutants had a little higher ethanol fermenting speeds than wild type . Th e activity of ethanol-dehydrogenase per unit weight of protein of rho - mutan ts c ells were higher than that of wild strain rho +; the activity of ethanol-dehyd rogenase per unit volume of fermentation medium of rho + were higher than that rho - mutants,mainly due to the higher biomass of rho + were higher than that of rho - mutan ts. Some rho - mutants could tolerate higher ethanol concentration than wild rh o + stra in, but some not. If higher ethanol tolerance and higher ethanol yield rho - mu tants were used in fermenting process,higher ethanol yield would be expected,but some problems such as that rho - mutants grew slowly should be considered.

4. Analysis of changes in physiological indices and essential oil of Lysimachia nummularia Aurea under NaCl stress
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2013;48(6):423-427
OBJECTIVE: To study the changes in physiological indices reflecting resistance to environmental stress and volatile constituents of Lysimachia nummularia Aurea. METHODS: Different concentrations (150, 200, 250 and 300 mmol · L-1) of NaCl solution was used to treat young Lysimachia nummularia Aurea to investigate the effect of saline stress on the seedling growth. The changes of physiological indices including soluble sugars, proline, SOD and so on were assayed. Volatile constituents were analyzed by head space solid-phase microextration (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). RESULTS: With increasing stress intensity, the contents of soluble proteins declined, those of soluble sugars increased gradually, the content of proline reached the maximum value when saline stress intensity was 250 mmol · L-1, and the contents of chlorophyll a and b decreased firstly and rose later above 250 mmol · L-1. MDA content and SOD activity rose gradually under saline stress with increasing stress intensity. POD activity was significantly lower under the saline stress than the control group. CAT activity rose firstly and rapidly declined later. The volatile constituents of L. nummularia fluctuated after saline stress. CONCLUSION: L. nummularia has relatively higher saline resistance by means of active accumulating osmoregulation substances such as soluble sugars, soluble proteins and enhancing capability of antioxidase.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and pcrcutaneous transhcpatic insertion of biliary stent (PTIBS) for malignant biliary obstruction.Methods PTBD or PTIBS were performed in 56 patients with malignant biliary obstruction, which were aused by hepatic carcinoma (n = 14), biliary duct carcinoma (n = 11), gallbladder carcinoma (n = 5),stomach carcinoma accompanied with metastasis of lymph node (n = 14), carcinoma of ampulla (n = 1 ) or carcinoma of pancreatic head (n = 11 ). The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography, CT or MRI in all patients. The obstructed site was well identified, including high obstruction in 19 patients and lower obstruction in 37 patients. Based on the imaging findings, suitable interventional procedure was employed.Results PTBD or PTIBS were performed successfully in all 56 patients, of them PTBD was adopted in 11,PTIBS in 40 and both PTBD and PTIBS in 5. The serum total bilirubin decreased from (295.65±152.86)μmol/L before the procedure to (151.05 ± 107.36) μmol/L after the procedure, (P < 0.01 ). Postoperative infection could affect the fading of jaundice (P < 0.01 ), but the location of the obstruction carried no relationship with the fading of jaundice (P = 0.063). Conclusion Both PTBD and PTIBS are safe and effective palliative therapies for malignant biliary obstruction, which can markedly relieve patient of jaundice,improve the quality of life and elongate the survival period.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of hospital infection and the pathogen type,distribution and drug resistance,in the intensive care unit of our hospital,to direct proper antibiotics use and supply the scientific basis for hospital infection control. Methods The clinical data of 392 inpatients in our intensive care unit from April 2008 to March 2010 were monitored prospectively and analyzed retrospectively. Results Of the 392 impatients,78 cases had hospital infection (19.89% 78/392),112 time-case infection (28.57% 112/392). The most common infection was the main respiratory tract infections accounted for 54.46% (61/112) ,followed by urinary tract infections accounted for 15. 19% ( 17/112 ), blood infection accounted for 11.61% (13/112). 152strains pathogens were identified in the study,in which G- bacilli accounted for 69.7%, G+ bacteria accounted for 17. 8% and fungi accounted for 12.5%. Main pathogens such as acinetobacter baumannii ,pseudomonas aeruginosa,klebsiella pneumoniae, staphylococcus aureus showed multiple drug resistance in different degrees. Conclusions Intensive care unit has a high nosocomial infection rate,lower respiratory tract infection is the most frequent type and the main pathogens have different degrees of multi-drug resistance. Standardized, rational use of antibiotics,prevention of the multi-drug resistant bacteria spread may help to reduce the occurrence of hospital infection in intensive care unit.
