A L-serine producing facuhative methylotroph mutant (Mth~H、Gly~R)was derived from Pseudomonas flava A3 by combination treatment with ultraviolet(UV)and diethylsulfate(DES).It could accumulate 6.2g/L L-serine in the medium containing 30g/L glycine and 1% methanol as carbon source when it was cultured for 3 days,and it has an improvement about 67.6% compared with the origin.The mutant also has a good stability of descendiblity of L-serine producing.

Although natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery provides excellent cosmesis,it is not being widely accepted because of the restriction in aspects of technology,instruments and ethics.As a bridge,laparoendoscopic single site surgery(LESS)has been widely applied in digestive surgery,including bariatric,gastric,hepatobiliary and colorectal surgery.Although LESS provides excellent cosmetic results,and its safety and feasibility seems similar to conventional laparoscopy in most procedures,its effectiveness in the treatment of malignant tumors still needs to be proved. Compared with conventional laparoscopy,LESS has the drawbacks of longer operation time and higher demand in experience.Besides,because digestive tract reconstruction is often needed after resection,more convenient and applicable instruments need to be invented for the development of LESS.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of 3-aminobenzamide on the kidney of STZ-induced diabetic rats.Methods Experimental rats were divided into normal control group(group NC),diabetic control group(group DC) and diabetic rats treated with 3-aminobenzamide(group DT).The indexes such as the creatinine clearance rate(Ccr),the ratio of kidney weight to body weight,the contents of blood glucose,24h urinary protein,malonaldehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) were tested in each group after 4 weeks.The expression of PARP was tested by immunohistochemistry method.Results Compared with group DC,the 24h urinary protein,Ccr and the concentration of MDA were decreased in group DT,as well as the activity of SOD and GSH-Px was enhanced(all P

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and influence factors of a new silver salt method for determination of arsenic in drinking water. Methods Arsenic was determined at different reaction temperature,acidity, specification and addition of zinc granular, fill weight of lead acetate cotton, and the effect of these factors on assay results was observed. Arsenic in drinking water was determined in accordance with standard test methods (GB/T 5750.6) of the new silver method. Results The recoveries of the arsenic were 75.3％ - 93.6％(F =9.21,P ＜ 0.01 ) with reaction temperature at 10 - 30 ℃, and the best reaction temperature was 25 ℃. The recoveries of the arsenic ranged from 80.3％ - 91.6％(F =4.67, P＜ 0.05) when sulfuric acid was 3.0 - 6.0 ml and the best value was 5.0 ml. The recoveries of the honeycomb structural zinc granular(diameter 0.2 - 0.3, 0.3 - 0.4 mm) and button zinc granular were 87.2％, 90.7％ and 83.0％, respectively; the best specification was 0.3 - 0.4 mm. The recoveries of zinc granular weight(3 - 5 g ) were 74.6％ - 91.7％, respectively; the best was 5 g. The recoveries ranged from 79.6％ - 91.3％ with fill weight of lead acetate cotton at 25 - 100 mg, the best fill weight was 50 mg.The recoveries of the arsenic were 90.7％, 92.5％, 81.5％ and 74.2％ with lead acetate cotton length at 0.5 - 2.0 cm,and the best loose-tight degree was 1.0 cm. The stability time of arsine solution was 5.0, 4.0, 2.5 h with corresponding temperature at 20, 25, 30 ℃, respectively. ConclusionsIn order to ensure precision and accuracy of the measurement, it is necessary to control reaction temperature, acidity, specification and addition of zinc granular free from arsenic, fill weight of lead acetate cotton and loose-tight degree in the reaction system.

In Western countries, the mutation status of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes is commonly determined for genetic counseling among members of families with a history of breast or ovarian cancer, especially for women of the Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity. Recent studies in the Cancer Genome Atlas project have demonstrated that BRCA2 mutation carriers are more responsive to platinum-based chemotherapy among high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients. Thus, in Western countries, the mutation status of BRCA1 and BRCA2 is recognized to have an important value with which to assess cancer risk and therapeutic response. However, very limited studies of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations and their implications for counseling and therapeutic prediction have been conducted in China. Therefore, a potentially important genetic test that is technically simple has not benefited Chinese women with an increased risk of breast or ovarian cancer. This article summarizes the current progress in the study of BRCA1/2 mutation in China and recommends an increased effort in applying advances in genetic testing to the clinical management of Chinese patients with ovarian cancer.

Objective To investigate the role of compound traditional Chinese medicine Yiqilin in the regulation of immune-related genes expression in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR).Methods Ten SHR were randomly divided into test group(fed with Yiqilin and ordinary food at the ratio of 1:9 for 6 months,n=5)and control group(fed with ordinary food for 6 months,n=5).Total RNA was extracted from myocardial tissues of SHR after 6 months,and gene chip hybridization technique was employed to analyse the expression of immune-regulated genes of myocardial tissues in two groups.The genes with differentiation expression were screened,and were verified by Real-time PCR.Results The expression of 32 immune-related genes were up-regulated in the test group,including interleukin(IL)6 receptor,IL-6 signal transduction factor,chemotatic factor,antigen presenting molecule,antibody receptor,heat shock protein(Hsp), etc.No immune-related gene was down-regulated in test group.The results of 2 immune-related genes(Hsp 105 and Hsp 90)detected by Real-time PCR were consistent with those by gene chip hybridization.Conclusion Part of the immune-related genes in myocardial tissues in SHR may be up-regulated by Yiqiling,which indicates that Yiqiling may play a role in the regulation of expression of immune-related genes in SHR.
