Though prokaryotic cells could hardly express recombinant human beta nerve growth factor (rhNGF-?) with a proper three-dimensional conformation, using of E. coli as a host for industrial production of rhNGF-? is controversial. Recombinant human beta NGF was expressed in E. coli and was refolded in vitro. The isolated products was shown to be consistent with those expressed and secreted by CHO cells in biochemical characters by SDS-PAGE, RP-HPLC, mass spectrometry, N terminal analysis and bioassay determined using DRG and PC12 cells. The products can be acquired with 95% purity, 1.8 ng/U biological activity from both expression system,which remain invariable biological activity when lyophilized in excipient and store at 37℃?2℃, RH 75%?5% for 3 months. Moreover, the product refolded from inclusion bodies of E. coli shows the predominance in homogeneity and the lower cost.

A total of 906 subjects with no history of diabetes who had undergone coronary angiography were included in this study and categorized into four groups according to the level of fasting plasma glucose (FPG):≤5.5 mmoL/L,5.6-6.0 mmol/L,6.1-6.9 mmoL/L,and ≥ 7.0 mmol/L.Significant coronary artery disease (CAD) was defined as ≥ 50％ reduction of lumen diameter at least in one major coronary artery.The severity of coronary atherosclerosis was defined by the Gensini score.The clinical data,laboratory indexes,and coronary angiography results were compared among various groups.The risk factors for the prevalence and severity of angiographic CAD were analyzed.The results showed that the prevalence of angiographic CAD,the number of diseased vessels,and the Gensini score were increasing with increasing FPG levels among four groups (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The FPG level was significantly correlated with angiographic CAD (P =0.004) and the Gensini score (P =0.010),suggesting that FPG was an independent risk factor for the prevalence and severity of angiographic CAD.

NAD +-dependent cytosolic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in Sacch aromyces cerevisiae is one of the key enzymes in metabolic pathway of glycerol . catalysing the reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glycerol-3-phosph ate.It has two isoenzymes.To study the differences between their structures, their expression of encoding genes and their functions may help increase the understan ding of the cell response mechanism to the hyperosmotic and anoxic conditions. In this paper the research on the two isoenzymes was reviewed.
