Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF ) was originally found fromretinal pigment epithelium. It is confirmed that it plays an anti-angiogenic and apoptosis role in diabetic microangiopathy. Recently ,PEDF has been found to have a close relationship with insulin resistance ,type 2 diabetes and diabetic macroangiopathy. But the mechanism is unclear. More and more researches focused on its role in oxidative stress. PEDF may become a new target for diabetes and diabetic complication treatment and also a predictive factor for the disease.

This paper introduces the principles of an Environmental Temperature Supervising Network System, explain its hardware and software structure and the function of network system. The whole system is proved stable and reliable by experiment. It may have some profit in the market and great future in the application.

Catechol-type siderophores secreted by a strain of soil bacteria in three different medium were assayed by two high-resolution TLC.The results showed different medium had a significant effect on the secretion of catechol-type siderophores,and in three different medium strain S1 produced different catechol-type siderophores.The effect of Al~(3+) on Catechol-type siderophores by S1 were also assayed.The results showed Al~(3+)had a significant stimulation on the secretion of catechol-type siderophores.Moreover,Al~(3+)could to some extent counteract the repression of Fe~(2+)on siderophores production.In KMB medium four catechol-type siderophores were identified and all ones except for 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid(2,3-DHBA) had high affinity for Al~(3+).

Lipases have catalytic active in both aqueous phase and the non-aqueous phase and have a wide range of application in various industrial areas.However,the high cost of lipase production has restricted its extensive use in industry.Solid state fermentation possesses many advantages,such as low requirement for devices,low energy consumption,low production cost,little pollution to environment and easily being popularized,which have made it an important means in microbial production of lipases.Owing to the rapidly increased energy cost and the people's awareness of environmental protection,the solid state fermentation technique,which was regarded as low-tech in the past,has regained attention and developed rapidly since the 1990s.The production of lipase by SSF technique was reviewed.Mainly contents describe its characteristics,including physical and chemical factors and bioreactors.

OBJECTIVE To compare the treatment effects of secreory otitis media with artificial eustachian tube insertion and tympanotomy tube insertion.To provide useful information for the treatment of secretory otitis media.METHODS Seventy-one patients(86 ears) with secretory otitis media were randomly divided into tow groups:experimental group(36 cases,44 ears) and control group(35 cases 42 ears).The experimental group was treated by artificial eustachian tube insertion under nasal endoscope.Drugs were injected through the tube into the tympanic cavity everyday after flushing it. The control group were treated by traditional method—the tympanic ventilation tube.All patients were followed up for 6 months.RESULTS The experimental group: 21 ears(47.73%) were cured,19 ears(43.18%) were straightened up,and no effects observed in 4 ears (9.09%).The control group:12 ears(28.57%) cured,17 ears(40.48%) wered straightened up and no effects obsered in 13 ears(30.95%).The efficiency rate of the experimental group(90.91%) was much higher than the control group(69.05%,P

Abstract Objective: To study the relationshiop between the HBV pre-c mutant and the clinical the, the host immunity. Methods: Mu-tation specific PCR(msPCR) was employed for detecting pre-c mutant in 92 cases with HBV-DNA positive;T subpopulations were determinedby APAAP immune-bridge assay; the cytokines (TNF?、 sIL-2R ) levels by ELISA. Results: 57 cases had Pre-c mutant, the rate was ahaut 62 %;pre-c mutant existed popularly in different e systems status, mainly in anti-HBe(+) serum. The reat increased with the deterioration of liverfunction, and was highest in fulminant hepatitis, the percentage of CD4 T lymphocyte and the ratio of CD4/CD8 were aignificantly lower in mu-tational group than in wild group,but CD8 T lymphocyte was obviously higher, the quantity of sera TNF? and sIL-2R in mutational group wereobviously higher than in wild group, both groups were obviously higher than control group. Conclusion:PreC 1896 mutant existed popularly inpatients with HBV infection. There were more serious disturbance in host immunity in mutant group. The mutant may be associated with the pre-ssare of host immune system.The mutant type virus could provoke host immunity resulting in severe liver damage.
