Microbiology 1992;0(06):-
The effect on the growth and phenol degradation of the thermophilic strain BF80 by seventeen different metal ions were studied. The results showed that the metal ions certainly affected the growth and phenol degradation of the strain BF80. At the concentration of 0.01%,contrasting to the comparison,the growth and phenol degradation of the strain BF80 were restrained intensively by the metal ions of Cu2+,Zn2+,Co2+,Ba2+,Hg2+,Ni2+,Ag+,Al3+. The metal ions of Cr2+ restrained the phenol degradation of BF80 strongly while Cr2+ restrained the growth of BF80 faintly. The metal ions of Sn2+,Fe2+,Fe3+,Pn2+ restrained the growth and phenol degradation of the strain BF80 at a certain concentration,and the effect of inhibition in-creased with the increase of the concentrations of the metal ions. At the low concentration of Mn2+ or Mo2+,the growth and phenol degradation of the strain BF80 were increased,but if the concentration beyond the 0.1%,the growth and phenol degradation of the strain BF80 were inhibited. At the different concentration of Ca2+ or Mg2+,the growth of the strain BF80 were increased and the phenol degradation were accelerated,but the max rate of phenol degradation by BF80 was not influenced obviously. When the medium was added themixture of metal ions of Mo2+ and Mn2+,the strain BF80 grew better,but the rate of the phenol degradation was lower than that of single Mo2+ and Mn2+.

Objective To investigate the expression changes of SSR in the process of cardiac remodeling.Methods Myocardial infarction (MI) was induced by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation in mice to establish cardiac remodeling model.Mice subjected to isoproterenol (ISO) subcutaneous injection for 2 weeks to establish acute cardiac injury model.Mice subjected to aortic banding (AB) to establish a mouse model of cardiac hypertrophy.RT-PCR was used to detect the expression change of SSR in various cardiac remodeling models.Results The expression levels of SSR subunit 1 (SSR1) and 3 (SSR3) were significantly decreased in mice after 2 weeks of MI (P < 0.05),and were also decreased in acute cardiac injury induced by 2 weeks of ISO injection (P < 0.05),and reduced afterl week of AB operation (P < 0.05).However,the expression of SSR1 and SSR3 increased at 2 weeks after AB (P < 0.05),and sustained to 8 wccks after AB (P < 0.05).Conclusion The expression of SSR3 and SSR1 in different models of cardiac remodeling were significantly changed,and showed dynamic changes,suggesting that it may participate in the occurrence and development of cardiac remodeling.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of long and short InterTan intramedullary nailing of senior intertrochanteric hip fracture in conjunction with early total care (ETC).Methods In this prospective study, records of 30 elder patients with intertrochanteric fracture hospitalized between January 2011 and September 2013 were included.Using the concept of ETC, the patients were treated with long (long-nail group, n =15) and short InterTan intramedullary nails (shortnail group, n =15) within 72 hours postinjury.The two groups were compared for operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, Harris hip score, time to pre-injury mobilization and hardware failure rate.Results Operation time was (77.25 ± 7.38) minutes in long-nail group versus (72.10 ± 6.90) minutes in short-nail group (P < 0.01).Time to pre-injury mobilization was (7.45 ± 1.61) months in long-nail group versus (8.57 ± 2.18) months in short-nail group (P < 0.05).There were no significant differences between long-and short-nail groups regarding the blood loss [(180.75 ± 38.26)ml vs (178.62 ± 34.79)ml], fracture healing time [(4.82 ± 1.12)months vs (4.76 ± 1.04) months], and Harris hip score [(83.75 ± 1.71) points vs (82.57 ± 2.18) points] (P > 0.05).Conclusions Either long or short InterTan intramedullary nailing combined with ETC is effective in treatment of intertrochanteric hip fracture in the elderly.However patients treated with long nails return to pre-injury mobilization relatively earlier.Long InterTan intramedullary nail system is better for the patients combined with serious osteoporosis.
