1.Application of Microorganisms in the Degradation of Polluted Chemicals in Aquatic Environments
Microbiology 2008;35(5):809-814
Every year, waters on earth receive large quantities of wastewater from industry, agriculture, fish and poultry raising, and municipal sewage treatment plants. Consequently, the aquatic environment on the earth is under a serious challenge from a very large quantity of pollutants such as antibiotics, insecticides, herbicides, hydrocarbons, etc., contained in the domestic wastewater, industrial and agricultural waste water and illegal effluents. In particular, with the development of intensive aquiculture and poultry, the effluent pollution has recently become more and more serious with more attentions. Furthermore more and more chemical pollutants discharged into aquatic environment have been detected with the advancement of analytical techniques. These chemicals can cause toxic effects on water habitats after discharged into aquatic environment. However, microorganisms have many key functions in pollution control. In this review, applications of microorganism in the degradation of chemicals in aquatic environments are reviewed. It was concluded that most applications of microorganisms degrading chemicals focused on aquaculture waters, whereas other aquatic systems (such as river, lake, sea, coastal waters) have been scarcely studied.
2.Effects of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene transfection on cytokines and cAMP production in human phagocytic cells
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(04):-
AIM and METHOD: Human endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene was transfected into human phagocytic cell U937 and the effects of gene transfer on cytokines and cAMP production were observed. RESULTS: A functional eNOS was stably expressed in transfected U937 cells, but NO release was undetectable in intact transfectants. However, eNOS gene expression upregulated tumor necrosis factor - a release and downregulated interleukin - 10 and cAMP production in either presence or absence of NOS inhibitor N? - monomethyl - L - arginine. CONCLUSION: The function of tranfected eNOS gene product showed cellular speciality. The effector molecule that changed the produced pattern of cytokines and cAMP in phagocytic cells seems not likely the nitric oxide.

China Pharmacy 2017;28(1):126-130
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the quality of sampling drugs of Hubei province,and to provide reference for drug enter-prises and supervision department. METHODS:The data obtained by Hubei Institute for Food and Drug Control about provincial drug sampling and testing from 2013 to 2015 were summarized,the overall quality and unqualified items were statistically analyzed according to current standard. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The number of total sampling batches was 7721 and that of the un-qualified batches was 333 (4.3%) during 2013-2015. Most of the unqualified samples came from distribution units (2.8%-9.0%) and medical institutions (5.2% -11.7%). Among all sample types, the herbal medicine has the highest unqualified rate (12.1%-37.4%),with the largest number of unqualified items(content determination,supplement inspection item,property,resid-ual amount of sulfur dioxide,ash content). The quality of pharmaceutical preparations is relatively stable,and the unqualified items correlated with drug types and dosage forms. The current issues of provincial drug sampling and testing are the variety of standard levels,unreasonable sampling resource allocation and the low level of the industry. Supervision department is proposed to readjust drug standard,reasonably plan sampling and testing process and strengthen production source controlling.
