Objective To compare the oil yield of celery seeds and the contents of 3-n-butylphthalide and the total phthalocyanine lactones of celery seed oil extracted by different methods. Methods Three routine extraction methods involving organic solvent extraction, Soxhlet extraction, steam distillation extraction, as well as subcritical extraction method and supercritical fluid extraction method were used to extract the celery seed oil. The contents of 3-n-butylphthalide and total phthalocyanine lactones were respectively detected by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) and ultraviolet visible spectrophotometry. Results The ranges of oil yield and the contents of 3-n-butylphthalide and total phthalocyanine lactones of celery seed oil extracted by different methods were 0.30%-20.02%, 1.40%-10.13%, 4.74%-17.65%, respectively, indicating obvious differences. Conclusion With R134a and butane as the solvents, the subcritical extraction method is better than other extraction methods for the extraction of 3-n-butylphthalide. With dimethyl ether as the solvent, the subcritical extraction method is the best for the extraction of total phthalocyanine lactones.

Objective:To investigate regulatory immune response induced by DNA vaccination encoding T cell receptor V?5.2 or V?2.1 chain predominantly displayed on ovalbumin (OVA)-specific T cell clone.Methods:BALB/C mice were vaccinated with pcDNA3.1 encoding T cell receptor (TCR) V?5.2 or V?2.1 chain respectively.Using RT-PCR,transcription of the recombined plasmids was analysed. Cell proliferation was measured by 3H-TdR incorporation.CTL response was assayed by JAM test.Immuno-fluorescent assay was used to examine the anti-TCR antibody level and the number V?2 +T cells.Results:RT-PCR analysis showed that the recombined plasmids can be transcripted in vivo and in vitro.DNA vaccine with TCR variable chain effectively induced TCR-specific humoral and cellular immune response,V?2 +T cells was not depleted by V?2.1 TCR-DNA vaccination,but rather was anergy.Conclusion:Regulatory immune response can be induced by DNA vaccination encoding TCR V? or V? region in normal mice.

OBJECTIVE To study the drug-resistant diversity of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from inpatients during recent five years.METHODS A total of 1 464 Gram-negative bacilli isolated were detected and retrospectively analyzed from 1999 to 2003.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using Kirby-Bauer method.RESULTS The resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to piperacillin rised from 17.6% of 1999 to 79.2% of 2003,and that to ciprofloxacin rised from 4.3% of 1999 to 36.0% of 2003.The resistance of Escherichia coli to quinolones was above 50%,while to third-generation cephalosporins was 30-40%;the resistance of E.coli to piperacillin rised from 42.9% of 1999 to 68.9% of 2003,and that to ciprofloxacin rised from 40.0% of 1999 to 73.5% of 2003.The resistance of Acinetobacter to piperacillin rised from 31.2% of 1999 to 67.5% of 2003,and that to ceftriaxone rised from 36.0% of 1999 to 74.1% of 2003.The resistance of Serratia to ceftazidime,ceftriaxone,gentamicin,amikacin and piperacillin rised sharply.Imipenem was the most active antibiotic tested against Gram-negative bacilli.Cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam also showed excellent activity against Gram-negative bacilli.CONCLUSIONS During recent five years,the resistance of the most common Gram-negative bacilli has increased rapidly.How to delay the resistance development of common strains become a global problem.

Objective To explore the damage effect of high level of glucose on ECV304 cells and the approaches in which high level of glucose plays its part to provide theoretical bases for the therapy of diabetes.Methods ECV304 cells were divided into four groups:normal control,high glucose group in which glucose was added to the cells with final concentration of 35 mmol?L-1,Radix Astragali(RA) group in which glucose was added to the cells with final concentration of 35 mmol?L-1,as well as RA with final concentration of 500 mg?L-1,mannitol group in which mannitol was added to the cells with final concentration of 25 mmol?L-1.The cells were cultivated for 24 h after the glucose,RA and mannitol were added to the cells and collected for the determination of intracellular Ca2+ concentration,mitochondrial membrane potential and the morphological changes of cells and mitochondria were observed under electronic microscope.Results The intracellular Ca2+ concentration in the cells of high glucose group was significantly higher than those of RA group,mannitol group and normal control group(P

This study aims to observe different factors which affected the bionic enzymatic hydrolysis of icariin into baohuoside I and to optimize the reaction conditions in order to provide research foundation for building a novel bionic enzymolysis drug delivery system. To simulate the environment in vivo, 37 degrees C was set as the temperature and artificial intestinal juice and gastric juice were selected as the buffer solutions. Taking the conversion of baohuoside I as index, the effects of the kinds of enzyme, enzyme activity, substrate concentration, reaction time, pancreatin in artificial intestinal juice and surfactant on the conversion of baohuoside I were investigated. The results showed that cellulase, beta-glucosidase and snailase were all inactive in artificial gastric juice and no baohuoside I generated. Pancreatin in artificial intestinal juice couldn't significantly influence the activity of beta-glucosidase or snailase (P > 0.05), but noticeably decrease the activity of cellulase (P < 0.05). In artificial intestinal juice, the conversion of baohuoside I was highest by using beta-glucosidase, and the optimum reaction conditions were determined as follows: enzyme activity 10 U x mL(-1), substrate concentration 1 mg x mL(-1), 3 g x L(-1) rhamnolipid and reaction time 3 h. Under this condition, the conversion of baohuoside I was 99.8%.

The transesterification reaction conditions of lard with methyl acetate with combined use of immobilized lipases as catalysts were conducted. Initially, according to single factorial experiments, the studies on Lipozyme TL IM and Novozym 435 respectively catalyzed transesterification of lard showed that the optimal parameters of transesterification reaction were: the molar ratio of methyl acetate to oil of 14∶1, 40% enzyme added based on oil weight, temperature 50℃. Combined use of Lipozyme TL IM and Novozym 435 was proposed further to improve the catalytic performance by the response surface method (RSM). Herein, a 5-level-3-factor central composite rotated design was employed to evaluate the effects of lipase loading, the proportion of the two lipases and amount of methyl acetate. The optimum conditions were as followings: 40% lipase loading based on oil weight, 50%/50% the proportion of lipases (Novozym 435/Lipozyme TL IM), and the molar ratio of methyl acetate to oil of 14∶1. And under the optimal conditions, the highest biodiesel yield of 97.6% could be attained, which was higher than the biodiesel yield with each single one of the two lipases. The results suggested that the technics of combined use of certain immobilized lipases catalyzed transesterification reaction of lard for biodiesel production with methyl acetate as the acyl acceptor could raise the FAME yield and save the production cost.
