This study was performed to prepare immobilized β-glucosidase and snailase, then optimize and compare the process conditions for conversion of icariin. Immobilized β-glucosidase and snailase were prepared using crosslink-embedding method. The best conditions of the preparation process were optimized by single factor analysis and the properties of immobilized β-glucosidase and snailase were investigated. The reaction conditions including temperature, pH, substrate ratio, substrate concentration, reaction time and reusing times of the conversion of icariin using immobilized β-glucosidase or snailase were optimized. Immobilized β-glucosidase and snailase exhibited better heat stabilities and could remain about 60% activity after storage at 4 degrees C for 4 weeks. The optimized conditions for the conversion of icariin were as follows, the temperature of 50 degrees C, pH of 5.0, enzyme and substrate ratio of 1 : 1, substrate concentration of 0.1 mg x mL(-1), reaction time of 6 h for β-glucosidase and 2 h for snailase, respectively. In 5 experiments, the average conversion ratio of immobilized β-glucosidase and snailase was 70.76% and 74.97%. The results suggest an effect of promoted stabilities, prolonged lifetimes in both β-glucosidase and snailase after immobilization. The immobilized β-glucosidase and snailase exhibited a higher conversion rate and reusability compared to the free β-glucosidase and snailase. Moreover, the conversion rate of immobilized snailase was higher than that of immobilized β-glucosidase. The process of icariin conversion using immobilized β-glucosidase and snailase was moderate and feasible, which suggests that immobilized enzymes may hold a promise for industrial usage.

_ Objective_ To observe the effect of vaspin on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in rats and its potential mechanism. Methods Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells( BMSCs) from 4 weeks aged rats were isolated and cultured. The BMSCs were treated with osteogenic induction medium and different concentrations of vaspin and Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor DKK1. The proliferation was detected by CCK8 method at 24, 48, 72 h. After 7 days, the mRNA expressions of ALP, Runx2,β-catenin were detected by realtime qPCR. The expression levels of Runx2 and β-catenin protein were detected by Western blot. After 21 days, alizarin red stained mineralized nodules and quantitative detection were performed. Results Vaspin had no effect on the proliferation but promoted the expression of osteogenic differentiation gene ALP, Runx2, and also increasedβ-catenin mRNA and expression of Runx2 and β-catenin protein. Mineralized nodules were brown and increased, OD value of vaspin group was higher than control group. After adding the DKK1, the expression of ALP, Runx2,β-catenin mRNA and Runx2, β-catenin protein were significantly decreased(all P<0. 05). Conclusion Vaspin can promote BMSCs into osteogenic differention through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the association between urinary lactate/creatinine ratio and neonatal asphyxia,and to clarify the application value of urinary lactate/creatinine ratio in forecasting the hypoxie-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)in neonates.Methods Using case-control study design method,40 cases of neonatal asphyxia infants were selected as asphyctic group and 40 healthy infants were used as control group.The urinary lactate/creatinine ratio in the first day after birth, urinary N-Acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG)/creatinine and the score of Apgar of 80 infants were detected.The relationship between the urinary lactate/creatinine ratio,urinary NAG/creatinine ratio, as well as the score of Apgar and HIE were analyzed and compared in asphyctic group and control group.Results The Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min in asphyctic group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01). The urinary lactate/creatinine ratio and urinary NAG/creatinine ratio in asphyctic group 1 d after birth were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.01).There was significantly negative correlation between the urinary lactate/creatinine ratio and the 1-min and 5-min Apgar scores(r=-0.636,P<0.001;r=-0.883,P<0.01),but there was a significantly positive correlation between the urinary lactate/creatinine ratio and urinary NAG/creatinine ratio(r=0.433,P<0.01).Conclusion The urinary lactate/creatinine ratio may have decisive roles in prognosis evaluation of neonatal asphyxia,and so as the important foundation for the prediction of HIE.

BACKGROUND:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have became the hot topic in current studies and play an important role in the tumorigenesis. However, lncRNAs involved in the osteoblast differentiation remain poorly reported.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of human LncRNAs in osteogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells induced by bone morphogenetic protein-2 and explore action mechanism.
METHODS:The induction of bone morphogenetic protein-2 was validated by alkaline phosphatase staining and the expression of corresponding genes was detected. The lncRNA expression profile was analyzed using the Arraystar lncRNA array in C3H10T1/2 MSCs undergoing early osteoblast differentiation. The expression with or without bone morphogenetic protein-2 induction was compared with high-flux sequencing, and the down-regulated genes were screened. The effect of lncRNA overexpression on osteogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells induced by bone morphogenetic protein-2 was observed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The bone morphogenetic protein-2 induced C3H10T1/2 cells led to increased alkaline phosphatase activity. After 72 hours of bone morphogenetic protein-2 induction, alkaline phosphatase, Id1,osteocalcin, Runx2, sp7 expression were increased (P<0.05). There were 24 down-regulated lncRNAs identified between bone morphogenetic protein-2 treated and untreated groups, the decrease of expression was 1.5 folds, and among them, only AK035085 contained intron. Compared with control group with no AK03508 expression, over-expression lncRNA AK035085 decreased the expression of alkaline phosphatase, Id1, osteocalcin, Runx2, sp7 (P<0.05). Experimental findings indicate that bone morphogenetic protein-2 induces osteogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells and AK035085 inhibits the osteogenic differentiation.
