The effects of exogenous Na-DL-3-hydroxybutyate (3-HOBNa)and insulin(I) on skeletal muscle protein metabolism in rats inflicctcd with 37% TBSA full thickness scalding were studied It was found that the scrum acctoacctatc (AcAc) of the burned animals showed no significant difference from the control on the 4th day postburn,but the free fatty acid (FFA) decreased markedly and the urinary 3 - methylhistididne(3-MH) excretion and the protein de -gradation rate of the soleus muscle of the injured hind limb increased na kedly.Infusion of 3-HOBNa for 3 consecutive days following burns could lower the urinary 3-MH excretion and the protein,degradation rate of the soleus muscle with no significant influence on the skeletal muscle protein anabolism.Moreover,investigations revealed that there was no syncrgistic effect of insulin-kctone body combinalioan on the anti-catabolic capacity in burned rats.

Objective To investigate the relationship between inflammatory factors,including C-reactive protein( CRP),tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),adiponectin,leptin and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and their changes in puerperiunr Methods From June 2008 to May 2010,40 cases with gestational diabetes mellitus,40 cases of normal pregnancy were enrolled in this study.Fasting venous blood were obtained at early pregnancy (10 - 12 weeks),late pregnancy (36 -38 weeks) and day 3 and 42 of postpartum.Serumal adiponectin,leptin and TNF-α were measured by ELISA,and serumal CRP were measured by particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric method.The levels of those 4 cytokines and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index were compared between two groups.And the changes of 4 cytokines were calculated in puerperium.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) for TNF-α predicting GDM was designed.Results ( 1 ) The relationship between cytokines and HOMA-IR:the levels of adiponectin of (5.7 ± 1.8 ) mg/L in the GDM group were significantly lower than ( 8.1 ± 2.7 ) mg/L in control group in early pregnancy,and the level of adiponectin was negatively correlated with HOMA-IR (r=-0.333,P＜0.05).The levels of (28 ± 10) μg/L of leptin,( 10.0 ±3.4) ng/L of TNF-α and (4.7 ± 1.1 ) mg/L of CRP in GDM group were significantly higher than ( 20 ± 8 ) μ,g/L of leptin,(4.6 ±2.7) ng/L of TNF-α,(2.4 ± 1.2 ) mg/L of CRP in control group,which were positively correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =0.411,0.529,0.308,all P ＜ 0.05 ).In late pregnancy,the level of adiponectin ( 3.9 ±2.2) mg/L in the GDM group was significantly lower than ( 6.6 ± 2.7 ) mg/L in control group,and the level of adiponectin was negatively correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =- 0.344,P ＜ 0.05 ).The levels of ( 37 ±13) μg/L of leptin,( 12.7 ±2.6) ng/L of TNF-α and (6.7 ±3.6) mg/L of CRP in the GDM group were significantly higher than ( 30 ± 13 ) μg/L of leptin,(5.8 ± 2.1 ) ng/L of TNF-α,( 4.4 ± 3.1 ) mg/L of CRP in control group,which were positively correlated with HOMA-IR (r =0.414,0.487,0.285,all P ＜0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the level of TNF-α at early and late pregnancy was most correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =0.390,0.284,all P ＜ 0.05 ).( 2 ) The level of the cytokines and HOMA-IR in puerperium:at day 3 of postpartum,the level of adiponectin of (3.3 ± 1.1) mg/L in the GDM group was significantly lower than (6.2 ± 1.5 ) mg/L in control group,which was negatively correlated with HOMA-1R (r =- 0.283,P ＜ 0.05 ).The levels of ( 31 ± 13 ) μg/L of leptin,( 10.1 ± 5.7 ) ng/L of TNF-α and (35.1 ±6.5) mg/L of CRP in the GDM group were significantly higher than (21 ± 15) μg/L of leptin,(5.6 ± 3.0) ng/L of TNF-α,(30.5 ± 8.5) mg/L of CRP in control group.And leptin and TNF-α levels were positively correlated with HOMA-IR (r=0.372,0.494,all P ＜0.05).At day 42 of postpartum,the level of adiponectin in GDM group was negatively correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =- 0.299,P ＜ 0.05 ),and the levels of leptin and TNF-α were positively correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =0.401,0.442,all P ＜0.05 ).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the level of TNF-αt at day 3 and day 42 was most correlated with HOMA-IR ( r =0.363,0.274,all P ＜ 0.05 ).( 3 ) ROC analysis of data from early pregnancy showed that the threshold for TNF-α to predict GDM was 5.45 ug/L.Conclusion TNF-ot might be the index to predict GDM and evaluate prognosis.

A thiosulfate-oxidizing bacterium TX was isolated from polysulfide wastewater treatment system.It was preliminarily identified as Halothiobacillus sp.according to its morphological,physiological proper-ties and similarity analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence(GenBank accession No.EU871645).This bacte-rium was an obligate chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium since it could utilize thiosulfate,elemental sulfur,tetrathionate,sulfide or sulfite as sole energy source but did not show growth on the me-dium with glucose,sucrose,fructose,lactose,mannose or yeast extract as sole carbon source.The optimal growth condition for thiosulfate oxidation was 30?C~35?C and pH 3.0~5.0 respectively.Significant reduc-tion in medium pH from 4.0 to 1.2 was observed due to oxidation of thiosulfate to sulfate during the batch culture incubation period.During the course of thiosulfate oxidation accumulation of tetrathionate was ob-served either in synthetic medium or in the mixed liquor from aeration tank of the polysulfide wastewater treatment system.This indicates that the "S4 intermediate(S4I)" pathway was responsible for thiosulfate oxidation in this bacterium.
