A novel strain,which could use 2-hydroxypyridine (2HP) as the sole source of carbon,nitrogen,and energy,was isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil at the Liaohe estuarine wetland.Strain 2PR was identified as Arthrobacter based on the morphology and 16S rRNA gene sequence.The optimum growth and degradation condition upon 2PR is 30℃ and pH 7.0,respectively.Under this condition,2HP degradation rate were 97.34%,94.95%,94.48% and 89.21% with 2,4,6 and 8 mg/ml initial concentration of 2HP at 42,96,120 and 156 h,respectively.Strain growth and 2HP degradation kinetics studies indicated that the strain followed Logisitic model,which could provide a theoretical and technical reference for the biodegradation of 2HP.The color of strain 2PR culture upon 2HP-MSN changed from colorless to blue,and then turned to brown.The blue pigment,which was observed at the culture of strain 2PR,was identified as 4,5,4',5'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-diazadiphenoquinone-(2,2') by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis.The LC-MS signal with m/z =249.1 was observed in resting cells reaction sample with 2HP as the substrate.The degradation of 2HP might be achieved by a dioxygenase to produce 2,3,6-trihydroxypyridine,which could transformed to the blue pigment spontaneously,and then 2,3,6-trihydroxypyridine was converted with an pyridine-ring cleavage reaction.Among all the reported strains,strain 2PR has the strongest tolerance and the highest 2HP degradation efficiency at present.The strain has a promising application potential for 2HP waste treatment.

Glycerol enema, mainly composed of glycerol, sorbitol, and magnesium sulfate, was a kind of OCT caccagogue. The application of convenience, low prices made it used widely in patients with constipation. However, if the drug should not follow the indications and application of Methods , a series of improper consequences will be caused.

The JC virus is a widely infected human polyomavirus. Recent foreign researches showed that the JC virus infection is correlated with tumors of nervous system and digestive system, while, and study on the relationship between JC virus infection and gynecological tumor is seldom reported. In this study, we first establish the nucleic acid detection methods and procedures for JC virus and its highly homologous BK virus. The JC and BK viruses infection was evaluated by detect the viral DNA in samples including biopsy tissues, serum as well as urine of myoma of uterus (98 cases), cervical cancer (84 cases), endometrial cancer (40 cases) and ovarian tumor (72 cases) patients. The BK viral DNA positive rate was significantly higher in urine samples than that of blood and biopsy samples, and there is no significant difference of the BK viral DNA positive rate among all patient groups. The JC viral DNA positive rate is almost 0 in serum samples and biopsy. tissues, however, viral DNA positive rate is more than 50% in urine samples. In fibroids group, the JC viral DNA positive rate is up to 65. 3% which is significantly higher than that in other patients groups and healthy control. Further gynecological tumor associated viruses detection showed that only human papilloma virus infection is associated with cervical cancer, the herpes simplex virus, EB virus and cytomegalovirus infection is extremely low in our patient groups. No synergistic effect on gynecological tumor caused by viruses co-infection was observed. Our study showed that JC virus infection is highly related to the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids.

Identification and functional analyses of antiviral restriction factors in hosts have become hot research topics. Four HIV restriction factors, APOBEC3G, Trim5alpha, Tetherin, and SAMHD1, have been identified in recent years. By encoding auxiliary proteins, lentiviruses can counteract host restriction factors. For example, the auxiliary proteins Vif, Vpu, and Vpx of HIV antagonize APOBEC3G, Tetherin, and SAMHD1, respectively. Furthermore, these auxiliary proteins enable the entry of HIV into host cells and influence the replication and pathogenicity of HIV. In this paper, we review the research progress in the functions of the three HIV auxiliary proteins that can antagonize the host restriction factors.

Objective To investigate the influence of epigallocatechin gallate ( EGCG)on reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mouse podocytes exposed to high glucose. Methods Mouse podocytes cultured in high glucose were exposed to different concentrations of EGCG (0.2, 10, 100 μmol/L) or α-tocopherol (0.2 μmol/L) for 6, 12, 24 hours. The viability of podocytes was detected by MTT. The intracellular formation of ROS was detected by confocal microscopy with fluorescent probe CM-H2DCFDA and was measured by fluorescence microscopy. RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of p22phox, p47phox and p67phox mRNA in cultured podocytes exposed to different concentrations of EGCG. Results Intracellular ROS generation was significantly higher in high glucose than that in control conditions (P<0.01). EGCG could significantly inhibit ROS induced by high glucose significantly (P<0.01). EGCG (100 μmol/L) led to an inhibition of the increased production of NADPH oxidase components of p22phox and p67phox mRNA in high glucose (P<0.05). The expression of p47phox mRNA in high glucose was inhibited by EGCG(0.2 μmol/L) and ot-tocopherol(0.2 μmol/L) (P<0.05). Conclusion EGCG can protect cultured mouse podocytes from injury of high glucose by inhibiting ROS formation.

Objective:To optimize the extraction technology of compound Xiongdan capsules. Methods: The effects of water a-mount, decoction duration and decoction times on the water extraction technology were investigated by orthogonal design using the ex-tract derivation rate and the content of ginsenoside Rg1 , Re and Rb1 as the indices. Results:The optimal water extraction conditions for ginseng and Nidus vespa were as follows:decocting three times with 8-fold of water, and extracting for one hour each time. The extract was condensed until the relative density was 1.20(80-90℃), and then dried and crushed into fine powder. The other herbs were crushed into fine powder and screened by No. 5 meshes. The above powder was blended and well mixed with starch, and then packed into capsules. Conclusion:The optimized water extraction technology is stable, feasible and reproducible, which provide reference for industrial production.
