To improve and optimize marine antimicrobial peptide R-1 production by a newly isolated Brevibacillus laterosporus Lh-1, Plackett-Burman (PB) design and response surface methodology (RSM) using central composite design was adopted in culture conditions. MINITAB 15.0 was used for planning the experiments, data analysis, contour diagrams and response optimizations. In this study, PB design was undertaken to evaluate the effects of the fifteen factors. By the statistical regression analysis, the significant factors affecting the novel antimicrobial peptide R-1 in submerged fermentation by Br. laterosporus Lh-1 were determined as follows: glucose, peptone and CaCl2. Then a RSM was used to optimize the above critical internal factors, and the optical concentration of the variables were deter-mined as: 15.72 g/L glucose, 6.01 g/L peptone and 3.29 g/L CaCl2. The content of R-1 was increased from 82.15 kU/mL to 116.27 kU/mL.

Objective To determine the threshold of stroke volume variation (SVV) in determining the volume expansion responsiveness during fluid therapy in patients ventilated with different tidal volumes. Methods Fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-75 yr undergoing elective gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 tidal volume groups (n = 25 each):group Ⅰ VT 8 ml/kg (group V1) and group ⅡVT 10 ml/kg (group V2). Radial artery was cannulated and connected to Vigelo monitor for continuous monitoring of cardiac index (CI), stroke volume index (SVI), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) and SVV. Internal jugular vein was cannulated for CVP monitoring. Anesthesia was induced with milazolam, propofol, fentanyl and rocuronium and maintained with intravenous propofol and remifentanil infusion. BIS was maintained at 40-50 during anesthesia. The patients were intubatel and mechanically ventilated (VT 8/10 ml/kg, RR 8-12 bpm, oxygen flow 2 L/min). 6% HES 130/0.4 7 ml/kg was infused iv at a rate of 0.4 ml·kg-1 ·min-1 after induction of anesthesia. MAP, HR, CVP, CI, SVV, SVI and SVRI were recorded before and at 3 min after fluid therapy. The changing rate of SVV (△SVV) and CI (△CI) were calculated. The criterion for effective volume expansion was △CI 15%. The ROC curve for SVV in determring the volume expansion responsiveness was plotted and the diagnostic threshold was determined. Results ROC curve showed that the diagnostic threshold of SVV was 10.5 % in group V1 and 13.5% in group V2. The sensitivity and specificity in determining effective volume expansion were 93.3 % and 75.0 % in group V1 and 87.5 % and 85.7 % in group V2 respectively. The area under the curve for SVV and 95% confidence interval (CI) were 0.946 (0.860-1.031) in group V1 and 0.951 (0.868-1.034) in group V2. △SVV was negatively correlated with △CI in group V1 (=0.553) and V2 (= 0.602). Conclusion The threshold of SVV in determining the volume expansion responsiveness during fluid therapy is 10.5% and 13.5% in mechanically ventilated patients with tidal volume of 8 and 10 ml/kg respectively.

Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3)in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in a rat model of bone cancer pain.Methods Twenty-four female Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 3-4 weeks,weighing 180-220 g,were randomized into 2 groups:sham operation group (group S,n =8) and bone cancer pain group (group P,n =16).Bone cancer pain was induced by inoculating Walker 256 carcinoma cells into the medullary cavity of the left tibia,while group S received normal saline instead.The pain threshold was measured after determination of body weight on the day of inoculation (T0) and on 1,3,5,7,9,11 and 14 days after inoculation (T1-7).The tibia was removed for microscopic examination of the inoculated tibia and X-ray examination.The growth of tumor cells and damage to the tibia were observed.The expression of ASIC3 in the DRG was detected using immunofluorescence.Results The tumor cell infiltration occurred in the medullary cavity and bone destruction was observed in P group.Compared with S group,the body weight was decreased at T3-T7,and the pain threshold was decreased at T4-T7,and the expression of ASIC3 in the DRG was upregulated at T7 in P group (P < 0.05).Conclusion ASIC3 protein expression in DRG is significantly up-regulated in the rats with bone cancer pain,suggesting that the pathway may be involved in the mechanism of bone cancer pain.
