Taxol is one of the most important chemotherapeutic drugs against cancer. Taxol has been mainly extracted from the bark of yews for a long time. However, methods for the extraction of taxol from the bark of Taxus species were inefficient and environmentally costly. As a result of the high ecological toll exacted on trees with the potential for Pacific yew extinction, investigators began to look for other methods of taxol production. Recently, increasing efforts have been made to develop alternative means of taxol production, such as using complete chemical synthesis, semi-synthesis, Taxus spp. plant cell culture and microbe fermentation. Using microbe fermentation in the production of taxol would be a very prospective method for obtaining a large amount of taxol. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the molecular basis and genetic regulation mechanisms of taxol biosynthesis by endophytic fungi, which may be helpful to construct the genetic engineering strain with high taxol output. In this paper, the taxol biosynthesis pathway from Taxus cells and the advantages of taxol biosynthesis by endophytic fungi were discussed. The study on the isolation and biodiversity of taxol-producing endophytic fungi and the taxol biosynthesis related genes are also discussed.

Objective    To explore the risk factors for lymph node metastasis in patients with T2 stage non-small cell lung cancer. Methods    The clinical data of 271 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from 2014 to 2017 were collected, including 179 males and 92 females, with an average age of 62.73±0.58 years. The patients were divided into N0, N1, and N2 groups according to the lymph node metastasis status. The clinical data of the patients in different groups were compared. Results    The body mass index (BMI, P=0.043), preoperative lymph node enlargement (P<0.001), and tumor diameter (P<0.001) were significantly different among groups. The BMI (OR=1.131, 95%CI 1.001-1.277, P=0.048) and preoperative lymph node enlargement (OR=3.498, 95%CI 1.666-7.342, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for N2 lymph node metastasis, and tumor diameter was an independent risk factor for both N1 (OR=1.538, 95%CI 1.067-2.218, P=0.021) and N2 (OR=1.814, 95%CI 1.196-2.752, P=0.005) lymph node metastasis. Conclusion    Patients with high BMI or enlarged lymph nodes before surgery have a high risk for N2 lymph node metastasis, and those with large tumor diameter have a high risk for both N1 and N2 lymph node metastasis.
