2.Advances in Application Studies of FAD2 on Biosynthesis of Industrial Fatty Acids
China Biotechnology 2006;0(05):-
Many unusual fatty acids present in the seed oils of non-food plants are modified at the ?12 position either by the addition of epoxy or hydroxy groups or by the formation of triple (acetylenic) bonds or conjugated double bonds. The introduction of these functionalities into C18 fatty acids is catalyzed by a family of divergent forms of the fatty-acid ?12-desaturase (FAD2) enzyme. Genes encoding these enzymes have now been cloned from a variety of organisms and expressed in transgenic oilseeds. However,the accumulation of the intended fatty acids in transgenic plants has been relatively disappointing,and the mechanisms of these unusual fatty acids biosynthesis and transferring from phosphatidylcholine into storage triacylglycerols still need to be elucidated.

Objective To explore the long-term effect of open reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of displaced acetabular fracture,and analyze the influence of risk factors.Methods The clinical data of 62 patients with acetabular fracture from August 2005 to February 2009 was analyzed retrospectively.All the cases were treated with open reduction and internal fixation.The long-term effect and related risk factors were analyzed.Results All the cases were followed up for 24-52(38.8 ± 2.6) months.According to the Matta standard of replacement of fracture,there were 43 cases with anatomic reduction,14 eases with satisfactory reduction,5 cases with unsatisfactory reduction.Fracture union was obtained in all the patients.Based on the modified Merled' Aubigne -Postel clinical grading system,the result was excellent and good in 50 patients,fair and poor in 12 patients,with excellent rate of 80.65% (50/62).Postoperative complications including traumatic arthritis were seen in 7 patients,heterotopic ossification in 3 patients and femoral head avascular necrosis in 1 patient.The related risk factors of clinical results of displaced acetabular fracture were age,Letournel-Judet fracture type,operation time,cartilage surface damage of the femoral head and quality of reduction (P < 0.05 ).However,gender,AO fracture type,surgical approach and hip dislocation were not affecting factors of the acetabular fracture(P > 0.05 ).Conclusions Open reduction and internal fixation can result in a satisfactory clinical outcome.Age,Letournel-Judet fracture type,operation time,cartilage surface damage of the femoral head and quality of reduction are independent risk factors affecting postoperative long-term functional outcomes.

Objective To investigate acute cell damage and delayed inhibition effects by pulsed electric fields(PEFs)with different frequencies on human ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV3 in vitro and in subcutaneous transplanted tumor of human SKOV3 in BALB/c nude mice,and evaluate the potential use of relatively higher frequency PEFs to reduce unpleasant sensations without decreasing therapeutic effects in clinical electrochemotherapy.Methods Firstly,SKOV3 cell suspension were exposed to PEFs with gradient increasing frequencies(1,60,1 000,5 000 Hz)and voltages(50,100,150,200,250,300,350,400 V),respectively.MTT assay was used to determine the acute cell damage.Then PEFs with gradient increasing frequencies(1,60,1 000,5 000 Hz)and fixed voltage (250 V)were applied to the subcutaneously transplanted tumor,in vivo antitumor assay was used to observe the delayed inhibition effect;histological changes were observed by light and electron microscope. Results The 1 Hz PEFs has similar cytotoxic effects with 5 kHz,and no significant difference of delayed tumor inhibition effect on subcutaneous transplanted tumor among all groups exposed to different frequencies of PEFs(P>0.05).Histological observation showed acute damage in all exposed groups.and only in 5 kHz group was induced apoptotic effect observed.Conclusions PEFs with relatively higher frequency can achieve similar tumor killing effect with the low frequency PEFs,and it can also induce apoptosis.Relatively higher frequency PEFs show therapeutic potentials for reducing unpleasant sensations in clinical electrical treatment of tumor.

The management of the scientific research files is an important basic work at the college,which is of great significance to the research work in both school and the scientific research organizations.However,some researchers and managers are lack of file consciousness and the management system remains unadapted to the new condition.These reasons result in the use of the dossiers inadequate or even absent.Therefore,it seems necessary and important for the perfection of the scientific research file work to take essential measures:establishing a scientific and reasonable file system,improving the file management regulation,and increasing the utilization ratio of the dossiers.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the method and clinical outcomes of feeding tube placement and periopera-tive nutritional support for esophageal carcinoma patients. Methods:A total of 513 esophageal carcinoma patients who have undergone radical resection and reconstruction by a single operating group between January 2012 and December 2013 participated this study. Feed-ing tubes were inserted via the nasal path of 497 cases and by jejunostomy in 16 cases. Early enteral nutrition (EN) was administered through the feeding tubes 24 h postoperatively with a stepwise increase, whereas supplementation of parenteral nutrition (PN) was ter-minated until total EN. Results:Feeding tubes were successfully inserted in all patients during operation. No death or nutritional and metabolic disorders were documented during the observation period. No differences in anastomotic fistula, pulmonary complication, and incision infection were identified between the nasointestinal and jejunostomy groups (P>0.05). A higher incidence of intestinal ob-struction was observed in the jejunostomy group than in the nasointestinal group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Effective placement of nasoin-testinal tube and early enteral feeding are safe and effective methods for patients who have undergone esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma.
