Five grams of urea and two milliliters of corn syrup were added into 1 liter ethanoldistilled wastewater with 8% solid dregs The activity of acid resistant ? amylase and glucoamylase produced by inoculated Aspergillus kawachii genetic engineering strain TR12 in the transformed liquid reached a level of 13 42U/mL and 246U/mL respectively after fermentation at 32℃ by the shaking flask for 70 hours The transformed liquid was circularly applied to the ethanol ingredient process without cooking room, not only it didn't influence the ethanol output and quality, but also it could efficiently reduce the pollution of ethanol distilled wastewater and the cost of ethanol production

Objective To investigate the correlation between degree of deeper infiltration of NPC on CT scan,prognosis and expression of P53 protein,in order to further recognize bilogical features of NPC.Methods Collect 70 NPC biopsy specimens,which had performed CT scan before radiotherapy and had detailed clinical records.The expression of P53 protein was examined by means of S-P immunohistochemical technique.The correlation between expression of P53 protein and peripheral deeper infiltration and prognosis was analysed in detailed.Results The results of these cases showed that the positive rate of over expression P53 were 68.57%,which had no relation with the histological types and pathological grades.The positive rate of P53 in Ⅱ、Ⅲ types had a higher positive rate than that of the Ⅰ type of NPC.Expression of P53 protein had no relation with neck lymph node metastasis,but had significant correlation with the size of metastatic lymph node,which is the positive rate of P53 in diameter of metastatic lymph node <4 cm was higher than that of diameter ≥4 cm.Expression of P53 had no relation with local recurrence and distant metastasis after radiotherapy.Conclusion With the tumor infiltrating the deeper layer of nasopharynx,the positive rate of P53 expression is more and more high,and degree of malignant is increasing.The three types on CT scan represents the biological features of NPC.

[Objective] To optimize the conditions of the extracting process of Hujin Granules. [Methods] The orthogonal design was applied. With the total emodin and the total anthraquinone (TA) content as the parameters for the alcohol-extraction, the concentration of alcohol, the volume of solvent and the extracting time were used for optimization of alcohol-extraction. With the total polysaccharide (TP) as the parameters for water-extraction, the soaking time, the volume of water and the extracting time were used for optimization of water-extraction. [Results] The optimum conditions of alcohol-extraction were: extracting with 70% alcohol 245 mL for 2 hours and extracting twice. The optimum conditions of water-extraction were: extracting with 80 mL water (not for soaking) for 1.5 hours, extracting 3 times. [Conclusion] The results indicate that the extracting process is rational and feasible, and can provide evidence for the extracting process of Hujin Granules.

AIM:To explore the influence of ethyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphinate(TPOL)on cell apoptosis and its potential mechanism.METHODS:HEK293T cells sensitive to TPOL were treated with different concentrations of TPOL with or without exposure to light radiation,before treatment with various inhibitors,N-acetyl-L-cysteine(NAC),pifithrin-α and Z-DVED-FMK.Cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay.Annexin V/propidium io-dide staining was used to count the number of apoptotic cells.DCFH-DA staining was used to detect reactive oxygen spe-cies(ROS)levels,and JC-1 staining was used to assess mitochondrial membrane potential by flow cytometry.The expres-sion of apoptosis-related proteins and cell cycle-regulated molecules was measured by Western blot.RESULTS:TPOL enhanced the apoptosis of HEK293T cells in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05),with a decrease in Bcl-2 and increases in Bax and cytochrome C(Cyto C),followed by up-regulation of activated caspase-9 and caspase-3,and the cleavage of PARP(P<0.05).The TPOL-enhanced cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP was rescued by Z-DVED-FMK(P<0.01).TPOL also led to a rapid increase in ROS,a reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential,and the release of Cyto C(P<0.01),all of which could be reversed by the ROS scavenger NAC.Moreover,the TPOL-caused alterations in p21,p27,Rb,and CDK2 were also recovered by the p53 inhibitor pifithrin-α(P<0.05).The TPOL-induced changes in Bax,Bcl-2,cleaved caspase-9,activated caspase-3,and cleaved PARP were subsequently rescued by pretreatment with pifithrin-α(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:TPOL can induce cellular apoptosis with ROS-mediated mitochondrial membrane damage through the activation of a ROS-dependent p53/p21/p27/Rb/Bax/Cyto C/caspase-mediated signal axis.
