Two high protease producing strains, whic h are desi gnated Aspergillus oryzae AS100 and AS102, were screened and applied as main fermentation strains of swine blood meal. A Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y113 and a Bacillus Asp007 were also used as assistant fermentation strains. The enzyme production abilities we re studied,and a series of parameters of the fermentation technology were deter mined. Through swine blood meal fermentation, a high-protein fermented feed wa s produced, which is strong soy flavor and was rich in protein(69%), free amino acid, vitamin such as VitD 3 and niacin and organic elements such as Fe. It is a kind of high-protein feed for animals and it could be used as feedstuff addi tive.

Objective To study the different effects from different concentration ratios of polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) to tumor cell (TC) on the process of tumor cell adhesion to endothelial cell (EC) in shear flow. Methods PMNs and TCs with different concentration ratios (PMN-TC ratio) were added into the parallel plate flow chamber, and changes in the numbers of transient and accumulative adhered TCs on ECs at different shear rates (50 s-1，100 s-1，200 s-1) were analyzed. Results The transient and accumulative adhesion of TCs on ECs at PMN-TC ratio of 3︰1 significantly increased as compared to that at PMN-TC ratio of 1︰1, especially under high shear flow condition (100 s-1 and 200 s-1). Moreover, in the 5 minute-observation period, the effect of PMN-TC ratio on TC adhered to ECs occurred earlier when the shear rate increased. Conclusions The increase of PMN-TC concentration ratio can promote TC adhesion to ECs in shear flow, and the research findings provide significant references for studying TC metastasis in blood vessels and the target therapy of tumors.

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of observing perioperative changes of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and neutrophil elastase (NE) in coronary artery circulation in patients underwent valve replacement surgery. Methods: This perspective cohort study was performed in patients who underwent valvular surgery in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital and Fuwai Hospital from June 2021 to June 2022. Patients were divided into perioperative myocardial injury group and age-, sex- and type of cardiac procedure-matched non-perioperative myocardial injury control group in the ratio of 1∶1. Perioperative myocardial injury was defined as cardiac troponin T (cTnT)>0.8 μg/L on the first postoperative day (POD), and the cTnT level on the second POD increased by more than 10% compared with the cTnT level on the first POD. During the operation, blood samples were collected from the coronary sinus before clamping ascending aorta, and within 5 minutes after de-clamping ascending aorta. Then, the levels of MPO and NE on coronary sinus were continuously measured. The death, severe ventricular arrhythmia, pneumonia, re-intubation, repeat cardiac surgery, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), mechanical ventilation time and the duration of intensive care unit (ICU) were recorded. The levels of MPO and NE and the incidence of clinical outcomes were compared between the myocardial injury group and the control group. The independent risk factors of myocardial injury were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Results: A total of 130 patients were enrolled, aged (60.6±7.6) years old, with 59 males (45.4%). There were 65 patients in the myocardial injury group and 65 patients in the control group. During hospitalization, there was no death, ECMO, IABP and CRRT cases in both groups. Compared with the control group, the incidence of severe ventricular arrhythmia (13.8%(9/65) vs. 3.1%(2/65), P=0.03), pneumonia (20.0%(13/65) vs. 3.1%(2/65), P=0.03), re-intubation (6.2%(4/65) vs. 0, P=0.04) was significantly higher in myocardial injury group. The mechanical ventilation time (16.8(10.7, 101.7) h vs. 7.5(4.7, 15.1) h, P<0.01), and the duration of ICU (3.7(2.7, 18.9) vs. 2.7(1.8, 6.9)d, P<0.01) were significantly longer in myocardial injury group compared with the control group. There was no significant difference in the levels of MPO and NE in coronary sinus blood between the two groups before aortic clamping (all P>0.05). However, MPO ((551.3±124.2) μg/L vs. (447.2±135.9) μg/L, P<0.01) and NE ((417.0±83.1)μg/L vs. (341.0±68.3)μg/L, P<0.01) after 5 min aortic de-clamping were significantly higher in myocardial injury group than in the control group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the levels of NE (OR=1.02, 95%CI: 1.01-1.02, P<0.01), MPO (OR=1.00, 95%CI: 1.00-1.01, P=0.02) and mechanical ventilation time (OR=1.03, 95%CI: 1.01-1.06, P=0.02) were independent risk factors of myocardial injury in patients after surgical valvular replacement. Conclusion: Perioperative myocardial injury is related poor clinical outcomes, perioperative NE and MPO in coronary artery circulation are independent risk factors of perioperative myocardial injury in patients undergoing valve replacement surgery.
