In order to investigate the enzyme production mechanism of yak rumen-derived anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. YF3 under the induction of different carbon sources, anaerobic culture tubes were used for in vitro fermentation. 8 g/L of glucose (Glu), filter paper (Flp) and avicel (Avi) were respectively added to 10 mL of basic culture medium as the sole carbon source. The activity of fiber-degrading enzyme and the concentration of volatile fatty acid in the fermentation liquid were detected, and the enzyme producing mechanism of Orpinomyces sp. YF3 was explored by transcriptomics. It was found that, in glucose-induced fermentation solution, the activities of carboxymethyl cellulase, microcrystalline cellulase, filter paper enzyme, xylanase and the proportion of acetate were significantly increased (P < 0.05), the proportion of propionate, butyrate, isobutyrate were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The results of transcriptome analysis showed that there were 5 949 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the Glu group and the Flp group, 10 970 DEGs between the Glu group and the Avi group, and 6 057 DEGs between the Flp group and the Avi group. It was found that the DEGs associated with fiber degrading enzymes were significantly up-regulated in the Glu group. Gene ontology (GO) function enrichment analysis identified that DEGs were mainly associated with the xylan catabolic process, hemicellulose metabolic process, β-glucan metabolic process, cellulase activity, endo-1,4-β-xylanase activity, cell wall polysaccharide metabolic process, carbohydrate catabolic process, glucan catabolic process and carbohydrate metabolic process. Moreover, the differentially expressed pathways associated with fiber degrading enzymes enriched by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were mainly starch and sucrose metabolic pathways and other glycan degradation pathways. In conclusion, Orpinomyces sp. YF3 with glucose as carbon source substrate significantly increased the activity of cellulose degrading enzyme and the proportion of acetate, decreased the proportion of propionate, butyrate and isobutyrate. Furthermore, the degradation ability and energy utilization efficiency of fungus in the presence of glucose were improved by means of regulating the expression of cellulose degrading enzyme gene and participating in starch and sucrose metabolism pathway, and other glycan degradation pathways, which provides a theoretical basis for the application of Orpinomyces sp. YF3 in practical production and facilitates the application of Orpinomyces sp. YF3 in the future.

Objective To investigate the incidence and clinical characteristics and look for assay or examination indexes or indicators with higher sensitivity and specificity of heart damage induced by exhaustive exercise in order to establish its preliminary clinical classification and diagnostic criteria. Methods In a military region for training staff,the clinical data of 88 soldiers who were admitted to the departments of cardiology in 6 general or central hospitals because of exhaustive exercise from January 2000 to December 2010 were analyzed. The myocardial enzyme, electrocardiogram(ECG),echocardiography and other related examination indexes or indicators were observed,and the changes of symptoms,signs and other relevant assay and examination indexes before and after treatment were recorded. Results Exhaustive exercise could cause the symptoms such as chest tightness,palpitations,chest pain, dizziness,shortness of breath,fatigue,syncope and other symptoms,as well as cardiac auscultation abnormalities. After treatment, aspartate aminotransferase〔AST(U/L):20.34±6.33 vs. 35.43±25.25〕,α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase〔α-HBDH(U/L):130.47±9.04 vs. 168.93±62.69〕,lactate dehydrogenase〔LDH(μmol?s-1?L-1):2.48±0.62 vs. 3.58±1.34〕,creatine kinase〔CK(U/L):125.58±67.56 vs. 556.42±381.89〕,creatine kinase isoenzyme〔CK-MB(U/L):11.20±4.08 vs. 23.09±15.61〕were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05 or P<0.01);cardiac troponin T(cTnT)was detected in 5 patients,its level after treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment(μg/L:0.07±0.05 vs. 1.26±0.78,P<0.05). The ECG abnormalities included primarily sinus bradycardia (16 cases),sinus arrhythmia (13 cases) and premature ventricular contractions (11 cases). Echocardiographic abnormalities appeared in 18 cases,they were chiefly as follows:valvular regurgitation, cardiac dysfunction,cardiac enlargement,etc,among which the most common one was valvular regurgitation(all the refluxes were of small amount). Based on the above clinical manifestations and examination results,the exhaustive cardiac injuries were preliminarily divided into common type(20 cases),arrhythmia type(56 cases),heart failure type(2 cases)and sudden death(10 cases). Conclusions The clinical manifestations of exhaustive heart damage may appear in different types. Abnormal changes of myocardial enzymes,ECG and echocardiography are the strong evidences for the damage. Clinicians should pay attention to its prevention and treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of curcumin on the apoptosis in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion neurons in a rat model of diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) . Methods One hundred and eight male SD rats weighing 200-230 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 27 each): control group (group C), DNP group, solvent control group (group SC) and curcumin group (group Cur) . Diabetes was induced with intraperitoneal streptozocin 70 mg/kg. Successful induction of diabetes was defined as blood glucose ＞ 16.7 mmol/L. Curcumin and com oil 100 mg/kg (23 mg/ml) were given intraperitoneally once a day for 14 consecutive days starting from 14 days after administration of streptozocin in Cur and SC groups respectively. Mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured 2 d before and 14 d after streptozocin injection and 3, 7 and 14 d after curcumin injection. The pain threshold measured at 14 d after administration of streptozocin decreased by more than 15% of the baseline in all the rats. The expression of caspase-3 and Bcl-2 in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion was determined at 3, 7 and 14 d after curcumin injection by immuno-histochemistry and Western blot, and the neuronal apoptosis rate was determined by TUNEL. Results Compared with group C, MWT and Bcl-2 expression were significantly decreased, TWL was significantly shortened, the neurona lapoptosis rate and caspase-3 expression were significantly increased in DNP, SC and Cur groups ( P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group DNP, MWT and Bcl-2 expression were significantly increased, TWL was significantly prolonged, the neuronal apoptosis rate and caspase-3 expression were significantly decreased in Cur group ( P ＜0.05) . There was no significant difference in the parameters mentioned above between DNP and SC groups ( P ＞0.05). Conclusion Curcumin can attenuate DNP by inhibiting the apoptosis in spinal dorsal hom and dorsal root ganglion neurons in rats, and the inhibition of caspase-3 expression and increase in Bcl-2 expression are involved in the mechanism.
