Objective : To investigate the changes in the sagittal diameter of the upper airway before and after the treatment of skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion in adults with microimplant anchorage and class Ⅲ intermaxillary elastics and to provide a reference for clinical treatment. Methods : A total of 35 adult patients with skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion were selected to be treated with the straight-wire technique. Microimplant group, 15 cases (group A): patients with severe skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion (vertical high angle) were treated with the straight-wire technique combined with microimplant anchorage; class Ⅲ intermaxillary elastics group, 20 cases (group B): Patients with mild or moderate skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion (vertical low angle and average angle) were treated with the straight-wire technique combined with class Ⅲ intermaxillary elastics, and cephalometric radiographs obtained before and after treatment in the upper airway in the two groups were measured and analyzed. Results : Changes in cranial and maxillofacial measurements after correction: in group A, (sella-nasion-supramental angle) the SNB angle decreased significantly (P < 0.05), and (subspinale-nasion-supramental angle) the ANB angle increased significantly (P < 0.05). In group B, the SNB angle decreased significantly (P < 0.05), while (subspinale-nasion-subspinale angle) the SNA angle、ANB angle and anterior skull base plane-mandibular plane angle (Sn-MP) angle increased significantly (P < 0.05). Changes in sagittal diameter of the upper airway measurements after corrections: In group A, the width of the glossopharyngeal segment of the upper airway (TB-TPPW) decreased significantly (P < 0.05). In group B, first segment width of the upper airway behind the hard palate (PNS-R) increased significantly (P < 0.05). After correction, the decreased SNB and increased ANB in group A was higher than that in group B, and the difference was statistically significant （P < 0.05）. The decreased of TB-TPPW in upper airway of group A was greater than that of group B, and the difference was statistically significant （P < 0.05）. Conclusions In the treatment of skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion with microimplant anchorage, the sagittal diameter of the glossopharyngeal segment of the upper airway has a negative impact.

Activity losing during the covalent immobilization of enzyme is a serious problem. Here we studied organic phase immobilization by using glucose oxidase (GOD) as a model. After lyophilized at optimum pH, GOD is covalently immobilized onto glutaraldhyde-activated chitosan microsphere carrier under the condition of water, 1, 4-dioxane, ether and ethanol separately. The special activities, enzyme characterization and kinetic parameters are determined. Results show that all of the organic phase immobilized GODs have higher special activities and larger K(cat) than that of aqueous phase. Under the conditions of 0.1% of glutaraldehyde, 1.6% moisture content with 80 mg of GOD added to per gram of carrier, 2.9-fold of the special activity and 3-fold of the effective activity recovery ratio were obtained, and 3-fold of the residue activity was demonstrated after 7 runs when compares 1, 4-dioxane phase immobilized GOD with water phase immobilized one. In addition, kinetic study shows that 1,4-dioxane immobilized GOD (Km(app) = 5.63 mmol/L, V(max) = 1.70 micromol/(min x mg GOD), K(cat) = 0.304 s(-1) was superior to water immobilized GOD (Km(app) = 7.33 mmol/L, V(max) = 1.02 micromol/(min x mg GOD), K(cat) = 0.221 s(-1)). All above indicated GOD immobilized in proper organic media presented a better activity with improved catalytic performance. Organic phase immobilization might be one of the ways to overcome the conformational denature of enzyme protein during covalent modification.

The experiment was conducted by directed evolution strategy (error-prone PCR) to improve the activity of aflatoxin detoxifzyme with the high-throughput horse radish peroxidas and recessive brilliant green (HRP-RBG) screening system. We built up a mutant library to the order of 10(4). Two rounds of EP-PCR and HRP-RBG screening were used to obtain three optimum mutant strains A1773, A1476 and A2863. We found that mutant A1773 had upper temperature tolerance of 70 degrees C and that its enzyme activity was 6.5 times higher than that of the parent strain. Mutant strains A1476 worked well at pH 4.0 and its enzyme activity was 21 times higher than that of the parent strain. Mutant A2863 worked well at pH 4.0 and pH 7.5, and its enzyme activity was 12.6 times higher than that of the parent strain. With DNA sequencing we found that mutant A1773 revealed two amino acid substitutions, Glu127Lys and Gln613Arg. Mutant A1476 revealed four amino acid substitutions: Ser46Pro, Lys221Gln, Ile307Leu and Asn471lle. Mutant A2863 revealed four amino acid substitutions: Gly73Ser, Ile307Leu, Va1596Ala and Gln613Arg. The results provided a useful illustration for the deep understanding of the relationship between the function and structure of aflatoxin detoxifzyme.

We used reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA end (RACE) techniques to obtain the full-length cDNA of beta-mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78) from Armillariella tabescens EJLY2098 (an edible fungus). Sequence analysis of the 1481 bp full-length cDNA encoding 445 amino acid residues indicated that the gene contained two structural domains, cellulose-binding domains (CBD) and glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GHF5) domains, other than the conserved beta-mannanase domain. Thus, we classified this gene as a member of glycoside hydrolase family 5. Next, we cloned a 1308 bp fragment encoding the beta-mannanase mature peptide (re-atMAN47) into the expression vector pPICZalphaA and expressed it in Pichia pastoris. The yield was 440 mg/L. Enzyme activity reached a maximum of 1.067 IU/mL after 72 h of methanol induction. The re-atMAN47 had an optimal temperature of 60 degrees C and an optimal pH of 5.5. It manifested broad thermostability from 30 degrees C-65 degrees C, and was stable between pH 4.5-7.0. This study represents the first record of a beta-mannanase from Armillariella tabescens EJLY2098 and provides a new source of carbohydrate hydrolysis enzyme with good biosafety, thermostability and wide pH stability. It is a good approach for the industrial needs of feed, food and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
