弱氧化醋杆菌阿拉伯糖醇脱氢酶基因克隆及其在大肠杆菌中的表达

The partial genomic library of Acetobacter suboxydans was constructed using Yeast\| E.coli shuttle plasmid YEp352 as vector.Two positive transformants,designated as DH5α(pAD91) and DH5α(pAD98),were obtained by screening the growth of transformants on the agar plate in which D\|arabitol was used as the sole carbon source.The results of Southern blot and restriction endonuclease analysis showed that the two recombinants are identical.The insert is about 2.3kb.Arabitol dehydrogenase activity assay indic…     

多级逆流工艺促进城市污泥厌氧发酵生产挥发性脂肪酸

采用一种新型的厌氧发酵工艺——多级逆流发酵工艺对城市污泥进行厌氧发酵, 实现高效产挥发性脂肪酸的目的。结果表明, 实验条件下应用多级逆流发酵工艺, 挥发性脂肪酸浓度与产率分别达到(10.5±0.5) g/L和0.20 gVFAs/ gVS, 与普通厌氧发酵工艺相比, 分别提高了31%和54%。此外, 在多级逆流工艺中, 底物有机质去除率可达50%, 较普通厌氧发酵提高了37%。进一步分析多级逆流工艺产酸的机制, 发现产酸效率的提高在于降低了发酵产物对厌氧产酸细菌的抑制效应, 并且工艺的VFAs产率以及有机质去除率分别取决于第一级和第三级厌氧发酵过程。因此, 城市污泥采用多级逆流工艺厌氧发酵不仅能够有效促进挥发性脂肪酸的生成, 而且能够较大程度上提高污泥中有机质的去除率。

有机碳化合物对鱼腥藻7120生长的影响

在培养基中添加多种有机碳化合物对鱼腥藻7120进行培养。结果表明,葡萄糖的存在能明显地促进细胞的生长,但细胞仅能有限地利用葡萄糖;细胞混合营养生长的饱和光强约为80μEm^-2s^-1。乙酸、蔗糖、乙醇和甘油对细胞生长的影响不很显著,乳酸、柠檬酸、谷氨酸和甘氨酸表现出明显的抑制作用。鱼腥藻7120不能利用葡萄糖进行化能异养生长和光激活的化能异养生长,但有轻微的光异养现象。     

保藏温度对厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥特性的影响

为考察保藏温度对厌氧氨氧化污泥颗粒特性的影响,同时优化保藏厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥温度参数,本试验首先通过HRT调控进水基质负荷培养厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥,并采用KHCO3和Na HCO3交替提供无机碳源。然后分别在–40℃、4℃、(27±4)℃室温和35℃条件下避光保藏。结果表明,Na HCO3可代替KHCO3作为厌氧氨氧化菌生长的无机碳源。相比于其他保藏温度,4℃保藏能够较好地维持生物量和生物活性,同时能较好地维持颗粒污泥的沉降性能、颗粒污泥和细胞结构完整性。在保藏过程中,一阶衰减指数模型可拟合厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥生物量及活性的衰减过程,衰减指数与胞溶程度正相关,而且生物量的衰减比活性的衰减更快。同时,颗粒污泥胞外聚合物中蛋白质与多糖的比值(PN/PS)和血红素不能有效指示保藏过程中颗粒污泥沉降性能和活性的变化,而生物活性与胞溶程度呈负相关。     

Elevated GAPDH expression is associated with the proliferation and invasion of lung and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas

Glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase, is one of the most investigated housekeeping genes and widely used as an internal control in analysis of gene expression levels. The present study was designed to assess whether GAPDH is associated with cancer cell growth and progression and, therefore may not be a good internal control in cancer research. Our results from clinical tissue studies showed that the levels of GAPDH protein were significantly up‐regulated in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissues, compared with the adjacent normal lung tissues, and this was confirmed by western blotting and immunohistochemistry. GAPDH knockdown by siRNA resulted in significant reductions in proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung squamous carcinoma cells in vitro. In a nude mouse cancer xenograft model, GAPDH knockdown significantly inhibited the cell proliferation and migration/invasion in vivo. In summary, GAPDH may not be an appropriate internal control for gene expression studies, especially in cancer research. The role of GAPDH in cancer development and progression should be further examined in pre‐clinical and clinical studies.     

用气象卫星对东亚季风区的生态过渡带的遥感监测研究

用极轨气象卫星的归一化植被指数(NDVI)对中国东亚季风区的生态过渡带(样带)进行遥感监测研究。研究结果表明,在过渡带内的各个生态区的NDVI与东亚季风进退的关系极为密切。在正常季风年NDVI有正常分布;在异常季风年,NDVI呈反常分布;把遥感过渡带内季风气候的变化简化为遥感生态区植被指数的变化。分析了在过渡带内主要生态区,即荒漠草原、干草原、草甸草原、农耕区、森林区ND-VI的变化规律,以及旬NDVI与旬降水量之间的关系。在过渡带内每年NDVI随时间变化的曲线形状可以作为每年季风气候变化特征的量度。     

Structural analysis of the N- and C-termini in a peptide with consensus sequence.

We present a structural analysis of a peptide, the sequence of which includes amino acids that show preferences for specific positions near the N- and C-termini in protein helices. This peptide has the sequence ac-YMSEDELKAAEAAFKRHGVP-amide, which includes a strong version of an N-terminal Harper-Rose capping box structure as well as a Gly located close to the C-terminus designed to elucidate its role in C-terminal capping. The sequence of five residues at the middle is inserted to separate effects at the two ends via a helix-stabilizing linker. Application of a simulated annealing procedure using interproton distance constraints derived from 1H NOESY experiments in water reveals the presence of a C-terminal structure in this model. The C-terminus forms a folded back structure in a significant fraction of structures generated by the annealing, in most of which Gly assumes an alpha L conformation. This structure occurs within a highly flexible region of the molecule and hence is occupied only a fraction of the time.     

Determination of cefazedone in human plasma by high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry: Application to a pharmacokinetic study on Chinese volunteers

A rapid, sensitive and simple high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) method was developed for determination of cefazedone in human plasma using metronidazole as internal standard (IS). The chromatographic separation was achieved on an Ultimate XB-CN column (2.1 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm) with an isocratic mobile phase of acetonitrile and 20 mM ammonium acetate in 0.1% formic acid in water (15:85, v/v). Detection was performed using electrospray ionization in positive ion multiple reaction-monitoring mode (SRM), monitoring the transitions m/z 548.2 → 344.1 for cefazedone and m/z 172.2 → 128.1 for IS. Calibration curves were linear over a wide range of 0.20–401.12 μg/mL for cefazedone in plasma. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 0.20 μg/mL. The intra- and inter-day precisions were less than 7.2%. The average recovery of cefazedone was 90.8–91.0%. The validated method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of cefazedone in Chinese healthy volunteers following intravenous (IV) administration of 500, 1000 and 2000 mg cefazedone injection.
