Identification of three novel missense PKU mutations among Chinese.

Three novel missense mutations have been identified in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) genes of Chinese individuals afflicted with various degrees of phenylketonuria (PKU). A T-to-C transition was observed in exon 5 of the gene, resulting in the substitution of Phe161 by Ser161. Two substitutions, G-to-T and T-to-G, were observed in exon 7, resulting in the substitution of Gly247 by Val247 and Leu255 by Val255, respectively. Expression analysis demonstrated that these mutant proteins produced between 0 and 15% of normal PAH enzyme activity. Population screening of a Chinese sample population indicates that these mutations are quite rare, together accounting for only about 4% of all PKU alleles among the Chinese. The P161S and G247V mutations were each present on a single PAH RFLP haplotype 4 chromosome in patients form Northern China, while the L255V mutation was present on chromosomes of both haplotypes 18 and 21 in patients from Southern China. These results suggest that the remaining 30% of uncharacterized PKU alleles in the Chinese population may bear a large number of relatively rare PAH mutations.     

Changes in pulmonary Cu−Zn contents in superior mesenteric artery occlusion shock of rabbit

Contents of Cu and Zn of into-pulmonary blood (IPB), out-pulmonary blood (OPB), Lung tissue, and supernatant and macrophages of Lung Lavage were determined in superior mesenteric artery occlusion (SMAO) shock of rabbits. Zn of pulmonary tissue was 11.42 +/- 0.60 and 14.52 +/- 1.78 (micrograms/g wet wt) in SMAO shock and control groups, respectively. Content of Zn was found to be lower, Cu was not changed, and Cu/Zn ratio increased in lung tissue in SMAO shock. Contents of Cu and Zn in other samples were not changed. The results suggest that lower Zn in lung tissue related to acute lung injury.     

On-line thermal monitoring of aspartic acid separation in a high voidage ion-exchange column at high flow rate

A simple thermal monitoring technique has been successfully applied to an adsorption system using a novel ion exchanger with a large internal void volume (voidage) which can be operated at high superficial velocity (SV). Temperature changes resulting from heats of adsorption could be followed effectively using semi-conductor thermistor devices inserted into the resin through the column wall. Results show that, despite the high feed rates adopted, the thermal signals generated can be consistently related to the position of the breakthrough front within the bed.

Production of 2,3-butanediol in a membrane bioreactor with cell recycle

Summary The production of 2,3-butanediol by Enterobacter aerogenes DSM 30053 was studied in a cell recycle system with a microfiltration module. Emphasis was put on the influence of oxygen supply, cell residence time, dilution rate, and pH. Under optimal conditions a productivity as high as 14.6 g butanediol + acetoin/l per hour was achieved with a product concentration of 54 g/l and a product yield of 88%. This productivity is three times higher than that of an ordinary continuous culture. The achievable final product concentration of a cell recycle system was limited by the accumulation of the inhibiting by-product acetic acid, which increased very rapidly at low dilution rate. To maximize product concentration a fed-batch fermentation was carried out with stepwise pH adaption at high cell density. A final product concentration of 110 g/l was obtained with a productivity of 5.4 g/l per hour and a yield of 97%.     

Enhanced production of cellulase usingAcidothermus cellulyticus in fed-batch culture

Summary Fed-batch fermentations of Acidothermus cellulolyticus utilizing mixtures of cellulose and sugars were investigated for potential improvements in cellulase enzyme production. In these fermentations, we combined cellulose from several sources with various simple sugars at selected concentrations. The best source of cellulose for cellulase production was found to be ball-milled Solka Floc at 15 g/l. Fed-batch fermentations with cellobiose and Solka Floc increased cell mass only slightly, but succeeded in significantly enhancing cellulase synthesis compared to batch conditions. Maximum cellulase activities obtained from fermentations initiated with 2.5 g cellobiose/l and 15 g Solka Floc/l were 0.187 units (U)/ml, achieved by continuous feeding to maintain <0.1 g cellobiose/l, and 0.215 U/ml using the same initial medium when 2.5 g cellobiose/l was step-fed after the sugar was nearly consumed. In batch, dual-substrate systems consisting of simple sugars with Solka Floc, substrate inhibition was evident in terms of specific growth rates, specific productivity values, and maximum enzyme yields. Limiting concentrations of glucose or sucrose at 5 g/l, and cellobiose at 2.5 g/l, in the presence of Solka Floc, yielded cellulase activities of 0.134, 0.159, and 0.164 U/ml, respectively.

血友病患者血清中淋巴腺病病毒/人T细胞Ⅲ型病毒抗体检测

对浙江省1982～1984年注射了美国产浓缩Ⅶ因子制剂的18例血友病患者,用酶联免疫吸附法(ELTSA)检测了血清中淋巴腺病病毒/人T细胞Ⅲ型病毒(LAV/HTLV-Ⅲ)抗体,发现4例阳性,并经免疫荧光试验和Western印迹法证实。2例应用了国产浓缩Ⅷ因子者抗体阴性。一例从美国来华旅游死于艾滋病者,LAV/HTLV-Ⅲ抗体阳性。本研究证明,LAV/HTLVⅢ病毒巳通过美国生产的Ⅷ因子制剂传入中国。     

百日咳杆菌去内毒素及保护性抗原的纯化

内毒素(Endotoxin,简称ET)是百日咳全菌苗(Bordetellapertussis vaccine)产生副作用的主要毒素之一,且不易除去。现有的分离方法,如蔗糖密度梯度离心法,较繁琐,成本高。本文采用Sepha-cryl S-300凝胶层折法可以简便有效的去除大部分内毒素。初步毒素试验结果表明:已达到日本生物制品规格的要求。两种保护性抗原FHA和LPF-HA也得到进一步分离纯化,为今后研制高效的百日咳组分菌苗提供了实验条件。
