An unstructured model was developed for batch cultivation of Corynebacterium lactofermentum (ATCC 21799) under controlled dissolved oxygen. The model is capable of predicting batch experiments performed at various initial substrate concentrations. By extending the batch culture model to a fed-batch model and using a heuristic approach to optimize the fed-batch cultivation, it is shown that fed-batch cultivation is superior to batch operation due to increased productivity at high substrate concentrations. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Rho kinase inhibitor, Y-27632 on the intestinal apoptosis in endotoxemic
infant rats. Wistar albino 15–17-day-old rat pups (n = 21) were randomized to three experimental groups: (1) controls; (2)
endotoxemia (LPS); and (3) endotoxemia treated with Y-27632 (LPS + Y-27632). Endotoxemia was induced in rats by intraperitoneal
(i.p) injection of lipopolysaccharide (Escherichia coli serotype 0111:B4; 10 mg/kg). Y-27632 was administered 5 mg/kg i.p at three times, just, 8 and 16 h after LPS injection. Twenty-four
hours after LPS injection, intestinal apoptosis was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl
transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling assay and immunohistochemistry for active caspase-3. Endotoxemia induced extensive
apoptotic injury in the intestinal tissues. The administration of Y-27632 to endotoxemic infant rats caused a marked decrease
in the number of apoptotic cells in both intestinal epithelium and lamina propria. In conclusion, the inhibition of Rho kinase
with Y-27632 diminished the intestinal apoptotic damage induced by endotoxemia in infant rats. 相似文献

Introduction
There has been increased interest in the objective monitoring of free-living walking behavior using accelerometers in clinical research involving persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). The current investigation examined and compared the accuracy of the StepWatch activity monitor and ActiGraph model GT3X+ accelerometer for capturing steps taken during various speeds of prolonged, over-ground ambulation in persons with MS who had mild, moderate, and severe disability.Methods
Sixty-three persons with MS underwent a neurological examination for generation of an EDSS score and undertook two trials of walking on the GAITRite electronic walkway. Participants were fitted with accelerometers, and undertook three modified six-minute walk (6MW) tests that were interspersed with 10–15 minutes of rest. The first 6MW was undertaken at a comfortable walking speed (CWS), and the two remaining 6MW tests were undertaken above (faster walking speed; FWS) or below (slower walking speed; SWS) the participant''s CWS. The actual number of steps taken was counted through direct observation using hand-tally counters.Results
The StepWatch activity monitor (99.8%–99.9%) and ActiGraph model GT3X+ accelerometer (95.6%–97.4%) both demonstrated highly accurate measurement of steps taken under CWS and FWS conditions. The StepWatch had better accuracy (99.0%) than the ActiGraph (95.5%) in the overall sample under the SWS condition, and this was particularly apparent in those with severe disability (StepWatch: 95.7%; ActiGraph: 87.3%). The inaccuracy in measurement for the ActiGraph was associated with alterations of gait (e.g., slower gait velocity, shorter step length, wider base of support).Conclusions
This research will help inform the choice of accelerometer to be adopted in clinical trials of MS wherein the monitoring of free-living walking behavior is of particular value. 相似文献4.
Endosulfan, a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide of cyclodiene subgroup acts as a contact poison in a wide variety of organisms. In the present study, the effect of endosulfan on the growth, alpha amylase activity and plasmid amplification was investigated in Bacillus subtilis system. The bacteria were grown in medium, incubated with different concentrations (32, 48, 64 and 80 microg/mL) of endosulfan. The bacterial growth was gradually seen after 1st day at up to 48 microg/L endosulfan. The 48 microg/L endosulfan inhibited approximately 50% of the bacterial growth. No growth was observed at and after 64 microg/L endosulfan, for all days (1-5). Also, no alpha amylase activity was found in the supernatant of the culture medium containing 64 and 80 microg/L endosulfan, whereas slight activity was observed with 32 and 48 microg/L endosulfan concentration. The amount of plasmid increased up to 50% in the presence of 32 microg/L endosulfan. Endosulfan had no effect on the alpha amylase activity in vitro. 相似文献

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterised by recurrent and self-limited
abdominal pain, synovitis and pleuritis. MEFV gene mutations are responsible from the disease and its protein product, pyrin or marenostrin, plays an essential role in
the regulation of the inflammatory reactions. MEFV gene contains 10 exons and most of the mutations have been found on the last exon. Up to date, 152 mutations and polymorpisms
have been reported inwhere V726A, M694V, M694I, M680I and E148Q are the most common mutations. In this study, MEFV allele frequencies of 136 individuals (60 from Pediatry, 76 from Internal Medicine) have been evaluated, and compared with
each other. Asymptomatic individuals with FMF family history (4 from Pediatry, 6 from Internal Medicine) were excluded from
the analysis. The prominent mutations indicated in the Pediatry group are V726A, M694V and M680I (G/C) and with the allele
frequency of 0.06, 0.05 and 0.04 respectively while they were E148Q, M694V, M680I (G/C) in the Internal Medicine group with
the allele frequency of 0.12, 0.08 and 0.04. The E148Q mutation is significantly overrepresented in the adult referrals (P = 0.02). Mutation on both alleles was observed in only 12% of cases. Overall mutation frequency was low, seen in 26.2% (66/252).
However, when only diagnosed patients were analyzed it is 72.7% (16/22). It is also interesting that 63% of individuals are
female that there may be sex influence on FMF phenotype. 相似文献

In this study we have retrospectively analysed the mutation spectrum of the 351 Familial Mediterranean fever patients referred to K?r?kkale University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Medical Genetics Laboratory over a period of 5 years and compared them with Turkey’s mean. We have found 11 different mutations, including rare mutations such as F479L, K695R, M680I(G/A) and 45 different genotypes showing the heterogeneity of MEFV mutations in Central Anatolia. The most three prevalent mutations were M694V (14.8 %), E148Q (7.1 %) and M680I(G/C) (4.1 %) in accordance with the literature. We have also investigated R202Q in our routine molecular diagnosis. Mutation causing R202Q (c.605G > A) change was described as a frequent polymorphism and G allele was found in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with M694V. There are limited number of studies investigating R202Q, some of them implicate that its homozygote state is disease causing. We showed the high frequency of R202Q (23.7 %) with and without M694V in all the groups analysed and its high LD rate with M694V in the diagnosed group. Our study is reflecting the mutational heterogeneity of MEFV and summarize mutational spectrum of Turkey’s geographical regions and overall Turkey. 相似文献

Alkaline protease was purified from Bacillus sp. isolated from soil. The pH optimum was 11.5 at 37 degrees C. Calcium divalent cation was effective to stabilize the enzyme especially at higher temperatures. The proteolytic activity was inhibited by active site inhibitors of PMSF (Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride), and ions of Mg, Mn, Pb, Li, Zn, Ag, Hg. The enzyme was stable in the presence of some detergents, such as Triton-X-100, Tween-80, SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) and EDTA (ethylendiaminetetraacetic acid), pH 11.5 and 37 degrees C for 30 min. The optimum pH was 11.5 at 37 degrees C and the optimum temperature was 62 degrees C at pH 11.5. 相似文献

Summary A heavy metal resistant bacterium, Bacillus circulans strain EB1 showed a high cadmium biosorption capacity coupled with a high tolerance to this metal when grown in its presence. Bacillus circulans EB1 cells grown in the presence of 28.1 mg cadmium/l were capable of removing cadmium with a specific biosorption capacity of 5.8 mg Cd/g dry wt biomass in the first 8 h. When the cells were pre-conditioned with low concentrations of cadmium in pre-grown medium, the uptake was increased to 6.7 mg Cd/g dry wt biomass. The maximum uptake of␣cadmium was during mid-logarithmic phase of growth. The resting cells (both wet and dry) of EB1 were also able to biosorb cadmium. Specific biosorption capacities of wet and dry biomass were 9.8 and 26.5 mg Cd/g dry wt biomass, respectively. Maximum cadmium removals by both wet and dry cells were at pH 7.0. The results showed that the cadmium removal capacity of resting cells was markedly higher than that of growing cells. Since both growing and resting cells had a high biosorption capacity for cadmium, EB1 cells could serve as an excellent biosorbent for removal of cadmium from natural environments. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes that are responsible for degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM); they are involved in the pathogenesis of ischemia-re-perfusion (I-R) injury. We investigated the possible preventive effect of alpha-lipoic acid (LA) in a renal I-R injury model in rats by assessing its reducing effect on the expression and activation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 induced by I-R. Rats were assigned to four groups: control, sham-operated, I-R (saline, i.p.) and I-R+ LA (100 mg/kg, i.p.). After a right nephrectomy, I-R was induced by clamping the left renal pedicle for 1 h, followed by 6 h re-perfusion. In the sham group, a right nephrectomy was performed and left renal pedicles were dissected without clamping and the entire left kidney was excised after 6 h. LA pretreatment was started 30 min prior to induction of ischemia. Injury to tubules was evaluated using light and electron microscopy. The expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were determined by immunohistochemistry and their activities were analyzed by gelatin zymography. Serum creatinine was measured using a quantitative kit based on the Jaffe colorimetric technique. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-2 and TIMP-1 were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). I-R caused tubular dilatation and brush border loss. LA decreased both renal dysfunction and abnormal levels of MDA and GSH during I-R. Moreover, LA decreased significantly both MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions and activations during I-R. TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 levels were increased significantly by LA administration. LA modulated increased MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities and decreased TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 levels during renal I-R. 相似文献
