环氧树脂固定化的Bacillus sp.DL-2胞外蛋白酶在拆分(±)-乙酸苏合香酯中的应用

环氧基是一个非常活跃的基团,它能与酶、蛋白质和核酸等生物分子发生反应形成共价键,有利于生物分子的固定化。经共价结合法固定化的酶其稳定性及重复使用性可得到显著提高。用环氧树脂ES-103B为载体采用共价结合法对海洋细菌Bacillus sp. DL-2的胞外蛋白酶进行固定化,经过单因素实验优化条件得出最优固定化条件为:p H 8. 0的胞外蛋白酶溶液,25 g/L的ES-103B,45℃下反应8h。采用此最优条件下的固定化酶拆分(±)-乙酸苏合香酯制备出了e. e. p=97. 5%的(R)-1-苯乙醇(产率为45. 0%)和e. e. s=99. 2%的(S)-乙酸苏合香酯(产率为83. 9%)。该固定化酶拆分(±)-乙酸苏合香酯在重复使用8次后制备出的(R)-1-苯乙醇的e. e. p仍大于90%,且固定化胞外蛋白酶在4℃下具有较好的储存稳定性。

目的针对未成年人的恒牙根尖病变,采用无机三氧化物聚合体(MTA)根尖诱导成形术进行青少年恒牙牙根疾病的临床疗效评价。方法选择8~15岁患者128例。根管感染的根尖未发育完成年轻恒牙共146颗,随机分为试验组和对照组。试验组共66颗,应用MTA根尖诱导。对照组共80颗采用常规Ca(OH)2根尖诱导。患者治疗后每3个月复诊1次,随访1年进行疗效评价。结果随访1年,试验组术后总有效率为92.42%,对照组总有效率为47.50%,两组患者结果比较差异有统计学意义(χ2=23.37,P0.05)。结论在未成年人根尖诱导成形术中MTA对治疗年轻恒牙根尖尚未形成的患牙的效果优于常规诱导方法。     

Effects of grazing intensity and grazing exclusion on litter decomposition in the temperate steppe of Nei Mongol,China

Aims Grazing intensity and grazing exclusion affect ecosystem carbon cycling by changing the plant community and soil micro-environment in grassland ecosystems. The aims of this study were: 1) to determine the effects of grazing intensity and grazing exclusion on litter decomposition in the temperate grasslands of Nei Mongol; 2) to compare the difference between above-ground and below-ground litter decomposition; 3) to identify the effects of precipitation on litter production and decomposition. Methods We measured litter production, quality, decomposition rates and soil nutrient contents during the growing season in 2011 and 2012 in four plots, i.e. light grazing, heavy grazing, light grazing exclusion and heavy grazing exclusion. Quadrate surveys and litter bags were used to measure litter production and decomposition rates. All data were analyzed with ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation procedures in SPSS. Important findings Litter production and decomposition rates differed greatly among four plots. During the two years of our study, above-ground litter production and decomposition in heavy-grazing plots were faster than those in light-grazing plots. In the dry year, below-ground litter production and decomposition in light-grazing plots were faster than those in heavy-grazing plots, which is opposite to the findings in the wet year. Short-term grazing exclusion could promote litter production, and the exclusion of light-grazing could increase litter decomposition and nutrient cycling. In contrast, heavy-grazing exclusion decreased litter decomposition. Thus, grazing exclusion is beneficial to the restoration of the light-grazing grasslands, and more human management measures are needed during the restoration of heavy-grazing grasslands. Precipitation increased litter production and decomposition, and below-ground litter was more vulnerable to the inter-annual change of precipitation than above-ground litter. Compared to the light-grazing grasslands, heavy-grazing grasslands had higher sensitivity to precipitation. The above-ground litter decomposition was strongly positively correlated with the litter N content (R² = 0.489, p < 0.01) and strongly negatively correlated with the soil total N content (R² = 0.450, p < 0.01), but it was not significantly correlated with C:N and lignin:N. Below-ground litter decomposition was negatively correlated with the litter C (R² = 0.263, p < 0.01), C:N (R² = 0.349, p < 0.01) and cellulose content (R² = 0.460, p < 0.01). Our results will provide a theoretical basis for ecosystem restoration and the research of carbon cycling.     

N-糖蛋白去糖基化酶（PNGase）的研究进展

N-糖蛋白去糖基化酶（PNGase）是一种广泛存在于真菌、植物、哺乳动物中的去糖基化酶，可以水解N-糖蛋白或 N-糖肽上天冬酰胺与寡糖链连接的化学键，并释放出完整的N-寡糖。PNGase在生物体内参与蛋白质降解、器官发育、个体生长等过程。人PNGase基因功能缺陷会导致先天性去糖基化障碍，小鼠PNGase缺陷会导致胚胎致死性，线虫PNGase缺陷使其寿命下降。本文对PNGase在不同物种的分布、蛋白质结构、酶学功能及生物学功能进行阐述，为PNGase的生理病理功能及致病机制的基础研究提供思路，为PNGase作为糖生物学工具酶或药物开发的创新应用研究奠定基础。     

溶血磷脂酸在皮肤损伤疾病中的作用及其分子机制

皮肤作为人体最大器官覆盖于全身,能阻挡有害物质的侵入,保护人体内环境稳态,参与人体代谢过程。皮肤损伤、炎症和纤维化等,都会导致皮肤屏障功能的减退,影响正常的生命活动。溶血磷脂酸(lysophosphatidic acid,LPA)是十分活跃的磷脂信号分子,参与多种生理和病理生理过程。LPA是维持体内平衡所必需的生物活性脂质介质,在皮肤中通过不同的信号通路发挥多功能磷脂信使作用。本文综述了皮肤中溶血磷脂酸受体(lysophosphatidic acid receptor,LPA1-6)及其细胞信号通路的作用及机制,综述了LPA在皮肤创面愈合、皮肤瘢痕、皮肤黑色素瘤、硬皮病、皮肤瘙痒、过敏性皮炎、皮肤屏障、皮肤疼痛,皮肤毛发生长中的作用及分子机制,有助于了解LPA在皮肤中的生理和病理生理作用。深入研究LPA的作用机制将有助于挖掘其在皮肤治疗中的作用,开发以LPA为靶点的药物。
