ABSTRACT
Halomonas can grow on diverse carbon sources. As it can be used for unsterile fermentation under high-salt conditions, it has been applied as a chassis for next-generation industrial biotechnology. Short-chain volatile fatty acids, including acetate, propionate, and butyrate, can be prepared from biomass and are expected to be novel carbon sources for microbial fermentation. Halomonas sp. TD01 and TD08 were subjected to shaking culture with 10-50 g/L butyrate, and they were found to effectively synthesize poly-3-hydroxybutyrate with butyrate as the carbon source. The highest yield of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate was achieved at butyrate concentration of 20 g/L (9.12 g/L and 7.37 g/L, respectively). Butyrate at the concentration > 20 g/L inhibited cell growth, and the yield of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate decreased to < 4 g/L when butyrate concentration was 50 g/L. Moreover, Halomonas sp. TD08 can accumulate the copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate by using propionate and butyrate as carbon sources. However, propionate was toxic to cells. To be specific, when 2 g/L propionate and 20 g/L butyrate were simultaneously provided, cell dry weight and polymer titer were 0.83 g/L and 0.15 g/L, respectively. The addition of glycerol significantly improved cell growth and boosted the copolymer titer to 3.95 g/L, with 3-hydroxyvalerate monomer content of 8.76 mol%. Short-chain volatile fatty acids would be promising carbon sources for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates by Halomonas.

Objective To evaluate the effects of fasudil on DCD hearts .Methods Sixteen domestic ,mixed‐breed male porcine [mean body weight (28 ± 3)kg] were randomly divide into experiment group and control group (n= 8 in each) .Experiment group :animals were sedated ,anesthetized and paralyzed .Mechanical ventilation with room air was provided .After thoroctomy ,cardiac arrest was established by bloodletting ,and then keeps at room temperature for additional 25 minutes (warm ischemia) .Hearts were perfused via the aortic root with fasudil (0 .1 mg/kg) enriched cold Stanford solution for coronary artery flushing ,rapidly excised and the aorta was cannulated .Hearts were subjected to isolated Langendorff perfusion (retrograde perfused with warm oxygenated autologous blood) afterwards ,and then underwent 20 minutes of equilibrium ,immersed in fasudil (0 .5 mg/kg) enriched cold Stan‐ford solution for 2 hours in situ cold preservation .Finally ,all the hearts were resuscitated with the warm oxygenated autologous blood perfusion .Control group :hearts from the animals experienced the same except for fasudil supplement .Left ventricular per‐formances were evaluated .Coronary blood flow ,myocardial infarction volume ,myocardial water content ,and myocardial enzyme were measured .Myocardial electron microscopic examinations were carried out as well .Results All the hearts from both groups were successfully resuscitated ,fasudil significantly decreased water content ,enzyme leakage (P< 0 .01 each versus control group) , and increased coronary blood flow (P< 0 .01 versus control group) .Left ventricular function were better preserved (P< 0 .01 each versus control group) .All hearts lacked severe necrosis as determined by tetrazolium staining ,myocardial infarction volume were decresed in experiment group (P< 0 .01 each versus control group) .Intracellular components retained various types of organelle in both group ,but still ultrastructural alterations in control group were more distinctive than in experiment group .Conclusion (1) Donor heart arrested by exsanguinations and plus 25 minutes warm ischemia ,could still be resuscitated with satisfactory result ;(2) The addition of fasudil to Stanford solution (before excise of graft ,during the cold preservation) ,might alleviate DCD heart I‐R in‐jury ,improving the effect of DCD heart preservation ,and hopefully ,might be a novel arsenal in clinical DCD heart transplantation in the future .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of edaravone plus beating-heart-preservation as well as beating-heart-transplantation technique on myocardial protection in donation after cardiac death (DCD) heart transplantation.Methods Twenty-four swine (body weight 28 ± 3 kg) were divided into two groups (n =12 each),and another twelve swine were used for blood donor.( 1 ) Experimental group:cardiac arrest was induced by asphyxiation (turning off the ventilation),and then the swine were subjected to 25-min warm ischemia,and cold oxygenated blood was perfused before the harvest of donor heart.Cardiac resuscitation was initiated by the ex vivo perfusion equipment and warm oxygenated blood was reperfused.Edaravone was given before harvesting of donor heart and in the early period of reperfusion.Donor hearts were kept beating throughout preservation and transplantation period.(2) Control group:all animals were treated in the same way except for without the application of edaravone.Hemodynamic,myocardial enzymes,and water content of myocardium were observed,and uhrastructural damage of cardiomyocytes was examined.Results All recipient animals could wean from cardiopulmonary bypass successfully.Left ventricular compliance and left ventricular contractility were significantly better preserved in experiment group than in control group.Though there was no significant difference in myocardial creatase level,the myocardial edema in experimental group was milder than in control group,and myocardial ultrastructure was better preserved in experimental group.Conclusion Heart from DCD,even though experienced 25-min warm ischemia after cardiac arrest by asphyxiation,still could be resuscitated via isolated heart perfusion equipment ( i.e.,beating-heart-preservation ) successfully.Furthermore,beating-hearttransplantation is feasible technically.Edaravone,a free-radical scavenger,could alleviate asphyxiation-induced myocardial injury,and further improve post-transplantation heart function.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To understand the characteristic of hospital infection among tumor patients and give information to reduce the tumor patients with hospital infection.METHODS Using the methods of initiative monitoring and the system review to carry on the statistics,analysis,and evaluation for the total of 2679 tumor patients occurred in Department of Oncology in Shaoxing People′s Hospital in 2005.RESULTS Among them there were 120 cases occurred hospital infection.The rate of hospital infection was 4.47%.The patients who infected one time were 179 cases,two times were 31 cases,and over three times were 10 cases.The main infected sites were respiratory tract including upper respiratory tract(38 cases) and lower respiratory tract(36 cases),followed by alimentary tract(10 cases),blood(9 cases),surgical incision infection(8 cases),urinary tract(6 cases) and the other locations(13 cases).CONCLUSIONS The main prevention and control measures of hospital infection among tumor patients are to improve the body immunity and control endogenous infections.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the current situation of the hospital.and the community-acquired infections due to Staphylococcus aureus(SAU) and provide the reference for clinical reasonable use of drugs.METHODS The clinically isolated S.aureus strains during 2004-2006 were collected,cultured and identified.Their susceptibilily to 16 kinds of antibacterials was detected by K-B or MIC and WHONET5 software was used to analyze the result.RESULTS From 440 S.aureus strains,the meticillin-resisstant S.aureus(MRSA) was 260 accounting for 59.1%;the meticillin-sensitive S.aureus(MSSA) was 180 accounting for 40.9%.The resistant rate of SAU to penicillin G was the highest(85.5%),that to vancomscin was 0.CONCLUSIONS MSSA still keeps fairly good sensibility to most antibacterial medicine,but MRSA shows the multidrug resistance,except to vancomycin.For this studying the resistance mechcnism of Staphylococcus and continuously detecting the emergence of vancomycin-intermediat and vancomycin-resistante S.aureus have a significant clinicil importance.
