Report of a pedigree of mitochondrial diabetes mellitus complicated with chronic hereditary pancreatitis / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

This study reported a family of mitochondrial diabetes mellitus complicated with chronic hereditary pancreatitis. A 18-year-old woman presented with self-reported hyperglycemia and chronic epigastric pain was admitted to our hospital. Clinical data and family history were collected. Mitochondrial gene sequencing and whole exon gene sequencing showed that the proband carried mutation of mt.3243A>G and heterozygous mutation of SPINK1 c. 194+ 2T>C, which was considered as mitochondrial diabetes mellitus with chronic pancreatitis.

The protein function of lipoprotein lipase with Asn291Ser and Lys312insC compound mutation / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

To study the function of lipoprotein lipase (LPL)with Asn291 Ser and Lys312insC compound mutation in LPL gene knockout heterozygous (LPL~(+/-)) mice. The results showed that triglycerides, free fatty acids, blood glucose and weight of LPL~(+/-) mice were higher than those of c57 mice(P<0. 05). The expressions of LPL Mrna and LPL protein of LPL~(+/-) group were lower than those of c57 group(P<0.05). The injection of Asn291Ser +Lys312insC protein caused little change of the lipid mass and LPL activity,but the injection of normal LPL protein induced obvious decrease of lipid mass and increase of the LPL activity.

COMPOUND MUTATION BREEDING OF KOJIC ACID PRODUCTION STAIN / 微生物学通报

mutant (UCN 7 17) of producing high yield Kojic acid was screened fr om Aspergillus flavus after treated with UV three times, ? ray of 60 Co one time and NTG four times, underoptimal conditions, the Kojic aci d production level reached up to 6 3% after 7 days, compared with original stains 0 926% The experiments showed that compound mutation using various mutagenic agents ca n alter the original stains sensitivity to mutagenic agents, increase mutation frequency and raise Kojic acid yield

Combined Mutation Breeding of H_2-producing Strain and Hydrogen Producing Characterization of a H_2-producing Mutant HCM-23 / 微生物学通报

The fermentative H2-producing strain Clostridium sp. H-61 was isolated from anaerobic sludge,was used as an original strain which was induced by NTG and UV for increasing and the hydrogen production ability. One of the highest efficient H2-producing mutants was named as HCM-23 with its stable hydrogen production ability. which was measured in the batch culture experiments. With the condition of 10 g/L glucose,its cumulative hydrogen yield and hydrogen production rate was 3024 mL/L and 33.19 mmol H2/g DW?h,69.89% and 68.14% higher than that of the original strain,respectively. The terminal liquid product compositions showed that the mutant HCM-23 fermentation was ethanol type,while the original strain H-61 fermentation was butyric acid type. Varieties of parameters of hydrogen production fermentation studied,including time,carbon source,nitrogen source,glucose concentration,glucose utilization,initial pH and incubation temperature had been studied,indicated the optimum condition of hydrogen production for the mutantHCM-23 as initial pH 6.5,temperature 36 ℃,and the favorite substrate was sucrose. The hydrogen production characters of the mutant and the original strain were different,such as,the growth lag phase and the utilization of inorganic nitrogen source,etc. This work shows a good application potential of NTG-UV combined mutation in the biohydrogen production. And the hydrogen production mechanism and metabolic pathway should be explored furthermore.
