Normal reference value of forced vital capacity of Chinese younger women and geographical factors / 药物分析学报

Objective To supply a scientific basis for standardizing the normal reference value of forced vital capacity (FVC) of Chinese younger women. Methods We studied the relationship between the normal reference value of 21767 samples of FVC of younger women and eight geographical factors in 157 areas in China. Results It was found that the correlation between geographical factors and the normal reference value of FVC of younger women was quite significant (F=5.884, P=0.000). By adopting the method of mathematical regression analysis, one regression equation was inferred: =3.146+0.00006919X1+0.01315X4-0.006966X6+0.09524X8±0.254. In the above equation, is the normal reference value of younger women' FVC (L); X1 is the altitude (m); X4 is the annual mean air temperature (℃); X6 is the annual mean relative humidity (%); X8 is the annual mean wind speed (m/s); 0.254 is the value of the residual standard deviation. Conclusion If geographical values are obtained in a certain area, the normal reference value of FVC of younger women in this area can be obtained by using the regression equation. Furthermore, according to the geographical factors, China can be divided into eight regions: Northeast China Region, North China Region, Shanxi-Shaanxi-Inner Mongolia Region, middle and lower reaches of the Yangzte River Region, Southeast China Region, Northwest China Region, Southwest China Region, and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Region.

Optimizing Fermentation Conditions for Expression of Esterase B1 Fusion Protein in Recombinant Bacteria / 环境与健康杂志

Objective In order to research the best fermentation conditions of recombinant bacteria pThioHisA-B1/DH5? which contains gene of esterase B1.Methods Recombinant bacteria pThioHisA-B1/DH5? was induced in different culture media, induction temperatures, different inductor concentrations, different induction time in order to obtain the best expression effect.The expression products of different conditions were detected by SDS-PAGE and thin-layer gel scanning analysis.Results Based on the experiments, the optimized fermentation condition were that the culture medium was TB, inducing temperature was 28 ℃ and inducing time was 6 h,the concentration of IPTG was 0.4 mmol/L.The expression quantity of target protein attained 40.3% in total bacterial protein, and the soluble fusion protein accounted for 66.2% in total target proteins at the optimum conditions.Conclusion The optimized fermentation conditions of expressing fusion protein in recombinant bacteria have been found and in the conditions, soluble esterase B1 fusion protein of high yield can be obtained.
