Progress of clinical nutrition support management and corresponding data analysis in a tertiary (A) children's hospital in Shanghai in the past ten years / 中华临床营养杂志

Objective:To analyze the paradigm and changes of enteral nutrition support for hospitalized children in Shanghai Children's Medical Center affiliated to School of Medicine of Shanghai, Jiao Tong University in last ten years, so as to provide guidance for nutritionists and dietitians on the application and management of enteral nutrition.Method:Relevant data were collected and analyzed from 2011 to 2020 in the Clinical Nutrition Department of Shanghai Children's Medical Center, including the implementation status of parenteral and enteral nutrition as well as the types and distribution of different enteral nutrition formulas and diet.Results:The Clinical Nutrition Department of our hospital provided seventy-five types of diet for hospitalized children. The utilization of ordinary diets and specialized diets has been stable at about 76,000 cases per year. In the past decade, twenty-one ordinary formulas and special formulas were provided every year by the Clinical Nutrition Department in our hospital and the utilization has been stable at 46,000 cases per year. The total consumption of ordinary formulas and the proportion of ordinary formulas users showed a descending trend. The proportion of specialized formulas users among discharged patients remained at 10%, with an upward trend in the proportion of high-calorie formulas and extensively-hydrolyzed formulas.Conclusions:The enteral nutrition formulas and inpatient diets are important components of nutritional treatment. The evolution of its clinical application to some extent reflects the changes of disease spectrum and the development of clinical disciplines. In short, the dietitians play a significant role in the nutrition support team.

Operating conditions for the rapid mutation of the oleaginous yeast by atmospheric and room temperature plasmas and the characteristics of the mutants / 生物工程学报

To obtain oleaginous yeast mutants with improved lipid production and growth rates, an atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) jet was used with a 96-well plate for high throughput screening. Mutants with changes in growth rates and lipid contents were obtained. At a lethality rate of 99%, the positive mutation rate of the yeast cells was 27.2% evaluated by the growth rates of the mutants and the comparison with the wild strain. The fermentation in a medium composed of yeast extract (10 g/L), peptone (10 g/L) and D-glucose (20 g/L) resulted in the lipid yield of the mutant (C4) with 4.07% (W/W) compared with that of the wild strain (1.87%).
