Abstracts@#Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae lysate, two in-solution trypsin digestions (chloroform-methanol-water precipitation and RapiGest) were compared to the recently reported gel-aided sample preparation (GASP) workflow. Our proteomic results showed that GASP afforded the highest number of overall protein identifications and peptide spectrum matches without systematic bias towards peptide or protein size.

Bacteria have evolved various mechanisms to extract utilizable substrates from available resources and consequently acquire fitness advantage over competitors. One of the strategies is the exploitation of cryptic cellular functions encoded by genetic systems that are silent under laboratory conditions, such as the bgl (β-glucoside) operon of E. coli. The bgl operon of Escherichia coli, involved in the uptake and utilization of aromatic β-glucosides salicin and arbutin, is maintained in a silent state in the wild type organism by the presence of structural elements in the regulatory region. This operon can be activated by mutations that disrupt these negative elements. The fact that the silent bgl operon is retained without accumulating deleterious mutations seems paradoxical from an evolutionary view point. Although this operon appears to be silent, specific physiological conditions might be able to regulate its expression and/or the operon might be carrying out function(s) apart from the utilization of aromatic β-glucosides. This is consistent with the observations that the activated operon confers a Growth Advantage in Stationary Phase (GASP) phenotype to Bgl+ cells and exerts its regulation on at least twelve downstream target genes.

Objective Gasp was defined as a pathology respiration during cardiac arrest. This study was to investigate its effect on hemodynamics during CPR. Method Twelve domestic pigs, weighening (30 ± 1) kg,were anaesthetized. After tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation, continuous respiratory variables were recorded. An artery catheter was inserted for reference blood samples and measuring aortic artery pressure (AOP).Right atrial pressure (RAP) and cardiac output (CO) were detected by Swan-Ganz catheter. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) was induced by programmed electrical stimulation instruments. After 4 minutes untreated VF, standard 30:2 CPR was done for 12 minutes and the parameters were recorded. Results pH, PaCO2 and lactic acid increased and PaO2 decreased progressively during CPR, whereas PaO2 was up to 50mmHg during the whole protocol. Gasps were observed in 10 animals, but weaken gradually; the left 2 animals with no gasp did not restore of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Standard CPR could produce passive ventilation more than dead space (VD), but its tidal volume decreased gradually, which led to the percentage of rescue ventilation increased progressively. Positive correlations were found between CO, coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) and minute ventilation of gasps (MVg) (r was 0.736 and 0.721 respectively, both P <0.01); negative correlation were found between RAP and MVg (r= -0. 744, P < 0.01). Conclusions Standard CPR could maintain 12 minutes oxygenation of body; compressions could produce enough passive ventilation more than VD; gasps were benefit to ROSC by increasing CO, CPP and decreasing RAP.

The traditional view of bacterial life cycle consists of four phases,namely,lag phase,exponential or logarithmic phase,stationary phase and death phase.Although the standard textbook description of the bacterial life cycle has been useful,might not always provide us the whole visage of bacteria growth process.Recently,it has demonstrated that bacterial life cycle is expanded to five phases.It is a significant different growth phase after death phase:long-term stationary phase,which may be more akin to the nature environment in which microorganisms exist.Microbial cells survive due to mutating,and forming growth advantage during stationary phase (GASP) phenotype in this phase.It is very important for further study the microorganisms in this phase.
