ABSTRACT
As an important platform compound, 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) can be used as a substrate to synthesize a variety of biological products with commercial potential. The titer of 3-HP by wild-type bacteria is low, which severely limits the large-scale application and production of 3-HP. By modifying the genes related to the metabolic pathway, engineered bacteria using cheap substrates as carbon sources are constructed, the aim of reducing production cost and increasing output is realized. In this paper, the recent progress in the synthesis of 3-HP by metabolic engineering at home and abroad is reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of glycerol pathway, malonyl-CoA pathway and beta-alanine pathway for synthesis of 3-HP are also summarized and analyzed, and the future development of 3-HP is prospected.

Objective to determine predictive factors of intestinal obstruction in acute myocardial infraction (AMI) patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to establish predictive model.Methods A total of 1220 AMI patients underwent primary PCI in Jiangxi provincial people's hospitalfrom June2004 toJune 2014were retrospectively analyzed.And 1025 cases of them whichall met the inclusion and exclusion criteriawere randomlydivided by using random number generated by SPSS 17.0 into two cohorts:model derivation cohort (MDC) and model validation cohort (MVC).MDC was divided into intestinal obstruction group and control group.predictive factors were identified using univariable andmultivariable logistic regression analysis in MDC.Interger point values were assigned to each predictor based upon their coefficient in multivariable logistic regression model to establish scoring model.The summed scores of each case in MVC were calculated to test predictive ability of the model by ROC cure.Results Total of 1 025 patients,103 patients were diagnosed with different types of intestinal obstruction and the incidence of intestinal obstruction was 10.0％.Low position intestinal obstruction,incomplete intestinal obstruction and simple intestinal obstructionwere main characteristics in these patients.logistic regression analysis identified ten risk factorscan predict the appearance of intestinal obstruction:age ＞ 65years old (OR =1.44,95％ CI:1.26-4.63,P =0.000),diabetes mellitus (OR =3.37,95％ CI:2.39-9.47,P =0.000),habitual constipation (OR =4.75,95 ％ CI:3.58-11.24,P =0.024),inferior and extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction (OR =2.16,95％ CI:1.94-4.79,P =0.017),cardiac functiongrade≥3 class (Killip classification) (OR=2.86,95％CI:1.98-5.67,P=0.002),femoral approach (OR=2.76,95％CI:1.38-6.12,P=0.002),K+ ＜3.5 mmol/L (OR=1.86,95％CI:1.11-5.47,P =0.005),taking laxative (OR =3.59,95％ CI:2.99-10.21,P =0.000),using morphine (OR =1.98,95％ CI:1.07-3.12,P =0.021) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ＜60 mL · min-1 · 1.73m-2 (OR =1.19,95％ CI:1.10-3.22,P =0.031).and areas under the ROC cure was 0.815 (95％ CI:0.802-0.883,P =0.000) and indicating the accuracy of predicting intestinal obstruction.Conclusions age ＞ 65 years old,diabetes mellitus,habitual constipation,inferior and extensive anterior parts of myocardial infarction,cardiac functiongrade ≥3class (Killip classification),femoral approach,K + ＜3.5mmol/L,taking laxative,using morphine and eGFR ＜ 60 ml.min-1.1.73m2 were important predictive factors for intestinal obstruction in AMI patients after underwent 0 and the scoring model can predict accurately intestinal obstruction in such patients.
ABSTRACT
[ABSTRACT]AIM:Tostudytherelationshipbetweenhuman8-oxoguanineglycosylase1(hOGG1)gene Ser326Cys polymorphism and severity of coronary artery lesions in the patients with diabetes mellitus .METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 323 patients with diabetic mellitus receiving coronary angiography .These patients underwent the test of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and were divided into Cys/Cys genotype (n=85), Ser/Ser genotype (n=121) and Ser/Cys genotype (n=117) according to the results of PCR-RFLP. All clinical data including history of diseases , complications and biochemical markers , such as blood glucose , blood lipids and so on, were recorded.hOGG1 mRNA and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were measured by RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively.The results of coronary angiography such as number and severity of coronary artery with lesions were analyzed by 2 cardiovascular physicians .Gensini score and SYNTAX score were also detected by the unitary criteria .RE-SULTS:(1)8-OHdG in Cys/Cys genotype was higher than that in Ser /Ser genotype and Ser/Cys genotype (P0.05).(2)hOGG1 mRNA ex-pression in Cys/Cys genotype was lower than that in Ser/Ser genotype and Ser/Cys genotype (P0.05) was observed.(3)The probability of triple vessel lesions in Cys/Cys genotype was high and the probability of single vessel lesions in Ser /Cys genotype was low , but the difference among 3 genotypes was not statistically significant (P>0.05).(4)Gensini score and SYNTAX score in Cys/Cys genotype were 48.7 ±15.3 and 39.5 ±17.2, respectively, and the ratio of complex lesions in Cys/Cys genotype was 73.0%.These scores and the ratio of complex lesions were higher than the other 2 genotypes (P0.05).CONCLUSION:hOGG1 gene Ser326Cys polymorphism has relationship with coronary artery lesions in the patients with diabetes mellitus and Cys /Cys genotype might have some impacts on the severity of lesions .The mRNA expression of hOGG1 in the patients with diabetes mellitus carrying Cys/Cys genotype is lower than that in the patients carrying the other 2 genotypes , then decreases the abil-ity of identification and removal of 8-OHdG and the capacity of repairing DNA oxidative damage , and accelerates the devel-opment of atherosclerosis .
ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare the efifcacy between emergent and delayed stent implantation in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after thrombus extraction. Methods: A total of 82 STEMI patients who received thrombus extraction and intracoronary injection of tiroifban, sodium nitroprusside, nitroglycerin via thrombus extraction catheter and with recovered TIMI 3 lfow from 2012-11 to 2014-01 were retrospectively studied. The patients were randomized into 2 groups by SAS software: Emergent group, the patients received stent implantation immediately upon diagnosis and Delayed group, the patients were treated by anti-platelet and anticoagulant medication for 10-14 days, and then received stent implantation. n=41 in each group. The primary and secondary indicators were compared between 2 groups which including ST-segment resolution (STR), the occurrence rate of no-relfow/slow-relfow, myocardial blush grade (MBG) 3, parameters of stent, ventricular remodeling condition, the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Results: ①Delayed group had the post PCI STR at (68.2 ± 9.2)%, TIMI 3 grade at 97.5%, MBG 3 at 69.0%and corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC) at (19.5 ± 5.2), compared with Emergent group, P0.05, while LVEDV and LVEDD increased than 1 week, P Conclusion: Delayed stent implantation in STEMI patients after thrombus extraction had reduced incidence of post PCI no-relfow/slow-relfow phenomenon, improved myocardial reperfusion and less MACE occurrence.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the improved percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) in elderly patients with mitral stenosis. Methods Elderly patients with severe mitral stenosis received an improved PBMV which included a modified way of atrial septal puncture and technique across the mitral valve. The left atrial pressrue (LAP), mean pulmonary pressure (MPA), mean gradient across the mitral value (MPG) and mitral valve area (MVA) were recorded and compared before and after the operation. Long term follow up were made. Results After operation, the LAP decreased [(25.3±6.7) mm Hg vs.(16.4±5.8) mm Hg,1 mm Hg=0.133 Kpa], MPG decreased [(17.6±6.7) mm Hg vs.(6.8±2.9) mm Hg], MPA decreased [(38.6±12.1) mm Hg vs. (29.2±9.8) mm Hg], MVA increased [(1.05±0.22)cm2 vs.(1.61±0.38)cm2] and the New York heart association heart function classification improved. The follow-up result showed that the effect of PBMV was constant. Conclusions Improved PBMV may be an effective and safe measure for patients with mitral stenosis.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the serious complications of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV). Methods Between October , 1986,and November, 2000, 1200 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis age 9-66 older underwent PBMV by Inoue Way. 98% of the balloon catheters were self-made and single balloon catheters.Results Operative successful rate was 98.82% . Serious complications occurred in 51 patients or (4.4%), including 4 cases of death (0.33%), 5 acute serious mitral regurgitation (0.42%), 8 acute cardiac tamponade (0.66%), 28 severe arrhythmia (2.3%), 4 acute left ventricular failure and acute pulmonary edema (0.33%), and 8 systemic thromboembolis. The four cases of death included 1 with acute pulmonary edema, 1 with cardiac arrest, and 2 with acute left ventricular failure with low cardiac output. Conclusion The results demonstrate that PBMV is an efifective and reliable procedure in the treatment of rheumatic mitral stenosis, but a marked decreasement in complication rates is attributable to refinement of patient selection criterion, technical advance in procedure, and strictly management of patients.
ABSTRACT
Forty-eight patients with essential hypertension or coronary disease in cardiac function NYHA class I underwent a routine electrocardiography and a cotour Dopper echocardiography were studied,and by multiple stepwise regression analysis irwas found that significant partial correlations exist between PTFVl and left atrial dimensionas wee as E peak,Macruz index and A peak.Macruz index≥1.6 gave a sensitivity of 71%VS accuracy 64% for A peak increase(>70 cm/s),of 61% vs 58% for A/E>1 respectively,.These results suggest that electrocardiographlic indexes of abnormality of left atriun combined with Colour Doppler echocardiograpby may be more helpful to predict wkether the latent left ventricutar diastolic dysfunction or decrease of diastolic reserve was present or absent in patients with essential hypertension or coronary artery disease in normal clinical cardiac function.
