离子对啤酒酵母代谢产酸的影响

在离子型培养基中分别添加6.804,13.610,27.216 g/L 的KH2PO4以及66.39,138.75, 277.4 mg /L 的CaCl2,对通风发酵过程中的不同K^＋、Ca^2＋浓度影响啤酒酵母代谢产6种有机酸含量的动态变化进行了跟踪检测.研究结果表明,K^＋、Ca^2＋可能通过作用于酵母细胞膜上的膜蛋白或调控生理代谢网络中代谢流相关的酶,从而使不同的K^＋、Ca^2＋浓度影响啤酒酵母响应产酸的峰值和峰值响应时间;在通风发酵过程中,啤酒酵母代谢产乳酸较多（多达8.3 mg/mL）,产琥珀酸较少（不超过250 μg/mL）;发酵终点时,随K^＋、Ca^2＋浓度增大,啤酒酵母代谢产酒石酸和琥珀酸等含量减少.     

Comparison of the diagnostic criteria for diabetes mellitus, WHO-1985, ADA-1997 and WHO-1999 in the adult population of Asturias (Spain).

AIMS: To estimate the prevalence of diabetes mellitus with three diagnostic criteria (WHO-1985 and 1999 and ADA-1997), evaluate their concordance and analyse the sensitivity and specificity of the different screening strategies for diabetes. METHODS: A cross-sectional population study with two-step sampling. One thousand and 34 people were selected randomly. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed and venous blood samples were obtained fasting and at 2 h. RESULTS: The prevalence of known Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2) is 4%[95% confidence interval (CI) 2.8, 5.1]. By WHO-1985 criteria the prevalence of unknown DM-2 is 5.9% (4.5, 7.4); by ADA-1997 criteria 3.5% (2.5, 4.6) and by WHO-1999 criteria 7.3% (5.8, 8.8). Diagnostic overlap and statistical concordance (coefficient K) are WHO-1985/ADA-1997 29.3%, K=0.42; WHO-1985/WHO-1999 80%, K=0.88; ADA-1997/WHO-1999 48%, K=0.63. If only fasting glucose was used (following ADA-1997), 36.3% of those with diabetes (2-h glucose > or =11.1 mmol/l) would be diagnosed. If OGTT was performed (i) in those with a fasting glucose between 6.1 mmol/l and 6.9 mmol/l (9.8% of the population) we would diagnose 66.6%, and (ii) in all those between 5.7 mmol/l and 6.9 mmol/l (18.9% of the population) 81.8% would be diagnosed. CONCLUSIONS: The ADA criteria decrease the prevalence of DM in the adult population of Asturias by 2.4% and concordance with the classical criteria (WHO-1985) was only 29.3%. Using fasting glucose only (ADA-1997) diagnoses 36.3% of those with diabetes. The recent recommendations of the WHO-1999 increases this to 66.6%. To improve the diagnostic strategy for diabetes and detect up to 81.8% of patients, we propose the use of OGTT for all those with a fasting glucose between 5.7 mmol/l and 6.9 mmol/l.     

Prostaglandin E1‐effective,transient‐type ischemic colitis developed after surgical resection of sigmoid colon cancer. A case report

A 55‐year‐old‐man had a laparoscopic resection of the sigmoid colon due to colon cancer with submucosal invasion. After the surgery he suffered ileus and had a laparotomy. Six months later he complained of frequent defecation. Colonoscopy confirmed a circular ulcer extending from the anal side of the anastomosis in the sigmoid colon to the mid rectum. Endoscopic ultrasound demonstrated thickening of all layers of the diseased colon and rectum. We diagnosed ischemic colitis. After intravenous drip infusion of prostaglandin, symptoms and colonic stricture gradually improved. Although abdominal angiography revealed a narrowing of the peripheral sigmoid branch of the inferior mesenteric artery, blood flow was unrestricted. Colonoscopy performed 84 days after discharge revealed an ulcer scar.     

Central fat predicts deterioration of insulin secretion index and fasting glycaemia: 6-year follow-up of subjects at varying risk of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

AIMS: To examine the relationships between body composition and changes in fasting glycaemia, and in indices of insulin secretion and insulin action over 6 years in females with a family history of Type 2 diabetes with or without prior gestational diabetes ('at risk' group, AR) and control females (control group, C). METHODS: At baseline and at follow-up, an oral glucose tolerance test and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry assessment of body composition were performed. Indices of insulin resistance (HOMA R') and insulin secretion (HOMA beta') were obtained from fasting insulin and glucose concentrations. RESULTS: At baseline, the groups were similar for age, body mass index, fasting levels of plasma glucose and insulin, HOMA R' and HOMA beta'. Despite similar total body fatness, AR had significantly greater waist circumference and central fat (both P < 0.02) compared with C. At follow-up there was a significant increase in central adiposity only in AR, and the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level was higher in AR compared with C (5.0 +/- 0.2 vs. 4.3 +/- 0.2 mmol/l, P = 0.02). This rise in plasma glucose in AR was related to a decline in HOMA beta' (r = 0.45, P = 0.0065). Both the baseline and the increments in total and central abdominal fat mass were associated with the time-related decline in HOMA beta'. CONCLUSIONS: Six years after initial assessment, AR showed deterioration in FPG levels due predominantly to a decline in insulin secretion index without major change in insulin resistance index. Importantly, baseline body fatness (especially central adiposity), as well as increases in fatness with time, were the major predictors of the subsequent decline of insulin secretion index and the consequent rise in FPG.
