This strain was identified to be Rhodotorula bacarum by BIOLOG analysis. This is the first report that pullulan was produced by Rhodotorula bacarum. The optimal medium (g L -1) for pullulan production by this strain was 80 glucose, 20 soybean cake hydrolysate, 5 K 2HPO 4, 1 NaCl, 0.2 MgSO 4·7H 2O, 0.6 (NH 4) 2SO 4, pH 7.0. Under this condition, 54 g L -1 pullulan was produced within 60 h at 30 ℃. Pullulan is a better starting material for producing marine prodrugs.展开更多

Glucose promotes glycosylation of both plasma and cellular proteins with increased risk for vascular events. Diabetic patients suffer from a higher incidence of cardiovascular complications such as diabetic ne-phropathy. Haptoglobin （Hp） is an antioxidant plasma protein which binds free hemoglobin, thus preventing heme-iron mediated oxidation. Two alleles exist at the Hp gene locus （1 and 2） encoding three possible Hp genotypes that differ in their antioxidant ability, and may respond differently to vitamin E treatment. Several clinical studies to have shown that Hp 1-1 genotype is a superior antioxidant to the Hp 2-2 genotype and Hp 2-2 genotype is associated with a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease. Vitamin E was found to have benefcial effect in patient and mice with Hp 2-2 geno-type. In this review we have summarized the results of our studies in patients with diabetic nephropathy treated with vitamin E and in diabetic mice with differ-ent haptoglobin genotypes.展开更多
