Here, the synthetic gene based on Escherichia coli P5091 purchase codon usage of new alpha-type CA (HC-aCA) of Hahella chejuensis, a Korea marine microorganism, was highly expressed in E. coli. We obtained a high yield of functional HC-aCA by denaturing/refolding process and incorporating zinc ion into its active site. The refolded
HC-aCA displayed a half-deactivation temperature of 60 A degrees C with maximal activity at 50 A degrees C, and had high pH stability in alkali condition with maximal activity at pH 10.0. The esterase activity of HC-aCA almost doubled at high salt concentration ranging from 0.67 to 2.0 M NaCl. HC-aCA catalyzed the conversion of CO2 to CaCO3 as calcites form in the presence of Ca2+. The refolded HC-aCA could be a promising candidate for the development of efficient CA-based CO2 sequestration processes.”
“We studied neuromuscular block at the orbicularis oris, corrugator supercilii, and adductor pollicis muscles in anesthetized patients.
Fifty-four adult patients undergoing air-oxygen-sevoflurane-fentanyl and epidural anesthesia were randomly divided into orbicularis oris, corrugator supercilii, and adductor pollicis groups of 18 patients each. In the three groups, the degree of neuromuscular block caused by rocuronium signaling pathway 0.6 mg/kg was
monitored at the orbicularis oris, corrugator supercilii, and adductor pollicis muscles acceleromyographically.
Onset of neuromuscular block did not significantly differ among the three groups [157 +/- A 60, 186 +/- A 73, and 148 +/- A 45 s; mean +/- A standard deviation (SD)]. Minimum value of 1st stimulation in train-of-four (T1)/control at the corrugator
supercilii group was significantly higher than in the orbicularis oris and adductor pollicis groups (0.108 +/- A 0.066 vs. 0.021 +/- A 0.024 and 0.002 +/- A 0.007; P < 0.001). T1/control at the orbicularis oris group was significantly higher than at the adductor pollicis group 30 min after rocuronium (P < 0.05). T1/control at the corrugator supercilii group was significantly higher than at the orbicularis oris and adductor pollicis groups 10-30 and 10-40 min, respectively, after rocuronium (P < 0.05). Train-of-four ratios at the orbicularis oris and GSK923295 molecular weight corrugator supercilii groups were significantly higher than at the adductor pollicis group 40-120 min after rocuronium (P < 0.05).
The corrugator supercilii muscle is more resistant to rocuronium than the orbicularis oris and adductor pollicis muscles. Recovery of neuromuscular block at the orbicularis oris muscle is slower than that at the corrugator supercilii muscle but was faster than that at the adductor pollicis muscle.”
