    摘要: A process for producing hydroxyalkanoate copolymers, which comprises: (i) pre-treating a sucrose-containing feedstock in an acidic solution; (ii) feeding the pre-treated feedstock into a bioreactor containing polyhydroxyalkanoate producing microbial cells; (iii) cultivating the polyhydroxyalkanoate producing microbial cells to form a cell mass containing the hydroxyalkanoate copolymers; (iv) recovering the hydroxyalkanoate copolymers from the cell mass. The pre-treating step has the main function of hydrolyzing sucrose into glucose and fructose, which in turn are converted into 4-ketovaleric acid to give a mixture of mono-saccharides and organic precursors for microbial synthesis of hydroxyalkanoate copolymers, and particularly of PHBVV ter-polymers. Complex and expensive purification processes of the substrates obtained from the pre-treating step are not needed. The solutions can be directly used as the feeding solutions for microbial PHA biosynthesis.

    摘要: Novel gene deletions and translocations involving chromosome 2 resulting in fusion proteins combining part of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) kinase with part of a secondary protein have now been identified in human solid tumors, e.g. non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Secondary proteins include Echinoderm Microtubule-Associated Protein-Like 4 (EML-4) and TRK-Fusion Gene (TFG). The EML4-ALK fusion protein, which retains ALK tyrosine kinase activity, was confirmed to drive the proliferation and survival of NSCLC characterized by this mutation. The invention therefore provides, in part, isolated polynucleotides and vectors encoding the disclosed mutant polypeptides, probes for detecting it, isolated mutant polypeptides, and reagents for detecting the fusion and truncated polypeptides. The invention also provides methods for determining the presence of these mutant polypeptides in a biological sample, methods for screening for compounds that inhibit the proteins, and methods for inhibiting the progression of a cancer characterized by the mutant polynucleotides or polypeptides.

    摘要: A diode structure, formed under a buried dielectric layer of a silicon on insulator (SOI), method of manufacturing the same and design structure thereof are provided. In an embodiment the p-n junction of the diode structure can be advantageously arranged in a vertical orientation. The cathode comprises an N+ epitaxial layer formed upon a P-type substrate. The anode comprises an active region of the P-substrate. Contacts to the cathode and anode are formed through the buried dielectric layer. Contact to the anode is accomplished via a deep trench filled with a conductive plug. The deep trench also provides electrical isolation for the cathode (as well as p-n junction). Advantageously, embodiments of the present invention may be formed during formation of other structures which also include trenches (for example, deep trench capacitors) in order to reduce process steps required to form the diode structure under the buried dielectric layer of the SOI substrate.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a process for producing biodegradable polymeric materials including polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by using the cell debris left from PHA recovery and purification. The process comprises: (a) cultivating PHA-producing microbial cells in a medium solution containing an organic carbon source to form PHAs that are accumulated in the cells as inclusion bodies; (b) harvesting the cells from the spent medium and solubilizing the non-PHA cell mass to obtain a PHA solid and a cell debris solution; (c) separating the PHA solid from the cell debris solution; (d) feeding the cell debris solution to the cultivation step (a). By reusing the cell debris generated from PHA recovery, the invention avoids disposal of a large amount of aqueous waste. In addition, a remarkable increase of cell growth and PHA synthesis is achieved, because the cell debris can be readily assimilated by the microbial cells as the nutrients.
