Lucanus qizhihaoi, a new stag beetle from Wuyishan National Park of Fujian, China (Coleoptera: Lucanidae: Lucaninae).

A new stag beetle species is described from Wuyishan National Park of Fujian, China, Lucanus qizhihaoi Lin, Su, Xin & Song, new species, which represents the easternmost distribution record of the L. boileaui group, previously known only from southwestern China and northern Indochina Peninsula. Evidences are found on morphological characters, the mitochondrial marker COI and significant geographic isolation to clearly distinguished the new species from its closest relative, L.

Improving the biotransformation of phytosterols to 9α-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione by deleting embC associated with the assembly of cell envelope in Mycobacterium neoaurum.

The conversion of low value-added phytosterols into 9α-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione (9-OHAD) by mycobacteria is an important step in the steroid pharmaceutical industry. However, the highly dense cell envelope with extremely low permeability largely affects the overall transformation efficiency. Here, we preliminarily located the key gene embC required for the synthesis of lipoarabinomannan from lipomannan in Mycobacterium neoaurum.

[Primary investigation on fumigation and moxibustion in treatment ulcer and sore of yin syndrome].

To explore the fumigation and moxibustion therapy in treatment of ulcer and sore of yin syndrome. The fumigation and moxibustion therapy is the combination of fumigation and moxibustion, in which, smoking fumigation is provided with warming effect and the actions as moxibustion. This therapy works on the efficacy of both fumigation and moxibustion.
