    Abstract: The present invention relates to a strong base-initiated N-carboxyanhydride rapid ring-opening polymerisation method. Specifically, the method comprises steps of: performing a polymerisation reaction with one or more amino acid N-carboxyanhydride monomers in an organic solvent in the presence of an initiator, so as to form an amino acid polymer, wherein the initiator is selected from the following group: LiHMDS, NaHMDS, KHMDS, or a combination thereof. The method significantly increases the speed of traditional NCA polymerisation and prepares a long-chain polymer, and the prepared amino acid polymer may be used as an anti-bacterial material, an anti-tumour material, a tissue engineering scaffold or a self-assembling material.

    Abstract: Provided is a sensory quality evaluation method for tobacco and tobacco products using an electronic nose instrument. The electronic nose instrument includes a gas sensor array module, an automatic smoke sampling system, a computer control and data analysis system, and an automatic ignition device. These components are integrated in a test box to make the instrument be structure miniaturization and work automation. The large tobacco data is established, in which the relationship between the responses of gas sensor array and the brand labels and sensory quality index scores by testing a large number of standard cigarette samples. A cascade type of modular neural networks is proposed with revised activation function and new decision-making and quantification rules to simulate the smoking and evaluating process of the professional panel. The electronic nose instrument and method realize on-site detection, discrimination and quality score estimation of a large number of tobacco and tobacco products.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a genetically-engineered Mycobacterium strain and a use thereof in the preparation of steroidal compounds. The genetically-engineered Mycobacterium strain is a Mycobacteria which lacks of acyl-CoA dehydrogenase genes fadE31, fadE32 and fadE33, wherein acyl-CoA dehydrogenase genes fadE31, fadE32 and fadE33 respectively encode proteins as follows: having amino acid sequences according to SEQ ID NOs 4, 6 and 8; derived by substituting, deleting or inserting one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence defined by preceding protein and having the same function as that of the preceding protein. The present invention constructs a genetically-engineered Mycobacterium strain and applies it in preparing steroidal compounds, thereby enriching the types of valuable intermediates, improving the production efficiency and product quality of steroid drugs, reducing energy consumption in the steroid drugs production, simplifying production steps, and reducing production costs.
