  • Publication number: 20240139110
    Abstract: A sleep-regulating tablet allowing release by stages and a preparation method thereof are provided. The tablet structurally consists of a drug-containing delayed-release tablet core, a drug-free stomach-soluble coating, a drug-free enteric coating, a drug-containing immediate-release shell, and a shell stomach-soluble coating sequentially from inside to outside. An ideal dual-stage timed drug release mode may be realized, and is especially suitable for a sleep-regulating drug, such as ramelteon.

  • Publication number: 20230109256
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the bioengineering field, and relates to a method for fermentation production of L-theanine by using an Escherichia coli genetically engineered bacterium. The engineered bacterium is obtained by serving a strain as an original strain, wherein the strain is obtained after performing a single copy of T7RNAP, a dual copy of gmas, xylR knockout, and sucCD knockout on an Escherichia coli W3110 genome, and by integrating genes xfp, pta, acs, gltA, and ppc, and knocking out ackA on the genome. The present invention has a high yield, and stable production performance; after 20-25 h, L-theanine has a titer of 75-80 g/L, and the yield is up to 52-55%. The fermentation broth is purified by membrane separation in combination with a cation-anion resin series technique. Moreover, the one-step crystallization yield is 72.3% and the L-theanine final product has a purity of 99%.

  • Patent number: 11609811
    Abstract: An automated root-cause analysis (RCA) system may provide a fully automated platform that provides dependency and execution order modeling for tasks included in a capacity provisioning process, anomaly detection, ticket correlation, root-cause analysis, monitoring and feedback, and data visualization. The automated RCA system may continuously collect and store data for use in determining a root cause of a blockage on a capacity provisioning process. The blockage may be identified in a ticket generated by a cloud-computing system. The automated RCA system may receive the ticket and attempt to determine the root cause of the blockage based on root causes associated with previous tickets generated by the cloud-computing system. The automated RCA system may identify a true root cause, recommend repair items based on the true root cause, identify one or more responsible teams to drive a fix, and provide an estimated time for completion.

  • Patent number: 11479795
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a genetically engineered strain for sarcosine production as well as a construction method and application. The genetically engineered strain is obtained by using Escherichia coli as a host and by integrating a single copy of imine reductase gene dpkA on its genome; singly copying citrate synthase gene gltA; knocking out glyoxylate cycle inhibitor gene iclR; knocking out malate synthase gene aceB; integrating a single copy of isocitrate lyase gene aceA; integrating a single copy of membrane-bound transhydrogenase gene pntAB; knocking out 2-ketate reductase gene ycdW; integrating a single copy of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene ppc; and knocking out pyruvate kinase gene pykF. After system metabolism transformation, the engineered strain can synthesize sarcosine with glucose and methylamine as main raw materials. The sarcosine titer can reach 10 g/L after fermentation for 30 h in a 5 L fermenter.

  • Patent number: 11124780
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a genetically engineered strain with high production of uridine and its construction method and application. The strain was constructed as follows: heterologously expressing pyrimidine nucleoside operon sequence pyrBCAKDFE (SEQ ID NO:1) on the genome of E coli prompted by strong promoter Ptrc to reconstruct the pathway of uridine synthesis; overexpressing the autologous prsA gene coding PRPP synthase by integration of another copy of prsA gene promoted by strong promoter Ptrc on the genome; deficiency of uridine kinase, uridine phosphorylase, ribonucleoside hydrolase, homoserine dehydrogenase I and ornithine carbamoyltransferase. When the bacteria was used for producing uridine, 40-67 g/L uridine could be obtained in a 5 L fermentor after fermentation for 40-70 h using the technical scheme provided by the disclosure with the maximum productivity of 0.15-0.25 g uridine/g glucose and 1.
