Studies on the effects of certain salts on germination,on growth of root,and on metabolism

Summary The effects of different concentrations of KCl, K₂SO₄, MgCl₂ and MgSO₄ on the growth in length of the first seminal root of wheat, and on the change in fresh and oven-dry weight of the seedling and its component parts have been studied. The effect of mannitol was also investigated for comparison and to study the osmotic action. The effect of salts on root growth was dependent on salt species; all effects were specific to ions and not due to osmotic activity of solution. The growth of wheat roots was suppressed by concentrations of salts much lower than those required to suppress germination. All solutions of KCl from 0.1 to 50 me/l checked the growth of the root; the retardation increased with increase of concentration. In K₂SO₄ there was a slight activation of root growth for one day in 0.1 and 0.5 me/l; then the growth was suppressed after that. In all other concentrations from 1 to 50 me/l the growth was retarded. In MgCl₂ or MgSO₄ there was some activation of root elongation in 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 me/l; but higher concentrations retarded root growth.

Studies on adsorption of amyloglucosidase on ion-exchange resins

Highly charged water-soluble conjugates of amyloglucosidase with a copolymer of ethylene-maleic acid or styrene-maleic acid were prepared and adsorbed on DEAE-cellulose and other cationic resins. Negatively charged enzyme conjugates were also obtained by means of succinylation. The polyanionic conjugates of amyloglucosidase adsorbed on the cationic carriers show higher temperature stability than the native enzyme adsorbed on the same carriers under the same experimental conditions. The insoluble enzyme conjugate-carrier complexes could be reused and retained their full activity while working continuously for three weeks. The application of the insoluble enzyme preparations with the above characteristics which could possibly satisfy the requirements for industry are discussed.     

Studies on micronuclei time response and on the effects of multiple treatments of mutagens on induction of micronuclei

Micronuclei time response and the effects of multiple treatments of mutagens on induction of micronuclei were studied. In the time-response investigation, mice were treated once with each of 5 mutagens, then killed at various times. The bone marrow was examined for the presence of micronucleated erythrocytes (MNEs). The maximal frequencies for MNEs occurred around 30 h post treatment for all mutagens tested. To examine the effects of multiple treatments, the frequencies of MNEs observed after a single- or a 5-treatment schedule were compared for 9 mutagens. Both treatment schedules were equally sensitive in detecting alkylating agents and spindle poisons, whereas the 5-treatment schedule was more sensitive for anti-metabolites. The 5-treatment schedule was particularly effective for detecting the anti-metabolites 5-fluorouracil and methotrexate, which require longer than 30 h to induce micronuclei (Maier and Schmid, 1976). These results suggest that it is practicable to sample at 30 h in the single-treatment schedule, and seem to support the usefulness of the 5-treatment schedule in screening tests.     

Effect of sunlight on the survival of Salmonella on surfaces

AIMS: To investigate the effect of simulated full-spectrum tropical sunlight on the survival of Salmonella in droplets on surfaces. MATERIALS AND RESULTS: The survival on surfaces of three Zambian strains of Salmonella enterica serovars Enteritidis and Heidelberg was compared with that of a strain of S. enterica serovar Enteritidis phage type (PT) 4 with known characteristics which had been isolated from poultry in the UK. Samples were taken from surfaces every hour for 3 h and after 24 h exposure in either dark or 12 h light/12 h dark cycle conditions. Differences were analysed for significance using a one-way analysis of variance (anova). Results show that there were a significantly higher number of cells surviving on surfaces after 24 h in the dark when compared with populations exposed to a 12 h light/12 h dark cycle. Significantly more cells also survived exposure to sunlight under dirty than clean conditions. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to sunlight results in a significant decrease in numbers of Salmonella on surfaces. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Under field conditions exposure of contaminated surfaces to sunlight could be used in place of chemical methods of control as a cheaper way to reduce Salmonella contamination of surfaces.     

Studies on adsorption of dyes on beta-cyclodextrin polymer

Beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) polymers are used for the removal of various dyes from aqueous solutions. Three insoluble polymers with different degrees of beta-CD were used. Results of adsorption experiments showed that these polymers exhibited high sorption capacities toward dyes. The mechanism of adsorption was both physical adsorption and hydrogen bonding due to the polymer and the formation of an inclusion complex due to the beta-CD molecules through host-guest interactions.     

Studies on the immobilization of trypsin on sand

Trypsin was immobilized on sand using five different methods. Attempts were made to attach amino-functional groups onto sand using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, hexamethylenetetramine, hexamethylenediamine, and melamine. Glutaraldehyde was used as a bifunctional agent in all the methods. Methods for the estimation of the proteolytic 1activity and protein content of immobilized trypsin were standardized. The maximum retained activity was observed for trypsin immobilized on sand via 3-aminopropytriethoxysilane and glutaraldehyde. Immobilized trypsin showed a shift in the pH optimum toward the acidic side over that of soluble trypsin in all five cases. The optimum temperature for both native and immobilized trypsin prepared by the silane-glutaraldehyde method was found to be 45°C. However, the pH and thermal stabilities of immobilized trypsin were observed to be better than that of the native enzyme.

Studies on the influence of ozone on complement-mediated killing of bacteria

Abstract The role of ozone in the susceptibility of clinical isolates of Acinetobacter anitratus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to serum was investigated. It was found that ozone-treated cells were more susceptible to complement-mediated killing serum. These results suggest that ozone damage or change of cell membrane leads to a more rapid penetration of the membrane attack complex of complement.     

PLGA的不同组成对支架材料性能的影响研究

研究PLGA的不同组成对支架材料的力学性能、降解性能和生物学性能的影响。采用溶液浇注/颗粒沥取法制备出不同组成的PLGA多孔支架,对支架的力学性能和降解速率进行考察,同时将人真皮成纤维细胞接种于不同组成的PLGA支架材料上,培养不同时间后,检测细胞的粘附率和增殖率,以及细胞产生的总胶原含量,并通过扫描电镜观察支架上的细胞形态。结果显示,随PLA比例的增加,支架的力学强度增加,降解速率降低,但都不是线性变化。70:30比例的支架,拉伸强度最高,而70:30和80:20两种比例的支架,其降解速率没有显著性差异。PLGA不同组成的支架,均具有良好的细胞相容性,成纤维细胞粘附率和增殖率在三种比例的支架上没有显著性差异,细胞在支架表面生长良好,分泌大量的细胞外基质,细胞基本铺满整个支架。本文研究发现,PLGA的组成对支架力学性能、降解性能和生物学性能有细小但显著的影响,这将对组织构建选用PLGA支架材料提供有益的帮助。

Novel paradigm on the effect of estrogen on bone

According to prevailing unitary model of involutional osteoporosis, female postmenopausal bone loss can be divided into two separate phases: the accelerated, transient phase, which is most distinct over the subsequent decade after the menopause and accounts for 20-30% of the cancellous bone loss and 5-10% of the cortical bone loss (type I osteoporosis), and the following gradual, continuous bone loss (type II osteoporosis). Estrogen deficiency is currently quite unanimously accepted as the primary cause of type I osteoporosis, as well as also a major determinant of type II osteoporosis, and quite plausibly, the quest to uncover the origin of type I (and II) osteoporosis has focused on the estrogen withdrawal-related skeletal changes at and around the menopause. However, given that the cyclical secretion of estrogen begins normally in early adolescence and continues over the entire fertile period (excluding the potential periods of pregnancy) until the eventual cessation of female reproductive capability, one could argue that this menopause-oriented approach is limited in scope. In this review, some classic findings of the pubertal effects of estrogen on female bones are presented, findings that were paramount to Fuller Albright when he first described the disease called postmenopausal osteoporosis in 1940, but studies/findings that have failed to attract the attention they deserve. When these findings are incorporated with the primary function of the axial skeleton and long bones, the locomotion, an alternative, novel explanation for the function of estrogen and accordingly, the origin of the accelerated phase of postmenopausal bone loss, is proposed: estrogen packs mechanically excess bone/mineral into the female skeleton at puberty, a bone stock that later serves as the origin of the type I postmenopausal osteoporosis.
