This study aimed to improve the water solubility of 5,7-dimethoxyflavone (5,7-DMF) isolated from Kaempferia parviflora by complexation with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβ-CD). The phase solubility profile of 5,7-DMF in the presence of HPβ-CD was classified as AL-type and indicated a 1:1 mole ratio. Differential scanning colorimetry, X-ray diffraction, NMR and SEM analyses supported the formation of a 5,7-DMF/HPβ-CD inclusion complex involving the A ring of 5,7-DMF inside the HPβ-CD cavity. This is the first example of CD inclusion with the A ring of non-hydroxyl flavones. The stability and binding constants of the complexes were determined using the phase solubility and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, respectively. The water solubility of 5,7-DMF was increased 361.8-fold by complexation with HPβ-CD and overcame the precipitation problem observed in aqueous buffers, such as during in vitro anti-butyrylcholinesterase activity assays. The 1:1 mole ratio of the 5,7-DMF/HPβ-CD complex showed a 2.7-fold higher butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity (in terms of the IC50 value) compared to the non-complexed compound. 相似文献

Cryopreservation of stallion semen is often associated with poor post-thaw sperm quality. Sugars are among the important components of a freezing extender and act as non-permeating cryoprotectants. This study aimed to compare the quality of stallion sperm frozen with glucose, fructose or sorbitol-containing freezing extenders. Semen was collected from six stallions of proven fertility and cryopreserved using a freezing extender containing different types of monosaccharide sugars (glucose, fructose or sorbitol). After thawing, the semen was examined for sperm motility, viability, acrosome integrity, plasma membrane functionality and sperm longevity. The fertility of semen frozen in the presence of sorbitol was also tested by artificial insemination. Sperm quality was significantly decreased following freezing and thawing (P < 0.05). Fructose was inferior for protecting sperm during cryopreservation when compared to sorbitol and glucose (P < 0.05). Although the viability, motility and acrosome integrity of sperm cryopreserved with a glucose-containing extender did not significantly differ from sperm frozen in the sorbitol-based extender when examined at 2 and 4 h post-thaw, all of these parameters plus plasma membrane functionality were improved for sperm frozen in the sorbitol extender than in the glucose extender when examined 10 min post-thaw. Two of four mares (50%) inseminated with semen frozen with a sorbitol-containing freezing extender became pregnant. It is concluded that different sugars have different abilities to protect against cryoinjury during freezing and thawing of stallion sperm. This study demonstrated that an extender containing sorbitol as primary sugar can be used to successfully cryopreserve equine sperm; moreover, the quality of frozen-thawed sperm appeared to be better than when glucose or fructose was the principle sugar in the freezing extender. 相似文献

We developed a single-tube real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with multiple hybridization probes for detecting Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, and C. parapsilosis. Primers were designed to amplify 18S rRNA gene of the genus Candida, and DNA probes were designed to hybridize two areas of the amplicons. The amplification curves and specific melting peaks of the probes hybridized with PCR product were used for definite species identifications. The reaction specificity was 100 % when evaluating the assay using DNA samples from 21 isolates of fungal and bacterial species. The assay was further evaluated in 129 fungal blood culture broth samples which were culture positive for fungus. Of the 129 samples, 119 were positively identified as: C. albicans (39), C. tropicalis (30), C. parapsilosis (23), C. glabrata (20), Candida spp. (5), and two samples containing mixed C. glabrata/C. albicans and C. glabrata/C. tropicalis. The five Candida spp. were identified by sequencing analysis as C. krusei, C. dubliniensis, C. aquaetextoris, and two isolates of C. athensensis. Of the ten samples which showed negative PCR results, six were Cryptococcus neoformans, and the others were Trichosporon sp., Rhodotorula sp., Fusarium sp., and Penicillium marneffei. Our findings show that the assay was highly effective in identifying the four medically important Candida species. The results can be available within 3 h after positivity of a blood culture broth sample. 相似文献

Embryoid body (EB) formation is a common intermediate during in vitro differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into specialized
cell types. We have optimized the slow-turning, lateral vessel (STLV) for large scale and homogenous EB production from mouse
embryonic stem cells. The effects of inoculating different cell numbers, time of EB adherence to gelatin-coated dishes, and
rotation speed for optimal EB formation and cardiac differentiation were investigated. Using 3 × 105 cells/ml, 10 rpm rotary speed and plating of EBs onto gelatin-coated surfaces three days after culture, were the best parameters
for optimal size and EB quality on consequent cardiac differentiation. These optimized parameters enrich cardiac differentiation
in ES cells when using the STLV method. 相似文献

The effect of antioxidants on motility, viability, acrosome integrity and DNA integrity of frozen-thawed epididymal cat spermatozoa 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Antioxidants partially ameliorated the negative effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during cryopreservation. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of cysteine and a water-soluble vitamin E analogue on the quality of frozen-thawed epididymal cat spermatozoa. Epididymal spermatozoa were collected from eight male cats and divided into three aliquots; these were resuspended with a tris egg yolk extender I (EE-I), or the same extender supplemented with 5mM dl-cysteine (EE-C) or with 5mM of a water-soluble vitamin E analogue (EE-Ve). Prior to the freezing step, sperm suspensions were added to the extender with Equex STM paste (EE-II). Sperm motility, progressive motility, membrane integrity, and acrosome status were evaluated at collection, after cooling, and at 0, 2, 4, and 6h post-thaw. Sperm DNA integrity was evaluated at 0 and 6h post-thaw. Relative to the control group, supplementation with vitamin E improved (P<0.05) post-thaw motility (69.4+/-5.6%), progressive motility (3.9+/-0.3), and membrane integrity (65.1+/-8.1%) immediately after thawing, whereas cysteine supplementation improved (P<0.05) post-thaw motility after 2h of incubation (53.8+/-12.2%) and DNA integrity after 6h (84.1+/-4.4%). However, neither antioxidant significantly increased the acrosome integrity of frozen-thawed spermatozoa. In conclusion, cysteine or vitamin E supplementation of tris egg yolk extender improved motility, progressive motility and integrity of the sperm membrane and DNA of frozen-thawed epididymal cat spermatozoa. 相似文献

Oocyte cryopreservation is the desired tool for the ‘long-term’ storage of female genetic potential especially for endangered/valuable species. This study aims at examining the ability of different cryoprotectant (CPA) and CPA exposure techniques to protect immature feline oocytes against cryoinjury during vitrification. Immature oocytes were submitted to different CPA exposure techniques: 1) 2-step DMSO, 2) 4-step DMSO, 3) 2-step EG, 4) 4-step EG, 5) 2-step EG plus DMSO and 6) 4-step EG plus DMSO. Non-CPA treated, non-vitrified oocytes served as controls. The oocytes were then submitted either to in vitro maturation (Experiment 1, n = 334) or to vitrification/warming (Experiment 2, n = 440). The stage of nuclear maturation was subsequently determined. In Experiment 3, the vitrified immature oocytes (n = 254) were matured and fertilized in vitro, and their developmental competence was assessed. A total of 424 embryos derived from vitrified immature oocytes were transferred into the oviduct of 6 recipient queens (Experiment 4).Vitrification reduced significantly the meiotic and developmental competence of immature cat oocytes compared with the non-vitrified controls. The EG alone or a combination of EG and DMSO yielded higher maturation rates than DMSO, irrespective of the CPA equilibration techniques used. The 4-step EG vitrification resulted in the highest maturation rate (37.6%) but cleavage and blastocyst rates were significantly lower than the non-vitrified controls (24.8% and 30.2% vs 62.5% and 49.3%, respectively). Pregnancy was established in recipients receiving embryos derived from non-vitrified and vitrified/warmed immature oocytes. It is concluded that the stepwise CPA exposure technique can be successfully applied for vitrification of immature cat oocytes, in terms of in vitro development but it is likely to affect in utero development. 相似文献
