Epidemiological study on strongyloidiasis in humans is currently lacking in Malaysia. Thus, a cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis infection among the inhabitants of longhouse indigenous communities in Sarawak. A single stool and blood sample were collected from each participant and subjected to microscopy, serological and molecular techniques. Five species of intestinal parasites were identified by stool microscopy. None of the stool samples were positive for S. stercoralis. However, 11% of 236 serum samples were seropositive for strongyloidiasis. Further confirmation using molecular technique on stool samples of the seropositive individuals successfully amplified 5 samples, suggesting current active infections. The prevalence was significantly higher in adult males and tended to increase with age. S. stercoralis should no longer be neglected in any intestinal parasitic survey. Combination of more than 1 diagnostic technique is necessary to increase the likelihood of estimating the ‘true’ prevalence of S. stercoralis. 相似文献

A comparative evaluation of five different cell-disruption methods for the release of recombinant hepatitis B core antigen
(HBcAg) from Escherichia coli was investigated. The cell disruption techniques evaluated in this study were high-pressure homogenization, batch-mode bead
milling, continuous-recycling bead milling, ultrasonication, and enzymatic lysis. Continuous-recycling bead milling was found
to be the most effective method in terms of operating cost and time. However, the highest degree of cell disruption and amounts
of HBcAg were obtained from the high-pressure homogenization process. The direct purification of HBcAg from the unclarified
cell disruptate derived from high-pressure homogenization and bead milling techniques, using batch anion-exchange adsorption
methods, showed that the conditions of cell disruption have a substantial effect on subsequent protein recovery steps. 相似文献

Background
Histamine is the prototypical pruritogen used in experimental itch induction. However, in most chronic pruritic diseases, itch is not predominantly mediated by histamine. Cowhage-induced itch, on the other hand, seems more characteristic of itch occurring in chronic pruritic diseases.Objectives
We tested the validity of cowhage as an itch-inducing agent by contrasting it with the classical itch inducer, histamine, in healthy subjects and atopic dermatitis (AD) patients. We also investigated whether there was a cumulative effect when both agents were combined.Methods
Fifteen healthy individuals and fifteen AD patients were recruited. Experimental itch induction was performed in eczema-free areas on the volar aspects of the forearm, using different itch inducers: histamine, cowhage and their combination thereof. Itch intensity was assessed continuously for 5.5 minutes after stimulus application using a computer-assisted visual analogue scale (COVAS).Results
In both healthy and AD subjects, the mean and peak intensity of itch were higher after the application of cowhage compared to histamine, and were higher after the combined application of cowhage and histamine, compared to histamine alone (p<0.0001 in all cases). Itch intensity ratings were not significantly different between healthy and AD subjects for the same itch inducer used; however AD subjects exhibited a prolonged itch response in comparison to healthy subjects ( p<0.001).Conclusions
Cowhage induced a more intense itch sensation compared to histamine. Cowhage was the dominant factor in itch perception when both pathways were stimulated in the same time. Cowhage-induced itch is a suitable model for the study of itch in AD and other chronic pruritic diseases, and it can serve as a new model for testing antipruritic drugs in humans. 相似文献6.

In this paper, we investigated the development of a simplified and rapid primary capture step for the recovery of M13 bacteriophage from particulate-containing feedstock. M13 bacteriophage, carrying an insert, was propagated and subsequently purified by the application of both conventional multiple steps and expanded bed anion exchange chromatography. In the conventional method, precipitation was conducted with PEG/NaCl, and centrifugation was also performed. In the single step expanded bed anion exchange adsorption, UpFront FastLine 20 (20 mm i.d.) from UpFront Chromatography was used as the contactor, while 54 ml (Ho = 15 cm) of STREAMLINE DEAE (rho = 1.2 g/cm3) from Amersham Pharmacia Biotechnology was used as the anion exchanger. The performance of the two methods were evaluated, analysed, and compared. It was demonstrated that the purification of the M13 bacteriophage, using expanded bed anion exchange adsorption, yielded the higher recovery percentage, at 82.86%. The conventional multiple step method yielded the lower recovery percentage, 36.07%. The generic application of this integrated technique has also been assessed. 相似文献

The chemical composition of surface waters of two Dutch moorland pools and of incident precipitation, was monitored from 1982
to 1990. For this period, sulfur and water budgets were calculated using a hydrochemical model developed for well-mixed non-stratifying
lakes. Total atmospheric deposition of S decreased significantly after 1986 at both locations. A model describing the sulfur
budget in terms of input, output and reduction/oxidation processes predicted a fast decrease of pool water SO4
2− concentrations after a decrease of atmospheric input. However, SO4
2− concentrations in the surface water was lowered only slightly or remained constant. Apparently a source within the lake caused
the unexpectedly high SO4
2− concentrations. The possible supply of SO4
2− from the sediment through regulation by (K-)Al-SO4 containing minerals or desorption of SO4
2− from positively charged surfaces in the sediment was evaluated. Solubility calculations of pore water with respect to alunite,
basaluminite and jurbanite indicated that SO4
2− concentration was not regulated by these minerals. It is suggested here (1) that desorption of SO4
2− from peaty sediments may account for the estimated SO4
2− supply provided that the adsorption complex is periodically recharged by partial oxidation of the upper bottom sediments
and (2) that because of exposure of a part of the pool bottom to the atmosphere during dry summers and subsequent oxidation
of reduced S, the amount of SO4
2− may be provided which complements the decreasing depositional SO4
2− input. In future research these two mechanisms need to be investigated. 相似文献

In this progress report, recent improvements to the room temperaturesyntheses of lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (APbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) are assessed, focusing on various aspects which influence the commercial viability of the technology. Perovskite nanocrystals can be prepared easily from low‐cost precursors under ambient conditions, yet they have displayed near‐unity photoluminescence quantum yield with narrow, highly tunable emission peaks. In addition to their impressive ambipolar charge carrier mobilities, these properties make lead halide perovskite nanocrystals very attractive for light‐emitting diode (LED) applications. However, there are still many practical hurdles preventing commercialization. Recent developments in room temperature synthesis and purification protocols are reviewed, closely evaluating the suitability of particular techniques for industry. This is followed by an assessment of the wide range of ligands deployed on perovskite nanocrystal surfaces, analyzing their impact on colloidal stability, as well as LED efficiency. Based on these observations, a perspective on important future research directions that can expedite the industrial adoption of perovskite nanocrystals is provided. 相似文献

Rice bran lipase (RBL) was delipidated to enhance its stability in organic solvent and its esterification activity at elevated
temperature. The esterification activity of delipidated RBL increased as temperature was increased from 45 to 65°C. The esterification
activity of delipidated RBL at 65°C was about 14 times greater than that of the non-delipidated RBL. As temperature was further
increased to 75°C, the non-delipidated RBL lost all esterification activity, whereas the delipidated RBL retained approximately
48% of its esterilication activity. The delipidated RBL maintained a relative esterification activity greater than 80% after
16 h of incubation in hexane, whereas the non-delipidated RBL maintained a relative esterification activity of only 50%. A
method for production of acylglycerol using delipidated RBL to esterify palm oil fatty acid distillate (PFAD) with glycerol
in hexane was successfully developed. The effects of reaction temperatures and type of water removal agents (silica gel and
molecular sieve) on the degree of esterification were also examined. A 4 h reaction at 65°C, catalyzed by delipidated RBL
and using silica gel as the water removal agent resulted in 53.8% esterification. Thin layer chromatography analysis suggested
that the esterified product was primarily comprised of mono-and di-acylglycerols. 相似文献

While there is currently intense effort to examine the 13C signal of CO2 evolved in the dark, less is known on the isotope composition of day‐respired CO2. This lack of knowledge stems from technical difficulties to measure the pure respiratory isotopic signal: day respiration is mixed up with photorespiration, and there is no obvious way to separate photosynthetic fractionation (pure ci/ca effect) from respiratory effect (production of CO2 with a different δ13C value from that of net‐fixed CO2) at the ecosystem level. Here, we took advantage of new simple equations, and applied them to sunflower canopies grown under low and high [CO2]. We show that whole mesocosm‐respired CO2 is slightly 13C depleted in the light at the mesocosm level (by 0.2–0.8‰), while it is slightly 13C enriched in darkness (by 1.5–3.2‰). The turnover of the respiratory carbon pool after labelling appears similar in the light and in the dark, and accordingly, a hierarchical clustering analysis shows a close correlation between the 13C abundance in day‐ and night‐evolved CO2. We conclude that the carbon source for respiration is similar in the dark and in the light, but the metabolic pathways associated with CO2 production may change, thereby explaining the different 12C/13C respiratory fractionations in the light and in the dark. 相似文献
