Active interfacial dynamic transport of fluid in a network of fibrous connective tissues throughout the whole body

Fluid in interstitial spaces accounts for ~20% of an adult body weight and flows diffusively for a short range. Does it circulate around the body like vascular circulations? This bold conjecture has been debated for decades. As a conventional physiological concept, interstitial space is a micron‐sized space between cells and vasculature. Fluid in interstitial spaces is thought to be entrapped within interstitial matrix. However, our serial data have further defined a second space in interstitium that is a nanosized interfacial transport zone on a solid surface. Within this fine space, fluid along a solid fibre can be transported under a driving power and identically, interstitial fluid transport can be visualized by tracking the oriented fibres. Since 2006, our data from volunteers and cadavers have revealed a long‐distance extravascular pathway for interstitial fluid flow, comprising at least four types of anatomic distributions. The framework of each extravascular pathway contains the longitudinally assembled and oriented fibres, working as a fibrorail for fluid flow. Interestingly, our data showed that the movement of fluid in a fibrous pathway is in response to a dynamic driving source and named as dynamotaxis. By analysis of previous studies and our experimental results, a hypothesis of interstitial fluid circulatory system is proposed.     

黑老虎叶总黄酮提取工艺及其抗氧化活性研究

为探讨超声波辅助提取黑老虎叶总黄酮的最佳提取工艺条件及其抗氧化活性,该文以黑老虎叶为研究对象,采用超声波提取法提取黑老虎叶总黄酮,通过单因素试验研究提取时间、乙醇浓度、提取温度、料液比对黑老虎叶总黄酮提取率的影响,在单因素试验的基础上,采用正交试验优化其提取工艺条件,测试了最优条件下提取的黑老虎叶总黄酮对DPPH自由基、·OH自由基及超氧阴离子的清除能力。结果表明:黑老虎叶总黄酮超声辅助提取最佳提取条件为提取时间 35 min、乙醇浓度80%、提取温度50 ℃、料液比1:20 g·mL^-1,最佳条件下提取率为4.83%。抗氧化活性测试结果显示,黑老虎叶总黄酮表现出较好的清除DPPH自由基、·OH自由基及超氧阴离子能力,其抗氧化能力为清除DPPH自由基能力>清除超氧阴离子能力>清除·OH自由基能力。在浓度为0.8 mg·mL^-1时,黑老虎叶总黄酮清除DPPH自由基、·OH自由基及超氧阴离子的能力相当于同浓度下Vc的97.6%、82.1%、95.5%,黑老虎叶总黄酮是天然抗氧化剂的良好来源。上述结果为黑老虎叶活性成分的提取及开发利用提供了理论基础。     

内生细菌对盐胁迫下小麦幼苗脯氨酸和丙二醛的影响

以周麦18为试验材料,以内生菌252和254为供试菌株,试验采用盆栽法设置盐胁迫组、盐胁迫接菌组和对照组,研究不同盐浓度胁迫下接菌处理对小麦幼苗脯氨酸(Pro,proline)和丙二醛(MDA,malondialdehyde)含量的影响。结果表明:小麦幼苗在盐胁迫环境下,随着培养时间和盐浓度增加,盐胁迫组Pro含量先升后降。在前中期,盐胁迫组小麦Pro含量逐渐积累,提高了小麦抗逆性;在后期Pro含量较中期有一定程度下降,小麦逐渐对盐环境产生适应性。随着盐浓度升高,盐胁迫组小麦在不同培养阶段对盐环境的抵抗能力不同,每个时期对盐抵抗能力有一阈值,超过此盐浓度Pro含量下降,抵抗能力减弱。接菌处理后,小麦Pro含量升高,提高了抗盐胁迫能力,第14天时修复效果最明显,接菌252处理组和254处理组分别在盐浓度为200 mmol/L和250 mmol/L时高出盐胁迫组133.48%和91.48%。盐胁迫组MDA含量随时间延长先降后升,与Pro含量变化趋势相反。在前中期,盐胁迫组小麦膜质过氧化程度不高,对小麦正常代谢活动尚未造成严重影响,在后期MDA含量升高,盐胁迫组小麦逐渐枯萎。接菌后,降低了幼苗细胞膜脂化程度,提高了小麦存活率,促进幼苗生长,MDA含量在21 d时均低于盐胁迫组,修复效果显著。
