Antioxidant,anti-amylase and anti-glycation potential of brans of some Sri Lankan traditional and improved rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties

Brans of 23 traditional and 12 improved (both red and white) rice varieties in Sri Lanka were screened for anti-amylase and anti-glycation activities in vitro. Varieties which showed the highest inhibitory activities at screening were further investigated for anti-glucosidase and glycation reversing as anti-diabetic properties. The same varieties were studied for selected antioxidant properties. Significantly high anti-amylase and anti-glycation activities were observed for bran extracts of red varieties compared to white varieties at screening. Traditional red rice varieties, Masuran, Sudu Heeneti, Dik Wee and Goda Heeneti, exhibited significant and dose dependent anti-amylase, anti-glycation and glycation reversing activities. These varieties also showed marked antioxidant properties. It is concluded that brans of Sri Lankan traditional red rice varieties Masuran, Sudu Heeneti, Dik Wee and Goda Heeneti may be potential food supplements for diabetes.     

DPPH radical scavenging activity of two flavonol glycosides from Aconitum napellus sp. lusitanicum

The DPPH radical scavenging activity of two flavonol glycosides obtained from ethanolic extracts of Aconitum napellus sp. lusitanicum was studied. The results showed a high DPPH antiradical activity of compound 1 (quercetin 3-O-(6-trans-caffeoyl)-beta-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-glucopyranosyl-7-O-alpha-rhamnopyranoside) when compared with compound 2 (quercetin-3-sophoroside-7-rhamnopyranoside), rutin and ascorbic acid. The relationship between the caffeoyl and rhamnopyranoside groups in the flavonol glycosides structures and the DPPH antiradical activity was also discussed.     

Antioxidant activity of Cassia auriculata flowers

The ethanol and methanol extracts of Cassia auriculata flowers were screened for antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity was determined by an improved assay based on the decolorization of the radical monocation of 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method. The ethanol and methanol extracts of C. auriculata flowers showed antioxidant activity in both assays.     

河北省谷田杂草综合防控技术研究

春播谷田杂草发生有3个峰期,夏播谷田杂草发生仅1个峰期。综合防控技术方案为：44%单嘧.扑灭WP的最佳剂量为1 800 g/hm2,播后苗前进行土壤处理;整地要平整、紧实;土壤含水量要求达到15%;药后不喷灌,或避开有中到大雨的天气用药。这样药效持续期在45 d以上,能有效控制谷田杂草危害,确保谷子安全生长。     

柚皮黄酮化合物抑制LDL氧化及清除自由基的作用

探讨了柚皮黄酮化合物的抗氧化作用。利用从柚皮中分离的3种黄酮单体(P11、P12、P2),采用化学比色法,在体外对人LDL的氧化抑制和对DPPH自由基清除作用做了研究。3种黄酮单体的LDL氧化反应潜伏期大小次序为:P2>BHT>P12≈P11>Control,对DPPH自由基的氧化抑制率分别为:P2=52.5%,P11=37.8%,P12=39.0%,BHT=42.6%。结果表明,3种黄酮单体P11、P12、P2对LDL氧化修饰具有抑制作用,对DPPH自由基具有清除作用。     

W/O微乳液体系中SA和MS清除·O_2~-的研究

以水溶液体系作为对照,利用分光光度法研究了W/O型微乳液体系中水杨酸（SA）和水杨酸甲酯（MS）清除超氧阴离子自由基（·O2-）的性能.结果发现,在水浴时间为20min、pH值为8.20和邻苯三酚加入量适宜的情况下,W/O微乳液体系中SA、MS对·O2-的清除率分别可达72.92%、81.47%.微小的pH值变化会引起邻苯三酚自氧化速率的显著变化,电解质溶液对其也有明显的影响,但对SA、MS清除·O2-的能力影响不大.     

家蚕品种飞·鹤×祥·云原原种主要性状的统计分析

为了掌握家蚕品种飞.鹤×祥.云原原种长期繁育过程中存在的种性退化现象,采用数据分析软件检测其2003-2010年间主要性状的变异性和相关性。结果表明:4个原种的全茧量、茧层量、茧层率、幼虫生命率的变化均较小,死笼率的变化范围较大,基本保持了该品种的优良种性。     

Three new homoisoflavanones from the bulbs of Ledebouria floribunda

Three new homoisoflavanones, namely ledebourin A (1), ledebourin B (2) and ledebourin C (3) were isolated from the bulbs of Ledebouria floribunda. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of detail spectroscopic analyses. This is the first report of this type of homoisoflavanones. Ledebourin B (2) and ledebourin C (3) exhibited potent antioxidant activity in the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging compared to the positive controls, the well-known antioxidant BHT and BHA.     

家蚕新品种泰·丰、晓·晖的育成

采用杂交育种的方法，在春、夏、秋不同环境条件下，经严格的后代选择，育成抗逆性强．老熟、眠起齐一的中系蚕品种泰、丰和日系蚕品种晚、晖，其组配成四元杂交种菜·丰×晓·晖，经过多次实验室和农村生产鉴定表明，该四元杂交种产茧量比对照种菁松×皓月提高6％，产值提高6％～9％，茧丝长1400m，解舒率77％，净度95分，同时具有制种容易的特点，是一个优良的蚕品种。     

应用典型样本对损毁土地进行大尺度调查

在全国土地复垦潜力调查研究工作开展的背景下,以内蒙古自治区煤炭生产建设项目损毁土地为例,探索合理、科学的一定区域范围内大尺度要求下损毁土地面积的推算。采用实地调研法和典型样本分析法,在研究中提出"万吨煤土地损毁系数",并以该参数推算全区损毁土地面积。研究结果:全区范围内露天煤矿、井工煤矿万吨煤土地损毁系数分别为0.26、0.25 hm2.104t-1。该推算方法是政策尺度下所采用的,可以作为本次土地复垦潜力调查的参考数据;若要得到更为准确的数据为土地复垦潜力调查分析评价服务,必须在将来认真组织开展全国范围内损毁土地详查工作。
