常温真空包装对保持小米储藏品质的影响

为了探究一种有效的小米储藏方法,以晋谷42号小米为试材,采用0.08 mm厚尼龙(polyamide,PA)复合聚乙烯(polyethylene,PE)袋包装,常温((20±2)℃)环境中储藏,研究小米在常规、常规密闭和真空包装储藏120 d品质指标的变化规律。结果表明:相对于常规包装,真空包装储藏有效降低脂肪氧合酶的活性(P<0.05),延缓小米脂质的氧化分解(P<0.05),抑制小米游离脂肪酸含量的升高(P<0.05),较好地保持了小米的水分(P<0.05),延缓了小米黄色素的损耗(P<0.05),较好地保持了小米的亮度(P<0.05)、米黄色(P<0.05)以及弹性(P<0.05)和黏附性(P<0.05);常规密闭包装具有一定的储藏效果,但不及真空包装。因此,常温下真空包装储藏可以有效延缓小米的陈化,保持小米的储藏品质。研究结果为小米储藏,提升小米储藏品质提供了理论依据和技术支持。     

Diverse Secondary Metabolites from the Coral-Derived Fungus Aspergillus hiratsukae SCSIO 5Bn1003

Three new metabolites, including a cyclic tetrapeptide asperhiratide (1), an ecdysteroid derivative asperhiratine (2), and a sesquiterpene lactone asperhiratone (3), were isolated and identified from the soft coral-derived fungus Aspergillus hiratsukae SCSIO 5Bn₁003, together with 10 known compounds. Their structures were elucidated via spectroscopic analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, and electronic circular dichroism calculations. In addition, the absolute configuration of 1 was determined by Marfey’s technique and an analysis of the acid hydrolysates using a chiral phase HPLC column. Among all the compounds, 6 and 8 showed medium cytotoxic activities against four tumor cell lines (SF-268, HepG-2, MCF-7, and A549), with IC₅₀ values ranging from 31.03 ± 3.04 to 50.25 ± 0.54 µM. Meanwhile, they strongly inhibited α-glucosidase activities, with IC₅₀ values of 35.73 ± 3.94 and 22.00 ± 2.45 µM, which were close to and even stronger than the positive control acarbose (IC₅₀ = 32.92 ± 1.03 µM). Compounds 6–8 showed significant antibacterial activities against Bacillus subtilis, with MIC values of 10.26 ± 0.76 µM, 17.00 ± 1.25 µM, and 5.30 ± 0.29 µM, respectively. Compounds 9 and 12 exhibited potent radical scavenging activities against DPPH, with IC₅₀ values of 12.23 ± 0.78 µM and 7.38 ± 1.16 µM. In addition, asperhiratide (1) was evaluated for anti-angiogenic activities in the in vivo zebrafish model, which showed a weak inhibitory effect on intersegmental vessel (ISV) formation.

Enhancement of the insulin antagonistic effect of porcine somatotropin in swine using a monoclonal antibody

A monoclonal antibody (mAb), PS-7.6, to porcine somatotropin (pST) significantly enhanced the growth responses to pST injections in hypophysectomized (hypox) rats but could not be tested in pigs because of the large quantity of antibody required for a growth trial. Because pST inhibits the hypoglycemic effects of insulin, an insulin tolerance test procedure was established to measure pST activity in jugular-catheterized pigs. Doses of 0, 30, 100, and 300 μg/kg per day of pST were split and administered subcutaneously (sc) in equal portions twice daily for 2 d. After a 17-hr fast, plasma samples were obtained at 10-min intervals for 30 min before an intravenous injection of insulin (0.08 IU/kg) and then for an additional 50 min. Because pST increased fasting plasma glucose concentrations, preinsulin glucose values were used as a covariate to adjust the postinsulin concentrations. pST caused a dose-dependent increase in resistance to the insulin injection in these pigs. The areas under the curves (AUC) for plasma glucose were 22.l, 29.0, 39.0, and 47.2 mg/dl per min for the 0, 30, 100, and 300 μg/kg pST doses, respectively. Because different doses of pST could be detected, the PS-7.6 enhancement of pST treatment was evaluated. In the first experiment, five pigs/group each received sc injections of either vehicle, pST (75 μg/kg; 3.0 mg/d), pST (75 μg/kg) + PS-7.6 at 3.75 mg/kg, or pST (75 μg/kg) + PS-7.6 at 15 mg/kg for 2 d before the insulin test. The pST and PS-7.6 were combined and incubated for at least 1 hr at room temperature before being injected. The injection of pST alone did not significantly change insulin tolerance activity (23.1 vs. 21.1, AUC, but insulin resistance was enhanced when this dose of pST also included PS-7.6 (27.4 and 29.5, AUC, respectively; P < 0.05). In a second experiment, the effects of PS-7.6 and PS-4.2, a mAb that did not potentiate the pST-stimulated growth of hypox rats, were compared. The five pigs/treatment received either vehicle, pST (75 μg/kg), pST (75 μg/kg) + PS-7.6 (3.75 mg/kg), or pST (75 μg/kg) + PS-4.2 (3.75 mg/kg) for 2 d. The administration of pST increased the resistance to insulin (26.7 vs. 18.8, AUC; P < 0.01), which was markedly potentiated by PS-7.6 (54.3, AUC, P < 0.001) but not affected by PS-4.2 (27.6 AUC. The injection of PS-7.6 at 7.5 mg/kg without exogenous pST did not alter the sensitivity to insulin. These results indicate that PS-7.6, but not PS-4.2, enhanced the insulin antagonistic activity of pST in swine, suggesting that an enhancement of pST-stimulated growth would also occur in PS-7.6-treated pigs.

Supplementation of laying-hen feed with palm tocos and algae astaxanthin for egg yolk nutrient enrichment

Adding supplements to hen feed can increase egg nutritional value. Astaxanthin, tocotrienols, and tocopherols are potent antioxidants that provide health benefits to humans. We hypothesized that the addition of these nutrients to hen feed would result in an increased nutrient content in egg yolk with minimum changes in functional properties. Laying hens (Hy-Line W-36 breed) were fed four diets with different supplementation levels of palm toco concentrate and algae biomass containing astaxanthin for 8 weeks. Egg yolks were analyzed for physical, chemical, and functional properties. The feed with the highest nutrient concentration was also studied for stability of these antioxidants using the Arrhenius approach. No significant differences were observed in functional properties except for emulsification capacity and sensory characteristics among eggs from different diet treatments. Changes in egg yolk color reached the maximum values at day 8. Incorporation of tocopherols and tocotrienols increased until day 8, astaxanthin incorporation increased until day 10, and all decreased thereafter. Feed nutrients resulted in a dose-response relationship of these compounds in the egg yolk. The transfer efficiency ranged from 0 to 9.9% for tocotrienols and tocopherols and from 7.6 to 14.9% for astaxanthin at their peak values. Results of the Arrhenius accelerated stability study showed significant differences in the shelf life of various nutrients, and these results can be used to properly formulate and store the feed materials.     

Distribution and function of allantoin (5-ureidohydantoin) in rice grains

Despite increasing knowledge of allantoin as a phytochemical involved in rice, relatively little is known about its distribution and function in rice grains. In this study, allantoin was quantified in 15 Chinese rice grains, and its contents varied with grain fraction, cultivar, and genotype. Bran always had the highest allantoin level, followed by brown rice and milled rice. Hull contained the lowest allantoin content. Allantoin in japonica bran ranged from 70 to 171 μg/g but rarely exceeded 100 μg/g in indica bran. There was a positive relationship between allantoin level in grains and seedling survival in seedbeds under low temperature or water deficit. Exogenous allantoin stimulated plant growth, increased soluble sugar and free proline contents, and decreased malondialdehyde content in rice seedlings. However, allantoin did not show any antioxidant activity through free radical-scavenging capacity, reducing power, linoleic acid peroxidation inhibition, and chelating activity. The results suggest that allantoin in rice grains may play some roles in providing plant stress protection but not serving as a beneficial health antioxidant.     

家蚕3-羟酰辅酶A脱氢酶基因全长cDNA克隆及其在质型多角体病毒感染家蚕的差异表达

家蚕质型多角体病毒（Bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus,BmCPV）是家蚕的重要病毒病原之一,往往给养蚕业生产造成极大危害。我们以前的研究运用基因芯片技术在感染质型多角体病毒的家蚕中肠中鉴定出一个差异表达的3-羟酰辅酶A脱氢酶蛋白基因（Bombyx mori3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehyrogenase protein gene-Bm3HAD）。本研究利用cDNA末端快速扩增技术（RACE）克隆了该基因,其全长cDNA序列为1168bp,包含一个83bp5＇端非翻译区序列（5＇-UTR）、一个930bp的开放阅读框（ORF）和一个155bp的3＇端非翻译区序列（3＇-UTR）;基因结构分析发现该基因由5个外显子和4个内含子组成。RT-PCR结果显示该基因在家蚕中肠、脂肪体、血液、丝腺及生殖体中均有表达。荧光定量PCR结果表明该基因在BmCPV感染初期为上调表达,随着病毒感染的进展,该基因的表达水平逐渐降低,并转变为下调表达。研究结果为进一步研究BmCPV对家蚕致病的分子机制提供了有益的信息。
