改性玉米芯制备太阳能界面蒸发体及其性能分析

针对天然生物质材料应用于海水淡化领域,蒸发效率较低、材料容易降解等问题,采用多巴胺对天然玉米芯进行改性处理,以改性玉米芯为基底,在其表面包覆炭黑-纤维素薄膜,制备了一种集光热转换、输水、隔热于一体的太阳能界面蒸发体。对改性玉米芯蒸发体的光学吸收性能、输水性能、接触角进行表征,并搭建了室内蒸发试验和户外蒸发试验系统,测试了改性玉米芯的蒸发性能,与天然玉米芯相比,改性玉米芯蒸发体的蒸发速率相对未改性的提升了约10.4%。对改性玉米芯蒸发体进行了30次循环试验,蒸发体均保持稳定的蒸发速率,整个循环测试中蒸发速率波动不超过1%。并且,长期工作后,蒸发体表面没有盐分沉积,没有出现材料软化、降解现象。改性玉米芯蒸发体在海水环境中能够保持良好、稳定的蒸发性能,且能够有效降低海水中的Na⁺、K⁺、Mg²⁺、Ca²⁺等离子浓度,达到世界卫生组织所规定的饮用标准中的相应限值。改性玉米芯蒸发体的制备方法简单、成本低廉、蒸发性能稳定,为扩展生物质材料在海水淡化领域的应用提供了有效途径。

饮水中添加乳酸对三黄鸡生长性能和抗病力的影响

目的研究饮水中添加乳酸对三黄鸡的生长性能和抗病力的影响。方法选取1日龄三黄鸡5 000羽,随机分为5组,1 000只/组。在饮水中加入乳酸调节饮水pH值,使得A组、B组、C组和D组的饮水pH值分别为2.0、3.0、4.0和5.0,每天试验鸡饮用酸化水4 h,对照组为正常饮水组。测定各组试验鸡体重和采食量,并记录每日病死数,计算平均日增重、饲料转化率和病死率。结果①平均日增重：1~35日龄段,C组试验鸡的平均日增重提高最明显,提高3.33%。36日龄后,仅B组和对照组相同水平,其他组均降低。②采食量和饲料转化率：B组、C组与对照组相比差异显著（P<0.05）,A组、D组差异不显著（P>0.05）。③病死率：A组、B组、C组、D组比对照组病死率分别减少3.7%、4.2%、4.7%和2.1%。结论在三黄鸡的饲养试验中,乳酸调节饮水pH值为4.0时能有效提高饲料转化率,明显提高1~35日龄段三黄鸡的平均日增重,明显降低三黄鸡的病死率,对于肉鸡促进生长和抗病力具有良好的应用前景。     

Effect of diet with high fats and cholesterol on PPARα gene expression and body cholesterol level in mice

AIM:To investigate the effects of dietary fats and cholesterol on liver PPARα gene expression and body cholesterol (Chol) level in C57BL/6J mice. METHODS:The animals (n=75) were randomly divided into five groups and respectively received formula mash for 6 weeks. RESULTS:As compared to Chol diet, Chol+PUFA diet produced significantly higher liver cholesterol (P<0.01), serum total cholesterol (TC), focusing on HDL-C. While Chol+MUFA diet resulted in unchanged serum TC and lower liver cholesterol (P<0.01). Chol+SFA diet rsulted in higher liver cholesterol (P<0.01) and serum TC, focusing on LDL-C. Furthermore, Chol+PUFA diet increased the mRNA and protein content of PPARα (P<0.01) in liver, while Chol+MUFA and Chol+SFA diets decreased the mRNA content of PPARα significantly (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:These results indicated that addition of fats containing PUFA to diet high in cholesterol increased PPARα mRNA and protein expression, addition of fats containing MUFA or SFA to diet high in cholesterol decreased PPARα mRNA expression. The change of PPARα gene expression may further affect body cholesterol level.     

Effect of chronic intermittent hypoxia on AMPK pathway in young rats

AIM: To investigate the effect of chronic intermittent hypoxia on AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK) pathway in the brain of young rats. METHODS: Part one: SD mice(3~4 weeks old) were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=8): simulated air control group for 2 weeks(2AC), chronic intermittent hypoxia group for 2 weeks(2IH), simulated air control group for 4 weeks(4AC) and chronic intermittent hypoxia group for 4 weeks(4IH). Part two: SD mice(3~4 weeks old) were randomly divided into 2 groups(n=8): chronic intermittent hypoxia group for 4 weeks(4IH) and chronic intermittent hypoxia group treated with AMPK inhibitor for 4 weeks(4IHI). After modeling, the eight-arm maze test was performed. TUNEL method was used to detect the neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampal and prefrontal cortical tissues. The mRNA expression of adenosine A2a receptor was examined by RT-qPCR, and the protein levels of phosphorylated AMPK(p-AMPK) and mammalian target of rapamycin(p-mTOR) were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the numbers of reference memory error(RME), working memory error(WME) and total error(TE) in 2IH group and 4IH group significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with 2IH group, the numbers of errors in 4IH group also increased significantly(P<0.01). Compared with 4IH group, the values in 4IHI group significantly decreased. Compared with control group, the neuronal apoptosis of hippocampus and prefrontal cortex in 2IH group and 4IH group increased, and that in 4IH group was more evident(P<0.05). In 4IHI group, the neuronal apoptosis decreased. The mRNA expression of adenosine A2a receptor in the hippocampal and cortical tissues in 2IH group and 4IH group was higher than that in control group. The protein level of p-AMPK was higher, and p-mTOR was lower in 2IH group and 4IH group, and those in 4IH group were more evident(P<0.05). Compared with 4IH group, the protein level of p-AMPK was lower, and p-mTOR was higher in 4IHI group. CONCLUSION: Chronic intermittent hypoxia induces neuronal apoptosis, resulting in impairment of learning and memory in a time-dependent manner by upregulating adenosine A2a receptor, activating AMPK activity, and inhibiting mTOR phosphorylation in rats.
