生物柴油Fe_2(SO_4)_3—Al_2O_3固体酸催化剂的制备

为了解决硫酸铁催化制备生物柴油过程中存在的回收难和部分溶于水等问题,制备了Fe2(SO4)3—Al2O3负载型固体酸催化剂。考察了负载量、焙烤温度、焙烤时间对催化剂活性的影响。结果表明,负载量20%的催化剂在300℃下,焙烤超过4h,活性最高,延长焙烤时间对催化剂活性没有显著影响。对不同焙烤温度下的催化剂进行了扫描电镜、能谱和X射线衍射分析,结果显示300℃下,焙烤的催化剂具有最小的晶粒;超过300℃,催化剂上的Fe2(SO4)3组分开始分解。     

卵巢表皮上皮的生物学特性及其细胞培养

将近90%以上的恶性卵巢癌发生于覆盖在卵巢表面的单层上皮细胞——卵巢表皮上皮(ovarian surface epithelium,OSE),将其称之为卵巢表皮癌。由于先前研究人员未找到合适的动物模型,卵巢表皮上皮细胞的培养方法在近期才得以确立。作者旨在于总结卵巢表皮上皮的生物学特性及其细胞培养方法和不同物种间卵巢表皮上皮特性的变化。     

Successful drug development despite adverse preclinical findings part 1: processes to address issues and most important findings

Unexpected adverse preclinical findings (APFs) are not infrequently encountered during drug development. Such APFs can be functional disturbances such as QT prolongation, morphological toxicity or carcinogenicity. The latter is of particular concern in conjunction with equivocal genotoxicity results. The toxicologic pathologist plays an important role in recognizing these effects, in helping to characterize them, to evaluate their risk for man, and in proposing measures to mitigate the risk particularly in early clinical trials. A careful scientific evaluation is crucial while termination of the development of a potentially useful drug must be avoided. This first part of the review discusses processes to address unexpected APFs and provides an overview over typical APFs in particular classes of drugs. If the mode of action (MoA) by which a drug candidate produces an APF is known, this supports evaluation of its relevance for humans. Tailor-made mechanistic studies, when needed, must be planned carefully to test one or several hypotheses regarding the potential MoA and to provide further data for risk evaluation. Safety considerations are based on exposure at no-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOAEL) of the most sensitive and relevant animal species and guide dose escalation in clinical trials. The availability of early markers of toxicity for monitoring of humans adds further safety to clinical studies. Risk evaluation is concluded by a weight of evidence analysis (WoE) with an array of parameters including drug use, medical need and alternatives on the market. In the second part of this review relevant examples of APFs will be discussed in more detail.     

Distribution,quantitative load and characterization of Salmonella associated with swine farms in upper-northern Thailand

This study was conducted to analyze the prevalence and quantitative loads of Salmonella spp. on pig farms in Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Thailand to assess loading levels before slaughtering. The serotype diversity, antimicrobial-resistance pattern and pulse-field type of Salmonella spp. were also characterized to assess the dynamic propagation of the pathogen. The Salmonella-positive prevalence was 246/805 (30.56%), and the quantitative loads varied from 1.48~4.04 Log₁₀MPN/g, with a mean ± standard deviation of 2.11 ± 0.57. AMP/S/TE (ampicillin/streptomycin/tetracycline) was the highest frequency antimicrobial resistance pattern found in this study. In addition, Salmonella Rissen was the primary serotype in this region. PFGE results indicated the occurrence of infection by cross contamination among pig farms. Our study showed that pork is easily contaminated with this pathogen. Farm control programs must be based on strict biosecurity and hygienic measures, which could further reduce the contamination pressure at slaughterhouses or retail shops.     

亚洲1型口蹄疫病毒L蛋白缺失株的构建及其生物学定性

为确定口蹄疫病毒(FMDV)L蛋白缺失对其生物学特性的影响,本研究在已建立的Asia1型FMDV反向遗传操作平台基础上,利用融合PCR方法缺失L蛋白基因编码区,构建了缺失L蛋白的重组Asia1型FMDV(rFMDV-ΔL)。拯救病毒的一步生长曲线结果表明,rFMDV-ΔL与亲本病毒相比在BHK-21细胞中的复制水平下降10倍,乳鼠毒力试验表明rFMDV-ΔL的毒力比亲本毒株下降6倍。另外,rFMDV-ΔL在BHK-21细胞上产生病变的速度明显变慢,形成蚀斑的时间延长,致乳鼠死亡所需时间也比亲本毒株明显延长。本研究是关于亚洲1型FMDVL蛋白结构与功能研究的首次报道,为亚洲1型FMDVL蛋白结构与功能的研究奠定了基础。     

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 from extensive cattle of the fighting bulls breed

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 represents a major public health concern worldwide, with cattle recognized as their main natural reservoir. The aim of this work was to determine the prevalence and the pheno-genotypic characteristics of STEC O157:H7 in a herd with 268 cattle of the fighting bulls breed (De Lidia breed) managed under extensive conditions in the South-West of Spain. Rectal-anal swabs of all animals were collected and examined for STEC O157:H7 by performing an immunomagnetic concentration and separation procedure combined with PCR, and the resulting isolates were characterized by both phenotypic and genotypic methods. Overall, STEC O157:H7 was isolated from seven animals (2.6%) in the herd. The PCR procedure indicated that all seven isolates displayed stx₂, eae-γ1, ehxA, O157 rfbE, and fliCh7 genes. They belonged to phage types 4 (one isolate) and 42 (two isolates), and four isolates reacted with typing phages but did not conform to a recognized pattern. Among the seven isolates there were five indistinguishable PFGE patterns and other two which differed only in ?2 restriction fragments, supporting the existence of horizontal transmission among animals in the herd. The present study demonstrates that cattle managed under extensive conditions in Spain can excrete STEC O157:H7 with their faeces. To our knowledge this is the first isolation of this pathogen from De Lidia cattle.

解淀粉芽孢杆菌复合菌剂对玉米秸秆的降解作用及表征

为获得能提高秸秆饲草品质的微生物发酵菌剂,本研究在前期获得2株具有木质素和纤维素降解能力的解淀粉芽孢杆菌菌株的基础上,将两者混配成复合菌剂,考察复合菌剂对玉米秸秆的降解作用,并通过傅立叶红外光谱(FTIR)、核磁共振氢谱(¹H-NMR)、扫描电镜(SEM)及气质联用色谱(GC/MS)等技术对玉米秸秆的微观结构及降解产物进行表征。研究发现,复合菌剂可以有效降解玉米秸秆中的木质纤维素。在发酵24 d时,玉米秸秆中木质素、纤维素和半纤维素的降解率分别达到48.4%,30.5%和41.4%。FTIR和¹H-NMR谱图中能观察到木质纤维素分子结构中主要连接共价键,如木质素单体间的β-O-4和β-β键、木质素与碳水化合物连接键以及碳水化合物中糖环内的价键等明显断裂,木质纤维素被部分降解;SEM扫描电镜图则显示发酵后秸秆的组织结构出现松散和破坏。发酵后秸秆中小分子物质的GC/MS分析结果显示,其中包含苯丙胺和苯丙酸等保留苯丙烷结构单元的木质素单体衍生物以及苄醇和苯甲酸酯类等木质素单体被进一步降解后的芳香族化合物。玉米秸秆中碳水化合物的GC/MS分析结果表明:复合菌剂可将玉米秸秆中的结构性多糖等大分子碳水化合物降解成葡萄糖、木糖、甘露糖及乳糖等还原性单糖。并利用这些还原性单糖生长代谢,进一步产生乙二醇、丙三醇及短链脂肪酸类等代谢产物。以上研究结果表明,解淀粉芽孢杆菌复合菌剂可有效降解玉米秸秆中的木质纤维素,在玉米秸秆饲草化利用中极具应用前景。
