Effect of sodium nitrite and sodium chloride on growth of lactic acid bacteria.

The effect of NaNO2 and NaCl on the growth of 24 lactic acid bacteria strains isolated from vacuum-packed cooked ring sausages were examined by analyzing different growth parameters with Bioscreen. NaNO2 had a very limited effect on the growth of lactic acid bacteria at 50 and 100 mg/l but at 400 mg/l a more pronounced inhibitory effect was found. Bacterial growth was enhanced by 1-2% (w/v) of added NaCl, while NaCl concentrations above 3% (w/v) had a clear inhibitory effect. Leuconostoc isolates seemed to be more sensitive to sodium nitrite and sodium chloride than homofermentative lactobacilli strains. Among homofermentative lactobacilli, the strains resembling Lactobacillus curvatus were more sensitive to NaCl than those resembling Lactobacillus sake.     

紫外吸收法、电导率法检验大白菜种子活力的研究

通过人工老化种子和不同年代种子具有的活力不同,以发芽指数为活力参考标准来探索种子浸泡液电导率测定法和紫外吸收测定法是否适合大白菜种子活力的快速检测.结果表明:大白菜种子紫外区随着波长的缩短吸收值增大,但经玻璃比色杯滤过后会在286 nm下显示吸收峰,随着种子活力的降低286 nm下的OD值呈上升趋势,对发芽率高于85％的种子适用,而对于活力过低的种子检验不可靠;随着种子活力的降低电导率呈上升趋势,但对活力差异较小的种子间检验不可靠.因此,对发芽率合格范围内的种子可以根据286 nm(玻璃比色皿)紫外吸收值评价大白菜种子活力的高低,其他的种子可参考电导率值比较种子活力.

Relationship between genetic instability of nm23H1 gene and clinical pathological characteristic in hepatocellular carcinoma

AIM: The aim of this study was to examine the microstatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozygosity(LOH) of locus D17S396 on chromosome 17 and their influence on the expression of nm23H1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),which may provide experimental evidence for the mechanism of nm23H1 gene and tumor metastasis.METHODS: Techniques such as DNA extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues,PCR-SSCP,ordinary silver stain were used to study MSI and LOH of locus D17S396.Envision immunohistochemistry and Leica-Qwin computer imaging techniques were used to assess the expression of nm23H1.RESULTS: ① The frequency of heredity instability of HCCs was 35.42%.The frequency of LOH in the cases with lymph node or distant organs metastasis or not and with intrahepatic metastasis or embolus of portal vein or not was significantly different (P<0.01),it was higher in stage TNM Ⅲ than that in stageⅠ and Ⅱ.Moreover,it was higher in high tendency to invasion or metastasis cases than that in the low tendency cases (P<0.01).② The expression of nm23H1 was 56.25%.It was significantly different in Edmondson grade,TNM stage and in lymph node or distant organ metastasis cases (P<0.01).The cases with high tendency of invasion or metastasis exhibited lower nm23H1 expression compared with low tendency cases (P<0.01).③ The positive rate of nm23H1 protein in LOH positive group was lower than that in LOH negative group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The results indicate that both MSI and LOH of nm23H1 gene control the development of HCC independently in different pathways.LOH inhibits the expression of nm23H1,which endows it with high aggressive and poor prognosis.Increase in the amount of nm23H1 protein expression effectively restrains the tendency to invasion or metastasis of HCCs and improves prognosis of patients.     

基于稳态空间分辨光谱的猪肉肌红蛋白检测方法

The objective of this work was to determine the concentration of myoglobin in fresh pork meat and establish a fast non-invasive method using steady spatially-resolved spectroscopy (SRS). The concentration of myoglobin was calculated based on absorbance coefficients at 640, 760, 800, 850 nm. The results showed that the value of myoglobin using SRS was significantly correlated (r2=0.955) to traditional methods with the accuracy of 3.6%F.S. The results showed that the concentration of myoglobin can be measured by using near infrared steady spatially-resolved spectroscopy.     

塞内加尔达喀尔地区沙丘土壤中有机添加物的荧光表征及去向

The application of organic amendments on soils poor in organic matter (OM) can improve long-term soil fertility, but may also enhance the mineralization of native soil organic matter. Three organic amendments, compost, sewage sludge and horse manure used by urban market gardeners in Dakar, Senegal were analyzed for their OM maturity. Their fate was evaluated in a 45-d agronomic trial in a sandy Arenosol with lettuce. In each case, water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) and humic-like substances (HLS) were isolated from raw amendments and amended soils, and characterized using ultraviolet-visible (UV/Vis) spectroscopy. Results highlighted the general more aromatic character of HLS and WEOM fractions extracted from compost compared to the other two amendments. When applied to soils, however, these differences were not clearly observed. The aromaticity and humification degree of the labile fraction (WEOM) increased with depth in the first 30 cm for all amendments. This indicated the high lixiviation rates that fresh OM underwent in the studied sandy soil. Finally, a statistical analysis of the results was able to discriminate between surface and deeper horizons and between amended- and non-amended soil samples. Spectroscopic indices showed indeed strong increase/decrease with depth linked with the mineralization/humification processes that the fresh OM from amendments underwent during the 45 d of the agronomic trial. This study highlights the potential of spectroscopic techniques to study agricultural amendment organic matter fractions and their fate in soils.     

nm23基因的表达与皮肤鳞癌发生、发展及转移的关系

目的：观察nm23表达与皮肤鳞状细胞癌(鳞癌)发生、发展与转移的关系。方法；采用免疫组织化学及图像分析技术检测66例皮肤鳞癌、12例淋巴结转移灶、21例假上皮瘤样增生及20例正常皮肤中nm23表达情况。结果：皮肤鳞癌中nm23表达下调，但鳞癌中nm23表达与鳞癌的转移、TNM分期、病理分化程度及发病部位无关。结论：nm23基因表达下调是发生在鳞癌演进过程中的一个早期事件。nm23可能不具有抑制皮肤鳞癌转移的功能。

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme and Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV Inhibitory,and Antioxidant Activities of a Blue Mussel (Mytilus edulis) Meat Protein Extract and Its Hydrolysates

ABSTRACT

Protein extracted from mussel processing coproducts was hydrolyzed with four different food-grade enzyme preparations and assessed for angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory and oxygen radical antioxidant capacity (ORAC) activities. All hydrolysates tested showed higher activity than the intact protein. ACE and DPP-IV IC₅₀ values in the range 1.13–3.34 and 0.33–2.43 mg mL^?1, respectively, and ORAC values in the range 66.26–121.56 µmol trolox equivalents g^–1 were obtained. These results suggest that some of the mussel meat protein hydrolysates may have potential as functional food ingredients for the management of diseases such as type II diabetes and hypertension.
