Research Progress on Harmless Treatment of Dead Livestock and Poultry with Alkaline Hydrolysis in China

China＇s animal husbandry industry has developed rapidly and the inventory of swine, poultry, and sheep has been in the first place in the world of late years. For several consecutive years, the annual slaughter swine has reached to more than 700 million head, 70 million head of carcasses, about 2 million tons. The number will be even more if cattle, sheep and poultry had been considered. If handled improperly, the large number of carcasses of livestock and poultry will seriously pollute environment and even bring food safety issues and harm to public health security. More and more concern has been attracted on harmless disposal of dead animals. Of all the harmless disposal methods on carcasses of livestock and poultry, the application and research of alkalizalion hydrolysisar （ AH ） are less and only restricted in the higher-level security laboratory field in China. The method of alkalization hydrolysis has the advantages of completely inactivating pathogenic microorganisms （including prions）, no harmful gas, simple operation, low cost, etc, which has the value of research and application. This paper summarized the characteristics and the sterilization effect of alkaline hydrolysis, and discussed the processing and application of AH products of animal carcasses ,meanwhile, introduced the types, research and application state of AH in China, finally, briefly discussed the application prospect of AH in China.

Present Situation,Problems and Countermeasures for Harmless Treatment of Dead Livestock and Poultry in Fujian

A serial of management and support policy for harmless treatment of dead livestock and poultry had been formulated in Fujian Province, and the effect was remarkable. But there were still some problems in the implementation of the policy, the technique of harmless treatment, livestock insurance and invcstigation and punishment of illegal behavior. Therefore, the following countermeasures were put forward： strengthen the responsibility system for harmless treatment of dead livestock and poultry; adjust harmless treatment mode to local conditions; build centralized treatment plant; punish illegal and criminal activities strictly; improve linkage policy of insurance and harmless treatment of livestock and poultry.

Difficulties and Countermeasures in Harmless Treatment of Infected Pig Carcasses

This paper introduced the difficulties in the handling of infected pig carcasses,such as difficulty in finding,difficulty in collection and transportation,difficulty in facility construction,and difficulty in monitoring and supervision,etc.The reasons for these difficulties are shortcomings in the top-level design of the policy to the specific measures at the grassroots level.In view of these shortcomings,the author came up with some pertinent recommendations,including improving relevant regulations and policy measures,establishing a sound system and network for the collection,transportation and processing of infected pig carcasses,reinforcing punishment and strengthening linkage and cooperation between departments.

Paradox of Using Intensive Lowering of Blood Glucose in Diabetics and Strategies to Overcome It and Decrease Cardiovascular Risks

Hyperglycemia significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease （CVD） in diabetics. However, it has been shown by a series of large scale international studies that intensive lowering of blood glucose levels not only has very limited benefits against cardiovascular problems in patients, but may even be harmful to patients at a high risk for CVD and/or poor long-term control of blood glucose levels. Therefore, Western medicine is faced with a paradox. One way to solve this may be administration of Chinese herbal medicines that not only regulate blood glucose, blood fat levels and blood pressure, but also act on multiple targets. These medicines can eliminate cytotoxicity of high glucose through anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant methods, regulation of cytokines and multiple signaling molecules, and maintenance of cell vitality and the cell cycle, etc. This allows hyperglycemic conditions to exist in a healthy manner, which is called ＂harmless hyperglycemia＂ Furthermore, these cardiovascular benefits go beyond lowering blood glucose leve^s. The mechanisms of action not only avoid cardiovascular injury caused by intensive lowering of blood glucose levels, but also decrease the cardiovascular dangers posed by hyperglycemia.

Inclusion control study in high aluminum steel

In order to reduce the negative effect of gross Al-rich inclusions on high aluminum steel, both thermodynamic calculations and designed deoxidization experiments were performed in condition of different silicon and aluminum deoxidization sequences. Thermodynamic calculations demonstrated that the complex inclusions with low melting point （harmless inclusions） are more favorable to be formed in condition that the melt was deoxidized using ferrosilicon first and then pure aluminum （Si/A1 deoxidization） than that deoxidized using pure aluminum first and then ferrosilicon （AI/Si deoxidization）. Al-rich inclusion decreases 83% from A1/Si deoxidization to Si/A1 deoxidization. The experimental results showed that the total quantity of inclusions decreases by 24% and the proportion of harmless inclusions is doubled when comparing Si/Al deoxidization with Al/Si deoxidization. The morphology of complex inclusion tends to be spherical, and the mean size is less than 5μm in condition of Si/Al deoxidization. The formation mechanism of harmless inclusions was discussed, and it is believed that the inclusions can be controlled reasonably in high aluminum steel using Si/Al deoxidization.
