This study investigated the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP) and modified atmosphere packaging(MAP) on changes of fruit quality and superficial scald during cold storage and at shelf life in Yali pear. Compared with MAP, the combination of MAP and 1-MCP(MAP+1-MCP) treatment reduced the carbon dioxide and ethylene content inside the packaging bag. The 1-MCP, MAP, and MAP+1-MCP treatments reduced the superficial scald index, malondialdehyde content, O2^-· production rate and relative conductivity and inhibited the accumulation of α-farnesene and conjugated trienes in the peel. 1-MCP and MAP+1-MCP treatments maintained a higher phenolic content and enhanced the catalase and superoxide dismutase activities in the fruit, while reduced activities of lipoxygenase and polyphenol oxidase in the peel preceding the onset of superficial scald. Comprehensive analysis indicated that the MAP+1-MCP treatment is the most effective method tested for improving the quality of Yali pears during cold storage and at shelf life.展开更多

Dangshansuli pear fruits were treated with 1 000 or 2 000 μL L-1 diphenylamine (DPA) for 1 min, or with 0.5 μL L-1 1-methylcyclopropene (l-MCP) for 12 h before cold storage at (2±0.5)℃ for up to 210 d. Incidences of superficial scald and related physiological indexes were investigated during storage. The results showed that superficial scald occurred in control fruit with a rate of over 90% after 210 d at cold storage plus 10 d at room temperature. Treatments with 1 000 and 2 000 μL L-1 DPA and 0.5 μL L-1 l-MCP inhibited the accumulation of a-farnesene, conjugated trienes, total phenolic contents, and malondialdehyde (MDA) during storage. The treatments also decreased leakage of cell membrane and the activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the peel. These results indicate that 1-MCP and DPA treatments inhibit and postpone the occurrence of superficial scald of Dangshansuli pears remarkably in cold storage and post-storage shelf life, respectively, while the mechanisms were different. The results above may provide a theoretical evidence for the agriculture production.展开更多

Method:1.-703,606 treatment was performed in Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats at early stage after deep partial-thickness skin scalding.One hundred and fifty two adult male SI) rats were used in the study and randomly divided into sham scald(SS,n=8),scald control(SC,n=48),and L-703,606 treatment(IT,n=48) groups.The rats in SC and LT groups were subjected to 20%total body surface area(TBSA) deep partial-thickness skin scalding.Modified Evans blue extravasation, tracing electron microscopy by lanthanum nitrate and mean water content assay were employed to observe and detect the changes of vascular permeability,ultrastructure and edema formation in adjacent tissue to the wounds and in the jejuna of rats at early stage(72 h) after scald.Results: The pathological increase of vascular permeability in the periwound tissue and jejunum of rats in LT group were significantly lower than that in SC group(P【0.01),and recuperated earlier. Meanwhile,the changes of water contents of corresponding tissues in LT group were lighter than those in SC group(P【0.01).The ultrastructural changes of the microvessels in the peri-wound tissue of LT group showed that the junctions between microvascular endothelium cells were more narrow than those of SC group,moreover,and the number of opening and the engorgement and cavitation of the vascular endothelium cells decreased,the areosis and edema in perivascular tissue lightened,and the precipitation of the high eletron density lanthanum tracing agent in the interspace of the tissue decreased significantly in LT group.Conclusions:It is concluded that nonpeptide NK1-receptor antagonist L-703,606 could lighten the vascular permeability and edema formation in the periwound tissue and jejunum,and accelerate the normalization process of pathological changes in the tissues of rats after scald.展开更多

It was found that selenium content in the rat tissues decreased remarkably af-ter injury, which in turn resulted in serious reduction of glutathione peroxidasc activity and significantincrease of lipid peroxides in the scrum, crythrocytcs and liver. However the muscular tissue showedno significant changes. These facts imply that after burn injury, the body is in a state of selenium deficiency, the lossof selenium might be responsible for the reduction of anti - peroxidation ability of glutathioneperoxidase, and conscqucntly there is an increase of lipid peroxides in the tissues. Only the musculartissue is insensitive to lipid peroxidation. It is believed that the reduction of anti-peroxidation abilityof glutathione peroxidasc after bum injury might be one of the main causes to intensify, the injury re-suiting from free radicals.展开更多

On the contrary, liver lipoperoxide and mierosomal lipoperoxidation increased significantlyafter scalding. Both the increase of liver lipoperoxide and mierosomal lipoperoxidation and the de-crease of MDMS activity were prevented by vitamin E and silybin treatments.展开更多

Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of the data of 82 cases of SSSS hospitalized at Xinhua Hospital during the period from May 1993 to September 2003. Results The disease in all the 82 patients occurred in their first decade (mean 2.5 years). Possible predisposing factors were found in 48 (58. 5% ). Fever was present in 78 (95. 1% ). Radial spokes of crusting around mouth were present in 80 ( 97. 6% ). Erythema began on the face, especially around the mouth and eye in 63 ( 76. 8% ). The course was acute in all cases and the eruptions quickly spread to the whole body within one day to two days. Of the 82 cases of SSSS, 47 were complete form of SSSS, 27 were abortive form of SSSS, and 8 were between the two forms. Staphylococcus aureus with positive staphylocoagulase was isolated from the possible primary infection sites including pharynx, eyelid, conjunctiva, nose, ear, and skin in 18 of 31 patients. Microbiological cultures of bullae and little pustulae developed after the onset were negative in 16 cases. All the 82 patients completely recovered after receiving antibiotic therapy ( ceftriaxone, oxacillin) alone or in combination with human immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. Additional IVIG therapy was used in those patients who had systemic involvements such as pneumonia, fever higher than 38. 5℃ or leukocytosis. Conclusion SSSS is a spectrum disease. Besides abortive and complete forms, presenting between the two forms a new form might be appeared in 8 cases who developed both scarlatiniform rash and flaccid bullae. The abortive form and complete form are usually misdiagnosed clinically. Radial spokes of crusting around mouth seem to be characteristic manifestation of SSSS. All the patients in this study had favorable prognosis after receiving prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment.展开更多

Methods: After a model of Balb/C mice inflictedwith 18%-- 20% TBSA full--thickness skin scald on the back and one hindleg was established, the proteincatabolic rate (TNR) and the level of 11.M6 in soleus muscle and serum were determined and the effects of IL6 on TNR of normal mice and those of 11.--6 antiserurn on TNR of the scalded mice wee observed during thefirst week after scalding. Results: The level of IL--6 was significantly increased and maintained during thefirst three days. TNR of the scalded leg was elevated to the peak on the 3rd day and then decreased graduallywhile that of the unscalded leg was increased only on the 2nd day after scalding. TNR was significantlyincreased when IL--6 was injected to the normal mice and IL--6 antiserum could significantly inhibit the. increased TNR of the scalded mice when it was injected intraperitoneally. Conclusion: The increase of IL--6 isrelated with local inflammatory response in the early stage after scalding and the high level of IL--6 canincrease the catabolic rate of muscle protein.展开更多

It was found that insulin resistance appeared in the early stage postscalding while the basic value of phosphorylation of exogenous substrates stimulated with hepatic and muscular plasma membrane was increased and the activity of IPTPK to insulin stimulation was greatly suppressed as compared with the control. These facts suggest that the impaired responses of IRTPK to insulin stimulation may affect the down-stream signal transmission of the insulin receptors and then the signal coupling pathwayfor glucose transmembranous transportation and glycogen synthesis mediated by IRTPK is obstructed and insulinresistance develops.展开更多

It was found that the maximum binding capacity of insulin receptors was significantly decreased after scalding but the average affinity increased. The sensitivity of insulin inhibition on the activity of adenylate cyclase was significantly reduced but there was no apparent difference of the maximum inhibition activity. These findings suggest that the impairment of transmembranous conduction of insulin signals across the cell membrane of hepatocytes after scalding can result in abnormal metabolism of glucose and consequently insulin resistance.展开更多

Patients: During 3 year period 273 children were admitted to the Clinic of Burns and Reconstructive Surgery of our hospital;201 of them were with scald burns accounting for 73.6% of all pediatric burn admissions. More than half (58.7%) of the 201 children with scald burns were of Roma ethnicity. Results: The average BSAB of the children with scald burns was 10.8%;mean length of hospital stay 11.5 days. 58.7% of the children with scald burns was of Roma ethnicity. The non-scald admissions of children had a similar pattern but these children were older and with an even higher prevalence of Roma patients (75%), a slightly lower average BSAB (9.8%) and a significantly longer need of hospital treatment (average 15.7 days). Conclusion: The frequency of scald burn injuries in very young Roma children in our region is very high. Prevention of scald burns is possible only through targeted and well-organized education of this vulnerable population.展开更多

Leaf discs were permeabilized with iso-propanol to facilitate the uptake of the enzyme substrate by intact tissues and to improve the enzyme assay. Bacterial infection significantly enhances β-1,3 glucanase activity of sensitive cultivars whereas significantly decreased that of the resistant one. Low concentrations of salicylate increase the hydrolase activity whereas jasmonic acid do not act as an elicitor of the enzyme and β-1,3 glucanase, such as laminarin, significantly inhibits the production of β-1,3 glucanase. Thus, the enzyme must be considered as a sensitivity factor induced by the pathogen.展开更多

Methods: After a model of Balb/C mice inflictedwith 18%-- 20% TBSA full--thickness skin scald on the back and one hindleg was established, the proteincatabolic rate (TNR) and the level of 11.M6 in soleus muscle and serum were determined and the effects of IL6 on TNR of normal mice and those of 11.--6 antiserurn on TNR of the scalded mice wee observed during thefirst week after scalding. Results: The level of IL--6 was significantly increased and maintained during thefirst three days. TNR of the scalded leg was elevated to the peak on the 3rd day and then decreased graduallywhile that of the unscalded leg was increased only on the 2nd day after scalding. TNR was significantlyincreased when IL--6 was injected to the normal mice and IL--6 antiserum could significantly inhibit the. increased TNR of the scalded mice when it was injected intraperitoneally. Conclusion: The increase of IL--6 isrelated with local inflammatory response in the early stage after scalding and the high level of IL--6 canincrease the catabolic rate of muscle protein.
文摘After the rats were inflicted with 30% TBSA full thickness scalding on their back, the changes of insulin receptor tyrosine protein kinase (IRTPK) were studied on the 4th day postscalding with the phosphorylation of exogenous substrates stimulated with hepatic and muscular plasma membrane in order to explore the possible molecular mechanism of insulin resistance after thermal injury. It was found that insulin resistance appeared in the early stage postscalding while the basic value of phosphorylation of exogenous substrates stimulated with hepatic and muscular plasma membrane was increased and the activity of IPTPK to insulin stimulation was greatly suppressed as compared with the control. These facts suggest that the impaired responses of IRTPK to insulin stimulation may affect the down-stream signal transmission of the insulin receptors and then the signal coupling pathwayfor glucose transmembranous transportation and glycogen synthesis mediated by IRTPK is obstructed and insulinresistance develops.
文摘In order to investigate the effects of transmembranous conduction of signals on insulin resistance after scalding,the changes of the binding capacity of insulin receptors in the cell membrane of hepatocytes and the activities of adenylate cyclase were observed in rats after they were inflicted with 30% TBSA full thickness scalding. It was found that the maximum binding capacity of insulin receptors was significantly decreased after scalding but the average affinity increased. The sensitivity of insulin inhibition on the activity of adenylate cyclase was significantly reduced but there was no apparent difference of the maximum inhibition activity. These findings suggest that the impairment of transmembranous conduction of insulin signals across the cell membrane of hepatocytes after scalding can result in abnormal metabolism of glucose and consequently insulin resistance.
文摘Objectives: A retrospective analysis of scald burns in children in a region with a significant prevalence of Roma ethnicity living in poor socioeconomic situation. Patients: During 3 year period 273 children were admitted to the Clinic of Burns and Reconstructive Surgery of our hospital;201 of them were with scald burns accounting for 73.6% of all pediatric burn admissions. More than half (58.7%) of the 201 children with scald burns were of Roma ethnicity. Results: The average BSAB of the children with scald burns was 10.8%;mean length of hospital stay 11.5 days. 58.7% of the children with scald burns was of Roma ethnicity. The non-scald admissions of children had a similar pattern but these children were older and with an even higher prevalence of Roma patients (75%), a slightly lower average BSAB (9.8%) and a significantly longer need of hospital treatment (average 15.7 days). Conclusion: The frequency of scald burn injuries in very young Roma children in our region is very high. Prevention of scald burns is possible only through targeted and well-organized education of this vulnerable population.

文摘[Objectives]This study was conducted to clarify the pathogens causing suspected sugarcane leaf scald symptoms in sugarcane plants found in the Xinping sugarcane area of Yunnan in 2019.[Methods]The XAF1/XAR1 specific primers of Xanthomonas albilineans were used to detect 8 suspected samples from Xinping County,Yunnan Province.[Results]The specific band 600 bp in size was detected.The sequencing results showed that the sequences detected were all 608 bp,and were 100%identical.The BLAST search results showed that the obtained sequence was 100%identical to the nucleotide sequence of X.albilineans GPE PC73 strain(GenBank accession number:FP565176)from France,and they were located in the same branch of the phylogenetic tree.According to the field symptom diagnosis and molecular identification results,the sugarcane disease in Xinping,Yunnan was confirmed to be the quarantine disease sugarcane leaf scald caused by X.allbilineasn.[Conclusions]The pathogens were identified by molecular biological identification methods,providing a scientific basis for the prevention and control of leaf scald disease in the future.
文摘Leaf discs of five cultivars of sugarcane exhibiting different degree of susceptibility to leaf scald were used to measure β-1,3 glucanase activity before and after experimental infection with Xanthomonas albilineans. Leaf discs were permeabilized with iso-propanol to facilitate the uptake of the enzyme substrate by intact tissues and to improve the enzyme assay. Bacterial infection significantly enhances β-1,3 glucanase activity of sensitive cultivars whereas significantly decreased that of the resistant one. Low concentrations of salicylate increase the hydrolase activity whereas jasmonic acid do not act as an elicitor of the enzyme and β-1,3 glucanase, such as laminarin, significantly inhibits the production of β-1,3 glucanase. Thus, the enzyme must be considered as a sensitivity factor induced by the pathogen.

文摘Background:Delayed wound healing remains a common but challenging problem in patients with acute or chronic wound following accidental scald burn injury.However,the systematic and detailed evaluation of the scald burn injury,including second-degree deep scald(SDDS)and thirddegree scald(TDS),is still unclear.The present study aims to analyze the wound-healing speed,the formation of granulation tissue,and the healing quality after cutaneous damage.Methods:In order to assess SDDS and TDS,the models of SDDS and TDS were established using a scald instrument in C57BL/6 mice.Furthermore,an excisional wound was administered on the dorsal surface in mice(Cut group).The wound-healing rate was first analyzed at days 0,3,5,7,15 and 27,with the Cut group as a control.Then,on the full-thickness wounds,hematoxylin and eosin(H&E)staining,Masson staining,Sirius red staining,Victoria blue staining and immunohistochemistry were performed to examine re-epithelialization,the formation of granulation tissue,vascularization,inflammatory infiltration and the healing quality at different time points in the Cut,SDDS and TDS groups.Results:The presented data revealed that the wound-healing rate was higher in the Cut group,when compared with the SDDS and TDS groups.H&E staining showed that re-epithelialization,formation of granulation tissue and inflammatory infiltration were greater in the Cut group,when compared with the SDDS and TDS groups.Immunohistochemistry revealed that the number of CD31,vascular endothelial growth factor A,transforming growth factor-βandα-smooth muscle actin reached preferential peak in the Cut group,when compared with other groups.In addition,Masson staining,Sirius red staining,Victoria blue staining,Gordon-Sweets staining and stress analysis indicated that the ratio of collagen I to III,reticular fibers,failure stress,Young’s modulus and failure length in the SDDS group were similar to those in the normal group,suggesting that healing quality was better in the SDDS group,when compared with the Cut and TDS groups.Conclusion:Overall,the investigators first administered a comprehensive analysis in the Cut,SDDS and TDS groups through in vivo experiments,which further proved that the obstacle of the formation of granulation tissue leads to delayed wound healing after scald burn injury in mice.

文摘Objective To explore the effect of shenmai injection (SI) on expression of TNF-α mRNA in peritoneal macrophages (pMΦs) of scald mice.Methods BALB/c mice were inflicted with 11% of body surface area Ⅲ degree scald and injected intraperitoneally (ip) with SI daily for 5 days, and expression of TNF-α mRNA in pMΦs was determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results In scald mice, the expression of TNF-α mRNA in pMΦs increased significantly, but it was reduced obviously (P<0.01) after SI administration, while the livability was increased markedly (P<0.05).Conclusions For scald mice, the cause of death at early stage might be related to the high expression of TNF-α mRNA in pMΦs and the use of SI can decrease the death rate.
文摘本研究目的在于通过调整浸烫参数的方式减少淘汰蛋鸡在屠宰加工中的损失。以饲养日龄为400 d的淘汰蛋鸡作为研究对象,探究不同浸烫方式对其羽毛去除效果及皮下肌肉过熟程度的影响。分别设置三种温度和时间的浸烫组合:65℃-3 min(高温浸烫,High Temperature Scald,HS)、60℃-4 min 20 s(中温慢烫,Middle Temperature Slow Scald,MSS)、58℃-4 min 20 s(低温慢烫,Low Temperature Slow Scald,LSS),并以未经浸烫的淘汰蛋鸡作为对照组。通过测定浸烫后去羽力(Feather Retention Force,FRF)及计数残留羽毛数量表征浸烫脱毛效果。通过测定肉色、测量过熟区域深度、DSC扫描、拉曼光谱扫描表征不同浸烫处理对皮下肌肉过熟程度。浸烫后淘汰蛋鸡HS组与LSS组羽毛去除效果无显著差异,MSS组去羽力与残留羽毛数量显著低于另外两处理组(P<0.05),两种残留羽毛计数结果显示采用长时间浸烫能够使毛根数量减少。浸烫后鸡胸肉L*值显著高于对照组(P<0.05),其中HS组L*值比LSS、MSS组分别显著高出5.33与4.75(P<0.05)。沿肌纤维方向切割鸡胸肉发现截面出现明显分层(白色肉与正常肉),HS组白色肉厚度相比LSS组与MSS显著增加。DSC结果显示虽然三种浸烫处理均会使淘汰蛋鸡胸肉肌球蛋白变性,但是HS组胸肉中肌浆蛋白或胶原蛋白以及肌动蛋白的变性程度均高于其他两处理组。蛋白质二级结构相对含量显示HS组胸肉蛋白质变性程度最高。综合羽毛去除效果结果与胸肉过熟结果,得到淘汰蛋鸡最适浸烫参数为:60℃-4 min 20 s。本研究在抑制浸烫中皮下肌肉过熟程度的同时提升了浸烫脱毛效果,为企业屠宰淘汰蛋鸡提供技术参考。
