The selected formulation was a stable oil/water emulsion system. The particles in the emulsion system were distributed evenly, and the particle size ranged from 20 to 260 nm（ average size ： 67.5 nm ）. Soybean lecithin played an important role in the emulsion system due to its abilities of acting as both absorption enhancer for insulin uptake through sublingual mucosa and oily phase for the emulsion system. The laser confocal scanning microscopic（LCSM） study showed that FITC-labelled insulin could penetrate the sublingual mucosa of rabbits, and the phase diagrams of the emulsion system suggested that soybean lecithin could take the place of oily phase to construct a stable emulsion system even if the traditional oil was absent. The applications of soybean lecithin as pharmaceutical biomaterial were extended for the further usage by present studies.展开更多

Results of grafting experiments show that the grafting ratio on the surface of the fibers is low when the grafting polymer chain is not cross linked. Under scanning electron microscope (SEM), it is discovered that there is no different morphology between the raw fibers and their being coated with soybean lecithin. The composites exhibit a good stability of soybean lecithin layer, and better anti coagulant property than the sulfonated grafting fibers or raw fibers.展开更多

Two sources of soybean lecithin （20% and 95% soybean phosphatidylcholine; PC20 and PC95） and three concentrations （1%, 2% and 3% v/v） of PC20 and PC95 supplemented in Tris-citric acid-fructose （TCF） extender were tested. The TCF extender supplemented with 20% hen egg yolk was used as a control. Fresh semen samples were collected from 3 goats by artificial vagina. Seminal plasma was removed by centrifugation and sperm pellets were pooled together and divided into 7 groups according to types of extender. The diluted semen samples were kept at 4 ℃ （equilibration）. The semen qualities including progressive motility, sperm viability, sperm plasma membrane integrity and tail abnormalities were evaluated before dilution and after 4 hrs equilibration. It was found that the progressive motility of equilibrated semen in egg yolk and PC20 extenders were higher than those in PC95 extender （P 〈 0.05）. Sperm viability was lower in 1% and 2% PC95 extender compared to other extenders （P 〈 0.05）. PC20 extender maintained the sperm membrane integrity and normal tail morphology at low temperature better than egg yolk and PC95 （P 〈 0.05）. It can be concluded that 20% soybean phosphatidylcholine supplemented in TCF extender at 1%-3% （v/v） is as effective as hen egg yolk to preserve goat semen during equilibration at 4 ℃ for 4 hrs .展开更多
