[ Method] Using nitrotetrazolium blue chloride (NBT) light reduction method, SOD activity of drugstore beetle ( Stegobium panlceum ), cigarette beetle ( Lasioderma serricorne) and coffee bean beetle (Araecerus fasciculatus) was studied, and the stress response of the enzyme under controlled atmosphere stress of CO2 was analyzed. [ Result ] SOD activity of drugstore beetle, cigarette beetle and coffee bean beetle exposed to controlled atmosphere stress of high concentrations of CO2 for 3 and 6 h had certain degree of increase, and the activity sig- nificantly increased from 2.011±0.954,2.664±0.218 and 1.458±0.718 to 3. 135±0. 105,3.050±0.673 and 2.975±0.229 U/(per pest · 30 min) after treat- ment for 6 h. [ Conclusion] Controlled atmosphere stress of high concentrations of CO2 had certain activation effect on SOD activity of storage pest in Chinese me- dicinal material within the context of sub-lethal events. The results could enrich the insecticidal mechanism of controlled atmosphere and theoretical system of analy- sis on insect resistance to controlled atmosphere.展开更多

Methods: The global brain ischemia rat model was developed by blocking 4 arteries. Seventy-eight Wistar male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: a normal control group, a sham-operation group, a brain ischemia group, a brain ischemia preconditioning group, a moxibustion pretreating group. The brains in the 5 groups were taken at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after operation respectively. Superoxide dismulase (SOD) activity was determined with xanthine oxidase method and malondialdehyde (MDA) content with thiobarbituric acid method. Results: After the operation, in the moxibustion preconditioning group, SOD activity significantly increased, especially 24 h after moxibustion preconditioning; and MDA content decreased, with a very significant difference as compared with that of the cerebral ischemia group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Moxibustion preconditioning protects the ischemic and anoxic brain tissue by increasing the activity of endogenous antioxidase.展开更多
