Yellow pigment content (YPC) and carotenoid components (lutein and zeaxanthin) of 270 foxtail millet accessions, including 50 landraces and 220 improved cultivars, from four different eco-regions in China were surveyed using spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography methods. Results indicated that YPC had rich variance, ranging from 1.91 to 28.54 mg kg-1, with an average value of 17.80 mg kg-1. The average YPC of improved cultivars (18.31 mg kg-1) was significantly higher than that of landraces (15.51 mg kg-l). The YPC in cultivars from the Loess Plateau spring sowing region (LPSSR) was the highest (20.59 mg kg-~), followed by the North China summer sowing region (NCSSR, 18.25 mg kg-1), the northeast spring sowing region (NSSR, 17.25 mg kg-1), and the Inner Mongolia Plateau spring sowing region (IMPSSR, 13.92 mg kg-1). The variation coefficients of YPC in cultivars from NSSR, LPSSR, and IMPSSR were higher than that from NCSSR. A similar carotenoid profile was also obtained for 270 foxtail millet cultivars. Lutein and zeaxanthin accounted for approximately 55-65% of YPC in accessions. The lutein content was higher than zeaxanthin content in all cultivars. The ratio of lutein to zeaxanthin ranged from 1.51 to 6.06 with an average of 3.34. YPC was positively correlated with lutein (r=0.935, P〈0.01), zeaxanthin (r=0.808, P〈0.01 ), and growth duration (t=0.488, P〈0.01 ), whereas it was negatively correlated with grain protein (t=-0.332, P〈0.01) and 1 000-kernel weight (t=-0.153, P〈0.05). Our study is useful for screening and selecting cultivars with high levels of yellow pigment and for enhancing phytochemical concentrations in breeding programs.展开更多

Methods: A total of 130 patients with ischemic stroke admitted to my hospital from May 2017 to August 2018 were enrolled. The patients were divided into the control group and the study group according to the random number table method, 65 cases in each group. The control group was treated with cerebroside carnosine. And the study group was treated with safflower yellow pigment on the basis of the control group. The changes of neurological function index, oxidative stress index, vascular endothelial function index and inflammatory factor were compared before and after treatment. Results: There were no significant differences in preoperative neurological parameters, oxidative stress, vascular endothelial function and inflammatory factors between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the neurological function indexes S-100β and NSE were significantly lower in both groups, and NGF levels were significantly increased. The S-100β and NSE levels in the study group were (0.91±0.10) ng/L and (12.91±1.33) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than control group. While the NGF level of the study group was (79.52±8.07) μg/L significantly higher than that of the control group (both P<0.05). The levels of Ox-LDL were significantly reduced and GSH-Px levels were significantly elevated in both groups after treatment. The level of oxidative stress index Ox-LDL was (563.51±57.10) μg/dL, which was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the GSH-Px level was (154.55±16.07) U/L, which was significantly higher than the control group (both P<0.05). The levels of vascular endothelial function NT-proBNP, TXB2 and ET-1 were significantly lower in the two groups after treatment. The NT-proBNP, TXB2 and ET-1 in the study group were (95.91±9.77) pg/mL, (245.69±25.06) pg/mL and (64.26±6.65) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than the control group (both P<0.05). The levels of inflammatory factors MMP-9 and TNF-α were significantly lower in the two groups after treatment. The levels of MMP-9 and TNF-α in the study group were (60.64±6.12) ng/mL and (0.33±0.04) ng/mL, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Safflor yellow combined with cerebellin in the treatment of ischemic stroke has higher clinical efficacy and can significantly improve the neurological function of patients. The possible mechanism is related to the improvement of vascular endothelial function and stress response.展开更多

The samples were characterized by XRD,EDS,XPS,SEM,TG-DSC,UV-vis-NIR reflectance spectroscopy and CIE L*a*b* color scales. It is found that the substitution of A(A = Ta, Tb) for Y3+ in Y4 MoO9 decreases the NIR reflectance of the pigment samples, but the developed pigments Y4-xAxMoO9+δ(A = Ta, Tb) still exhibit impressive NIR solar reflectance. The brighter yellow color of inorganic pigments Y4-xAxMoO9+δ(A = Ta, Tb) is available when x is about 0.1 for Ta and 0.01 for Tb. The results make them a series of potential candidates as ecological yellow pigments because of their high reflectance, lightness, intense coloration and excellent thermal and chemical stability.展开更多

The JD and δ^18O values of the Yellow River water vary in large ranges from -32%0 to -91‰ and from -3.1‰ to -12.5‰, respectively. The characters of H and O isotope variations indicate that the major sources of the Yellow River water are meteoric water and snow melting water, and water cycle in the Yellow River basin is affected strongly by evaporation process and human activity. The average SPM content (9.635 g/L) of the Yellow River is the highest among the world large rivers. Compared with the Yangtze River, the Yellow River SPM has much lower clay content and significantly higher contents of clastic silicates and carbonates. In comparison to the upper crust rocks, the Yellow River SPM contains less SiO2, CaO, K2O and Na2O, but more TFe203, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd. The abnormal high Cd contents found in some sample may be related to local industrial activity. The REE contents and distribution pattern of the Yellow River SPM are very close to the average value of the global shale. The average δ^30Sisp in the Yellow River (-0.11‰) is slightly higher than the average value (-0.22‰) of the Yangtze River SPM. The major factors controlling the δ^30Si SPM of the Yellow River are the soil supply, the isotopic composition of the soil and the climate conditions. The TDS in the Yellow River are the highest among those of world large rivers. Fair correlations are observed among Cl, Na^+, K^+, and Mg^2+ contents of the Yellow River water, indicating the effect of evaporation. The Ca^2+ and Sr^2+ concentrations show good correlation to the SO42 concentration rather than HCO3-concentration, reflecting its origin from evaporates. The NO3-contents are affected by farmland fertilization. The Cu, Zn and Cd contents in dissolved load of the Yellow River water are all higher than those of average world large rivers, reflecting the effect of human activity. The dissolved load in the Yellow River water generally shows a REE distribution pattern parallel to those for the Yangtze River and the Xijiang River. The δ^30Si values of the dissolved silicon vary in a range from 0.4%0 to 2.9%0, averaging 1.34%o. The major processes controlling the Dsi weathering process of silicate rocks, growth of and δ^30SiDiss of the Yellow River water are the phytolith in plants, evaporation, dissolution of phytolith in soil, growth of fresh water diatom, adsorption and desorption of aqueous monosilicic acid on iron oxide and human activities. The average δ^30^SiDiss value of the Yellow River is significantly lower than that of the Nile River, Yangtze River and Siberia rivers, but higher than those of other rivers, reflecting their differences in chemical weathering and biological activity. The δ^34SSO4 values of the Yellow River water range from -3.8%0 to 14.1%o, averaging 7.97%0. There is some correlation between SO4^2- content and δ^34SSO4. The factors controlling the δ^34SSO4 of the Yellow River water are the SO4 in the meteoric water, the SO4 from gypsum or anhydrite in evaporite rocks, oxidation and dissolution of sulfides in the mineral deposits, magmatic rocks and sedimentary rocks, the sulfate reduction and precipitation process and the sulfate from fertilizer. The ^87Sr/^86Sr ratios of all samples range from 0.71041 to 0.71237, averaging 0.71128. The variations in the ^87Sr/^86Sr ratio and Sr concentration of river water are primarily caused by mixing of waters of various origins with different 87Sr/S6Sr ratios and Sr contents resulting from water-rock interaction with different rock types.展开更多

This reaction was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance at 530 nm of the catalytic reaction of DMY. The calibration curve for the recommended method was linear in the concentration range over 0.0–1.0 μg/L and the detection limit of the method for Ru(III) was 0.01 μg/L. The method is highly sensitive, selective and very stable and has been successfully applied for the determination of trace amounts of ruthenium in some ores and metallurgy products with the relative standard deviations (RSD) over 1.6%–2.8% and a recovery over 98.7%–104.0%.展开更多

Current research aims to support conservation efforts of beneficial insects in agroecosystems by exploring genetic processes related to nutrition. As a part of this research, colonies of Coleomegilla maculata have been maintained in culture and inbred over many generations since 2009. One result of this inbreeding has been the discovery of novel morphological phenotypes unique to laboratory strains or present in wild populations at such low levels that they have not yet been described. One such phenotype is described here. The strain described here, ye (yellow elytra and eyes) was characterized with classical Mendelian breeding and digital image analysis. This phenotype differs from wild populations by possessing yellow pigment in the elytra and pale grey to white eyes. In contrast, wild populations of C. maculata possess pink or red pigmented elytra with black spots, and black eyes. C. maculata is not known to exhibit polymorphism in the field. Inheritance is autosomal and recessive. This species was not previously known to exhibit the dramatic variation of color described here. The strain is stable in the homozygous recessive form, and retains laboratory rearing characteristics similar to the wild type laboratory strain.展开更多

文摘Kernel color is an important trait for assessing the commercial and nutritional quality of foxtail millet. Yellow pigment content (YPC) and carotenoid components (lutein and zeaxanthin) of 270 foxtail millet accessions, including 50 landraces and 220 improved cultivars, from four different eco-regions in China were surveyed using spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography methods. Results indicated that YPC had rich variance, ranging from 1.91 to 28.54 mg kg-1, with an average value of 17.80 mg kg-1. The average YPC of improved cultivars (18.31 mg kg-1) was significantly higher than that of landraces (15.51 mg kg-l). The YPC in cultivars from the Loess Plateau spring sowing region (LPSSR) was the highest (20.59 mg kg-~), followed by the North China summer sowing region (NCSSR, 18.25 mg kg-1), the northeast spring sowing region (NSSR, 17.25 mg kg-1), and the Inner Mongolia Plateau spring sowing region (IMPSSR, 13.92 mg kg-1). The variation coefficients of YPC in cultivars from NSSR, LPSSR, and IMPSSR were higher than that from NCSSR. A similar carotenoid profile was also obtained for 270 foxtail millet cultivars. Lutein and zeaxanthin accounted for approximately 55-65% of YPC in accessions. The lutein content was higher than zeaxanthin content in all cultivars. The ratio of lutein to zeaxanthin ranged from 1.51 to 6.06 with an average of 3.34. YPC was positively correlated with lutein (r=0.935, P〈0.01), zeaxanthin (r=0.808, P〈0.01 ), and growth duration (t=0.488, P〈0.01 ), whereas it was negatively correlated with grain protein (t=-0.332, P〈0.01) and 1 000-kernel weight (t=-0.153, P〈0.05). Our study is useful for screening and selecting cultivars with high levels of yellow pigment and for enhancing phytochemical concentrations in breeding programs.
文摘Objective: To investigate the effects of safflower yellow pigment combined with cerebellin on neurological function in patients with ischemic stroke and analyze its possible mechanism. Methods: A total of 130 patients with ischemic stroke admitted to my hospital from May 2017 to August 2018 were enrolled. The patients were divided into the control group and the study group according to the random number table method, 65 cases in each group. The control group was treated with cerebroside carnosine. And the study group was treated with safflower yellow pigment on the basis of the control group. The changes of neurological function index, oxidative stress index, vascular endothelial function index and inflammatory factor were compared before and after treatment. Results: There were no significant differences in preoperative neurological parameters, oxidative stress, vascular endothelial function and inflammatory factors between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the neurological function indexes S-100β and NSE were significantly lower in both groups, and NGF levels were significantly increased. The S-100β and NSE levels in the study group were (0.91±0.10) ng/L and (12.91±1.33) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than control group. While the NGF level of the study group was (79.52±8.07) μg/L significantly higher than that of the control group (both P<0.05). The levels of Ox-LDL were significantly reduced and GSH-Px levels were significantly elevated in both groups after treatment. The level of oxidative stress index Ox-LDL was (563.51±57.10) μg/dL, which was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the GSH-Px level was (154.55±16.07) U/L, which was significantly higher than the control group (both P<0.05). The levels of vascular endothelial function NT-proBNP, TXB2 and ET-1 were significantly lower in the two groups after treatment. The NT-proBNP, TXB2 and ET-1 in the study group were (95.91±9.77) pg/mL, (245.69±25.06) pg/mL and (64.26±6.65) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than the control group (both P<0.05). The levels of inflammatory factors MMP-9 and TNF-α were significantly lower in the two groups after treatment. The levels of MMP-9 and TNF-α in the study group were (60.64±6.12) ng/mL and (0.33±0.04) ng/mL, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Safflor yellow combined with cerebellin in the treatment of ischemic stroke has higher clinical efficacy and can significantly improve the neurological function of patients. The possible mechanism is related to the improvement of vascular endothelial function and stress response.

文摘A series of inorganic yellow pigments with general formula Y4-xAxMoO9+δ(A = Ta, Tb), where x = 0,0.05,0.1,0.2, 0.4 for Ta and χ = 0, 0.005, 0.01.0.03, 0.05 for Tb,were synthesized by a conventional ceramic method at 1400 ℃ for 6 h in air. The samples were characterized by XRD,EDS,XPS,SEM,TG-DSC,UV-vis-NIR reflectance spectroscopy and CIE L*a*b* color scales. It is found that the substitution of A(A = Ta, Tb) for Y3+ in Y4 MoO9 decreases the NIR reflectance of the pigment samples, but the developed pigments Y4-xAxMoO9+δ(A = Ta, Tb) still exhibit impressive NIR solar reflectance. The brighter yellow color of inorganic pigments Y4-xAxMoO9+δ(A = Ta, Tb) is available when x is about 0.1 for Ta and 0.01 for Tb. The results make them a series of potential candidates as ecological yellow pigments because of their high reflectance, lightness, intense coloration and excellent thermal and chemical stability.

The Cu, Zn and Cd contents in dissolved load of the Yellow River water are all higher than those of average world large rivers, reflecting the effect of human activity. The dissolved load in the Yellow River water generally shows a REE distribution pattern parallel to those for the Yangtze River and the Xijiang River. The δ^30Si values of the dissolved silicon vary in a range from 0.4%0 to 2.9%0, averaging 1.34%o. The major processes controlling the Dsi weathering process of silicate rocks, growth of and δ^30SiDiss of the Yellow River water are the phytolith in plants, evaporation, dissolution of phytolith in soil, growth of fresh water diatom, adsorption and desorption of aqueous monosilicic acid on iron oxide and human activities. The average δ^30^SiDiss value of the Yellow River is significantly lower than that of the Nile River, Yangtze River and Siberia rivers, but higher than those of other rivers, reflecting their differences in chemical weathering and biological activity. The δ^34SSO4 values of the Yellow River water range from -3.8%0 to 14.1%o, averaging 7.97%0. There is some correlation between SO4^2- content and δ^34SSO4. The factors controlling the δ^34SSO4 of the Yellow River water are the SO4 in the meteoric water, the SO4 from gypsum or anhydrite in evaporite rocks, oxidation and dissolution of sulfides in the mineral deposits, magmatic rocks and sedimentary rocks, the sulfate reduction and precipitation process and the sulfate from fertilizer. The ^87Sr/^86Sr ratios of all samples range from 0.71041 to 0.71237, averaging 0.71128. The variations in the ^87Sr/^86Sr ratio and Sr concentration of river water are primarily caused by mixing of waters of various origins with different 87Sr/S6Sr ratios and Sr contents resulting from water-rock interaction with different rock types.

文摘A spectrophotometric method for the determination of ruthenium(III) is described, based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation reaction of dimethyl yellow (DMY) with potassium bromate in an acid solution medium and in the presence of an OP emulsifier (p-iso-octyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol) at 100 °C. This reaction was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance at 530 nm of the catalytic reaction of DMY. The calibration curve for the recommended method was linear in the concentration range over 0.0–1.0 μg/L and the detection limit of the method for Ru(III) was 0.01 μg/L. The method is highly sensitive, selective and very stable and has been successfully applied for the determination of trace amounts of ruthenium in some ores and metallurgy products with the relative standard deviations (RSD) over 1.6%–2.8% and a recovery over 98.7%–104.0%.

文摘Japanese Spanish mackerel,Scomberomorus niphonius,is a commercially important,highly migratory species that is widely distributed throughout the northwestern Pacific region.However,its life history and migratory patterns are only partially understood.This study used otolith chemistry to investigate the migratory pattern of S.niphonius in the southern Yellow Sea,an important fishing ground.Transverse sections of otoliths from 15 age-1 spawning or spent individuals,comprising up to one complete migration cycle,were analyzed from the core to the margin by using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.The ratios of the element to Ca were integrated with microstructural analysis to produce age-related elemental profiles.Combining multielemental analysis of otolith composition with multivariate analytical models,we quantified structural changes in otolith chemistry profiles.Results revealed there were diverse changing patterns of otolith chemistry profiles for detected elements and the elements of Na,Mg,Sr and Ba were important for the chronological signal.Five clusters were identified through chronological clustering,representing the five life stages from the early stage to the spawning stage.Variation of Ba:Ca ratio was most informative,showing a step-decreasing pattern in the first four stages and a rebound in the spawning stage.These results support the hypothesized migratory pattern of S.niphonius:hatching and spending their early life in the coastal sandy ridges system of the southern Yellow Sea,migrating northeastward and offshore for feeding during juvenile stage,aggregating in early October and migrating outward to the Jeju Island for wintering,and returning to the coastal waters for spawning.This study demonstrated the value of life-history related otolith chemistry profiles combined with multivariate analytical models was a means to verify the migration patterns of S.niphonius at regional scales with potential application in fisheries assessment and management.

文摘Marine phytoplankton plays a very important role in marine ecology,environment and global climate change,and it is an indicative organism for measuring water quality.The Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea in China have unique geographical locations.Therefore,the characteristics of phytoplankton population distribution in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea are of great significance to the study of marine ecology in China.In this work,the pigment data obtained from the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in August 2015 were analyzed by HPLC(High-Performance Liquid Chromatography).Then the pigment data were analyzed statistically by the CHEMTAX software,so that the phytoplankton community structure information was obtained.Results show that in summer 2015,from the perspective of sea area,the biomass of phytoplankton in the surface of Bohai Sea is higher than that in the Yellow Sea,while the phytoplankton biomass in the surface of North Yellow Sea is higher than that in the South.From the perspective of dominant species of phytoplankton,the surface waters of the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea were dominated by diatoms,prymnesiophytes and chlorophytes,accounting for 55.76%,14.56%and 14.55%respectively.Among them,diatoms accounted for the absolute advantage.
文摘Beetles in the family Coccinellidae, commonly known as ladybugs, lady beetles, or ladybirds, are easily identifiable and popular beneficial insects. Current research aims to support conservation efforts of beneficial insects in agroecosystems by exploring genetic processes related to nutrition. As a part of this research, colonies of Coleomegilla maculata have been maintained in culture and inbred over many generations since 2009. One result of this inbreeding has been the discovery of novel morphological phenotypes unique to laboratory strains or present in wild populations at such low levels that they have not yet been described. One such phenotype is described here. The strain described here, ye (yellow elytra and eyes) was characterized with classical Mendelian breeding and digital image analysis. This phenotype differs from wild populations by possessing yellow pigment in the elytra and pale grey to white eyes. In contrast, wild populations of C. maculata possess pink or red pigmented elytra with black spots, and black eyes. C. maculata is not known to exhibit polymorphism in the field. Inheritance is autosomal and recessive. This species was not previously known to exhibit the dramatic variation of color described here. The strain is stable in the homozygous recessive form, and retains laboratory rearing characteristics similar to the wild type laboratory strain.
