[Method] Sperms were extracted from bursa copulatrix of female moths mated for 30 min through extruding and centrifugal method, and then the semen was injected into other virgin moths with trypsinase. [ Result] A high-effective collection technology of spermatids from silkworm was established successfully, 50 μl semen could be collected by only one person in each hour. The survival rate of spermatids was over 80% in vito after collected from bursa copulatrix, while the obtained semen was quite pure and the average fertilization rate of silkworm was 76,5%. [ Conclusion] The establishment of high-effective semen extraction technique of silkworm provides the technical basis for studies on other related techniques for silkworm sperm.展开更多

The water depth was reduced to 736m and then to 552m. As this was done, the mooting line lengths, EA value, and mass per meter were adjusted. Truncation rules and formulas for parameters and truncation factors were proposed. SPAR static characteristics were made to be consistent with those at full water depth. Then further time-domain coupled analysis was carried out for the SPAR when the mooting system experienced waves. The mooring lines were simulated by quasi-static method. Global responses and mooring line forces were found to agree well with test results for a prototype at that water depth. The truncation method proved to be robust and reliable.展开更多

METHODS: Gastric lesions were produced by oral gavage of aspirin (200 mg/kg) and HCI (0.15 mol/L, 8.0 mL/kg). 4-{3-[6-Amino-9-(5-ethylcarbamoyl-3,4- dihydroxy-tetrahydro-furan-2-yl)-9H-purin-2-yl]-prop-2- ynyl}-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid methyl ester (ATL-146e, 2.5-5μg/kg, IP) was injected 30 min before the administration of aspirin. Tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) concentration in gastric mucosa was measured as an index of neutrophil infiltration. Gastric mucosal concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were determined by ELISA. Also, we examined the effect of ATL-146e on tissue prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production and gastric secretion. RESULTS: Intragastric administration of aspirin induced multiple hemorrhagic erosions in rat gastric mucosa. The total length of gastric erosions (ulcer index) in control rats was 29.8±7.75 mm and was reduced to 3.8±1.42 mm alter pretreatment with 5.0 g/kg ATL-146e (P〈 0.01). The gastric contents of MPO and pro-inflammatory cytokines were all increased after the administration of aspirin and reduced to nearly normal levels by ATL-146e. Gastric mucosal PGE2 concentration was not affected by intraperitoneal injection of ATL-146e. CONCLUSION: The specific adenosine A2A receptor agonist, ATL-146e, has potent anti-ulcer effects presumably mediated by its anti-inflammatory properties.展开更多
