Study on Screening of Fungi with High-resistance against Chromium and on Related Characteristics

[Objective] The aim was to separate chromium-resistant microorganism from soil contaminated by chromium.[Method] Separation and purification technique was used as follows：different concentrations of Cr^6＋ were added into medium,and chromium-resistant fungi were screened after separations and domestications.The selected fungi were under preliminary identification according to its morphological and colony characteristics.Then,related biological characteristics were studied,including measurement of growth curve,growing effects by temperature,pH value and osmotic pressure.[Result] The Cr（VI） with concentration of 1 000 mg/L was separated and selected from soils in ten different places contaminated seriously by heavy metal in adjacent region of Yulin City.Considering its morphological and colony characteristics,it was preliminarily identified as saccharomycetes,which can well grow within 15-37 ℃,and whose most suitable temperature was 28℃.Bacterial strain can grow well with pH of 4-10,and the optimum pH was 7.2;besides,it can grow well with NaCl concentration of 0.5%-5.0%.Through the experiment,the bacteria was found with resistance not only to chromium,but also to heavy metals such as Pb＋Cu,Cu＋Fe,Pb＋Fe,and Pb＋Cu＋Fe.[Conclusion] The fungi selected from the experiment were of good adaptability to natural environment,and it also had resistance to other heavy metals.

Genetic Study on JS399-19 Resistance in Hyphal Fusion of Fusarium graminearum by Using Nitrate Nonutilizing Mutants as Genetic Markers

Twenty-two nitrate nonutilizing （nit） mutants were recovered from five wild-type isolates of Fusarium graminearum and fifty nit mutants were recovered from three JS399-19-resistant mutants of F. graminearum cultured on MMC medium. Some biological properties were compared between nit mutants and their parental isolates. The results showed that there were no significant differences in growth rate, cultural characters or pathogenicity between JS399-19-resistant nit mutants and their parental isolates. But the conidial production and the sexual reproduction ability changed to some extent. There was no cross resistance toward chlorate and JS399-19 in F. graminearum and the resistance could be stable through 20-time subcultures. Therefore, the nit could be used as a genetic marker for studying the genetics of JS399-19 resistance in E graminearum, which was used to study JS399-19 resistance transferability in hyphal fusion. Resistance in JS399-19 could not be transferred by hyphal fusion or could be transferred with low chance between two compatible isolates, which would delay the development of JS399-19 resistance in the field.

Re-evaluation of antitumor effects of combination chemotherapy with interferon-α and 5-fluorouracil for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma

AIM： To evaluate the efficacy of combination chemotherapy with interferon-α （IFNα） and 5-fluorouracil （5-FU） in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）. METHODS： Twenty-eight HCC patients in advanced stage were enrolled in the study. They were treated with IFNα/ 5-FU combination chemotherapy. One cycle of therapy lasted for 4 wk. IFNα （3×10^6 units） was subcutaneously injected thrice weekly on days 1, 3, and 5 for 3 wk, and 5-FU （500 mg/d） was administered via the proper hepatic artery for 5 consecutive days per week for 3 wk. No drugs were administered during the 4th wk. The effect of combination chemotherapy was evaluated in each patient alter every cycle based on the reduction of tumor volume. RESULTS： Alter the 1^st cycle of therapy, 16 patients showed a partial response （PR, 57.1%） but none showed a complete response （CR, 0%）. At the end of therapy, the number of patients who showed a CR, PR, or no response （NR） was 1, 10, and 17, respectively. The response rate for therapy （CR＋PR） was 21.5%. Biochemical tests before therapy were compared between responsive （CR＋PR） and non-responsive （NR） patients, but no significant differences were found for any of the parameters examined, indicating that no reasonable predictors could be identified in our analysis. CONCLUSION： Attempts should be made to discriminate between responders and non-responders by evaluating tumor size alter the first cycle of IFNα/5-FU combination chemotherapy. For non-responders, therapy should not proceed to the next cycle, and instead, different combination of anticancer drugs should be explored. 2005 The WJG Press and Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved

Microstructure,anticorrosion,biocompatibility and antibacterial activities of extruded Mg−Zn−Mn strengthened with Ca

To find suitable biodegradable materials for implant applications,Mg−6Zn−0.3Mn−xCa(x=0,0.2 and 0.5,wt.%)alloys were prepared by semi-continuous casting followed by hot-extrusion technique.The microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg−6Zn−0.3Mn−xCa alloys were investigated using the optical microscope,scanning electron microscope and tensile testing.Results indicated that minor Ca addition can slightly refine grains of the extruded Mg−6Zn−0.3Mn alloy and improve its strength.When 0.2 wt.%and 0.5 wt.%Ca were added,the grain sizes of the as-extruded alloys were refined from 4.8 to 4.6 and 4.2μm,respectively.Of the three alloys studied,the alloy with 0.5 wt.%Ca exhibits better combined mechanical properties with the ultimate tensile strength and elongation of 334 MPa and 20.3%.The corrosion behaviour,cell viability and antibacterial activities of alloys studied were also evaluated.Increasing Ca content deteriorates the corrosion resistance of alloys due to the increase of amount of effective cathodic sites caused by the formation of more Ca2Mg6Zn3 phases.Cytotoxicity evaluation with L929 cells shows higher cell viability of the Mg−6Zn−0.3Mn−0.5Ca alloy compared to Mg−6Zn−0.3Mn and Mg−6Zn−0.3Mn−0.2Ca alloys.The antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus is enhanced with increasing the Ca content due to its physicochemical and biological performance in bone repairing process.

Chemical Composition, Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of the Essential Oil and Methanol Extract from Mentha Iongifolia L. Hudson from North of Iran

This study was designed to evaluate antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the essential oil and methanol extract from Mentha longifolia L. hudson. Antioxidant activity was evaluated through 2,2-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl （DPPH） assay and β-carotene/linoleic acid assay. The essential oil and methanol extract were individually tested [disc-diffusion assay and evaluating minimum inhibition concentration （MIC）] against a number of bacteria. The essential oil showed strong antimicrobial activity against bacteria tested whereas the methanol extract almost remained inactive. In contrast, the extract showed much better activity than the essential oil in antioxidant activity assays employed, e.g. in the inhibition of free radical DPPH and β-carotene/linolcic acid systems. In the former, the extract was able to reduce the stable free radical DPPH with an IC50 of 55.3μg/mL while that of the oils were 10,630μg/mL. When compared to BHT （butylated hydroxytoluene）, a synthetic antioxidant, both showed weaker antioxidative potential. Similarly, in β-carotene/linoleic acid assay, these samples were not effectively able to inhibit the linoleic acid oxidation; exhibiting only 24% and 36% inhibitions at 2 mg/mL, respectively; both were far below than that of BHT. Total phenolic constituent of the extract was approximately 4.5 g/100 g as gallic acid equivalent. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy （GC-MS） analysis of the oil resulted in the identification of 45 constituents, ei^-piperitone epoxide, pulegone and piperitenone oxide being the main components. The results indicate that essential oil and extract ofM. longifolia L. hudson may be used as natural preservative in food against the agents of foodborne diseases and food spoilage.

Optical Density and Antimicrobial Characteristics of Georgian Propolis

Apiotherapy has been applied by Georgian people since time immemorial. Treatment with bee products in Georgia has been described in popular writings. Among bee products, honey and propolis are of most particular interest. Propolis is characterized by antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and analgesic properties. We have studied relationship between optical density and antimicrobial properties. Almost all samples of Georgian propolis are characterized by high optical density and antimicrobial activity. Studies have discovered that optical density was high in the samples of spring season. The maximal absorption values have been observed at a wavelength of 290-310 nm that is characteristic of flavonoids. Also, the sample with a relatively low optical density （Baghdati district） has exhibited antimicrobial activity that is conditioned not by polyphenols, but flavonoids.

The major components (mass fraction) in leaves are caryophyllene oxide (13.79%),n-hexadecanoic acid (11.91%) and β-caryophyllene (10.45%). Ten constituents are identified accounting for about 99.98% of the total volatile oil in the bark. Among these components,n-hexadecanoic acid (59.18%),linolic acid (12.70%) and butyl octyl phthalate (8.21%) are the major constituents. The oils exhibit strong antimicrobial activity and display more potent against bacteria than fungi.

Determination of the Antioxidant, Phytochemical and Antibacterial Profiles of Flowers from Selected Ornamental Plants in Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines

With the increasing interest on natural products discovery, utilization of plant parts which are commonly disregarded is another breakthrough. This study sought to determine the secondary metabolites present, phenolic contents, radical scavenging activities and antibacterial properties of 10 selected ornamental flowers which were Adenium obesum, Allamanda cathartica, Bougainvillea glabra, Catharanthus roseus, Caesalpinia pulcherrima, Heliconia subulata, Ixora coccinea, Mussaenda philippica, Tecoma stans and Torenia fournieri, from Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines. The ethanolic crude extracts were subjected to thin layer chromatography （TLC） phytochemical screening. Total phenolics expressed as mg AAE/g sample were determined through Folin-Ciocalteu method. Radical scavenging activities were measured using DPPH assay. Antibacterial activities were assessed through TLC bioautography. To quantify bacterial susceptibility of C. pulcherrima, MIC and MBC were employed in the ethyl acetate sub-fraction. TLC showed different types of phenolics, alkaloids, essential oils and terpenes. T. fournieri showed the highest total phenolics with 155 mg AAE/g while H. subulatahad showed the lowest with 3.50 mg AAE/g. Measurement of IC59 showed that H. subulata had the highest antioxidant activity followed by T. fournieri with 303 ppm and 320 ppm, respectively. H. subulata having the least amount of total phenolics had greatest radical scavenging activity. This indicates that other than phenolics, other metabolites can pose great antioxidant activities. The antibacterial testing showed that M. philippica, 1. coccinea, 1-1. subulata, C. pulcherrima and A. cathartica were bioactive against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coll. MIC and MBC of C. pulcherrima ethyl acetate sub-fraction is within the range of 2.5-10 mg/mL.
