The formation mechanism of complexes and their stereochemistry structures were investigated according to elemental analysis,infrared spectra and 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The extractions of the ligand for different divalent metal ions,such as Zn(Ⅱ ),Cd( Ⅱ) ,Cu( Ⅱ) ,Ni( Ⅱ ),Fe( Ⅱ) ,Sn( Ⅱ) ,Mn( Ⅱ) ,Pd( Ⅱ) ,Hg( Ⅱ) and Fe(Ⅲ),were investigated in sulphate solution,respectively. The results show the metal atom is coordinated by 4 sulfur atoms in a square-planar fashion,and the titled compound has not only powerful ability to coordinate with cadmium from aqueous solution with a high extractive rate about 61.20% and a relatively weak complexation for other divalent metals with the extractive rate from 2.46% to 36.66%,but also a good selectivity to Fe(Ⅲ ).展开更多

The effect of different conditions of alkali pre-treatment on chemical properties of agar was evaluated. Agar was extracted by various concentrations of NaOH (4%, 6% and 8%) and heated at different temperatures (70 ℃, 75 ℃ and 80 ℃) for different durations (2 h, 2.75 h and 3.5 h). The yields-molecular weight (Mw) and sulfate contents of extracted agar were analysed and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The yield was significantly increased at these treatments from 23.29% to 30.86%. Mw studied by HPLC ranged from (.12.45 ± 0.21) × 10^5 to (8.60 ± 2.40) × 10^5 Da. FTIR bands show sulfate groups in C4 and C6 ofgalactose and no sulfate group were found on both C2 of galactose and C2 of 3,6-anhydrogalactose. All treatments showed a high sulfate content that ranged from 5.4% to 10.1%. These properties were found to be significantly affected by the alkali pre-treatment concentration (p 〈 0.05). In conclusion, agar extracted in this study was considered acceptable for industrial application and the optimal conditions for extraction were found to be at 6% NaOH at 70 ℃ for 2 hours.展开更多

MIC values among the 7 experimental groups i.e. ginger, galabgal, hoan ngoc, ginger-galangal, galangal-hoan ngoc, ginger-hoan ngoc, ginger-galangal-hoan ngoc were in the range between (minimum-maximum) 0.078%-5%, 0.078%- 〉 5%, 0.156%- 〉 5%, 0.039%-0.625%, 0.0097%-0.315%, 0.156%-0.3125% and 0.0048%-0.625%, respectively. The combinations of three herbs (ginger-galangal-hoan ngoc) provided the lowest MIC of 0.0048% comparing with other experimental groups. In addition, median of MBC values were in the range of 2.5%, 2.5%, 〉 5.5%, 0.625%, 2.5% and 0.625%, respectively. The combination between galangal-hoan ngoc and ginger-hoan ngoc were synergistic. The low concentration level of herbs for the bactericidal effect was therefore in the modest range but provided high potency towards Campylobacter spp. compared with the other regimes of herbs.展开更多

Burk. (Fabaceae). G. decorticans, commonly known as "chafiar" or "chafiarcillo", is a traditional argentinean plant used as emollient, balsamic, antitussive, expectorant and anti-inflammatory. The stem bark was collected from San Francisco del Monte de Oro, San Luis, Argentina. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. Antioxidant activity was tested using 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical-scavenging activity (DPPH), 2,2"-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical scavenging activity (ABTS) and ferric ion-reducing power (RP-Fe) assays. Aqueous extract 10% p/v showed anti-inflammatory activity (3h, 48% inhibition, 5h 37% inhibition and 7h 17% inhibition) and antioxidant activity (DPPH, ICs0 (mg/mL) = 0.098 =1: 0.032; ABTS, ICs0 (mg/mL) = 0.022 ~ 0.343, RP-Fe IC50 (mg/mL) = 1.124 ~ 0.146). In the other hand, the ethanolic extract 5% p/v, presented anti-inflammatory activity (3h, 34% inhibition, 5h 38% inhibition and 7h 35% inhibition) and antioxidant activity (DPPH, IC50 (mg/mL) = 0.133 q- 0.027; ABTS, IC50 (mg/mL) = 0.086 + 0.262, RP-Fe IC50 (mg/mL) = 7.089 ± 0.104). These results suggest that, also fruits, the aqueous and ethanolic extracts from the stem bark of G. decorticans present significant anti-inflammatory activity and antioxidant properties.展开更多

Four clinical studies are on going in our institution and enrol patients with cardiac diseases, coronary disease and type 2 diabetes, patients with osteoarthritis. Density gradient is used to separate bone marrow mononuclear cells. Cell processing looses are significant. To find out critical control points we analysed processing process and differences in cell yields between operators performing cell extraction. Bone marrow mononuclear cells were isolated using Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. Cells were counted using flow cytometry for mononuclear cell total counts, CD34+ population count and viability analysis. The patients who underwent bone marrow aspiration followed by cell isolation received cell suspension for transplantation. Two cells processing for separate patients were performed at once. Same standard operation procedures were applied. Processing looses between operators performing cell extraction were analysed. Bone marrow samples from eight patients were processed. Mononuclear cells were extracted. Operator performances were compared. Operator A average bone marrow mononuclear cell yield in starting material was 9,97 ± 9,98 %, CD34+ population yield 75,46±79,67%. Operator B average bone marrow mononuclear cell yield in starting material was 24,68 ± 14,8 %, CD34+ population yield 70,42 ±44.84%. Operator A average cell viability in starting material was 45,24 ± 9,55%, after cell processing 42,96 ± 23,66 %. Operator B average cell viability in starting material was 49,85 ± 5,48%, after cell processing 69,52 ± 6,65 %.展开更多

Mango carotenoids are synthesized in mango fruit during ripening. A major by-product of mango fruit is the skin, which is available after the fruits is consumed or used, particularly in the preparation of jams and fruit juices by the fruit canning industry. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary mango skin (MS) or mango skin combined with paprika extracts (PE) on production performance, egg quality, and egg yolk polyphenols. Total of 60 44-week-old Boris Brown hens was assigned, based on egg production rate and body weight, to 6 groups (10 birds in each group). The laying hens were fed a basal diet (control group, 18 CP, 2,800 kcal/kg ME), a basal diet supplemented with 0.1% PE, 1% or 5% MS, or with a mixture of 0.1% PE with 1% or 5% MS respectively. During the three-week experimental feeding period, the birds had free access to feed and water. Feed consumption was measured weekly and egg production was recorded daily. The results for initial body weight, feed consumption, hen-day production, egg mass, mortality, and final body weight did not indicate any effects of the different treatments (P 〉 0.05). There were no significant differences (P 〉 0.05) in shell-breaking strength, shell thickness, shell ratio, yolk ratio or Haugh units, except in the case of egg yolk color. Roche yolk color fan scores were better in all experimental groups than in the control (P 〈 0.0001). The yolk color, yellow index, and ratio of redness to yellowness were greater (P 〈 0.0001) in the 0.1% PE, the 0.1% PE + 1% MS, and the 0.1% PE + 5% MS group than in the 1%, 5% MS, and control groups. Compared with the control, lightness was decreased significantly in the 0.1% PE, the 0.1% PE + 1% MS, and the 0.1% PE + 5% MS groups (P 〈 0.05), whereas redness was increased significantly in the 0.1% PE, 0.1% PE + 1% MS, and 0.1% PE + 5% MS groups (P 〈 0.0001). No significant differences among the treatments were observed in either yellowness or egg yolk polyphenols. The results of the present experiment indicate that dietary mango skin or mango skin combined with paprika extracts did not show adverse effects on production performance, egg quality or egg yolk polyphenols. Moreover, supplementation with only mango skin did not enhance egg yolk color.展开更多

Hull) plant. The highest values for total flavonoid content were obtained for samples extracted using ethanol-water mixture and ethyl acetate. Cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) method, scavenging ability on 1,1-diphenyl-2-pirylhydrazyl radicals (DPPH) radicals and chelating activity on Fe2~ ions have been used for evaluation of antioxidant activity of the extracts. Ethanolic fraction exhibited the lowest reducing capacity, despite a heather sample used. The extracts of cultivated heather exhibited significant scavenging effect on DPPH radicals, and ethanol and ethanol-water fractions were found to be the most effective. The metal-chelating effect of the extracts increased in the order: ethanol 〈 ethyl acetate 〈 ethanol-water 〈 water. The results may be helpful for better utilization of heather flowers extracts as potential pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredient.展开更多

There were no significant differences (P 〉 0.05) in shell-breaking strength, shell thickness, shell ratio, yolk ratio or Haugh units, except in the case of egg yolk color. Roche yolk color fan scores were better in all experimental groups than in the control (P 〈 0.0001). The yolk color, yellow index, and ratio of redness to yellowness were greater (P 〈 0.0001) in the 0.1% PE, the 0.1% PE + 1% MS, and the 0.1% PE + 5% MS group than in the 1%, 5% MS, and control groups. Compared with the control, lightness was decreased significantly in the 0.1% PE, the 0.1% PE + 1% MS, and the 0.1% PE + 5% MS groups (P 〈 0.05), whereas redness was increased significantly in the 0.1% PE, 0.1% PE + 1% MS, and 0.1% PE + 5% MS groups (P 〈 0.0001). No significant differences among the treatments were observed in either yellowness or egg yolk polyphenols. The results of the present experiment indicate that dietary mango skin or mango skin combined with paprika extracts did not show adverse effects on production performance, egg quality or egg yolk polyphenols. Moreover, supplementation with only mango skin did not enhance egg yolk color.
文摘This study evaluated the effect of four different solvent, i.e., water, ethanol, water-ethanol mixture and ethyl acetate, on the antioxidant activities of wild and cultivated heather (Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull) plant. The highest values for total flavonoid content were obtained for samples extracted using ethanol-water mixture and ethyl acetate. Cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) method, scavenging ability on 1,1-diphenyl-2-pirylhydrazyl radicals (DPPH) radicals and chelating activity on Fe2~ ions have been used for evaluation of antioxidant activity of the extracts. Ethanolic fraction exhibited the lowest reducing capacity, despite a heather sample used. The extracts of cultivated heather exhibited significant scavenging effect on DPPH radicals, and ethanol and ethanol-water fractions were found to be the most effective. The metal-chelating effect of the extracts increased in the order: ethanol 〈 ethyl acetate 〈 ethanol-water 〈 water. The results may be helpful for better utilization of heather flowers extracts as potential pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredient.
