[ Method] The last instar larvae of Galleria mellonella and Tenebrio molitor were used as insect hosts. The infectivity of nematode was determined, and its heat tolerance ability was measured by using water bath method. [Result] The infectivity of the nematodes was lower at the dosages of 10, 20 and 40 IJs/larva, but higher at the dosages of 80,160, 32.0 and 640 IJs/larva. The corrected mortality (CM) of G. mellonella at 96 h and T. molitor at 120 h were both above 90%. The nematode infectivity was highest at the dosage of 80 IJs/larva when the hosts' CM reached 100% after 120 h. About 25% nematode individuals could survive in 36℃ water bath for 2 d in the densities of 1 000 -5 000 IJ/ml, after 6 d, there were still 3% -9% individuals survived, until 9 d the nematodes died totally. A hundred percent of the nematode individuals died in 38℃ and 40 ~C water bath after 6 h and 2 h, respectively. [Conclusion] Rhabditis ( O. ) sp. has a higher potential to cause the host mortality and represents heat tolerance up to 36℃.展开更多

The morphology, crystallite size and zeta potential of the HAp/Arg were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and zeta potential analyzer. The loading and protecting properties of HAp/Arg to DNA were tested by electrophoresis. Its cytotoxicity was also measured in Hela cells and HAEC cells by MTT and LDH, and its transfection efficiency was examined by fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry. The results reveal that HAp/Arg is short rod-like and nano single crystal, the mean diameter is 50-90 nm and zeta potential is 35.8 mV at pH 7.4. HAp/Arg to DNA can be condensed by electrostatic effect and protect DNA against degradation in DNase I, and shows high transfection efficiency without cytotoxicity. These results suggest that HAp/Arg can be a promising alternative as a novel gene delivery system.展开更多

Compared with conventional dyeing, the acrylic yarn was dyed with Cationic Turquoise Blue X-GB at 85℃ in the presence of accelerant and absence of accelerant, respectively. The influence of low temperature dyeing aceelerant on the dyeing mechanism of acrylic fiber dyed with cationic dye was analyzed through kinetics and thermodynamics study. The results show that adding dyeing accelerant ran heighten the equilibrium dye-uptake, dyeing rate constants, diffusion coefficients, and shorten half-dyeing time for acrylic fiber dyed with cationic dyes. Furthermore, the partition coefficient, the standard affinity, and the dye saturation value also increased in the dyeing at 85℃.展开更多

The highest triploid rate obtained was 84.5% in nauplius stage. The effect of heat shock treatment on meiosis and cleavage of eggs was investigated in this work aimed to establish efficient procedures for triploid induction and to gain understanding of the mechanism of triploid production. Three pronuclei that could be observed in the treated eggs under fluorescence microscope developed into triploid embryos. Some abnormal chromosome behavior was observed in heat shocked eggs.展开更多

It encompasses a broad spectrum of clinical presentations, ranging from unapparent or mild illnesses to fulminant hemorrhagic processes. Among the various complications of HFRS, acute pancreatitis is a rare find. In this report, based on clinical data, laboratory and radiologic examination findings, we describe a clinical case, with HFRS from Dobrava virus, associated with acute pancreatitis. The patient was successfully treated by supportive management. Clinicians should be alert to the possibility of HFRS when examining patients with epidemiological data and symptoms of acute pancreatitis.展开更多

Although the Prem determination is a simple procedure, the possibility of estimating accurate values of this index from easily and/or routinely determined soil properties can be very useful for practical purposes. The present research evaluated the Prem estimation through multiple regression analysis in which routinely determined soil chemical data, soil clay content and soil pH measured in 1 mol L-1 NaF (pHNaF) figured as Prem predictor variables. The Prem can be estimated with acceptable accuracy using the above-mentioned approach, and pHNaF not only substitutes for clay content as a predictor variable but also confers more accuracy to the Prem estimates.展开更多
