Study on Release Properties of Slow Release Urea Coated by Industrial Lignin

This study aimed to investigate the release properties of slow release ure- a coated by industrial lignin and the influences of temperature, pH and post-ripening period on the release of nutrients in coated urea. According to the experimental results, the release of nutrients in coated fertilizers showed an S-shaped curve; on the 28th d, the nutrient release rate reached 73.77%; the differential solubility was 1.83%, and the theoretical release period was 50.25 d. The release of nutrients was significantly influenced by temperature. As the incubation temperature rose from 25 to 40 ℃, preliminary solubility increased from 8.03% to 16.24%; differential solubility increased from 1.83% to 1.88%; theoretical release period was reduced from 51.25 d to 45.55 d. The release of nutrients was promoted by H＋ and OH-. After they were placed at room temperature within 30 d, coated fertilizers exhibited the optimal release properties.

Nontoxic Marine Anti-fouling Coating Containing Capsaicin

This paper summarizes a nontoxic Anti-fouling coating utilizing capsaicin as an anti-fouling agent. The capsaicin constituent used in the coating has a rating from about 100 000 to about 1 500 000 Scoville Heat Units. The capsaicin is mixed with a silicon dioxide and then solubilized into a free-flowing homogeneous liquid oleoresin composition by adding a solvent to increase solubility and facilitate mixing. The oleoresin capsaicin liquid solution is mixed with a suitable corrosion resistant epoxy resin, which is then mixed with a hardening catalyst and applied to the surface to be treated.

Abnormal Change in Body Weight and Non-Fasting Blood Glucose Levels of Mouse Strain C57BL/6J in Generating Type 2 Diabetes Model

The commercially available inbred obesity-prone C57BL/6J （B6） and outbred stock ICR mice （3-week old） purchased from a breeder of Beijing were weaned onto high-fat diet （HFD）, HFD-3% fructose water （HFDF） and standard rodent chow, respectively. After exposure to the diets for six weeks, HFD and HFDF fed mice were injected intraperitoneally with streptozotocin （STZ, 100mg/kg body weight） and kept on the same diet for next four weeks. Body weight was recorded weekly. Non-fasting blood glucose levels of HFD and HFDF fed mice were measured before and after STZ injections. The body weight of HFD-fed and HFDF-fed B6 mice were significantly lower than that of the control, but body weight of HFD-fed and HFDF-fed ICR mice were significantly higher than that of the control. After injection of STZ, blood glucose levels were above the stardardized criterion （11 mmol/L） for the diabetes mouse model in both HFD and HFDF fed ICR mice, but reverse in B6 mice. The type 2 diabetes model was generated successfully in ICR but not in B6 mice, regardless of whether fructose was supplied. The current results indicated that ICR mouse is still a useful and economical strain for HFD-induced/STZ-treated type 2 diabetes model, and that some variation may occur in the genetic composition among B6 mice bred by different breeders.

The results showed that when the application amount of nitrogen fertilizer was reduced by 20%, the application of silicon, zinc and boron did not reduce the yield of rice, but reduced the incidence of panicle blast in rice and optimized the structure of rice production.

Preparation and application of g-C_3N_4-ZnS-DNA nanocomposite with enhanced electrocatalytic activity

We successfully designed and prepared a g-C3N4-ZnS-DNA nanocomposite by a simple method and systematically investigated its morphology,microstructure,and electrocatalytic properties.The as-prepared g-C3N4-ZnS-DNA nanocomposite possessed the electrocatalytic activity of g-C3N4-ZnS and the conductivity of DNA.The presence of DNA was found to enhance the electrocatalytic response of the nanocomposite towards environmental hormones,e.g.pentachlorophenol and nonylphenol,owing to the interaction between g-C3N4-ZnS and DNA,indicating that a stable nanocomposite was formed.The three components showed synergistic effects during electrocatalysis.Electrochemical impedance spectra indicated that the g-C3N4-ZnS-DNA nanocomposite dramatically facilitated the electron transfer of a modified electrode.The co-doping of g-C3N4 film with ZnS and DNA doubled the electrochemical response of the modified electrode in comparison with that of unmodified g-C3N4 film.The detection limits（3 S/N） of pentachlorophenol and nonylphenol were3.3×10^-9 mol L^-1.Meanwhile,we propose a possible Z-scheme mechanism for electron transfer in the g-C3N4-ZnS-DNA nanocomposite and the possible pentachlorophenol and nonylphenol electrocatalytic oxidation mechanism.The g-C3N4-ZnS-DNA nanocomposite-modified electrode was demonstrated to be effective for electrochemical sensing of trace environmental hormones in water samples.

Fertilizer-Induced Advances in Corn Growth Stage and Quantitative Definitions of Nitrogen Deficiencies

Evidence that nitrogen (N) fertilization tends to accelerate maturation as well as increase rates of growth has received little attention when diagnosing N deficiencies in corn (Zea mays L.).Such a tendency could be a potential source of errors when the diagnosis is solely based on comparing plants with different rates of growth.Whether N fertilization could accelerate rates of growth and maturation was tested in a field study with 12 paired plots representing relatively large variability in soil properties and landscape positions.The plots were located under conditions where preplant N fertilization reduced or avoided temporary N shortages for some plants but did not reduce for other plants early in the season.We measured corn heights to the youngest leaf collar,stages of growth and chlorophyll meter readings (CMRs). The added N advanced growth stages as well as increased corn heights and CMRs at any given time.Fertilization effects on corn heights,growth stages and ear weights were statistically significant (P<0.05) despite substantial variability associated with landscape.Reductions in growth due to a temporary shortage of N within a growth stage might be partially offset by longer periods of growth within that stage to physiological maturity.Temporary shortages of N,therefore,may produce symptoms of N deficiency in situations where subsequent additions of N should not be expected to increase yields.Recognition of these two somewhat different effects (i.e.,increase growth rates and advance growth stages) on corn growth could help to define N deficiency more precisely and to improve the accuracy of diagnosing N status in production agriculture.

Antifibrotic Effects of Genistein and Quercetin In Vitro

Objective: To study the antifibrotic effects of genistein(GE) and quercetin(QU) on rat hepatic stellate HSC-T6 cell proliferation stimulated with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), collagen synthesis and type I procollagen messenger RNA (mRNA) expression stimulated with transforming growth factor b1 (TGFb1). Methods: Cell proliferation was measured by crystal violet staining assay. Collagen synthesis was determined by 3H-proline incorporation assay. Type I procollagen mRNA level was determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: GE (25~70 mmolL-1) and QU (6.25~50 mmolL-1) concentration-dependently attenuated PDGF-driven HSC-T6 cell proliferative activity. TGFb1-stimulated collagen synthesis was also reduced. This was associated with a decrease in type I procollagen mRNA expression, indicating an effect at a pretranslational level. Conclusion: GE and QU may have therapeutic potential against liver fibrosis by regulating PDGF and TGFb1 actions.

THE BIOGEOCHEMISTRY OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENTS IN THE JIULONG RIVER ESTUARY AND WESTERN XIAMEN BAY

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of photosynthetic pigments in samples from Western Xiamen Bay and the Jiulong River Estuary showed that their major carotenoids were fucoxanthin, peridinin, zeaxanthin, violaxanthin, and diadinoxanthin. Diatoms dominated in the spring bloom, dinoflagellates in summer. Violaxanthin and chlorophyll b indicated the appearance of chrysophytes and green algae, most of which were freshwater species. The high phytoplankton biomass region was located at the inner part of the bay. Diatoms and dinoflagellates dominated phytoplankton communities, contributing to over 50% of total biomass. All the main diagnostic carotenoids were significantly (P<0.01) correlated negatively to dissolved inorganic phosphorus, suggesting that they were limited by phosphorus. The high negative linear relationship (P<0.0001) between dissolved inorganic phosphorus and peridinin (dinoflagellates indicator) implied the potential of dissolved inorganic phosphorus for triggering red tide events in this region.

Grey correlation analysis of factors influencing maldistribution in feeding device of copper flash smelting

An experimental model of maldistribution was established and grey correlation analysis method was employed to describe quantitatively the maldistribution phenomenon in the feeding device of copper flash smelting.Particle motion in the feeding device was separated into uniform flow in chute and restricted slanting parabolic motion in distributor channel.Factors affecting particle velocity at the chute outlet and particle moving distance in the distributor channel,which also cause the maldistribution,were analyzed based on the assumption of pseudo fluid.Experiments were conducted to study the maldistribution using river sand.The results indicate obvious mass maldistribution and an even higher degree with the increase of feeding mass rate;meanwhile,size maldistribution is negligible.Also,feeding intensity has a larger impact on circumferential maldistribution than on radial maldistribution.Based on the experimental results of the eight factors impacting the maldistribution,grey relation of each factor was calculated using grey correlation analysis.The importances of these factors were sequenced.The results show that a proper adjustment of the structure will ameliorate the maldistribution phenomenon in the feeding device of copper flash smelting.

Blocking effects of genistein on cell proliferation and possible mechanism in human gastric carcinoma

AIM: To study the blocking effects of genistein on cell proliferation cycle in human gastric carcinoma cells (SGC-7901) and the possible mechanism. METHODS: MTT assay was applied in the detection of the inhibitory effects of genistein on cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle distribution. Immunocytochemical technique and Western blotting were performed to detect the protein expression of cyclin D_1, cyclin B_1 and p21^(waf1/cip1). RESULTS: Genistein significantly inhibited the growth and proliferation of human gastric carcinoma cells (SGC-7901). Seven days after treatment with different concentrations of genistein (2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0 μg/mL), the growth inhibitory rates were 11.2%, 28.8%, 55.3%, 84.7% respectively and cell cycles were arrested at the G(2)/ M phase. Genistein decreased cyclin D_1 protein expression and enhanced cyclin B_1 and p21^(waf1/cip1) protein expression in a concentration-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: The growth and proliferation of SGC-7901 cells can be inhibited by genistein via blocking the cell cycle, with reduced expression of cyclin D_1 and enhanced expression of cyclin B_1 and p21^(waf1/cip1) protein in the concentration range of 0-20 μg/mL.
