[Method] The 40 male Bal/c mice were divided into ovalbumin(OVA) positive control group, Coca's solution negative control group, blank control group and model group. Balb/c mice model was established by intraperitoneally injection of immunized Balb/c mice with OVA or Chinese lobster crude protein with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. IgE and histamine levels in serum after the second challenge were determined by ELISA method, and the specific IgE antibody titer was determined by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis test(PCA); additionally, spleen index and histological changes in the small intestine, as well as food allergy symptoms after challenge were also calculated or observed. [Results] After the last challenge, IgE content was(236.75 ±73.39) μg/L in the Chinese lobster crude protein group, revealing no difference with that in the OVA group, but significantly higher than that in either the Coca's solution group or the blank control group(P 0.01);histamine content in serum in the Chinese lobster crude protein group was(406.55±232.79), significantly higher than that in the blank control group(P0.01). In the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis test, IgE antibody titer reached 1/16 after the last challenge in the Chinese lobster crude protein group. Spleen index in both Chinese lobster crude protein group and OVA group was significantly greater than that in either the Coca's solution group or the blank control group(P0.01). What's more, infiltration of inflammatory cells like lymphocytes and eosnophils at the lamina propria of intestinal mucosa was also observed both Chinese lobster crude protein group and OVA group. [Conclusion] This study established Balb/c mice model for food allergy caused by Chinese lobsters; serum IgE and ELISA assay and specific IgE antibody titer in PCA test can be used for the in vitro identification and evaluation of food allergies caused by Chinese lobsters.展开更多

The optimum juice as carbon source for continuous lactic acid production by medium for lactic acid production was pure longan juice with 120 g/L sugar concentration and among the different nitrogen sources were added to the longan juice (yeast extract, tryptic soy, urea, (NH4)2SO4 and NaNO3), yeast extract had the most efficiency. Yeast extract (10 g/L) without adding minerals to longan juice could produced the maximum lactic acid concentration of 38.91 ± 0.190 g/L in 60 h and the yield of 0.460± 0.122 g/g with the productivity of 0.649± 0.002 g/Lh in 2 liters flask. Batch fermentation was conducted in 2 liters fermentor and 41.38± 0.030 g/L lactic acid was produced in 48 h with the yield of 0.398 ± 0.215 g/g and the productivity was 0.862 ± 0.001 g/L h. The continuous fermentation using 2 liters fermentor as a high productivity for lactic acid (1.091 ± 0.001 g/L h) was achieved at dilution rate (D) of 0.0685 h-1.展开更多

Methods: The asthma guinea pig model was established with spray of ovalbumin (OVA). Fifteen days later, the guinea pigs were administered by intra-gastric perfusion of Wuwei Dilong Decoction once a day for 8 consecutive days. Blood samples were taken for testing the total leucocytes, eosinophil (EOS), lymphocytes, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4). Results: In the asthma model group, the total leucocytes, EOS and lymphocytes were all increased, with significant differences as compared with the different dosage Wuwei Dilong Decoction groups (P〈0.01 or P〈0.05). The serum LTB4 in the asthma model group was significantly increased and IFN-γ decreased. After administration of Wuwei Dilong Decoction of the large, medium and small dosages, LTB4 decreased, while IFN-7 increased (P〈0.05 or P〈0.01). Conclusion: Wuwei Dilong Decoction can inhibit infiltration and diffusion of the inflammatory cells in the asthma model guinea pigs, and regulate LTB4 and IFN-γ, which is probably one of the important mechanisms of Wuwei Dilong Decoction for relieving asthma.展开更多
