Specifically, ZrOCl2·8H2O was in-situ decomposed into HCl and ZrO（OH）2 in ethanol, which effectively catalyzed the dehydration/etherification of fructose to 5-ethoxymethylfurfural（EMF） and subsequent reductive etherification of EMF using ethanol as H-donor, respectively. EMF, BEMF and EL were detected as the main products, and total yield of detectable products of up to 65.4% was obtained at 200 ℃ in only 2 h.展开更多

TLJN has been shown to protect primary cultured hippocampal neurons. How-ever, its mechanism of action remains unclear. In the present study, primary cultured hippocampal neurons treated with Aβ1-42 （10 μmol/L） signiifcantly increased the release of lactate dehydroge-nase, which was markedly reduced by TLJN （2 μL/mL）, speciifcally by the component geniposide （26 μmol/L）, but not ginsenoside Rg1 （2.5 μmol/L）. hTe estrogen receptor inhibitor, ICI182780 （1 μmol/L）, did not block TLJN-or geniposide-mediated decrease of lactate dehydrogenase under Aβ1-42-exposed conditions. However, the phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase or mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway inhibitor, LY294002 （50 μmol/L） or U0126 （10 μmol/L）, respectively blo cked the decrease of lactate dehydrogenase mediated by TLJN or geniposide. hTerefore, these results suggest that the non-classical estrogen pathway （i.e., phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase or mitogen-activated protein kinase） is involved in the neuroprotective effect of TLJN, speciifcally its component, geniposide, against Aβ1-42-mediated cell death in primary cultured hippocampal neurons.展开更多

Methods The relevant seminal parameters of 32 normal donors and 35 patients with olioasthenospermia were measured by seminal routine analysis, sperm morphology and accessory, gentital glands markers.Results The percentage of normal spermatozoa, the function of sperm penetration through cervical mucus and the enzyme activity of neutral α-1,4-glucosidase significantly declined as compared with the control. There was a significant negative relationship between the semen volume and the sperm motility for the oligoasthenospermia （r= -0.415, P〈0.05）, and a significant positive relationship between the sperm count and the percentage of normal sperm （r=0.393, P〈0.05）.Conclusion The abnormal function of epididymis exists in patients with oligoasthenospermia. Sperm function,for the oligoasthenospermia declines with an increase of the percentage of the abnormal sperm. The poorer the spermatogenises function of the testis is, the higher the percentage of the abnormal sperm appears.展开更多
