玄武湖水、金川河水诱发的蚕豆根尖细胞微核

玄武湖、金川河分别是南京著名的风景地和重要的环城河流，多年来玄武湖、金川河的水质污染越来越引起人们的重视．南京市内不少工厂的工业废水及居民的大量生活污水流入其中，特别是有毒物质，包括酚、苯、汞、氰化物、直链烷基苯磺酸钠、有机磷等．这些物质对人体健康的远期效应倍受人们关注．为此对玄武湖水、金川河水引起蚕豆根尖细胞染色体损伤所产生微核的情况进行了研究，就二处水样对生物体的致突变性及对人体健康的潜在危害进行了讨论     

新型显色基质法鲎试验对肺部革兰氏阴性菌感染患者的诊断意义

应用新型显色基质法鲎试验（ＮＣＬＡ）测定４１例肺部革兰阴性（Ｇ＾－）细菌感染患者）Ｇ组）；３２例肺部非革兰氏阴性细菌感染患者（非Ｇ组）；４２例无细菌感染的肺病患者（无感染组）的血浆内毒素浓度、并与１００例健康者（对照）比较，Ｇ组血浆内毒素水平明显高于对照组，非Ｇ组及无感染组（Ｐ均〈０．０１）。提示新型显色基质法鲎试验有助于肺部Ｇ细菌感染作出快速，灵敏的诊断。

亚硫酸氢钠对泥鳅红细胞微核和核变形的诱导

以亚硫酸氢钠作为诱变剂，研究其不同浓度和染毒时间对泥鳅红细胞的损伤，结果发现：亚硫酸氢钠对泥鳅红细胞的损伤主要表现为微核率、核变形率和双核细胞率增高，细胞正常的分裂被干扰．在一定范围内，随着亚硫酸氢钠浓度的加大和染毒时间的延长，微核及核变形率增高，达到最高值后，反而开始随着浓度的继续加大，处理时间的继续延长，开始下降．诱发的微核率与核变形率和对照相比达到显著或极显著差异水平．此外，还探讨了微核的形成途径和亚硫酸氨钠对泥鳅红细胞染色体损伤的机理．     

Influence of high pressure treatment on rheological and other properties of egg white

Abstract

The paper deals with the influence of high pressure treatment of fresh egg white on its properties and protein composition (individual amino-acids predicted as a function of pressure and time levels). The rheological properties are changed by high pressure from Newtonian to non-Newtonian behaviour, with increasing apparent viscosity as the pressure and time increased. The pH, whipping ability, foam stability, gel strength of heat induced gels after treatment and the whole protein content, were also predicted.

The results showed that the foam stability is increased with increasing pressure and time of processing. The foam volume is also increased with pressure. The pH did not change with pressure or time of processing. Composition of proteins as indicated by individual amino-acids did not exhibit statistically important changes. Gel strength of heat induced gels prepared from previously pressured liquid whites showed no important change of values with pressure or time of treatment. The modulus of elasticity showed a decrease for samples pressured to 400 MPa for 5 up to 15 minutes.     

On The Fluorometric Method for the Measurement of β-Cyanoalanine Synthase Activity

Abstract

A modification of a fluorescence assay method for β-cyanoalanine synthase has been described which involves the direct coupling of the product of cyanide and cysteine to resazurin, to produce the fluorescent resosurfin, The fluorescence produced was found to be directly proportional to the rate of the reaction.     

Chemical composition,antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of extracts from the leaves of Smilax brasiliensis Sprengel (Smilacaceae)

The antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of petroleum ether and methanol extracts, fatty acids and methyl esters from leaves of Smilax brasiliensis were evaluated, and the composition of the extracts was determined. Palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids were major components of the extracts. For antioxidant activity, all samples exhibited IC₅₀ values lower than BHT (2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol). The extracts, fatty acids and methyl esters from S. brasiliensis presented no toxicity to larvae of the brine shrimp, Artemia salina. Among the purified substances, only methyl linolenate showed toxicity (LD₅₀ = 21.47 μg/mL). This study showed, for the first time, the composition of petroleum ether and methanol extracts from S. brasiliensis leaves, as well as the antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of extracts, fatty acids and methyl esters.     

Investigation and comparison of biological effects of regioselectively synthesized thiazole derivatives

In this study, anticancer, antibacterial (against hospital-isolated antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli strains), antifungal, and antioxidant effects of synthesized heterocyclic compounds 5 and 7 containing thiazole core were examined. Cytotoxicity testing was utilized against MCF-7 breast cancer cells via MTT cell viability assay. Antibacterial and antifungal activities were checked out according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines, and antioxidant properties were evaluated through scavenging 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals. Results showed the viability of breast cancer cell lines was reliant on concentration of heterocycles and time of incubation. Synthetic compounds exhibited excellent antibacterial and antifungal properties base on their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) values as well as high antioxidant activities according to their IC₅₀ values. Higher anticancer and antibacterial properties were observed with compound 7; on the contrary, thiazole 5 had better antioxidant effects. They can be introduced as potent antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer agents.
