By acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (A-PAGE) analysis,it was indicated that the electrophoresis mobility of gliadins from Crithopsis delileana (Schult) Roshev (2n=2x=14,KK) had obvious difference with those from common wheat in α, γ and ω region. Using homologous primers, two γ-gliadin genes (gli-Kr1 and gli-Kr2) were isolated from C. delileana,which had been deposited in the GenBank under accession numbers EU283818 and EU283821, respectively. Two γ-gliadin genes of C. delileana had the similar primary structures to the corresponding gene sequences from other wheat related species. The differences were mainly resulted from substitutions,insertions and deletions involving single amino acid residues or motifs of γ-gliadins. The repetitive domains of gli-Kr1 and gli-Kr2 from C. delileana are shorter than most of other sequences. By the alignment of γ-gliadin genes from A, B, D, Am, Au, S, Sl, Ssh, Ss and Sb genomes of Triticum and Aegilops, R genome of Secale (γ-secalin), Ee genome of Lophopyrum and K genome of Crithopsis in Triticeae, phylogenetic analysis indicated that two γ-gliadin genes of C. delileana could be clustered together with a γ-gliadin genefrom Ssh genome of Aegilops by an interior paralleled branch. It was the first time that the γ-gliadin genes encoded by K genome of C. delileana were characterized. These could offer precious information for better understanding the qualities associated with gliadins, the response in coeliac disease and studying the evolutionary relationship of gliadins in Triticeae.

The α-gliadins from Crithopsis delileana (Schult) Roshev (2n=2x=14, KK) were investigated by Acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (A-PAGE) analysis. It was indicated that the electrophoresis mobility of gliadins from C.delileana had obvious difference with those from common wheat in α, γand ω region. Using primers designed from published sequences of α-gliadin genes, three α-gliadin genes were isolated from C. delileana, which were designated as gli-ka1,gli-ka2 and gli-ka3, respectively. Two in-frame stop codons were found in the coding sequences of gli-ka3, indicating that gli-ka3 could be a pseudogene. The gli-ka2 was a gliadin with an odd number of cysteines, resulting from a non-synonymous mutation. This change might lead to the interactive behavior of gli-ka2. Three α-gliadin genes of C. delileana had the similar but not identical primary structures to the corresponding gene sequences from other wheat related species. By the alignment of α-gliadin genes from Triticeae,phylogenetic analysis indicated that three α-gliadin genes of C. delileana clustered together with all α-gliadin genes from Ee genome of Lophopyrum elongatum by an interior paralleled branch.

Using RT-PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends, two new full-length cDNAs of SAD (TaSAD1 and TaSAD2) were obtained from a hardiest winter wheat cultivar (Mironovskaya808). Sequence comparison analysis showed that the deduced amino acid sequences of TaSAD1 and TaSAD2 had high similarity to those of other reported SAD proteins. They were also different each other by some substitutions, insertions and/or deletions involving single amino acid residues or motifs. Based on evolution analysis, it was clear that all SAD genes from Poaceae were closer than those from other genus such as Arabidopsis,Glycine, Triadica, Brassica, Sesamum and Bassia. All SAD genes clustered into two major groups in Poaceae. Meanwhile,TaSAD1 and TaSAD2 were clustered into different groups. The tertiary structure prediction indicated that both TaSAD1 and TaSAD2 proteins were a compact globular protein and their model structures almost were the same.

Fu-Qiang An,Rui-Yan Wu,Zhi-Guo Yuan,Tuo-Ping Hu,Jian-Feng Gao 대한화학회 2017 대한화학회지 Vol.61 No.5

Efficiently removing Al(III) from rare earth is very significant because even trace amount of Al(III) can cause serious harm to the rare earth materials. In this paper, a nitrogen-containing activated carbon, AC-P700, was synthesized using peas as raw materials. The AC-P700 was characterized by surface area analyzer, FT-IR, and XPS methods. The adsorption and recognition properties of AC-P700 towards Al(III) were investigated, and the recognition mechanism was also analyzed. The BET special surface area of AC-P700 was 1277.1 m2·g−1, and the average pore diameter was 1.90 nm. The AC-P700 possesses strong adsorption affinity and excellent recognition selectivity towards Al(III). The adsorption capacity for Al(III) could reach to 0.53 mmol·g−1, and relative selectivity coefficients relative to La(III) and Ce(III) is 9.6 and 8.7, respectively. Besides, ACP700 possesses better regeneration ability and reusability.

Zhi-Hui Tan,Zhen-Fu Chen,Xiao-Fei Pei,Xue-Xun Guo,Shuang-Hong Pei 한국정밀공학회 2016 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.17 No.3

This paper presented a new type of integrated EHB system. The EHB consisted of a compact three-chamber structure of master cylinder and mode switching valves. This allowed for the easy implementation of three different modes: normal mode, failsafe mode and ABS mode. In normal mode, a PWM control method was proposed for pressure regulation that took into account overshoot and hysteresis. To provide a favorable pedal feeling, a pedal stroke simulator was designed and integrated with the master cylinder. The failsafe and ABS modes were verified and the performance of the EHB in the three modes was evaluated using co-simulation and a bench test.

Zhi-Rong Zhong,Zhi-rong Zhang,Ji Liu,Yong Deng,Hong-wei Zhang,Yao Fu,Qing-guo Song,Qin He 대한약학회 2007 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.30 No.1

A novel non-viral gene delivery system, Procationic-Liposome-Protamine-DNA complexes (PLPD) which could further adsorb transferrin on the surface as a targeting ligand to form Tf- PLPD, was prepared and characterized before and after lyophilization. The size distribution of Tf-PLPD was in the range of 240 ± 12 nm and the zeta potential was -24.10 ± 2.5 mV. The transfection efficiencies of PLPD and Tf-PLPD were 12.18 ± 3.8 and 24.26 ± 2.6 mU β-galactosidase/ mg protein respectively. The lyophilization and the presence of serum didn’t affect the tansfectivities of PLPD or Tf-PLPD. Compared to LipofectamineTM 2000 (Invitrogen, U.S.A.), the procationic liposomes had less cytotoxicity to cells. In summary the procationic lipoplex described here, combining the condensing effect of protamine and the targeting capability of Tf, was a perspective non-viral vector for gene delivery system.

Salmonellosis is a highly contagious bacterial disease that threatens both human and poultry health. Tests that can detect Salmonella in the field are urgently required to facilitate disease control and for epidemiological investigations. Here, we combined loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) with a chromatographic lateral flow dipstick (LFD) to rapidly and accurately detect Salmonella. LAMP primers were designed to target the Salmonella invA gene. LAMP conditions were optimized by adjusting the ratio of inner to outer primers, MgSO₄ concentration, dNTP mix concentration, amplification temperature, and amplification time. We evaluated the specificity of our novel LAMP-LFD method using six Salmonella species and six related non-Salmonella strains. All six of the Salmonella strains, but none of the non-Salmonella strains, were amplified. LAMP-LFD was sensitive enough to detect concentrations of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Pullorum genomic DNA as low as 89 fg/μl, which is 1,000 times more sensitive than conventional PCR. When artificially contaminated feed samples were analyzed, LAMP-LFD was also more sensitive than PCR. Finally, LAMP-LFD gave no false positives across 350 chicken anal swabs. Therefore, our novel LAMP-LFD assay was highly sensitive, specific, convenient, and fast, making it a valuable tool for the early diagnosis and monitoring of Salmonella infection in chickens.

Objective: To explore the methods and safety of general abnormal anatomical layers and structure in rhytidectomy, which is also of clinical significance. In this group, 39 patients with static and dynamic deformities formed at different levels after liposuction and thread technique more than one time were treated with stable and active separation skills in high SMAS facelift operation. The results showed that the patients of this group could get the same effect of younger postoperative operation as “initial face” and solve dynamic adhesion deformity. Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound were performed before operation, focusing on the abnormal changes of facial soft tissue. The results showed that the signal of the foreign body, the position and texture of scar, the relationship between scar and masseter fascia, buccal fat pad, and whether there was tissue defect or hyperplasia. In the operation, the normal separation was made in the second and fourth layers of the previously safe and easy to separate plane, instead of in the dense one or two layers of the scar. It is an alternative microsurgical separation technique. The key point is to separate the incomplete SMAS flap to achieve the expected good effect of rhytidectomy, release the scar adhesion and facial spasm. At the same time, the severed injury of facial nerve branches should be strictly prevented. Results: 74 cases of facelift were taken in recent eight months and 67 patients were treated with micro plastic surgery. Among them, 39 patients received more than one facial liposuction and more than one thread lift. In the scar formed by liposuction and thread technology, liposuction is especially serious; liposuction can still absorb the structural layer, and scar directly involves the SMAS and buccal fat pad envelope containing facial nerve branches, one of which directly causes the injury of the mandibular marginal branch. Most of the chronic granuloma scar formed after the degradation of the thread technology is in the facial space, which causes the scar atresia of the space. The flap and SMAS flap of 39 cases were separated, most of which were facial nerve branches in scar. All of them were difficult to separate and form the SMAS flap of superficial temporal fascia-Orbicularis oculi-platysma, and 89.6% of the excellent facelift effect was obtained. Facial nerve injury was found in 2 cases, 1 case was right mandible marginal branch traction injury, and the other side was left corner nerve injury. In the process of recovery. Conclusion: For patients with facial liposuction and thread technique, doctors must be prepared for the difficult separation of scar adhesion and have a high risk of facial nerve branch disconnection. If we don’t pursue the rejuvenation effect, it will lead to the existence of surgical effect discount, bilateral asymmetry, and dynamic adhesion deformity.
