Abstract: During the development and regeneration of
skeletal muscle, many growth factors, such as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, FGF-2) and myostatin, have
been shown to play regulating roles. bFGF contributes to promote proliferation and to inhibit differentiation of skeletal
muscle, whereas myostatin plays a series of
contrasting roles. In order to elucidate whether the expression of bFGF has any relationship with the expression of myostatin in skeletal muscle cells, we constructed a
eukaryotic expression vector for the expression of exogenous bFGF in murine C
2C
12 myoblasts. Quantitative
RT-PCR assays indicated that with the increase of the expression of exogenous bFGF gene, the expression of endogenous myostatin gene was suppressed at mRNA level and protein level.

Abstract: A thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)
(PNIPAM) grafted gel, which comprises hydrophilic backbone and freely mobile
PNIPAM graft chains, was synthesized by reversible addition fragmentation chain
transfer (RAFT) polymerization and end-linking processes. Functional PNIPAM
bearing dithiobenzoate end group (-C(=S)S-R)
was prepared first, and then it was reacted with divinyl compounds to obtain gel. In order to adjust the composition of the gels, two divinyl compounds, N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDAC), were used. The cross-linking
polymerization mechanism was proposed. The swelling and deswelling kinetics of the hydrogels were measured. The gels
exhibit rapid deswelling kinetics. At the same time,
they show rapid swelling kinetics within 30 min, whereas a conventional
PNIPAM-co-PEG-co-BIS gel with the same feed composition requires more than 10
It to reach swelling equilibrium. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Non-isotopic polymerase chain reaction (PCR)based single-strand conformation polymorphism and sequence
analyses of the second intemal transcribed spacer
(ITS-2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) were utilized
to genetically characterise ascaridoids from dogs and cats from
China
by comparison with those from other countries. The
study showed that Toxocara canis, Toxocara cati, and Toxascaris leonina from
China
were genetically the same as those from other
geographical origins. Specimens from cats from
Guangzhou
,
China
, which were morphologically consistent with Toxocara malaysiensis, were the
same genetically as those from
Malaysia
, with the exception of a polymorphism in the ITS-2
but no unequivocal sequence difference. This is the first report of T malaysiensis in cats outside of
Malaysia
(from where it was originally described), supporting
the proposal that this species has a broader geographical distribution. The
molecular approach employed provides a powerful tool for elucidating the biology,
epidemiology, and zoonotic significance of T malaysiensis.

Abstract: An 8-week feeding experiment was conducted to
quantify the dietary methionine requirement of
juvenile cobia (initial weight of 11.61 +/-
0.16 g
, mean +/- SD) reared in indoor flow-through and aerated
aquaria. Six amino acid test diets (44% CP and 16% lipid), using fish meal and
wheat gluten as intact protein sources supplemented with crystalline amino
acids, were formulated to contain graded levels of methionine (0.61%, 0.83%, 1.05%, 1.30%, 1.48% and 1.68% of dry diet, respectively) at a
constant dietary cystine level of 0.67%. Each diet
was randomly assigned to three aquaria. Growth performance and feed utilization
were significantly influenced by the dietary methionine levels (P < 0.05). Maximum weight gain, specific growth rate and protein
efficiency ratio occurred at 1.05% dietary methionine (P < 0.05). The hepatosomatic index, viscerosomatic index and condition factor were not
significantly affected by dietary methionine levels
(P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in protein, lipid, ash and
moisture contents in whole body or muscle, also red blood cell count and plasma
protein content for fish fed graded methionine levels
of diets; however, hemoglobin, hematocrit, leukocyte,
plasma glucose and triacylglycerol concentrations
showed significant differences among these treatments (P < 0.05). Methionine concentration in plasma significantly increased
with an increase of dietary methionine (P < 0.05).
Quadratic regression analysis of specific growth rate against dietary methionine levels indicated that the optimal dietary methionine requirement for maximum growth and feed
utilization of juvenile cobia is 1.19% of dry diet in the presence of 0.67% cystine (corresponding to 2.64% of dietary protein on a dry
weight basis). (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Six benzimidazolylphenoxyacetic acid O-acetylxylopyranosyl and O-acetylgalactopyranosyl esters were synthesized through esterification reactions at room temperature using 4-dimethylaminopyridine as a catalyst and triethylamine as a deacidification reagent. Their structure was confirmed by IR, H-1 NMR spectra, MS, and
elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds are all of P-configuration. The
results show that DMAP is an effective catalyst; the yields can reach 63.6%.
The above esters showed an improved antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic
virus.

Abstract: The effects of aromatizable 17 alpha-methyltestosterone (MT) and non-aromatizable 17 alpha-methyldihydrotestosterone (MDHT) on sex inversion in
red-spotted grouper, Epinephelus akaara,
were investigated. Fish were implanted with MT, MDHT and MT+AI (aromatase inhibitor, AI) respectively for one month. The
results showed that the three treated groups turned into transitional stage
with intersex gonads, which contained atretic oocytes and spermatogenic germ cells at all stages of spermatogenesis.
The controls did not change sex. The gonads of more than half MT-implanted fish
were in early transitional stages of sex inversion, whereas those of more than
half MDHT and MT+AI-implanted fish were in late transitional stages of sex
inversion. No difference in serum estradiol-17 beta (E-2) levels between the controls
and the treated groups were observed, whereas 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) and
testosterone (T) levels increased in all treated groups. Significantly lower gonadosomatic index (GSI) and gonadal aromatase activity were observed in the treated
groups, which were in accordance with the lower mRNA expression of P450aromA.
However, P450aromB mRNA expression increased in the MT group, while it did not
change in the MDHT group. These results suggest that the sex inversion of
red-spotted grouper by MT and MDHT implantation might be due to the suppression
of P450aromA gene expression, and resulting in both the decrease of the ovarian
estrogen -secretion, as well as the increase in the 11-KT levels. Furthermore,
the main reason for MT being less effective than MDHT might be due to partial
aromatization of MT to estrogen.

Abstract: The drag characteristics of the Wells turbine
are difficult to be accurately predicted because of the influences of many
variables. Detailed analyses about the effects of these variables on the drag
characteristics educe that the most sensitive parameters to the drag
characteristics are the turbine solidity of the turbine and incidence angle of
airflow. In this paper, an experimental research is conducted on the pressure
drop across the flat - plate rotor which is used to simulate the Wells turbine.
After nondimensionalization and fitting of the
experimental data, a common experiential formula is obtained. Compared with the
experimental data from literature, the computational results are satisfactory.
Thus, this report provides a simple and convenient method for predicting the
drag characteristics of the Wells turbine and optimizing the match design between
an oscillating water column and a chamber.

Abstract: Outbreak of blue-green algal blooms, with
associated unsightly scum and unpleasant odor, occurs frequently in eutrophic lakes. We conducted feeding experiments to study
ingestion and digestion of Microcystis aeruginosa by tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) under laboratory conditions and field
testing to reduce Microcystis blooms by stocking
tilapia in
Lake
Yuehu
and other eutrophic waters
in
Ningbo
,
China
between 2000 and 2003. Our results show that tilapia
was capable of ingesting and digesting a large quantity of Microcystis.
Digestion efficiency ranged from 58.6 to 78.1% at water temperature of 25
degrees C. Ingestion rate increased with increasing fish weight and water
temperature. Intensive blooms occurred in
Lake
Yuehu
in both 1999 and 2000. The lake was stocked with
silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix),
bighead (Aristichthys nobilis)
and a freshwater mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii) at a total biomass of
9.8 g
m(-3) in early 2001, and
tilapia at 3
-5 g
m(-3) in April of 2002. From June to October, average
phytoplankton density decreased from 897.6x10(6) cells l(-1)
in 2000 to 291.7x10(6) cells l(-1) in 2001 and 183.0x10(6) cells l(-1) in 2002.
Compared to 2000, the annual average phytoplankton biomass in 2001 and 2002
decreased by 48.6% and 63.8%, respectively. The blue-green algal biomass which
made up 70% of the total phytoplankton biomass in 2000 was reduced to 22.1% in
2001 and 11.2% in 2002. Meanwhile, Secchi depth
increased from 20
-50 cm
to 55
-137 cm
during the same time period. Similar results were
observed in some other eutrophic waters. For example,
algal bloom disappeared about 20 days after tilapia fingerlings were stocked (8
-15 g
m(-3)) to a pond in
Zhenhai
Park
. Chlorophyll a concentration and phytoplankton
production declined dramatically whereas water transparency increased
substantially. However, the impacts of tilapia on nitrogen and phosphorus
dynamics in natural lakes need further investigation. Our studies revealed that
stocking tilapia is an effective way to control algal blooms in eutrophic waters, especially in lakes where nutrient
loading cannot be reduced sufficiently, and where grazing by zooplankton cannot
control phytoplankton production effectively.

experiments. The results showed that adsorption of aluminium by the soil was enhanced after addition of phosphate at low pH, and this promotive effect was gradually eliminated with the increase
in pH. The positive effect of phosphate on aluminium adsorption onto latosol was attributed to
phosphate-induced surface negative charge and formation of ternary surface
complexes involving aluminium and phosphate. While
using silica as adsorbent, the inactive surfaces for phosphate, promotion of
adsorption of aluminium by phosphate was also found.
Then it was proposed that additional aluminium might
bind to the phosphate adsorbed onto the silica in the form of surface complexes
silica-aluminium-phosphate again, and the mechanism
might operate in the soil systems as well. Glutamic acid exhibited no influence on the adsorption of aluminium by the soil at low pH. After increasing the pH, adsorption of aluminium was inhibited especially with the highest
addition of glutamic acid, probably owing to weak
affinity of complexes between glutamic acid and aluminium to the soil.

Abstract: Calcium carbonate/natural rubber (NR) latex
nanometer composites were prepared by adding nanometer CaCO3 whose surface had
been treated to natural rubber latex (NRL) before sulfuration.
The physical, thermooxidative aging, and thermal
degradation properties and the ultra-microstructure were analyzed with a
multipurpose material testing meter, a thermal analysis meter and a Philips
XL-30 SEM, respectively. The results showed that the structures and properties
of nanometer composites could be clearly improved by NRL mixed with
surface-treated nano-meter CaCO3. The physical
properties of the nanometer composites were best when the content of surface
treatment agent was 2.5% (to nanometer CaCO3), the nanometer CaCO3/NRL content
was 3:100, and the stirring time for treating the surface of the nanometer
CaCO3 was 20 min. Simultaneously, the thermooxidative aging resistance of the nanometer composites also was significantly improved.

Abstract: In the present study, we implanted 2-year-old
female red-spotted grouper, Epinephelus akaara, with a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (AI), fadrozole, in the breeding season and
examined changes in gonadal histology, serum sex
steroids, aromatase activities and P450 aromatase (P450arom) gene expression in gonads after AI
implantation. Aromatase inhibitor at doses from 0.1
to 10.0 mg kg(-1) BW induced a sex inversion and
completion of spermatogenesis up to the functional male phase, but doses of 1.0
and 10.0 mg kg(-1) BW AI produced more males than 0.1 mg kg(-1) BW AI. Serum
estradiol-17 beta (E-2) levels decreased, but 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT)
levels increased significantly in all the AI-implanted groups, whereas
testosterone (T) levels increased significantly only in the 1.0 mg kg(-1) BW
AI-implanted group. Aromatase activities and P450arom
gene expression in gonads were inhibited significantly in the AI-implanted
groups, which was in accordance with the decrease in serum E-2 levels. These
results suggested the optimal dose of AI to induce sex inversion to be 1.0 mg kg(-1) BW. Furthermore, the sex inversion induced by AI may
be attributed to the inhibition of P450arom gene expression and aromatase activity and the resultant decrease in the
biosynthesis of endogenous E-2. Meanwhile, the elevated 11-KT levels were also
associated closely with the occurrence of sex inversion in protogynous red-spotted grouper.

Abstract: The genetic polymorphism and relationships of Muscovy, Cherry Valley, Meat ducks, Partridge ducks and
their crossbreds F-1 and F-2, respectively, were studied using a random
amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. The results showed that RAPD
markers were effective for the analysis of genetic relationships among ducks.
Amplification with 20-primers gave 760 reproducible amplified fragments. The
percentage of polymorphic marker band was 74.70%, which indicates that the RAPD
technique had higher efficiency of polymorphism detection and sensitivity in
studying the genetic variations among ducks and showed that the genetic
polymorphism was abundant between two species of duck populations. The average
index of genetic distance in hybrid F, was 0.2341 and
higher than that of its parents, which indicates that the genetic diversity was
improved by crossbreeding with
Muscovy

Abstract: Ilyophagous fishes,
that is, those that feed on soft sediments, are widely distributed throughout
temperate and tropical freshwater and estuarine environments. Despite their
abundance (they constituted over half of the ichthyomass in some systems), the role of these fishes in ecosystem structure and function
has received little attention. In particular, data on diet and digestion in Cirrhinus, a genus abundant through much of
Southeast Asia
, are yet to be reported. In this study we examined gut
contents of Chinese mud carp Cirrhinus molitorella; fish ranged from 16 to
29 cm
total length and were collected from five ponds each
in Wuchuan and Shunde Counties, Guangdong Province, China. Their diets were made up of sand, mud, and
amorphous organic matter. Foregut samples averaged 0.226-mg ash-free dry weight
(AFDW)/mg dry weight and 0.155 mg total amino acids (AA)/mg AFDW. Assimilation
efficiency averaged 0.113 for AFDW and 0.153 for total AA. Compared with that
in other ilyophagous fishes, digestion in Chinese mud
carp is inefficient. Nonetheless, the ratio of AA (mg) assimilated to total
organic matter (mg) assimilated-0.209-is in the range expected to support moderate
growth, as has been reported for this species. Review of the literature on ilyophagous fishes reveals four groups characterized by
different gut morphologies that each appear to be adapted to the use of
relatively indigestible diets. The extremely long, undifferentiated alimentary
canal in Chinese mud carp and related species is the simplest of these, and its
relative inefficiency may be related to this simple morphology.

Abstract: The present study was conducted to investigate a
possible protection of ferulic acid against excitotoxic effects of maternal intragastric (ig) administration of monosodium glutamate (MSG) at
a late stage of pregnancy on developing mouse fetal brain. [H-3]-labeled
glutamate was used as radiotracer to study the effect of ferulic acid on distribution of MSG in mouse fetal brain. MSG dissolved in distilled
water (
2.0 g
/kg body weight, 640 kBq of
[H-3]glutamate/mouse, ig) or/and sodium ferulate (SF) (20, 40, 80 mg/kg body weight, ip), was given to pregnant mice at 17-19 days; the
distribution of [H-3]glutamate in the mouse fetal brains was measured at 30,
60, 90, 120 min after administration of MSG or/and SF Maternal mice were given
MSG (1.0, 2.0,
4.0 g
/kg body weight, ig) or/and
SF (20, 40, 80 mg/kg body weight, ip) simultaneously
at 17-19 days of pregnancy, and then behavioral tests and histopathological observations were used to analyze glutamate-induced functional and morphological
changes of the brains of their offspring, and Western blot analysis was
performed for examining expressions of bcl-2 and caspase-3. The results showed
that SF obviously inhibited the uptake of labeled glutamate in fetal brain. In
addition, SF countered the effects of MSG on behavior, histopathology, genetic
toxicity, and expression of apoptosis-related gene. The results suggest that ferulic acid is a novel competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist and neuroprotector. In conclusion, maternal administration of ferulic acid has potent protective effects against
glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in their filial mice.

Abstract: This paper investigated the intestinal
distribution and fecundity of 2 species of Diplostoymum parasites, D. spothaceum and D. pseadospathaceum,
in 2 species of definitive hosts, herring gull (Larus argentatus) and common gull (L. callus), using both
empirical field data and experimental infections. At the level of individual
hosts, the parasite species Occupied different parts within the intestine, but
the fecundity of the worms, measured as the number of eggs in the uterus, did
not differ between the parasite species except in wild common gulls.
Interestingly, egg numbers in individual hosts were positively correlated
between the parasite species suggesting that some birds provided better
resource for the parasite species. At the host population level, fecundity of
the worms did not differ between the host species or between adult birds and chicks.
Both parasite species were also aggregated to the same host individuals and it
is likely that aggregation is transferred to gulls from fish intermediate
hosts. Individual differences in suitability and parasite numbers between hosts
provide important grounds and implications for epidemiological model-based
parasite prevention strategies.

Abstract: A novel natural rubber/silica (NR/SiO2) nanocomposite with a SiO2 loading of 4 wt% is developed by
incorporating latex compounding with self-assembly techniques. The SiO2 nanoparticles are homogenously distributed throughout the
NR matrix as spherical nano-clusters with an average
size of 75 nm. In comparison with the host NR, the thermal resistance of the nanocomposite is significantly improved. The degradation
temperatures (T), reaction activation energy (E), and reaction order (n) of the nanocomposite are markedly higher than those of the
pure NR, due to significant retardant effect of the SiO2 nanoparticles.

Abstract: The effects of stearates on the dehydrochlorination (DHC) reaction of
chlorinated natural rubber (CNR) from latex were studied by the measurement of
the HCl evolving rate during the early stage of the
thermal degradation of CNR and by the determination of the amounts of cyclic
conjugated dienes formed on the CNR molecular chains.
During the early stage of the thermal degradation of CNR at 150 degrees C, HCl was eliminated from the CNR molecular chains, and the
cyclic conjugated dienes were formed on the CNR
molecular chains. Under the effects of barium stearate,
lead stearate, cadmium stearate,
and calcium stearate, the HCl evolving rates of CNR were reduced whereas the amounts of cyclic conjugated dienes that formed on the CNR molecular chains were
increased. When zinc stearate was added, because of
the formation of ZnCl2 which was an active catalyst of the DHC reaction of CNR,
both the HCl evolving rate from CNR and the formation
of cyclic conjugated dienes were increased. The
results indicate that the addition of stearates can
reduce the thermal stability of CNR. (c) 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract: The effects of dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTL) and epoxidized soya bean oil (EBO) on the dehydrochlorination reaction of chlorinated natural rubber (CNR) from latex were studied by the
measurement of the HCl evolving rate during the
thermal degradation of CNR and by the determination of the amounts of cyclic
conjugated dienes that formed on the CNR molecular
chains. During the early stage of the thermal degradation of CNR at 150 degrees
C, HCl was eliminated, and the cyclic conjugated dienes formed on the CNR molecular chains. Under the
effects of DBTL and EBO, the HCl evolving rates
during the early stage of the thermal degradation of CNR were reduced, whereas
the amounts of cyclic conjugated dienes formed on the
CNR molecular chains were increased. Under the effects of mixtures from the
compounding of DBTL with barium stearate or
2,2'methylene-bis(4-methyl-6-tert-butyl-phenol) as well as the compounding of
EBO with 2,2'-methylene-bis(4-methyl-6-tert-butyl-phenol), not only the HCl evolving rate from CNR but also the formation of cyclic
conjugated dienes decreased, and this indicated that
the compounded mixtures had synergistic functions against the thermal
degradation of CNR. However, the mixture from the compounding of EBO with
barium stearate had no synergistic effect on
increasing the thermal stability of CNR. (c) 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract: Background: Tubeimoside I (TBMS1), a triterpenoid saponin,
isolated from the tubers of Bolbostemma paniculatum, showed potent antitumor and antitumor-promoting effects. The objective of
this study is to investigate the role of mitochondria and mitochondria cytochrome c in TBMS1-mediated apoptosis of human cervical
carcinoma HeLa cell line. Methods: Viability of HeLa cells was measured by MTT assay. Apoptotic induction
by TBMS1 was determined by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and gel electrophoresis of fragmented DNA. Mitochondrial transmembrane potential (triangle psi m) was assayed by flow cytometry. Cytochrome c (Cyt c) was detected by Western blotting. Results: The
results showed that Cyclosporin A (CsA) partly protected HeLa cells
from growth inhibitory effect of TBMS1, and partly countered the ability of
TBMS1 to rapidly induce apoptosis in HeLa cells, and
that TBMS1 decreased triangle psi m and induced Cyt c release by a mechanism inhibited by CsA, and that TBMS1 induced apoptosis of HeLa cells dose-dependently in accordance with increase of cytosolic Cyt c. Conclusions:
TBMS1 opens the permeability transition (PT) pore, thereby decreasing triangle psi m, releasing Cyt c from
mitochondria, and further causing a series of events consistent with
established mechanistic models of apoptosis.

Abstract: Spark discharge was the representative
phenomenon of Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) method distinguished from other
electrochemical oxidation methods. Under the spark discharge treatment,
characteristics of the anodic layer were significantly changed. To investigate
the influences of the spark discharge, a piece of magnesium alloy AZ91D
specimen was partly treated by MAO method in alkaline silicate solution. And
the microstructure, element distributions as well as the surface potential
distributions of the specimen were studied by scanning electron microscopy
(SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning Kelvin probe (SKP)
technique. As a result of intensive spark discharge treatment, porous external
layer with dense internal layer were formed on Mg alloy surface. At the same
time, the depositions of
OH-
and SiO32- ions were accelerated, which resulted in the
enrichment of element oxygen and silicon at the spark discharge region.
Moreover, due to the compact internal layer, the intensive spark discharge
region exhibited more positive potentials with respect to other regions, which
meant this region could restrain the ejection of electron and provide effective
protection to the substrate. In addition, it was found that oxygen played a
vital role in determining the intensity and size of sparks, and abundant oxygen
resulted in intensive and larger sparks. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights

Abstract: Production of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
concentrates from tuna oil was optimized. In the process, the liquid recovery
yield (Y-1) and the total content of DHA and EPA (Y-2) were response variables,
respectively. A three-factor central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was used to study the effect of urea-to-fatty acid ratio (XI),
crystallization temperature (X-2) and crystallization time (X-3). Second order
polynomial regression models for Y-1 and Y2 were employed to generate response
surfaces. The total DHA and EPA (85.02%) and the liquid recovery yield (25.10%)
from tuna oil were obtained at a urea-to-fatty acid ratio of 15 (mole/mole), a
crystallization temperature of -5 degrees C, and a crystallization time of 20

Abstract: In the title compound,
[Co(C12H9O2)(2)(H2O)(2)](n), the Co-II atom lies on an inversion centre and has
a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment involving four carboxylate and two water O atoms. In the crystal
structure, each naphthaleneacetate ligand coordinates two metal centres through its carboxylate O atoms, adopting a bis-monodentate mode to give rise to a two-dimensional
network. A three-dimensional supramolecular network
is consolidated by intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O
hydrogen bonds.

Abstract: The morphology of self-assembled poly(vinyl alcohol)/silica (PVA/SiO2) nanocomposites is investigated with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron
microscopy (TEM). It is found that the SiO2 nanoparticles are homogenously distributed throughout the PVA matrix in a form of spherical nano-cluster. The average size of the SiO2 clusters is
below 50 nm at the low contents (SiO2 < 5 wt%),
while particle aggregations are clearly observed and their average size
markedly increases to 110 nm when 10 wt% SiO2 is loaded. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the nanocomposite significantly outperforms the pure PVA in the
thermal resistance. By using a multi-heating-rate method, the thermal
degradation kinetics of the nanocomposite with a SiO2
content of 5 wt% is compared to the PVA host. The reaction activation energy
(E) of the nanocomposite, similar to the pure PVA, is
divided into two main stages corresponding to two degradation steps. However,
at a given degradation temperature, the nanocomposite presents much lower reaction velocity constants (k), while its E is 20 kJ/mol
higher than that of the PVA host.
