醚化、交联对玉米淀粉功能性质的影响

本文研究了醚化和交联反应对玉米淀粉物理性质和结构的影响。实验结果表明:醚化明显地改善了淀粉糊的透明度和低温稳定性,降低了糊化温度;醚化淀粉再经交联后,可改善淀粉糊的粘度稳定性。醚化及交联反应主要在淀粉的非结晶区进行,反应并未破坏淀粉颗粒。醚化影响直链淀粉的构象并在颗粒表面形成空穴,交联则使淀粉颗粒在蒸煮后仍保持完整并抑制了直链淀粉的渗出。

Review on the screening of semen by hypo‐osmotic swelling test

The hypo‐osmotic swelling test (HOST) is widely used as a valuable test for determining sperm quality by evaluating the membrane integrity of spermatozoa of various domestic animals including cattle, horses and swine. The HOST has also been used as an indicator of the fertilising capacity of spermatozoa. This test is based on the swelling ability when functional spermatozoa submitted to hypo‐osmotic solutions. This test is commonly used as an important parameter for the evaluation of semen due to its strong correlation with semen evaluation parameters. The objective of this review was to analyse its significance in semen evaluation, swelling of spermatozoa under various osmolarities and variations in swelling percentage under different seasons.     

Relationship between hypoosmotic swelling test, semen analysis, and zona-free hamster ovum test

The hypoosmotic swelling test is a simple test for measuring the functional competence of the human sperm membrane. Fifty-four patients with idiopathic infertility were assessed by hypoosmotic swelling test and the results were compared with those of routine semen analysis and zona-free hamster ovum human sperm penetration test (ZSPT). Semen samples with abnormal semen parameters had lower percentage of swollen sperm in comparison with those with normal semen parameters. A positive correlation was observed between sperm concentration and sperm swelling (r = .50, p less than .05). A strong positive correlation was observed between the percentage of sperm motility and the percentage of swollen sperm (r = 0.60, p less than .01), and between motile sperm concentration and sperm swelling (r = .62, p less than .01). On the other hand, sperm swelling correlated only weakly with the percentage of sperm penetration. The results indicate that the hypoosmotic swelling test appears to evaluate different functional qualities of sperm than ZSPT.     

不同获能时相对人精子膜完整性的影响

本研究用人精子低渗肿胀试验（ＨＯＳ－ｔｅｓｔ）分析了１２例正常育龄男子的精液标本。精子分别用常规洗涤法、上游法和加入钙离子载体（Ａ２３１８７）诱导获能等三种不同方法处理后，分别在液化后、上游１ｈ后、获能３ｈ、６ｈ、２４ｈ后测定精子的低渗肿胀率，结果显示经不同方法处理、在不同获能时相之后的精子，在２４ｈ之内其肿胀率保持在８７．８±１４．６％～７３．３±１１．９％之间，统计学分析表明各标本组肿胀率之间无明显差异。本研究提示在２４ｈ内精子膜的完整性不受获能时相及不同处理方法的影响。

Backslabs and plaster casts: which will best accommodate increasing intracompartmental pressures?

Plaster-of-Paris backslabs are presently used after closed or operative reduction of fractures as they are thought to accommodate any swelling which may occur. This study was designed to examine the ability of different types of cast to expand with increasing internal pressure. The results of the study show clearly that a split and spread cast is the only safe cast to use after fracture as it allows for swelling. Backslabs are no better than a complete plaster at accommodating increased internal pressure. It is therefore recommended that backslabs are no longer used to maintain reductions when swelling is anticipated.     

Plastic surgical solutions for melkersson-rosenthal syndrome: facial liposuction and cheiloplasty procedures

OBJECTIVE:: Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome (MRS) is a rare granulomatous disease characterized by a triad, including orofacial swelling, facial palsy and lingua plicata with usually recurrent or progressive course. Orofacial swelling, the most often sign of MRS, leads to the both esthetic and functional deformities. Because of its unknown etiology, a rational treatment is difficult and management of MRS still remains symptomatic, aiming at to remove orofacial swelling mainly. Although the many nonsurgical therapies have been mentioned in the literature, none has been proved uniformly and predictably successful to date.In this paper, we present different surgical procedures and their outcomes in a series of 4 cases with MRS. The procedures including mucosa, submucosa and tangential muscle resection, crescent shaped commissuroplasty, and facial liposuction may be considered in surgical armamentarium when orofacial swelling becomes persistent. We think that the plastic surgeons may act more effectively in the management of the syndrome in the future.     

Reappraisal of the hypo-osmotic swelling test to improve assessment of seminal fertility status

The hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test has been proposed as a useful assay for evaluation of the functional competence of the human sperm membranes. To assess this further, the HOS-test was evaluated in 187 semen samples collected from fertile men and from male patients consulting for infertility. These samples were classified as normal, oligo-, astheno- or oligoasthenozoospermic on the basis of their standard semen variables. The percentage of total sperm tail swelling and of sperm exhibiting different tail swelling patterns was recorded. In the fertile men and in the group of patients with normal semen variables, significantly more (P less than 0.001) HOS-reactive sperm were observed after hypo-osmotic treatment in comparison with those groups exhibiting abnormal semen parameters. Swelling of the sperm in a hypo-osmotic medium was highly correlated with both progressive motility (r = 0.62, P less than 0.001) and sperm viability (r = 0.65, P less than 0.001). A weak positive correlation was also observed between sperm swelling and sperm morphological features (r = 0.31, P less than 0.005) and between sperm swelling and sperm concentration (r = 0.31, P less than 0.005). No significant correlation was observed between sperm swelling and in-vitro sperm fertilizing capacity as assessed by the zona-free hamster oocyte penetration assay. However the majority of the semen samples (87.3%) showing a normal penetration rate (greater than or equal to 10%) also exhibited a 60% (or higher) reaction in the HOS-test.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Swelling of the legs and feet

There are many different causes of leg and foot swelling, some are benign and transient, others can be debilitating and progressive. Correct diagnosis and early treatment is crucial as conservative measures are most effective before the condition is allowed to progress. Current waiting times in the UK National Health Service (NHS) after the Covid-19 pandemic are leading to delays in care for people with chronic leg swelling. Delayed or inadequate treatment for these patients can lead to irreversible tissue damage, an episode of cellulitis, and progression to leg ulceration. There is in addition a significant impact on quality of life associated with living with the pain, anxiety, and reduced mobility. The causes of acute and chronic leg and foot swelling are outlined. Diagnosis and treatment of the common causes of leg and foot swelling in the Western adult population are discussed. The mainstay of treatment for most of these conditions relies on physical therapy and graduated elastic compression garments or elastic Velcro wraps as many do not have a cure.     

Hypo-osmotic sperm swelling test does not assess fertilizing capacity of human spermatozoa

The hypo-osmotic sperm swelling (HOSS) test was performed on semen samples of five normospermic men from couples with prolonged infertility. Previously, the men had negative results of the zona-free hamster oocyte (ZFHO) test on two different ejaculates and the wives subsequently had become pregnant by donor insemination. A high swelling percentage (at least 60%) was found in all five men. It would appear that the HOSS test does not assess fertilizing capacity.     

Changes in interface pressure and stump shape over time: preliminary results from a trans-tibial amputee subject

Interface stresses and stump shape were measured during sessions over a two-month interval on a trans-tibial amputee subject. Results from thirteen transducer sites monitored during four sessions showed greater interface pressure changes over time at anterior sites than at lateral or posterior locations. There was a trend of decreased pressure with stump swelling and increased pressure for stump atrophy. During one session in which stump shape was monitored over a 23.1 min interval after ambulation, stump swelling was localised. Swelling tended to increase in the regions of initial enlargement, as opposed to redistributing through different areas over time. Regions of swelling were anterior lateral and posterior proximal, areas of thick underlying soft tissue. Identification of localised areas of swelling and atrophy and understanding of their effects on interface pressures could be used to improve individual socket design.
