高温流化α-化在酿酒用大米预处理中的应用

作者研究了高温流化α-化工艺中大米淀粉晶粒、水分、绝干淀粉含量、糊化率、脂肪含量、总氮和可降解氮的变化。研究表明：高温流化α-化后淀粉晶粒消失，成松散片状，比表面积增大，有利于酶的作用；水分含量低于10％，可有效防止淀粉老化和微生物污染；高温流化处理后淀粉糊化率与蒸饭法持平，而脂肪与可降解氮含量均明显下降，为酿造淡爽型酿造酒和提高酿造酒非生物性稳定性创造了机会。该工艺尤其适合在我国以糙米为原料的酿造酒生产中推广应用。     

Ginkgo biloba Extract (EGb 761) Pretreatment Limits Free Radical Oxidative Stress in Patients Undergoing Coronary Bypass Surgery

A growing body of evidence supports the trigger role of free radicals in the delayed functional and metabolic myocardial recovery following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in humans, thus opening the field to specific therapies. This clinical study was designed to evaluate, in 15 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement, whether the extent of CPB- and reperfusion-induced lipid peroxidation, ascorbate depletion, tissue necrosis, and cardiac dysfunction is reduced by orally administered EGb 761, a Ginkgo biloba extract withpotent in vitro antiradical properties. Patients received either EGb 761 (Tanakan, 320 mg/day, n = 8) or a matching placebo (n = 7) for 5 days before surgical intervention. Plasma samples were obtained from the peripheral circulation and the coronary sinus at crucial stages of the operation (i.e., before incision, during ischemia, and within the first 30 minutes post-unclamping), and up to 8 days postoperatively. Upon aortic unclamping, EGb 761 inhibited the transcardiac release of thiobarbituric acid species (p ` 0.05), as assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography, and attenuated the early (5–10 minute) decrease in dimethylsulfoxide/ascorbyl free radical levels, an electron spin resonance index of the plasma ascorbate pool (p ` 0.05). EGb 761 also significantly reduced the more delayed leakage of myoglobin (p = 0.007) and had an almost significant effect on ventricular myosin leakage (p = 0.053, 6 days postoperatively). The clinical outcome of recovery of treated patients was improved, but not significantly, compared with untreated patients. Our results demonstrate the usefulness of adjuvant EGb 761 therapy in limiting oxidative stress in cardiovascular surgery and suggest the possible role of highly bioavailable terpene constituents of the drug.     

影响α-淀粉酶分离液澄清度的因素

本文根据凝聚和絮凝原理,研究了无机盐和高分子絮凝剂加入量对枯草杆菌BF 7658α-淀粉酶分离液澄清度的影响。实验结果表明,氯化钙可使α-淀粉酶发酵液的ζ电位降低,分离液的澄清度增加,用氯化钙和磷酸氢二钠来处理发酵液,则其分离液的澄清度较单用氯化钙为大,阴离子型高分子絮凝剂如海藻酸钠加入量对分离液澄清度也有一定影响。实验中还发现,澄清的发酵液在10℃下贮存可保持澄清透明状态。

Significance of wet autoclave pretreatment in immunohistochemistry

Until recently the only way to rescue masked epitopes in routinely processed surgical pathological material was enzymatic digestion. The use of heat for antigen retrieval, first by microwave irradiation, represents an important breakthrough in immunohistochemistry. With the acceptance of microwave oven pretreatment, various modified techniques and alternative heating methods have also been proposed. Wet autoclave pretreatment for tissue proteolysis is a highly reliable alternative to the microwave antigen retrieval technique. It provides uniform heating of the slides, hence an even enhancement of staining intensity in a variety of formalin-sensitive antigens, and it also offers consistent interlaboratory results. The method has been introduced in routine diagnostic immunohistochemistry for the detection of estrogen-and progesterone receptors, L26-, Ki-67- and bcl-2 antigens and variable types of cytokeratins (1/5/10/11, 8, 13, 19). Experimentally, wet autoclaving can be used very successfully for the immunophenotyping of p53 and mdm2 expression, for the detection of adhesion molecules (CD44, integrins) and some anti-inflammatory molecules (annexins), among others. It has produced a substantial improvement in the visualisation of silver-stained nucleolar organizer regionsassociated proteins (AgNORs) in routine paraffin sections and along with modified silver staining and standardized AgNOR parameters assessed by image analysis. Wet autoclaving-based AgNOR staining has been proposed by a European multicentric study group as the standardized method for AgNOR analysis in archival material.     

Proliferative (mib1, mdm2) versus anti-proliferative (p53) markers in head and neck cancer. An Immunohistochemical study

Formalin fixed and paraffin embedded samples from 36 squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx and the oral cavity (pT₂N₀M₀, R₀) surrounded by non-tumorous mucosa were studied immunohistochemically using a panel of four different anti-p53 antibodies (CM1, PAbl801, D07, PAb240), a monoclonal anti-mdm2 antibody and MIB1, following wet autoclave antigen retrieval. P53 immunoreactivity was detected in 11/14 laryngeal and in 9/22 oral carcinomas. All p53 positive oral, and all but one laryngeal tumors revealed mdm2 positivity as well, whereas in p53 negative tumors 4/12 and 1/3 mdm2 immunopositive cases were demonstrated, respectively. MIB1 labeling indices of the tumors ranged between 18% – 64% in p53 positive cases, and 10% – 53% in p53 negative ones. The difference was not statistically significant. Close spatial coexpression of p53, mdm2 and MIB1 immunoreactivity was observed at the invasive front of the carcinomas and in the basal and suprabasal layers of the non-tumorous epithelium in all p53 positive cases. However, the MIB1 expression was similarly increased at the invasive margins in carcinomas lacking immunohistochemically detectable p53 alterations. Our results strongly suggest that p53 overexpression does not necessarily correspond to increased rate of proliferation, but rather to mdm2 overexpression and is largely dependent on the anatomical site in case of small and localized squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region.
