Interaction between konjac glucomannan (KGM) and soybean protein isolate (SPI) has been studied by means of dynamic viscoelastic measurements. The factors such as gelling time, temperature, frequency and strain were revealed in this study. The storage modulus G′was larger than the loss modulus G″for the gel mixtures of KGM and SPI at high concentration. It showed that the association of molecular chains and sol-gel transition was occurred and a three dimensional network was formed between KGM and SPI. An alkaline coagulant treatment for mixtures of KGM and SPI improved the viscoelastic properties of the gel. The frequency dependence of G′and G″for mixtures of KGM and SPI without alkaline at lower frequencies range from 10-2 to 101 rad/s were observed, but at higher frequencies the frequency dependence of G′and G″for mixtures of KGM and SPI with or without alkaline were not confirmed in this study.

Chitosans with low molecular weight were prepared by homogeneous degradation of chitosan by microwave irradiation in different acid solution. The effects of various factors such as: reaction solution, H2O2/Chitosan ratio, microwave irradiation power and time on the degradation reaction were investigated in this paper. The results showed that chitosans with 10~100 thousand molecular weight were prepared in 1~6 minutes by microwave irradiation under the different reaction conditions. Moreover, the yield was higher and repetition was well. Keeping other reaction conditions fixed, the degradation velocity of chitosan in CH3COOH solution was the quickest and it was fit for preparing water-unsolvable chitosan with 10~ 50 thousand molecular weight while, the yield was over 80%. The degradation velocity in HCOOH solution was slowest and it was fit for preparing chitosan with more than 50 thousand molecular weight, while the yield was over 90%. The degradation velocity in HCl solution was in-between the other two.

Reciprocal activation of prourokinase and plasminogen is an important mechanism in the initiation and propagation of local fibrinolytic activity. We have found that glucosyldiacylglycerol enhanced the reciprocal activation of both zymogens to active two-chain forms. The reciprocal activation system consists of (i) plasminogen activation by prourokinase to form plasmin, (ii) prourokinase activation by the resulting plasmin to form two-chain urokinase and (iii) plasminogen activation by the resulting urokinase-type prasminogen activator. Whereas glucosyldiacylglycerol minimally affected steps (ii) and (iii) in isolated systems, glucosyldiacylglycerol markedly enhanced plasminogen activation by prourokinase to form plasmin in the absence of the conversion of prourokinase to two-chain urokinase. Glucosyldiacylglycerol significantly increased intrinsic fluorescence of prourokinase, but not of two-chain urokinase and plasminogen. The large change in intrinsic fluorescence suggeststhat glucosyldiacylglycerol selectively affects prourokinase to alter its conformation, and this mechanism may account for enhancement of its intrinsic plasminogen activator activity. Glucosyldiacylglycerol significantly enhanced the fibrinolytic activationo ff ibrinc lots inv itro.

Objective: To examine the effect of sodium selenite on growth of SGC-7901 cells. Methods: The growth curve of SGC-7901 cells was measured by using cell culture and SRB experiment; effects of sodium selenite on SGC-7901 cell colony- forming and cell mitotic index were examined by using the relative tests; effect of sodium selenite on SGC-7901 cell growth cycle was measured by using flow cytometry; and sodium selenite-induced SGC-7901 cell apoptosis was examined by electron microscope, TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. Results: In the curve sodium selenite significantly inhibited respectively the SGC-7901 cell growth, colony-forming and mitotic index dose dependently. Flow cytometry detection showed that, after 24 hours, sodium selenite reduced the percentage of G1 phase cells but increased the percentage of S phase cells in cell cycle (p< 0.05 compared with control group). Electron microscope detection showed nucleus pycnosis, and crescent-shaped chromatic agglutination stiching closed to karyotheca with karyotheca distortion. DNA histogram showed a typical apoptosis peak as hyodiplod. TUNEL staining showed that apoptosis index was between 10.4% and 33.4%. Conclusion: Sodium selenite had an inhibitory effect on SGC-7901 cell growth with dose-effect relationship. The inhibition of S phase cell proliferation and induction of cell apoptosis might underlie the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of sodium selenite on SGC-7901 cell growth.

The purple-red petals of Althaea rosea (L.)Cavan. were used as experimental materials to extract flower pigments. The effects of light, heat, pH value, oxide, reductor, sucrose, salt, preservative and metal ions were investigated on the stability of the pigment. The components and the amounts of harmful trace elements of the crude pigments were assayed. The edible- safety was examined by the test of mice’s acute toxicity. The results indicated that this pigment was of a type of anchocyanin and had a strong resistance to light but a poor capability against H2O2 and Na2SO3. The pigment exhibited a resistance to heat treatment to certain extent. The colour of the pigment was improved by the addition of VC. Sucrose, salt, sodium benzoate and most of metal ions had no negative effects on the stability of the pigment, but Fe3+、Fe2+、Cu2+、Pb2+ and Sn2+ accelerated the pigment degradation . Based on the tests of harmful trace elements and acute toxicity, it was suggested that this pigment couldbe safely used as a natural functional pigment.

Using mainly peach cultivars from northern production area, the species of pathogenic fungi and their ways of post- harvest rot disease infection on peach were studied. The results showed that eight kinds of pathogenic fungi were isolated from peach in storage period. Reinoculation experiment reflected that the pathogenic capability among different fungi showed great diversity in different conditions. Among the pathogens, Botrytis cinerea was the most pathogenic species, and Cladosporium sp. was weak pathogenic; under normal temperature Rhizopus nigricans and Aspergillus sp. were pathogenic and the infectious period was generally very short; Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria sp would infect peach under both low and high temperature.
