The release of lactate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase activity and levels of malondialdehyde were determined by UV spectrophotometry. The changes in mitochondrial membrane potential and the intracellular concentration of calcium were determined by flow cytometry, and the activity of caspase-3 was monitored by western blot. According to cell viability and apoptosis studies, MPP+-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells was inhibited in the presence of 10 tJg/mL of Eleutheroside B Our results indicate that the neuroprotective effect of Eleutheroside B, following MPP+-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells, involves increasing the anti-oxidative stress capacity of cells, maintaining the high-energy state of mitochondrial membrane potential, reducing intracellular calcium concentration and inhibiting caspase-3 activity.展开更多

It has been running steadily from March, 2018. According to the construction plan, the engineering materials diffractometer(EMD) will be installed between 2019–2023. This instrument requires the neutron detectors with the cover area near3 m2in two 90° neutron diffraction angle positions, the neutron detecting efficiency is better than 40%@1A, and the spatial resolution is better than 4 mm×200 mm in horizontal and vertical directions respectively. We have developed a onedimensional position-sensitive neutron detector based on the oblique6Li F/Zn S(Ag) scintillators, wavelength shifting fibers,and Si PMs(silicon photomultipliers) readout. The inhomogeneity of the neutron detection efficiency between each pixel and each detector module, which caused by the inconsistency of the wave-length shifting fibers in collecting scintillation photons, needs to be mitigated before the installation. A performance optimization experiment of the detector modules was carried out on the BL20(beam line 20) of CSNS. Using water sample, the neutron beam with Φ5 mm exit hole was dispersed related evenly into the forward space. According to the neutron counts of each pixel of the detector module, the readout electronics threshold of each pixel is adjusted. Compared with the unadjusted detector module, the inhomogeneity of the detection efficiency for the adjusted one has been improved from 69% to 90%. The test result of the diffraction peak of the standard sample Si showed that the adjusted detector module works well.展开更多

The bacterial liquid was rinsed with PBS, centrifuged, and filtered through microporous filtering film to collect extracellular products (ECPs).[Results] Extracellular proteinase (ECPase) of S. iniae exhibited amylase, protease, lecitinase, gelatinase, lipase activities and hemolytic activity but had no urease activity. EDTA, DTT and PMSF could reduce ECPase activity to 72.4%, 77.6% and 72.4%, respectively. Cu^2+ , Ca 2+ , K^+ and Mg^2+ exhibited an inhibitory effect on ECPase activity, whereas Fe^3+ , Co^2+ and Mn^2+ could activate ECPase activity. ECPs had good heat stability and exhibited relatively high activities under alkaline conditions. The optimal temperature for ECPs was 55 ℃. Two-dimensional electrophoresis was performed to analyze the main protein of ECPs. The results indicated that there are 12 main bands of ECPs, and the molecular weights mainly ranged between 28-68 kDa. About 120 protein spots were detected, and the molecular weights mainly ranged between 26-95 kDa. The mouse anti- S. iniae was used for Western-blot analysis of ECPs, and the results showed that there were four proteins, with molecular weights of 26, 37, 95, and 97 kDa, respectively. The pathogenicity assay indicated that ECPs of S. iniae were highly pathogenic to tilapia. The mortality rate of tilapia was enhanced as the concentration of ECPs increased.[Conclusions] This study provided a certain theoretical basis for revealing the pathogenic mechanism of Streptococcus iniae .展开更多

A comprehensive review of the bionic stepping motors driven by piezoelectric materials is presented in this work. The main parts of stepping piezoelectric motors, including the feeding module, clamping module, and other critical components, are introduced elaborately. We classify the bionic stepping piezoelectric motors into inchworm motors, seal motors, and inertia motors depending on their main structure modules, and present the mutual transformation relationships among the three types. In terms of the relative position relationships among the main structure modules, each of the inchworm motors, seal motors, and inertia motors can further be divided into walker type, pusher type, and hybrid type. The configurations and working principles of all bionic stepping piezoelectric motors are reported, followed by a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the performance for each type. This work provides theoretical support and thoughtful insights for the understanding, analysis, design, and application of the bionic stepping piezoelectric motors.展开更多
