Under the conditions of with and without catalysts, a series of experiments were conducted at different temperatures, pressures and reaction time. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography were used to identify and quantify the reactants and products respectively. The conversion of 2-naphthol rises with the increase of reaction temperature, initial pressure and catalyst amount. The results indicated that tem- perature had a significant effect on 2-naphthol conversion, which promoted the dehydroxylation reaction. However, initial pressure had an important influence on the hydrogenation of 2-naphthol and naphthalene. The iron catalyst plays a significant role of cracking instead of hydrogenation. It is concluded that the harsh reaction conditions of high temperature, high pressure, and more catalyst are conducive to promoting dehydroxylation of 2-naphthol. The reaction mechanism was put forward based the experimental results, in which 2-tetralone was an intermediate.展开更多

Methods: Male SD rats were randomized into four groups (n=6): control group (LPS+CCK-8 group), CCK-1R antagonist group, CCK-2R antagonist group, DFSO+PF group. The rats were injected by LPS (5 mg.kg-1). CCK-8 (20 μg.kg-1) was administered 30 min after LPS injection. Either a specific CCK-1R antagonist or CCK-2R antagonist (0.5.kg-1) was injected before CCK-8 treatment (after LPS 20min). The tidal volume (TV) was collected by a multi-channel data physiological recorder. The lung injury was observed by light and electron microscopy. The concentrations of TNF-α、IL-1 and IL-6 in lung homogenates were measured by ELISA kits.Rresults: Compared with control group, the TV were significantly lower and the lung injuries were more serious in CCK-2R antagonist group. As well as the concentrations of TNF-α、IL-1 and IL-6 in lung homogenates were higher.Conclusion: CCK-2 receptor plays a major role in the effect of CCK-8 on lung injury in ETM rats.展开更多

Then the possible effects of recombinant protein on cell proliferation was observed and rabbit-anti-C2orf69 protein polyclonal antibodies was obtained.Methods Gene fragment of C2orf69 was amplified by PCR and then prokaryotic expression plasmid pE T-32a(+)-C2orf69 was constructed. Recombinant protein C2orf69 expression was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The white-ear rabbits were immunized with purified recombinant protein C2orf69, and the potency and specificity of polyclonal antibody were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and Western blot. Also, different liver cells were incubated with recombinant protein C2orf69 in vitro. Results C2orf69 gene fragment was successfully amplified, results of gene sequencing were consistent with the sequence in Gen Bank. Recombinant protein of C2orf69 was successfully induced and expressed. The polyclonal antibody titer was up to 1︰1 280 000 through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results of cell proliferation showed that the recombinant protein could inhibit the proliferation of different liver cells. Conclusions The recombinant protein C2orf69 could inhibit the proliferation of different liver cells, and we speculated that it may be a widely roled inhibitor of hepatocyte proliferation. Our experiment showed that the proliferation inhibition of cells may be realized by G1 phase extending and S phase shortening.展开更多

Southern blot analysis indicated that ZD12-6 is a single copy integration event. The insert site was determined to be at chromosome 1 by border sequence analysis. Expression analyses of Bt fusion protein CrylAb/Cry2Aj and the EPSPS protein G10 suggested that they are both expressed stably in different generations. Insect bioassays demonstrated that the transgenic plants are highly resistant to Asian corn borer (Ostnnia furnacalis), cotton boll worm (Helicoverpa armigera), and armyworm (Mythimna separata). This study suggested that ZD12-6 has the potential to be developed into a commercial transgenic line.展开更多
