Inhibition of Fusarium graminearum by silver nanoparticles / 生物工程学报

Silver nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction. Fusarium graminearum was used as the test strain. To study the inhibition of F. graminearum by silver nanoparticles, we studied the activities of protective enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT), and the contents of osmotic adjustment substances soluble protein, soluble sugar and malonaldehyde (MDA) in F. graminearum. Silver nanoparticles inhibited F. graminearum and the inhibitory effect was increased with the concentration of silver nanoparticles. The inhibition rate of 10 μg/mL silver nanoparticles was more than 90% and EC50 was 0.59 μg/mL. When the treating time prolonged (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h), the activity of SOD, CAT and POD increased firstly and then declined. SOD, POD and CAT reached the maximum at 4 hours, and decreased to minimum at 10 hours. Silver nanoparticles also increased the MDA content and reduced the soluble sugar and protein contents in pathogens. These results indicated that cell integrity was destroyed in the presence of silver. This may be one of the inhibiting mechanisms of silver nanoparticles on the growth of F. graminearum.

Treatment of the local masses complicated after the periorbital fat transplantation / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To evaluate the causes of local masses found after periocular fat grafting,and the way of treatment in order to avoid the medical dispute.Methods In 37 patients with local mass being repaired,15 patients with superficial bulges were treated through surgical removal and as piration;10 patients with focal masses were treated with aspiration;12 patients with bulges close to eyelid margin and failure after the first two treatment methods were treated through incision.Results Histopathologic findings showed the characteristic features of lipogranuloma.Chronic inflammatory cells were infiltrated.Numerous,variable-sized lipid vacuoles were surrounded by histiocytes and for eign body-type giant cells.There were areas of fibrosis and fat necrosis.35 cases were followed-up for 3 months to 1 years.Both doctors and patients were satisfied with results in 27 cases,basically satisfied in 6 cases,but not satisfied in 2 cases.Two patients were lost to follow up.Conclusions The special complication of masses in the periocular fat grafting operation can be greatly improved with the personalized therapy.
