RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:To optimize extraction technology of protein from Cryptotympana pustulata and investigate its in vitro antioxidant activity,so as to provide reference for further research of protein from C. pustulata. METHODS:Using extraction amount of protein as response value,based on single factor test,Box-Behnken response surface methodology was used to optimize the ratio of liquid to material,ultraonic time and extraction times.Validation test was conducted. Using Vitamin C(VC)as positive control, in vitro antioxidant activity of protein from C. pustulata was evaluated by using scavenging rate of 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethyl benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)(ABTS)free radical as index. RESULTS:The optimal extraction condition of protein from C.pustulata was as follows as the ratio of liquid to material 28:1(mL/g), ultrasonic time of 65 min,extracting for twice. In validation test,average extraction amount of protein from C. pustulata was 65.45 mg/g(RSD=1.68%,n=3),relative error of which to predicted value was 5.48%. The protein from C. pustulata showed strong scavenging effect on ABTS and DPPH free radicals. When the concentration of protein from C. slough was 0.2 mg/mL,and the scavenging rate of it to ABTS free radicals was 97%,the effect of which was similar to VC.The protein from C. pustulata showed weak scavenging ability to DPPH free radical,IC50was 0.96 mg/mL,the effect of which was not as good as VC. CONCLUSIONS:The extraction technology of protein from C. pustulata optimized by Box-Behnken response surface methodology shows high accuracy and good reliability.The protein from C.pustulata shows certain antioxidant activity in vitro.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:To study the difference of dissolution performance of chemical component and anticonvulsant effect of Bombyx mori decoction and powder taken with water,and to provide reference for the selection of application forms of B. mori. METHODS:The yield of dry extract was determined for decoction and powder biomimetic gastric juice of B. mori. HPLC method was used to detect the content of ammonium oxalate in decoction and powder biomimetic gastric juice of B. mori. The content of protein in decoction and powder biomimetic gastric juice of B. mori was determined with bicinchoninic acid(BCA)method. Mice was divided into normal group(1%Sodium carboxymethylcellulose solution),model group(1%Sodium carboxymethylcellulose solution),positive group (phenytoin,2 mg/kg) and B. mori decoction and powder suspensions high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose groups(0.75,1.5,3 g/kg by crude drug)according to random number table,with 20 mice in each group. After 60 min of intragastric administration,electric stimulation was conducted,and the rate of convulsion in mice was recorded. RESULTS:The yields of dry extract were 22.08% and 26.40% in decoction and powder gastric juice of B. mori (P<0.05);the contents of ammonium oxalate were 11.22% and 16.83% (P<0.05),and the contents of protein was 3.39% and 4.92% (P<0.01). Compared with normal group,convulsion rate of mice was increased significantly in model group (P<0.01);compared with model group,convulsion rates of mice were decreased significantly in administration groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the convulsion rate of mice in B. mori powder suspensions group was lower than decoction group. CONCLUSIONS:The dissolution performance of the chemical component from gastric juice of B. mori powder is better than that of decoction, and the anticonvulsant effect of B. mori powder is better than decoction.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate nutritional knowledge,attitude,and practice (K-A-P) of medical staff in the nerve-related departments in Hebei province,with the aim of determining a basis for the effective education of nutrition.Methods A multicenter,observational study was utilized to conduct a questionnaire survey.642 medical staff in nerve-related departments from 15 hospitals in 11 prefecture level cities was surveyed from September 2016 to March 2017 in Hebei Province.Results were statistically analyzed.Results The overall scores of nutrition knowledge,attitude,and practice were 34.88±22.90,69.14± 16.75 and 42.86± 18.22,respectively.There were positive correlations between nutrition knowledge and attitude (r=0.150,P< 0.001),knowledge and practice (r=0.152,P<0.001),and attitude and practice (r =0.432,P<0.001).The nutrition knowledge score of male medical staff was higher than that of female (t =3.546,P<0.01) however,there was no significant difference between males and females in nutrition attitude and practice scores (t =0.685,P=0.494;t=1.649,P=0.091).In addition,the nutrition knowledge scores of physicians and medical technicians were significantly higher than that of nurses (F=46.89,P<0.01) while the nutrition practice scores of physicians were significantly higher than both medical technicians and nurses (F=7.85,P<0.01).It was also found that nutrition attitude scores of senior and secondary medical staff were higher than junior medical staff (F=5.116,P=0.002) and nutrition practice scores of senior and secondary senior medical staff were higher than that of junior medical staff (F=4.074,P=0.007).Furthermore,it was found that nutrition knoledge scores of undergraduate,master and doctoral degree staff were higher than that of junior college staff (F=15.617,P<0.001) and nutrition attitude score of undergraduate and master degree staff were significantly higher than that of junior college staff (F =4.11,P =0.003).It was also found that the nutrition knowledge scores of medical staff with less than 5 years of work experience were significantly higher than those with more than 5 years of work experience (F=3.312,P =0.02).However,the scores of nutrition attitude of medical staff with more than 15 years of work experience were significantly higher than those with less than 15 years of work experience (F=6.356,P<0.001) and the scores of nutrition practice of medical staff with 10-15 years of work experience were higher than that of less than 5 years and 5-10 years of work experience (F=2.959,P=0.032).It was also identified that the top three ways to obtain nutrition knowledge were learning at work (68.85%),learning at university (68.69%) and reading books and journals (57.79%).Conclusion The medical staff of nerve-related departments in Hebei province has positive attitudes towards nutrition treatments.However,their mastery of nutritional knowledge and practice could and should be improved further.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen the nutrition education for medical staff of the nerve profession.
