RESUMO

Excessive exercise leads to myocardial injury or even sudden exercise death. For the vast sports population, appropriate physiological state is a necessary condition for exercise. The present study aims to investigate the cardioprotective effects and potent mechanism of astragalus polysaccharide (APS) treatment against the exercise-induced myocardial injury via in vitro cell-based assay and in vivo model rat. Efficacies of APS incubation on the inflammatory response and oxidative stress induced by LPS were both explored in H9c2 cells by using CCK-8 and western blotting method, respectively. Normal SD rats were randomly divided into saline-treated overexercise rat group, and APS-treated overexercise rat groups with three doses. Then long-term swimming training load cycle (8 week) were performed on these rats. Finally, the changes on body weight, myocardial morphological and injury indicators, as well as the inflammation-related proteins in overexercise-induced model rats were all assessed. Three concentrations of APS all significantly increased cell viability, and decreased the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes in LPS-treated H9c2 cells. Moreover, chronic treatment of APS at all three doses also could obviously decreased myocardial injury-related indicators. Furthermore, the histopathologic examination exhibited that the APS successfully attenuated the changes of myocardial tissues, reduced the lipid accumulation and the protein levels of IL-1ß, TNF-α and NF-κB. Furthermore, the APS could activate the AMPK signaling pathway, enhance the autophagy and suppress the production of ROS. On conclusions, APS exerted the protective efficacies on overexercise-induced myocardial injury by activating the AMPK signaling pathway to increase autophagy and suppress the inflammation response, oxidative stress, apoptosis of myocardial cells.

RESUMO

Nearly 1400 Bacillus strains growing in the plant rhizosphere were sampled from different sites on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Forty-five of the isolates, selected due to their biocontrol activity, were genome-sequenced and their taxonomic identification revealed that they were representatives of the Bacillus subtilis species complex (20) and the Bacillus cereus group (9). Majority of the remaining strains were found closely related to Bacillus pumilus, but their average nucleotide identity based on BLAST and electronic DNA/DNA hybridization values excluded closer taxonomic identification. A total of 45 different gene clusters involved in synthesis of secondary metabolites were detected by mining the genomes of the 45 selected strains. Except eight mesophilic strains, the 37 remaining strains were found either cold-adapted or psychrophilic, able to propagate at 10°C and below (Bacillus wiedmannii NMSL88 and Bacillus sp. RJGP41). Pot experiments performed at 10°C with winter wheat seedlings revealed that cold-adapted representatives of B. pumilus, B. safensis and B. atrophaeus promoted growth of the seedlings under cold conditions, suggesting that these bacilli isolated from a cold environment are promising candidates for developing of bioformulations useful for application in sustainable agriculture under environmental conditions unfavourable for the mesophilic bacteria presently in use.

RESUMO

Mineralization of dinitrotoluenes (DNT) and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in wastewater was conducted under ultrasonic irradiation. The batch-wise experiments were carried out to elucidate the influence of various operating parameters on the sonolytic behavior, including power intensity, acidity of wastewater, reaction temperature and oxygen dosage. It is remarkable that the nitrotoluenes contained could be almost completely decomposed by the sonochemical oxidation method, wherein the pyrolytic reaction was responsible for the destruction of organic compounds. During the sonication tests, the influence of reaction temperature on the degradation of nitrotoluenes is the most significant, followed by power intensity, acidity of wastewater and oxygen dosage. Based on the spectra obtained from gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS), it is suggested that 2,4,6-TNT is preliminarily denitrated to 2,6-DNT. The denitration of 2,6-DNT and/or 2,4-DNT results in the formation of o-mononitrotoluene, which proceeds with the cleavage of nitro group into toluene, followed by oxidation of methyl group and decarboxylation. In this study, it is believed that the sonolytic technique established is promising for wastewater disposal in toluene nitration processes.

RESUMO

The high purity crystal of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) could be successfully recovered from spent acid in a short period through diluting method assisted with ultrasonic irradiation. The sonication tests were carried out to elucidate the influence of various ultrasonic powers on the performance of crystallization of 2,4-DNT. It is remarkable that under the supersaturated condition ultrasonic irradiation could significantly accelerate the crystal formation, in which the purity of 2,4-DNT reaches to approximate 98.9 wt%. Based on the particle size distribution of crystals, it is proposed that the enhancement on recovery rate of 2,4-DNT crystals by ultrasound is mainly ascribed to the elevation of mass transfer rate for crystal growth. According to the spectra examined by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), the above hypothesis is further verified by the appearance of smoother surface of crystals. Furthermore, the results of metallurgical microscope measurements show that ultrasound has also an abrasive effect on 2,4-DNT crystals under high ultrasonic power inputs.
