No full textWu Shan Shen Cha is the leaf of Malus asiatica Nakai., a special type of tea that is consumed in the same way as green tea. To study the effect of Wu Shan Shen Cha-derived flavonoids (WSSCF) on lesions in the stomach, a 15% hydrochloric acid−95% ethanol (volume ratio 4:6) solution was used to induce gastric injury in mice. The degree of gastric injury was assessed using tissue specimens, and the effects of WSSCF on the serum levels of antioxidant enzymes were investigated. The results showed that WSSCF could alleviate the damage of the gastric mucosa and gastric wall caused by the hydrochloric acid−ethanol solution, decrease the tissue and serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in mice with gastric injury, and increase the serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH). The results of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) showed that WSSCF could increase the mRNA expression of Mn-SOD, Cu/Zn-SOD, catalase (CAT), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in tissue specimens from mice with gastric injury and decrease the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). At the same time, the results of the high concentration of WSSCF (WSSCFH) group were closer to those of the drug (ranitidine) treatment group. Wu Shan Shen Cha-derived flavonoids had a good antioxidant effect, so as to play a preventive role in alcoholic gastric injury

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Analysis of the bacterial diversity in the Wu-Shan-Ding mud volcano areas
No full textThis research is focus on the analysis of microbial diversity and existance of methanotrophic microbial strains in Wu-Shan-Ding mud volcano areas. The microbial distribution and diversity in soil surrounding the mud volcano were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The 16S rDNA sequences from PCR-DGGE bands were used to identify the bacterial strains with NCBI gene bank data. The results showed that the microbial diversity in the fresh erupted mud sample varied with other soil samples. The degrees of diversity were propotion to the distance away from the mud volcano. The main bacterial species found in the mud sample are Brevundimonas terrae, Ralstonia solanacearum, Ralstonia taiwanensis, Pseudonocardiaceae bacterium, Ochrobactrum anthropi, Burkholderia phytofirmans, Stenotrophmonas sp., Methylobacterium sp., Cryseobacterium sp., Sphingobacterium sp., Stenotrophomonas sp. MG-3, and Stenotrophomonas sp. EP01. According to documents, all of the above strains are tolerant to high salt and alkaline. The Ochrobactrum anthropi and Burkholderia phytofirmans were found only in the fresh erupted mud sample and the 5-meter soil sample, while Ralstonia mannitolilytica, Ralstonia pickettii, Amycolatopsis rugosa, and Maricaulis sp. were found only in 10-meter soil sample. In other word, all of the soil samples we examed in this study have their own specified bacterial strains. Two methanotrophic microganisms, Methylobacterium organophilum and Ochrobactrum anthropi were also successfully isolated in pure cultures. The biochemical characteristics of these two strains had been studied. These two strains show a potential might be able to use in the bioremediation of petroleum pollution
