Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1982;0(01):-
Objective To investigate the surface sterilization and modification of medical poly(tetrafluoroethylene)(PTFE) by remote argon plasma.Methods Carrier quantitative bactericidal test was used to examine the germicidal effect(GE) of the E.coli on the surface of medical PTFE film and surface structure,performances of sterilized PTFE were characterized by the water contact angle,mass loss and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).Results Both remote and conventional argon plasmas could sterilize effectively(GE≥3.769) in the conditions of plasma RF power 100 W,exposure time 120 s and argon flux 20 cm3/min.Remote argon plasma sterilization made the PTFE surface have higher hydrophilicity(?=58.5?) than the conventional argon plasma sterilization(?=70.5?) and did not cause remarkable degradation and damages in terms of the mass loss(mass loss was 11.8%).Remote argon plasma sterilization could enhance interaction reactions with argon radicals relative to those with electron and argon ions,thereby contributing more effectively to defluorination(F/C=2.24) from the PTFE than the conventional argon plasma sterilization(F/C=2.49) and more effectively to the formation of oxygen functionalities on the PTFE surface.Conclusion Remote argon plasma can inactivate E.coli effectively and at the same time bring better surface modification of PTFE.

4.The advantages of pyriproxyfen, a juvenile hormone mimic, for mosquito control
China Tropical Medicine 2024;24(6):627-
Abstract: Mosquitoes and mosquito-borne illnesses remain one of the major public threats which is intensified by the emergence and resurgence of new and existing vector species. Mosquito control is often the only sustainable measure to combat mosquito-borne diseases due to lack or limitation in vaccinations and/or effective medications. Among mosquito control interventions, larviciding to target aquatic habitats is more cost-effective and feasible as opposite to adulticiding which focuses on air-borne adult stages. The available mosquito larvicides are at a historical low owing to numerous reasons. Currently, available larvicides are based on microbial agents, insect growth regulators (IGRs), and a few others of botanical origins. In the IGR arena, juvenile hormone mimics have drawn a lot of attention in research, development, and application. Pyriproxyfen (PPF) was first developed in the early 1970s by Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd. (SCC). Its great potential and safety profile to control a wide variety of arthropod pests have been recognized ever since. The current review provides general information and highlights the following advantages of PPF: unique mode of action to mimic the action of natural juvenile hormone (JH) in mosquitoes, broad target spectrum against many mosquito species, the highest bioactivity against mosquitoes as compared with all other known or potential mosquito larvicides, low risk in resistance development and lack of cross-resistance with other larvicides studied, and high activity against species in Stegomyia group. Recently, more potential uses of PPF against adult mosquitoes in bait, barrier treatment, and bed net treatment have been on the horizon. Environmental concerns about PPF residues and their metabolites are also discussed. In general, PPF is one of the critical tools in combating mosquito species of public health importance for now and the foreseeable future.

Objective To discriminate the species and individual identification with mitochondrial DNA (mtD-NA) sequencing in forensic medicine practice. Methods The multiplex PCR of mtDNA loop - D high - variation region and cytochrome- b region were investigated. The PCR products were detected with silver- stain method,followed by analysis of the PCR products with fluorescence sequence technique. Results The presence of two bands (358bp,279bp ) indicated the samples were from human, while only one band of 358bp indicated nonhuman origin. The part of mitochondrial DNA loop - D high - variation region (15997 ~ 16236) from 131 unrelated individuals of Guangdong population were sequenced. In all of these samples there were 69 nucleotide variations and 67 haplo-types.There was 2.679 mutation sites on average per person. The polymorphism was 97.92% . Conclusion The methods described here are reliable and very useful in species and personal identification of degraded samples.
