Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control 1989;0(04):-
Objective To understand whether phenol oxidase (PO) existed in the body of Oncomelania hupensis and to observe histological distribution of the enzyme. Methods Enzyme histochemical method: adult female and male snails collected from the riverside of Yangtze River of Wuhu section were anatomized and consequently incubated in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer containing 25 mmol/L catechol at 37 ℃. Then under a stereo microscope, some of the snails were observed and recorded for the existing condition and histological distribution of PO in their bodies. Fluorescent histochemical method: after the process of incubation mentioned above, catechol were exsucted from the group of other snails. Afterward, some phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.8) containing 0.05% sodium penobarbital was added into the group. Then the existing condition and histological distribution of PO were also observed and recorded under a fluorescent microscope. Results The first method indicated that the color of the liver surface turned from French grey to light grey in 5 minutes, to grey in 15 minutes and black in 30 minutes. The second method showed that fluorescien appeared on the surface of the snail liver. Conclusion PO exists in the bodies of male and female snails and locates in their livers.

Objective To explore the relationship between the Yangtze River floodplain ecological environment(vegetation, soil,water and light intensity)and the distribution of Oncomelania hupensis snails,so as to provide the evidence for ecological snail control. Methods Three regions(the Lu-Gang Bridge,Dragon Nest Lake in the bund,and Dragon Nest lake beach)were selected to investigate the plant characteristics(species,height,coverage,frequency and strain of clusters),soil characteristics (temperature,humidity,light intensity)and pH value. All the results were analyzed statistically with SPSS 18 software. Results A total of 920 boxes were investigated. The vegetation coverage was 3.7%-63.5%,and the dominant population was Cyperusrotun-dus L. cluster on the marshland. The soil temperature was 19.0℃-24.0℃,pH 5.0-5.7,and humidity 53%-75%. There were statis-tical significants in average number of living snails and dead snails among 3 groups( P<0.05). As the light intensity was strong in summer and weak in winter,the snails were in the back surface in summer and front surface in winter respectively. The average number of living snails was the most near the water. The difference was statistical significant(P<0.01)among three ranges(0-1 m,1-3 m and 3-5 m). Conclusion The snail survival and distribution have close relations with micro ecological environment factors,such as vegetation,soil,water and light intensity.

Objective To synthesize a new reagent, 1-(6-bromo-2-benzothiazolyl)-3-(5-bromo-8-quinolyl)-triazene (BBTBQT) and apply to the determination of cobalt. Methods The reagent had been synthesized by diazotization and coupling reaction. After purification and characterization, BBTBQT was tested for its color reaction conditions with cobalt in the presence of cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB). Results In the presence of borax buffer solution at pH value of 9.0, the reagent reacted with cobalt to form a blue stable complex with a molar ratio of 2∶1; the complex had a maximum absorption at 640 nm. The apparent molar absorptivity of the complex is 1.55 ?105 L/(mol?cm). Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of 0-0.28 mg/L for cobalt. The method had been applied to determine cobalt in drainage sediment and vitamin B12 injection solution with a mean relative error of 1.9%-5.8% and a standard relative deviation of 1.7%-3.8%. Conclusion The present method is selective, sensitive, accurate, convenient and suitable for determination of trace cobalt in the samples.

Pyroglyphidae accounted for the most in the population with the breeding rate of 45.00%. Totally 18 504 mites were found and Dermatophagoides farina and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus were the dominant species with the composition ratios of 30.21%5 590 mites and 17.83% 3 300 mites respectively. The third?ranked kindergartens were in the most serious situation con?cerning with 81.67% 98/120 of the breeding rate of Acaroid mites. The differences were statistically significant among the kin?dergartens with different ranks F=6.048 χ2=73.523 both P<0.05 . There were no significant differences about the Aca?roid mite population among different grades in kindergartens F=0.132 χ2 =2.377 both P>0.05 . Conclusion Acaroid mites in the kindergartens in Wuhu City were in serious condition and the population and species composition of Acaroid mite community is influenced by the human behavior and indoors environments.

Objective To study the seasonal changes of glucose levels per unit soft tissue of Oncomelania hupensis. Meth-ods O. hupensis snails were collected from the beach of the Qingyi River in Wuhu City,Anhui Province from August 2012 to July 2013. They were kept in minus 80℃refrigerator immediately. The male snails were distinguished from female,and their soft tissues were collected separately after crushing their shells. The hexokinase method was used to measure the glucose concen-trations,and the results were analyzed statistically. Results The contents of glucose decreased from March to July. The lowest glucose content in the female was 1.87μg/mg in March,and that in male was 3.70μg/mg in July. Both of them increased from August and reached peak levels in September(♀=57.38μg/mg,♂=44.39μg/mg),and then gradually decreased from Octo-ber to next January and increased in February. Conclusion The contents of glucose have seasonal changes regularly in O. hu-pensis.

Objective To find out a quick,simple and convenient method of determining the viability of Oncomelania hupen-sis. Methods O. hupensis snails were stained for 30 minutes by 0.05%water soluble dye neutral red,0.5%methylene blue,red ink,methylene blue-eosin-borax(MEB)and 0.4%trypan blue,respectively. The soft tissue samples of the snails were observed by a stereoscopic microscope after crushing their shells. Results The vital snails were stained and the dead were unstained in the neutral red. The vital and dead snails were unstained in methylene blue. However,the vital and dead snails were stained in red ink. The partial vital and dead snails were stained in MEB. The vital snails were stained and the partial dead were stained in trypan blue. Conclusion The use of 0.05%water soluble dye neutral red is simple,rapid and accurate in determination of the viability of O. hupensis.

Collagen is a kind of natural biomedical material and collagen based three-dimensional porous scaffolds have been widely used in skin tissue engineering. However, these scaffolds do not meet the requirements for artificial skin substitutes in terms of their poor mechanical properties, short supply, and rejection in the bodies. All of these factors limit their further application in skin tissue engineering. A variety of methods have been chosen to meliorate the situation, such as cross linking and blending other substance for improving mechanical properties. The highly biomimetic scaffolds either in structure or in function can be prepared through culturing cells and loading growth factors. To avoid the drawbacks of unsafety attributing to animals, investigators have fixed their eyes on the recombinant collagen. This paper reviews the the progress of research and application of collagen-based 3-dimensional porous scaffolds in skin tissue engineering.
