Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2001;(2):114-116
Objective To examine the soluble protein patterns of three ordinary species of cockroaches in Anhui province by SDS-PAGE technique, and to find the method of scientific classification for cockroaches. Methods The soluble protein liquid was made by the way of freezing and melting homogenate. SDS-PAGE was carried out in the liquid. After using Coomassie brilliant blue G250, the molecular weight of all of protein strips were measured and calculated by standard curve. Results The numbers of female and male of Periplaneta fuliginosa were 31 strips and 29 strips; the numbers of female and male of Periplaneta Americana were 30 strips and 28strips; the numbers of female and male of Blattella germarica were 28 strips and 25 strips. The number and location of protein bands were different among these species. It was also obvious that the positions of the main protein bands in Blattella germarica were different from those in two Periplaneta species, and the positions of the main protein bands in female insect were different from those in male insect. Conclusion SDS-PAGE can be used as one of classification methods for cockroaches.
2.Shape-memory intratubal contraceptive material versus other intratubal contraceptive materials:Characteristics analysis
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(47):8263-8268
BACKGROUND:Intratubal contraceptive devices are simple and effective, which can cause less interference on female reproductive function and endocrine balance.
OBJECTIVE:To explain the advantages and adverse effects of shape-memory intratubal contraceptive material and other intratubal contraceptive materials.
METHODS:A computer-based search of Wanfang, CNKI and PubMed was performed to search related articles concerning shape-memory intratubal contraceptive material and other intratubal contraceptive materials published from 1996 to 2013.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The main intratubal contraceptive materials include memory metal biomaterials, non-degradable polymer biomaterials, and degradable polymer biomaterials. After implantation, the memory-shape intratubal contraceptive device plays a stimulating role in the tubal epithelium for a short time, but the effect on the mucosal epithelial layer of the fal opian tube is transient. With the increasing time of implantation, inflammatory reactions of the tubal epithelium relieve gradual y with repair of vil i on the tubal wal , indicating there is a reproductive tissue basis of fal opian tube recanalization. Polyethylene materials are characterized as high impact resistance, abrasion resistance, excellent stability to chemical drugs, water absorption, electric insulation, and bioinert, which are used as stent materials of almost al the intrauterine devices. Silicone is characterized as heat resistance, cold resistance, non-toxicity, resistance to biological aging, chemical stability, physical inertia, physical and mechanical properties, and silicone, after implantation into human body, cannot cause foreign body reaction. Polylactic acid has good chemical inertness, biocompatibility and ease of processing, and may be stil present in the body after 5 years of implantation.
