Objective To assess the efficiency of algae extermination by the combined copper electrolysis technology. Methods The combined copper electrolysis technology and copper sulphate were used to treat the Synechocystissp strain PCC6803 in the steady stage of culture in different time and the efficiency of algae extermination was assessed. Results No alga in the water sample was detected after 0.5 and 1 hour of treatment with copper electrolysis technology and copper sulphate respectivly as the concentration of Cu2+ was at 0.3 mg/L. The extermination rate of algae was 80.75% after 12 days of treatment of combined copper electrolysis. This technology could effectively decrease the turbidity, smell, COD, ammonia nitrogen and increase the dissolved oxygen in the treated water. Conclusion The Cu2+ released by copper electrolyzing has a stronger efficiency of algae extermination compared with copper sulfate. The combined copper electrolysis technology will be a satisfactory method for algae extermination in the landscape water.

Objective To study the association of the serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(SICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(SVCAM-1) with metabolic syndrome(MS) and its components. Methods The MS was defined by criteria of the international diabetes federation. The levels of SICAM-1 ,SVCAM-1,plasma glucose,insulin,lipids,uric acid, glycosylated haemoglobin A(1C), and blood viscosity were measured. Results The concentrations of SICAM-1 and SVCAM-1 were significantly higher in subjects with MS and its components than in those without them. The concentrations of SICAM-1 and SVCAM-1 were correlated positively with disorder number of BMI, WHR, SBP, DBP,FPG, 2 hour plasma glucose, triglyceride, uric acid, HbA1c, blood viscosity and HOMA-IR,and negatively with high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusions The concentrations of SICAM-1 and SVCAM-1 rise with the increase of the number of MS components. Endothelial dysfunction might participate in the occurrence and development of MS.

Objective To research the protective effect of insulin(IN)on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)- induced impairments of rat cardiomyocytes H9c2,and the role of uncoupling protein 2(UCP2)in this process. Methods Using randomized controlled grouping,after cultured for 24 h,H9c2 cells were randomly divided into 5 groups as follows:con-trol group,LPS stimulation group(LPS group),LPS + 70 IU/ L IN group(IN 70 IU/ L group),LPS + 350 IU/ L IN group(IN 350 IU/ L group),and LPS + 700 IU/ L IN group(IN 700 IU/ L group). H9c2 cells in IN group were treated with 70 IU/ L,350 IU/ L or 700 IU/ L IN 15 min before LPS stimulation,and H9c2 cells in control group were treated with an equal volume of saline. After that,cells in group LPS and IN were treated with LPS for 24 h. Lactate dehydro-genase(LDH)in the culture was determined with LDH detecting assay kit. The activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS)and superoxide dismutase(SOD),and content of malonaldehyde(MDA)were determined by colorimetric detec-tion. Cell viability was evaluated by cell count kit - 8. The expressions of UCP2 in transcription and translation levels were detected through transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot respectively. Results The levels of LDH,MDA,and intracellular ROS in LPS group significantly increased compared with control group[LDH:(829. 3 ± 75. 3)U/ L vs(223. 5 ± 23. 6)U/ L,MDA:(60. 90 ± 5. 73)nmol/ mgprot vs(19. 70 ± 1. 99)nmol/ mgprot,ROS:(410. 2 ± 81. 6)U/ well vs(94. 3 ± 18. 5)U/ well,all P ﹤ 0. 05)],while the cell viability and SOD activity significantly decreased[cell viability:0. 822 ± 0. 058 vs 1. 012 ± 0. 023,SOD:(49. 20 ± 5. 81)U/ mgprot vs(89. 80 ± 2. 57)U/ mg-prot,all P ﹤ 0. 05]. And the mRNA and protein expressions of UCP2 in LPS stimulation group were up - regulated (1. 867 ± 0. 130 vs 1. 028 ± 0. 097,0. 288 ± 0. 018 vs 0. 180 ± 0. 008,all P ﹤ 0. 05). 350 IU/ L and 700 IU/ L IN inter-vention significantly decreased the levels of LDH,MDA and intracellular ROS[LDH:(568. 2 ± 35. 7)U/ L,(622. 8 ± 27. 6)U/ L vs(829. 3 ± 75. 3)U/ L,MDA:(29. 20 ± 4. 20)nmol/ mgprot,(42. 10 ± 2. 32)nmol/ mgprot vs(60. 90 ± 5. 73)nmol/ mgprot,ROS:(270. 3 ± 46. 8)U/ well,(301. 5 ± 16. 9)U/ well vs(410. 2 ± 81. 6)U/ well,all P ﹤ 0. 05], increased the cell survival and the levels of SOD activity[cell viability:0. 960 ± 0. 029,0. 906 ± 0. 039 vs 0. 822 ± 0. 058,SOD:(75. 20 ± 2. 21)U/ mgprot,(61. 20 ± 3. 38)U/ mgprot vs(49. 20 ± 5. 81)U/ mgprot,all P ﹤ 0. 05]. And IN with 350 IU/ L and 700 IU/ L increased the mRNA and protein expression of UCP2(3. 830 ± 0. 265,2. 855 ± 0. 215 vs 1. 867 ± 0. 130,0. 464 ± 0. 215,0. 355 ± 0. 006 vs 0. 288 ± 0. 018,all P ﹤ 0. 05). Compared with 70 IU/ L and 700 IU/ L IN group,350 IU/ L IN group had better results. Conclusions IN attenuates LPS - induced oxidative injury in H9c2 cells,which is probably mediated through up - regulating the expression of UCP2.
