Objective: Auricularid auricula polysaccharide was isolated from Auricularia auricula, and then iron(Ⅲ)-Auricularia auricula polysaccharide complex(APC) was prepared. Methods: APC was synthesized with FeCl 3 and its physico-chemical property and bioavailability were determined. Results: APC was able to dissolve in water and its solution assumed neutral, and this complex did not precipitate at pH from 3 to 11 in water solution, so APC was very stable. Fe(Ⅲ) in APC could be reduced to Fe(Ⅱ) by ascorbic acid. Extracorporeal dissolubility showed Fe(Ⅲ) in APC could be exhibited in 6 h. Bioavailabity studies showed the iron from APC could be well absorbed and maintained longer in serum concentration. Conclusion: APC was able to have better bioavilability as an iron supplement.

Objective:To learn about the knowledge, attitude and behavior of brucellosis and brucellosis infection in Tongyu County, Jilin Province, and to provide a reference for the formulation of prevention and control measures in relocated poverty alleviation and relocation areas.Methods:Using a multi-stage sampling method, three townships, Xianghai Township, Wulanhua Town and Xinhua Town were selected in Tongyu County, where the incidence of brucellosis is high in Jilin Province; then Miren, Huimin, Longjing, Xinfeng and Dayou villages from the three townships were surveyed. A face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted among the villagers to collect the knowledge, attitude and behavior of brucellosis; and blood samples were collected from the villagers according to the principle of informed consent for brucellosis serological tests, and according to the "Diagnostic criteria for Brucellosis (WS 269-2007)" for diagnosis.Results:A total of 274 questionnaires were distributed and 244 valid questionnaires were collected with a recovery rate of 89.05%. Among them, 233 people had heard of brucellosis, accounting for 95.49%. The total awareness rate of knowledge related to brucellosis prevention and control was 39.29% (2 205/5 612), of which the total awareness rate of "knowledge related to brucellosis prevention" was 71.99% (527/732), and the total awareness rate of "knowledge related to human infection with brucellosis" was 38.08% (1 115/2 928), and the total awareness rate of "knowledge about brucellosis in animals" was 28.84% (563/1 952). A total of 90.13% (21/233) people supported the brucellosis prevention and control plan (such as free screening for brucellosis, publicity and education, immunization, culling, etc.), and 61.54% (48/78) of the people would take the initiative to buy protective equipment. The contact rates of livestock through assisted feeding and slaughtering were 27.46% (67/244) and 11.48% (28/244), respectively, and the total protection rates of sheep pens cleaning and slaughtering were 30.91% (102/330) and 21.43% (30/140), respectively. In terms of brucellosis infection, a total of 1 confirmed case, 1 latent infection and 37 suspected cases were found.Conclusions:The awareness rate of "knowledge related to brucellosis prevention" in Tongyu County is generally good, but the awareness rate of "knowledge about brucellosis in animals" is low, and the protection rate of some brucellosis prevention and control behaviors is poor. Health and epidemic prevention departments should carry out targeted health education, improve and optimize propaganda methods in order to improve the protection level of the general population and reduce the risk of brucellosis infection.
