The macroporous resin separation technology has been mainly applied in the enrichment of saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids and other ingredients, and used in the removal of heavy metal impurities and pesticide residues in recent years. This paper focuses on the synthesis of the new-type macroporous adsorption resin LKS-11 according to the molecular structure characteristics of procymidone. Specifically, the selective absorptive property and other advantages of macroporous resin were utilized to analyze the procymidone removal efficiency in ginseng extracts from different sources. The type of macroporous resins, absorptive property and desorption conditions were observed respectively by static and dynamic adsorption methods to determined the optimum process conditions. According to the results, LKS-11 showed a good absorptive property to procymidone in ginseng extracts and provided a theoretical basis for studies on the removal of procymidone residues from ginseng extracts by using macroporous adsorption resin. Because of no secondary pollution on samples, low production and operation costs, high procymidone removal efficiency and high product recovery rate, this method is suitable to be applied in production.

A cadmium column reduction-azo dyes spectrophotometric method based on micro sequential injection lab-on-valve was established for the determination of total nitrogen in seawater. The experimental parameters were optimized, and the interference experiment was carried out. The results showed that the interference of the main components and salinity in sea water could be eliminated by using a series of standard solution prepared by national standard seawater with certain salinity. The concentration of total nitrogen in seawater was linear with the absorbance in the range of 0 . 03-1 . 00 mg/L with a correlation coefficient of 0. 9993. When determining the national standard seawater at nitrogen concentration of 0. 20 mg/L, the relative standard deviation (RSD) was 4. 9%, the detection limit was 0. 010 mg/L, and the recoveries were 99. 5%-101 . 1%. There were not significance differences between the results of this method and national standard method in the t-test analysis. The method is suitable for the determination of total nitrogen in seawater.

BACKGROUND:Different methods to remove immunogenicity have different effects on the spatial microstructure of antigen-extracted heterologous bone.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the microstructure of the antigen-extracted heterologous bone via different methods to provide experimental data for tissue engineering industrialization.
METHODS:Fresh cancellous bones extracted from adult sheep vertebrae were prepared into cylinders. Their long axis direction was the same with orientation of the trabeculae. After vibration washing and different-frequency ultrasound rinsing, the cylinder samples were randomly divided into three groups:in physical calcined group, the samples were defatted, decellularized and deproteinized sequential y using methanol/chloroform and hydrogen peroxide, then bathed in sodium pyrophosphate and directly calcined at 1 000 ℃ for 3 hours;in chemical group, the samples were defatted, decellularized and deproteinized sequential y using methanol/chloroform and hydrogen peroxide;in control group, the samples were dried natural y at room temperature. Microstructure of the samples in each group was analyzed and compared through determination of porosity, scanning electron microscopy observation, X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray atomic spectroscopy elemental analysis microscopic spatial structure.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The physical calcined and chemical groups maintained natural network pore system to different extents. The size of the large pore was 50-600μm and that of the smal one was about 2μm. The porosity was 55%to 70%. Hydroxyapatite was the main component of the physical calcined group which was determined by X-ray diffraction, and a smal amount of theβ-Tricalcium phosphate was also determined. In the chemical group, the main component was only hydroxyapatite. The three-dimensional spatial structures of the deproteinized cancellous bones were not damaged greatly, and they had a natural pore network system. Antigen component of xenogeneic cancellous bone can be more thoroughly removed by physical calcination step. The scaffold material made by antigen-extracted heterologous bone may satisfy the demands for bone tissue-engineering scaffolds.
