Objective:To study the antimicrobial effect of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture base with silver-containing antimicrobial agents of nanometer level against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans in vitro. Methods:Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the silver-containing antimicrobial agent against S. mutans and C. albicans was examined. According to the MIC, 4 concentrations(1,2,5 and 10 mg/ml) of the agent were selected for the preparation of antimicrobial PMMA resin base. Then, the antimicrobial effect of the resin base was examined by in vitro bacteria culture and the most probable number(MPN) counting. Results:The MICs of the agent against S. mutans and C. albicans were 0.1 mg/ml and 1 mg/ml respectively. With the agent at 1, 2, 5 and 10 mg/ml, the inhibition ratios of the base against S.mutans were 67.4%,71.3%,99.0 and 99.5% respectively, that against C. albicans were 25.8%,54.8%,90.3% and 93.0%, respectively. Conclusion:The polymethylmethacrylate resin base with silver-containing antimicrobial agent of nanometer level at 5 mg/ml has ideal antimicrobial activity against S. mutans and C. albicans.

Methods:The antimicrobial PMMA resin bases with the antimicrobial agent STR-1 at concentration of 5 mg/ml were prepared. Then the samples were divided into 4 groups: positive control group, the group immersed in distilled water at 57 ℃ for 14 days, the group irradiated by ultraviolet for 8 hours, and the group irradiated by ultraviolet for 8 hours after immersed in distilled water at 57 ℃ for 14 days. Then the inhibition ratios of the 4 groups against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans in vitro were tested. Results:The inhibition ratios of the 4 groups against Streptococcus mutans were 99%, 96%, 98%, and 90% in turn. The inhibition ratios of the 4 groups against Candida albicans were 91%, 82%, 90%, and 80% respectively. Conclusion: The antimicrobial effect of PMMA denture base containing silver-supported antimicrobial agents STR-1 of nanometer level at concentration of 5 mg/ml against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans in vitro is durable.

Background A stable diabetic cataract animal model is a premise for screening and evaluating the drug for cataract therapy.Galactose cataract model is widely used in relevant experimental study,but the onset,extent and the type of lens opacification may be different due to different modeling way.Objective This study was to investigate the manifestations and pathological characteristics of cataract induced by D-galactose.Methods Fifty-six SPF SD rats were randomly divided into cataract-model group and control group and 28 rats for each group.50% D-galactose feed was given daily in model group,and regular feed was given in control group.Lenses of rats were examined under the slit lamp through the 30-day period at a 2-day interval,and then the opacity of lenses was graded on the modified Suryanarayana criteria.The body weight of rats was recorded and compared between two groups at day 5,10,15,20,25 and 30.The lenses samples were obtained for the histopathological examination by hemotoxylin and eosin staining.The wet weight,dry weight of the lenes and their ratio were detected and compared between these two groups.The use of animals followed the Regulation for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results The body weight was reduced in model rats compared with control rats with the statistically significant difference from 10 days through 30 days(P＜0.05).The different grades of opacification of lens cortical and nuclear progressed in model rats throughout the experiment duration,but the lenses were clear in control rats.The slit-lamp microscopy and pathological examinations revealed that lenses opacity in model rats started from the cortex at the equator zone and developed towards central zone gradually with the lapse of experimental time.Following the entire opacity of lens cortex,lens nucleus were cloudy and expanded.The swelling and degeneration of the fiber cells in lens cortex,the differentiation,migration and denuclearation delay of lens epithelial cells were seen in model rats under the light microscope.The wet weight of lenses was increased and the dry weight was decreased in model rats in comparison with control rats in experimental 30 days,showing significant difference between two groups(t=138.571,t=52.468,P＜0.05).Conclusion The development of galactose-induced cataract animal model resemble one of age-related cortical cataract in human with the similar generating mechanism.This cataract model is reproducible and classifiable.

Background Sugar cataract is one of the major diabetic complications in the eye,but there is not effective medicine to prevent or delay development of cataract. Objective The goal of this study was to investigate the effects and the potential mechanism of aldose reductase (AR) inhibitor,AL-1576 on prevention of galactose cataract in rats. Methods Forty-two SD rats were randomly and equally divided into 7 groups.The cataracts were induced by feeding with 50％ galactose.At the day of feeding galactose and the day 5,10 and 15 after feeding galactose,AL-1576 was added into the feeds.The rats were divided AL-1576 prevention group and early-,intermediate-or late-stage intervention groups.For another group,the withdrawing AL-1576 group,AL-1576 was added into the feeds at the day of feeding galactose,then was removed after 10 days.The lenses of the rats were examined under the slit-lamp microscope before and after given AL-1576 every 5 days.At the day 35,the lenses were obtained.The wet and dry weight of the lenses were weighted,respectically,to calculate the water content of the lenses.Activities of AR and superoxidedismutase (SOD) and contents of glutathione (GSH) of the lenses were measured by their commercial detecting kits.The care and use of the animals complied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affairs Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission. Results In AL-1576 prevention group,all lenses maintained clear.Opacification of the lenses were significantly attenuated in all three AL-1576 intervention groups and withdrawing AL-1576 group compared with the cataractous model group ( P＜0.05),but the inhibiting role was weaken with late intervention.The water contents and the activities of AR of the lenses were decreased,the contents of SOD and GSH were dramatically increased in all different AL-1576 treated groups compared with the cataractous model group (P＜0.05).Moreover,AL-1576 prevention group showed the best effect on all indexes (P＜0.05). Conclusions The activity of AR can be inhibited by AL-1576 at the different stages of development of cataract induced by galactose.By blocking and attenuating formation of the edema and elevating antioxdative capacity in the lenses,AL-1576 prevents and delays the formation of galactose cataract.

Flocculation of fermented broth with 1,3 -propanediol using component B of natural clarifier-Ⅱ was studied. Firstly, single factor tests and orthogonal tests were carried out. The results showed the main factors which influenced the flocculation and the optimal conditions were: pH6.0, flocculant B 0.01g/L , NaCl 0g/L, and the FR was 95.97% . The following results by filtration experiments, compared with the sample without pretreatment, indicated that the filtration speed of the flocculated sample was improved dramatically, and the weights of net and dry filter cakes were increased by 41.13% and 51.88% , respectively. Electrodialysis experiments showed that flocculation could accelerate desalting process, and could take the place of centrifugal pretreatment when it combined with the filtration.
