| 1 | Identification of Monitoring Organ in Bivalves for Early Warning of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins Accumulation显示文摘Bivalve farming plays a dominant role in mariculture in China.Paralytic shellfish toxins(PSTs)can be accumulated in bivalves and cause poisoning the consumers.A sensitive detection of PSTs can provide early warning to decrease poisoning events in bivalve consuming.PSTs are traditionally examined using the whole soft-tissues.However,PSTs accumulation varies dramatically in different tissues of bivalves.Some tough tissues/organs(such as mantle),which account for a large proportion of the total soft body,exhibit a lower accumulation of PSTs and make the toxin extraction time-and reagent-consuming,potentially decreasing the accuracy and sensitivity of PSTs monitoring in bivalves.To develop a sensitive and cost-effective approach for PSTs examination in massively farmed bivalves,we fed three commercially important bivalves,Yesso scallop Patinopecten yessoensis,Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas,and blue mussel Mytilus edulis with PSTs-producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella,and detected PSTs concentration in different tissues.For all three bivalve species,the digestive gland accumulated much more PSTs than other tissues,and the digestive gland’s toxicity was significantly correlated with the PSTs toxicity of the whole soft-tissues,with r^(2)=0.94,0.92,and 0.94 for Yesso scallop,Pacific oyster,and blue mussel,respectively.When the toxicity of the whole soft-tissues reached 80μgSTXeq(100g)^(−1),the regulatory limit for commercial shellfish,the digestive gland’s toxicity reached 571.48,498.90,and 859.20μgSTXeq(100g)^(−1) in Yesso scallop,Pacific oyster,and blue mussel,respectively.Our results indicate that digestive gland can be used for the sensitive and cost-effective monitoring of PSTs in bivalves. | MENG Deting SHI Jiaoxia LI Moli WEI Zhongcheng WANG Yangrui XU Yiqiang LI Yubo BAO Zhenmin HU Xiaoli | 2023 | Journal of Ocean University of China2023，22，1： | 0 |
| 2 | Broken electron transfer pathway in enzyme:Gold clusters inhibiting TrxR1/Trx via cell studies and theory simulations显示文摘Thioredoxin reductase 1(TrxR1)is over activity in tumor cell to maintain their redox balance.Although gold clusters have great potential in antitumor drug as they could well inhibit TrxR1,the molecular mechanism has not been disclosed yet.In this work,we revealed gold clusters can well inhibit the activity of TrxR1 in lung tumor cells and further disclosed the inhibition mechanism by using computational simulation methods.We firstly inferred the binding sites of gold in the hydrophobic cavities on TrxR1.The simulation results show that the gold ion(released from Au cluster)interact with–SH of Cys189 in TrxR1,this greatly increase the distance between the C-terminal redox center of TrxR1 and the Trx redox center,thereby destroy the electron transfer pathway between them.Our electron transfer destroying mechanism is different from the previous hypothesis that gold binds to the Sec498 of TrxR1 which has never been proved by experimental and theory studies.This work provides a new understanding of the gold clusters to inhibit TrxR1 activity. | Wenchao Niu Zhongying Du Chunyu Zhang Deting Xu Jiaojiao Li Minghui Sun Liyuan Wu Haodong Yao Lina Zhao Xueyun Gao | 2022 | Chinese Chemical Letters2022，33，7： | 0 |
| 3 | Effect of Si_3N_4 on Resistance of Magnesia Based Castable显示文摘The magnesia based curable specimens with different Si3N4 contents were casted using sintered magnesite (w(MgO)=95%) as starting material, SiO2 micro-powder as binder, 0.3%, 4% and 5% β-Si3N4 powder replacing the equal addition of magnesia powder respectively. The slag resistance test was carried out at 1550℃ for 3h using Baosteel tundish slag and static crucible method. The result indicates that: introducing Si3N4 could obviously improve the slag resistance of MgO based castable, which increased with increasing Si3N4. Dense SiO2 sintered layer formed on the surface of magnesia based castable because of the oxidation of Si3N4 addition, which can prevent the further slag penetration. In the deep inner of castable, the partial-pressure of oxygen was very low, so Si3N4 can exist stably. Meanwhile in reducing atmosphere, Si3N4 was hard to be sintered, which resulted in the loose interior structure of MgO based castable. | ZHANG Jingyu QIN Wei XU Deting SUN Jialin HONG Yanruo | 2007 | China's Refractories2007，16，3： | 0 |
