Khoo HE  Ismail A  Mohd-Esa N  Idris S 《Plant foods for human nutrition (Dordrecht, Netherlands)》2008,63(4):170-175

This study was conducted to evaluate the total carotene content (TCC) and beta carotene (BC) in the selected underutilized tropical fruits. TCC of underutilized fruits estimated by spectrophotometric method was in the range of 1.4-19.8 mg/100 g edible portion. The TCC of these fruits decreased in the order: Jentik-jentik > Durian Nyekak 2 > Durian Nyekak 1 > Cerapu 2 > Cerapu 1 > Tampoi Kuning > Bacang 1 > Kuini > Jambu Mawar > Bacang 2 > Durian Daun > Bacang 3 > Tampoi Putih > Jambu Susu. BC contents estimated by HPLC method were highest in Jentik-jentik, followed by Cerapu 2, Durian Nyekak 2, Tampoi Kuning, Durian Nyekak 1, and Cerapu 1, which had a range of 68-92% of BC in TCC. These underutilized fruits have an acceptable amount of carotenoids that are potential antioxidant fruits.  相似文献

Plant Therapy: a Nonpharmacological and Noninvasive Treatment Approach Medically Beneficial to the Wellbeing of Hospital Patients     

Muhammad Ali Khan  Noorul Amin  Arsalan Khan  Muhamamd Imtiaz  Farmanullah Khan  Imran Ahmad  Asad Ali  Badshah Islam 《Gesunde Pflanzen》2016,68(4):191-200

A green atmosphere and interaction with nature (plants and flowers) can considerably improve the human senses and sanity by decreasing the stress associated with anxiety, depression, neurotic impairment, and other psychologic symptoms. The current paper reports a therapeutic horticultural study’s findings regarding the effect of indoor foliage plants and flower arrangements on health prospects of surgical patients. Two surgical wards, ward A (with foliage plants and arranged flowers) and ward B (without foliage plants and flowers), were selected for the study. A total of 270 patients were randomly assigned to either ward to give 135 patients in each. Patients admitted to ward A had significantly more optimistic and promising health improvements than those in ward B. Provision of foliage plants and flower arrangements to the patients in ward A resulted in shorter postoperative stays, lower intake of analgesics, lower pain intensity, less stress fatigue, and improved vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, body temperature) as compared to patients in ward B. Moreover, analyses showed that patients in ward A had a stronger psychologic frame of mind regarding their recovery from surgery and had more positive emotions and feelings regarding their stay in the hospital. They also felt that the ward atmosphere was more calming, pleasant, and satisfactory. Additionally, small group discussions and focal interviews with ward doctors and nurses confirmed the findings of the questionnaire that foliage plants & flower arrangements create a cherished environment in the ward, reduce patients’ stress, improve medical and psychologic status of patients, and also conveye positive messages of the hospital. These findings confirm the therapeutic value of horticultural activities, particularly in surgical patients in a stressed hospital setting.  相似文献

张学超  刘小芳  邱阿敏  侯钦帅  冷凯良  高华 《渔业科学进展》2018,39(6):180-184

本研究比较了电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS)、氢化物发生原子荧光光谱法(HG-AFS)以及银盐法测定南极磷虾(Euphausia superba)及其不同形式制品总砷含量的适用性,并采用确定的检测方法对南极磷虾冻虾、南极磷虾粉和市售不同品牌南极磷虾油中的总砷含量进行了系统测定。结果显示,采用ICP-MS法、HG-AFS法及银盐法检测南极磷虾及其制品中的总砷含量,3种方法的加标回收率分别达到100.26%~110.48%、82.68%~98.50%和89.64%~94.89%,RSD均小于5%。 3种国标方法对于南极磷虾及其相关制品的测定结果基本一致,但与银盐法相比,ICP-MS法、HG-AFS法操作复杂,仪器昂贵。因此,银盐法可作为快速测定南极磷虾及其制品中总砷含量的首选方法。采用银盐法测得南极磷虾冻虾、虾粉和虾油中总砷含量分别为0.44~0.45 mg/kg、1.04~1.91 mg/kg、0.52~5.50 mg/kg。加快建立南极磷虾及其制品中无机砷定量及砷形态分析技术对于科学认识南极磷虾砷的安全性至关重要。  相似文献   

Enzyme immunoassay for atrazine analysis in water and soil     

Md. Ruhul Amin  M. A. Malek  Mostafizur Rahman  Enamul Hoque 《Pest management science》1998,52(2):152-158

Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) has been tested for the detection of atrazine in soil and water. EIA kits and atrazine-fortified samples were received from the International Atomic Energy Agency. Atrazine concentrations of about 0·01 μg litre^-1 could be detected and the central detection point was found at about 0·15 μg litre^-1 which is a reasonably sensitive region for atrazine. A validation study with spiked local water samples yielded acceptable results. No treatment was required for water samples. Extraction of atrazine from soil was done by simple shaking with methanol without any clean-up steps. Detection limits of 1×10^-2 μg litre^-1 for water and 5×10^-3 μg kg^-1 for soil were achieved. © 1998 SCI.  相似文献   

Physiological response of henna (Lawsonia inermise L.) to salicylic acid and salinity     

Hassan Farahbakhsh  Amin Pasandi Pour  Narges Reiahi 《Plant Production Science》2017,20(2):237-247

Henna (Lawsonia inermis L.) is naturally cultivated from north-east Africa to India as a medicinal-industrial plant. The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible role of salicylic acid (SA) for mitigating the salinity stress. For this purpose, we evaluated the effect of three concentrations of SA (0, 40 and 80 μM) and salinity (0, ?3 and ?6 bar) on photosynthetic pigments, protein content, catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) activity, electrolyte leakage and leaf relative water content (RWC). The experiment was carried out with a factorial arrangement based on complete randomized design in triplicates at University of Kerman, Iran. The results revealed that salinity caused a significant decrease in photosynthetic pigments, protein content, RWC and quantum yield of henna. By increase in salinity levels from 0 to ?6 bar, the mean values of mentioned traits were reduced. CAT activity, electrolyte leakage, F₀ and F_m were elevated significantly with increasing the salinity concentration. Application of SA under salinity stress increased the photosynthetic pigments, protein content, CAT activity, leaf RWCs and quantum yield, while it decreased electrolyte leakage, F₀ and F_m. It can be concluded that SA alleviated the stress generated by NaCl possibly through the ameliorated antioxidant defense system.  相似文献   

Validating MARK2 Gene Polymorphism as a Predictor of Response to Lithium Treatment in Bipolar Patients     

Sara Sadat Aghabozorg Afjeh  Jamal Shams  Safar Hamednia  Behzad Boshehri  Asmaolhosna Amini  Amin Omrani  Mir Davood Omrani 《Iranian Biomedical Journal》2022,26(2):110

Background:Lithium is a therapeutic option for the treatment of the acute phase of the bipolar disorder and long-term management of this disorder. However, it is estimated that 10 to 60% of patients do not properly response to this medication.Methods:To investigate the role of MARK2 gene in response to lithium, we genotyped the MARK2 rs10792421 polymorphism in Iranian bipolar patients using ARMS-PCR.Results:Results of this study showed a significant association of this polymorphism with response to lithium. The A allele was more frequent in the responder than the non-responder group and also in the semi- responder group compared to the non-responder group in the codominant model of analysis. AA and AG genotypes were more frequent in both the responder and semi-responder groups compared to the non-responder group in dominant model of analysis.Conclusion:Based on the findings of the current study, the rs10792421 variant of MARK2 gene could be considered as a potential biomarker for predicting the treatment outcome of bipolar disorder type 1 in Iranian population.

Effect of synbiotic supplementation and dietary fat sources on broiler performance,serum lipids,muscle fatty acid profile and meat quality     

H.A. Ghasemi  M. Shivazad  S.S. Mirzapour Rezaei  M.A. Karimi Torshizi 《British poultry science》2016,57(1):71-83

1. A 42-d trial was conducted to investigate the effect of adding a synbiotic supplement to diets containing two different types of fat on performance, blood lipids and fatty acid (FA) composition and oxidative stability of breast and thigh meat in broilers.

2. A total of 800 one-d-old male broiler chickens were randomly assigned into 1 of 8 treatments with 4 replicates of 25 birds per treatment. The experiment consisted of a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments including 4 concentrations of synbiotic (0, 0.5, 1 or 1.5 g/kg diet) and 2 types of fat [sunflower oil (SO) or canola oil (CO)] at an inclusion rate of 50 g/kg diet.

3. Dietary fat type did not affect body weight gain (BWG) or feed conversion ratio (FCR) during the overall experimental period (0–42 d). However, fat type modified serum lipid profile and FA composition and 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) content in breast and thigh meat.

4. The addition of synbiotic to the diet linearly improved overall BWG and FCR and also decreased serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. The TBARS value in thigh meat after 30 d of storage at 4°C was linearly decreased as the synbiotic inclusion concentrations in the diets increased. Dietary synbiotic also decreased the proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids and increased n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentration in thigh meat, whereas the FA profile of breast meat was not affected by synbiotic supplementation. Moreover, the PUFA/SFA ratio in the breast meat was linearly increased when synbiotic was included in the CO-containing diets.

5. In conclusion, the addition of synbiotic to broiler diets had a positive effect on growth performance, blood lipid profile and meat quality. The results also support the use of synbiotic to increase the capacity of canola oil for enhancing PUFA/SFA ratio of breast meat in broilers.

Chronic effects of NeemAzal on biochemical parameters of grass carp,Ctenopharyngodon idella          下载免费PDF全文

Razieh Gholami  Reza Davoodi  Amin Oujifard  Hamidreza Nooryazdan 《Aquaculture Research》2016,47(12):3867-3872

The aim of this study was to assess the chronic effects of a bio‐pesticide (NeemAzal) on some biochemical parameters of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) under laboratory conditions. At first, 96 h LC₅₀ of the pesticide was determined using probit analysis software and was found to be 0.73 mg L^?1 of the active ingredient (azadirachtin) of the pesticide. Fresh fish were then divided into three treatments and a control and were exposed to sublethal concentrations (10%, 20% and 30% of the 96 h LC₅₀ value) of the pesticide for a month. The biochemical examination of the blood showed a remarkable decrease in values of protein, albumin, AST, ALT, ALP and LDH (P < 0.05).  相似文献
