Effect of <i>Lycopus lucidus</i> Turcz. supplementation on gut microflora and short chain fatty acid composition in Crj: CD-1 mice

We investigated the diversity and composition of microflora in feces of Lycopus lucidus Turcz.-fed mice. Inaddition, we evaluated the production of major cytokines (Interleukin-6 and -10) which are related to inflammationand fatty acid composition of several tissues. 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing-based microbiome taxonomic profilinganalysis was performed utilizing the EzBioCloud data base. Male mice fed on L. lucidus showed a significantlyreduced number of lactic acid bacteria and coliform in the feces compared with the control group (p < 0.05). 16SrDNA sequencing analysis of fecal samples showed that L. lucidus supplementation decreased the community ofharmful microflora (Enterobacteriaceae including Escherichia coli and Bacteroides sp.) in feces compared with thecontrol group (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in mRNA expression of cytokine IL-6 and IL-10between the control and L. lucidus fed groups. The fecal fatty acid composition in the L. lucidus group hadpercentages of 4:0, 6:0, 8:0 and 10:0 in the intestine but those short chain fatty acids were not detected in the controlgroup. Our results showed that L. lucidus supplementation influenced gut environment by decreasing harmfulmicroflora and increased the percentages of several short fatty acids.

COMPARISON OF TRANSESTERIFIED PALM STEARIN/SUNFLOWER OIL BLENDS CATALYZED BY PSEUDOMONAS AND MUCOR JAVANICUS LIPASE

Palm stearin and sunflower oil mixtures in three different ratio of 3:7, 5:5 and 7:3 (w/w) were subjected to transesterification catalyzed by immobilized lipases from Pseudomonas and Mucor javanicus in a solvent-free system. The ability of these lipases to alter the physical properties of the fat blends was studied. Slip melting point (SMP), differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction analyses were used to evaluate the physical properties of the transesterified blends. The percentage of free fatty acids liberated was also determined. Results indicated that the Pseudomonas lipase was catalytically more active than Mucor javanicus lipase as shown by marked changes in the triacylglycerol profile and fatty acids released. Pseudomonas lipase-catalyzed mixtures also showed a bigger drop in SMP and successfully changed the polymorphic form from the dominant β crystal form in control blends to β'crystal form in the transesterified mixtures.

Fabrication of β- and β′′-Al2O3 tubes by pressureless powder packing forming and salt infiltration

A new forming method, pressureless powder packing (PLPP), was studied to fabricate the - and -Al2O3 tubes. Alkali sources were infiltrated into the pores of -Al2O3 tube preforms that had been prepared by the PLPP forming method. The composition for the synthesis of -Al2O3 phase was Na2O · 0. 138Li2 · 4.4Al2O3. The -Al2O3 fraction of calcined and sintered bodies was increased with the increase of calcination temperature, and phase formation was largely affected by the type of starting -Al2O3. Large particle size and narrow size distribution of fused -Al2O3 resulted in uniform green microstructure that enhanced the homogeneity of alkali salts after infiltration, which was very important for the -Al2O3 formation. Sintered microstructure was uniform in all specimens but further development was required for density improvement.

A manual data input system for drilling

The paper describes the structure of an interactive manual data input programming system which was developed for drilling and which uses a ‘shop floor oriented’ language. This programming system incorporates ‘cutting technology’, to provide an unskilled machine operator with computer assistance in achieving optimum drilling conditions for a wide range of engineering materials, and has been designed to be used in conjunction with a microprocessor-based NC drilling system, the structure of which is also briefly described.
