Mathematical modelling of perorally induced immunological tolerance

A mathematical model of the mechanism of development of orally induced immunologic tolerance has been suggested. The model presents a system of differential non-linear equations, and it is realized as a program in FORTRAN. The model describes primary and secondary immune responses, reflects the main features of the immune system response to antigen intake with food. The immune system model response to varying doses and frequency of the antigen intake with food has been studied. It has been established that repeated administration of small doses of the food antigen leads to a deeper tolerance due to lower stimulation of the immune system. The existence of optimal tolerogenic doses of the food antigen has been proved. Qualitative changes in the immune system response to the food antigen have been recorded in case of increased permeability of the intestinal wall.     

A Review on Mycotoxins in Food and Feed: Malaysia Case Study

Fungi are distributed worldwide and can be found in various foods and feedstuffs from almost every part of the world. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by some fungal species and may impose food safety risks to human health. Among all mycotoxins, aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxin A (OTA), trichothecenes, deoxynivalenol (DON and T‐2 toxin), zearalenone (ZEN), and fumonisins (FMN) have received much attention due to high frequency and severe health effects in humans and animals. Malaysia has heavy rainfall throughout the year, high temperatures (28 to 31 °C), and high relative humidity (70% to 80% during wet seasons). Stored crops under such conditions can easily be contaminated by mycotoxin‐producing fungi. The most important mycotoxins in Malaysian foods are AFs, OTA, DON, ZEN, and FMN that can be found in peanuts, cereal grains, cocoa beans, and spices. AFs have been reported to occur in several cereal grains, feeds, nuts, and nut products consumed in Malaysia. Spices, oilseeds, milk, eggs, and herbal medicines have been reported to be contaminated with AFs (lower than the Malaysian acceptable level of 35 ng/g for total AFs). OTA, a possible human carcinogen, was reported in cereal grains, nuts, and spices in Malaysian market. ZEN was detected in Malaysian rice, oat, barley, maize meal, and wheat at different levels. DON contamination, although at low levels, was reported in rice, maize, barley, oat, wheat, and wheat‐based products in Malaysia. FMN was reported in feed and some cereal grains consumed in Malaysia. Since some food commodities are more susceptible than others to fungal growth and mycotoxin contamination, more stringent prevention and control methods are required.     

QuEChERS-气相色谱—三重四极杆质谱法测定辣条中16种多环芳烃

目的：有效提高辣条中多环芳烃污染风险预警和质量安全监管。方法：采用乙腈提取样品中的目标物,经含100 mg N-丙基乙二胺(PSA)、100 mg 十八烷基硅烷键合硅胶(C18)、1 000 mg中性氧化铝吸附剂的QuEChERS净化,选择DB-EUPAH色谱柱分离待测物,以气相色谱—三重四极杆质谱仪检测,采用多反应监测模式,基质匹配外标法定量。结果：16种PAHs在0.005~0.500 μg/mL范围线性良好,相关系数为0.998 4~0.999 9。方法的检出限和定量限分别为0.04~0.55 μg/kg 和0.12~1.85 μg/kg;10,20,100 μg/kg 三水平加标样品,16种PAHs平均加标回收率达71.54%~103.70%,相对标准偏差为2.4%~9.3%。采用该方法对20批次市售辣条样品中16种PAHs污染情况进行了分析,其中14批次样品检出多环芳烃,含量在0.42~42.28 μg/kg。结论：该方法操作简单、灵敏度高,适用于辣条中16种PAHs的日常检测。

二氧化氯和臭氧杀菌处理对菜心贮藏品质的影响

为提高菜心贮藏品质,研究二氧化氯(ClO2)、臭氧(O3)两种杀菌剂对菜心贮藏期间的呼吸强度、丙二醛含量、过氧化物酶活等品质指标变化规律的影响。研究发现,与对照组相比,在贮藏期内ClO2和O3对菜心呼吸的影响是先促进后抑制,二者均使菜心呼吸高峰提前到达,但贮藏中后期(6 d^9 d)杀菌组的呼吸强度低于对照组,ClO2对呼吸的抑制优于O3;ClO2和O3提高了菜心贮藏前期的硬度,贮藏后期ClO2组菜心硬度适中;ClO2降低了菜心a*值,有利于保持菜心的绿色;O3对菜心a*值略有提高,对菜心绿色影响不显著;ClO2和O3促使菜心中丙二醛的累积,但量小难以促衰老;ClO2能稳定维持偏低的过氧化物酶活性,抑制苯丙氨酸解氨酶活性,延缓其木质化和衰老,保持品质。综合分析得出,ClO2更适合杀菌处理菜心,货架期可达12 d,具有潜在的应用前景。     

Photosensitivity of p Si- n (GaSb)1 ? x ? y (Si2) x (GaAs) y , p Si- n (GaSb)1 ? x ? y (Si2) x (GaAs) y ,- n (GaSb) structures

Two-stage buffer n(GaSb)_{1 − x − y} (Si₂) _x (GaAs) _y and perfect n(GaSb) layers are grown on an pSi substrate by liquid-phase epitaxy from a tin solution-melt. It is shown that the photosensitivity of the pSi−n(GaSb)_{1 − x − y} (Si₂) _x (GaAs) _y structures is in the spectral range 1.0-1.6 eV, and that of the pSi − n (GaSb)_{1 − x − y} (Si₂) _x (GaAs) _{y − n} (GaSb) structures is in the range 0.62-1.15 eV.

微孔沸石对卷烟烟气中多环芳烃去除的机理研究

通过多环芳烃（polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon,PAHs）荧蒽（fluoranthene,Flu）和蒽（anthracene,Ant）在微孔沸石Y、ZSM-5和NaA上的吸附和催化裂解实验,探讨了沸石对卷烟烟气中PAHs选择性去除作用机理。实验结果表明：Y型沸石能吸附和催化裂解Flu和Ant;ZSM-5沸石能吸附和催化裂解Ant而不能吸附Flu;NaA沸石受孔径限制,不能吸附和催化裂解Ant和Flu。然而,将这些沸石添加到卷烟中,它们都不同程度地减少了烟气中B[a]P、Ant和Flu的含量。结合沸石吸附PAHs的红外图谱及量子化学计算结果：微孔沸石对卷烟烟气中PAHs的去除不是直接吸附或催化降解,而是吸附了形成PAHs的中间体/前体从而减少了PAHs的生成。
