Milk samples were collected in the dry season ( n = 155) and in the rainy season ( n = 68) to establish a correlation between electronic flow cytometry and standard plate count for the determination of total bacterial count of raw milk. Results were expressed in individual bacterial count (ibc) and colony forming unit (cfu) for electronic flow cytometry (Bactocount) and standard plate count, respectively. The accuracy of Bactocount, denoted by the residual standard deviation ( s ( y,x )), was 0.309 log cfu/mL. The predictive interval of estimated values was broad and it is suggested that total bacterial count should be expressed in ibc without transformation to cfu. 相似文献

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic cutaneous inflammatory disease caused by an interaction between genetic, immune and epidermal barrier factors. Several treatments can be used to treat this disease but there are patients that do not respond to actual drugs. So, there is a need to develop effective therapies for AD. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-hematopoietic multipotent adult progenitor cells with immunomodulatory power and self-regenerating capacity to repair tissue damage, so they could be a potential effective treatment for AD. MSCs-Conditioned Medium (CM) and MSCs-exosomes are cell-free preparation with molecules secreted by stem cells that could be also beneficial for AD. This viewpoint reviews the actual development of MSCs, MSCs-CM and MSCs-exosomes for treating patients with AD. 相似文献

Previous morphometric methods for estimation of the volume of components, surface area and thickness of the diffusion barrier in fish gills have taken advantage of the highly ordered structure of these organs for sampling and surface area estimations, whereas the thickness of the diffusion barrier has been measured orthogonally on perpendicularly sectioned material at subjectively selected sites. Although intuitively logical, these procedures do not have a demonstrated mathematical basis, do not involve random sampling and measurement techniques, and are not applicable to the gills of all fish. The present stereological methods apply the principles of surface area estimation in vertical uniform random sections to the gills of the Brazilian teleost Arapaima gigas. The tissue was taken from the entire gill apparatus of the right‐hand or left‐hand side (selected at random) of the fish by systematic random sampling and embedded in glycol methacrylate for light microscopy. Arches from the other side were embedded in Epoxy resin. Reference volume was estimated by the Cavalieri method in the same vertical sections that were used for surface density and volume density measurements. The harmonic mean barrier thickness of the water‐blood diffusion barrier was calculated from measurements taken along randomly selected orientation lines that were sine‐weighted relative to the vertical axis. The values thus obtained for the anatomical diffusion factor (surface area divided by barrier thickness) compare favourably with those obtained for other sluggish fish using existing methods. 相似文献

ABSTRACT
This work aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of Lentinus edodes and Agaricus blazei mushrooms, as well as to measure the content of total phenolic compounds of mushroom extracts and verify the oxidative stability of soybean oil added with mushroom extracts that showed higher antioxidant activity according to the methods of the 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) free radical scavenging and the β‐carotene/linoleic acid system. According to the DPPH• method, the maximum antioxidant activity for L. edodes and A. blazei methanol extracts was 92.84 and 95.10%, respectively. For the β‐carotene/linoleic acid system, the highest values of antioxidant activity were 93.06% for L. edodes and 78.96% for A. blazei. The content of total phenolic compounds ranged from 7.21 to 128.44 and 26.67 to 134.67 mg gallic acid equivalent/g for L. edodes and A. blazei, respectively. The oxidative stability values provided by the Rancimat method indicated that the two varieties presented similar induction period of 19.85 h.PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Mushrooms present high content of antioxidant compounds that are capable of reducing the harmful effects of free radicals. Among the antioxidants present in mushrooms, phenolic compounds stand out as phenolic acids, flavonoids and tocopherols. To decrease or prevent lipid oxidation, synthetic antioxidants are used as food additives. Nevertheless, studies have revealed that these compounds are likely to pose risks to human health. The concern regarding the safety of synthetic antioxidants has motivated the search of natural antioxidants that can substitute them totally or partially.5.

The rupture stress (RS) of fried potato slices (1.60 mm thick) and of the crust of fried potato slabs (FPS) having lengths of 60 mm and sides of 8, 10 and 12 mm, was determined during the post‐frying period by a puncture test. The RS of fried potato slices decreased as water activity increased from 0.22 to 0.85. The RS of FPS diminished in the first 5–6 min when exposed to ambient conditions and remained almost constant thereafter. A novel videotape technique and image analysis were used to follow deflection of FPS in the post‐frying period. An apparent modulus based on the composite structure of FPS and calculated from beam mechanics decreased with time in a trend similar to that of the textural parameters. We concluded that changes in physical properties of the crust because of moisture accumulation are the major causes of loss of texture (limpness) in FPS during the post‐frying period. 相似文献

Cell lines with high passage numbers exhibit alterations in cell morphology and functions. In the
present work, C2C12 skeletal muscle cells with either low (<20) or high (>60) passage numbers (identified as lC2C12 or h-C2C12, respectively) were used to investigate the apoptotic response to H2
O2
as a function of
culture age h-C2C12. We found that older cultures (h-C2C12 group) were depleted of mitochondrial DNA
(mtDNA). When we analyzed the behavior of Bad, Bax, caspase-3 and mitochondrial transmembrane potential,
we observed that cells in the h-C2C12 group were resistant to H2
O2 induction of apoptosis. We propose serially
cultured C2C12 cells as a refractory model to H2
O2
-induced apoptosis. In addition, the data obtained in this
work suggest that mtDNA is required for apoptotic cell death in skeletal muscle C2C12 cells. 相似文献

The rheological behavior of an aqueous solution composed of 65% sucrose and 0.1% CMC was experimentally determined from -10C to 50C using a rotational viscometer equipped with coaxial cylinders. The model solution behaved as pseudoplastic fluid, represented by the power-law model. Flow behavior and consistency indices determined at -10.1, 0.5, 9.8, 19.0, 30.1 and 50. OC, showed values between 0.79 to 0.86 and 0.15 to 10.22 Pa. sn , respectively. The effect of temperature on the rheological parameters was represented by Arrhenius-type relationships, with R2 ≥ 0.97. They were compared to the rheological behavior of a concentrated orange juice with 65° Brix and 7% pulp content. The comparison of separate rheograms for both fluids showed that the model solution can be used to represent concentrated orange juice. 相似文献

Philodryas olfersii is found in South America, from Amazonas to Patagonia. It is important to characterize the venom of P. olfersii, who inhabits the North-East region of Argentina, since snake venoms are known to exhibit considerable variability in composition and biological activities. In this work, mice weighing 18-20 g (n = 4 for each experimental group) were used. For the edematogenic activity mice were injected s.c. in the right foot pad with 50 µl of solutions containing different amounts of venom, whereas the left foot pad was injected with 50 µl of PBS. Two hours after injection mice were killed by cervical dislocation and both feet were cut off and weighed individually. For the myotoxic activity mice were injected i.m. with 100 µl of solutions containing 40 µg of venom. Blood samples were extracted after 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 24 h of venom injection to determinate serum CPK activity and mice were sacrificed at the same time intervals to obtain the inoculated gastrocnemius muscle. They were fixed with Bouin solution and stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin. Results showed that P. olfersii venom exhibits a high edematogenic activity (MED = 0.31 µg) and a moderate myotoxic activity. Myonecrosis reached its highest level after 12 h of venom injection as shown by plasmatic CPK levels (5,401 ± 330 IU/l) and microscopic assay. It demonstrates the potential toxicity of the venom of P. olfersii, who inhabits the North-East region of Argentina. It also reinforces the original warning concerning the potential danger of bites by colubrids. 相似文献

The objectives of the present work were to evaluate the potential use of the vane method and penetration tests as a tool to measure the variability in firmness of stirred yogurt in routine quality control, and to evaluate the effect of distribution on yogurt firmness. Twelve batches of plain stirred yogurt of a commercial brand were studied, acquired both from a manufacturing plant and three retail stores. Both vane method and penetration tests allowed the detection of changes in the firmness of yogurts, confirming that they could be useful in routine quality control to characterize the firmness of yogurt. The yield stress of samples from the manufacturing plant varied within a range of 250 Pa. This important variation was partially explained by variations in the final acidity during fermentation, showing the importance of a standardized production in order to obtain a uniform texture. The yield stress of yogurts from the manufacturing plant was significantly higher than that of samples from the different retail stores. Averaged values being considered, the yogurts lost 53 Pa of their original yield stress during distribution and handling inside retail stores, probably due to mechanical damage. This mechanical damage also caused the occurrence of syneresis. 相似文献

Porcine Aminopeptidase Activity as Affected by Curing Agents 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The effect of common curing agents (salt, nitrate, nitrite, ascorbic acid and glucose) on porcine muscle leucyl, arginyl, alanyl, pyroglu-tamyl and tyrosyl hydrolyzing activities was studied. Salt, ascorbate and nitrite had inhibitory effects on most enzyme activities. All activities decreased as salt increased (to 1.25 M) and/or water activity decreased (from 1.00 to 0.81). Nitrite inhibited only alanyl, pyroglu-tamyl and tyrosyl hydrolyzing activities. An in-vitro study using model conditions of three stages of dry-curing of ham, revealed that leucyl hydrolyzing activity may be important through the complete process. Other enzymes may also be involved in later stages of curing but are less important. 相似文献
