Prevalence of Balantidium coli infection in sows in Hunan province, subtropical China.
Trop Anim Health Prod
December 2015
Article Synopsis
- Balantidium coli is a commonly found parasitic pathogen worldwide, but limited data exists on its prevalence in pigs in China.
- A study conducted in Hunan province from January 2012 to August 2014 examined 3,925 diarrheic fecal samples and found a 36.9% prevalence of B. coli among pigs.
- This high prevalence indicates a significant health risk for humans and highlights the need for better control measures for B. coli infections in pigs in the region.
Reactive oxygen species, cell growth, and taxol production of Taxus cuspidata cells immobilized on polyurethane foam.
Appl Biochem Biotechnol
December 2005
Dynamic changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) of Taxus cuspidata cells immobilized on polyurethane foam were investigated and the relation between ROS content and taxol production was discussed. Immobilization shortened the lag period of cell growth and moderately increased H2O2 and O2-* contents inside the microenvironment within the first 15 d. After 20 d, excessive production of H2O2 and O2-* was observed accompanied by marked increases in membrane lipid peroxidation and cell membrane permeability.

The Taxol content in the inner foam layer reached 215 microg g(-1) at day 30, which was 40-fold higher than that in the outer foam layer, and the Ca2+ and Mg2+ contents were 5.3 and 3.
