Ellagic Acid Improves Antioxidant Capacity and Intestinal Barrier Function of Heat-Stressed Broilers via Regulating Gut Microbiota.

Heat stress (HS) has been revealed to damage the antioxidant system and intestinal barrier function, which greatly threatens poultry production. The present study investigated the effects of dietary ellagic acid (EA) on the antioxidant system, gut barrier function, and gut microbiota of heat-stressed broilers. Arbor Acres 14-day-old broilers numbering 360 were randomly divided into six groups, including one negative control group (NC) and five experimental groups.

[Identification of Env-specific monoclonal antibodies from Chinese HIV-1 infected person by magnetic beads separating B cells and single cell RT-PCR cloning].

Objective: To establish a simple and practical method for screening of Env-specific monoclonal antibodies from HIV-1 infected individuals.

Methods: Human B cells were purified by negative sorting from PBMCs and memory B cells were further enriched using anti-CD27 microbeads. Gp120 antigen labbled with biotin was incubated with memory B cells to specifically bind IgG on cells membrane.

[Research on early fire detection with CO-CO2 FTIR-spectroscopy].

A new fire detection method is put forward based on the theory of FTIR spectroscopy through analyzing all kinds of detection methods, in which CO and CO2 are chosen as early fire detection objects, and an early fire experiment system has been set up. The concentration characters of CO and CO2 were obtained through early fire experiments including real alarm sources and nuisance alarm sources. In real alarm sources there are abundant CO and CO2 which change regularly.

[FT-raman spectra study of Platymonas subcordiformis].

FT-Raman spectroscopy was adopted to investigate the Raman spectrum of Platymonas subcordiformis. The result shows that the optimal experiment condition is making sample lose solvent with centrifuge, exciting laser power set at 360 mW and accumulating 70 times. The main peaks of the spectra are 381-432, 552-556, 611-613, 710, 873, 953-964, 1 108-1119, 1457, 1523-1527 and 2986 cm(-1).
