  • Four nonpathogenic isolates of Fusarium oxysporum isolated from spinach showed suppressive effect on the occurrence of the Fusarium wilt of spinach caused by F. oxysporum f. sp. sprinaciae, among which NF01 controlled the disease most effectively. And NF01 was not pathogenic to tomato, cucumber, radish and spinach. This isolate was further tested for the biological control of the disease. The isolate was not inhibitory to the growth of the pathogen on potato sucrose agar medium, however the Fusarium wilt disease occurred less by drenching spore suspension of the nonpathogenic isolate. The control effect of the isolate was higher at lower inoculum level of the pathogen than at the higher inoculum level, and in the pretreatments than the simultaneous treatment of the isolate with the pathogen inoculation. The nit mutants of the isolate were easily formed on chlorate containing media, and was reisolated selectively as nit mutant from infected soil and plants. The reisolation rate of the isolate as opposed to pathogen was high at preinoculated soil and plants relative to the simultaneous inoculation of the isolate with the pathogen.

  • Cinnamaldehyde is the main component of cinnamon bark oil and show several biological activities such as anti-tumor, anti-fungal, anti-mutagenic and anti-inflammatory effects. A couple of studies have investigated how the natural compound exerts its anti-inflammatory effect. In despite of numerous investigations, the biological mechanism of effects belong to cinnamaldehyde remain unclear. We isolated 2-hydroxycinnamaldehyde(HCA) from the bark of Cinnamomun cassia Blume and reported a various of biological activities of HCA. (omitted)

  • Oxidative stress has been implicated in a range of disease states, including end-stage renal failure treated with hemodialysis [Westhuyzen J. et al, 2003]. Free radicals react with biological molecules and destroy the structure of cells, which eventually causes free-radical induced disease such as cancer, renal failure, aging, etc. Exogenous or endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) inhibits superoxide-stimulated urea permeability. In the inner medulla, superoxide generation by local oxidases may stimulate urea transport, and the role of endogenous No may be to dampen this effect by decreasing superoxide levels [Zimpelmann J. et al, 2003 (Epub ahead of print)].

  • Biological and ecological characteristics of Diporeia spp. are described including size, growth, life cycle, energy storage, temperature effect, bioturbation, feeding depth and sediment ingestion of Diporeia. Bioaccumulation and toxicity of organic contaminants and trace metals were reviewed in addition to an examination of the relationships among various condition indexes (i.e. wet weight, dry weight and body length) of Diporeia.
