With the purpose of improving ginsenoside content in adventitious root cultures of Korean wild ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer), the roots were treated with different dosages of ${\gamma}$-ray (5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 200 Gy). The growth of adventitious roots was inhibited at over 100 Gy. The irradiated adventitious roots showed significant variation in the morphological parameters and crude saponin content at 50 to100 Gy. Therefore, four mutant cell lines out of the propagation of 35 cell lines treated with 50 Gy and 100 Gy were selected on the basis of phenotypic morphology and crude saponin contents relative to the wild type control. The contents of 7 major ginsenosides ($Rg_1$, Re, $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, Rc, Rf, and Rd) were determined for cell lines 1 and 3 from 100 Gy and lines 2 and 4 from 50 Gy treatments. Cell line 2 showed more secondary roots, longer length and superior growth rate than the root controls in flasks and bioreactors. Cell line 1 showed larger average diameter and the growth rate in the bioreactor was comparable with that of the control but greater in the flask cultured roots. Cell lines 1 and 2, especially the former, showed much more ginsenoside contents than the control in flasks and bioreactors. Therefore, we chose cell line 1 for further study of ginsenoside contents. The crude saponin content of line 1 in flask and bioreactor cultures increased by 1.4 and 1.8-fold, respectively, compared to the control. Total contents of 7 ginsenoside types ($Rg_1$, Re, $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, Rc, Rf, and Rd) increased by 1.8 and 2.3-fold, respectively compared to the control. Crude saponin and ginsenoside contents in the bioreactor culture increased by about 1.4-fold compared to that the flask culture.

Energy and exergy analysis of gas turbine combined cycle with exhaust gas recirculation under part-load conditions

Keying Li,Jinling Chi,Shijie Zhang 대한기계학회 2023 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.37 No.5

This paper presents the energy and exergy analysis of the gas turbine combined cycle during part-load operation under the exhaust gas recirculation - inlet/variable guide vane control (EGR-IGVC) strategy. The exergy destruction across each component and the energy and exergy efficiency of the topping, bottoming, and combined cycle are determined. Results show that EGR-IGVC and IGVC both effectively enhance the part-load efficiency of the combined cycle compared to fuel flow control (FFC) because higher turbine exhaust temperature allows more exergy to enter the bottoming cycle and increases bottoming cycle power output. However, EGR-IGVC decreases the bottoming cycle energy and exergy efficiency compared with IGVC. Even so, EGR-IGVC increases the topping cycle energy and exergy efficiency and can obtain a higher bottoming cycle power output. The combined cycle efficiency is enhanced by 0.97-1.21 percentage points over IGVC at 40 %-90 % loads. Exergy analysis has important guiding significance for further improving the part-load performance of the combined cycle.

As an indispensable medicine, antibiotics are widely used in daily life, but following the substantial discharge of various wastewater, which result in antibiotic resistance of microbial pathogens and jeopardizes the health of ecosystems. There is an urgent need to tackle drug residues. After decades of intensive research, photocatalysis technology has been developed into an effi cient technology for wastewater treatment due to its economic and environmental-friendly properties. Here, the photocatalyst NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)/TiO 2 composite was fabricated to degrade the antibiotics: tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), doxycycline hydrochloride (DC), and levofl oxacin hydrochloride (LEV). The NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)/TiO 2 photocatalysts exhibited excellent visible light harvesting performance with a narrow band gap (2.19 eV), low recombination ratio of photoinduced carriers, good photoelectric response, low resistance and long charging life. NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)/TiO 2 (MT0.50 molar ratio Fe:Ti = 1:1) showed the highest degradation eff ect, with the degradation rates of 91.52%, 80.11%, and 88.13% for TC, DC, and LEV in 6 h, with kinetic constants of 0.00510 min −1 , 0.00344 min −1 and 0.00503 min −1 , respectively. The catalysts exhibited signifi cantly increased photocatalytic activity and excellent stability compared to NH 2 -MIL-101 (Fe) and TiO 2 . In addition, MT0.50 still showed good photodegradation eff ect under simulated diff erent pH and ionic strength, indicating that MT0.50 has good adaptability and practical application. The study of photocatalytic mechanism showed that ·OH was the main active substance in the degradation process, which played an important role in degrading antibiotics. In addition, three possible degradation pathways for antibiotics were proposed based on the intermediates detected by LC–MS, and the photocatalysts also showed great stability and excellent antimicrobial eff ects. Therefore, the present study provides a new strategy and enriches the mechanisms involved in the wastewater treatment of NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)/TiO 2 photodegradation of various antibiotics.

Objective: An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary non-phytate phosphorus (nPP) deficiency on intestinal pH value, digestive enzyme activity, morphology, nutrient utilization, and gene expression of NaPi-IIb in meat ducks from 1 to 21 d of age. Methods: A total of 525 one-d-old Cherry Valley ducklings were fed diets (with 7 pens of 15 ducklings, or 105 total ducklings, on each diet) with five levels of nPP (0.22%, 0.34%, 0.40%, 0.46%, or 0.58%) for 21 d in a completely randomized design. Five experimental diets contained a constant calcium (Ca) content of approximately 0.9%. Body weight (BW), body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), and feed to gain ratio (F:G) were measured at 14 and 21 d of age. Ducks were sampled for duodenum and jejunum digestion and absorption function on 14 and 21 d. Nutrient utilization was assessed using 25- to 27-d-old ducks. Results: The results showed ducks fed 0.22% nPP had lower (p<0.05) growth performance and nutrient utilization and higher (p<0.05) serum Ca content and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. When dietary nPP levels were increased, BW (d 14 and 21), BWG and FI (all intervals), and the serum phosphorus (P) content linearly and quadratically increased (p<0.05); and the jejunal pH value (d 14), duodenal muscle layer thickness (d 14), excreta dry matter, crude protein, energy, Ca and total P utilization linearly increased (p<0.05); however, the serum ALP activity, jejunal Na+-K+-ATPase activity, and duodenal NaPi-IIb mRNA level (d 21) linearly decreased (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results indicated that ducks aged from 1 to 21 d fed diets with 0.22% nPP had poor growth performance related to poor intestinal digestion and absorption ability; but when fed diets with 0.40%, 0.46%, and 0.58% nPP, ducks presented a better growth performance, intestinal digestion and absorption function.

The interaction of the genes involved in intestinal development is the molecular basis of the regulatory mechanisms of intestinal development. The objective of this study was to identify the significant pathways and key genes that regulate intestinal development in Landrace piglets, and elucidate their rules of operation. The differential expression of genes related to intestinal development during suckling time was investigated using a porcine genome array. Time sequence profiles were analyzed for the differentially expressed genes to obtain significant expression profiles. Subsequently, the most significant profiles were assayed using Gene Ontology categories, pathway analysis, network analysis, and analysis of gene co-expression to unveil the main biological processes, the significant pathways, and the effective genes, respectively. In addition, quantitative real-time PCR was carried out to verify the reliability of the results of the analysis of the array. The results showed that more than 8000 differential expression transcripts were identified using microarray technology. Among the 30 significant obtained model profiles, profiles 66 and 13 were the most significant. Analysis of profiles 66 and 13 indicated that they were mainly involved in immunity, metabolism, and cell division or proliferation. Among the most effective genes in these two profiles, CN161469, which is similar to methylcrotonoyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase 2 (beta), and U89949.1, which encodes a folate binding protein, had a crucial influence on the co-expression network.

Lv Gang,Zeng Qiufeng,Ding Xuemei,Bai Shiping,Zhang Keying 아세아·태평양축산학회 2022 Animal Bioscience Vol.35 No.2

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of age and diet forms on growth-development patterns, serum metabolism indicators, and parameters of body fat deposition in Cherry Valley ducks. Methods: According to the hatching age and initial weight, a total of 150 1-day-old male SM3 Cherry Valley ducks were randomly assigned to two diet forms (pellet vs powder form). Each treatment had with 5 replicates per treatment and 15 meat ducks per replicate. The study lasted 42 d, which was divided into two periods (1 to 21 vs 22 to 42 d). Results: Our results showed that compared with powder group, ducks in pellet group had greater growth performance during different period (p<0.05). The inflection point was 24 d and was not numerically affected by diet forms. Increasing age (42 vs 21 d) significantly increased the weight of body fat and hepatic fat metabolism related enzyme activities in ducks (p<0.05), meanwhile, increasing age (42 vs 21 d) improved serum metabolism indicators and decreased mRNA expression levels of fat metabolism-related genes in liver (p<0.05). Ducks fed different diets (pellet vs powder form) increased growth performance as well as the weight of body fat and improved serum metabolism indicators (p<0.05). In addition, interactions were found between age and diet forms on the levels of serum metabolism indicators in ducks (p<0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, powder feed reduced growth performance of ducks, and the day of inflection point was 24 days old. Ducks with higher age or fed with pellet diet showed higher fat deposition. The effect of age and feed forms on body fat deposition might result from changes in the contents of serum metabolism indicators, key enzyme activity of lipid production, and hepatic gene expressions.
