Aim: To study the effect of selective interleukin-1 β-converting enzyme (ICE,caspase-1) inhibitor on ischemic acute renal failure (ARF). Methods: Mouse models of ischemic ARF were treated with the specific ICE inhibitor AC-YVAD-CMK.A renal function assay and renal morphological studies were employed to estimate the renal protective effect of AC-YVAD-CMK. The survival rate of mouse models was also analyzed by a time series test. Furthermore, renal ICE activity,mature interleukin-18 (IL-18) protein expression and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) mRNA expression were also detected by fluorescent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), ELISA, and semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Results: The levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr) increased remarkably in the model controls compared with the sham-operated groups (P<0.01). Typical renal tubular necrosis was found in the model controls. Renal ICE activity, mature IL-18 protein expression, and IFN-γmRNA expression were also increased significantly in the model controls compared with the sham-operated groups. The levels of BUN and Scr in the AC-YVAD-CMK therapy group were decreased significantly compared with the untreated model controls (P<0.01). Renal tubulointerstitial lesion was also attenuated significantly (P<0.05). AC-YVAD-CMK therapy alleviated the clinical features of ARF, and increased the survival rate (P<0.01). Furthermore, AC-YVADCMK therapy also decreased ICE activity, mature IL-18 protein expression, and IFN-γ mRNA expression in renal tissue (P<0.05). Conclusion: The selective ICEinhibitor AC-YVAD-CMK can effectively protect the kidney from acute ischemic lesions. This protective effect is associated with decreased renal ICE activity and suppressed IL- 18 maturation and IFN-γ mRNA transcription.

长江上游地区是我国籼型杂交水稻的主要种植地区之一,处于这一地区的四川省东部、南部和重庆地区在水稻生育后期频发高温、伏旱等自然灾害。这种特殊的自然环境特征对水稻生产有不利的影响,也对超高产品种的选育工作提出更高的要求。本试验根据长江上游高温伏旱区超高产育种已经取得的成果,针对生产实践中遇到的实际问题,选取在该地区以往产量表现良好的9个高产水稻品种(组合):一丰8号、L2A/527、冈优725、117

淀粉主要被人类用作食物,同时广泛应用于食品加工业、饮料业、纺织和造纸等行业。淀粉是由许多葡萄糖残基组成的多聚糖,因其链的长短和分支程度的不同而分为直链淀粉和支链淀粉。不同的淀粉其直/支比不一样,具有独特的理化特性,最终对其加工的产品产生不同的影响。淀粉特性是影响面条品质的重要因素。以国内外冬播小麦品种(系)227份以及从晋麦66×糯麦1号中选育出经碘染籽粒剖面初步鉴定为糯性小麦的品系30份为材料,
