Studies on arsenical creosote as a wood preservative for marine structures. Part 2. Observation on leaching, corrosion and resistance to borer attack

A detailed study on arsenical creosote with reference to leaching, corrosion and anti-borer properties was carried out. Results showed that aging had very little effect on the preservative which suggested better fixation of the preservative into the wood. Corrosion of mild steel, galvanised iron, aluminium-magnesium alloy (M57S) and copper panels in the preservative was found to be negligible. Normal creosote and low temperature creosote of Regional Research Laboratory, Hyderabad, both fortified with arsenic trioxide resisted borer damage on wooden panels for a period of over five months in the port of Cochin. The performance of low temperature creosote fortified with arsenic was found to be equally satisfactory when compared to normal creosote fortified in the same manner. A loading of 208.6 Kgs/ml³ for Haldu (Adina cordifolia) and 138 Kgs/m³ for Mango (Mangifera indica) in the case of normal creosote and 177 Kgs/m³ for Mango the case of RRL creosote were found to be sufficient for treating the wood.

人类AIDS 的研究替身———非人灵长类动物模型

　非人灵长类动物模型在艾滋病发病机理、传播途径、免疫反应以及疫苗开发药物治疗等方面的研究具有重要作 用。根据不同的免疫缺陷病毒感染不同的灵长类动物,可将这一模型分为不同的种类, 其中HIV/ 黑猩猩模型、SIV/ 猕猴模型和SHIV/ 猕猴模型是目前应用最为广泛的模型。这几种模型都各有其优缺点,本文将简单介绍这几种艾滋 病非人灵长类动物模型的研究概况。

Anti2HIV Lignans from Schisandra micrantha

　目的:从小花五味子中发现具有抗HIV 活性的化学成分。方法:采用多种柱层析分离进行化合物的分离 和纯化,通过波谱分析鉴定化合物的结构,化合物的抗HIV21 活性通过对HIV21 感染C8166 细胞致细胞病变的抑制试验得 到。结果:从小花五味子的茎藤部分分离得到了4 个木脂素,分别鉴定为micrantherin A (1) , gomisin K3 (2) , gomisin G (3) 和 vladinol F (4) 。化合物4 具有显著的抗HIV21 活性,IC50 = 3151μg/ mL ,选择指数为27145。结论:化合物1 为新的木脂素, 化合物4 的抗HIV21 活性值得进一步研究。

Preparation and characterization of three monoclonal antibodies against HIV-1 p24 capsid protein

HIV4 p24 detection provides a means to aid the early diagnosis of HIV-1 infection, track the progression of disease and assess the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy. In the present study, three monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) p3JB9, p5F1 and p6F4 against HI
