When 45Ca-labelled calcium chloride solution was applied to the skin of young developing Merton apple fruits, activity in the cortex at maturity was highest in the calyx end region where bitter pit lesions most commonly develop. Fruit age at time of application affected the amount of labelled calcium absorbed but not its longitudinal distribution. Following branch injection of labelled calcium chloride solution 8 weeks before harvest, activity in mature fruits was found mostly in the stem end. Leaves and buds accounted for 95% of the recovered activity, and the fruits for 5%, of which about one-quarter was in the calyx half. The same distribution pattern was found following injection of labelled calcium chloride solution into the fruit stem. The concentration of naturally occurring calcium in the cortex of the mature fruit declined steadily from stem end to calyx end. On the other hand, the magnesium concentration was lowest near the stem end and highest at the calyx end. The potassium concentration remained fairly constant along most of the length of the fruit, with a small increase at each end. The findings are discussed with regard to the longitudinal gradient in bitter pit susceptibility within apple fruits, and to the relative effectiveness of tree sprays of calcium, as compared with soil applications, in the control of the disorder. Results suggest that calcium does not have a trace element role in the control of bitter pit.

The author warmly recommends treatment of sepsis with intravenous infusions of 1% calcium chloride solution (the method first proposed by Prof. Aleksinski). Although this method does not seem sufficiently theoretically justified, nevertheless P., on the basis of his observations, advises to resort to intravenous infusions of 1% solution of crystalline calcium chloride at 250-400 cfu for acute and subacute forms of sepsis where the well-known surgical methods of dissection and removal of infected nidi have been carried to completion and have not put the patient on the path to recovery.

New Protein

One key step for silk protein further uses is to let them be dissolved in aqueous solution. However, the silk protein is usually not soluble in aqueous solution. Silk protein dissolved in calcium chloride solution is one of the few effective ways. Silk fibroin was well dissolved in 15-20min. in boiling calcium chloride solution [50% (w/v)] with the ratio of 15g dry waste silk per100mL calcium chloride solution. After dialysis, silk protein calcium salt unexpectedly showed excellent emulsification capacity and stability. Only 0.8-1.2% of silk protein calcium salt solution (50mL) could let 50mL soybean salad oil be mixed and emulsified well. Silk protein calcium salt may be used as a new protein-based surfactant.

The author recommends for this purpose intravenous injections of afenil (10% calcium chloride solution by Knoll) in a dose of 10 cc. Performing these injections once a day, it is possible, in acute and subacute gonorrhoids salpingo-oophoritis, in 8 - 12 days to obtain such results, such with conventional anti-inflammatory treatment are obtained only in 3-4 weeks, and doing injections on 2 times a day, it is possible already in 2-3 days to stop "acute adnexitis.

An inverse relationship occurred between fruit weight and increase in calcium (Ca) content in Spartan apples (Malus pumila Mill.) resulting from postharvest CaCl2 dips. The influence of fruit weight on Ca increase was greatest in tissue near the core. The addition of a thickener to the dip solution resulted in significantly higher flesh Ca levels. Ca absorption was significantly enhanced by treating with dip solutions which were colder than the fruit. Spartan apples absorbed less Ca from a postharvest CaCl2 dip than did McIntosh which absorbed less than Golden Delicious or Delicious. The use of a surfactant in the CaCl2 dipping solution did not affect Ca penetration into McIntosh or Delicious apples but decreased penetration of Ca into Spartan and Golden Delicious.

Bletilla Striata

The skin is the largest organ in the body composed of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue through the latter it is integrated with deeper tissues. The major function of the skin is to shield out attacks, acting as a barrier. The skin can trigger a series of self-healing procedure when it is damaged. The healing process can be divided into three phases: inflammatory, tissue hyperplasia, and tissue reconstruction. Particularly during tissue hyperplasia, fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition play important roles in the healing. The healing could be accelerated if wound dressing can be properly applied. An ideal wound dressing is capable of absorbing tissue fluid, keeping the wound moistured, stopping bleeding, attaching to the wound surface properly without sticking to the wound tissues, protecting the wound from infection, and accelerating the wound recovery. In this study, the composite membranes was made by adding mixed solutions of low-methoxyl pectin and Bletilla striata, which is a traditional Chinese medicine, into calcium chloride solution. The low-methoxyl pectin is cross-linked with calcium ions, forming a hydrogel. Membranes of varying ratio of the low-methoxyl pectin and Bletilla striata were prepared seeking for the optimal manufacturing parameters to use to investigate its effects on the water stability, water retention, contact angle and degree of swelling of the composite membranes. The results showed that when the ratio of low-methoxyl pectin solutioin (2 wt%) and Bletilla striata extract is 80/20 was added into 40 ml of 0.3 wt% calcium chloride solution, the composite membrane had the optimal performance in terms of the water stability, water retention, and swelling.
