Background: Acupuncture therapy has been widely applied all around the world. But there still lacks high-quality evidence to evaluate its clinical effects, safety and cost-effectiveness, which seriously restricts its further promotion and development. Acupuncture, as an operational intervention, is more complex than drug therapy. Factors involved in the acupuncture operation process, such as individual and interventional factors, may affect clinical effects. Purpose:s Through this systematic review, we attempt to analyze the current status of studies about the key factors influencing clinical effects, so as to provide evidence for the design of acupuncture studies. Methods: A literature research was conducted in six databases until May, 2020. Studies were screened and assessed by two authors independently. Data extraction was made after screening. We extracted the basic information of these studies, including publishing years and countries, population and factors influencing clinical effects.Results: Through the initial search in these six database, 6404 records were retrieved. After duplication and screening, a total of 355 studies were finally included in the qualitative analysis. About 88.5% of these studies were conducted in China with increasing number in the past decades, covering neurological disorders, orthopedic disorders, obstetrical and gynecological diseases, digestive diseases and so on; 239 studies focused on stimulus parameters which may influence effects, accounting for 67.3%, and 128, 44, 39, 32, 15, 11 studies discussed acupoints, patients’ pathological states, individual difference, psychological states, deqi, and other factors separately. Conclusion: There are more and more studies focusing on factors influencing acupuncture clinical effects, including stimulus parameters, acupoints, individual difference, patient pathological and psychological states. Based on this systematic review, several ignored factors should be considered for future researches, and more scientifically and objectively high quality evidence should also be proved.

Transcriptomic information provides fundamental insights into biological processes and can be used to determine gene expression in cell, tissue, or organism under specific physiological conditions, or in response to any environmental perturbation. Extraction of high quality RNA is a challenging step mainly in non-traditional organisms, and protocols for preservation and isolation need to be adjusted in many cases. In the present work, we aimed to develop a protocol for preservation and isolation of high-quality and quantity of RNA from blood and liver tissues of Caiman latirostris. Three preservation methods were tested: 1) flash freezing (LN2) and storage at –80°C; 2) RNAlater® conservation with progressive cooling up to –80°C); 3) preservation in TRIzol® reagent, flash freezing in LN2 and storage at –80°C. Methods 1 and 2 were tested for liver, while 2 and 3 for blood. Our results showed that both preservation methods resulted in excellent outcomes for liver samples. For blood samples however, TRIzol® preservation was an efficient procedure for adequate RNA quality, quantity, and integrity, while conservation in RNAlater® solution was inadequate in both quality and quantity for an optimal RNA extraction. Appropriate protocols were established for each tissue and are being used now for transcriptomic studies in this sentinel organism.

При производстве качественной пищевой продукции особое внимание необходимо уделять ее упаковыванию и хранению. Витаминно-минеральные концентраты, используемые для приготовления пищевых продуктов и получения качественной безопасной продукции животноводства, содержат комплекс лабильных биологически активных веществ, для сохранности которых необходимо минимизировать окислительные процессы. Это обусловливает повышенные требования к упаковке таких продуктов. С целью выбора упаковочного материала и способа упаковки витаминно-минерального концентрата проведен тематический обзор публикаций отечественных и зарубежных ученых. Рассмотрены тенденции в области применения упаковочных материалов, указаны преимущества и недостатки биополимеров. На основе проведенного анализа установлено, что для упаковывания витаминно-минерального концентрата целесообразно в качестве материала упаковки использовать полимерные пленки, обладающие высокой свето- и газонепроницаемостью, позволяющей снизить скорость протекания окислительных процессов и, следовательно, сократить потери содержащихся в продукте лабильных биологически активных веществ. В качестве способа упаковки можно рекомендовать применять вакуумирование, обеспечивающее отсутствие кислорода воздуха в упаковке. When producing high-quality food products, special attention should be paid to their packaging and storage. Vitamin and mineral concentrates used for food preparation and production of high-quality safe livestock products contain a complex of labile biologically active substances, for the safety of which it is necessary to minimize oxidative processes. This leads to increased requirements for the packaging of such products. In order to select the material and method of packaging of vitamin and mineral concentrates, a thematic review of publications of domestic and foreign scientists was conducted. Trends in the use of packaging materials are considered, advantages and disadvantages of biopolymers are indicated. It was found that for packaging vitamin and mineral concentrate, polymer pellicle with high light and gas tightness, which allows reducing the rate of oxidative processes and, consequently, reducing the loss of labile biologically active substances contained in the product, should be used as a packaging material. Vacuuming, which ensures the absence of oxygen in the air in the package, can be recommended as a method of packaging.

Ostrich meat is a high-quality dietetic product, however, it is very sensitive to deterioration during storage. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of packaging systems on the fatty acid (FA) profiles in ostrich meat during refrigerated storage. The systems were: Vacuum packaging (VP) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in two combinations of gases: MAP1 (40% O2/40% CO2/20% N2) and MAP2 (60% O2/30% CO2/10% N2). Samples were taken from the M. ilifibularis (IF) muscles of eight ostriches in each treatment group. The packs were stored in a refrigerator at 2 °C and analyzed at 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 days. The packaging conditions and storage time had an impact on the concentration of bioactive compounds such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), including n-3 such as C18:3, C20:5 (EPA) and C22:6 (DHA). The least changes in composition of n-3 and the sum of PUFA were recorded in ostrich meat packaged in vacuum, followed by that packaged using MAP1 and MAP2. The sum of n-6 PUFAs decreased significantly by 2.1% for MAP2, and only by 0.7% for vacuum packaging as the experiment progressed. A significant deterioration of these compounds was observed in all package systems, especially from day 12 until day 16 of storage.

Abstract We describe a specific and sensitive RIA for human adrenomedullin (AM)(1–52). The detection limit and the concentration required for 50% inhibition of binding were 0.1 and 1.2 fmol/tube, respectively. Cross-reactivities with AM(1–12), AM(13–52), calcitonin gene-related peptide, amylin, and other vasoactive hormones were negligible. AM immunoreactivity in normal subjects ranged from 2.7 to 10.1 pmol/L (n = 44). We investigated factors influencing the recovery and measurement of AM in the assay. Recovery of labeled AM (>80%) was markedly higher than that of unlabeled AM (56%). Immunoreactivity of exogenous AM added to plasma decreased up to 70% over four freeze–thaw cycles, whereas endogenous AM was stable. Alkali-treated casein (1 g/L) reduced adsorption of AM to surfaces and significantly increased assay precision compared with bovine serum albumin (P <0.0001). HPLC separation of extracted plasma verified the presence of AM(1–52). We suggest that considerable care is needed to ensure that accurate and reproducible results are obtained from studies quantifying this peptide.
