Red globe grapes were processed with compound coating liquid of chitosan with mass fraction at 1% and natamycin with mass fractions at 0.20% （T1）, 0.40% （T2） and 0.60% （T3）, respectively. Grapes processed with water （CK3） and 1% chitosan （CK2） were taken as control groups. Rotten rate, seed shattering rate, mass loss rate, respiratory intensity and related physiological quality in test and control groups were compared. The results indicated that respiratory intensity, mass loss rate, rotten rate and seed shattering rate in CK1 were all higher than those in CK2. In addition, T1, T2 and T3 were lower in the indices than CK1 and CK2, but still kept at a high level in fruit hardness. Furthermore, mass fractions of Vc and titratable acid declined more slowly in T1, T2 and T3, compared with CK1 and CK2. Natamycin better preserved grapes and prolonged storage period. In general, natamycin with mass fraction at 0.4% proved best in fresh-keeping.展开更多

METHODS: Fusarium solani was induced in the right eye of 30 New Zealand rabbits. Forty-eight hours after inoculation, the animals were divided into 3 different treatment groups, 10 rabbit eyes of each group: Group 1 (Natamycin) treated with topical Natamycin, group 2 (Natacyn) treated with topical Natacyn, group 3 (control) treated with topical saline solution. The eyes of each group was examined clinically with slit lamp using ulcer scoring system on day 4, 10, 15, and 21 for status of healing, corneal vascularisation, iritis, hypopyon and macular nebula. The findings were recorded on day 10 and day 21. RESULTS: Ulcer score on day 10, day 15, day 21: The score of Natamycin group are 1.45 +/- 0.16, 1.08 +/- 0.11, 0.70 +/- 0.40. The score of Natacyn group are 1.35 +/- 0.12, 1.10 +/- 0.12, 0.65 +/- 0.35. the score of control group are 1.30 +/- 0.08, 3.63 +/- 0.28, 3.80 +/- 0.16. Natamycin group and Natacyn group were different from control group (P <0.01). There is no difference between Natamycin group and Natacyn group. Status of healing on day 10 and day 21: The cure rate of the Natamycin group is 90% on day 10, and 100% on day 21. The cure rate of the Natacyn group is 80% on day 10, and 100% on day 21.Natamycin group and Natacyn group were different from control group (P<0.01). There is no difference between Natamycin group and Natacyn group. Corneal vascularisation, iritis, hypopyon and macular nebula on day 10 and day 21: in Natamycin group, the number of the eyes which have Corner vascularisation, iritis, hypopyon and macular nebula are 2,0,0,2. In Natacyn group, the number of the eyes which have Corner vascularisation, iritis, hypopyon and macular nebula are 1,0,0,2. In control group, the number of the eyes which have Corner vascularisation, iritis, hypopyon and macular nebula are 9,9,8,9.Natamycin group and Natacyn group were different from control group (P<0.01). There is no difference between Natamycin group and Natacyn group. CONCLUSION: Natamycin was found to be effective in fungal keratitis, similar to Natacyn, and it can stop the corner vascularisation, iritis, hypopyon and macular nebula to happen. Natamyin manufactured in China is effective against fungal keratitis, with esay availability and low toxicity in its use.展开更多

In order to maintain storage quality, a 1.5%(w/w) chitosan(CS) water solution containing 50 mg/L of natamycin(NA) was introduced. After all treatments were completed, the fruit was stored at 0°C and sampled every 10 d. At each sampling date, the following tests were performed: mold and yeast analyses; enzyme activity and content analyses which included superoxide dismutase(SOD), ascorbate peroxidase(APX), and malondialdehyde(MDA); and color analysis. In addition, a sensory evaluation was carried out for quality assessment at the end of the storage period. The results showed that the application of a chitosan coating combined with natamycin(CSNA) enhanced the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase(APX), reduced the physiological rate of senescence, and inhibited pathogen attack. Thus, CSNA treatment can maintain ground cherries at an acceptable level of storage quality for 50 d.展开更多

In addition, melt viscosity measurements, thermogravimetric analysis, in vitro drug release studies and in vitro mucoadhesion test were performed. High molecular weight grades of KlucelTM hydroxypropylcellulose were used as a thermoplastic polymer. TEC and PEG 400 were chosen as plasticizer. According to the obtained results of melt viscosity measurements, the maximum torque of extrudates prepared using PEG 400 increased with increasing drug loading. The thermo-gravimetric analyses showed that natamycin is stable up to 198℃ and this result gives the opportunity to hot melt extrussion process at 90℃. In vitro drug release results showed that the release was extended up to 72 hours and drug release rate increased with increasing drug loading. In respect to the in vitro mucoadhesion test results, the values of work of mucoadhesion were found high as 771,977 mN.mm, 753,199 mN.mm, 686,356 mN.mm for the prepared hot melt extruded mini-matrices. Our results showed that the developed formulations were found worthy of further studies.展开更多

Methods:A total of 65 cases diagnosed with fungal keratitis by direct smear and/or fungus culture from January 2010 to January 2013 were enrolled in this study.The duration from the onset of symptoms to admission to our ophthalmic center ranged from 9 to 90 d (mean 29.5 ±19.1 d) in the severe group, which significantly differed from the 7 to 36 d (mean 16.6±7.1 d) in the non-severe group (P<0.01). All cases were divided into non-severe and severe groups based on the degree of corneal inflammation. All cases were treated with topical use of 5% natamycin and 0.2% fluconazole once per hour. The same clinical and examination protocols were adopted for both groups. Results:In the non-severe group,23 of the 24 patients (95.8%) were healed, and 1 (4.2%) showed treatment effica cy. In the severe group,12 of 41 patients (29.3%) were healed, 11(26.8%) showed clinical efficacy, and 18(43.9%) showed no efficacy. The patients between two groups significantly differed in terms of efficacy (P<0.01). Conclusion:Combined use of 5% natamycin and 0.2% fluconazole is efficacious in treating fungal keratitis, especially mild or moderate infections.展开更多
