The article presents a study which examines the effect of heterologous newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection on tissue free radicals metabolisms of ducks. Researchers measure and compare the content of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione superoxidase (GSH-Px) to analyze the change in tissues of ducks infected with NDV. Results reveal the involvement of free radicals in the pathogenic course of ducks infected with NDV.

Long persistent phosphoresceoce CaAl2O4:Eu2+, Nd3+ nanoparticles were synthesized through sol-gel method. The structures and properties of the samples were analyzed by DTA, TGA, XRD, TEM and spectrometer. Results indicated that the CaAl2O4 crystalline phase was formed at 800 degrees C. The particles are spherical in shape and about 20-40 nm in size. The peaks of the excitation, emission and thermoluminescence spectra shift compared with the CaAl2O4: Eu2+,Nd3+ coarse crystals. The luminescence decay includes a initial rapid part and a following slow part. The decay time lasts for about 5 h.
