Molecularly imprinted sol-gel nanotubes membrane for biochemical separations

In this study, we report a simple procedure for applying molecular imprinting functional groups to the inner surfaces of the template-synthesized sol-gel nanotubes for chemical separation of estrone. The silica nanotubes were synthesized within the pores of nanopore alumina template membranes using a sol-gel method by simultaneous hydrolysis of a silica monomer-imprinted molecule complex and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). A covalent imprinting strategy was employed by generating a sacrificial spacer through the reaction of the isocyanate group of 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate and a phenol moiety of estrone to form a thermally cleavable urethane bond. This allowed us to remove the imprinted estrone by simple thermal reaction and to simultaneously introduce functional groups into the cavity formed by the silica nanotubes. Experiments indicated that estrone could be bound selectively by such an approach and have a binding affinity of 864 +/- 137 (n = 3).     

甲壳素-壳聚糖对皂土悬浮液的絮凝

研究了三种摩尔质量大体相同而脱乙酰度分别为93%、78%和62%的甲壳素-壳聚糖在pH=3～6范围内对皂土悬浮液的絮凝性质, 并与非离子型絮凝剂聚丙烯酰胺作了比较, 证明含自由氨基的甲壳素-壳聚糖在酸性溶液中形成阳离子聚电解质后. 对带负电的皂土悬浮颗粒有很好的絮凝能力. 通过对上述三种聚合物的絮凝能力、在皂土颗粒表面的吸附量等测定, 认为絮凝中桥连机制起了主导作用, 但聚合物所带正电荷则有利于被皂土颗粒所吸附, 电中和还降低了颗粒间的静电排斥, 这都对桥连絮凝起了促进作用. 聚丙烯酰胺分子在水中不带电, 故当介质pH升高使皂土颗粒双电层变厚时, 絮凝能力迅速下降.

Splenectomy improves liver fibrosis via tumor necrosis factor superfamily 14 (LIGHT) through the JNK/TGF-β1 signaling pathway

Splenectomy has been reported to improve liver fibrosis in patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Tumor necrosis factor superfamily 14 (TNFSF14; also known as LIGHT) is highly expressed in the context of fibrosis and promotes disease progression in patients with fibrotic diseases such as pulmonary and skin fibrosis. Here, we determined whether splenectomy controls the production of LIGHT to improve liver fibrosis. Splenectomy reduced serum LIGHT levels in cirrhotic patients with hypersplenism and a ConA-induced liver fibrosis mouse model. Blocking LIGHT resulted in the downregulation of TGF-β1 in RAW264.7 cells. LIGHT treatment of RAW264.7 and JS1 cells in coculture regulated transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression through the activation of JNK signaling. Small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR) in macrophages resulted in pronounced decreases in the levels of fibrosis and αSMA in JS1 cells. These results indicated that LIGHT bound to LTβR and drove liver fibrosis in vitro. Blocking TGF-β1 abolished the effect of LIGHT in vitro. Furthermore, the administration of recombinant murine LIGHT protein-induced liver fibrosis with splenectomy, while blocking LIGHT without splenectomy improved liver fibrosis in vivo, revealing that the decrease in fibrosis following splenectomy was directly related to reduced levels of LIGHT. Thus, high levels of LIGHT derived from the spleen and hepatic macrophages activate JNK signaling and lead to increased TGF-β1 production in hepatic macrophages. Splenectomy attenuates liver fibrosis by decreasing the expression of LIGHT.Subject terms: Tumour-necrosis factors, Liver fibrosis, Hepatic stellate cells, Liver cirrhosis, Experimental models of disease

Luminescence centers in porous silicon

Photoluminescence studies on porous silicon show that there are luminescence centers present in the surface states. By taking photoluminescence spectra of porous silicon with respect to temperature, a distinct peak can be observed in the temperature range 100–150 K. Both linear and nonlinear relationships were observed between excitation laser power and the photoluminescence intensity within this temperature range. In addition, there was a tendency for the photoluminescence peak to red shift at low temperature as well as at low excitation power. This is interpreted as indicating that the lower energy transition becomes dominant at low temperature and excitation power. The presence of these luminescence centers can be explained in terms of porous silicon as a mixture of silicon clusters and wires in which quantum confinement along with surface passivation would cause a mixing of andX band structure between the surface states and the bulk. This mixing would allow the formation of luminescence centers.     

μ-phenoxo-bridged binuclear copper(II) complexes

Summary Two -phenoxo-bridged binuclear copper(II) complexes, [Fsal(GG)₂Cu₂Cl₃]·H₂O (1) containing an exogenous chloride-bridge and [Fsal(GG)₂Cu₂(OH)](ClO₄)₂·H₂O (2) containing an exogenous hydroxide-bridge, where {Fsal(GG)₂ = 2,6-bis[N-(acetylglycine)-imino-methylene]-4-methylphenol}, were synthesized. The complexes were characterized be several spectroscopic methods. According to variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements (4–300 K), the hydroxide-bridged complex (2) has a weak antiferromagnetic spin exchange integral (J =- 23.6 cm), while the chloride complex (1) has an unusual weak ferromagnetic spin exchange integral (J = + 30.9 cm); both complexes have similar optical spectra in the aqueous solutions.
