The early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction requires the determination of several markers in serum shortly after its
incidence. The markers most widely employed are the isoenzyme MB of creatine kinase (CK-MB) and the cardiac troponin I (cTnI).
In the present work, a capillary waveguide fluoroimmunosensor for fast and highly sensitive simultaneous determination of
these markers in serum samples is demonstrated. The dual-analyte immunosensor was realized using glass capillaries internally
modified with an ultrathin poly(dimethylsiloxane) film by creating discrete bands of analyte-specific antibodies. The capillary
was then filled with a mixture of sample and biotinylated detection antibodies followed by reaction with streptavidin–horseradish
peroxidase and incubation with a fluorescently labeled tyramide derivative to accumulate fluorescent labels onto immunoreaction
bands. Upon scanning the capillary with a laser beam, part of the emitted fluorescence is trapped and waveguided through the
capillary wall to a photomultiplier placed on one of its ends. The employment of tyramide signal amplification provided detection
limits of 0.2 and 0.5 ng/mL for cTnI and CK-MB, respectively, in a total assay time of 30 min compared to 0.8 and 0.6 ng/mL
obtained for the corresponding assays when the conventional fluorescent label R-phycoerythrin was used in a 65-min assay.
In addition, the proposed immunosensor provided accurate and repeatable measurements (intra-assay and interassay coefficients
of variation lower than 10%), and the values determined in serum samples were in good agreement with those obtained with commercially
available enzyme immunoassays. Thus, the proposed capillary waveguide fluoroimmunosensor has all the required characteristics
for fast and reliable diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

High resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD), neutron diffraction (ND) and reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) modelling of a rapidly quenched multi-component oxide glass reveals a local atomic order largely made up by interactions between Si, Fe and Mg polyhedra, the stereochemistry of which is in close agreement with literature data. Overall, the glass was found to consist of a small number of basic Si–O, Fe–O and Mg–O clusters. A superposition of the ND dataset promotes an RMC supercell with a higher fraction of uncoordinated oxygens, more pronounced Fe–Al cluster interconnections and a markedly reduced Fe–Si–Mg cluster bridging, as compared to the RMC-generated environment restricted solely by XRD total scattering. 相似文献

We present predicted relative scattering losses from sidewall roughness in a strip waveguide compared to an identical waveguide surrounded by a photonic crystal with a complete or incomplete gap in both 2d and 3d. To do so, we develop a new semi-analytical extension of the classic “volume-current method” (Green’s functions with a Born approximation), correcting a longstanding limitation of such methods to low-index contrast systems (the classic method may be off by an order of magnitude in high-contrast systems). The resulting loss predictions show that even incomplete gap structures such as photonic-crystal slabs should, with proper design, be able to reduce losses by a factor of two compared to an identical strip waveguide; however, incautious design can lead to increased losses in the photonic-crystal system, a phenomena that we explain in terms of the band structure of the unperturbed crystal. 相似文献

The aim of this paper is the development of new models and/or the improvement of existing numerical models, used for simulating granular flow in CFB (circulating fluidized bed) recirculation systems. Most recent models follow the TFM (two-fluid model) methodology, but they cannot effectively simulate the inter-particle friction forces in the recirculation system, because the respective stress tensor does not incorporate compressibility of flow due to change of effective particle density. As a consequence, the induced normal and shear stresses are not modeled appropriately during the flow of the granular phase in the CFB recirculation system. The failure of conventional models, such as that of von Mises/Coulomb, is mainly caused by false approximation of the yield criterion which is not applicable to the CFB recirculation system. The present work adopts an alternative yield function, used for the first time in TFM Eulerian modeling. The proposed model is based on the Pitman–Schaeffer–Gray–Stiles yield criterion. Both the temporal deformation of the solid granular phase and the repose angle that the granular phase forms are more accurately simulated by this model. The numerical results of the proposed model agree well with experimental data, implying that frictional forces are efficiently simulated by the new model. 相似文献

A class of axially uniform waveguides is introduced, employing a new mechanism to guide light inside a low-index dielectric material without the use of photonic band gap, and simultaneously exhibiting subwavelength modal size and very slow group velocity over an unusually large frequency bandwidth. Their basis is the presence of plasmonic modes on the interfaces between dielectric regions and the flat unpatterned surface of a bulk metallic substrate. These novel waveguides allow for easy broadband coupling and exhibit absorption losses limited only by the intrinsic loss of the metal. 相似文献

Cocaine toxicity has been a subject of study because cocaine is one of the most common and potent drugs of abuse. In the current study the effect of cocaine on human liver cancer cell line (HepG2) was assessed. Cocaine toxicity (IC50) on HepG2 cells was experimentally calculated using an XTT assay at 2.428 mM. The metabolic profile of HepG2 cells was further evaluated to investigate the cytotoxic activity of cocaine at 2 mM at three different time points. Cell medium and intracellular material samples were analyzed with a validated HILIC-MS/MS method for targeted metabolomics on an ACQUITY Amide column in gradient mode with detection on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in multiple reaction monitoring. About 106 hydrophilic metabolites from different metabolic pathways were monitored. Multivariate analysis clearly separated the studied groups (cocaine-treated and control samples) and revealed potential biomarkers in the extracellular and intracellular samples. A predominant effect of cocaine administration on alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolic pathway was observed. Moreover, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism were found to be affected in cocaine-treated cells. Targeted metabolomics managed to reveal metabolic changes upon cocaine administration, however deciphering the exact cocaine cytotoxic mechanism is still challenging. 相似文献
