壳聚糖辐射裂解制备基因载体及其体外转染性能研究

Chitosan (CS) is expected to be an ideal gene carrier for its high biosafety. In this work, CS with low molecular weight were prepared through the γ-ray radiation on the acetic acid solution of CS. The CS chains were scissioned under the γ-ray radiation, and the molecular weight (MW) of CS decreased with the absorbed dose. When the absorbed dose was above 30 kGy, the molecular weight of CS decreased about an order of magnitude. The γ-ray-radiation-scissioned CS can e ectively bind with plasmid (pEGFP) through complex coacervation method, forming pEGFP/ γ-ray-radiation-scissioned CS complex particles with a size of 200-300 nm. The complex particles have good stability and little cytotoxicity. The in uitro gene transfection efficiencies of the pEGFP/ γ-ray-radiation-scissioned CS complex particles were investigated by fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry. The results showed that the gene vectors using γ-ray-radiation-scissioned CS as the carrier will possess better gene transfection efficiency than those using natural high-MW CS as the carrier. The higher the absorbed dose, the smaller the MW of CS and the better transfection efficiency of the corresponding gene vector. This work provides a green and simple method on the preparation of CS-based gene vectors with high efficiency and biosafety.     

基于光谱发射率函数基形式不变的辐射测温技术

近年来,随着国防、工业、科技等领域飞速发展,无论是对于军用动力发射系统还是对于民用钢铁冶炼以及高科技新兴产业,辐射温度测量都具有重要意义。尤其在温度极高且伴随着瞬态测温(小于1 μs)需求的场合,多光谱辐射测温法被广泛运用。多光谱辐射测温法是通过选取被测目标多个特征波长,测量特征波长的辐射信息,再假设发射率与波长相关的数学模型,最终求解得到辐射温度。目前,利用该方法实际测温时,光谱发射率都采用固定的假设数学模型,而针对目标在不同温度状态下,该固定模型则无法进行自适应变化。同样,在不同温度下,如何解算最终的发射率和辐射温度也没有普适性的方法。基于普朗克黑体辐射定律,提出一种被测目标在不同温度下光谱发射率函数基形式不变的思想,简称发射率函数基形式不变法。通过该方法,发射率模型可以根据物体在不同温度状态下,函数系数动态改变来进行自适应变化。同时对于如何解算最终的发射率和辐射温度也相应提出了普适性的方法。通过大量仿真验证以及实际测量光谱辐射照度标准灯和溴钨灯温度实验,证明本文提出的方法比现有的光谱发射率处理方法更加简单实用并且能够有效地提高光谱发射率的计算精度,从而提高辐射温度测量精度。同时具有实用性好、应用广泛等特点。

转炉炼钢的终点控制包括钢水出钢时温度及其成分的控制,炉口火焰能够反映炉内脱碳速率及转炉运行参数等。工业炉燃烧火焰可见光谱段,普遍存在着钾(K)和钠(Na)等碱金属元素的原子发射谱线,利用K的特征谱线相对比值可以计算火焰温度。基于辐射双色法,三色法和谱线相对强度法对转炉口火焰温度进行了测量;数据处理过程中对特征谱线进行了基线拟合提取,小波脊线拟合提取;特征谱线进行了Gauss函数和Lorenz函数拟合。结果表明,辐射测温法对谱线比较敏感,选择合理的波段能够有效,精确地测量火焰温度;采用谱线相对强度法受制于特征谱线的数学模型、谱线的跃迁机率、能级的简并度及火焰的光学厚度,需要分辨率非常高的光谱仪才能进行高温转炉火焰中电子温度的测量。

将类丁二炔(10, 12-二十五碳二炔酸)囊泡固载于琼脂糖凝胶制备出了新型辐射变色凝胶复合凝胶材料。利用γ射线辐照研究了所制备凝胶的辐照响应行为,结果显示:当γ辐射剂量在500-2000 Gy内,随着剂量增加,凝胶由无色逐渐变为蓝色,颜色不断加深,采用紫外-可见光分光光度计测试其吸收光谱,发现其主要吸收峰值在660 nm附近,且辐照前后凝胶的吸光度差值与剂量有良好线性关系(相关系数R² =0.9942)。进一步研究表明:所制备的凝胶材料对γ射线和电子束辐照有相同的剂量响应,且无明显的能量和剂量率依赖性;凝胶的辐射后效应较弱,辐照后24 h,吸光度基本恒定;分次辐照对凝胶剂量计准确性的影响极小;凝胶在0-30℃范围内的响应性基本保持稳定;在辐照后48 h内,并未观察到囊泡有明显扩散效应,显示出良好的稳定性。此外,琼脂糖具有价廉、无毒且易制备为任意形状凝胶的优点,因此该凝胶剂量计有望应用于真实场景的三维剂量分布测定。     

Characterization of BGO glass–ceramic materials

Glass–ceramics of the compositions Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ (BGO) and Bi₂O₃–GeO₂ have been obtained by pouring molten materials onto graphite plates heated below and above the glass transition temperatures. Glass transitions temperatures have been measured by DSC. T_g is lower in the case of BGO than with the Bi₂O₃–GeO₂ glass ceramics material. Crystallization is evaluated by X-ray diffraction and microscopic observations. The XRD measurements confirm the amorphous structure of the samples cast below T_g. The Hruby factor, which measures the stability of the glass–ceramics, is about 0.21 in the case of BGO glass ceramics suggesting a rather stable glass. The fluorescence under U.V. excitation is larger by one order of magnitude in the case of BGO glass–ceramics by comparison to the Bi₂O₃–GeO₂ glasses, suggesting it is a good candidate for scintillation materials. The images obtained under U.V. excitation shows structured luminescent centers in the case of BGO glass–ceramics.     

Quantitative evaluation of radiation dose by γ-H2AX on a microfluidic chip in a miniature fluorescence cytometer

Evaluation of radiation dose is very important for the detection of radiation damage. γ-H2AX is a popular biological dosimeter to evaluate the radiation effect. Typically, bulky and expensive commercial flow cytometers are used to detect γ-H2AX. This paper presents a miniaturized and high sensitive cytometer using a microfluidic chip for evaluating the radiation dose by detecting the mean immunofluorescence intensity of γ-H2AX. A compact optical focusing system and a shift-phase differential amplifier are designed to improve the detection sensitivity. Sample lymphocyte cells are stained by FITC fluorescent dye after being irradiated by UVC. Comparison experiments between the developed miniature cytometer and a commercial flow cytometer were conducted under different radiation doses. The developed microfluidic cytometer also demonstrates a good linear correlation between the measured fluorescence intensity and the irradiation dose with a detection limit similar to that of the commercial flow cytometer. The developed cytometer can evaluate quantitatively the radiation dose by the mean fluorescence intensity of γ-H2AX with a significantly smaller amount of blood samples than a commercial flow cytometer.     

Construction and calibration of a multipurpose instrument to simultaneously measure dose,voltage and half-value layer in X-ray emission equipment

This work reports on the development of a multipurpose instrument that simultaneously measures delivered dose (air kerma), peak voltage (kVp) and half value layer (HVL) in X-ray machines. The device will help control quality of X-ray equipment routinely used in diagnostic and interventional radiological procedures. The measuring device is equipped with several attenuating filters of different materials and thicknesses, and Gafchromic^® XR-QA2 radiochromic films are used as sensitive elements. The films are scanned after being irradiated and the resulting color intensities indicate a relationship between the degree of film darkening under each individual filter and the quantities of interest, i.e. air kerma, kVp and HVL. Comparing HVL values measured using the proposed multipurpose instrument with those of a reference standard ionization chamber, discrepancy reached 8.4%. As for the kVp evaluation, anomalous results were observed for low atomic number materials and small thicknesses, especially for peak voltages higher than 70 kVp. However, for materials with higher Z and reasonable thickness, the calibration curve R × kVp was quite satisfactory, being R the ratio between the color intensities obtained with two distinct filters. We have also observed a decrease in the influence of Tungsten characteristic radiation on the calibration curve. These results suggest that the proposed instrument may be satisfactorily used to routinely control quality of X-ray equipment, estimating the radiation dose resulting from the direct beam, the applied voltage across the electrodes and the half value layer.     

Electron paramagnetic resonance and thermoluminescence study of Ag ions in Li2B4O7 crystals

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is used to investigate the effects of ionizing radiation on Ag-doped lithium tetraborate (Li₂B₄O₇) crystals. Two similar, yet distinct, trapped-hole centers (Ag²⁺ ions substituting for Li⁺ ions) are produced by 60 kV x rays. One Ag²⁺ ion, labeled Center A, has no nearby defects and the other Ag²⁺ ion, labeled Center B, has a neighboring impurity which is most likely a Ag⁺ ion substituting for a Li⁺ ion. The production and thermal decay properties of the two Ag²⁺ ions are described and their g matrices and ¹⁰⁷Ag and ¹⁰⁹Ag hyperfine matrices are obtained from the EPR angular dependences. The principal values of the g matrices are similar for the two centers, but the hyperfine principal values differ significantly (Center B has smaller values than Center A). There are also differences in the directions of the principal axes for the two centers. Together, these results imply (1) that the unpaired spin is less localized for Center B and (2) that the ground-state positions of the neighboring oxygen ions are different for Centers A and B. This explains why the peaks of the Ag²⁺ charge-transfer photoluminescence bands associated with Centers A and B occur at different wavelengths (502 and 725 nm, respectively). An isochronal pulsed thermal anneal shows that these radiation-induced Ag²⁺ ions serve as the recombination site for the intense thermoluminescence peak observed near 152 °C.
