Hydrogen-Bond Cyclization Programming of Ultrasensitive Esters and Its Application in Gene Delivery

The ester bond as a universal linker has recently been applied in gene delivery systems owing to its efficient gene release by electrostatic repulsion after its cleavage. However, the ester bond is nonlabile and is difficult to cleave in cells. This work reports a method in which a secondary amine was introduced to the β-position of the ester bond to generate a hydrogen-bond cyclization (HBC) structure that can make the ester bond hydrolysis ultrafast. A series of molecules comprising ultrasensitive esters that can be activated by H₂O₂ were synthesized, and it was found that those able to form an HBC structure showed complete ester hydrolysis within 5 h in both water and phosphate-buffered saline solution, which was several times faster than other methods reported. Then, a series of amphiphilic poly(amidoamine) dendrimers were constructed, comprising the ultrasensitive ester groups for gene delivery; it was found that they could effectively release genes under quite a low concentration of H₂O₂ (<200 μm ) and transport them into the nucleus within 2 h in Hela cells with high safety. Their gene transfection efficiencies were higher than that of PEI_25k. The results demonstrated that the hydrogen-bond-induced ultrasensitive esters could be powerfully applied to construct gene delivery systems.     

保温层结构对感应加热制备太阳能级多晶硅影响的数值模拟研究

定向凝固技术是制备太阳能级多晶硅的主要制备技术.在该技术路线之中,优化多晶铸锭炉的热场结构和控制硅熔体的对流形态是获得高品质多晶硅的有效途径之一.本文设计了三种热场保温层,通过分析不同保温层下坩埚内硅熔体的热场、流场、固液界面、氧含量等的变化,确定了优化的保温层结构.研究发现,在传统固化碳毡保温层中引入石墨层可以使多晶炉内形成两个“热源”,提高多晶炉的热效率,使其能耗降低了38.5;;在洛伦兹力的作用下硅熔体中仅存在一个上下贯通的涡流,有利于硅中杂质原子的挥发.同时,添加石墨保温层后固液界面的形状由“W”状转变为凹状,其上的氧含量有所降低,并且V/Gn值在整个固液界面范围内均大于临界值,可以有效抑制氧沉淀.可见,在感应加热多晶硅生长系统中,采用固化碳毡+石墨保温层时,有利于降低多晶硅的生产成本并提高多晶硅的品质.

Graphs are (1,Δ+1)-choosable

A graph $G$ is $(k,k^{\prime })$-choosable if the following holds: For any list assignment $L$ which assigns to each vertex $v$ a set $L\left(v\right)$ of $k$ real numbers, and assigns to each edge $e$ a set $L\left(e\right)$ of $k^{\prime }$ real numbers, there is a total weighting $?:V\left(G\right)\cup E\left(G\right)\to R$ such that $?\left(z\right)\in L\left(z\right)$ for $z\in V\cup E$, and ${\sum }_{e\in E\left(u\right)}?\left(e\right)+?\left(u\right)\ne {\sum }_{e\in E\left(v\right)}?\left(e\right)+?\left(v\right)$ for every edge $uv$. This paper proves that if $G$ is a connected graph of maximum degree $\Delta \ge 2$, then $G$ is $(1,\Delta +1)$-choosable.

Extraction-chromatographic behavior of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) on TRU and LN resins in mixtures of HNO3 and HF

The behavior of group-4 homologs Zr and Hf on extraction-chromatographic sorbents LN resin and TRU resin in mixtures of HF and HNO₃ is considered. Distribution coefficients of the elements in the mixtures of 5·10⁻⁴ M–1 M HF and 0.01 M–5 M HNO₃ are determined. Strong retention of both elements was found on LN resin in the range of concentrations c(HF) ≤ 0.01 M for all concentrations of HNO₃. Retention tends to gradually disappear while increasing c(HF) to 0.5 M. On TRU resin retention is observed only in solutions with c(HNO₃) ≥ 2 M and c(HF) ≤ 0.01 M. The possibility of separating Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) on LN resin is illustrated in two different acid mixtures, whereas their separation on TRU resin under the conditions studied in this work is difficult. The results obtained can be used to isolate analytes from multicomponent mixtures during analytical tasks, as well as to separate them from each other.
