Gamma radiation effects on an amine antioxidant added in an ethylene-propylene copolymer

The aim of this work was to compare the gamma radiation induced effects on samples of an ethylene-propylene copolymer antioxidant free with samples loaded with an antioxidant characterised by the presence of an -NH functional group. The employed techniques were Electron Spin Resonance spectroscopy (ESR) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Stable radicals R---NO° due to the interaction of free radicals produced in the irradiated polymer with the antioxidant have been observed by ESR at room temperature. The time evolution of the ESR signals following the irradiation was examined at different doses. The amount of antioxidant not involved in the oxidation reactions has been determined using HPLC.

Some microrheological aspects of wood-pulp fibres subjected to fatigue loading

Wood-pulp fibres are recognized as concentrically-layered, laminated composite tubes of structural reinforcing material, the cellulose microfibrils, embedded in a cementing matrix of hemicellulose and lignin. When the single fibres are subjected to cyclic mechanical action, their morphological behaviour is characterized by the fatigue growth of micro-voids and surface damage which individually and collectively give rise to stress concentrations, and eventually crack development. The progressive damage phenomena, evinced by the surface imaging and optical sectioning techniques through utilizing confocal laser scanning microscopy, are understood to be consequences of the cumulative material micromechanical degradation and subsequent microstructural breakdown of the cellulose microfibrillar framework. This structural breakdown is believed to effect the fibrillation and flexibilization of the fibres This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Detecting DNA Damage with a Silver Solid Amalgam Electrode

Mercury electrodes modified with supercoiled (sc) DNA have been used as highly sensitive tools for the detection of DNA strand breaks or as sensors for DNA cleaving substances. In this paper we show that silver solid amalgam electrode (AgSAE), in connection with alternating current voltammetry, provides similar information about DNA damage as the hanging mercury drop electrode. The AgSAE can be used for the detection of enzymatic or chemical DNA cleavage in solution or at the electrode surface. AgSAE modified with scDNA can be utilized as a sensor for DNA nicking substances.     

Design of photoactivated DNA oxidizing agents: synthesis and study of photophysical properties and DNA interactions of novel viologen-linked acridines

A new series of photoactivated DNA oxidizing agents in which an acridine moiety is covalently linked to viologen by an alkylidene spacer was synthesized, and their photophysical properties and interactions with DNA, including DNA cleaving properties, were investigated. The fluorescence quantum yields of the viologen-linked acridines were found to be lower than that of the model compound 9-methylacridine (MA). The changes in free energy for the electron transfer reactions were found to be favorable, and the fluorescence quenching observed in these systems is explained by an electron transfer mechanism. Intramolecular electron transfer rate constants were calculated from the observed fluorescence quantum yields and singlet lifetime of MA and are in the range from 1.06x10(10) s(-1) for 1 a (n=1) to 6x10(8) s(-1) for 1 c (n=11), that is, the rate decreases with increasing spacer length. Nanosecond laser flash photolysis of these systems in aqueous solutions showed no transient absorption, but in the presence of guanosine or calf thymus DNA, transient absorption due to the reduced viologen radical cation was observed. Studies on DNA binding demonstrated that the viologen-linked acridines bind effectively to DNA in both intercalative and electrostatic modes. Results of PM2 DNA cleavage studies indicate that, on photoexcitation, these molecules induce DNA damage that is sensitive to formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase. These viologen-linked acridines are quite stable in aqueous solutions and oxidize DNA efficiently and hence can be useful as photoactivated DNA-cleaving agents which function purely by the co-sensitization mechanism.     

Damage spreading in a single-component irreversible reaction process: Dependence of the system's immunity on the Euclidean dimension

The spreading of a globally distributed damage, created in the stationary regime, is studied in a single-component irreversible reaction process, i.e., the BK model [Browne and Kleban,Phys. Rev. A 40, 1615 (1989)]. The BK model describes one variant of the A+AA₂ reaction process on a lattice in contact with a reservoir of A species. The BK model has a single parameter, namely the rate of arrival of A species to the lattice (Y). The model, exhibits an irreversible phase transition between a stationary reactive state with production of A₂ species and a poisoned state with the lattice fully covered by A species. The transition takes place at critical points (Y _C ) which solely depend on the Euclidean dimensiond. It is found that the system is immune ford=1 andd=2, in the sense that even 100% of initial damage is healed within a finite healing period (T _H ). Within the reactive regime,T _H diverges when approachingY _C according toT _H (Y _C –Y)^–, with 1.62 and 1.08 ford=1 andd=2, respectively. Ford=3 a frozen-chaotic transition is found close toY _s 0.4125, i.e., well inside the reactive regime 0YY _C 0.4985. Just atY _S the damageD(t) heals according toD(t) t ^–, with 0.71. For the frozen-chaotic transition atd=3 the order parameter critical exponent 0.997 is determined.     

Development of an HPLC method with electrochemical detection of femtomoles of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine in the presence of uric acid

A selective method based on high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD) was developed to enable simultaneous detection of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo), products of DNA oxidative damage, in the presence of uric acid (UA), a strong interferent in their electrochemical detection. The method developed consists of HPLC isocratic elution with amperometric detection on a glassy carbon electrode, enabling a detection limit for 8-oxoGua and 8-oxodGuo lower than 1 nM in standard mixtures. Detection of low concentrations up to 25 nM of 8-oxoGua and 8-oxodGuo in the presence of UA in a 10⁴-fold higher concentration was achieved after one-step solid phase extraction (SPE). The method was tested with urine samples and it was possible to detect and quantify the presence of 8-oxoGua, and to confirm that UA was eliminated after uricase degradation and SPE. The LOD found in urine samples was about 80 nM, a value higher than in standard mixtures, due to the increase of background current in the urine matrix. The results presented here contribute to the development of a methodological approach to simultaneous determination of 8-oxoGua and 8-oxodGuo in urine samples.
