基于甲基三苯乙炔基硅烷的新型聚三唑树脂的制备与性能

首先采用格氏试剂法合成了甲基三苯乙炔基硅烷(MTPES),通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、核磁共振氢谱(1 H-NMR)对其结构进行了表征。然后以MTPES和4,4’-二叠氮甲基联苯(BAMBP)为原料制备了新型聚三唑树脂(MPTA)。利用FT-IR和差示扫描量热(DSC)研究了MPTA树脂的固化行为,通过动态力学热分析(DMA)和热重分析(TG)研究了炔基与叠氮基配比对树脂热性能的影响,并通过测试凝胶时间随贮存时间的变化研究了树脂及其四氢呋喃(THF)溶液的贮存稳定性。结果表明,固化后的树脂玻璃化转变温度(Tg)达到236℃,在氮气中的5%热失重温度(T_(d5))在320℃左右。MPTA树脂在35℃和25℃下分别贮存7d和20d后,100℃下树脂的凝胶时间分别为40min和25min,MPTA树脂的THF溶液在同样条件下贮存28d后,凝胶时间分别为54min和61min,具有比现有聚三唑树脂更好的贮存稳定性。单向T700碳纤维-MPTA复合材料常温下的弯曲强度为1 660 MPa,弯曲模量为129 GPa,150℃下的弯曲强度保留率为70%。     

A Rhodamine-based fluorescent sensor for chromium ions and its application in bioimaging

A rhodamine-based sensor (1) has been developed for the detection of chromium ions. Cr³⁺-induced opening of the rhodamine spirocycle in sensor (1) led to the distinct colorimetric and fluorescence responses. Among all the tested ions, only Cr³⁺ generated a significant fluorescence enhancement of up to 13-fold, which indicated the high selectivity of 1. Sensor (1) was successfully applied in the in vivo fluorescence imaging of Cr³⁺ in C. elegans. The results provided solid evidences for the future estimation of Cr³⁺ in environmental applications and tobacco samples.     

Two near-infrared highly sensitive cyanine fluorescent probes for pH monitoring

Two near-infrared(NIR) p H-activated heptamethine indocyanine probes with quaternary ammonium unit were designed and synthesized. The absorption and emission titrations indicate that cationic structure improves the cyanine dye's aqueous solubility and these two probes exhibit highly sensitive response to p H in acid condition. Their fluorescence intensities both gradually increase about 25-fold from p H 7.60 to 3.00 with p Ka values of 4.72 and 4.45 respectively, which are suitable for studying acidic organelles in living cells. Moreover, their fluorescence intensities are linearly proportional to p H values in the range of 5.50–4.00. These results are probably attributed to the protonation of the indole nitrogen atoms, which are verified by 1H NMR spectra. Furthermore, these two probes can achieve real-time imaging of cellular p H and detection of p H in situ in living He La cells due to their excellent properties,including good reversibility, desirable photostability, high selectivity, low cytotoxicity and remarkable membrane permeability.     

Polyethylene glycol phospholipids encapsulated silicon 2,3-naphthalocyanine dihydroxide nanoparticles (SiNcOH-DSPEPEG(NH2) NPs) for single NIR laser induced cancer combination therapy

Currently, the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a powerful technique for cancer treatment. However, most examples of combined PTT and PDT reported use multi-component nanocomposites under excitation of separate wavelength, resulting in complex treatment process. In this work, a novel theranostic nanoplatform (SiNcOH-DSPE-PEG(NH₂) NPs) has been successfully developed by coating silicon 2,3-naphthalocyanine dihydroxide (SiNcOH) with DSPE-PEG and DSPE-PEG-NH₂ for photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided PTT and PDT tumor ablation for the first time. The as-prepared single-agent SiNcOH-DSPE-PEG(NH₂) NPs not only have good water solubility and biocompatibility, but also exhibit high photothermal conversion efficiency and singlet oxygen generation capability upon 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. In addition, owing to their high absorption at NIR region, the SiNcOH-DSPE-PEG(NH₂) NPs can also be employed as an effective diagnostic nanoagent for photoacoustic (PA) imaging. In vitro and in vivo experimental results clearly indicated that the simultaneously combined PTT and PDT under the guidance of PA imaging with single NIR laser excitation can effectively kill cancer cells or eradicate tumor tissues. Taking facile synthesis and high efficiency in cancer treatment by SiNcOH-DSPE-PEG(NH₂) NPs into consideration, our study provides a promising strategy to realize molecular imaging-guided combination therapy.     

光谱法与共焦荧光成像法研究罗丹明B与ct-DNA的相互作用

采用吸收光谱、荧光光谱以及共焦荧光成像技术研究生理条件下罗丹明B(Rhodamine B,RB)与小牛胸腺DNA(ct-DNA)的相互作用以及相互作用模式。光谱研究结果显示,在450~650 nm的吸收光谱范围内,ct-DNA溶液对罗丹明B有减色作用;在560~660 nm荧光发射光谱范围内,ct-DNA对罗丹明B有荧光猝灭作用。同时,随着ct-DNA的加入,罗丹明B溶液的荧光偏振值发生变化,说明罗丹明B与ct-DNA能发生相互作用。在竞争性实验中,罗丹明B未能将亚甲基蓝(MB)从MB-ct-DNA复合体系中置换出来,说明罗丹明B与ct-DNA通过沟槽结合方式发生相互作用。共焦荧光成像结果显示,ct-DNA加入后,罗丹明B的荧光猝灭十分明显。利用罗丹明B和4',6-二脒基-2-苯基吲哚(DAPI)对He La细胞染色后进行共焦荧光成像,结果进一步证实罗丹明B与ct-DNA是通过沟槽结合作用将细胞核染成红色。     

Solvent effect in polymer analysis by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry

Solvent effect is one of the important factors in sample preparation which may affect matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectra of synthetic polymers. MALDI imaging, a useful imaging tool for discovering biomarkers in tissues, is applied here for better comprehension of solvent effect in polymer analysis by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Nylon-6 was chosen as a model polymer for the study of solvent effect. Its MALDI mass spectra in different solvents were performed. MALDI imaging analysis was performed for studying the incorporation of analytes into matrix crystals in different solvent combinations. Specifically, the colocalization of matrix and analyte was obtained through Pearson’s correlation (PC) coefficient analysis of their MALDI images. The results demonstrated that satisfactory spectra were obtained in higher PC value conditions. PC decreased along with an increase in the ratio of poor solvent, which suggested that we should minimize the poor solvent ratio to obtain better MALDI spectra.     

Rheological and thermal behavior of PLA modified by chemical crosslinking in the presence of ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylates

Crosslinking structures can be partly introduced into PLA by melt mixing in a twin screw extruder with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylates (Bis‐EMAs) as a crosslinking coagent. The study of DCP and Bis‐EMA contents on the melt rheology, thermal properties, dynamic mechanical properties and morphology of the reactive extruded pellets is presented. The results show that PLA with a DCP content higher than 3 phr exhibits increases in both the melt modulus and complex viscosity as compared with PLA. The introduction of DCP into PLA improved the thermal stability of the PLA. PLAs with various Bis‐EMA contents showed the optimum storage modulus and complex viscosity to occur at 5 phr Bis‐EMAs. Moreover, the glass transition, cold crystallization and melting temperature of PLAs decreased with increasing Bis‐EMA content. The crystallinity of the partly crosslinked PLAs was lower than that of PLA. Similar to the rheological results, the thermo‐mechanical properties showed that the storage modulus and loss modulus of the partly crosslinked PLAs increased with increasing Bis‐EMA contents up to 5 phr. In addition, these partly crosslinked PLAs showed rough surface or sea island‐like structure. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
