Using Toad Oocytes as an Ultrasensitive System for Estimating the Biological Activity of Trichosanthin

A sensitive bioassay for estimating the activity of Trichosanthin was developed by using intraoocyte microinjection as the technique and germinal vescicle breakdown as a marker. The GVBD inhibitory activity assay was million-fold more sensitive than the routinely used abortifacient activity assay. The detectable amount of Trichosanthin ranged from 0.5 to 100 pg. Since the least detectable dose was 0.5 pg, it made the assay suitable to analyse the microquantity of pure Trichosanthin used for studying the structure and function of the drug.     

NaNO2/FeSO4存在下聚苯乙烯大分子引发剂的合成及嵌段共聚

用NaNO2/FeSO4·7H2O体系替代TEMPO在有机相中合成分子量可控的聚苯乙烯大分子引发剂,引发苯乙烯聚合及酯类单体[如甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)、丙烯酸甲酯(MA)和丙烯酸乙酯(EA)等]聚合,得到两嵌段共聚物.其多分散性指数小于1.5,体现了可控聚合的特征.用大分子引发剂引发苯乙烯进行活性链增长,单体的转化率较高.嵌段共聚物的实测分子量与理论分子量相近,结构经1HNMR和GPC表征.NaNO2/FeSO4·7H2O体系在纯有机相中的应用降低了活性聚合的成本,有利于工业化应用.

采用简单的热解-硫化两步法成功制备了一种新型的富氮掺杂碳空心纳米笼(NC)负载双元金属硫化物纳米颗粒(CoNi_xS_y)的复合材料 CoNi_xS_y/NC。该策略以丁二酮肟镍为镍源,增加了活性位点,同时前驱体 ZIF-8@Ni-ZIF-67的核壳结构为空心碳纳米笼的构建提供了可能性。这种独特的负载多金属硫化物纳米颗粒的中空结构使CoNi_xS_y/NC作为电极材料时具有更多的活性位点、更高的导电性和结构稳定性,从而使其具有较高的比容量(1 A·g^-1时比容量为629.2 F·g^-1),优异的循环稳定性(1 A·g^-1下1 000次循环测试后容量保持率为93.4%)。当将其进一步组装成对称超级电容器后,在1 A·g^-1下可提供207.2 F·g^-1的比电容,1 000圈循环稳定后的容量保持率为85.36%。     

Facile synthesis of a porous network-like silver film for electrocatalytic detection of nitrate

We have developed a method for in-situ construction of a porous network-like silver film on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). It is based on a galvanic replacement reaction where a layer of copper nanoparticles is first electrodeposited as a sacrificial template. The silver film formed possesses a porous network-like structure and consists of an assembly of numerous nanoparticles with an average size of 200 nm. The electrode displays excellent electrocatalytic activity, good stability, and fast response (within 2 s) toward the reduction of nitrate at a working potential of −0.9 V. The catalytic currents linearly increase with the nitrate concentrations in the range of 0.08–6.52 mM, with a detection limit of 3.5 μM (S/N = 3) and a repeatability of 3.4 % (n = 5).

A facile method was developed for in situ construction of a porous network-like Ag film on a glassy carbon electrode by a galvanic replacement reaction, where a layer of Cu nanoparticles previously electrodeposited as a sacrificial template. Thus-formed Ag film displays excellent electrocatalytic activity, good stability, and fast response (within 2 s) toward nitrate reduction.

     

A study on the direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of microperoxidase-11 immobilized on a porous network-like gold film: Sensing of hydrogen peroxide

We have prepared porous and network-like nanofilms of gold by galvanic replacement of a layer of copper particles acting as a template. The films were first characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, and then modified with cysteamine so to enable the covalent immobilization of the enzyme microperoxidase-11. The immobilized enzyme undergoes direct electron transfer to the underlying electrodes, and the electrode displays high electrocatalytic activity towards the reduction of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, respectively, owing to the largely enhanced electroactive surface of the porous gold film. The detection limit of H₂O₂ is 0.4 μM (3 S/N).

Generation of 2.1 W Continuous Wave Blue Light by Intracavity Doubling of a Diode-End-Pumped Nd：YAG Laser in a 30 mm LBO

A folded four-mirror cavity with a composite Nd：YAG rod is optimized to obtain high efficient cw 473nm blue output. The laser could operate stably in the region of the thermal-lens focal length from 20mm to 70mm. LBO is used for intracavity frequency doubling of the 946nm transition of Nd：YAG and the optimum LBO length is investigated. A maximum output power of 2.1 Win the blue spectral range at 473nm is achieved with 30-mm-long LBO, corresponding to an optical conversion efficiency of 9.1%.     

Spermine-graft-dextran non-covalent copolymer as coating material in separation of basic proteins and neurotransmitters by capillary electrophoresis

Spermine-graft-dextran (Spe-g-Dex) copolymer was synthesized and used as a non-covalent coating for the separation of proteins and neurotransmitters by capillary electrophoresis. The coating was obtained via flushing the capillary with 1.0% Spe-g-Dex copolymer solution for 2 min. Electroosmotic flow (EOF) was strongly suppressed, ranging from −1.60 × 10⁻⁹ to 3.65 × 10⁻⁹ m² V⁻¹ s⁻¹. Effect of experimental conditions, such as the copolymer concentration, the concentration and pH of the background electrolyte (BGE), on the Spe-g-Dex coating was investigated. Separation of lysozyme, cytochrome c, ribonuclease A and α-chymotrypsinogen yielded high separation efficiencies ranging from 141 000 to 303 000 plates/m and recoveries from 85.4% to 98.3% at pH 4.0 (284.0 mM sodium acetate–acetic acid buffer, I = 50 mM). Run-to-run repeatabilities and day-to-day, and capillary-to-capillary reproducibilities were all below 1.7%. In addition, Spe-g-Dex coating allowed the successful separation of five neurotransmitters, 5-hydroxytryptamine, dopamine, epinephrine, isoprenaline, dobuamine at pH 4.0 with high separation efficiencies of 290 000–449 000 plates/m.
