The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of selenium concentration in blood components and tumour tissues
of breast cancer patients and healthy volunteers (control), in Syria, using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA).
Red blood cells and serum selenium concentrations were determined in 50 healthy volunteers aged 25-70 years and 70 breast
cancer patients aged 25-84 years. Selenium levels were also measured in malignant and adjacent normal tissues from breast
cancer patients. The accuracy of the analysis was evaluated by co-analyses of international reference materials. The results
showed that selenium concentration in serum and RBC was significantly lower among breast cancer patients compared to healthy
volunteers (P<0.001). The results also showed that the selenium concentration was significantly higher in the cancer tissues compared to
adjacent normal tissues (P<0.001). We conclude that there is a good indication for selenium deviation in blood and malignant tissue of breast cancer
patients compared to that of healthy volunteers.

Electron diffraction provides useful information about the internal composition of materials and has been in the use of material scientists for more than fifty years. In order to extract useful information from offline diffraction images, they are manually analyzed by using some photometric technique. Manual analysis is however a cumbersome, laborious and difficult task. To reduce the labors of material scientists one can employ image processing techniques to perform automated analysis, due to the well established popularity and clear evidence of widely used image processing techniques. In this work an image processing technique is being proposed for the extraction of 2D unit cell information from diffraction images on one hand and finding the 2D point group contained by the lattices on the other. The technique employs a morphological shrinking operation to find the center of each spot in the underlying preprocessed diffraction image. This is followed by the extraction of eight points with reference to the spot produced by the transmitted electron beam. The resultant nine points, i.e. the extracted eight plus the reference spot generated by the transmitted electron beam, are then subjected to symmetry operations, rotation symmetry and mirror symmetry, in polar coordinate system, to classify the point group of the lattice produced by the electron diffraction. One of the difficult task, even in manual analysis, is to ascertain the exact spot where the transmitted electron beam hit the sample at the time of realization of the image. This has been accurately and intuitively done by employing the notion that the transmitted spot must have greater number of pixels, with the highest gray value, among the diffracted spots. The proposed strategy has been applied to a sample set of various images and the results shows that the technique is efficient in determining the unit cell in 2D and classify the point group with good accuracy. 相似文献

The electrochemistry of some quinones has been focused to determine the mode of interaction in presence of polyalcohols. Three compounds of each family (benzoquinones, naphthoquinones and anthraquinones) were investigated through cyclic voltammetry in the presence of ethylene glycol (a diol)) and glycerol (a triol) in dichloromethane and acetonitrile at 25°C. The observed positive shift in both the waves of the quinone with successive addition of alcohol was attributed to hydrogen bonding in the quinone-alcohol couple. “Two electron one step” electron transfer mechanism was proposed for the increase in the first wave height at the expense of second. The depletion of the first anodic wave at higher concentration of polyalcohol was rationalized in terms of protonation-deprotonation mechanism. A prior peak observed in the presence of glycerol was ascribed to the hydrogen bonding of the alcohol with neutral quinone. The difference in basicity strength within a family as well as among the three quinone families was also addressed in view of the interaction effectiveness. 相似文献

This study reports the development and use of a novel thermoresponsive polymeric nanofilm for controlling cell adhesion and growth at 37 °C, and then cell detachment for cell recovery by subsequent temperature drop to the ambient temperature, without enzymatic cleavage or mechanical scraping. A copolymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-hydroxypropyl methacrylate-co-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate) (abbreviated PNIPAAm copolymer), was synthesized by free radical polymerization. The thermoresponses of the copolymer in aqueous solution were demonstrated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) through detecting the sensitive changes of copolymer aggregation against temperature. The DLS measurements revealed the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at approximately 30 °C. The PNIPAAm film stability and robustness was provided through silyl cross-linking within the film and with the hydroxyl groups on the substrate surface. Film thickness, stability, and reversibility with respect to temperature switches were examined by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angle measurements. The results confirmed the high extent of thermosensitivity and structural restoration based on the alterations of film thickness and surface wettability. The effective control of adhesion, growth, and detachment of HeLa and HEK293 cells demonstrated the physical controllability and cellular compatibility of the copolymer nanofilms. These PNIPAAm copolymer nanofilms could open up a convenient interfacial mediation for cell film production and cell expansion by nonenzymatic and nonmechanical cell recovery. 相似文献

A new coumarin derivative containing benzothiazole and piperazine substituents was synthesized. Preferential inclusion of the benzothiazole group, over the coumarin and piperazine groups, inside the cavity of the molecular container cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) was evidenced by using optical and NMR techniques. The binding constant of the new complex with CB7 is higher in its protonated forms (e.g., K = 2.8 × 106 M−1) than in its neutral forms, which led to an increase in the pKa value associated with protonation of the aza nitrogen on the benzothiazole ring of ca. 2.5 units. Such CB7-induced protonation disabled the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) in the included molecule, enhancing its coumarin fluorescence up to ca. 45-fold (pH 3.5, 410 nm). The results are discussed in the context of designing sensitive analytical tools for reversible monitoring of optically inactive analytes by competitive displacement experiments. 相似文献

Transparent conducting polycrystalline Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films were deposited on sapphire substrates at substrate temperatures ranging from 200 to 300 °C by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). X-ray diffraction measurement shows that the crystalline quality of AZO films was improved with increased substrate temperature. The electrical and optical properties of the AZO films have been systematically studied via various experimental tools. The room-temperature micro-photoluminescence (µ-PL) spectra show a strong ultraviolet (UV) excitonic emission and weak deep-level emission, which indicate low structural defects in the films. A Raman shift of about 11 cm−1 is observed for the first-order longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon peak for AZO films when compared to the LO phonon peak of bulk ZnO. The Raman spectra obtained with UV resonant excitation at room temperature show multi-phonon LO modes up to third order. Optical response due to free electrons of the AZO films was characterized in the photon energy range from 0.6 to 6.5 eV by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). The free electron response was expressed by a simple Drude model combined with the Cauchy model are reported. 相似文献

Future advances in designing bioactive materials, such as antithrombotic coatings for cardiovascular stents, will require widely applicable and robust methods of surface modification. In this paper, we report on the development of multifunctional polymer coatings made by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) copolymerization. Polymer coatings of various [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives were co‐deposited in controlled ratios and their chemical composition verified by FT‐IR and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, preliminary biocompatibility of these coatings was assessed using human umbilical vein endothelial cells and 3T3 murine fibroblasts. The parallel immobilization of two different antithrombotic biomolecules onto a CVD‐based copolymer is also demonstrated by orthogonal immobilization strategies.

Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) fusion technology is widely used in the production of heterologous proteins from prokaryotic system to aid in protein solubilization and refolding. Due to an extensive clinical application of human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP2) in bone augmentation, total RNA was isolated from human gingival tissue and mature gene was amplified through RT-PCR, cloned (pET21a), sequence analyzed, and submitted to GenBank (Accession no. KF250425). To obtain soluble expression, SUMO3 was tagged at the N-terminus of hBMP2 gene (pET21a/SUMO3-hBMP2), transferred in BL21 codon+, and ~?40% soluble expression was obtained on induction with IPTG. The dimerized hBMP2 was confirmed with Western blot, native PAGE analysis, and purified by fast protein liquid chromatography with 0.5 M NaCl elution. The cleavage of SUMO3 tag from hBMP2 converted it to an insoluble form. Computational 3D structural analysis of the SUMO3-hBMP2 was performed and optimized by molecular dynamic simulation. Protein-protein interaction of SUMO3-hBMP2 with BMP2 receptor was carried out using HADDOCK and inferred stable interaction. The alkaline phosphatase assay of SUMO3-hBMP2 on C2C12 cells showed maximum 200-ng/ml dose-dependent activity. We conclude that SUMO3-tagged hBMP2 is more suited for generation of soluble form of the protein and addition of SUMO3 tag does not affect the functional activity of hBMP2. 相似文献
