A procedure using a solid-phase support has been developed for the isolation and derivatization of prostaglandins from biological matrices. The styrene-divinylbenzene cross-linked copolymeric macroreticular resin, XAD-2, was used as an adsorbent for prostaglandin E2 from biological samples, as a support for the oximation of the carbonyl group and as a catalyst for pentafluorobenzylation. The reactor bed was then linked to a Florisil column for a final chromatographic clean-up. Matrix effects were found to affect the yield, but recovery of the desired electrophoric products was comparable with methods reported in the literature. The ease of sample preparation suggests that this technique may be a viable approach to automating the processes for preparing prostaglandins from biological matrices for gas chromatographic analysis. 相似文献

Epidemiological Support for an Hypothesis for Melanoma Induction Indicating a Role for UVA Radiation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
An hypothesis for melanoma induction is presented: UV radiation absorbed by melanin in melanocytes generates products that may activate the carcinogenic process. Products formed by UV absorption in the upper layers of the epidermis cannot diffuse down as far as to the melanocytes. Thus, melanin in the upper layer of the skin may be protective, while that in melanocytes may be photocarcinogenic. Observations that support this hypothesis include: (1) Africans with dark skin have a reduced risk of getting all types of skin cancer as compared with Caucasians, but the ratio of their incidence rates of cutaneous malignant melanoma to that of squamous cell carcinoma is larger than the corresponding ratio for Caucasians. (2) Albino Africans, as compared with normally pigmented Africans, seem to have a relatively small risk of getting cutaneous malignant melanomas compared to nonmelanomas. This is probably also true for albino and normally pigmented Caucasians. (3) Among sun-sensitive, poorly tanning persons, frequent UV exposures are associated with increased risk of melanoma, whereas among sun-resistant, well-tanning persons, increased frequency of exposure is associated with decreased melanoma risk. (4) It is likely that UVA, being absorbed by melanin, might have a melanoma-inducing effect. This is in agreement with some epidemiological investigations which indicate that sun-screen lotions may not protect sufficiently against melanoma induction. The relative latitude gradient for UVA is much smaller than that for UVB. The same is true for the relative latitude gradient of cutaneous malignant melanoma as compared with squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma. Under the assumption that the average slopes of the curves relating incidence rates with fluences of carcinogenic UV radiation are similar for melanomas and nonmelanomas, these facts are in agreement with the assumption that UVA plays a significant role in the induction of melanomas in humans. This is in agreement with the experimental results with Xiphophorus. 相似文献

Modern acrylic binders for water-based exterior wood coatings should give films which are tack-free, hard and blocking resistant and at the same time very flexible to guarantee a long service life. This study shows that multiphase acrylic emulsions with controlled particle morphology give a means to overcome these contradictory requirements. Binder parameters such as polarity, particle size and surface functionality as well as the type and quantity of surfactants used in the process also have a strong influence on fundamental wood coating properties, such as water protection, blushing resistance, viscosity, wet adhesion and durability. 相似文献

In the continual search of new therapeutics, many possible drug candidates are excluded, because they are found to negatively affect mitochondrial function. We have developed an approach for directly, electrochemically assaying mitochondrial metabolic activity as a function of metabolic substrate to determine drug toxicity. By wiring mouse mitochondria to a carbon electrode surface, electrons can be intercepted before they reach Complex IV, the terminal step of electron transport chain. The electrons are rerouted, to a separate electrode of the electrochemical cell, the cathode. This allows for the direct measurement of electrical current and potential of the mitochondria during their oxidation of substrates such as pyruvate and fatty acids when there are different concentrations of drug present. This analytical technique has been shown to reliably assay several classical mitochondrial toxins and exhibits potential for the further development of a drug candidate screening technique, as well as other applications where the quantitative study of mitochondrial dysfunction is important. 相似文献

4,4-Difluoropyrazolidine-3,5-dione was synthesized as a precursor for the corresponding pyrazolinedione, envisioned as a photochemical source of difluorocarbene. However, this azo compound proved to be far too unstable. In contrast, 10,10-difluorobicyclo[4.3.1]deca-1,3,5-triene, readily synthesized from indane, was found to be a practical source of difluorocarbene for photochemical as well as thermal cyclopropanation reactions. 相似文献

The purposes of this paper are moving toward (a) the development of a new series of photoinitiators (PIs) which are based on the keto-coumarin (KC) core, (b) the introduction of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as inexpensive and safe sources of irradiation, (c) the study of the photochemical mechanisms through which the new PIs react using different techniques such as Fourier transform infrared, UV–visible or fluorescence spectroscopy, and so on, (d) the use of such compounds (presenting good reactivity and excellent photopolymerization initiating abilities) for two specific and high added value applications: 3D printing (@405 nm) and preparation of thick glass fiber photocomposites with excellent depth of cure, and finally (e) the comparison of the performance of these KC derivatives versus other synthesized coumarin derivatives. In this study, six well-designed KC derivatives ( KC-C , KC-D , KC-E , KC-F , KC-G , and KC-H ) are examined as high-performance visible-light PIs for the cationic polymerization of epoxides as well as the free-radical polymerization of acrylates upon irradiation with LED@405 nm. Excellent polymerization rates are obtained using two different approaches: a photo-oxidation process in combination with an iodonium (Iod) salt and a photo-reduction process when associated with an amine (N-phenylglycine or ethyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate). High final reactive conversions were obtained. A full picture of the involved photochemical mechanisms is provided. 相似文献

We report a set of material characterizations on the nematic mixture Mischung V . With these measurements, as well as previously known results, Mischung V becomes the second nematic liquid crystal possessing a complete set of known physical parameters relevant for electroconvection, enabling quantitative comparison with theoretical predictions to be made. Additionally, we have identified a stable dopant which induces in Mischung V the electrical conductivity necessary for observing the conduction regime of electroconvection. Mischung V is thus validated as a suitable substitute for materials that have traditionally been chosen for these types of experiments. However, Mischung V does not present the same experimental difficulties as traditional materials. 相似文献

Dissolved ions in aqueous media are ubiquitous in many physicochemical processes, with a direct impact on research fields, such as chemistry, climate, biology, and industry. Ions play a crucial role in the structure of the surrounding network of water molecules as they can either weaken or strengthen it. Gaining a thorough understanding of the underlying forces from small clusters to bulk solutions is still challenging, which motivates further investigations. Through a systematic analysis of the interaction energies obtained from high-level electronic structure methodologies, we assessed various dispersion-corrected density functional approaches, as well as ab initio-based data-driven potential models for halide ion–water clusters. We introduced an active learning scheme to automate the generation of optimally weighted datasets, required for the development of efficient bottom-up anion–water models. Using an evolutionary programming procedure, we determined optimized and reference configurations for such polarizable and first-principles-based representation of the potentials, and we analyzed their structural characteristics and energetics in comparison with estimates from DF-MP2 and DFT+D quantum chemistry computations. Moreover, we presented new benchmark datasets, considering both equilibrium and non-equilibrium configurations of higher-order species with an increasing number of water molecules up to 54 for each F, Cl, Br, and I anions, and we proposed a validation protocol to cross-check methods and approaches. In this way, we aim to improve the predictive ability of future molecular computer simulations for determining the ongoing conflicting distribution of different ions in aqueous environments, as well as the transition from nanoscale clusters to macroscopic condensed phases. 相似文献

The nanometer scale is a special place where all sciences meet and develop a particularly strong interdisciplinarity. While biology is a source of inspiration for nanoscientists, chemistry has a central role in turning inspirations and methods from biological systems to nanotechnological use. DNA is the biological molecule by which nanoscience and nanotechnology is mostly fascinated. Nature uses DNA not only as a repository of the genetic information, but also as a controller of the expression of the genes it contains. Thus, there are codes embedded in the DNA sequence that serve to control recognition processes on the atomic scale, such as the base pairing, and others that control processes taking place on the nanoscale. From the chemical point of view, DNA is the supramolecular building block with the highest informational content. Nanoscience has therefore the opportunity of using DNA molecules to increase the level of complexity and efficiency in self-assembling and self-directing processes. 相似文献

This communication describes a simple and rapid technique for electrophoretically assisted capture of phages, viruses, and other pathogens on the surface of an ultrafiltration membrane that can be considered smooth at the nanoscale. The surface was prepared by coating commercial dialysis membrane with a micrometer-thick layer of cross-linked dextran or globular proteins. To ensure strong adherence of the coating, the surface of the dialysis membrane was activated in cold plasma. It was shown that the root-mean-square roughness of the coating was well below 1 nm when the polymer solution used for coating was allowed to slowly dry through a dialysis membrane left in direct contact with mica. Relatively small viral particles (e.g., fd phages 0.7 microm long and only 3.5 nm high in the dry state) are readily visible by AFM following electrophoretic capture from suspensions containing as few as 1 x 10(6) particles/mL onto membranes prepared as described. 相似文献

Encapsulating transition‐metal nanoparticles inside carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or spheres has emerged as a novel strategy for designing highly durable nonprecious‐metal catalysts. The stable carbon layer protects the inner metal core from the destructive reaction environment and thus is described as chain mail for catalysts. Electron transfer from the active metal core to the carbon layer stimulates unique catalytic activity on the carbon surface, which has been utilized extensively in a variety of catalytic reaction systems. Here, we elaborate the underlying working principle of chain mail for catalysts as well as the key factors that determine their catalytic properties, and provide insights into the physicochemical nature of such catalyst architectures for further application of the strategy in rational catalyst design. 相似文献

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important biomarker in clinical diagnostics, and the abnormal level of ALP enzyme in serum is closely related to various diseases such as bone metastases, bone or liver cancer, and extrahepatic biliary obstruction. Recognizing the location and expression level of ALP in live cells has a substantial importance in early-stage cancer diagnosis, as well as an important parameter for studying the recovery of the patients after liver transplantation. With the advent of the newer and advanced fluorescence imaging techniques, small-molecule fluorescent probes have become a very powerful tool for mapping the subtle changes in the enzyme expression level in living cells and tissues in real-time. In this account, we provide an overview of recent advances in small-molecule ALP fluorescent probes, mainly during the last few years, including the design strategies and applications for biological applications. 相似文献

Tests were conducted by a Task Force on Disinfectant Test Methods that was appointed to investigate controversies regarding the accuracy of AOAC test methods for disinfectants as presented in AOAC's Official Methods of Analysis, Chapter 6. The general principles for new and improved AOAC tests are discussed, and a disinfectant test using microbes labeled onto a polyester fiber surface is described. The quantitative test measures the survival of test microbes as a function of exposure time as well as the exposure conditions required to kill 6 log10 of the test microbes. The time required was similar to that for the kinetics of the kill of Bacillus subtilis-labeled cylinders as tested by methods of the AOAC Sporicidal Test 966.04. 相似文献

Two small-size plasmas used as detectors of halogenated hydrocarbons and suitable for miniaturized instrumentation are discussed. A reduced pressure dielectric barrier discharge was integrated in a diode laser atomic absorption spectrometer and the already reported chlorine detection limits of 5 ppm (v/v) can be improved with one order of magnitude by spatially resolved measurements. A microstructured electrode discharge at atmospheric pressure was coupled with a miniaturized Échelle spectrometer and detection limits were found to be 20 ppb for chlorine as well as for fluorine. 相似文献

The most significant demand for biomaterials has emerged as a consequence of the need to provide clinical treatment to a large number of patients. The search for potential solutions produces a large demand for materials suitable for bone repair or replacement. Calcium phosphates, bio-glasses, bio-glass ceramics and ordered silica mesoporous materials, among other types of materials, will be reviewed and studied from the point of view of their potential applications as replacement materials in bone repair and regeneration, as potential substrates in tissue engineering, and also as drug delivery systems. An overview on the present achievements, but also on the "missing links" will be presented. 相似文献

Household dust can be a major source of human exposure to environmental contaminants such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers, pesticides, and other compounds. This work shows a screening technique that may be used to identify components in an environmental sample as xenobiotics based on mass spectral characteristics of classes of compounds that may be expected to be present in the environment. Household dust (SRM-2585) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was extracted with hexane using accelerated solvent extraction. Large molecules, such as triglycerides and fatty acids were removed with gel permeation chromatography. The extract was then concentrated and analyzed by comprehensive two dimensional gas chromatography coupled to a time of flight mass spectrometer. The resulting peak table was automatically filtered to identify compound classes such as phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their heterocyclic analogs, chlorinated compounds, brominated compounds, and nitro compounds. While phthalates can be identified by abundances at specific masses, the identification of the remaining classes is based on the identification of the molecular ion and identification of isotope clusters or other spectral characteristics. The technique detected compounds identified and quantified by NIST as well as compounds not identified by NIST in the sample. By comparison with concentrations determined by NIST for the analytes found, the technique is able to identify analytes in these compound classes at concentrations as low as 10–20 ng/g dust. 相似文献

Summary: Nano-sized zinc oxide (ZnO) was chosen as a suitable candidate for the UV-protection of coatings. ZnO-based acrylate coatings were applied to polycarbonate plates, glass plates and impregnated wood. Coated samples were artificially weathered (Xenon test) for at least 1500 hours and studied with regards to their optical and mechanical properties, such as color shifts (yellowing), as well as to changes in brightness, transparency or hydrophobicity. The prepared wood coatings showed reduced yellowing and improved optical properties. 相似文献

Since the first beginnings at the end of the 50th, the powder coating technology has become a perfected alternative in product and procedure respect to liquid paints. Powder coatings are primarily a mixture of synthetic resins, pigments and additives offering economical and ecological advantages compared to other coating systems. The raw materials are mixed, extruded and ground to coating powders. Waxes play an important part as additives in powder coatings. Production, storage and processing as well as the properties of the applied powder coating can be influenced positively by different waxes. Various waxes and their advantages are demonstrated by practical advantages. 相似文献

Ingenious approaches to supramolecular assembly for fabricating smart nanodevices is one of the more significant topics in nanomaterials research. Herein, by using surface quaternized cationic carbon dots (CDots) as the assembly and fluorescence platform, anionic sulfonatocalix[4]arene with modifiable lower and upper rims as a connector, as well as in situ coordination of Tb3+ ions, we propose an elaborate supramolecular assembly strategy for the facile fabrication of a multifunctional nanodevice. The dynamic equilibrium characteristics of the supramolecular interaction can eventually endow this nanodevice with functions of fluorescent ratiometric molecular recognition and as a nano‐logic gate with two output channels. 相似文献
