Solid state radiation chemistry is briefly reviewed with attention to some important features that distinguish it from liquid state radiation chemistry: (i) reactions of primary products of radiolysis in the solid state can proceed via a path different than that of the same material in liquid phase (example: very slow reaction of dry electron with N2O); (ii) “molecular products” of radiolysis appear in any aqueous system, also in the solid state due to the always identical physical mechanism of heterogenous energy deposition; (iii) there are basic differences in transportation of products of radiolysis, transient and stable, in solid matrices (example: CH3C√HCO−2 decay in liquid and solid state); (iv) specific behaviour of systems of high macro- but low micro-viscosity (example: gels); (v), independence of radiolysis products formation in single and multi-ionization spurs, especially at higher LET values (example: crystalline alanine); (vi) quantitative determination of the yield of multi-ionization spurs in alanine during low LET irradiation shows similar participation of single- and multi-ionization spurs as in water. 相似文献

The systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) is a combinatorial oligonucleotide library-based in vitro selection approach in which DNA or RNA molecules are selected by their ability to bind their targets with high affinity and specificity, comparable to those of antibodies. Nucleic acids with high affinity for their targets have been selected against a wide variety of compounds, from small molecules, such as ATP, to membrane proteins and even whole organisms. Recently, the use of the SELEX technique was extended to isolate oligonucleotide ligands, also known as aptamers, for a wide range of proteins of importance for therapy and diagnostics, such as growth factors and cell surface antigens. The number of aptamers generated as inhibitors of various target proteins has increased following automatization of the SELEX process. Their diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy can be enhanced by introducing chemical modifications into the oligonucleotides to provide resistance against enzymatic degradation in body fluids. Several aptamers are currently being tested in preclinical and clinical trials, and aptamers are in the process of becoming a new class of therapeutic agents. Recently, the anti-VEGF aptamer pegaptanib received FDA approval for treatment of human ocular vascular disease. 相似文献

Biomarkers are an increasingly important constituent of the drug development process, offering the potential of increased efficiency through reduced compound attrition and earlier proof of mechanism and/or efficacy. Assays developed for compound screening that can be directly translated for clinical trials are especially valuable, but their successful adoption requires a careful balance between assay performance and implementation costs. One such ‘fit‐for‐purpose’ biomarker assay, the indirect measurement of pharmacological modulation of sphingolipid biosynthesis and disposition, is presented here. Among spingolipids, numerous ceramide species are readily detectable in different lipoprotein fractions of mammalian plasma, but their parallel quantification can be prohibitively expensive and time consuming. Ceramides differ in their fatty acid moiety, which is readily removed by hydrolysis, yielding a common sphingosine derivative, the measurement of which serves as an indicator of total ceramide. When followed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) for detection, robust analyte quantification becomes relatively straightforward. The practical utility of a method developed to be fit for the purpose of rapidly and quantitatively measuring treatment‐induced variations in total ceramide from hamster plasma and individual lipoprotein fractions is described. With a linear calibration range from 0.003 to 33.4 μm sphingosine, precision and accuracy error in plasma‐based quality controls spiked with ceramides was less than 15%. The specificity of the assay for ceramides was also assessed. The simplicity of the method would allow for its potential translation to other preclinical species, as well as for clinical applications in later‐stage drug development.

The human gut microbiota is a functioning endocrine organ and stands at the intersection between dietary components and health or disease. There are very many microbial metabolites with numerous structures and functions arising from the gut microbial fermentation of foods and become signals for biological communication in the human body. These small molecules can be absorbed and delivered to distant organs through the circulatory system to build the gut–systemic axis. The gut microbial metabolomes are thus believed to play important roles in regulating cardiometabolic health and provide opportunities in mechanistic research and new drug discovery. Measurement of these novel microbial metabolites in clinical samples may serve as a tool for investigating disease biomarkers. In the past decade, the development of untargeted and targeted metabolomics approaches using NMR, LC/MS, and GC/MS has contributed to the exploration of gut microbial metabolomes in cardiometabolic health and disease. Some important targets are currently being translated into clinical applications. In this review article, we introduce an oral carnitine challenge test developed as an example to demonstrate the potential applications in personalized nutrition based on the function of gut microbiota. It is a method taking the gut microbiota as a bioreactor and provides fermentable materials as inputs and measures the outputs of targeted microbial byproducts in the blood or urine. This challenge test may be extended to measure metabolites from microbial fermentation related to other endocrinological or inflammatory diseases. We review current gut metabolome research approaches and propose a gut microbial functional measurement using a challenge test. We suggest that the maturation in measuring gut microbial metabolites may provide an important piece to complete the puzzle of precision medicine. 相似文献

Colloidal aphrons are multi-layered stable bubbles (CGAs) or droplets (CLAs), surrounded by a thin surfactant film. The small size of the aphrons creates a system with a high interfacial area which can be pumped like water without collapsing. The high stability of colloidal aphrons due to a thin soapy shell surrounding the core, and high interfacial area make them of interest in many processes such as mineral processing, protein recovery, drilling fluids, separation of organic dyes from waste water, predispersed solvent extraction of dilute streams, clarification and purification of suspensions, soil remediation, material synthesis and immobilization of enzymes. This article aims to provide a comprehensive database in generation, characterization and applications of colloidal gas and liquid aphrons from more than 140 published works so far. The article also reports scale up, industrial applications, technical limitation regarding aphrons application and important future research scopes. 相似文献

We describe a multiresolution solver for the all-electron local density approximation Kohn-Sham equations for general polyatomic molecules. The resulting solutions are obtained to a user-specified precision and the computational cost of applying all operators scales linearly with the number of parameters. The construction and use of separated forms for operators (here, the Green's functions for the Poisson and bound-state Helmholtz equations) enable practical computation in three and higher dimensions. Initial applications include the alkali-earth atoms down to strontium and the water and benzene molecules. 相似文献

The biologically important process of endogenous synthesis of vitamin D under UV solar irradiation is widespread in the biosphere and inherent to most animals and plants. A new method of biological dosimetry of UV radiation based on an in vitro model of vitamin D synthesis ('D-dosimeter') is discussed. Unlike the vast majority of biodosimeters, the action of which depends on the UV sensitivity of DNA and thus reflects damaging effects of UV radiation, the process of vitamin D synthesis is beneficial by its nature. To date, the complex network of photo- and thermoreactions of vitamin D synthesis in vitro is well understood, and an adequate mathematical model is available, ensuring a link between biological and physical units. Original spectral analysis of the multicomponent photoisomer mixture has been specially designed to provide the most effective use of the D-dosimeter in situ. Spectral selectivity (exceptional sensitivity of certain parameters to the spectral composition of UV radiation) extends the usefulness of the method. 相似文献

Computer-assisted methods for improving research and production in a food-flavour company are described. Methods of experimental design are used in planning experiments. Special programs are used for identification of components through correlation of mass spectra and gas chromatographic retention indices, and for the design of new synthetic routes. In flavour creation, a data base containing qualitative and quantitative information on flavours, relevant legislation and organoleptic properties of components, can be searched selectively in attempts to improve flavours and to identify better combinations of substances. A computer-assisted production system is described which ensures complete qualitative and quantitative control. 相似文献

Volatile metabolites in exhaled air have promising potential as diagnostic biomarkers. However, the combination of low mass, similar chemical composition, and low concentrations introduces the challenge of sorting the data to identify markers of value. In this paper, we report the development of pyAIR, a software tool for searching for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) markers in multi-group datasets, tailored for Thermal-Desorption Gas-Chromatography High Resolution Mass-Spectrometry (TD-GC-HRMS) output. pyAIR aligns the compounds between samples by spectral similarity coupled with retention times (RT), and statistically compares the groups for compounds that differ by intensity. This workflow was successfully tested and evaluated on gaseous samples spiked with 27 model VOCs at six concentrations, divided into three groups, down to 0.3 nL/L. All analytes were correctly detected and aligned. More than 80% were found to be significant markers with a p-value < 0.05; several were classified as possibly significant markers (p-value < 0.1), while a few were removed due to background level. In all group comparisons, low rates of false markers were found. These results showed the potential of pyAIR in the field of trace-level breathomics, with the capability to differentially examine several groups, such as stages of illness. 相似文献

Compounds of the silsesquioxane type are attractive material precursors. High molecular weights and well-defined structures predestine them to create ceramics with a controlled composition at the molecular level. New molecular precursors of ceramic materials with the ratio of Si:Ge = 7:1 atoms were obtained. The influence of organic substituents on the thermal decomposition processes of germasilsesquioxanes was investigated. Some of the structures obtained are characterized by a high non-volatile residue after the thermal decomposition process. The introduction of the germanium atom to the structure of the silsesquioxane molecular cage reduces the thermal stability of the obtained structures. 相似文献

Electrical activity of electrogenic cells in neuronal and cardiac tissue can be recorded by means of microelectrode arrays (MEAs) that offer the unique possibility for non-invasive extracellular recording from as many as 60 sites simultaneously. Since its introduction 30 years ago, the technology and the related culture methods for electrophysiological cell and tissue assays have been continually improved and have found their way into many academic and industrial laboratories. Currently, this technology is attracting increased interest owing to the industrial need to screen selected compounds against ion channel targets in their native environment at organic, cellular, and sub-cellular level.As the MEA technology can be applied to any electrogenic tissue (i.e., central and peripheral neurons, heart cells, and muscle cells), the MEA biosensor is an ideal in vitro system to monitor both acute and chronic effects of drugs and toxins and to perform functional studies under physiological or induced pathophysiological conditions that mimic in vivo damages. By recording the electrical response of various locations on a tissue, a spatial map of drug effects at different sites can be generated, providing important clues about a drug's specificity.In this survey, examples of MEA biosensor applications are described that have been developed for drug screening and discovery and safety pharmacology in the field of cardiac and neural research. Additionally, biophysical basics of recording and concepts for analysis of extracellular electrical signals are presented.Abbreviations AP action potential - DG dentate gyrus - EC entorhinal cortex - ECG electrocardiogram - ERG electroretinogram - LFP local field potentials - MEA microelectrode array - PSTH peri-stimulus–time histogram - SNR signal-to-noise ratio 相似文献
