Urocanic Acid Concentration and Photoisomerization in Caucasian Skin Phototypes

Abstract— To investigate the relationship between erythemal sensitivity of the skin to U V radiation and epidermal urocanic acid (UCA) concentration, 45 healthy volunteers of anamnestic skin phototypes (ASP) I-IV were studied. In 16 of the subjects, we analyzed UCA photoisomerization after graded UVB exposures. The median and mean total UCA concentration in unirradiated skin was 22.4 and 35.3 nmol/cm², and no statistically significant difference in total UCA concentrations was detectable either between ASP I through II and III through IV or between the phototested skin type (PSP) groups 1 through 2 and 3 through 4. The relative amount of the cis -isomer varied between 3 and 35%, with median and mean values of 7 and 12%, respectively. No statistically significant difference in absolute or relative cis -UCA concentrations was detectable between ASP I through II and III through IV, but a significantly lower absolute ( P < 0.009) and relative ( P < 0.002) cis -UCA concentration in unirradiated skin was recorded in PSP groups 1 through 2, compared to types 3 through 4. In all tested subjects, an erythemally weighted dose of 1 mj/cm²sufficed to cause trans - to cis -UCA isomerization. When comparing photosensitive (skin phototype I) and phototolerant (phototypes III and IV) individuals, who were irradiated with a reference 5 mJ/cm²UV dose or with fractions of 0.1-1.0 of their individual minimal erythema dose values, no skin phototype-dependent difference in ability to photoisomerize was discernible.     

Resistive-pulse detection of multilamellar liposomes

The resistive-pulse method was used to monitor the pressure-driven translocation of multilamellar liposomes with radii between 190 and 450 nm through a single conical nanopore embedded in a glass membrane. Liposomes (0% and 5% 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-l-serine (sodium salt) in 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine or 0%, 5%, and 9% 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho(1'-rac-glycerol) (sodium salt) in 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) were prepared by extrusion through a polycarbonate membrane. Liposome translocation through a glass nanopore was studied as a function of nanopore size and the temperature relative to the lipid bilayer transition temperature, T(c). All translocation events through pores larger than the liposome, regardless of temperature, show translocation times between 30 and 300 μs and current pulse heights between 0.2% and 15% from the open pore baseline. However, liposomes at temperatures below the T(c) were captured at the pore orifice when translocation was attempted through pores of smaller dimensions, but squeezed through the same pores when the temperature was raised above T(c). The results provide insights into the deformation and translocation of individual liposomes through a porous material.     

On the nature of antimicrobial activity: a model for protegrin-1 pores

We conducted over 150 ns of simulation of a protegrin-1 octamer pore in a lipid bilayer composed of palmitoyloleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (POPE) and palmitoyloleoyl-phosphatidylglycerol (POPG) lipids mimicking the inner membrane of a bacterial cell. The simulations improve on a model of a pore proposed from recent NMR experiments and provide a coherent understanding of the molecular mechanism of antimicrobial activity. Although lipids tilt somewhat toward the peptides, the simulated protegrin-1 pore more closely follows the barrel-stave model than the toroidal-pore model. The movement of ions is investigated through the pore. The pore selectively allows negatively charged chloride ions to pass through at an average rate of one ion every two nanoseconds. Only two events are observed of sodium ions crossing through the pore. The potential of mean force is calculated for the water and both ion types. It is determined that the chloride ions move through the pore with ease, similarly to the water molecules with the exception of a zone of restricted movement midway through the pore. In bacteria, ions moving through the pore will compromise the integrity of the transmembrane potential. Without the transmembrane potential as a countermeasure, water will readily flow inside the higher osmolality cytoplasm. We determine that the diffusivity of water through a single PG-1 pore is sufficient to cause fast cell death by osmotic lysis.     

Mechanistic interpretation of photochemical thallimetric oxidations catalysed by chloride and bromide ions

The thallimetric oxidation of carboxylic acids appears to proceed through free radical and intermediate activated complex mechanisms. The thermal and photochemical uncatalysed oxidation reactions appear to proceed through the formation of an intermediate metal-substrate complex that eventually decomposes to give the products. However, photochemical oxidation in the presence of chloride and bromide ions appears to proceed through a two-electron step via a halo bridge mechanism. In the presence of bromide at 2–3 times the concentration of thallium(III), the photochemical reduction mainly proceeds through a free radical mechanism involving a one-electron step via the formation of thallium(II) species. The nature and concentration of halide ions appear to be critical in deciding the path of the reaction.     

Three-compartment bipolar membrane electrodialysis for splitting of sodium formate into formic acid and sodium hydroxide: Role of diffusion of molecular acid

Bipolar membrane electrodialysis is used in a three-compartment configuration to regenerate formic acid and sodium hydroxide from sodium formate. A previous study showed that the diffusion of molecular formic acid induces the loss of acid current efficiency. The present study shows the following results: the diffusion of molecular formic acid through the bipolar membrane explains quantitatively the presence of sodium formate in the sodium hydroxide solution. The loss of acid current efficiency is only due to diffusion of molecular acid through both anion-exchange and bipolar membranes. The sodium hydroxide current efficiency is determined by acid diffusion through the bipolar membrane and OH⁻ leakage through the cation-exchange membrane. The flux of acid diffusion through the membranes is proportional to acid concentration and depends on sodium hydroxide concentration for bipolar membrane and on sodium formate concentration for anion-exchange membrane. The flux rates vary with temperature.     

Gelatin and the Tyndall Effect: A Colorful and Tasty Demonstration

This demonstration is a safe and nontoxic example of the Tyndall effect that utilizes common, even edible, materials. A glass of gelatin and a laser pointer are used to illustrate the Tyndall effect. Laser light is scattered when it is shone through a colloidal gelatin dispersion. At least two glasses of gelatin are aligned so that students can see scattering through the first glass, then a lower overall intensity of scattered light through the second glass. Variations of the demonstration are presented, such as shining the laser light through a glass of salt water to show the effect as the salt dissolves.     

Debundling of SWCNTs through a simple intercalation technique

An attempt was made to debundle single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundle through intercalation techniques as in exfoliation of graphite. For this, SWCNT paper and lithium metal foil were simply short-circuited through electrolytes including lithium ions, and cathodic intercalation of lithium ions together with solvent molecules between the tubes that was expected to enlarge the spaces. It was found that the SWCNT paper could expand greatly through this technique using dimethyl sulfoxide electrolyte, and evidence of the intercalation reaction was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry. The paper after the debundling had some gaps between individual tubes in the bundles in the TEM picture, which were created through the present intercalation technique without any damage to the tubes themselves.     

Calculation of skin permeability coefficient for ionized and unionized species of indomethacin.

The contribution of ionized and unionized species to the overall permeation of weak electrolytes through the skin was investigated to determine the effect of pH in the vehicle on the permeability of indomethacin (IDM), as a model drug, through hairless rat skin. The permeability of IDM through polydimethylsiloxane (silicone) and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) membranes which may reflect lipid and aqueous pathway, respectively, was also measured for comparison. As the pH in the vehicle increased, there was an exponential increase in the skin permeation rate of IDM. The permeation rate of IDM through the silicone membrane was constant independent of pH, whereas that through the pHEMA membrane increased with increasing pH, similar to the skin permeation. The permeability coefficients of ionized and unionized species through the skin estimated using the skin permeation rates and solubilities of IDM at various pHs were 1.50 x 10(-7) and 2.79 x 10(-5) cm/s, respectively. These results indicated that the permeation of ionized species greatly contributed to the total permeation of IDM at higher pH, and that the total permeation rate of IDM was determined by the permeation of unionized species at lower pH. These contributions depend on the pH and pKa values and the ratio of permeability coefficient of each species. It was also confirmed that the skin has at least two kinds of permeation pathways and these two species permeate through a different pathway.     

Synthesis of sulfur-containing heterocycles through oxidative carbon-hydrogen bond functionalization

Vinyl sulfides react rapidly and efficiently with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) to form α,β-unsaturated thiocarbenium ions through oxidative carbon-hydrogen bond cleavage. These electrophiles couple with appended π-nucleophiles to yield sulfur-containing heterocycles through carbon-carbon bond formation. Several nucleophiles are compatible with the procedure, and the reactions generally proceed through readily predictable transition states.     

He+C60↔(He@C60)的反应势垒研究

The reaction barriers of (He+C60(He＠60)) have been calculated by the quantum-chemical method EHMO/ASED in the following four paths: (1) penetrate through the pentagon on the C60 cage; (2) penetrate through the hexagon on the C60 cage,(3) penetrate through the short bond; (4) penetrate through the long bond. Corresponding to each path, there are two choices: (a) while He penetrate C60 cage, the distances of the C’s which are the most adjacent to He are changed with a planar extension and a concerned window is formed; (b) while He penetrate C60 cage, the distances of the C’s which are the most adjacent to He are changed with a spherical extension and a concerned window is formed. The results are given in Figs. 1-2 and Tables 1-2. It is shown that the reaction through path(4) with choice (a) has the least reaction barrier, being optimum. At that case, a window of 9-membered ring is formed. Because the window extension of C6H6 is more free than that of C60, the barrier of He penetrating through C6H6 will be lower than that of He penetrating through C60.     

Harnessing Thin‐Film Continuous‐Flow Assembly Lines

Inspired by nature's ability to construct complex molecules through sequential synthetic transformations, an assembly line synthesis of α‐aminophosphonates has been developed. In this approach, simple starting materials are continuously fed through a thin‐film reactor where the intermediates accrue molecular complexity as they progress through the flow system. Flow chemistry allows rapid multistep transformations to occur via reaction compartmentalization, an approach not amenable to using conventional flasks. Thin film processing can also access facile in situ solvent exchange to drive reaction efficiency, and through this method, α‐aminophosphonate synthesis requires only 443 s residence time to produce 3.22 g h^?1. Assembly‐line synthesis allows unprecedented reaction flexibility and processing efficiency.

A new reactive postion at the upper rim of inherently chiral resorcin[4]arenes was introduced through cleavage of an up to now unreactive methoxy group through the demethylating reagent 9-I-9-BBN. Conservation of the inherent chirality was warranted through the use of a protecting group at the free phenol group.

Surface processes in hydrogen permeation through metal membranes

The phenomenon of hydrogen permeation through metals is considered as a complex of interphase and diffusion processes. Basic principles of application of the hydrogen permeation technique to studies of various stages of hydrogen interaction with metals are formulated. An analysis is made of possible errors of the permeation technique when used to measure the characteristics of hydrogen diffusion through metals originating from the finite rate of the interphase processes. The permeation of nonequilibrium and corrosion-produced hydrogen through metal membranes, and the hydrogen permeability of multilayer systems are considered.     

A simplified model for the coupled transport of metal ions through hollow-fiber supported liquid membranes

This paper describes a simplified model for the carrier-facilitated transport of metal ions through hollow-fiber supported liquid membranes, HFSLM. The model leads to approximate and simple equations describing the concentration variations expected when an aqueous feed solution is flowing through the lumens of a HFSLM module. The equations incorporate simple and independently measurable parameters and apply to two situations: (a) a once-through mode, i.e., the feed solution passes only once through the module, and (b) a recycling mode, i.e., the feed solution is continuously recirculated through the module. The equations have been tested by measuring the transport of Cu²⁺ ions through microporous polypropylene hollow fibers containing a 0.3 F solution of bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid in n-dodecane. HFSLM modules containing a variable number of fibers, fibers of different lengths and operated at different linear flow velocities have been used.     

trans-Sodium crocetinate and diffusion enhancement

trans-Sodium crocetinate (TSC) increases the diffusion coefficient of glucose through water by about 25-30%. This is the same percentage increase that TSC causes in the diffusivity of oxygen through water. TSC is also found to induce order in the surrounding water structure through increased hydrogen bonding of the water molecules, and molecular simulations suggest that the increase in diffusivity occurs only in these ordered regions.     

Flow‐through immobilized enzyme reactors based on monoliths: II. Kinetics study and application

In the last decade, the application of monolithic materials has rapidly expanded to the realization of flow‐through bioconversion processes. Up to these days, different classes of enzymes such as hydrolases, lyases, and oxidoreductases have been immobilized on organic, inorganic, or hybrid monolithic materials to prepare the effective flow‐through enzymes reactors for application in proteomics, biotechnology, pharmaceutics, organic synthesis, and biosensoring. Current review describes the results of kinetic study and specialties of flow‐through immobilized enzyme reactors based on the existing monolithic materials.     

Electron beam induced polymerisation of MMA in the presence of rubber: a novel process to produce tough materials

PMMA-rubber blends are formed through electron beam induced in situ polymerisation. The influence of rubber nature and irradiation dose has been investigated through mechanical tensile tests, solubility analysis and the results were related to material structure investigated through atomic force microscopy.Some blend formulations present a significant increase of ductility with respect to pure PMMA, without a dramatic decrease of modulus, yield stress and stress at break values. The results are interpreted on the basis of the criterion of the critical inter-particle thickness.
