Tattooing is a ubiquitous body modification involving the injection of ink and/or dye pigments into the dermis. Biosensors in the form of tattoos can be used to monitor metabolites in interstitial fluid. Here, minimally invasive, injectable dermal biosensors were developed for measuring pH, glucose, and albumin concentrations. The dermal pH sensor was based on methyl red, bromothymol blue, and phenolphthalein, which responded to a pH range from 5.0 to 9.0. The dermal glucose sensor consisted of glucose oxidase, 3,3′,5,5′‐tetramethylbenzidine, and peroxidase that detected concentrations up to 50.0 mmol L?1. The dermal albumin sensor consisted of 3′,3′′,5′,5′′‐tetrachlorophenol‐3,4,5,6‐tetrabromosulfophthalein to measure concentrations up to 5.0 g L?1. The sensors were multiplexed in ex vivo skin tissue and quantitative readouts were obtained using a smartphone camera. These sensors can be used to manage of acid–base homeostasis, diabetes, and liver failure in point‐of‐care settings. 相似文献
The title piperidines were prepared by (a) methanolysis of the corresponding nitriles and (b) addition of p-chlorothiophenol to the appropriate tetrahydropyridines. Three esters were obtained with stereochemistry assigned by nmr analysis: 2 [3(a) SAr, 4(e) CO2Me], 5 [4(e) SAr, 3(e) CO2Me], 6 [4(a) SAr, 3(e) CO2Me]. Compounds 2 and 6 cyclized in 70% sulfuric acid. The product structures were established by X-ray crystallography and, surprisingly, both had trans-fused rings. Compound 5 , however, did not cyclize but gave 4-(methylthio)chlorobenzene as the sole isolated product. 相似文献
In this paper we study an existence and the approximation of the solution of the elliptic variational inequality from an abstract axiomatic point of view. We discuss convergence results and give an error estimate for the difference of the two solutions in an appropriate norm. Also, we present some computational results by using fixed point method. 相似文献
The lifetimes and the magnetic moments of the two excited62Cu states at 40.84 and 390.19 keV are investigated by time differential perturbed angular distribution measurements of the delayedγ-rays following the nuclear reactions61Ni(d, n) and62Ni(p, n). The results are:τ=6.7±0.5 nsec,μ=1.32±0.03 n. m. for the 2+ state at 40.84 keV, andτ=16.0±0.3 nsec,μ=2.00±0.01 n. m. for the 3+ state at 390.19 keV. 相似文献
Three new hydrazo-bridged diamines, 4,4′-bis [4-(4-aminophenyloxy) phenylhydrazyl] biphenyl (BPD-2), 4,4′-bis [4-(4-aminophenyloxy) phenylhydrazyl] biphenyl ether (SPD-2) and 4,4-bis [4-(4-aminophenyloxy) phenyl] hydrazine (APD-2), were synthesized by the reduction of three azo-diols, 4,4′-bis (4-azo-1-hydroxyphenyl) biphenyl (BPD), 4,4′-bis (4-azo-1-hydroxyphenyl) biphenyl ether (SPD) and azo-4-hydroxybenzene (APD), and polymerized with pyromellitic dianhydride (PM), 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BP) and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PR) either by one-step solution polymerization or by two-step procedure which includes ring-opening polyaddition to give poly(amic acid) followed by cyclic dehydration to polyimide. The monomers and polyimides were characterized by their elemental analyses, FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Glass transition temperatures of the polymers are quite high (175-310 °C), characteristic of polyimides. The decomposition temperatures for 10% weight loss fall in the range of 280-575 °C in nitrogen. Activation energies of pyrolysis for each of the polymers calculated from Horowitz and Metzger's method are also high (52.54-95.28 kJ mol−1). The inherent viscosities of the polyimides at a concentration of 0.5 g/dl in DMF range from 0.94 to 1.93 dl/g. 相似文献
The self-assembly, the molecular dynamics, and the kinetics of structure formation are studied in dipole-functionalized hexabenzocoronene (HBC) derivatives. Dipole substitution destabilizes the columnar crystalline phase except for the dimethoxy- and monoethynyl-substituted HBCs that undergo a reversible transformation to the crystalline phase. The disk dynamics are studied by dielectric spectroscopy and site-specific NMR techniques that provide both the time-scale and geometry of motion. Application of pressure results in the thermodynamic phase diagram that shows increasing stability of the crystalline phase at elevated pressures. Long-lived metastability was found during the transformation between the two phases. These results suggest new thermodynamic and kinetic pathways that favor the phase with the highest charge carrier mobility. 相似文献
Monoclonal antibody (MAb) variants differing by one or two C-terminal lysine residues can be separated by cation-exchange chromatography due to the difference in their charge distribution. The adsorption of the three MAb variants on a weak cation-exchange resin was characterized using directly the raw mixture in spite of the presence of some impurities. The effects of both, pH and eluent salt concentration, on the adsorption isotherm were investigated. Under certain experimental conditions distorted peak shapes and even peak doubling for single variant injections were obtained, in addition to unexpectedly long retention times. These observations were explained based on equilibrium theory. The separation of the MAb variants was designed for an isocratic and a linear salt gradient operation. The corresponding optimal values of pH and salt concentration were determined. The use of salt gradients not only allows reducing the process time and increasing enrichment of the variants, but also leads to some loss in purity. A baseline separation could be obtained under isocratic and strongly adsorbing conditions at pH 6.3. A lumped kinetic model and a procedure for estimating the corresponding parameters were developed and validated by comparison with experimental elution chromatograms in a wide range of operating conditions. 相似文献
Wound healing is a complex process which requires an appropriate environment for quick healing. Recently, biodegradable hydrogel-based wound dressings have been seen to have high potential owing to their biodegradability and hydrated molecular structure. In this work, a novel biodegradable composite of sodium alginate hydrogel with wool needle-punched nonwoven fabric was produced for wound dressing by sol–gel technique. The wool nonwoven was dipped in the sodium alginate-water solution and then soaked in calcium chloride solution which resulted in hydrogel formation. FTIR analysis and SEM images confirm the presence of alginate hydrogel inside the needle-punched wool nonwoven fabric. The wound exudate absorbing capacity of hydrogel based wool nonwoven was increased 30 times as compared to pure wool nonwoven. Moreover, the tensile strength and moisture management properties of hydrogel based nonwoven were also enhanced. The unique combination of alginate hydrogel with biocompatible wool nonwoven fabric provides moist environment and can help in cell proliferation during wound healing process.
