An in vitro Study on Transition from NO-Hemoglobin to Methemoglobin： Oxygen Effect

The nitrosyl-hemoglobin (HbNO) is the carrier of nitric oxide (NO) which is the important messenger molecule displaying multiple physiologic and pathophysiologic roles. However it is still not clear for the fate of HbNO molecules during the venous-arterial transit. In this letter, the HbNO transition in vitro was studied by using the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra. It was found that HbNO molecules were stable when oxygen did not exist in the system but not stable in aerobic conditions. The absorption spectra further revealed that the methemoglobin (metHb) was the product of HbNO in aerobic environment, showing that the HbNO changed to metHb when there were enough oxygen molecules in the system.     

The formation of a compact polymer film on a copper electrode from benzimidazole solution

The effects of the pretreatment of copper in benzimidazole solutions on the anodic reactions have been observed. The structures of the chemisorbed benzimidazole on copper were studied by using the infrared reflection-absorption technique and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that a compact film of benzimidazolato copper(I) was formed on the copper surface when copper was immersed in a stirred benzimidazole solution and cyclic voltammetry applied. This compact polymer film inhibited anodic oxidation effectively.     

Reversible replication between ordered mesoporous silica and mesoporous carbon

Highly ordered mesoporous silica can be regenerated from a mesoporous carbon CMK-3 that is a negative replica of mesoporous silica SBA-15, indicating reversible replication between carbon and inorganic materials.     

A thin-layer electrochemical detector coated with nafion film for liquid chromatography

The selectivity and analytical application of a thin-layer electrochemical detector comprised of glassy carbon electrode coated with Nafion film were investigated. As a result of the ion-exchange characteristics of the Nafion polymer, the selectivity and stability were improved greatly. The coated electrode has a good response only for cations with the same sensitivity as an uncoated (bare) electrode, but not for anions, and the response for neutral molecules is decreased three-fold. The diffusion of electroactive compounds in Nafion film is discussed based on the results of flow injection experiments. The peak current at the coated electrode was independent of the flow-rate of the mobile phase. Electrode poisoning due to protein adsorption was minimized. The use of 30% methanol or 10% acetonitrile in the mobile phase did not affect the performance of the coated electrode. Various analytes having three kinds of charge state, i.e., anionic, cationic and neutral, were tested. Liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection of ascorbic acid, norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine and uric acid was demonstrated.     

Laser-assisted electron capture by a fast proton from a hydrogen atom

The first Born approximation is used to study the laser-assisted electron capture by a fast proton from a hydrogen atom. The laser modification on differential cross section peaks sharply in the forward direction. With the impact energy increasing, the change in integral cross section becomes notable. The more intense the laser, the greater the cross section is; the lower the frequency, the greater the cross section.

An HPLC and EPR investigation on the stability of DMPO and DMPO spin adducts in vivo

Application of the spin trapping technique in intact animals requires an understanding of the stability and distribution of the spin traps and their spin adducts in vivo. We studied the stability of DMPO in vivo in mice using HPLC and the stability of spin adducts of DMPO by EPR in plasma, whole blood, peritoneal fluid, and homogenized heart tissue of the rat. At 15 minutes after intraperitoneal injection DMPO had similar concentrations in the liver, heart, and blood of the mice and 40% remained in the organs 2 hours after the injection. In contrast, the spin adduct DMPO-OH was short lived, with a half-life of 3.0 minutes in plasma, and was not detectable 1 minute after formation in whole blood and homogenized heart tissue. The carbon centered spin adduct DMPO-CH(OH)CH₃ was more stable, having half-lives of 16, 11, 3.6, and 0.79 minutes in plasma, peritoneal fluid, whole blood, and homogenized heart tissue, respectively. The spin adduct DMPO-SO₃ was sufficiently stable for the adduct to be observed directly from living mice.     

Spontaneous formation of bags with negative surface energy

We demonstrate within the Ginzburg-Landau model of a confining medium that the surface energy associated with the interface between the normal and the confining phases can be negative, and briefly discuss some consequences of this fact.Dedicated to the memory of M. Gmitro.This work was done at the Niels Bohr Institute Copenhagen, and put into its final form at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, of University of Regensburg. I thank both institutes for their generous hospitality and Professors Poul Olesen and Wolfram Weise for discussions.
