Glycoproteins, such as lubricin, and hyaluronic acid (HA) play a prominent role in the boundary lubrication mechanism in diarthrodial joints. Although many studies have tried to elucidate the lubrication mechanisms of articular cartilage, the molecular details of how lubricin and HA interact with cartilage surfaces and mediate their interaction still remain poorly understood. Here we used model substrates, functionalized with self-assembled monolayers terminating in hydroxyl or methyl groups, (1) to determine the effect of surface chemistry on lubricin and HA adsorption using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and (2) to study normal force interactions between these surfaces as a function of lubricin and HA concentration using colloidal probe microscopy. We found that lubricin is amphiphilic and adsorbed strongly onto both methyl- and hydroxyl-terminated surfaces. On hydrophobic surfaces, lubricin likely adopts a compact, looplike conformation in which its hydrophobic domains at the N and C termini serve as surface anchors. On hydrophilic surfaces, lubricin likely adsorbs anywhere along its hydrophilic central domain and adopts, with increasing solution concentration, an extended tail-like conformation. Overall, lubricin develops strong repulsive interactions when compressing two surfaces into contact. Furthermore, upon surface separation, adhesion occurs between the surfaces as a result of molecular bridging and chain disentanglement. This behavior is in contrast to that of HA, which does not adsorb appreciably on either of the model surfaces and does not develop significant repulsive interactions. Adhesive forces, particularly between the hydrophobic surfaces, are large and not appreciably affected by HA. For a mixture of lubricin and HA, we observed slightly larger adsorptions and repulsions than those found for lubricin alone. Our experiments suggest that this interaction depends on unspecific physical rather than chemical interactions between lubricin and HA. We speculate that in mediating interactions at the cartilage surface, an important role of lubricin, possibly in conjunction with HA, is one of providing a protective coating on cartilage surfaces that maintains the contacting surfaces in a sterically repulsive state. 相似文献

Simultaneous preconcentration of copper, nickel, cobalt and lead ions prior to their flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A sensitive and simple method for the simultaneous preconcentration of nutritionally important minerals in real samples has been reported. The method is based on the adsorption of Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+ and Pb2+ on 4-propyl-2-thiouracil (PUT) loaded on activated carbon. The metals on the complexes are eluted using 5 mL 3 M HNO3 in acetone. The influences of the analytical parameters including pH and sample volume were investigated. The effects of matrix ions on the retentions of the analytes were also examined. The recoveries of analytes were generally higher than 95%. The detection limits for Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+ and Pb2+ were 1.6, 1.3, 1.2, 2.3 ng ml(-1), respectively. The method has been successfully applied for these metals content evaluation in some real samples including natural water samples. 相似文献

In this study, a simple, rapid, low cost, sensitive and environmentally friendly technique, supramolecular solvent microextraction (SM-SME) followed by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet has been proposed to extract carbaryl from water samples. Parameters, affecting the SM-SME performance such as the weight of decanoic acid (DeA), volume of tetrahydrofuran (THF), pH and salt concentration, were studied and optimised. The effect of the pH on the extraction efficiency was evaluated by one–factor-at-a-time methodology, but the other variables were optimised by a face-centred cube central composite design methodology. Optimum extraction conditions were obtained: DeA: 70 mg; THF: 650 µL; salt concentration: 10% (w/v) NaCl and pH = 2–4), and the performance of the proposed method was evaluated. Under the optimum conditions, good linearity (1.0–500 µg L?1, r2 = 0.9994) was obtained. Limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.3–1.0 µg L?1, respectively. Also, the recoveries of the carbaryl were obtained in the ranged from 96% to 105%. Finally, proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of the carbaryl in the water samples of farms run-off and rivers and satisfactory results were obtained. 相似文献

In this study, bulk TiO2 nanorods are synthesized by hydrothermal method in order to be used in the dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). These nanorods are annealed at different temperatures and deposited electrophoretically. The influence of post heat treatment has been thoroughly investigated on fabricated DSSCs using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results have revealed that the diameter, size and density of the prepared bulk nanorods are function of annealing temperatures. Optimization of the prepared DSSCs has led to an improved efficiency (ca. 3.82%) under AM 1.5 simulated sunlight. 相似文献

The variations in quantity and quality of essential oils (EOs) from the aerial parts of cultivated Satureja hortensis were determined at different stages of harvesting. The EOs of air-dried samples were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The antimicrobial activity of the EOs was investigated by broth microdilution methods. The amount of EOs (w/w, %) were 2.3, 2.5, 2.0, and 1.8% at floral budding, full flowering, immature fruit, and ripened fruit stages, respectively. gamma-Terpinene was the major compound of the EO at all developmental stages, except the ripened fruit stage when it was replaced by carvacrol (46.4%). The EOs exhibited strong antibacterial activities against the tested bacteria. Moreover, the EOs either inhibited or killed the examined yeasts at concentrations ranging from 0.03-8.0 microL/mL. Considering the wide range of antimicrobial activities of the examined EOs, they might have potential to be used in the management of infective agents. 相似文献

An efficient one‐pot synthesis of 1,2,3‐triazoles via the three‐component coupling reaction between benzyl or alkyl bromides, terminal alkynes, and sodium azide in the presence of catalytic amounts of Cu(OAc)2/MCM‐41 catalyst has been described. This catalyst showed high catalytic activity and 1,4‐regioselectivity for the [3 + 2]Huisgen cycloaddition. This method avoids isolation and handling of organic azides, using water as a solvent, and catalyst recycling makes this synthesis a truly green procedure. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ten compounds belonging to the series of oxygen-deficient perovskite oxides Ca(2)Fe(2-x)Mn(x)O(5) and CaSrFe(2-x)Mn(x)O(5+y), where x = 1/2, 2/3, and 1 and y ≈ 0-0.5, were synthesized and investigated with respect to the ordering of oxygen vacancies on both local and long-range length scales and the effect on crystal structure and magnetic properties. For the set with y ≈ 0 the oxygen vacancies always order in the long-range sense to form the brownmillerite structure containing alternating layers of octahedrally and tetrahedrally coordinated cations. However, there is a change in symmetry from Pnma to Icmm upon substitution of Sr for one Ca for all x, indicating local T(d) chain (vacancy) disorder. In the special case of CaSrFeMnO(5) the neutron diffraction peaks broaden, indicating only short-range structural order on a length scale of ~160 ?. This reveals a systematic progression from Ca(2)FeMnO(5) (Pnma, well-ordered tetrahedral chains) to CaSrFeMnO(5) (Icmm, disordered tetrahedral chains, overall short-range order) to Sr(2)FeMnO(5) (Pm3m, destruction of tetrahedral chains in a long-range sense). Systematic changes occur in the magnetic properties as well. While long-range antiferromagnetic order is preserved, the magnetic transition temperature, T(c), decreases for the same x when Sr substitutes for one Ca. A review of the changes in T(c) for the series Ca(2)Fe(2-x)M(x)O(5), taking into account the tetrahedral/octahedral site preferences for the various M(3+) ions, leads to a partial understanding of the origin of magnetic order in these materials in terms of a layered antiferromagnetic model. While in all cases the preferred magnetic moment direction is (010) at low temperatures, there is a cross over for x = 0.5 to (100) with increasing temperature for both the Ca(2)Fe(2-x)Mn(x)O(5) and the CaSrFe(2-x)Mn(x)O(5) series. For the y > 0 phases, while a brownmillerite ordering of oxygen vacancies is preserved for the Ca(2) phases, a disordered Pm3m cubic perovskite structure is always found when Sr is substituted for one Ca. Long-range magnetic order is also lost, giving way to spin glass or cluster-glass-like behavior below ~50 K. For the x = 0.5 phase, neutron pair distribution function (NPDF) studies show a local structure related to brownmillerite ordering of oxygen vacancies. Neutron diffraction data at 3.8 K show a broad magnetic feature, incommensurate with any multiple of the chemical lattice, and with a correlation length (magnetic domain) of 6.7(4) ?. 相似文献

Photocrosslinkable and biodegradable polymeric networks were formulated based on N‐vinyl pyrrolidone‐poly(ε‐caprolactone fumarate) (NVP/PCLF) compositions for hard tissue engineering applications using a new proton scavenger, propylene oxide (PO). The synthesized macromers were obtained as a white clear paste with no colorization. The obtained macromers were thoroughly characterized using spectroscopic (NMR and FT‐IR) and chromatographic (gel permeation chromatography (GPC)) techniques. Photocrosslinking of the PCLF/NVP compositions was achieved using camphorquinone and dimethyl toluidine (DMT) as a photoinitiator system. The cytocompatibility of the macromers and their corresponding networks were evaluated via MTT assay. Characterization of the networks indicated the importance of NVP content on the network properties. Sol fraction studies indicated that more than 90% of the PCLFs were crosslinked over the studied range of PCLF/NVP compositions; however most of the NVP above a stoichiometric ratio of one NVP to fumerate unit remained unreacted. It was also found that in the concentrations more than 10% NVP, the unreacted NVP monomer neither participated in the crosslinking reaction nor homopolymerized to poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). The elastic modulus (G′) and estimated molecular weight between crosslinks also confirmed that at the higher NVP content the PCLF photocrosslinking was hindered.
