SERS Study of Co-doped TiO2 Nanoparticles

Single-phase Co-doped TiO₂(Co_xTi_1-xO₂) nanoparticles(NPs) synthesized via a simple sol-hydrothermal method were used as surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) substrates. Interestingly, it was found that SERS signals were enhanced greatly compared to those of pure TiO₂ nanoparticles when an amount of Co²⁺ ions were doped into the TiO₂ lattice. Detailed results clearly show that Co element as Co²⁺ was incorporated into the TiO₂ lattice and the defects were created due to the substitution of Co²⁺ ions for the Ti⁴⁺ ions. The Co²⁺ doping increases the defect concentration of Co_xTi_1-xO₂ NPs. An amount of defects is beneficial to the charge-transfer so as to increase the SERS activities. A possible mechanism of charge-transfer from Co_xTi_1-xO₂ NPs to molecules was then briefly discussed.     

Negative-pressure wound therapy induces endothelial progenitor cell mobilization in diabetic patients with foot infection or skin defects

Non healing chronic wounds are difficult to treat in patients with diabetes and can result in severe medical problems for these patients and for society. Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been adopted to treat intractable chronic wounds and has been reported to be effective. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of this treatment have not been elucidated. To assess the vasculogenic effect of NPWT, we evaluated the systemic mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) during NPWT. Twenty-two of 29 consecutive patients who presented at the clinic of Seoul National Universty Hospital between December 2009 and November 2010 who underwent NPWT for diabetic foot infections or skin ulcers were included in this study. Peripheral blood samples were taken before NPWT (pre-NPWT) and 7–14 days after the initiation of NPWT (during-NPWT). Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis showed that the number of cells in EPC-enriched fractions increased after NPWT, and the numbers of EPC colony forming units (CFUs) significantly increased during NPWT. We believe that NPWT is useful for treating patients with diabetic foot infections and skin ulcers, especially when these conditions are accompanied by peripheral arterial insufficiency. The systemic mobilization of EPCs during NPWT may be a mechanism for healing intractable wounds in diabetic patients with foot infections or skin defects via the formation of increased granulation tissue with numerous small blood vessels.

增强型绿色荧光蛋白(EGFP)是生物领域常用的标记物。在前期成功克隆表达EGFP的基础上,本实验建立了两步分离纯化EGFP的色谱方法,并验证其分离纯化效果,检验EGFP的活性。首先用金属螯合亲和色谱柱HisTrap HP对EGFP的重组菌体破碎上清液进行初步分离,再用葡聚糖凝胶排阻色谱柱Sephadex G-10 HR对其进行脱盐纯化。采用丙烯葡聚糖凝胶排阻色谱柱Sephacryl S-300 HR和十二烷基磺酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)检测分离纯化后的EGFP纯度。最后通过荧光分光检测器和非变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(Native-PAGE)验证分离纯化后的EGFP是否具有荧光活性。结果表明该方法可以简便快速地分离纯化EGFP,纯度超过98%,同时保持了EGFP的荧光活性。

金在铱内敏的直接正像乳剂中的作用

制备依内敏的AgBr立方体乳剂,乳剂被二氧化硫脲和三氯化金灰化。实验表明:有金存在时灰化乳剂,灰化中心优先在颗粒表面形成;金不存在时,则灰化中心优先在颗粒内部形成。用Na₁S₂O₃溶液刻蚀乳剂,得到了灰化中心在乳剂颗粒体相中的分布曲线。当二氧化硫脲量小,加金灰化时,灰化中心分布在颗粒表面和次表面;当二氧化硫脲量大,加金灰化时,灰化中心分布在颗粒体相中,但由表到里,灰化中心越来越少;当二氧化硫脲量大,不加金灰化时,灰化中心主要分布在颗粒中层部分。对加金灰化的乳剂来说,由于颗粒内部没有灰化中心竞争光生空穴,有大量的光生空穴破坏颗粒表面的灰化中心,因而可以获得高感直接正像乳剂。
