Effects of pressure pulsation on oxygen transfer rate measured by sulfite method

Pressure pulsation (PP) was investigated for its effects on oxygen transfer rate (OTR) measured by sulfite oxidation. By manipulating airflow rate, 0.41–1.2 vvm, and a control valve in a 4-L bioreactor, the frequency of PP was varied at different gas pressures3–15 psig. A mathematical model of OTR was built and compared to experimental data. OTR was also examined at constant gas pressure, 4.5–15.0 psig. The results indicate a good agreement between measurement and model prediction. OTR above 9 psig during PP showed significant enhancement at 25°C. This proves that PP not only affects the elevation of DO level, but also increases the interfacial area and mass transfer coefficient.     

Semi-industrial isolation of salicin and amygdalin from plant extracts using slow rotary counter-current chromatography

Salicin in the bark extract of Salix alba and amygdalin in the fruit extract of Semen armeniacae were each separated by slow rotary counter-current chromatography (SRCCC). The apparatus was equipped with a 40-L column made of 17 mm i.d. convoluted Teflon tubing. A 500g amount of crude extract containing salicin at 13.5% was separated yielding 63.5 g of salicin at 95.3% purity in 20h using methyl tert-butyl ether-l-butanol (1:3) saturated by methanol-water (1:5) as a stationary phase and methanol-water (1:5) saturated by methyl tert-butyl ether-1-butanol (1:3) as a mobile phase. A 400g amount of crude extract containing amygdalin at 55.3% was isolated to yield 221.2g of amygdalin at 94.1% purity in 19h using ethyl acetate-1-butanol (1:2) saturated by water as a stationary phase and water saturated by ethyl acetate-1-butanol (1:2) as a mobile phase. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 50 ml/min. The results show that industrial SRCCC separation of salicin and amygdalin is feasible using a larger column at a higher flow rate of the mobile phase.

Synthesis of Two Novel Rhenium（I） Bipyridyl Photosensitive Dyes

Two novel rhenium(I) 2, 2′-bipyridyl complexes, [(4,4′-di-COOEt-bipy) Re(CO)3 (NCCH3)PF6] and [(4,4′-di-COOEt-bipy) Re (CO)3 (NCS)], a model complex [(4,4′-di-COOEt-bipy) Re (CO)3 (pyridine)PF6], were synthesized. Their ground state electronic spectra and emission spectra were measured in acetonitrile. The MLCT absorption maximum of the complex exhibited a considerable red shift as the ligand changed from pyridine to CNCH3, or SCN.     

低电位下用Ti-MCM-41修饰玻碳电极检测NADH

β-烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸(NADH),俗称还原型辅酶, 是参与酶催化反应中的一种重要的辅酶, 大约有几百种脱氢酶催化底物反应后能引起NADH含量的变化,因此,电化学检测NADH是传感器研究中1个重要的课题.由于在电极上的氧化有较大的过电位并且不可逆[1],如果在高电位下检测 NADH,试样中其他的电活性物质就会干扰测定,并且NADH在高电位氧化过程中会发生副反应而污染电极,使测定重复性变差[2].人们正努力寻找能够降低NADH氧化过电位的新的材料.近来,介孔分子筛子以其独特的结构和催化作用能够为电子传递提供环境以及可以抵抗生物降解而受到关注[3].介孔分子筛具有大的比表面, 高机械、热、化学稳定性, 好的吸附和渗透性,有着适度的维度能够作为一种通用的纳米反应器.这里采用Ti-MCM-41修饰GCE来降低NADH的过电位.实验表明该修饰电极对NADH的催化电流很大,稳定性好,响应速度快,实现了对NADH的低电位检测.     

In vivo Laser-induced Fluorescence Imaging of a Rat Pancreatic Cancer with Pheophorbide-a

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) of pheophorbide-a (Ph-a) was used for imaging of a rat pancreatic tumor. Using a dimensionless function (the ratio of Ph-a fluorescence by bluish autofluorescence), the fluorescence contrasts between excised tumors and their paired pancreas were investigated up to 48 h after a 9 mg kg^-1 Ph-a intravenous administration. Among five tested excitation wavelengths, 355 and 610 nm excitations gave the best distinctive contrasts, both 48 h after dye injection. The LIF imaging of six intrapancreatic tumors and six healthy pancreas was carried out in vivo using two laser excitations: 355 nm (Nd:YAG + tripling) for bluish autofluorescence and 610 nm (rhodamine 6G dye) for reddish autofluorescence and dye emission. Images were recorded through bandpass filters at 470 and 640 nm (autofluorescence) and at 680 nm (dye + autofluorescence) with an intensified charged-coupled device camera. Autofluorescence as Ph-a fluorescence images did not allow accurate LIF diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma. An image processing, including for each pixel a computed division of Ph-a fluorescence (after subtraction of reddish autofluorescence) by bluish autofluorescence intensity generated poorly contrasted tumor images in five of six and false tumor localization in one of three of the tumor-bearing pancreas. A fitting of the digital 640 nm autofluorescence up to the mean 680 nm fluorescence intensity in pancreas prior to subtraction allowed a safe diagnosis to be made with well-contrasted tumor images. To assess automation ability of the processing, a same fitting coefficient (mean of individual values) was applied. In this way, false-negative (one of six) and false-positive (two of six) images were present in tumor-bearing animals as false-positive in one-half of the controls. A successful standardized procedure was then applied with a normalization of 640 and 680 nm pancreas intensities to a same set threshold prior processing. In opposition to thin-layered hollow organs, such as bronchial tube or digestive tract, LIF imaging of carcinoma inserted in a compact organ is exhausting. The use of a dye excitable in the red wavelength range (610 nm for Ph-a) may partly solve this problem, rendering LIF imaging more accurate and potentially automated.     

Capillary electrophoresis of cardiolipin with on-line dye interaction and spectrophotometric detection

Cardiolipin is an important phospholipid present in the mitochondrial inner membrane. It plays a key function in mitochondrial respiration by interacting with many enzymes or cofactors related to oxidative phosphorylation complexes. We have determined the concentration of cardiolipin using on-line 10-N-nonyl acridine orange (NAO) dye interaction capillary electrophoresis (CE) and spectrophotometric detection with a sample throughput of 3 min. In addition to the presence of 0.1 mM NAO, the background electrolyte (BGE) composition has been set at 80% methanol-10% acetonitrile-10% H(2)O (all v/v) to provide both good solubility and the maximum absorbance enhancement at 497 nm for the NAO-cardiolipin complex as compared to NAO alone. Sample consumption for each injection is about 57 nL. A calibration curve is established from 0.5 microM to 0.1 mM with R (2) = 0.9912 with a detection limit of 0.05 microM for cardiolipin. In a blind study, actual mitochondrial cell membrane samples in the microL range before or after UV light exposure were analyzed using the CE method. Cardiolipin concentration decreased in the different parts of the membrane sample upon UV photolysis of the cells. Support for the theory that UV light can induce cardiolipin translocation from the inner membrane (IM) to the outer membrane (OM) was indicated by a significant percentage increase of cardiolipin (as measured by the cardiolipin in the OM as compared to the sum total in the OM and IM) from 30.7 +/- 2.4% before UV light photolysis to 38.3 +/- 2.2% after UV irradiation.
