Cell detection based on protein array using modified glass slides

A protein array for cell detection was fabricated by spotting different antibodies on modified glass slides. Glass slides were modified to allow antibodies to be immobilized on it and to selectively bind antigens. Antibodies were specially selected with the cells to be detected as targets, which permitted target cells in samples to bind specifically to the array with little nonspecific binding. Results can be obtained by directly putting the samples onto the array for 1 h or a little longer to let the cells specifically interact with the antibodies. After washing the unbound samples away, images were observed with a microscope and captured with a CCD camera. The assessment of antibody-cell binding was evaluated by capturing red blood cells (RBCs) in human blood with blood group antibodies (anti-A and anti-B). Blood group antibodies were spotted on the modified glass slide and kept at 4<.deg> degrees C overnight for immobilization. Human blood samples diluted to different concentrations were used to examine the sensitivity and specificity of the method.

AFM study of hippocampal cells cultured on silicon wafers with nano-scale surface topograph

The rat hippocampal cells were selected as model to study the interaction between the neural cells and silicon substrates using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The hippocampal cells show tight adherence on silicon wafers with nano-scale surface topograph. The lateral friction force investigated by AFM shows significant increase on the boundary around the cellular body. It is considered to relate to the cytoskeleton and cellular secretions. After ultrasonic wash in ethanol and acetone step by step, the surface of silicon wafers was observed by AFM sequentially. We have found that the culture leftovers form tight porous networks and a monolayer on the silicon wafers. It is concluded that the leftovers overspreading on the silicon substrates are the base of cell adherence on such smooth inert surfaces.     

Studies on the Physicochemical Properties, Structure and Antitumor Activity of an Oligosaccharide Homologue SnS-2 from the Root of Scrophularia ningpoensis Hemsh

An oligosaccharide homologue named SnS-2 was isolated from the root of Scrophularia ningpoensis Hemsl.SnS-2 was purified by means of gel-permeation chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography. Its physicochemical properties, including carbohydrate content and molecular weight were determined. The structure of SnS-2 was elucidated by chemical methods along with ^1H and ^13C NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional DQCOSY and H-detected ^1H, ^13C HMQC experiments. These results show that SnS-2 possesses a backbone consisting of terminal α-Galp-(1→, α-Galp-(1→6), α-Glcp-(1→6) and nonreducing end β-Fruf-(2→. The bioactive assay showed that it could inhibit the growth of Lewis pulmonary carcinoma implanted in mice.     

Graft copolymerization of methyl acrylate onto potato starch initiated by ceric ammonium nitrate

A study was made of the ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) initiated graft copolymerization of methyl acrylate (MA) onto potato starch. The variables affecting the graft were investigated. The optimums have been obtained; they are the concentrations of MA, CAN, and nitric acid (HNO₃) (1.08, 5.0 × 10^?3, and 0.081 mol/L, respectively). The reaction temperature is ca. 50°C and the reaction time is 2 h. The molecular weight of grafted poly(methylacrylate) has been determined. On the basis of experimental results, the mechanism of grafting has been explored, a new kinetic equation of the graft copolymerization is established: R_p = Kk_d [STOH] [Ce⁴⁺] + Kk_pk_d/k_t[STOH][M], where K, k_d, k_p, and k_t are constants. The equation fits the results of experiments. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

用新型AP树脂分离铑—铱和同时富集测定铑`铱`铂`钯

铑-铱分离-向被认为是最困难的课题之一,即使文献曾报道Rh-Ir的分离,但实际Rh并未与萃取剂或吸附剂反应,而是与非贵金属离子一同留在溶液中。我们曾用光谱半定量方法研究了AP树脂对Rh、Ir的吸附行为,结果是Rh不被吸附而Ir能被吸附。本文通过改变Rh的离子状态,使之能被AP树脂吸附完全,而与留在溶液中的非贵金属分离,然后在柱上用不同淋洗液再使Rh-Ir分离。

Theoretical designs of singlet localized 1,3-diradicals

Spin preference and S-T gaps of localized 1,3-diradicals were studied by an orbital phase theory and theoretical calculations. The orbital phase theory was applied to rationalize thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities of diradicals. We theoretically designed some singlet localized 1,3-diradicals, substituted trimethylenes, which are more stable than the lowest triplets. Some diradicals with the four-membered rings, 2,4-disilacyclobutane-1,3-diyls, were designed and shown to have singlet ground states and to be more stable than the sigma-bonded isomers, 2,4-disilabicyclo[1.1.0]butanes. The ab initio calculations supported predictions of the stable carbon-centered localized singlet 1,3-diradicals.
