Electrochemical characteristics of gatifloxacin and its interaction with DNA.

The electrochemical behavior of gatifloxacin (GTFX) and its interaction with natural calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) is investigated by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) on a carbon paraffined electrode. According to the suggested electrochemical equation, a binding constant of 1.7058 x 10(5) (mol L(-1))(-1) and binding sizes s = 3.09 (base pairs) of GTFX with ctDNA are obtained by nonlinear fit analysis of electrochemical data. The results demonstrate that GTFX has the properties of an intercalative binder.     

Positive Steady States of a Prey-predator Model with Diffusion and Non-monotone Conversion Rate

In this paper, we study the positive steady states of a prey-predator model with diffusion throughout and a non-monotone conversion rate under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. We obtain some results of the existence and non-existence of positive steady states. The stability and uniqueness of positive steady states are also discussed.     

Geometric optimization andD P -completeness

In this paper we show a number of natural geometric optimization problems in the plane to becomplete for a classD ^P . The classD ^p contains both NP and Co-NP and is contained in ₂ ^P =P ^NP. Completeness inD ^p is exhibited under many-one and positive reductions. Further anOptP(O(logn)) result is also obtained for some of these optimization problems.Work on this paper by the first author was supported in part by NSF Grant No. MIP 85-21356 and ARO Contract No. DAAG29-85-C-0018 under Cornell/MSI.

Chiral Salen Manganese Complex Immobilized on SBA-15： A New Heterogenized Enantioselective Catalyst for the Epoxidation of Alkenes

Jacobsen‘s catalyst was immobilized onto SBA-15 by multi-step grafting, and this heterogenized catalyst exhibited comparable catalytic performance with the corresponding homogeneous counterpart for the epoxidation of alkenes, and the catalyst could be recycled effectively several times.     

新铜试剂—曙红Y萃取光度法测定微量铜

铜(I)-新铜试剂(NCP)-曙红Y(Eosin Y)能形成离子对三元络合物,其络合比为1:2:1。在氯仿中该络合物的λ_(max)=544nm,表观摩尔吸光系数ε=6.83×10~4 L mol~(-1)cm~(-1)。以柠檬酸盐作掩蔽剂,控制水相pH=4.5,相比(水相/氯仿)=2/1,可将络合物定量萃入氯仿中。一般常见的共存离子均不干扰测定,显色稳定性好,线性范围为0～5μg cu/5ml氯仿。方法灵救度高,选择性好。     

SUPER TOUGH GELS WITH A DOUBLE NETWORK STRUCTURE

 Living tissues work with fantastic functions in soft and wet gel-like state. Thus, hydrogels have attracted much attention as excellent soft & wet materials, suitable for making artificial organs for medical treatments.However, conventional hydrogels are mechanically too weak for practical uses. We have created double network (DN) hydrogels with extremely high mechanical strength in order to overcome this problem. DN gels are interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogels consisting of rigid polyelectrolyte and soft neutral polymer. Their excellent mechanical properties cannot be explained by the standard fracture theories. In this paper, we discuss about the toughening mechanism of DN gels in accordance with their characteristic behavior, such as large hysteresis and necking phenomenon. We also describe the results on tissue engineering application of DN gels.     

降铅冲剂对低水平铅暴露仔鼠血铅及脑铅的影响

目的:研究降铅冲剂对低水平铅暴露仔鼠血铅及脑铅的影响,为评价降铅冲剂的作用提供依据。方法:选用Wister大鼠仔鼠60只,体质量80~100 g,随机分成6组,每组10只,分别为空白组、模型对照组、EDTA对照组、降铅冲剂低剂量组、降铅冲剂中剂量组、降铅冲剂高剂量组;造模后开始给药,EDTA对照组给CaNa2EDTA注射液10(mg/kg)/d腹腔注射,降铅冲剂低、中、高剂量组分别予降铅冲剂5(g/kg)/d、10(g/kg)/d、20(g/kg)/d的剂量灌胃,空白组和模型对照组予等量蒸馏水灌胃,给药共30 d。用石墨炉原子吸收光谱仪测定仔鼠血铅、脑铅。结果:(1)染铅后,各染铅组的血铅水平与空白组比较都显著升高(P<0.001),经过30 d的治疗后,各治疗组的治疗后血铅水平均有不同程度下降,与模型对照组比较均有统计学意义。(2)染铅后,各染铅组的脑铅水平与空白组比较都显著升高(P<0.05),治疗后,各组脑铅与治疗前比较均显著升高,降铅冲剂低、中剂量组的脑铅与模型对照组比较显著下降。结论:降铅冲剂能显著降低低水平铅暴露仔鼠的血铅和脑铅含量,其综合疗效优于CaNa2EDTA。     

Deposition of Layer－by－layer Inorganic－organic Nano－hybrid Ultrathin Films onto SBA－15

Deposition of inorganic-organic nano-hybrid ultrathin films onto mesoporous silicate materials has been proven possible by using layer-by-layer assembly method. In combination with sol-gel method, titania, subsequently dye molecules (or polymer) were successfully fabricated onto the inner wall of SBA-15. Their structures were preliminarily characterized by FTIR and solid-state UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and BET surface area measurements,respectively.
