Preparation, characterization, and application of multistimuli-responsive microspheres with fluorescence-labeled magnetic cores and thermoresponsive shells

Novel functional microspheres with multistimuli-responsive properties have been prepared and characterized. The as-prepared microspheres respond to an external magnetic field, environmental temperature, and ultraviolet radiation. The in vitro drug-loading efficiency and drug-release behavior of these microspheres demonstrated that they could be used as drug carriers for drug controlled release. The results of in vivo distribution investigations of these microspheres showed that they exhibit a high magnetic-targeting effect, which holds promise for applications in various fields such as magnetic drug targeting and tissue labeling, among others.

通过测量不同聚合体系下的阴离子聚合尼龙6(APA-6)反应过程中转化率随时间的变化, 结合真空导入成型的特点, 研究了适合于真空导入成型的APA-6的聚合体系. 研究发现, 己内酰胺钠盐/双酰化内酰胺-1,6-己二胺(C10/C20)(100℃)和己内酰胺钠盐/甲苯二异氰酸酯(C10/TDI)体系反应初期均存在一个转化率线性缓慢增长期, 随后, 聚合体系开始快速反应, 转化率呈指数增长, 反应很快达到平衡. 初步判定这两种体系是适合真空导入成型APA-6复合材料的聚合体系. 在转化率测试的基础上, 利用DSC热分析从活性中心的形成机理进一步分析了C10/TDI体系更适合于较大、 较厚和结构复杂制品的整体成型的原因. 此外, 与普通PA6相比, 真空导入成型APA-6的结晶度、 模量和T_g显著提高, 并且在2种理想体系下聚合的APA-6的性能也有差别, 从活化剂的封端和解封端机理上进行了初步探讨.     

保存条件对大鼠海马组织总RNA质量的影响

从大鼠海马组织提取总RNA后,测定了不同时间和温度下保存及3次循环冻融后RNA的浓度和纯度,并分析了其完整性;探讨了保存时间、保存温度及反复冻融对大鼠海马组织总RNA质量的影响.结果表明,不同条件下保存及冻融3次后RNA浓度较首次检测值均有所降低,4℃下保存60d标本中的RNA浓度明显低于对照组(P<0.05),其他组未见显著性差异;各组RNA的OD 260/OD280在1.8～2.0之间.在-20℃和-70℃下分别保存30d和60d,以及24h冻融3次后的样品RNA的完整性较好;但4℃下保存的两组样品的RNA发生分解.RNA在4℃和-20℃下分别保存30d和60d后,相应的RE[(不同条件下保存后的样品浓度-初始浓度)/初始浓度]值均大于15%,而-70℃下保存30d、60d以及在24h内冻融3次后的RE值均小于15%.据此可知,大鼠海马组织总RNA样品可在-70℃下保存60d,反复冻融3次后总RNA质量基本不变.

Aqueous synthesis of CdSe and CdSe/CdS quantum dots with controllable introduction of Se and S sources

A new and convenient route is developed to synthesize CdSe and core-shell CdSe/CdS quantum dots(QDs) in aqueous solution.The gaseous precursors,H2Se and H2S,generated on-line by reducing SeO 3 2à with NaBH 4 and the reaction between Na 2 S and diluted H2SO 4,are used to form high-quality CdSe and CdSe/CdS QDs,respectively.The synthesized water-soluble CdSe and CdSe/CdS QDs possess high quantum yield(3% and 20%) and narrow full-width-at-half-maximum(43 nm and 38 nm).The synthesis process is easily reproducible with simple apparatus and low-toxic chemicals,and can be readily extended to the large-scale aqueous synthesis of QDs.     

Effect of C∶N molar ratio on monomer composition of polyhdroxyalk anoates produced by Pseudomonas mendocina 0806 and Pseudomonas pseudoalkaligenus YS1

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable polymers produced by bacteria. In this study, the effect of C∶N molar ratio on the monomer composition of PHAs was investigated, including medium chain length PHA produced by Pseudomonas mendocina 0806 and PHA blends consisting of monomers of 3-hydroxybutyrate and medium chain length hydroxyalkan⇘te produced by Pseudomonas pseudoalkaligenus YS1. It was observed that there were some fixed ranges of C∶N molar ratio that affect the monomer composition of PHA independently of the substrate. For strain 0806, the ranges were C∶N <20, 20<C∶N<200, and C∶N>200. The monomer composition was constant among these ranges when using glucose and octanoate as the sole substrate. For strain YS1, the ranges were C∶N<20, 20<C∶N<45, and C∶N>45. These results are useful for controlling monomer composition in PHA production.     

Bioconversion of cellulose into ethanol by nonisothermal simultaneous saccharification and fermentation

The kinetic characteristics of cellulase and beta-glucosidase during hydrolysis were determined. The kinetic parameters were found to reproduce experimental data satisfactorily and could be used in a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) system by coupling with a fermentation model. The effects of temperature on yeast growth and ethanol production were investigated in batch cultures. In the range of 35-45 degrees C, using a mathematical model and a computer simulation package, the kinetic parameters at each temperature were estimated. The appropriate forms of the model equation for the SSF considering the effects of temperature were developed, and the temperature profile for maximizing the ethanol production was also obtained. Briefly, the optimum temperature profile began at a low temperature of 35 degrees C, which allows the propagation of cells. Up to 10 h, the operating temperature increased rapidly to 39 degrees C, and then decreased slowly to 36 degrees C. In this nonisothermal SSF system with the above temperature profile, a maximum ethanol production of 14.87 g/L was obtained.
