Proteomic analysis of protein oxidation in Alzheimer's disease brain

There is a growing body of evidence that oxidative stress plays a major role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Identification of oxidatively altered proteins in AD is important for understanding the relationship between protein oxidation, protein aggregation and neurodegeneration. In this communication, we report a method that can be applied to study oxidative changes of individual proteins in brain. In order to analyze protein oxidation by detection of protein-bound carbonyls, cytosolic protein extracts were derivatized with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) and then separated by two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. After electrotransfer to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes, proteins were first stained with Sypro Ruby protein stain, and then the oxidized proteins were detected with anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) antibody. About 150 proteins and more than 100 oxidized proteins were detected and quantified in both AD and control cases by 2-D image analysis. The amount of protein-bound carbonyls was decreased for six and increased for one protein in AD. The amount of protein was increased for three proteins in AD. Furthermore, the degree of oxidation was calculated as the ratio of protein-bound carbonyls to the total amount of an individual protein. Two proteins showed a significant decrease in the degree of oxidation in AD. Our results suggest that the balance of protein oxidation and degradation is altered in AD.

Vapour–liquid equilibrium for the ethyl ethanoate + 1-butene, +cis-2-butene, +trans-2-butene, +2-methylpropene, +n-butane and +2-methylpropane

Isothermal vapour–liquid equilibrium was measured for ethyl ethanoate + 1-butene, +cis-2-butene, +trans-2-butene, +2-methylpropene, +n-butane and +2-methylpropane at 318.4 K with an automated static total pressure measurement apparatus. The experimental data was correlated with the Wilson activity coefficient model. A good agreement between the experiments and the model was achieved. All six binary systems exhibited positive deviation from Raoult's law.     

Injectable Supramolecular Hydrogel/Microgel Composites for Therapeutic Delivery

Shear‐thinning hydrogels are useful for biomedical applications, from 3D bioprinting to injectable biomaterials. Although they have the appropriate properties for injection, it may be advantageous to decouple injectability from the controlled release of encapsulated therapeutics. Toward this, composites of hydrogels and encapsulated microgels are introduced with microgels that are fabricated via microfluidics. The microgel cross‐linker controls degradation and entrapped molecule release, and the concentration of microgels alters composite hydrogel rheological properties. For the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI), interleukin‐10 (IL‐10) is encapsulated in microgels and released from composites. In a rat model of MI, composites with IL‐10 reduce macrophage density after 1 week and improve scar thickness, ejection fraction, cardiac output, and the size of vascular structures after 4 weeks when compared to saline injection. Improvements are also observed with the composite without IL‐10 over saline, emphasizing the role of injectable hydrogels alone on tissue repair.

Determination of P/Al ratio in phosphorus-doped aluminium oxide thin films by XRF,RBS and FTIR

Phosphorus-doped aluminium oxide thin films were deposited in a flow-type ALE reactor from AlCl₃, H₂O and from either P₂O₅ or trimethyl-phosphate. Structural information of the films was obtained from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) was used to quantitatively determine the composition of the films. The P/Al intensity ratios calculated from X-ray fluorescence (XRF) results were in a linear relation with the P/Al concentration ratios calculated from RBS results. For comparison, the intensity ratios of the phosphorus peak (P=O) at about 1250 cm^–1 and the aluminium peak (Al-O) at about 950 cm^–1 were determined from the IR absorption spectra. The calibration of FTIR peak intensities was done by plotting the intensity ratios of phosphorus and aluminium peaks against the P/Al concentration ratios measured by RBS. FTIR gave also a linear calibration curve with RBS but the method is less suitable for routine analysis of P/Al ratio than XRF.     

Structural, thermoanalytical and molecular modeling studies on N-(3-hydroxypropyl) 3 alpha,12 alpha-dihydroxy-5 beta-cholan-24-amide and its monohydrates

The synthetic method for preparing N-(3-hydroxypropyl) 3 alpha,12 alpha-dihydroxy-5 beta-cholan-24-amide can lead to formation of at least three different crystal forms - an anhydrous compound and two monohydrates. The structural and thermal properties of these forms have been characterized by 13C-CP/MAS-NMR and IR spectroscopy, thermo- gravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and by powder and single crystal x-ray crystallography. In addition, theoretical 13C-NMR chemical shift calculations were also performed for the anhydrous compound and for the first monohydrate, starting from single crystal structures and the structures of these species have now been verified. The first monohydrate, C27H47NO4 x H2O, crystallizes in orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with cell parameters: a = 7.1148(2), b = 18.1775(5), c = 20.1813(6), Z = 4.     

Photocrosslinkable polyesters and poly(ester anhydride)s for biomedical applications

Crosslinking is a feasible way to prepare biodegradable polymers with potential in biomedical applications such as controlled release of active agents and tissue engineering. A synthesis route in which functional telechelic aliphatic polyester oligomers are used as precursors for the preparation of crosslinked polyesters and poly(ester anhydride)s is described. Mechanical properties, degradation characteristics and rate, and bioactivity can be modified widely by controlling the chemical composition and architecture of the crosslinkable oligomers. In tissue engineering, photocrosslinking allows to use crosslinkable oligomers in advanced manufacturing techniques like micromolding in capillaries, stereolithography and two-photon polymerization.     

Porous anionic, cationic, and neutral metal-carboxylate frameworks constructed from flexible tetrapodal ligands: syntheses, structures, ion-exchanges, and magnetic properties

A series of coordination polymers with anionic, cationic, and neutral metal-carboxylate frameworks have been synthesized by using a flexible tetrapodal ligand tetrakis[4-(carboxyphenyl)oxamethyl] methane acid (H(4)X). The reactions between divalent transition-metal ions and H(4)X ligands gave [M(3)X(2)]·[NH(2)(CH(3))(2)](2)·8DMA (M = Co (1), Mn (2), Cd(3)) which have anionic metal-carboxylate frameworks with NH(2)(CH(3))(2)(+) cations filled in channels. The reactions of trivalent metal ions Y(III), Dy(III), and In(III) with H(4)X ligands afforded cationic metal-carboxylate frameworks [M(3)X(2)·(NO(3))·(DMA)(2)·(H(2)O)]·5DMA·2H(2)O (M = Y(4), Dy(5)) and [In(2)X·(OH)(2)]·3DMA·6H(2)O (6) with the NO(3)(-) and OH(-) serving as counterions, respectively. Moreover, a neutral metal-carboxylate framework [Pb(2)X·(DMA)(2)]·2DMA (7) can also be isolated from reaction of Pb(II) and H(4)X ligands. The charged metal-carboxylate frameworks 1-5 have selectivity for specific counterions in the reaction system, and compounds 1 and 2 display ion-exchange behavior. Moreover, magnetic property measurements on compounds 1, 2, and 5 indicate that there exists weak antiferromagnetic interactions between magnetic centers in the three compounds.
