Toll-like receptors for pathogen detection in water: challenges and benefits

The need for effective and efficient methods for pathogen detection in water is as serious as ever due to the health risk posed to human population by the consumption of pathogen-contaminated water. One of the important research streams which have been focused on by researchers for development of novel techniques for this purpose is biosensor technologies. Using different bio-recognition elements and transduction methodologies, biosensors have the potential to detect their analyte of interest in a fast and highly specific manner. Different pathogenic agents can be recognised by toll-like receptors (TLRs). The innate immune system of higher organisms employs TLRs for triggering intracellular signalling and induction of the expression of immune response genes. In this report, we explore the challenges associated with employing TLRs for pathogen detection in water samples. Although methods using TLR expressing cells also have been discussed, the focus of this review is on using TLR proteins as the bio-recognition elements in biosensors.     

固相萃取-毛细管液相色谱测定食品和水样中有机磷和氨基甲酸酯类杀虫剂残留

Photon interaction studies using 241Am γ-rays

We have carried out some photon interaction measurements using 59.54 keV γ-rays from a ²⁴¹Am source. These include γ attenuation studies as well as photoelectric absorption studies in various samples. The attenuation studies have been made using leaf and wood samples, samples like sand, sugar etc., which contain particles of varying sizes as well as pellets and aqueous solutions of rare earth compounds. In the case of the leaf and wood samples, we have used the γ-ray attenuation technique for the determination of the water content in fresh and dried samples. The variation of the attenuation coefficient with particle size has been investigated for sand and sugar samples. The attenuation studies as well as the photoelectric studies in the case of rare earth elements have been carried out on samples containing such elements whose K-absorption edge energies lie below and close to the γ-energy used. Suitable compounds of the rare earth elements have been chosen as mixture absorbers in these investigations. A narrow beam good geometry set-up was used for the attenuation measurements. A well-shielded scattering geometry was used for the photoelectric measurements. The mixture rule was invoked to extract the values of the mass attenuation coefficients for the elements from those of the corresponding compounds. The results are consistent with theoretical values derived from the XCOM package.     

FI-KR-FAAS空气混合吸附二次气体分隔洗脱法测定海洋生物样中的痕量铅

建立了流动注射（flow injection, FI）空气混合吸附预富集编结反应器（knotted reactor, KR）二次气体分隔洗脱法与火焰原子吸收光谱法（flame atomic absorption spectrum, FAAS）联用测定海洋生物样中的痕量铅。在预富集步骤,空气、络合剂和铅溶液在线混合,空气的引入,大大提高了铅的螯合物在KR内壁的吸附效果。在洗脱前,通入一段空气流,在洗脱过程中,即在非完全洗脱时,加入一段空气流,两段空气流的引入,大大降低了被分析物在洗脱液中的分散,提高了信号响应值,从而提高了浓集系数（enhancement factor, EF）。将空气混合吸附预富集与二次气体分隔洗脱法联用,使得KR吸附富集效果和洗脱效果达到了更高的水平。和微柱的低寿命、高反压相比,KR反压小,耐酸耐碱,寿命几乎无限长,对蠕动泵的要求很低,不易造成溶液渗漏等问题。在洗脱过程进行到第5秒时输入1 s空气流作为间隔,而不是等整个洗脱过程完成以后再输入空气流,此方法的优点是：洗脱完全,而且大大降低了被分析物在洗脱过程中的分散,吸收信号值大大增加。如果单纯地把洗脱时间降到5 s,那么洗脱会非常不完全,也就是没有洗脱干净,在管路中还会残存大量的被分析物,残存的被分析物被带入下一个样品分析中,会对整个实验造成很大的误差,所有的实验数据都将不准,失去数据利用价值。所以完全的洗脱是非常必要的,必须保证一定的洗脱时间。由于随着洗脱过程的进行,洗脱下来的被分析物呈逐渐减小的趋势,在以往洗脱方法中,等到整个洗脱过程全部进行完以后,被分析物在洗脱液中的分散已经相当严重了,导致所得到吸收信号值大大减小。在洗脱过程中插入空气流,即在非完全洗脱时插入空气流,降低了被分析物在洗脱过程中的分散,同时保证了洗脱的完全,大大提高了吸收信号峰值。优化了络合剂种类、浓度和酸度,样品富集时间和流速,空气混合吸附时的空气流速和时间,洗脱前第一次通气时间,预洗脱时间,洗脱过程中第二次通气时间等实验参数。在最佳实验条件下,铅在0.005～0.6 mg·L-1浓度范围内呈现良好的线性关系,铅的检出限（3σ）为2.2 μg·L-1。将新方法与直接火焰原子吸收法、传统的FI-KR空气混合吸附预富集普通洗脱法进行了比较,结果显示本方法的浓集系数更高。将该方法应用于海洋生物样中痕量铅的测定,测得鳝鱼、对虾、虾姑、鲟鱼、舌鳎和贻贝标准中的铅含量为0.34~1.92 μg·g-1;加标量为1.0 μg·g-1时,加标回收率为93.5%~96.4%;相对标准偏差为0.52%~2.94%。用FI-KR-FAAS空气混合吸附预富集,二次气体分隔洗脱法测定海洋生物样中的痕量铅,具有富集效果好,准确度高,精密度好,浓集系数高等优点,分析结果令人满意。     

密闭高温高压溶样ICP-MS测定24个国际地质标样中的Sb和Bi

研究了ICP-MS分析中Bi,Sb,Te和As产生的记忆效应,其记忆效应Bi>Sb>Te>As。在低浓度硝酸介质中(0.01%～1%),贮存样品的聚丙烯瓶和ICP-MS的进样管道会对Bi元素产生严重的吸附作用。0.1%氢氟酸的清洗效果优于6%的硝酸,而6%的硝酸的清洗效果要优于0.1%高氯酸。在给定的仪器操作条件下,Sb和Bi的检出限分别为0.001和0.000 1 ng·mL-1。采用该清洗方法,结合密闭高温高压溶样,测定了24个国际地质标样中的Bi和Sb。大部分标样的测定结果与已有参考值吻合较好。文章还给出了国际标样AGV-2(安山岩)、BHVO-2(玄武岩)和BCR-2(玄武岩)中Bi和Sb的测定值。     

Investigation of the (√3 × √3)R30°-Cu2Si/Cu(1 1 1) surface alloy using DFT

The electronic structure of the FCC, HCP and 2-fold bridge phases of the (√3 × √3)R30°-Cu₂Si/Cu(1 1 1) surface alloy have been investigated using LCAO-DFT. Analysis of the total electron density, partial density-of-states (PDOS) and crystal orbital overlap population (COOP) curves for the system have shown a surprising similarity between the intra- and inter-layer Si-Cu bond for each phase. Low hybridization between the Si 3s and 3p orbitals results in a low directionality of the Si-Cu bond within each of phase. The Si 3s orbitals are shown to form covalent bonds with their surrounding Cu atoms whereas the Si 3p and 3d orbitals are shown to form combinations of covalent and metallic bonds. The Si-Cu interaction is shown clearly to extend to the second layer of the alloy in deference to previous studies of Si/Cu alloys.     

CH4 dissociation on NiCo (1 1 1) surface: A first-principles study

A density-functional theory method has been conducted to investigate the adsorption of CH_x (x = 0-4) as well as the dissociation of CH_x (x = 1-4) on (1 1 1) facets of ordered NiCo alloy. The results have been compared with those obtained on pure Ni (1 1 1) surface. It shows that the adsorption energies of C and CH are decreased while it is increased for CH₃ on NiCo (1 1 1) compared to those on pure Ni (1 1 1). Furthermore, on NiCo (1 1 1), dissociation of CH_x prefers not to the top of Ni, but to the top of Co. The rate-determining step for CH₄ dissociation is considered as the first step of dehydrogenation on NiCo (1 1 1), while it is the fourth step of dehydrogenation on Ni (1 1 1). Furthermore, the activation barrier in rate-determining step is slightly higher by 0.07 eV on Ni (1 1 1) than that on NiCo (1 1 1). From above results, it is important to point out that carbon is easy to form on NiCo (1 1 1) although the adsorption energy of C atom is slightly decreased compared to that on Ni (1 1 1).     

A first-principles study of C + O reaction on NiCo(1 1 1) surface

A density-functional theory method has been conducted to investigate the association of C + O on (1 1 1) facets of ordered NiCo alloy and the results have been compared with those obtained on pure Ni(1 1 1) surface. In reaction of C + O, the favorable reaction path is that C adsorbed on HCP-1 site moves to the nearest Ni-Co bridge site, and associates with O migrating from FCC-1 site to result in CO adsorbed on the bridge site of Ni-Co. However, the reaction barrier is higher by 0.35 eV than that on pure Ni(1 1 1), which indicates that the incorporation of Co into the Ni crystal is not in favor of the reaction of carbon delimination.
