X射线照射Hep-2细胞对其培养基吸收光谱的影响

采用分光光度计分别测量了受不同剂量X射线照射后继续培养48h时的人上皮样喉癌细胞株Hep-2的培养基RPMI1640的紫外吸收光谱,分析了该培养基中蛋白质的紫外吸收特性.结果发现:各组培养基的吸收光谱存在明显的差别,新鲜培养基RPMI1640(10%胎牛血清)233nm处的吸收峰在细胞生长过程中位移至235nm,275nm处的吸收峰位移至278nm.反映出各组培养基中芳香族氨基酸中各种氨基酸如色氨酸、酪氨酸、苯丙氨酸的含量的变化,说明癌细胞在生长过程中对这几种氨基酸的改变不是按等量比的.实验还发现细胞培养基的吸收光谱强度与各剂量组细胞数基本成正相关,进而与细胞所受X射线照射的剂量有内在的联系.这些结果将为利用光谱技术研究人喉癌最佳X射线放射剂量奠定基础.     

Characterization of Ti6Al4V implant surface treated by Nd:YAG laser and emery paper for orthopaedic applications

A more noble and biocompatible Ti alloy was achieved at fluence of 140 J cm⁻² where the implant indicated a higher degree of hardness (825HV), higher corrosion resistance (−0.21 V) and highest hydrophilicity (i.e. θ_c = 37°) compared with 70° of the control sample. These values corresponded to 58 and 39 mN m⁻¹ of surface tension respectively. The laser treated samples at 140 J cm⁻² showed higher wettability characteristics than mechanically roughened surface. Cell growth and their spreading condition in a specific area were analyzed by SEM and Image J Program software. Clearly, more cells were attached (1.2 × 10⁵) to and spread (488 μm²) over the surface at 140 J cm⁻² than in any other condition. Pathologically, the treated samples indicated no sign of infection.

利用强流脉冲电子束(HCPEB)装置对金属纯Ni进行轰击,采用X射线衍射及透射电子显微镜(TEM)技术详细分析了受轰击样品的变形结构和缺陷。X射线衍射分析表明,经强流脉冲电子束处理后,在{111}和{200}晶面出现了择优取向。TEM表层微观结构分析表明:强流脉冲电子束轰击1次和5次后,晶粒内部形成了大量的(111)[112]型波状条带结构,在波状条带内部包含大量平行的(200)[110]型微条带;10次轰击后,样品变形结构发生变化,除大量的条带状结构外,变形孪晶的数量明显增多。这些变形微结构不仅影响表层的织构演化行为,而且还能细化晶粒,强流脉冲电子束技术为制备表面纳米材料提供了一条有效的途径。     

Cathode catalysts degradation mechanism from liquid electrolyte to membrane electrode assembly

Single-cell and half-cell degradation test procedures were evaluated for carbon-supported Pt/C, PtCo/C and PtNi/C catalysts. Half-cell analyses were employed to understand the effect of the number of cycles and of the scan rate over the cathode catalysts degradation under potential cycling from 0.6 to 1.2 V. The data suggested a time-dependent degradation for all three catalytic systems. Single-cell measurements were used to evaluate the impact of catalyst degradation on fuel cell performance. The measurements in both setups showed similar ECSA and ORR mass activity losses. Specific degradation mechanisms related to Pt dissolution, Pt agglomeration, and transitional metal leaching were quantified and correlated with performance losses.     

Molecular engineering and biomedical applications of ultra-sensitive fluorescent probe for Ag+

A series of probes KJ-x (x = 1−3) with carbon chains of different lengths based on the matrix of rhodamine B were engineered to detect Ag⁺ in aqueous solution in this work. Among them, KJ-1 is selected as the best option after in vitro investigation in view of its most sensitive and rapid response to Ag⁺, whose possible sensing mechanism is studied by experimental investigation and theoretical calculation. To identify the practical application of the probe, the detection of Ag⁺ in nonantibiotic fungicide Silver&Health and differentiation between normal hepatocytes and hepatoma cells using confocal imaging was conducted.     

Influence of NH beam bombarding energy on structural characterization and cell attachment of CNx coating

The carbon nitride (CN_x) coating with its novel properties will be excellent candidate for biomedical applications. CN_x coatings were prepared on the surface of Ti–6Al–4V by ion-beam-assisted deposition (IBAD) with different NHⁿ⁺ beam bombarding energies at low substrate temperature. The coatings were characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The result showed that the wear-resistance of CN_x coatings was better at higher beam bombarding energy. The cell attachment tests also gave interesting results that CN_x coatings exhibited low macrophage attachment and provide desirable surface for the normal cellular growth and morphology of the fibroblasts. Structural analysis showed that NHⁿ⁺ beam bombardment at the energies of 300–400 eV could result in more nitrogen concentration and fraction of sp³CN bonds in the structure of CN_x coatings, which may be responsible for the improvement in the wear-resistance and the cell attachment.

Aggregation‐Induced and Polymorphism‐Dependent Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) Characteristics of an Oligothiophene: Applications in Time‐Dependent Live Cell Multicolour Imaging

Typically, molecules with a twisted donor–acceptor (D‐A) architecture have been exploited for constructing thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials. Herein, we report the first example of a thiophene‐based thermally activated delayed fluorescent molecule without a D‐A architecture. Compound 1 (2,5‐bis(2,2‐di(thiophen‐2‐yl)vinyl)thiophene) is conformationally flexible and shows weak fluorescence in the solution state but displays bright TADFin both condensed and solid states. Compound 1 crystallized in two different polymorphs ( 1 a and 1 b ). Interestingly, both polymorphs show distinctly different TADF features. The broad spectral features and the TADF characteristics of 1 have been explored for the time‐dependent multicolor (green, yellow and red) imaging of living cells.     

Luminescent amphiphilic nanogels by terpyridine-Zn(II) complexation of polymeric micelles

In this work, we investigated terpyridine (tpy)/Zn(II) complexation for the crosslinking of polymeric micelles of the branched poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide) block copolymer Tetronic® 1107 (T1107) in water and produce physically stable amphiphilic luminescent nanogels. Nanoparticles displayed a size of 235 ± 25 and 318 ± 57 nm before and after Zn(II) crosslinking, respectively, as measured by dynamic light scattering. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed the multimicellar nature of the crosslinked nanoparticles. In addition, Zn(II) complexation prevented nanoparticle disassembly after extreme dilution below the critical micellar concentration and reduced the minimum concentration required for the reverse thermal gelation of concentrated aqueous T1107 systems. The cell compatibility and uptake were initially assessed in the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. Results showed that complexation increases the cell compatibility of the nanoparticles with respect to the non-complexed counterparts. In addition, non-crosslinked nanoparticles accumulated in the cell membrane, while the complexed ones were internalized, as observed by confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy. Then, the antiproliferative activity of the crosslinked nanoparticles was confirmed in the rhabdomyosarcoma cell line Rh30; their inhibitory concentration 50 (IC₅₀) being 101 μg/mL (6.7 μM). Finally, the encapsulation and release of the hydrophobic antiretroviral efavirenz was characterized in vitro. Complexation slightly reduced the release kinetics with respect to the pristine nanoparticles. Overall results demonstrate the promise of this simple modification strategy to produce amphiphilic nanogels with a set of advantageous physicochemical, optical, and biological properties.
