CTAB/SDBS囊泡的自发形成与聚合

讨论了CTAB/SDBS复配比例、体系浓度对其囊泡自发形成的影响和不同制备方法与放置时间对囊泡尺寸的影响,同时用TEM考察了囊泡的结构与形态。通过TEM发现囊泡之间有相互聚集融合变大的趋势,粒径分析也发现随放置时间延长囊泡尺寸增大。所以这里采用聚合法来改善囊泡的稳定性。经粒径分析证实经聚合法处理的囊泡其尺寸明显比未处理的稳定。     

Structural Phase Behavior of High-Concentration,Alignable Biomimetic Bicelle Mixtures

The structures of bicelle mixtures composed of dimyristoyl and dihexanoyl phosphatidylcholines (DMPC and DHPC) with DMPC/DHPC molar ratios of 3.2 and 5 are characterized using polarized optical microscopy (POM) and small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Three phases, isotropic (I), chiral nematic (N^*) and smectic (S) are observed as temperature (T) varies from 10 to 70 °C. The structure of the magnetically alignable N^* phase, which was previously considered to be made up of discoidal micelles, is found to be composed of “ribbons”. Doping with the charged lipid, dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DMPG), which has the same 14:0 hydrocarbon chains as DMPC, results in a structural change of the aggregates where only the isotropic and smectic phases are observed. The smectic phase for the mixtures doped with DMPG is shear-alignable and follows one-dimensional swelling. However, at high-T zwitterionic DMPC/DHPC mixtures form multi-lamellar vesicles (MLV) with a relatively constant lamellar spacing of 66 Å, independent of water content.     

A titration microcalorimeter and the vesicle of mixed surfactants

A titration microcalorimeter with the sample cells of 1 mL and 3 mL volume was constructed by combining LKB-2107 ampule microcalorimeter with an improved Thermometric titration microcalorimeter. Its sensitivity and precision were tested with the baseline noise and stability, the measurement of energy equivalent, and the linear relation of electric energy and integral area as the function of voltage (V)-time (f). Its accuracy was demonstrated by measuring the dilution enthalpy of a concentrated sucrose solution and the micelle-forming enthalpy of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in aqueous solution respectively. At the same time, the enthalpy of interaction between SDS and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) was measured by using the titration microcalorimeter, and the phase behavior of SDS-DDAB aqueous mixture was discussed. The microcalorimetric results show that the enthalpy of interaction between SDS and DDAB micelles is -29.53 kJ/mol, the enthalpy of formation of 1:1 SDS-DDAB salt is -125.8 kJ/mol,     

四环素-铕与卵磷脂的相互作用及卵磷脂的测定

以四环素(TC)-Eu3 作为荧光探针,提出了新的荧光光度法测量卵磷脂(PC)。在pH 5.7的酸度条件下,扫描不同浓度的PC与TC-Eu3 的荧光光谱。通过优化实验条件,得到了测定PC的最佳条件。卵磷脂能使TC-Eu3 位于612 nm处的特征荧光显著增强且增强的荧光强度与PC的量成正比。测量的线性范围为4.0×10-7~1.4×10-5mol/L,检出限为3.9×10-8mol/L。该方法已用于实际样品的测定。

高内相/自乳液聚合的共轭亚油酸低聚体的囊泡化及稳定性

采用自乳化法制备了高内相共轭亚油酸(CLA)的水包油(O/W)乳液, 并通过热引发乳液聚合反应得到共轭亚油酸低聚体(oligo-CLA); 将oligo-CLA用于自组装脂肪酸囊泡(FAV). 透射电子显微镜和动态激光光散射表征结果均表明, 在pH=8.6~13范围内得到了囊泡粒径为10~30 nm的FAV, 此结果对提高FAV的pH适应性具有理论意义. 自乳液聚合实验结果表明, 该高内相自乳化/热引发低聚反应策略可以使浓度高达75.3%(质量分数)的CLA完成无外加表面活性剂乳液聚合, 并使共轭双键总自交联率达到33%且控制oligo-CLA的平均聚合度约为6, 对规模化生产oligo-CLA及构筑FAV具有实用价值. 与CLA相比, oligo-CLA具有更好的低温溶解性, 由其自组装的FAV具有更好的环境适应性, 如耐酸性和抗钙皂能力, 而且显示出较好的钙响应囊泡体积膨胀率; 以极少量非离子表面活性剂Span 40或AEO₂辅助oligo-CLA形成的杂化囊泡具有更宽的pH适应性. 因此, 所制备的FAV在药物释放体系、 日用化学产品、 家用洗涤剂和个人护理产品中具有更广阔的应用前景.     

Shotgun Proteomics of Isolated Urinary Extracellular Vesicles for Investigating Respiratory Impedance in Healthy Preschoolers

Urine proteomic applications in children suggested their potential in discriminating between healthy subjects from those with respiratory diseases. The aim of the current study was to combine protein fractionation, by urinary extracellular vesicle isolation, and proteomics analysis in order to establish whether different patterns of respiratory impedance in healthy preschoolers can be characterized from a protein fingerprint. Twenty-one 3–5-yr-old healthy children, representative of 66 recruited subjects, were selected: 12 late preterm (LP) and 9 full-term (T) born. Children underwent measurement of respiratory impedance through Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) and no significant differences between LP and T were found. Unbiased clustering, based on proteomic signatures, stratified three groups of children (A, B, C) with significantly different patterns of respiratory impedance, which was slightly worse in group A than in groups B and C. Six proteins (Tripeptidyl peptidase I (TPP1), Cubilin (CUBN), SerpinA4, SerpinF1, Thy-1 membrane glycoprotein (THY1) and Angiopoietin-related protein 2 (ANGPTL2)) were identified in order to type the membership of subjects to the three groups. The differential levels of the six proteins in groups A, B and C suggest that proteomic-based profiles of urinary fractionated exosomes could represent a link between respiratory impedance and underlying biological profiles in healthy preschool children.

Shape-dependent natural boundary condition of Lagrangian field

In the framework of the Lagrangian field theory, we derive the equations characterizing shape-dependent natural boundary conditions from the Hamilton’s principle. Of these equations, one exhibits mathematical pattern similar to general relativity. In this equation, one side of the sign of equality is the energy–momentum tensor of field and another side is the combination of mean curvature and Gaussian curvature of boundary surface. Meanwhile, we verify that the shape-dependent natural boundary condition can be simplified into the shape equation of lipid vesicle or the generalized Young–Laplace’s equation under different condition.     

三区域膜泡相分离模式之间转变的研究

基于Helfrich弹性曲率模型，结合实验参数，用直接极小化方法对三区域膜泡的两种相分离模式的稳定形状，及其之间的相变进行了计算，得出相变点为φ_o^*=0.49，与实验结果φ_o^*=0.5很接近.用直接极小化方法还研究了三区域膜泡发生发芽的必要条件，指出只有当约化线张力系数足够大，并且膜泡内外溶剂能自由渗透时，才可能发生发芽形变，并对渗透的可能机制进行了探讨.
