Dioxin analysis in feed: cell-based assay versus mass spectrometry method

In the determination of contaminants (dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, polyaromatic hydrocarbons), cell-based assays are useful methods for screening purposes: they are mainly characterized by high sample throughput and lower costs than the Mass Spectrometry (MS)-based methods. Although cell-based assays can be sensitive enough for the determination of dioxins and related substances in agreement with the presently tolerable limits in food and feed (Regulation No. 2375/2001/EC and Directive 2003/57/EC respectively), their lack of specificity make their use rather questionable in control laboratories. In this paper, we present and compare results obtained from the analysis of a limited number of feed samples by both gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) and cell-based assay (DR-CALUX: dioxin responsive-chemically activated luciferase gene expression) methods. The DR-CALUX screening led to less than 10% false non-compliant and no false compliant results. In addition, there is a good correlation between GC-HRMS and DR-CALUX data. However, these preliminary results have to be confirmed on a larger number of samples to demonstrate that total toxic equivalent (TEQ), including dioxins, furans and dioxin-like polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) can be monitored in feed and food with a cell-based assay.

关联法和类比法在生物化学教学中的应用

“生物化学”涉及到生命科学与化学2个知识体系的交叉,内涵非常丰富,正因为如此,在课堂教学中往往容易遇到知识点过于分散的问题,而导致学生难以系统而有效地抓住重点。为解决这一问题,在“生物化学”的教学中引入关联法和类比法,紧扣生物大分子复杂性与分子层面的同一性兼具的特点,利用“关联”与“类比”相结合的教学模式,将书本中繁杂的知识点联系成一个彼此相互联系的树状的网络,向学生讲述这个生命之树相关的故事,从而提升“生物化学”的教学效果。     

Applications of deuterium oxide in human health

The main aim goal of this review was to gather information about recent publications related to deuterium oxide (D₂O), and its use as a scientific tool related to human health. Searches were made in electronic databases Pubmed, Scielo, Lilacs, Medline and Cochrane. Moreover, the following patent databases were consulted: EPO (Espacenet patent search), USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) and Google Patents, which cover researches worldwide related to innovations using D₂O.

火焰原子吸收分光光度法测定饲料中的铬

强制性国家标准GB 13078—2001规定了饲料中铬的限量。文章针对饲料中铬含量测定的国家标准方法GB/T 13088—1991的不足,建立了火焰原子吸收分光光度(FAAS)法测定饲料中铬含量的分析方法。分别研究了不同的乙炔流量、燃烧器高度和干扰抑制剂氯化铵的添加量对三价铬[Cr(Ⅲ)]和六价铬[Cr(Ⅵ)]测定灵敏度的影响;比较了用Cr(Ⅲ)和Cr(Ⅵ)标准曲线测定饲料样品中铬的结果,两组测定的平均值经t检验,无显著性差异。FAAS法测定铬的灵敏度为0.014 μg·mL-1;检出限为0.70 mg·kg-1,标准添加回收率为94.4%～104.9%,同一样品重复测定(6～7次)的相对标准偏差(RSD)为1.90%～4.08%。该方法与GB/T 13088—1991相比具有简便、快速、准确等优点,其检出限满足GB 13078—2001规定的饲料中铬的限量要求。     

Effect of environmental temperature and applied potential on water desalination performance using electrodialysis

Desalination of brackish water is a challenging task for higher recovery of water. In most of the cases, water recovery is low with high wastage. Electrodialysis (ED) provides a solution of water desalination with high recovery. Ion-exchange membranes are the main component for electrodialysis system. Here cation-exchange membrane and anion-exchange membrane were synthesized by free-radical polymerization for water desalination by ED. ATR-FTIR confirms the successful functionalization of the membranes and scanning electron microscopy technique reveals the dense morphology of the membranes. Here we used polyethylene as a binder and blow film extrusion for film formation, which is not only economically viable as well as large amount of membranes can be produced without using hazardous solvent. The desalination study reveals the improvement in desalination performance with slight increment in temperature which may be due to higher ionic mobility. The mechanical and thermal stability of the membranes was characterized to ensure the viability of membranes for desalination at higher temperatures. Effect of applied potential was also studied in the removal of pathogens during desalination and confirmed that 2 V/cell pair applied potential removes almost 97% pathogens during desalination in continuous mode.     

Syntheses of Salmonella Paratyphi A Associated Oligosaccharide Antigens and Development towards Anti-Paratyphoid Fever Vaccines

With the emergence of multidrug resistant Salmonella strains, the development of anti-Salmonella vaccines is an important task. Currently there are no approved vaccines against Salmonella Paratyphi A, the leading cause of paratyphoid fever. To fill this gap, oligosaccharides corresponding to the O-polysaccharide repeating units from the surface of Salmonella Paratyphi A have been synthesized through convergent stereoselective glycosylations. The synthetic glycan antigen was conjugated with a powerful immunogenic carrier system, the bacteriophage Qβ. The resulting construct was able to elicit strong and long-lasting anti-glycan IgG antibody responses, which were highly selective toward Salmonella Paratyphi A associated glycans. The availability of well-defined glycan antigen enabled the determination that one repeating unit of the polysaccharide is sufficient to induce protective antibodies, and the paratose residue and/or the O-acetyl modifications on the backbone are important for recognition by antibodies elicited by a Qβ-tetrasaccharide conjugate. Immune sera provided excellent protection to mice from lethal challenge with Salmonella Paratyphi A, highlighting the potential of the synthetic glycan-based vaccine.     

Determination of Water Soluble Vitamins in Laboratory Animal Feeds by Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography

Seven water-soluble vitamins: thiamine hydrochloride (B₁), riboflavin hydrochloride (B₂), pyridoxine hydrochloride (B₆), calcium pantotenate (B₅), ascorbic acid (C), folic acid (B₉), and biotin (H, B₇) were separated using the micellar electrokinetic chromatographic (MEKC) method in a single run with the electrolyte solution consisting of 100 mM H₃BO₃, 5 mM Na₂B₄O₇, and 30 mM sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS). The separation was achieved within 8 min. and the detection was performed at 200 nm. The calibration graphs plotted with six concentrations of each vitamin were linear with the determination coefficient r > 0.999. The method was applied for quantification of vitamins B₁, B₂, B₅, B₆, B₉, C, and H in novel feed for laboratory animals. The sample preparation involved solid-phase extraction of the vitamins, used prior to the MEKC analysis. The attained precision level was good with the recoveries between 98.4% and 105.6%. The simplicity of the procedure should make it highly useful for feed quality control in husbandry and the animal feed industry.
