3D打印微流控芯片技术研究进展

近年来,微流控技术在生命科学和医学诊断等领域得到广泛的应用,显示出了其在检测速度、精度以及试剂损耗等方面相比传统方法的显著优势.然而,使用从半导体加工技术继承而来的微加工技术制作微流控芯片具有比较高的资金和技术门槛,在一定程度上阻碍了微流控技术的推广和应用.近年来随着3D打印技术的兴起,越来越多的研究者尝试使用3D打印技术加工微流控芯片.相比于传统的微加工技术,3D打印微流控芯片技术显示出了其设计加工快速、材料适应性广、成本低廉等优势.本文针对近年来国内外在3D打印微流控芯片领域的最新进展进行了综述,着重介绍了采用微立体光刻、熔融沉积成型以及喷墨打印等3D打印技术加工制作微流控芯片的方法,以及这些微流控芯片在分析化学、生命科学、医学诊断等领域的应用,并对3D打印微流控芯片技术未来的发展进行了展望.     

一种同时分辨识别Zn2+和F-离子的双功能探针

由8-甲酰基-7-羟基香豆素与碳酰肼经一步缩合反应可制得探针1。研究发现,探针1对Zn²⁺和F^-离子均呈现荧光增强和比率比色的高灵敏和高选择性响应,检出限低至10^-8 mol·L^-1。通过光谱、ITC、¹H NMR滴定及质谱分析,详细地研究了探针与离子形成的配合物性质。在不同的介质中,探针不仅同时表现出对金属阳离子Zn²⁺和对阴离子F^-的识别,而且吸收和发射波长均有显著的差异：1-Zn²⁺配合物的最大吸收波长为360 nm,而1-F^-配合物为400 nm;1-Zn²⁺配合物的荧光激发和发射波长分别为360和454 nm,而1-F^-配合物分别为400和475 nm。此外,探针1还能应用于活体PC3细胞中Zn²⁺的荧光成像。

Tetraarsenic Tetrasulfide Induced Colon Cancer ls174t Cells Apoptosis

To explore the functional mechanism of tetraarsenic tetrasulfide(As4S4)against the growth and proliferation of colon cancer cells ls174t,MTT method was used to observe the functions of tetraarsenic tetrasulfide for the inhibition of cells ls174t in vitro.Transmission electron microscope was used to observe cell morphologies.FCM assay was performed to measure the change of cell cycle.RT-PCR method was used to detect the expressions of bcl-2 and bax mRNA.Westernblot method was used to detect the expressions of bcl-2 and bax protein.Tetraarsenic tetrasulfide showed an inhibiting effect on the proliferation of cells ls174t in vitro(P＜0.01).It induces the apoptosis of cells ls174t,which is related to the decrease in the expression of bcl-2 and the increase in the expression of bax.     

Characterization of Wave Dispersion in Viscoelastic Cellular Assemblies by Doublet Mechanics

Using the Voigt model, we analyze wave propagation in viscoelastic granular media with a monatomic lattice, planar simple cubic package and cubical-tetrahedral assembly within the context of doublet mechanics. Microstrains of elongation between the doublet particles are considered in the models. Wave dispersive relations are derived from dynamic equations of the particles involved in the media, and phase velocities and attenuations of the dispersive waves are obtained for the different assemblies. Variations in these dispersion characteristics are analyzed with the changes of cell interval, modulus, and wave frequency. The relations between micro-constants and macro-parameters are presented under the condition of non-scale continuity of the media.
