芦丁对血清白蛋白构象的影响

用同步荧光光谱法和圆二色谱法研究了芦丁对牛血清白蛋白(BSA)和人血清白蛋白(HSA)构象和功能的影响,同时用电化学方法研究了芦丁与血清白蛋白之间的结合作用。在体内随着芦丁浓度的增加,其与血清白蛋白结合时对血清白蛋白的构象无影响,但对血清白蛋白的二级结构有影响,导致α-螺旋结构减少,β-折叠结构增加,蛋白质的二级结构被破坏。电化学研究发现：芦丁的氧化还原电流随着血清白蛋白浓度的增加而明显降低, 表明芦丁与血清白蛋白发生反应,生成比较稳定的复合物。芦丁的氧化还原最大峰电位也随着血清白蛋白浓度的增加发生变化,峰电位差略增加,表明芦丁的氧化还原性随着血清白蛋白浓度的增加而增强。进一步证明芦丁在体内能够被血清白蛋白存储和转运。     

In Vitro and In Vivo Human Body Odor Analysis Method Using GO:PANI/ZNRs/ZIF−8 Adsorbent Followed by GC/MS

Among various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from human skin, trans-2-nonenal, benzothiazole, hexyl salicylate, α-hexyl cinnamaldehyde, and isopropyl palmitate are key indicators associated with the degrees of aging. In our study, extraction and determination methods of human body odor are newly developed using headspace-in needle microextraction (HS-INME). The adsorbent was synthesized with graphene oxide:polyaniline/zinc nanorods/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (GO:PANI/ZNRs/ZIF−8). Then, a wire coated with the adsorbent was placed into the adsorption kit to be directly exposed to human skin as in vivo sampling and inserted into the needle so that it was able to be desorbed at the GC injector. The adsorption kit was made in-house with a 3D printer. For the in vitro method, the wire coated with the adsorbent was inserted into the needle and exposed to the headspace of the vial. When a cotton T-shirt containing body odor was transferred to a vial, the headspace of the vial was saturated with body odor VOCs. After volatile organic compounds were adsorbed in the dynamic mode, the needle was transferred to the injector for analysis of the volatile organic compounds by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The conditions of adsorbent fabrication and extraction for body odor compounds were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). In conclusion, it was able to synthesize GO:PANI/ZNRs/ZIF−8 at the optimal condition and applicable to both in vivo and in vitro methods for body odor VOCs analysis.

As(Ⅲ)和As(Ⅴ)与牛血清白蛋白的结合平衡研究

在模拟动物体生理条件下,研究As(Ⅲ)和As(V)与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)的相互作用.用氢化物发生-超低温捕集-原子吸收分光光度法测定平衡透析后As(Ⅲ)或As(V)的浓度,用Scatchard方法分别处理实验数据,确定结合部位和结合常数.发现当As(Ⅲ)浓度(cAs(Ⅲ)∶cBSA≤1∶1)较低时,在BSA中有1.3个强结合部位,结合常数为1.7×106,为强结合;当As(Ⅲ)的浓度(cAs(Ⅲ)∶cBSA≥2∶1)较高时,没有明显的特征结合点,表现为弱结合.而As(V)与BSA无任何结合作用.     

荧光猝灭法和动态光散射法研究1-丙醇和2-丙醇对水溶液中蛋白质构象的影响

应用荧光猝灭法和动态光散射技术测定牛血清白蛋白(BSA)与荧光素在正丙醇-水和异丙醇-水混合溶剂中的相互作用距离和BSA的流体动力学半径, 研究正丙醇和异丙醇对水溶液中蛋白质构象的影响. 结果显示, 正丙醇-水和异丙醇-水混合溶剂中BSA与荧光素的相互作用距离和BSA的流体动力学半径随着正丙醇和异丙醇浓度的增加而先减小后增大, 表明低浓度的正丙醇和异丙醇有利于蛋白质形成紧密的构象, 而较高浓度的正丙醇和异丙醇则破坏蛋白质的紧密构象. 试验中观察到BSA与荧光素在正丙醇-水混合溶剂中的结合距离大于同浓度的异丙醇-水混合溶剂中的结合距离, 而BSA在前者的流体动力学半径小于后者, 说明无支链的正丙醇分子易于与蛋白质的疏水基团产生较强的疏水相互作用, 而带支链的异丙醇分子的疏水性较弱, 有利于与蛋白质分子的亲水基团相互作用而积聚在蛋白质表面.

Highly sensitive,stretchable and durable strain sensors based on conductive double-network polymer hydrogels

Hydrogel-based strain sensors have been attracting immense attention for wearable electronic devices owing to their intrinsic soft characteristics and flexibility. However, developing hydrogel sensors with hightensile strength, stretchability, and strain sensitivity remains a great challenge. Herein, we report a technique to synthesize highly sensitive hydrogel-based strain sensors by integrating carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with a double-network (DN) polymer hydrogel matrix comprising of a physically cross-linked agar network and a covalently cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAAm) network. The resultant nanocomposite sensors display superior piezoresistive sensitivity with a hightrue gauge factor (GF_T = 1.78) at an ultrahigh strain of 1,000%, a fast response time and linear correlation of ln(R/R₀) and ln(L/L₀) up to 1,000% strain. Most significantly, these sensors possess highmechanical strength (~0.6 MPa) and superb durability (>1,000 cycles at strain of 100%), stemming from the effective energy dissipation mechanism of the first agar network acting as sacrificial bonds and the CNFs serving as dynamic nanofillers. The combination of highstrain sensitivity and ultrahigh stretchability of hydrogel sensors makes it possible to sense both small mechanical deformations induced by human motions and large strain up to 1,000%.     

Fusing Stretchable Sensing Technology with Machine Learning for Human–Machine Interfaces

Sensors and algorithms are two fundamental elements to construct intelligent systems. The recent progress in machine learning (ML) has produced great advancements in intelligent systems, owing to the powerful data analysis capability of ML algorithms. However, the performance of most systems is still hindered by sensing techniques that typically rely on rigid and bulky sensor devices, which cannot conform to irregularly curved and dynamic surfaces for high-quality data acquisition. Skin-like stretchable sensing technology with unique characteristics, such as high conformability, low modulus, and light weight, has been recently developed to solve this issue. Here, the recent progress in the fusion of emerging stretchable electronics and ML technology, for bioelectrical signal recognition, tactile perception, and multimodal integration is summarized, and the challenges and future developments are further discussed. These efforts aim to accelerate various perception and reasoning tasks for advanced intelligent applications, such as human–machine interfaces, healthcare, and robotics.     

Analysis of plasma migration components in Patrinia villosa (Thunb.) Juss. effective parts by UPLC–Q-TOF–MS

Patrinia villosa (Thunb.) Juss. (PVJ) is described as pungent, bitter and slightly cold in Chinese medicine, and is associated with the large intestine, stomach and liver meridians. The preliminary experiments of our research team proved that PVJ total flavonoids have excellent inhibitory effects on liver cancer cells. The present experiment uses the UPLC–Q-TOF–MS technology and serum pharmacochemistry methods to analyze the chemical components in vitro and in vivo of PVJ antiliver tumors. A total of 14 chemical components were identified in the total flavonoids extract of PVJ, and it is mainly composed of flavonoids, flavonones, flavonols and phenolic acids. At the same time, seven prototypical components and seven metabolic components were detected in the drug-containing plasma. Hydrocaffeate and scutellarein are the phase I metabolites of caffeic acid and scutellarin, respectively. Sulfated apigenin, sulfated luteolin, sulfated kaempferol and methylated kaempferol are the II phase metabolites of apigenin, luteolin, kaempferol, respectively. The experiment provides a reference for the research and development of antitumor drug candidates, and provides a basis for revealing the bioactive components of PVJ and the antitumor mechanism.
