老年牙周炎患者外周血NK细胞活性的研究

测定老年牙周炎患者外周血ＮＫ细胞活性。采用ＭＴＴ法测定,并与成年和青少年牙周炎患者进行比较。发现老年牙周炎患者外周血ＮＫ细胞活性低于成年牙周炎患者（Ｐ＜０．０１）,也低于青少年牙周炎患者（Ｐ＜０．０５）。老年牙周炎患者ＮＫ细胞活性低下可能是老年人牙周病发病率高,组织破坏重的原因之一。

针刺对胸内肿瘤化学疗法中自由基等指标的影响

恶性肿瘤的化学疗法会产生自由基升高和白细胞数目降低等副作用,临床表现恶心、呕吐、厌食、疲乏等症状。 本文应用针刺“足三里”、“阴陵泉”、“内关”等穴位配合化学疗法,结果血中脂质过氧化物(LPO)降低,白细胞增多、消化道症状和疲乏感降低,这说明针刺疗法可作为化学疗法的重要支持手段。 针刺降低自由基的原理估计是激发了体内降解酶的作用。     

Direct Electrochemistry of Multi‐Copper Oxidases at Carbon Nanotubes Noncovalently Functionalized with Cellulose Derivatives

This study describes the direct electron transfer of multi‐copper oxidases, i.e., laccase (from Trametes versicolor) and bilirubin oxidase (BOD, from Myrothecium verrucaria) at multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) noncovalently functionalized with biopolymers of cellulose derivatives, i.e., hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), methyl cellulose (MC), and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The functionalization of the MWNTs with the cellulose derivatives is found to substantially solubilize the MWNTs into aqueous media and to avoid their aggregation on electrode surface. Under anaerobic conditions, the redox properties of laccase and BOD are difficult to be defined with cyclic voltammetry at either laccase/MWNT‐modified or BOD/MWNT‐modified electrodes. The direct electron transfer properties of laccase and BOD are thus studied in terms of the bioelectrocatalytic activities of the laccase/MWNT‐modified and BOD/MWNT‐modified electrodes toward the reduction of oxygen and found to be facilitated at the functionalized MWNTs. The possible application of the laccase‐catalyzed O₂ reduction at the laccase/MWNT‐modified electrode is illustrated by constructing a CNT‐based ascorbate/O₂ biofuel cell with the MWNT‐modified electrode as the anode for the oxidation of ascorbate biofuel.     

KINETICS OF IRREVERSIBLE MODIFICATION OF ENZYME ACTIVITY IN A SYSTEM OF COUPLED ENZYME ASSAY (Ⅱ)——BOTH PRIMARY AND AUXILIARY ENZYMES MODIFIED BY REAGENT Y

Following the previous paperr, we examined the kinetics of the irreversible modification of enzyme activity in coupled assay when the modifier reacted with both primary and auxiliary enzymes. It was shown that Tsou's kinetic method can also be used in the present situation in some conditions.     

Production of α-keto acids Part I. Immobilized cells ofTrigonopsis variabilis containing D-amino acid oxidase

Whole cells ofTrigonopsis variabilis were immobilized by entrapment in Ca²⁺-alginate and used for the production of α-keto acids from the corresponding D-amino acids. The D-amino acid oxidase within the immobilized cells has a broad substrate specificity. Hydrogen peroxide formed in the enzymatic reaction was efficiently hydrolyzed by manganese oxide co-immobilized with the cells. The amino acid oxidase activity was assayed with a new method based on reversed-phase HPLC. Oxygen requirements, bead size, concentration of cells in the beads, flow rate, and other factors were investigated in a “ trickle-bed ” reactor.     

Optimization and development of a high-performance liquid chromatography-based one-site immunometric assay with chemiluminescence detection

Various practical and theoretical considerations were examined in the creation and optimization of a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based one-site immunometric assay. This method used an HPLC analyte analog column and post-column chemiluminescence detection. The specific analyte chosen as the model for this study was l-thyroxine (also known as T₄). In this technique, a sample containing thyroxine was first combined with an excess of anti-T₄ antibody Fab fragments that had earlier been conjugated with chemiluminescent acridinium ester labels. After incubation, the mixture was injected onto a column that contained immobilized T₄. The amount of thyroxine in the original sample was then determined by measuring the labeled Fab fragments that appeared in the non-retained fraction, or the decrease in excess Fab fragments that were bound to and later eluted from the column. Items considered in creating this assay included the preparation of acridinium ester-labeled Fab fragments, the detection of these fragments with a post-column reactor, and the creation of a suitable immobilized analog column for capturing excess labeled Fab fragments. The final method could measure T₄ in standards at clinically-relevant concentrations and provided a response within 1.5 min of sample injection, following a 20-45 min incubation with the labeled Fab fragments. Possible applications of this method include its use in clinical chemistry and the screening of proteomic or combinatorial libraries.     

High performance liquid chromatography assay for alanine amino transferase

Summary An improved method of alanine-amino transferase determination is proposed. The reaction is carried out with alanine and 2-oxoglutarate as substrates and analysis is by HPLC on a reversed-phase chromatographic system using a C₁₈ column and tetrabutylammonium phosphate in phosphate buffer (pH 7.0)-acetonitrile as mobile phase. The enzyme activity was determined by directly following the formation of pyruvic acid without employing any secondary reaction, which is necessary in the spectrophotometric method. The detection limit of pyruvic acid is 10 pmole l^–1 and the standard deviation for the enzymatic activity of standard solutions is 5.4%. Furthermore under the chromatographic conditions selected it is possible to detect the presence of some intermediate species.Work supported by National Research Council of Italy.

CO2监测分析仪在监测过程中对桥室温度的恒温控制

CO2监测分析仪在监测过程中,CO2监测值的精度是由CO2监测分析仪的桥室参比温度是否恒定而决定的.老式监测分析仪桥室温度是采用断续的双位恒温调节,其温度调节误差大,一般只能在±1℃左右,所以CO2监测值的精度低.采用微机交流调压的CO2监测分析仪桥室恒温调节,其温度调节器采用PID调节,使桥室温度误差可控制在±0.2℃,提高了CO2监测值的监测精度.
