Preparation and Characterization of the Fluorescent Carbon Dots Derived from the Lithium‐Intercalated Graphite used for Cell Imaging

Zero‐dimensional fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) that are used as a cell‐imaging reagent are prepared by using a simple and effective route employing lithium‐intercalated graphite from lithium‐ion batteries as a carbon source. Under ultrasonic exfoliation, the interlayer space increases, while the layer distortion and remaining lithium of the lithium‐intercalated graphite are utilized to disrupt the graphitic structure and produce the CD suspension. Subsequently, after concentration and purification, the obtained colloidal CD suspension has a fluorescent yield of up to 1.2% and is therefore comparable to the CDs prepared in previous reports. These CD products are water‐soluble, nanosized (approximately 3.5 nm), and biocompatible and can easily enter into HeLa cells to act as a cell‐imaging reagent without any further functionalization. In addition, these CDs do not impose toxicity against HeLa cells and have high photostability with low photobleaching and demonstrate potential applications for bio‐labeling as well as solution state optoelectronics.     

Control and Optimization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Clostridium tyrobutyricum</Emphasis> ATCC 25755 Adhesion into Fibrous Matrix in a Fibrous Bed Bioreactor

The great performance of a fibrous bed bioreactor (FBB) is mainly dependent on the cell adhesion and immobilization into the fibrous matrix. Therefore, understanding the mechanism and factors controling cell adhesion in the fibrous matrix is necessary to optimize the FBB setup and further improve the fermentability. The adhesion behavior of a strain of Clostridium tyrobutyricum isolated from an FBB was studied, which was proven to be affected by the different environmental conditions, such as growth phase of cells, pH, ionic strength, ionic species, and composition of media. Our results also suggested that electrostatic interactions played an important role on bacteria adhesion into the fibrous matrix. This study demonstrated that the compositions of fermentation broth would have a significant effect on cell adhesion. Consequently, a two-stage glucose supply control strategy was developed to improve the performance of FBB with higher viable cell density in the operation of the FBB setup.     

Synthesis of 3,5-Dichloro-4-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl Containing 1,2,3-Thiadiazole Derivatives via Ugi Reaction and Their Biological Activities

A series of novel 3,5‐dichloro‐4‐(1,1,2,2‐tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl containing 4‐methyl‐1,2,3‐thiadiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized via Ugi reaction. Their structures were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and high‐resolution mass spectroscopy. The preliminary bioassay results indicated that some title compounds had good fungicide activity at 50 µg/mL; most of the compounds presented a certain degree of direct inhibition activity, good inactivation and curative activity against tobacco mosaic virus at 500 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL; some compounds showed good larvicidal activity against Plutella xylostella L. at 200 µg/mL and excellent larvicidal activities against Culex pipiens pallens at 2 µg/mL.     

TG-FTIR, Py-two-dimensional GC–MS with heart-cutting and LC–MS/MS to reveal hydrocyanic acid formation mechanisms during glycine pyrolysis

To elucidate the formation process of HCN from the pyrolysis of glycine, the small molecule gaseous pyrolysates, H₂O, NH₃, CO₂, CO, HNCO, and HCN, were analyzed in real-time by TG-FTIR. The appearance of the volatile pyrolysis products and the solid residue was determined in real-time at their corresponding formation temperatures by online Py-two-dimensional GC–MS with heart-cutting and LC–MS/MS. The pyrolysis of 2,5-diketopiperazine, a thermolytic by-product of glycine pyrolysis, was also studied. The results showed that: (1) the pyrolysis of glycine can be divided into three temperature ranges 200–300, 300–440, and 440–900 °C; HCN forms in each range with three peaks appearing at 273, 422, and 763 °C, respectively. (2) The mechanistic pathways of HCN formation from glycine in the low- and high-temperature heating stages are different. Below 273 °C, glycine undergoes a decarboxylation reaction to produce methylamine, which subsequently forms HCN by means of dehydrogenation. Above 300 °C, glycine gives relatively large amounts of HCN via 2,5-diketopiperazine and subsequent HNCO or methylenimine formation.     

Effects of electrolytes on the fabrication of three‐dimensional nanoporous gold films by a rapid anodic potential step method for SERS

A unique one‐step anodic potential step strategy has been developed recently by our group to fabricate a three‐dimensional (3D) nanoporous gold film (NPGF) within 1 min as an efficient surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrate. Gloria et al. (J. Electroanal. Chem. 2011, 656, 114–119) demonstrated that the prepared NPGF under optimum conditions (2 M HCl, 50 s) has higher SERS intensities than that of a commercial single‐use gold substrate. However, the SERS performance of 3D NPGFs fabricated in neutral KCl by this strategy have not been investigated. In this paper, SERS performances of the NPGFs fabricated in electrolytes of KCl and HCl are compared for the first time, using pyridine as a test molecule. Equivalent SERS intensities can be obtained on the 3D NPGFs prepared in these two electrolytes under respectively optimum conditions. The results suggest that hot spots of nanogaps and crevices because of the aggregation/coalescence of gold nanoparticles and the formation/removal of thin gold oxide coatings contribute greatly to the high SERS activity.

碳离子辐照对神经胶质瘤干细胞杀伤的研究

虽然重离子束治癌已经被证明有着射程精确、入口坪区剂量小、相对生物学效应高等显著优点,但重离子辐照对肿瘤干细胞所产生的辐射生物学效应特性依旧不明确。本研究使用人源神经胶质瘤干细胞来研究在面对肿瘤干细胞时,重离子相对于传统X射线是否有明显的生物学优势。实验结果证明,在神经胶质瘤干细胞中,2 Gy碳离子造成的DNA损伤的修复率比X射线造成的损伤修复率要低;MTT实验则证明经过碳离子辐照的肿瘤干细胞活力要比X射线辐照的肿瘤干细胞低得多。综上所述,面对神经胶质瘤干细胞,碳离子能更有效地靶向肿瘤干细胞从而相对于传统X射线有明显的生物学优势。这些发现对于更好地理解重离子束治癌相关的生物学效应有重要的作用。Though heavy-ion therapy has demonstrated significant benefits such as well-defined range, small entrance dose and high relative biological effectiveness, the characteristics of radio-biological effects on cancer stem cells induced by heavy-ion treatment is not completely clear. In this paper, we used human glioma cancer stem cells to investigate whether heavy ions offered a biological advantage, by effectively targeting cancer stem cells, in comparison to conventional X-rays. Our results showed that the repair rate of DNA damage generated by 2 Gy of carbon ions was lower than that generated by X-rays in glioma stem cells. MTT assay showed that the viability of cancer stem cells irradiated by carbon ions was significant lower than that irradiated by X-rays. Taken together, carbon ions showed a biological advantage over X-rays by effectively targeting glioma cancer stem cells. These findings have significant importance in understanding the biological effects related to heavy-ion therapy.
