One-step, multiplexed fluorescence detection of microRNAs based on duplex-specific nuclease signal amplification

Traditional molecular beacons, widely applied for detection of nucleic acids, have an intrinsic limitation on sensitivity, as one target molecule converts only one beacon molecule to its fluorescent form. Herein, we take advantage of the duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) to create a new signal-amplifying mechanism, duplex-specific nuclease signal amplification (DSNSA), to increase the detection sensitivity of molecular beacons (Taqman probes). DSN nuclease is employed to recycle the process of target-assisted digestion of Taqman probes, thus, resulting in a significant fluorescence signal amplification through which one target molecule cleaves thousands of probe molecules. We further demonstrate the efficiency of this DSNSA strategy for rapid direct quantification of multiple miRNAs in biological samples. Our experimental results showed a quantitative measurement of sequence-specific miRNAs with the detection limit in the femtomolar range, nearly 5 orders of magnitude lower than that of conventional molecular beacons. This amplification strategy also demonstrated a high selectivity for discriminating differences between miRNA family members. Considering the superior sensitivity and specificity, as well as the multiplex and simple-to-implement features, this method promises a great potential of becoming a routine tool for simultaneously quantitative analysis of multiple miRNAs in tissues or cells, and supplies valuable information for biomedical research and clinical early diagnosis.

低压闪蒸液滴形态和温度变化的研究

将液滴在常压下突然置于低压环境中,液滴由最初的平衡状态变成过热状态,发生闪蒸.本文实验研究了低压闪蒸液滴内部形态和温度的变化,系统描述了液滴闪蒸过程中的各种形态变化,总结了稳态闪蒸和稳态结冰过程中环境压力和初始温度对温度变化的影响.实验结果表明液滴闪蒸分六种形态.稳态闪蒸中环境压力越低,液滴的最终温度也越低;液滴的初始温度越高,降到最低温度的时间越长.稳态结冰过程中,液滴初始温度增加,液滴结冰温度和结冰回升最高温度也随之增加;液滴的结冰温度和回升最高温度随环境压力的增高而减小.

Conservation laws,solitons, breather and rogue waves for the (2+1)-dimensional variable-coefficient Nizhnik–Novikov–Veselov system in an inhomogeneous medium

In this paper, we consider the (2+1)-dimensional variable-coefficient Nizhnik–Novikov–Veselov system in an inhomogeneous medium, which is the isotropic Lax integrable extension of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Infinitely-many conservation laws are constructed. N-soliton solutions in terms of the Wronskian are obtained via the Hirota method. Velocity and shape of the soliton can be influenced by those variable coefficients, while the amplitude of the soliton can not be affected. Collision between the two solitons is shown to be elastic. Breather wave solutions are constructed via the trilinear method. Such phenomena as the deceleration and compression of the breather waves are studied graphically. Rogue wave solutions are derived when the periods of the breather wave solutions go to the infinity. Separated and united composite rogue waves are discussed graphically.
