双奇核136La的集体带结构

通过重离子核反应与在束γ谱的实验技术, 对A=130缺中子核区的双奇核¹³⁶La的高自旋态进行了研究, 所用核反应为¹³⁰Te(¹¹B,5n). 实验结果扩展了¹³⁶La的能级纲图, 包括3个集体转动带, 最高自旋态达20h. 对于\uppi h_{11/2}\otimes \upnu h_{11/2}$~带, 观测到了旋称反转与集体回弯现象. 通过系统学比较, 对旋称反转特性进行了讨论. 由推转壳模型的计算指出, 此集体回弯是由一对中子的角动量顺排引起的. 另外两个集体带为具有~$\gamma\approx -60^\circ$~的扁椭形变带, 其可能的组态为: $\uppi h_{11/2}\otimes \upnu g_{7/2}h_{11/2}^2$~与~$\uppi g_{7/2}\otimes\upnu g_{7/2}^2 d_{5/2} h_{11/2}^2$.

Detection and recognition of cancer cells in vivo

A fundamentally new recognition method of bio-objects (e.g., cancer cells as the most important case of them) that escape the immune system supervision control is suggested. It is proposed to use a unified complex consisting of several molecular groups (e.g., antibodies or their fragments) bound with each other. Binding targets are localized on the surface of this bio-object. The choice of the targets is determined by antigen profiling being expressed on the surface of these bio-objects. The recognition efficiency appears to be notably higher than in a situation when molecular groups do not form a unified complex and act separately.     

In Vitro Effects of Sulforaphane on Interferon-Driven Inflammation and Exploratory Evaluation in Two Healthy Volunteers

Interferonopathies are rare genetic conditions defined by systemic inflammatory episodes caused by innate immune system activation in the absence of pathogens. Currently, no targeted drugs are authorized for clinical use in these diseases. In this work, we studied the contribution of sulforaphane (SFN), a cruciferous-derived bioactive molecule, in the modulation of interferon-driven inflammation in an immortalized human hepatocytes (IHH) line and in two healthy volunteers, focusing on STING, a key-component player in interferon pathway, interferon signature modulation, and GSTM1 expression and genotype, which contributes to SFN metabolism and excretion. In vitro, SFN exposure reduced STING expression as well as interferon signature in the presence of the pro-inflammatory stimulus cGAMP (cGAMP 3 h vs. SFN+cGAMP 3 h p value < 0.0001; cGAMP 6 h vs. SFN+cGAMP 6 h p < 0.001, one way ANOVA), restoring STING expression to the level of unstimulated cells. In preliminary experiments on healthy volunteers, no appreciable variations in interferon signature were identified after SFN assumption, while only in one of them, presenting the GSTM1 wild type genotype related to reduced SFN excretion, could a downregulation of STING be recorded. This study confirmed that SFN inhibits STING-mediated inflammation and interferon-stimulated genes expression in vitro. However, only a trend towards the downregulation of STING could be reproduced in vivo. Results obtained have to be confirmed in a larger group of healthy individuals and in patients with type I interferonopathies to define if the assumption of SFN could be useful as supportive therapy.     

基于拉曼光谱鉴定黑色签字笔笔迹的种类与书写时间

黑色签字笔字迹种类与书写时间的鉴定一直是国内外法庭科学研究领域的热点问题。基于拉曼光谱法的分辨率高、稳定性好、效率高以及无损检测等优点,对收集的16种品牌或牌号的黑色签字笔字迹样本进行测试。完成同一品牌或牌号同一时间在不同存储条件(暗室和光照)与不同纸张本底(复印纸和笔记本)字迹样本的制备。将样本字迹剪裁,双面胶固定在载玻片上,放入储存箱内避光保存,间隔一段时间对样品进行测试,测试工作共持续1年,形成图谱数据库。在考察实验条件如测量点、激光功率及共焦类型等因素影响的基础上,筛选出最佳条件。在此条件基础上,检测黑色签字笔在不同书写时间、储存环境、纸张本底等条件下的字迹样本。实验结果表明:(1)存储条件(暗室和光照)、纸张本底(复印纸和笔记本)等不同条件下,同种黑色签字笔字迹的拉曼位移相同,重复性好,受水和纸张等本底的干扰较小。(2)根据拉曼位移的差异可将16种黑色签字笔分成5类。(3)以2#样本为例, 1 140 cm^-1处拉曼光谱特征峰,归属为酯类化合物的C-O伸缩振动ν(CO)。酯类化合物的含量随着时间延长而不断减少,因此随着书写时间越久远,特征峰的相对强度越大(8→1)。通过拟合后计算出相对面积数值I,样本书写时间越早,I值越大,反之I值越小。研究结果可用于快速、准确、无损判定黑色签字笔字迹的种类和推断其相对书写时间。     

Development of a Genus-Universal Nucleotide Signature for the Identification and Supervision of Ephedra-Containing Products

Ephedra plants generally contain ephedrine alkaloids, which are the critical precursor compounds of methamphetamine (METH). METH could cause serious physical and mental damage, and therefore Ephedra materials are strictly in supervision internationally. However, unlawful utilization of Ephedra herbs and its products still exist. Thus, it is imperative to establish a universal method for monitoring Ephedra ingredients in complex mixtures and processed products. In this study, 224 ITS2 sequences representing 59 taxa within Ephedra were collected, and a 23-bp genus-level nucleotide signature (GTCCGGTCCGCCTCGGCGGTGCG) was developed for the identification of the whole genus. The specific primers MH-1F/1R were designed, and 125 individuals of twelve Ephedra species/varieties were gathered for applicability verification of the nucleotide signature. Additionally, seven batches of Chinese patent medicines containing Ephedra herbs were used to test the application of the nucleotide signature in complex and highly processed materials. The results demonstrated that the 23-bp molecular marker was unique to Ephedra and conserved within the genus. It can be successfully utilized for the detection of Ephedra components in complex preparations and processed products with severe DNA degradation. The method developed in this study could undoubtedly serve as a strong support for the supervision of illegal circulation of Ephedra-containing products.     

Elemental Chemometrics as Tools to Depict Stalked Barnacle (Pollicipes pollicipes) Harvest Locations and Food Safety

The stalked barnacle Pollicipes pollicipes is an abundant species on the very exposed rocky shore habitats of the Spanish and Portuguese coasts, constituting also an important economical resource, as a seafood item with high commercial value. Twenty-four elements were measured by untargeted total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (TXRF) in the edible peduncle of stalked barnacles sampled in six sites along the Portuguese western coast, comprising a total of 90 individuals. The elemental profile of 90 individuals originated from several geographical sites (N = 15 per site), were analysed using several chemometric multivariate approaches (variable in importance partial least square discriminant analysis (VIP-PLS-DA), stepwise linear discriminant analysis (S-LDA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), random forests (RF) and canonical analysis of principal components (CAP)), to evaluate the ability of each approach to trace the geographical origin of the animals collected. As a suspension feeder, this species introduces a high degree of background noise, leading to a comparatively lower classification of the chemometric approaches based on the complete elemental profile of the peduncle (canonical analysis of principal components and linear discriminant analysis). The application of variable selection approaches such as the VIP-PLS-DA and S-LDA significantly increased the classification accuracy (77.8% and 84.4%, respectively) of the samples according to their harvesting area, while reducing the number of elements needed for this classification, and thus the background noise. Moreover, the selected elements are similar to those selected by other random and non-random approaches, reinforcing the reliability of this selection. This untargeted analytical procedure also allowed to depict the degree of risk, in terms of human consumption of these animals, highlighting the geographical areas where these delicacies presented lower values for critical elements compared to the standard thresholds for human consumption.     

Certificateless signature and proxy signature schemes from bilinear pairings

Due to avoiding the inherent escrow of identity-based cryptography and yet not requiring certificates to guarantee the authenticity of public keys, certificateless public key cryptography has received a significant attention. Due to various applications of bilinear pairings in cryptography, numerous pairing-based encryption schemes, signature schemes, and other cryptographic primitives have been proposed. In this paper, a new certificateless signature scheme based on bilinear pairings is presented. The signing algorithm of the proposed scheme is very simple and does not require any pairing computation. Combining our signature scheme with certificateless public key cryptography yields a complete solution of certificateless public key system. As an application of the proposed signature scheme, a certificateless proxy signature scheme is also presented. We analyze both schemes from security point of view.__________Published in Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, Vol. 45, No. 1, pp. 95–103, January–March, 2005.
