灯盏花素粉针剂在不同pH值溶媒中的稳定性观察

目的观察灯盏花素粉针剂在不同pH值溶液中的稳定性。方法在室温(20℃)下,将5%、10%葡萄糖注射液及0.9%氯化钠注射液的pH值调整为3.3、3.6、3.9、4.2后,再分别加入灯盏花素粉针剂,并采用紫外分光光度法在6 h内的不同时间取样测定其含量。结果灯盏花素粉针剂在溶液pH值为3.3时,含量下降很快;pH值为3.6、3.9时,含量下降变缓;pH值为4.2时,含量趋于稳定,无明显变化。结论影响灯盏花素粉针剂稳定性的主要因素是稀释溶媒的pH值。当pH值在3.3~3.6时,灯盏花素易产生浑浊沉淀现象,故建议临床不用葡萄糖注射液作灯盏花素粉针剂的稀释溶媒为好。

Studies on lidocaine-induced kindling.

Lidocaine HCl, injected 5 times weekly, produces pharmacological kindling in rats. The aims of the present study were to: 1) approximate the threshold dose for the effect in mice and 2) determine if injections given less frequently than 5 times weekly produces kindling. Mice were injected (IP) either 5 times weekly for 4 weeks or 2 times weekly for 10 weeks, with doses ranging from 30 to 50 mg/kg. Kindling was defined as the appearance of convulsions on each of 5 consecutive injections. The estimated threshold dose for kindling was approximately 40 mg/kg, as suggested by the observation that 2 of 8 and 8 of 8 mice were kindled at 40 and 50 mg/kg respectively when injected 5 times each week. Whether mice were injected (50 mg/kg) 5 times weekly, or, only twice weekly, 80% of them were kindled by the fifteenth injection. Thus, it would appear that pharmacological kindling might be as much a function of number of injections as it is of frequency of injections.     

Effects of pH and trace minerals on long-term starvation of Leuconostoc mesenteroides

Laboratory experiments have definitively shown that exopolymer-producing bacteria have the potential to modify the flow of fluids in oil reservoirs to enhance oil production. Once injected into the reservoir, they will be subjected to a wide range of pH values and to starvation resulting from nutrient depletion. For successful field implementation it is necessary to have a fundamental understanding of these effects on the viability of bacteria. This paper addresses the effects of pH and trace minerals on cell viability of Leuconostoc mesenteroides during carbon source depletion. Two different carbon sources were used to grow cells before transferring the cells to starvation conditions: sucrose and a combination of glucose and fructose. These substrates were chosen because L. mesenteroides produces a significant amount of water-insoluble exopolymers (dextran) under sucrose-fed conditions, which may enhance cell survival under harsh conditions. The effects of dextran on the cell viability were tested at different pH values with and without trace minerals. The rate of cell death followed an exponential-decay law for different values of the solution pH. The optimal solution pH for survival was pH 5, whereas cells died rapidly at pH 3 and below and at pH 13 and above. The sucrose-fed cells showed a greater viability than cells fed glucose and fructose for all pH ranges tested. The results indicated that water-insoluble exopolymers help cells survive for longer periods of time under starvation conditions. The effects of trace minerals on cell culturability were tested at two pH values, 4.5 and 7. For both cases, cells showed a greater culturability (smaller decay rate constant) in the presence of trace minerals than without trace minerals. It was also found that the effects of trace minerals on cell culturability were greater for glucose-fructose-fed cells than for sucrose-fed cells. The Michaelis pH function theory was used for comparing the relationships between the cell decay rate and pH.     

Diabetes mellitus modeling and short-term prediction based on blood glucose measurements

Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) is a chronic disease characterized by the inability of the pancreas to produce sufficient amounts of insulin. Daily compensation of the deficiency requires 4-6 insulin injections to be taken daily, the aim of this insulin therapy being to maintain normoglycemia - i.e., a blood glucose level between 4 and 7 mmol/l. To determine the quantity and timing of these injections, various different approaches are used. Currently, mostly qualitative and semi-quantitative models and reasoning are used to design such a therapy. Here, an attempt is made to show how system identification and control may be used to estimate predictive quantitative models to be used in design of optimal insulin regimens.The system was divided into three subsystems, the insulin subsystem, the glucose subsystem and the insulin-glucose interaction. The insulin subsystem aims to describe the absorption of injected insulin from the subcutaneous depots and the glucose subsystem the absorption of glucose from the gut following a meal. These subsystems were modeled using compartment models and proposed models found in the literature. Several black-box models and grey-box models describing the insulin/glucose interaction were developed and analyzed. These models were fitted to real data monitored by an IDDM patient. Many difficulties were encountered, typical of biomedical systems: Non-uniform and scarce sampling, time-varying dynamics and severe nonlinearities were some of the difficulties encountered during the modeling. None of the proposed models were able to describe the system accurately in all aspects during all conditions. However, all the linear models shared some dynamics. Based on the estimated models, short-term blood glucose predictors for up to two-hour-ahead blood glucose prediction were designed. Furthermore, we explored the issues that arise when applying prediction theory and control to short-term blood glucose prediction.     

CHANGES IN THE APPARENT CYTOPLASMIC HYDROGEN ION CONCENTRATION OF AMEBA DUBIA ON INJECTION OF EGG ALBUMIN

1. Egg albumin when injected into an ameba or discharged into the solution about it raises the apparent pH of the cytoplasm of the ameba. 2. With time the cytoplasm returns to the original pH 6.9 if the nucleus is present. Amebae that have received repeated injections of albumin in some cases extrude their nuclei. In these cells the cytoplasm remains at the more alkaline pH induced by the albumin for at least 12 hours. 3. When a 2 per cent solution of albumin is introduced into a suspension of amebae there is a temporary marked rise in the rate at which CO₂ is given off with no corresponding rise in O₂ uptake. 4. The results observed can be explained if the albumin discharged onto the surface of the ameba rapidly enters the cell and there becomes distributed in a phase of the cytoplasm other than the one which contains the phenol red.     

Glycogen overload by postexercise insulin administration abolished the exercise-induced increase in GLUT4 protein

Summary To elucidate the role of muscle glycogen storage on regulation of GLUT4 protein expression and whole-body glucose tolerance, muscle glycogen level was manipulated by exercise and insulin administration. Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were evenly separated into three groups: control (CON), immediately after exercise (EX0), and 16 h after exercise (EX16). Rats from each group were further divided into two groups: saline- and insulin-injected. The 2-day exercise protocol consisted of 2 bouts of 3-h swimming with 45-min rest for each day, which effectively depleted glycogen in both red gastrocnemius (RG) and plantaris muscles. EX0 rats were sacrificed immediately after the last bout of exercise on second day. CON and EX16 rats were intubated with 1 g/kg glucose solution following exercise and recovery for 16 h before muscle tissue collection. Insulin (0.5 μU/kg) or saline was injected daily at the time when glucose was intubated. Insulin injection elevated muscle glycogen levels substantially in both muscles above saline-injected group at CON and EX16. With previous day insulin injection, EX0 preserved greater amount of postexercise glycogen above their saline-injected control. In the saline-injected rats, EX16 significantly increased GLUT4 protein level above CON, concurrent with muscle glycogen supercompensation. Insulin injection for EX16 rats significantly enhanced muscle glycogen level above their saline-injected control, but the increases in muscle GLUT4 protein and whole-body glucose tolerance were attenuated. In conclusion, the new finding of the study was that glycogen overload by postexercise insulin administration significantly abolished the exercise-induced increases in GLUT4 protein and glucose tolerance.     

Effects of increased intracellular pH-buffering capacity on the light response of Limulus ventral photoreceptor.

Aspects of a possible involvement of hydrogen ions in the electrophysiological responses to light of Limulus ventral photoreceptors were investigated. A 1 M solution of either a zwitter-ionic pH buffer or a weakly-buffering control substance was pressure injected through a micropipette into a ventral photoreceptor cell. To estimate the amount injected, 35SO4 was included in the solution. Membrane currents induced by light flashes were measured by a voltage-clamp technique. The buffer-filled micropipette passed current and a 3M KCl filled micropipette monitored membrane voltage. The sensitivity (peak light-induced current/stimulus energy) was measured, after dark adaptation, before and after injection. Injections of buffers, pH 6.3-7.2, to intracellular concentrations of at least 40-200 mM produced only a small mean decrease in sensitivity, approximately equal to that caused by injections of control substances. Excitation, therefore, apparently is not mediated by a change in intracellular pH. Buffers with pH values 5.4-8.4 were also injected. The time to peak of the response depended on pH, being shortened by up to 20% at pH values below 7.7 and lengthened at higher pH values. The time to peak of the response appeared to be shortened by an increase in intracellular pH-buffering capacity even when there was no change in intracellular pH.     

A flow injection system, comprising a biosensor based on a screen-printed carbon electrode containing Meldola’s Blue-Reinecke salt coated with glucose dehydrogenase, for the measurement of glucose

A biosensor for the measurement of glucose in serum has been developed, based on a screen-printed carbon electrode modified with Meldola’s Blue-Reinecke salt, coated with the enzyme glucose dehydrogenase (from Bacillus sp.), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide coenzyme (NAD⁺). A cellulose acetate layer was deposited on top of the device to act as a permselective membrane. The biosensor was incorporated into a commercially available, thin-layer, amperometric flow cell operated at a potential of only +0.05 V versus Ag/AgCl. The mobile phase consisted of 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 0.1 M potassium chloride solution, and a flow rate of 0.8 ml min⁻¹ was used throughout the investigation. The biosensor response was linear over the range of 0.075-30 mM glucose, with the former representing the detection limit. The precision of the system was determined by carrying out 20 repeat injections of a 5-mM glucose standard, and the calculated coefficient of variation was 3.9%. It was demonstrated that this biosensor system could be applied to the direct measurement of glucose in serum without pretreatment. Therefore, this would allow high-throughput analysis, at low cost, for this clinically important analyte.

Aspects of a possible involvement of hydrogen ions in the electrophysiological responses to light of Limulus ventral photoreceptors were investigated. A I M solution of either a zwitter-ionic pH buffer or a weakly-buffering control substance was pressure injected through a micropipette into a ventral photoreceptor cell.

Glucose oxidase immobilized polyethylene-g-acrylic acid membrane for glucose oxidase sensor

A polyethylene-g-acrylic acid (PE-g-AA) graft copolymer was prepared via gamma-ray-irradiation-induced postirradiation procedures, and was used as support material for the immobilization of glucose oxidase. Soluble carbodiimides were used as the coupling agent. Reasonable yields were obtained with CMC but not with EDAC, EEDQ, or WRK. A number of factors were studied. (1) The use of water-soluble carbodiimides as condensing agent was attempted and the optimum condition for coupling glucose oxidase to PE-g-AA was established; (2) the effect of pH and temperature on the reactivity of native and immobilized glucose oxidase was studied. When exposed to temperatures in excess of 60 degrees C, the immobilized glucose oxidase was less sensitive to thermal inactivation than the native enzyme. The optimum pH value for the performance of the enzyme-immobilized membrane was 5. 6. For 200 tests, the response error of glucose sensor was less than 4% and its linear detected range was 0-1000 ppm. The obtained glucose oxidase-immobilized PE-g-AA membranes were kept in pH 5. 6 acetate buffer solution at 4 degrees C. The glucose oxidase activity of the membrane was determined at sevenday intervals. The membranes still have 92% glucose oxidase activity even after eight weeks of storage.     

Kinetics of the hydrolysis of cellobiose and p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucoside by cellobiase of Trichoderma viride.

Cellobiase has been isolated from the crude cellulase mixture of enzymes of Trichoderma viride using column chromatographic and ion-exchange methods. The steady-state kinetics of the hydrolysis of cellobiose have been investigated as a function of cellobiose and glucose concentrations, pH of the solution, temperature, and dielectric constant, using isopropanol-buffer mixtures. The results show that (i) there is a marked activation of the reaction by initial glucose concentrations of 4 X 10(-3) M to 9 X 10(-2) M and strong inhibition of the reaction at higher initial concentrations, (ii) the log rate -pH curve has a maximum at pH 5.2 and enzyme pK values of 3.5 and 6.8, (iii) the energy of activation at pH 5.1 is 10.2 kcal mol-1 over the temperature range 5-56 degrees C, and (iv) the rate decreases from 0 to 20% (v/v) isopropanol. The hydrolysis by cellobiase (EC 3.2.1.21) of p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucoside was examined by pre-steady-state methods in which [enzyme]0 greater than [substrate]0, and by steady-state methods as a function of pH and temperature. The results show (i) a value for k2 of 21 S-1 at pH 7.0 (where k2 is the rate constant for the second step in the assumed two-intermediate mechanism (formula: see text), (ii) a log rate -pH curve, significantly different from that for hydrolysis of cellobiose, in which the rate increases with decreasing pH below pH 4.5, is constant in the region pH 4.5-6, and decreases above pH 6 (exhibiting an enzyme pK value of 7.3), and (iii) an activation energy of 12.5 kcal mol-1 at pH 5.7 over the temperature range 10-60 degrees C.
