利用主成分分析法分析乳腺癌术后患者的血清表面增强拉曼光谱

为了探寻一种利用血清光谱检测诊断乳腺癌术后复发转移的方法,研究分析了10例乳腺癌术后复发转移患者与10例乳腺癌术后复查正常患者的血清表面增强拉曼光谱特征。首先从两组血清表面增强拉曼光谱特征峰的位移与峰强的变化上进行比较,发现其分子结构发生变化,脂类的有序性,糖质环境都发生了改变。然后基于Matlab,采用主成分分析法（Principal Component Analysis,PCA）,对上述两组患者血清的表面增强拉曼光谱的13个指标进行分析,发现区分两组患者的效果可以达到95%左右。

本研究采用以金纳米粒子为增强基底的表面增强拉曼光谱技术对31位食道癌患者的62例食道组织样本进行分析,其中包含31例肿瘤组织与31例正常组织.食道癌组织和正常组织表面增强拉曼光谱之间存在明显差异.利用主成分分析和线性判别分析算法对采集的组织表面增强拉曼光谱进行诊断研究.利用主成分分析-线性判别分析统计分析方法得到诊断灵敏度与特异性分别为90.3%与90.3%.为验证所构建的主成分分析-线性判别分析算法的有效性,利用受试样品的工作特征曲线方法,对所构建的算法的有效性进行评价.通过对组织表面增强拉曼光谱谱峰归属分析可知,癌组织中蛋白质结构可能发生变化,磷脂质的相对含量下降;而氨基化合物、组蛋白、苯基丙氨酸和酪氨酸的相对含量出现上升.研究表明,以金纳米粒子为增强基底的表面增强拉曼光谱技术结合主成分分析-线性判别分析统计分析方法能够准确区分食道癌患者肿瘤与正常组织.食道癌组织表面增强拉曼光谱技术有望成为一种食道癌的临床诊断与筛查工具.

NIR-SERS技术结合统计分析结直肠癌氧合血红蛋白

基于一种新型、高效近红外表面增强拉曼散射(NIR-SERS)基底,检测了20例健康人和16例结直肠癌患者氧合血红蛋白NIR-SERS光谱。对比发现,结直肠癌患者和健康人氧合血红蛋白NIR-SERS光谱之间存在明显差异。通过谱峰归属分析,发现结直肠癌患者氧合血红蛋白中吡咯环和乙烯基团的振动模式、数量和构象发生了一定的变化,尤其是吡咯环的对称呼吸振动和乙烯集团的反对称伸缩振动模式的数量比健康人要少很多,这些变化很可能是结直肠癌患者组织出现变异以及体内杂乱的新陈代谢引起。利用统计分析方法诊断结直肠癌的特异性与灵敏度分别为85.0%和93.8%,为验证利用统计方法的可靠性,使用受试样品的工作特征曲线方法进行评价。研究表明NIR-SERS光谱技术结合统计分析方法有望发展成为一种新型的结直肠癌临床诊断工具。

基于光镊与拉曼光谱的红菇担孢子分析

拉曼光谱作为分子振动光谱,具有无损、无需试剂染色和快速方便的特点,在生物学领域的应用越来越广泛。拉曼镊子是光镊与拉曼光谱的结合,应用拉曼镊子技术收集单个红菇担孢子的拉曼光谱,分析单个担孢子的主要成分,不同的储存方法对担孢子成分的影响等。结果发现,单个担孢子的拉曼光谱反映了担孢子内含物的基本组成,红菇担孢子的孢内主要成分是脂类物质;不同种类的红菇担孢子的拉曼光谱基本相同,经过多年保存的孢子仍然保持其孢子内的主要成分不变。各随机选择10个担孢子的拉曼光谱进行主成分(PCA)判别分析,结果显示红菇属内不同种类的孢子无法区分。结果表明单孢子拉曼光谱可以应用于分析孢子内成分的变化,但应用于真菌分类的可能性有待进一步探索。

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.
