Fractogel EMD“触角型”阴离子交换介质用于病毒纯化和去除

Fractogel EMD是合成的聚甲基丙烯酸酯树脂，十几个官能团排布在线形聚合物长链上，称为“触角”，所有的“触角”都是通过共价键结合到聚合物骨架上，生物分子更加容易和“触角型”介质的官能团结合，并且可以大大降低生物分子和介质基质的非特异性相互作用，提高生物分子的回收率。     

科研快讯

PNAS:科学家开发出新型的流感可吸入疫苗近日,一篇发表于国际杂志Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences上的研究论文中,来自北卡罗来纳州立大学的研究人员利用纳米颗粒开发出了一种制造可吸入疫苗的新技术,该研究或可用于靶向治疗肺部特异性疾病,比如流感、肺炎和肺结核。文章中,研究者Cathy Fromen表示,这种颗粒的表面电荷在刺激肺部免疫反应上扮演着重要角色,利用非润湿模板粒子复制技术(PRINT),我们就可以对装载蛋白的颗粒表面的电荷进行特异性修饰,同时也可以避免其它颗粒特性的破坏,这就表明,PRINT技术具有独立修饰纳米颗粒     

The relationship between the reduction of nonstructural carbohydrate induced by defoliator and the growth and mortality of trees

Large scale herbivorous insect outbreaks can cause death of regional forests, and the events are expected to be exacerbated with climate change. Mortality of forest and woodland plants would cause a series of serious consequences, such as decrease in vegetation production, shifts in ecosystem structure and function, and transformation of forest function from a net carbon sink into a net carbon source. There is thus a need to better understand the impact of insects on trees. Defoliation by insect pests mainly reduces photosynthesis (source decrease) and increases carbon consumption (sink increase), and hence causes reduction of nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC). When the reduction in NSC reaches to a certain level, trees would die of carbon starvation. External environment and internal compensatory mechanisms can also positively or negatively influence the process of tree death. At present, the research of carbon starvation is a hotspot because the increase of tree mortality globally with climate change, and carbon starvation is considered as one of the dominating physiological mechanisms for explaining tree death. In this study, we reviewed the definition of carbon starvation, and the relationships between the reduction of NSC induced by defoliation and the growth and death of trees, and the relationships among insect outbreaks, leaf loss and climate change. We also presented the potential directions of future studies on insect-caused defoliation and tree mortality.

基于矿物元素指纹分析技术的中国北方大豆产地溯源研究

目的：寻找中国北方相似地域大豆产地的溯源特性指标，以提高矿物元素指纹分析技术在大豆产地溯源方面应用的准确性和稳定性。方法：利用电感耦合等离子体质谱法测定来自中国东北和西北地区5个主要大豆主产省区的159份大豆样品中12种矿物元素（Mg、Al、P、K、Ca、Mn、Fe、Ni、Cu、Zn、Rb、Sr）的含量。结果：利用主成分分析对大豆产地进行初步分类，但除黑龙江外，其他产地并不能进行良好地区分，进一步利用多层感知器建立产地分类模型。训练子集、测试子集和保持子集的正确预测率分别为100.0%、92.3%和94.4%，可有效地对中国北方地区5个产地进行分类。结论：本研究可为我国大豆产地溯源体系的建立提供科学依据。
