C群奈瑟氏脑膜炎球菌荚膜多糖-TT结合疫苗的制备及其在小鼠体内免疫原性的研究

将C群脑膜炎球菌荚膜多糖以ADH作为间隔剂与TT结合形成GCMP-TT结合疫苗,然后用此结合疫苗免疫NIH小鼠,结果显示使用GCMP免疫小鼠后仅能产生较低水平抗GCMP的IgG抗体,而用GCMP-TT免疫后小鼠血清中产生了较GCMP免疫显著增高抗GCMP的IgG抗体,并且GCMP-TT组第二次和第三次免疫后与初次免疫相比,IgG抗体水平均有显著升高(P<0.01),表明GCMP-TT结合疫苗具有免疫记忆和再次免疫加强应答效应。补体介导的血清抗体体外杀菌试验结果证明,GCMP-TT结合疫苗组免疫小鼠诱导的抗体IgG比GCMP组具有增强的体外杀菌活性。

纽蛋白在神经干细胞定向分化为神经元过程中的表达及其与辅肌动蛋白的关系

目的探讨纽蛋白(vinculin)在新生大鼠大脑皮层神经干细胞定向分化神经元过程中的表达变化及其与辅肌动蛋白(α-actinin)的关系.方法将神经干细胞分离、培养、分化及鉴定后,采用免疫组化技术对新生大鼠皮层神经干细胞向神经元定向分化过程中,纽蛋白的时空表达进行研究,并采用免疫荧光双标技术及共聚焦激光扫描显微术对神经元定向分化过程中,纽蛋白与辅肌动蛋白关系进行探讨,利用图像分析技术对不同时段分化的神经元中vinculin平均积分光密度进行定量测定.结果在神经干细胞定向分化为神经元的过程中,vinculin由核周淡染分布逐渐至在胞体与突起中密集均匀分布,随着突起伸展而不断地延伸.图像分析结果表示,随神经元的分化成熟,vinculin的表达量呈逐渐增加趋势.在共聚焦激光扫描显微镜下观察免疫荧光双标vinculin/α-actinin在分化早期胞体和突起内均有分布,可见核周和突起两者融合两蛋白共存.近成熟期,随突起生长,两蛋白渐伸入突起,直至末端共存.结论本研究揭示大脑皮质神经干细胞定向分化为神经元过程中,vinculin表达变化与神经元发育成熟呈正相关,并且vinculin与α-actinin共存.

Determination of bisphenol A using a flow injection inhibitory chemiluminescence method.

A new flow injection chemiluminescence (CL) method has been developed for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA), based on the inhibitory effect of BPA on the chemiluminescence reaction between luminol and potassium hexacyanoferrate. Under optimum conditions, the decrease in CL emission intensity was linear with BPA concentration in the range 8.0 x 10(-7)-1.2 x 10(-5) mol/L, and the detection limit was 3.1 x 10(-7) mol/L. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of 11 replicate measurements was 2.6% for 2.0 x 10(-6) mol/L BPA (n = 11). The sampling frequency was calculated to be ca. 120/h. This method has been successfully used to determine the content of BPA in aqueous solution of polycarbonate materials. A brief discussion on the possible chemiluminescence reaction mechanism is presented.     

Chemiluminescence determination of fluoroquinolone antibiotics using a soluble manganese (IV)-sulphite system.

The reaction of soluble manganese (IV) with sulphite in acidic condition was found to elicit weak chemiluminescence (CL). The CL signal was remarkably enhanced in the presence of three fluoroquinolones, viz. norfloxacin, ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin. Based on these observations, a new flow-injection CL method was developed for the determination of these fluoroquinolones. The method allows determination in the range 5.0 x 10(-8)-1.0 x 10(-6) mol/L for norfloxacin, 1.0 x 10(-7)-8.0 x 10(-6) mol/L for ofloxacin and 1.0 x 10(-7)-3.0 x 10(-5) mol/L for ciprofloxacin, with detection limits of 3 x 10(-8) mol/L, 5 x 10(-8) mol/L and 3 x 10(-8) mol/L, respectively. The method was applied to the determination of fluoroquinolones in pharmaceutical preparations.     

Biodegradation and detoxification of nicotine in tobacco solid waste by a Pseudomonas sp.

A Pseudomonas sp. grew with nicotine optimally 3 g l^–1 and at 30 °C and pH 7. Nicotine was fully degraded within 10 h. The resting cells degraded nicotine in tobacco solid waste completely within 6 h in 0.02 m sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7) at maximally 56 mg nicotine h^–1 g dry cell^–1.     

Mouth cavity base defect treated with biosynthetic graft

The use of in vitro prepared biosynthetic grafts can considerably improve the patient’s quality of life. This work reports on the use of an autologous graft prepared from a patient’s preputial cells cultivated on biodegradable polymeric membrane. Coladerm membrane is based on the chemically modified polyelectrolyte complex of atelocollagen and hyaluronan. The graft was used to cover a defect in the mouth cavity base and tongue after reconstruction surgery performed at this site in the past. The presented clinical case showed that the autologous biosynthetic graft prepared from foreskin cells can be successfully used for covering of medium-size defects in mouth cavity base resulting in the regeneration of target mouth structures with significant improvement of patient’s quality of life.

A characteristic pharmacological action of ‘Yang-invigorating’ Chinese tonifying herbs: Enhancement of myocardial ATP-generation capacity

In order to investigate the pharmacological basis of ‘Yang-invigorating’ action, the effect of oral treatment with the methanolic extract of ‘Yang-invigorating’ herbs on ATP-generation capacity was examined, using heart homogenates prepared from herb-pretreated mice. Tonifying (i.e., health-promoting) herbs of other functional categories were also included for comparison. The results indicated that ‘Yang-invigorating’ Chinese tonifying herbs could invariably enhance myocardial ATP-generation capacity, with the extent of stimulation varying among the herbs. In contrast, ‘Yin-nourishing’ herbs either did not stimulate or even decreased myocardial ATP-generation capacity. While ‘Qi-invigorating’ herbs produced variable effects on myocardial ATP-generation capacity, most of the ‘blood-enriching’ herbs did not cause any significant changes. The results obtained from studies using myocardial mitochondrial fractions isolated from herb-pretreated mice suggest that ‘Yang-invigorating’ herbs might speed up ATP generation by increasing mitochondrial electron transport. The ensemble of results has provided evidence for the first time to support the pharmacological basis of ‘Yang invigoration’ in Chinese medicine.
