聚丙烯酰胺微生物降解研究进展

聚丙烯酰胺是一类重要的水溶性高分子聚合物,已广泛应用到工农业生产的各个领域和人们的日常生活中。由于具有良好的理化特性,一直被认为是安全、无毒和稳定的,所以有关其在自然界中的降解及其可能产生毒性的研究在很长一段时期内被忽视。事实上,聚丙烯酰胺在环境中的残留、迁移、降解对环境具有潜在危害性。目前,其应用范围和规模正呈现快速增长趋势,而其研究多集中在其合成和应用方面,对聚丙烯酰胺的降解尤其是生物降解研究极少。     

聚丙烯酰胺(PAM)防治土壤风蚀的研究进展

在我国西北地区,风蚀是造成土地退化的主要影响因素之一.聚丙烯酰胺(PAM)是一种高效的土壤结构改良剂.因其具有特殊的物理化学性质,可以与土壤作用而改善土壤表层结构,近年来一直受到人们的广泛关注.本文介绍了PAM的物理化学性质,详细论述了PAM对土壤风蚀量、起动风速的影响,及PAM在风蚀防治中的不同使用量、使用方法和效果,及其与其他材料的对比,并通过PAM对土壤物理性质的改善进一步分析PAM防治风蚀的机理.综合分析得出,虽然PAM在风蚀防治中存在一些问题,但作为一种固沙剂,它不仅能提高土壤抗风蚀的能力,而且也能改善土壤的物理性状,可为植物生长创造良好的水土条件;提出若在风蚀治理和改良城市环境中将PAM与植物种植相结合,将能大大提高植物的成活率、改善风蚀区的风蚀状况和生态环境工程建设的质量.因此,PAM在防治风蚀方面具有重要的现实意义和广阔的应用前景.

Responsive systems for cell sheet detachment

Cell sheet engineering has been progressing rapidly during the past few years and has emerged as a novel approach for cell based therapy. Cell sheet harvest technology enables fabrication of viable, transplantable cell sheets for various tissue engineering applications. Currently, the majority of cell sheet studies use thermo-responsive systems for cell sheet detachment. However, other responsive systems began showing their potentials for cell sheet harvest. This review provides an overview of current techniques in creating cell sheets using different types of responsive systems including thermo-responsive, electro-responsive, photo-responsive, pH-responsive and magnetic systems. Their mechanism, approach, as well as applications for cell detachment have been introduced. Further development of these responsive systems will allow efficient cell sheet harvesting and patterning of cells to reconstruct complex tissue for broad clinical applications.     

Synthesis and decoloring properties of sodium humate/poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels

A series of novel sodium humate/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (SH/PNIPA) hydrogels were synthesized by solution polymerization. The swelling and decoloring properties of SH/PNIPA hydrogels were also examined. Experiment results show that there exist hydrogen-bonding interactions between SH and PNIPA in the SH/PNIPA hydrogels network, which are not strong enough to disrupt the aggregation of dehydrated PNIPA chains at phase transition temperature, leading to the same volume phase transition temperature as pure PNIPA hydrogel. The adsorption and desorption of methylene blue (MB) for the hydrogels were influenced by temperature, initial MB concentration and SH amount. Low temperature favors the adsorption and desorption of MB. Appropriate SH amount of the hydrogels is crucial for the adsorption and desorption of MB. The maximum adsorption capacity was 10.8 mg MB per gram of SH/PNIPA gel.

Production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) from whey by cell recycle fed-batch culture of recombinant Escherichia coli

A new fermentation strategy using cell recycle membrane system was developed for the efficient production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) from whey by recombinant Escherichia coli strain CGSC 4401 harboring the Alcaligenes latus polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis genes. By cell recycle, fed-batch cultivation employing an external membrane module, the working volume of fermentation could be constantly maintained at 2.3 l. The final cell concentration, PHB concentration and PHB content of 194 g l^–1, 168 g l^–1 and 87%, respectively, were obtained in 36.5 h by the pH-stat cell recycle fed-batch culture using whey solution concentrated to contain 280 g lactose l^–1 as a feeding solution, resulting in a high productivity of 4.6 g PHB l^–1 h^–1.     

Induction of mitochondrial dysfunction by poly(ADP-ribose) polymer: Implication for neuronal cell death

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) mediates neuronal cell death in a variety of pathological conditions involving severe DNA damage. Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymer is a product synthesized by PARP-1. Previous studies suggest that PAR polymer heralds mitochondrial apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) release and thereby, signals neuronal cell death. However, the details of the effects of PAR polymer on mitochondria remain to be elucidated. Here we report the effects of PAR polymer on mitochondria in cells in situ and isolated brain mitochondria in vitro. We found that PAR polymer causes depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential and opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore early after injury. Furthermore, PAR polymer specifically induces AIF release, but not cytochrome c from isolated brain mitochondria. These data suggest PAR polymer as an endogenous mitochondrial toxin and will further our understanding of the PARP-1-dependent neuronal cell death paradigm.

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) surface-grafted chitosan membranes as a new substrate for cell sheet engineering and manipulation

The immobilization of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) on chitosan membranes was performed in order to render membranes with thermo-responsive surface properties. The aim was to create membranes suitable for cell culture and in which confluent cell sheets can be recovered by simply lowering the temperature. The chitosan membranes were immersed in a solution of the monomer that was polymerized via radical initiation. The composition of the polymerization reaction solvent, which was a mixture of a chitosan non-solvent (isopropanol) and a solvent (water), provided a tight control over the chitosan membranes swelling capability. The different swelling ratio, obtained at different solvent composition of the reaction mixture, drives simultaneously the monomer solubility and diffusion into the polymeric matrix, the polymerization reaction rate, as well as the eventual chain transfer to the side substituents of the pyranosyl groups of chitosan. A combined analysis of the modified membranes chemistry by proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H-NMR), Fourier transform spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that it was possible to control the chitosan modification yield and depth in the solvent composition range between 75% and 100% of isopropanol. Plasma treatment was also applied to the original chitosan membranes in order to improve cell adhesion and proliferation. Chitosan membranes, which had been previously subjected to oxygen plasma treatment, were then modified by means of the previously described methodology. A human fetal lung fibroblast cell line was cultured until confluence on the plasma-treated thermo-responsive chitosan membranes and cell sheets were harvested lowering the temperature.     

Poly(2-oxazoline) hydrogels as next generation three-dimensional cell supports

Synthetic hydrogels selectively decorated with cell adhesion motifs are rapidly emerging as promising substrates for 3D cell culture. When cells are grown in 3D they experience potentially more physiologically relevant cell–cell interactions and physical cues compared with traditional 2D cell culture on stiff surfaces. A newly developed polymer based on poly(2-oxazoline)s has been used for the first time to control attachment of fibroblast cells and is discussed here for its potential use in 3D cell culture with particular focus on cancer cells toward the ultimate aim of high-throughput screening of anticancer therapies. Advantages and limitations of using poly(2-oxazoline) hydrogels are discussed and compared with more established polymers, especially polyethylene glycol (PEG).
