Comparative studies of polyethylene glycol-modified liposomes prepared using different PEG-modification methods

To address the issue of excess polyethylene glycol (PEG)-lipid degradation observed when PEG-modified liposomes are prepared using the pH-gradient method, a concept using a novel PEG-modification method, called the post-modification method, was proposed and evaluated. To assess the proof concept, a preservation-stability study and a pharmacokinetic study were performed that compared the conventional PEG-modification method, called the pre-modification method, with the post-modification method. The results show that PEG-lipid degradation could be markedly inhibited in the post-modification method. Furthermore, the post-modification method could be used without any manufacturing process difficulties, especially with high PEG-lipid content. In addition, a higher blood circulation capability was observed in the post-modification method. Through comparative studies, it was found that the post-modification method was advantageous compared to the pre-modification method. In conclusion, the post-modification method has the potential to be a novel PEG-modification method that can achieve a higher preservation stability of PEG-lipid, a greater ease of manufacturing, and a higher blood circulation capability, especially in the manufacturing of pH-gradient liposomal products.     

Genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphism using model-based clustering

MOTIVATION: Single nucleotide polymorphisms have been investigated as biological markers and the representative high-throughput genotyping method is a combination of the Invader assay and a statistical clustering method. A typical statistical clustering method is the k-means method, but it often fails because of the lack of flexibility. An alternative fast and reliable method is therefore desirable. RESULTS: This paper proposes a model-based clustering method using a normal mixture model and a well-conceived penalized likelihood. The proposed method can judge unclear genotypings to be re-examined and also work well even when the number of clusters is unknown. Some results are illustrated and then satisfactory genotypings are shown. Even when the conventional maximum likelihood method and the typical k-means clustering method failed, the proposed method succeeded.

The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees

A new method called the neighbor-joining method is proposed for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from evolutionary distance data. The principle of this method is to find pairs of operational taxonomic units (OTUs [= neighbors]) that minimize the total branch length at each stage of clustering of OTUs starting with a starlike tree. The branch lengths as well as the topology of a parsimonious tree can quickly be obtained by using this method. Using computer simulation, we studied the efficiency of this method in obtaining the correct unrooted tree in comparison with that of five other tree-making methods: the unweighted pair group method of analysis, Farris's method, Sattath and Tversky's method, Li's method, and Tateno et al.'s modified Farris method. The new, neighbor-joining method and Sattath and Tversky's method are shown to be generally better than the other methods.      

A weighted test-area method for calculating surface tension

In this paper, we propose a weighted test-area method to calculate surface tension by incorporating the weighting factor from the Bennett method into the free energy perturbation scheme of the test-area method. This new method was tested by comparing against the results of the Bennett and test-area methods for simulations of square well (SW), Lennard-Jones and point charge fluid models. It is seen that the new method is accurate for all these simulations, giving the same results as the Bennett method, in contrast to the test-area method which cannot calculate the surface tension of a SW fluid. The new method converges as quickly, on the basis of computational time required, as the test-area method and almost twice as quickly as the Bennett method. This combination of speed and accuracy means that the weighted test-area method should be used in preference to the test-area method and Bennett method for surface tension and other macroscopic thermodynamic quantities that can be calculated through perturbation methods.

Estimation of cardiac output by the CO2 rebreathing method during tethered swimming

The reproducibility of cardiac output (Q) estimated by the CO2 rebreathing method during tethered swimming was studied in five highly trained college swimmers. The reproducibility of the CO2 rebreathing method for estimations of Q during tethered swimming was similar to the reproducibility reported for the CO2 rebreathing method, direct Fick method, or dye-dilution method during either cycling or treadmill walking. All duplicate estimates of Q by the CO2 rebreathing method were within 15% of one another. A comparison was made between the Q's estimated by the CO2 rebreathing method during tethered swimming and previously published data on Q determined by the dye-dilution method during free swimming in a flune. At any given oxygen uptake, Q obtained by the CO2 rebreathing method during tethered swimming was not significantly different from the Q obtained by the dye-dilution method during flume swimming. Estimates of Q by the CO2 rebreathing method made during high intensities of tethered swimming were reproducible and appear to be valid.     

酵母双杂交相关方法的改良及应用

对酵母双杂交实验过程中较为耗时的阳性克隆鉴定过程进行改进,以期建立一种快速有效的鉴定方法。分别采用液氮冻融法、超声破碎法、渗透压破壁法以及煮沸裂解法裂解酵母细胞,获得质粒作为PCR模板,直接测序鉴定筛选到的相互作用蛋白。以液氮冻融法和超声破碎法裂解细胞获得的质粒为模板进行PCR,得到特异的产物,测序鉴定结果明确,与经典的鉴定方法相比效果相当,但更加经济快捷;而渗透压破壁法和煮沸裂解法则效果不好。说明前两种方法可代替常规方法用于阳性克隆的鉴定,从而加快酵母双杂交实验中大量阳性克隆的筛查工作。

Summary The p-dimethylamino-benzaldehyde method of Bomstein and Evans, the ninhydrin method of Marrelli and the new p-dimethyl-amino-benzaldehyde method of Kornfeld were evaluated for analysis of penicillin-V acylase and cephalosporin-V acylase in fermentation broths. The ninhydrin method was the method of choice for cephalosporin-V acylase, whereas the Kornfeld method had certain advantages with respect to penicillin-V acylase.

啮齿动物的巢区面积估算法

巢区(Home range)是动物在其巢附近进行取食、生殖、育幼等日常活动的区域(Burt 1940)。标志流放法是应用最广的调查啮齿动物巢区的方法,尤其是按方格式布笼。但对同一野外调查结果,由于估算方法不同,巢区估算值相差很大,并且至今尚无学者提出一致公认的估算法。1980年5-10月,我们在青海省门源县的高寒草甸生态系统定位站调查根田鼠的巢区,按多种估算法对同一批实际调查结果估计了巢区面积,并对结果进行了分析比较,检查其特点和优缺点,并提出修正平均值法,作为我们今后讨论根田鼠巢区动态的基础。 对方格式布笼的调查结果进行巢区的估算方法,基本上分二大类,图形法和概率性模型法。图形法是按照捕点分布划出巢区,并直接求出巢区面积,如最小面积法,包括或不包括周边地带法,最大距离法和复合散布图法。     

改进的SDS-CTAB法提取濒危植物连香树总DNA

对珍稀濒危植物连香树(Cercidiphyllum japonicum)的6种总DNA提取方法进行了对比试验,结果表明改进的SDS-CTAB法更适合于连香树总DNA提取。该方法提取的DNA经紫外消光值检测,其A260/A280为1.8532,优于CTAB法(1.4872)、SDS法(1.3552)、PVP法(1.5079)、尿素法(1.1858)和高盐低pH法(1.4534)。琼脂糖凝胶电泳和PCR扩增结果也得出同样的结论。     

Comparative Study of Responses to Neomycins B and C by Microbiological and Gas-Liquid Chromatographic Assay Methods

The relative responses of neomycins B and C have been determined by a microbiological agar-diffusion method, a turbidimetric method, and by a recently developed gas-liquid-chromatographic (GLC) method capable of separating the neomycin isomers. The ratios of response of neomycin C to neomycin B by the individual methods were as follows: agar-diffusion method, 1:3; turbidimetric method, 1:2.5; and GLC method, 1:1. When neomycin C is assumed to have 35% biological activity of neomycin B, the calculated drug contents of neomycin sulfate powders obtained by the GLC method correlated well with values obtained by the microbiological agar-diffusion assay method.
