The Effect of Brominated Furanones on The Formation of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm on PVC

To study the influence of brominated furanones on the formation of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) biofilm on PVC thus providing new avenues of research on the surface modification of materials and clinical treatment of biomaterial-centered infection. Three brominated furanones (furanone-1, furanone-2, and furanone-3) were coated on the surface of PVC material. Both the modified PVC materials and SA were co-cultivated together. To assess the thickness of bacterial biofilm and bacterium colony unit area on PVC materials, confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to observe the surface structure of SA biofilm formation. All treatments were compared with the control group which was not coated with furanones. PVC materials coated with furanone-1 had an increase in bacterial biofilm as well as SA colony area when compared with control. However, there was no significant difference between treating with furanone-1 and furanone-3 (P > 0.05). The impact of different brominated furanones on SA biofilm formation on the surface of PVC materials is different, furanone-1 can promote the SA biofilm formation on the surface of PVC material.

细菌视紫红质光循环中间体M412的动力学初探

采用紫外可见吸收光谱技术和闪光光解技术,初步观察了细菌视紫红质(BR)分子在宽pH范围(2.1～12.3)内的特征吸收峰以及M412的相对浓度和M412的慢成分半衰期的变化,并对其结构和光循环功能进行了讨论.紫外可见吸收光谱实验结果显示:pH=5.0～10.0时,BR最大特征吸收峰值约为568 nm;pH＜5.0时,BR最大特征吸收峰发生红移;pH＞10.0时,BR最大特征吸收峰发生蓝移.闪光动力学光谱结果显示:pH为7.3～9.5时,M412的相对浓度(M0)基本稳定在0.038左右;pH＜7.3时,M0逐渐减小;pH＞9.5时,M0明显上升,在pH=11.8时达到最大值0.1355,随后又快速下降.pH为2.1～7.3时,M412的慢成分半衰期(ts1/2)值在(4.1±1.1)ms左右;pH＞7.3时,ts1/2值急剧延长到40 677.4 ms.推测在高pH条件下,BR分子的光循环有新的路径和机理.     

The action of digitonin on rat liver mitochondria. The effects on enzyme content

1. The effects of repetitive treatment of rat liver mitochondria with digitonin were examined. The first treatment results in the removal of the outer membrane. Almost all the NADH-cytochrome c reductase (rotenone-insensitive) is lost whereas the major portions of the soluble and bound enzymes are retained. One exception appears to be the cytochromes, which undergo somewhat larger losses. The resulting inner-membrane complex carries out oxidative phosphorylation and P(i)-ATP exchange. 2. The properties of the inner-membrane complex are affected by the osmoticity of the medium. When it is suspended in water little protein is lost but there is a marked loss of phosphorylation. If after the suspension in water the particulate fraction is reisolated by centrifugation and treated with digitonin, or if the aqueous suspension is treated directly with digitonin and the particulate fraction then reisolated, the phosphorylation is largely restored. 3. Additional treatment of the inner mitochondrial complex with digitonin results in the formation of a particulate fraction that contains approx. 8% of the initial mitochondrial protein, no outer membrane, no soluble mitochondrial enzymes and is still capable of coupled oxidative phosphorylation and P(i)-ATP exchange. These effects cannot be reproduced by treatment with water. 4. The rat liver mitochondria and all of the resulting preparations obtained after digitonin treatment may be stored for long periods in dimethyl sulphoxide with little change of activity.     

罗格列酮对海马神经元树突发育的影响

罗格列酮(rosiglitazone,Rosig.)是噻唑烷二酮类(thiazolidinediones,TZDs)过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma,PPARγ)的激动剂,近年来,临床研究发现其具有神经保护作用,但对其作用机制目前仍没有完全研究清楚．利用活细胞成像的方法,观察罗格列酮对大鼠海马神经元树突丝和树突树发育的影响及其机制．结果显示,罗格列酮浓度依赖的增高神经元树突丝密度,对树突丝长度、运动速度并没有影响．此外,罗格列酮也不影响树突树的总分支、总长度以及各级分支的数目和长度．PPARγ 特异性拮抗剂GW9662完全阻断了罗格列酮介导的树突丝密度增高．结果表明罗格列酮可能通过PPARγ途径影响神经元的早期发育,这可能是罗格列酮发挥神经保护作用的潜在机制．

The origin of life on Earth

Terrestrial life can be schematically described as organic molecules organized in liquid water. According to Oparin's hypothesis, organic building blocks required for early life were produced from simple organic molecules formed in a primitive reducing atmosphere. Precursors of lipids, nucleic acids and enzymes obtained in the laboratory under simulating conditions are reviewed. Geochemists favor now a less reducing atmosphere dominated by carbon dioxide. In such an atmosphere, very few building blocks are formed under prebiotic conditions. Import of extraterrestrial organic molecules may represent an alternative supply. Experimental support for such an alternative scenario is examined in comets, cosmic dust, meteorites and micrometeorites. Even the prebiotic broth receives today severe criticism for being implausible. In contrast to the classical scenario, a chemoautotrophic origin of life is discussed. Finally, interesting information related to early terrestrial life may be gained from Mars exploration.     

The effects of noise on sleep

Man remains sensitive to acoustic stimuli during sleep but his sensitivity depends on his own biological characteristics, his sleep state, and the type of noise. Some of the measurable effects of noise are immediate while others occur afterwards. The global psychophysiological approach of the effects of noise on sleep appears to be satisfactory, although complex.
