Fluorescent sensing platform based on polyethyleneimine-protected copper nanoclusters for detection of chromium(VI) in real samples

A new type of polyethyleneimine-protected copper nanoclusters (PEI-CuNCs) is favorably developed by a one-pot method under mild conditions. The obtained PEI-CuNCs is characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and other techniques. It is worth noting that the proposed PEI-CuNCs demonstrate a selective response to chromium(VI) over other competitive species. Fluorescence quenching of PEI-CuNCs is determined to be chromium(VI) concentrations dependence with a low limit of detection of 8.9 nM. What is more, the as-developed PEI-CuNCs is further employed in building a detection platform for portable recognition of chromium(VI) in real samples with good accuracy. These findings may offer a distinctive strategy for the development of methods for analyzing and monitoring chromium(VI) and expand their application in real sample monitoring.     

ITGB3BP is a potential biomarker associated with poor prognosis of glioma

Despite the growing recognition of ITGB3BP as an essential feature of various cancers, the relationship between ITGB3BP and glioma remains unclear. The main aim of this study was to determine the prognostic and diagnostic value of ITGB3BP in glioma. RNA‐Seq and microarray data from 2222 glioma patients were included, and we found that the expression level of ITGB3BP in glioma tissues was significantly higher than that in normal brain tissues. Moreover, ITGB3BP can be considered an independent risk factor for poor prognosis and has great predictive value for the prognosis of glioma. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis results showed that ITGB3BP contributes to the poor prognosis of glioma by activating tumour‐related signalling pathways. Some small‐molecule drugs were identified, such as hexestrol, which may specifically inhibit ITGB3BP and be useful in the treatment of glioma. The TIMER database analysis results revealed a correlation between the expression of ITGB3BP and the infiltration of various immune cells in glioma. Our findings provide the first evidence that the up‐regulation of ITGB3BP correlates with poor prognosis in human glioma. Thus, ITGB3BP is a potential new biomarker that can be used for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of glioma.     

On the Chemical Study of the Volatile Oil ot Lysimachia Foenumgraecum Hance

The present paper reports that 0.17% fragrant, yellowish green colored volatile oil was obtained from Lysimachia foenumgraecum Hance by steam distil- lation with the following physical constants: nD20 1.4824, d1515 0.9059, [α]D25 -18.6 (c=1.1,CHCl3). 2. From the volatile oil a large amount of palmitic acid was separated and identified by its rap, elementary analysis and IR. 3. The volatile oil was divided into the acidic portion, the constituents in which were later transferred into their methyl esters (A), and the neutral and phenolic por- tion (B). (A) and (B) were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The result of analysis showed that a total of 59 chemical constituents were indentified in the volatile oil; (A) con- sisted of 20 and (B) consisted of 39 constituents. 4. From the results as shown in the GC figures I and 2, hexahydrofarnesylacetone, being a rarely occured constituent in the natural product, and dibutyl phthalate might be considered to be the principal neutral costituents, just as the hexadecanoic acid and margaric acid to be the principal acidic constituents in the volatile oil of Lysimachia foenumgraecum Hance.

LIN28/let-7信号通路与肿瘤发生发展的关系

Let-7家族是最古老而保守的micro RNAs(mi RNAs)之一,由于它在许多肿瘤中表达下降或缺失,故被认为是肿瘤抑制因子。LIN28是一种高度保守的RNA结合蛋白,在多种恶性肿瘤中过度表达,通过抑制let-7而发挥致癌功能。目前认为,LIN28/let-7通路与恶性肿瘤发生发展密切相关,因此深入研究LIN28/let-7信号通路的调控机制将为恶性肿瘤的诊断和治疗提供新的策略。     

二株B亚群禽白血病病毒全基因组序列及其在细胞上的复制性比较

本研究比较了从山东地方品系鸡群分离到的二株B亚型禽白血病病毒(ALV)SDAU09E3和SDAU09C2的全基因组序列及它们在细胞培养上的复制动态。这二株ALV-B的同源性为95.4%,与GenBank中3株B亚群参考株之间的同源性也均在91.0%～94.9%间,而与其它亚群参考株的同源性均低于87.9%。与亚群无关的gag、pol基因和LTR的核苷酸序列比较表明,这二株ALV-Bgp85基因的gag和pol基因与所有比较的参考株的同源性均在93%以上。LTR与其他外源性ALV参考株的LTR间的同源性在72.6%～88.3%范围内,但与E亚群内源性ALV的LTR的同源性只有51.5%。然而,这二个ALV-B的LTR的同源性也只有74.8%,远低于其他基因组部分的同源性,特别是它们的LTR的U3区同源性只有68.8%,二者在二个CAAT分布上也显著不同。对这二株ALV-B在DF-1细胞上的复制动态比较表明,它们在细胞培养上清液中的TCID50值非常类似,但SDAU09E3株核衣壳蛋白p27抗原的含量显著高于SDAU09C2株。这表明,同一亚群的不同毒株在复制过程中,所表达的p27抗原量与所形成的具有传染性的病毒量间没有平行关系。这一差异与LTR-U3区的相关性则有待应用感染性克隆技术来做进一步深入研究。
