Chiral separation of underivatized amino acids in supercritical fluid chromatography with chiral crown ether derived column

The supercritical fluid chromatographic separation of underivatized amino acids was explored using immobilized chiral crown ether column CROWNPAK CR-I (+) and mass spectrometric detection. The type of modifier, acidic additives, and the role of water were investigated. Enantioseparation was achieved for all 18 amino acids investigated with short retention times (less than 3 minutes) and average resolution of greater than 5.0. Analysis of enantiomerically pure standards demonstrated the D enantiomer eluted first for all amino acids using a CROWNPAK CR-I (+) column.

Exosome biogenesis,secretion and function of exosomal miRNAs in skeletal muscle myogenesis

Exosomes are membrane‐bound extracellular vesicles that are produced in the endosomal compartment of most mammalian cell types and then released. Exosomes are effective carriers for the intercellular material transfer of material that can influence a series of physiological and pathological processes in recipient cells. Among loaded cargoes, non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) vary for the exosome‐producing cell and its homeostatic state, and characterization of the biogenesis and secretion of exosomal ncRNAs and the functions of these ncRNAs in skeletal muscle myogenesis remain preliminary. In this review, we will describe what is currently known of exosome biogenesis, release and uptake of exosomal ncRNAs, as well as the varied functions of exosomal miRNAs in skeletal muscle myogenesis.     

纳米δ-Bi2O3负载多孔沸石球填料对水体中Cr（Ⅵ）的吸附特征及其影响因素

在水热条件下合成纳米δ-Bi2O3负载多孔沸石球填料(Bi-PZSF),研究其对水体中Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附性能(包括等温吸附、吸附动力学和吸附稳定性)以及溶解氧、pH等因素对吸附过程的影响及其吸附机理。结果表明:朗格缪尔模型和准二级动力学模型对实验结果具有良好的拟合度,在中性条件下,水体中的溶解氧含量对吸附速率影响较小,Bi-PZSF的最大吸附量为955.69 mg·kg^-1,比天然沸石的吸附量提升了近120倍;Bi-PZSF在NO3^-和SO4^2-的溶液中呈现出较强的选择吸收Cr(Ⅵ)能力,Cr(Ⅵ)去除率均在97%以上;同时,Bi-PZSF在吸附Cr(Ⅵ)后表现出高稳定性。Cr(Ⅵ)的去除主要是通过与附着在Bi-PZSF上的纳米δ-Bi2O3的表面羟基交换完成的。     

Apelin-13对LPS诱导人脐静脉内皮细胞屏障损伤的干预作用*

目的: 探讨Apelin-13对LPS诱导人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)屏障损伤的影响。方法: 将体外培养的HUVECs分为4组:正常对照组、LPS组、Apelin-13+LPS组、Apelin-13组。用5 μg/ml LPS作用细胞24 h, 复制屏障功能受损模型。1 μmol/L Apelin-13提前30 min给予,再给予LPS作用24 h,确定Apelin-13的影响。通过CCK8法检测Apelin-13对细胞活力的影响;Western blot检测血管内皮细胞钙粘蛋白(VE-cadherin)、纤维状肌动蛋白(F-actin)表达变化;免疫荧光检测VE-cadherin、F-actin的表达变化及核转录因子Kappa B(NF-κB p65)入核情况。结果: 与正常对照组相比,单独给予Apelin-13对细胞活力无明显影响。与正常对照组相比,LPS组细胞活力明显下降(P＜0.01),VE-cadherin蛋白表达下降(P＜0.01)、F-actin蛋白表达升高(P＜0.05),NF-κB p65入核明显增加。与LPS组相比,Apelin-13明显增加细胞活力(P＜0.01),VE-cadherin蛋白表达增加(P＜0.05)、F-actin蛋白表达下降(P＜0.01),蛋白NF-κB p65入核下降明显。结论: Apelin-13可减轻LPS诱导的人脐静脉内皮细胞损伤及屏障受损,其机制可能与抑制炎症相关。     

灵武长枣果实同化物韧皮部卸载和运输途径研究

韧皮部卸载和韧皮部后运输在调节同化物在果实中的分配和积累方面起着至关重要的作用,而且很大程度上决定着果实的产量和质量。为探讨灵武长枣果实同化物韧皮部卸载和运输途径,以4个时期灵武长枣果实为实验材料,对各个发育时期果实维管束的显微结构进行观察,并综合运用荧光染料活细胞示踪与激光共聚焦扫描显微镜技术实时观察果实内韧皮部同化物卸载路径的变化,为灵武长枣果实同化物积累和品质调控奠定基础。结果显示：(1)膨大前期不仅果实的韧皮部中具有明显的CF绿色荧光,同时在周围薄壁细胞中也分布着CF绿色荧光,筛管伴胞复合体和周围薄壁细胞之间存在着共质体联系。(2)快速膨大期,CF绿色荧光主要局限于果实的韧皮部中,在韧皮部周围薄壁细胞中分布较少,筛管伴胞复合体与周围薄壁细胞之间主要以共质体隔离为主,但也存在着一定的共质体联系。(3)着色期和完熟期,CF绿色荧光局限于果实的韧皮部中,在韧皮部周围薄壁细胞中基本没有CF绿色荧光,果实筛管伴胞复合体与周围薄壁细胞之间是共质体隔离状态,但引入CFDA的同时引入具有质膜通透作用的洋地黄皂苷时,周围薄壁细胞中CF绿色荧光分布明显增加。研究认为,灵武长枣在膨大前期果实韧皮部同化物为共质体卸载途径,快速膨大期果实主要以质外体途径运输同化物,但也通过共质体卸出同化物,着色期和完熟期果实通过质外体途径运输同化物。
