Combining Nature‐Inspired,Graphene‐Wrapped Flexible Electrodes with Nanocomposite Polymer Electrolyte for Asymmetric Capacitive Energy Storage

Two kinds of free‐standing electrodes, reduced graphene oxide (rGO)‐wrapped Fe‐doped MnO₂ composite (G‐MFO) and rGO‐wrapped hierarchical porous carbon microspheres composite (G‐HPC) are fabricated using a frozen lake‐inspired, bubble‐assistance method. This configuration fully enables utilization of the synergistic effects from both components, endowing the materials to be excellent electrodes for flexible and lightweight electrochemical capacitors. Moreover, a nonaqueous HPC‐doped gel polymer electrolyte (GPE‐HPC) is employed to broad voltage window and improve heat resistance. A fabricated asymmetric supercapacitor based on G‐MFO cathode and G‐HPC anode with GPE‐HPC electrolyte achieves superior flexibility and reliability, enhanced energy/power density, and outstanding cycling stability. The ability to power light‐emitting diodes also indicates the feasibility for practical use. Therefore, it is believed that this novel design may hold great promise for future flexible electronic devices.     

α—硫辛酸对6—羟多巴胺诱导的PC12细胞凋亡的影响

PC12 cell line, a clonal cell line derived from a pheochromocytoma of rat adrenal medulla, was used as a model of dopaminergic neuron in vitro to study the effect of alpha-lipoic acid on the 6-OHDA induced apoptosis. The results from MTT method show that 6-OHDA decreased the cell survival rate obviously. Through TUNEL (TdT-mediated dUTP-biotion nick end labeling) and Flow cytometer (FCM) detection, we found that 6-OHDA triggered cell apoptosis and induced necrosis. It was confirmed by the different percentage of cell survival rate and apoptosis concluded from FCM and MTT. alpha-lipoic acid was used as antioxidant to protect the cell from 6-OHDA's injury. The result indicateed that alpha-lipoic acid can partly prevent apoptosis induced by 6-OHDA but fail to prevent necrosis since it can decrease the apoptotic cell from 20.09% to 3.09%, just as increased cell survival rate from 56.8% to 72.6% but can not reach the normal level showed by MTT assay. Biochemical approach showed the cell's antioxidant ability especial for SOD activity and GSH content increased after the treatment of alpha-lipoic acid. The data suggest that alpha-lipoic acid may protect PC12 cells from apoptosis induced by 6-OHDA through the antioxidant path.     

Ligand-triggered conformational perturbations elicit changes at the single cysteinyl residue of spinach calmodulin

Following application of stoichiometric amounts of Ca2+ or specific partner peptides to spinach calmodulin, dynamic changes in the nanosecond range could be monitored at a strategically anchored fluorescence or spin probe. For these studies the single cysteinyl residue 26 of spinach calmodulin was labelled with a thiol-specific proxyl (i.e. 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyl-oxyl) spin probe or with a bimane fluorescence probe. With Ca2+ and a specific ligand (mastoparan) present, fluorescence studies (anisotropy, lifetime) indicated that the rotational motion of the protein complex becomes slower relative to the motion of calmodulin in the absence of the specific ligand. The probe's attachment site 26 appears to reside in a fairly polar microenvironment as reported by a series of proxyl spin probes varying in label length. The rotational correlation time of the shortest spin probe markedly changed upon binding of a specific peptide to a calmodulin region distant from that of the monitoring spin probe. We interpret these observations as indicating that ligand-triggered conformational perturbations are eliciting specific responses at the cysteinyl residue 26 of spinach calmodulin.     

Inhibition by heparin-modulated antithrombin III of amidolysis catalysed by m beta-acrosin.

Purified m beta-acrosin catalysed amidolysis of several p-nitroanilides with C-terminal arginine residues. Antithrombin III inhibited amidolysis catalysed by the enzyme. This effect of antithrombin III was potentiated by heparin, and to a modest extent by heparan sulphate, cellulose sulphate, dextran sulphate and xylan sulphate. De-N-sulphated heparin, de-N-sulphated N-acetylated heparin, heparin of low relative molecular mass, chondroitin 4-sulphate, chondroitin 6-sulphate, dermatan sulphate and hyaluronic acid were ineffective.     

大鼠缺氧预处理心肌酶活性及其ATP酶的电镜细胞化学观察

本实验通过对大鼠反复４次缺氧５ｍｉｎ（常压,氧浓度１０±０．５％）的缺氧预处理与经典的缺血预处理（Ｍｕｒｙ法）的对比观察表明,两者均能明显降低心肌丙二醛含量和肌酸激酶的漏出,提高心肌超氧化物岐化酶,Ｃａ２＋Ｍｇ２＋－ＡＴＰａｓｅ、细胞色素氧化酶、琥珀酸脱氢酶活性及维持细胞超微结构的完整性,提示这种非创伤性缺氧预处理具有与缺血预处理相类似的抗心肌缺血的作用     

Characterization of newly isolated monoclonal antibodies against MHC of a Japanese wild mouse

We have already developed nine B10.MOL congenic strains carrying H-2 haplotypes derived from Japanese wild mice, Mus musculus molossinus, with the C57BL/10 genetic background. To obtain monoclonal antibodies against the H-2 antigen of the Japanese wild mouse, we carried out cell fusion using spleen cells from the animal immunized with one of the B10.MOL strains, B10.MOL-SGR (H-2 ^wm7). As a result, 19 hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies were produced. Analysis with the intro-H-2 recombinants derived from B10.MOL-SGR indicated that 8 of them reacted with the class I and II with the class II molecule. The class I antibodies were tested for their cross -reactivities on wild mice and on the panels of standard inbred and B10.MOL strains. Most of the antibodies reacted with both the Japanese wild mice and the other subspecies, including standard inbred, while two antibodies highly specific for the donor H-2K region reacted with only three wild-derived mice, two M. m. molossinus from Anj o and Shizuoka, Japan, and one M. m. domesticus from Pigeon, Canada. In addition, all of the other four antibodies reactive with the K antigen of B10.MOL-SGR also reacted with the same three wild mice. The wild mice belonging to different subspecies might share very similar H-2K antigenic determinants in spite of their genetic and geographical remoteness.
