Determination of bisphenol A using a flow injection inhibitory chemiluminescence method.

A new flow injection chemiluminescence (CL) method has been developed for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA), based on the inhibitory effect of BPA on the chemiluminescence reaction between luminol and potassium hexacyanoferrate. Under optimum conditions, the decrease in CL emission intensity was linear with BPA concentration in the range 8.0 x 10(-7)-1.2 x 10(-5) mol/L, and the detection limit was 3.1 x 10(-7) mol/L. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of 11 replicate measurements was 2.6% for 2.0 x 10(-6) mol/L BPA (n = 11). The sampling frequency was calculated to be ca. 120/h. This method has been successfully used to determine the content of BPA in aqueous solution of polycarbonate materials. A brief discussion on the possible chemiluminescence reaction mechanism is presented.     

Perchlorate Remediation by Electrokinetic Extraction and Electrokinetic Injection of Substrates

Perchlorate (ClO₄^-) contamination of groundwater has recently become a major concern across the nation. Electrokinetic (EK) extraction with the simultaneous EK injection of organic material to promote degradation could allow for the efficient removal of perchlorate while simultaneously promoting degradation of perchlorate. Column experiments were conducted to evaluate the technology. Lactate and glycine served as organic substrates to promote degradation after injection into the columns as well as maintaining the pH near neutral. Removal of perchlorate from contaminated materials kaolin, sand, and a natural soil historically contaminated by perchlorate was controlled by the ionic flux of perchlorate and not by transport from the osmotic flux which was only significant for kaolin experiments. Perchlorate was removed from contaminated sand and clay below our detection limits (5 ppb). Both lactic acid and glycine were successfully injected into clay and a sand matrix. Results from a contaminated site soil indicate that the Chemical Oxygen Demand was increased after electrokinetic injection of glycine and lactate. Experiments using soil from a contaminated site confirmed that EK can be used to both remove perchlorate and stimulate bioremediation by the injection of lactate or glycine. The use of EK technology to both remove and provide for continued source removal by bioremediation offers a potential new tool to treat low permeability systems.

研究了肌注腺伴随病毒（adeno-associated virus,AAV）介导凝血Ⅸ因子基因治疗血友病B的安全性,道德采用PCR、反转录PCR（RT－PCR）分别检测rHSV/AAV包装系统产生的重组腺伴随病毒AAV－mFⅨ,和病毒感染细胞后所得上清再次感染的BHK细胞中的HSV（herpes simplex virus,HSV)和野生型AAV。同时观察HSV引起的细胞毒作用。结果表明：纯化后的AA－mFⅨ中HSV≤1个病毒基因组（viral genome,v.g.)/10^8个病毒基因组AAV－mFⅨ,且不具备感染活性;没有野生型AAV。其次,采用PCR、RT－PCR1免疫组化等方法检测了AAV－mFⅨ在体内的分布和表达时间;通过抗AAV的抗体检测和病理切片等方法观察了AAV－mFⅨ在体内引起的免疫反应和病理变化。结果表明：AAV－mFⅨ仅分布在注射点肌肉组织内,表达可持续200天以上;抗体水平低,各主要脏器均未发生明显的病理变化。AAV介导的凝血因子Ⅸ系统是安全的。     

绵羊胞内单精子注射技术

本文的主要目标是建立绵羊胞内单精子注射技术(intracyioplasmic sperm injection,ICSI)。并且尝试了ICSI技术生产绵羊转基因胚胎的可能性。实验1比较了绵羊卵母细胞孤雌激活的3种化学方法。结果显示,Ionomvcin/3 h/6-dimethylaminopurine(6-DMAP)和Ionomycin激活胚的卵裂率(71.7%和91.8%)和囊胚率(17.4%和11%)显著(P<0.01)高于Ca~(2+)激活胚(18.4%和0)。Ionomycin/3 h/6-DMAP激活胚的囊胚发育形态和比例相对较高。实验2中,活精子注射至卵母细胞质后,用Ionomycin/3 h/6-DMAP激活,排出第二极体(PB2)的71枚ICSI胚胎用SOFaaBSA溶液培养,卵裂率为71.8%(51/71),显著(P<0.01)高于体外受精(41.4%,IVF)和阴性对照胚胎(30.2%,sham-ICSI)。培养7天后,sham-ICSI组没有囊胚生成;ICSI和IVF胚胎的囊胚率分别为7.0%(5/71)和16.1%(9/56),两者差异不显著(P>0.05)。这些ICSI囊胚在冷冻前后均能孵化,显示初步建立了绵羊ICSI技术。另外,我们探索了ICSI技术生产转基因胚胎的可能性,-20℃冻融1次的死精子与pEGFP-N1质粒共注射,33枚2-细胞期ICSI胚胎中,2枚可见GFP蛋白。其中1枚停止发育,另外1枚继续发育至16-细胞期,仍然可见GFP基因的表达。4枚解冻的ICSI囊胚手术移植给2只发情同期化受体绵羊,60天时,B超未见怀孕。本文初步结果表明,ICSI技术生产转基因绵羊有可能性,需深入研究。     

Cloned goats (Capra hircus) from adult ear cells

The average number of available oocytes recovered per ovary collected during the breeding season in dairy goats was 5.5 (1815/330). 66.17% (1201/1815) of oocytes extruded the first polar body after maturation in vitro for 20 h. 75.44% (906/1201) of matured oocytes with membrane evagination around the MII chromosomes were enucleated. Ear skin fibroblast cells were derived from an adult female dining Grey goat (C. hircus). The cells were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen after passage 2. Thawed cells were further cultured for 3-6 passages and were subjected to serum starvation by 0.5% FBS for 2-10 d, then used as donor cells for nuclear transfer. 98.12% (889/906) of the enucleated oocytes were reconstructed by intracytoplasmic injection of karyoplast. The reconstructed embryos were activated by 5μ mol/L ionomycin for 4.5 min and further activated by culturing with 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP) for 3 h. After 36 h of culture in mCR1aaBF, 76.69% (645/841) of the cloned embryos cleaved. There were no signifi

An automated reverse flow injection analysis (r-FIA) system using stop-flow technique for quantifying methanol based on the enzymatic reactions of alcohol oxidase and peroxidase was developed. The system permitted methanol analysis in a linear range of 0.006-0.1 g methanol l^–1 without external dilution, and with a sampling frequency of 12 analyses per hour, with a relative standard deviation of 1.16%. The analyser was validated analysing samples from a Pichia pastoris fermentation producing a heterologous protein.
