Deferrioxamine, a bacterial hydroxamic siderophore having high binding affinity for Fe(III), is used in its immobilized form, as self-assembled monolayer on Au, for accumulation and recognition of Fe(III) from the solution phase. The accumulated Fe(III) is detected via both active mode based on faradaic reduction current of Fe(III), and inactive mode based on impedimetric effect of accumulated Fe(III) against redox reaction of a suitable probe. Appropriate electrochemical techniques, square wave voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, are used for the transduction of analytical signals obtained by this sensor. Then, the parameters influencing the sensor response are optimized. In the best conditions, a linear response, from 1.0×10(-10) to 1.0×10(-7)M Fe(III) in logarithmic scale with a detection limit of 2.0×10(-11)M, and mean relative standard deviation of 1.7% for n=4 is observed. The results show that the sensor can be used for determination of Fe(III) in the presence of various inorganic ions and biological species. Validity of the method and applicability of the sensor are successfully tested by determination of Fe(III) in various real samples including plant tissue (corn leaves), industrial alloy (Ferrotitanium), and pharmaceutical samples (Venofer(?) ampoule, Ironorm(?) capsule, and V.M. Protein(?) powder). 相似文献

Background
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an important global health problem and contributes to notable proportion of morbidity and mortality. This particular manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis is largely under diagnosed and undertreated. For sustainable preventive strategies in a country, it is mandatory to identify country-specific risk factors. We intended to assess the risk factors of PAD among adults aged 40–74 years.Methods
This case control study was conducted in 2012–2013 in Sri Lanka. Seventy-nine cases and 158 controls in the age group of 40–74 years were selected for the study in order to have case to control ratio 1:2. The criterion for selecting cases and control was based on Ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI). Cases were selected from those who had ABPI 0.85 or less (ABPI ≤0.85) in either lower limb. Controls were selected from those ABPI score between 1.18 and 1.28 in both lower limbs. Only newly identified individuals with PAD were selected as cases. Controls were selected from the same geographical location and within the 5 year age group as cases.Results
The history of diabetes mellitus more than 10 years (OR 5.8, 95% CI 2.2–14.2), history of dyslipidemia for more than 10 years (OR 4.9, 95% CI 2.1–16.2), history of hypertension for more than 10 years (OR 3.8, 95% CI 1.8–12.7) and smoking (OR 2.9, 95% CI 1.2–6.9), elevated HsCRP (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.2–12.0) and hyperhomocysteinemia (OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.1–8.1) were revealed as country specific significant risk factor of PAD.Conclusions
Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking as well as elevated homocysteine and HsCRP found as risk factors of PAD. Longer the duration or higher level exposure to these risk factors has increased the risk of PAD. These findings emphasis the need for routine screening of PAD among patients with the identified risk factors.7.

Aquaculture practices from sub-Saharan Africa are characterised by low production, owing to improper technology. Production can be increased through integrating fish farming with other existing on-farm activities, particularly livestock husbandry. We assessed the role of fish-poultry integration on all male Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus growth performance, yields and economic benefits among smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, Tanzania. The study also compared phytoplankton species composition, abundance and biomass between the fish-poultry integration and non-integrated system. After 180 days of the experiment, all male O. niloticus cultured under fish-poultry integration exhibited significantly higher growth rates than those in the non-integrated system (p < 0.05). Gross fish yield (GFY), net fish yield (NFY) and net annual yields (NAY) obtained from fish-poultry integration were significantly higher than those from non-integrated system (p < 0.05). Partial enterprise budget analysis revealed that fish-poultry integration was more profitable than the non-integrated system. Moreover, fish-poultry integrated system produced significantly higher phytoplankton abundance and biomass than those from the non-integrated system. Results demonstrate that rural smallholder farmers can achieve higher growth rate, farm net yields and income by integrating all male O. niloticus with other on-farm activities than practising a stand-alone fish culture system. 相似文献

Generation of mice deficient for Lbx2, a gene expressed in the urogenital system, nervous system, and Pax3 dependent tissues 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lbx2 is a member of the ladybird family of homeobox genes. The first murine ortholog identified, Lbx1, is required for hypaxial musculature and dorsal spinal cord neuron development. The second murine ortholog, Lbx2, is expressed in the developing urogenital and nervous systems. To elucidate the function of Lbx2, we generated a gene-targeted allele of Lbx2 in mice. Lbx2 deficiency did not impair mouse development, and Lbx2 null mice appeared healthy and fertile. Replacement of Lbx2 by the lacZ gene provides a valuable histological marker for Lbx2-expressing cells. Given the important role of Pax3 in neural crest, we intercrossed our Lbx2 deficient mice with Splotch Pax3 mutant mice to determine if Pax3 affects Lbx2 expression. There was reduced Lbx2 expression in dorsal root ganglia and cranial nerve ganglia with Pax3 deficiency, but not in the genital tubercle. This suggested that Pax3 is required for Lbx2 expression in affected neural crest-derived tissues. 相似文献

Background
A recent epidemiological study demonstrated a reduced risk of lung cancer mortality in breast cancer patients using antiestrogens. These and other data implicate a role for estrogens in lung cancer, particularly nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Approximately 61% of human NSCLC tumors express nuclear estrogen receptor β (ERβ); however, the role of ERβ and estrogens in NSCLC is likely to be multifactorial. Here we tested the hypothesis that proteins interacting with ERβ in human lung adenocarcinoma cells that respond proliferatively to estradiol (E2) are distinct from those in non-E2-responsive cells.Methods
FLAG affinity purification of FLAG-ERβ-interacting proteins was used to isolate ERβ-interacting proteins in whole cell extracts from E2 proliferative H1793 and non-E2-proliferative A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. Following trypsin digestion, proteins were identified using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Proteomic data were analyzed using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Select results were confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation.Results
LC-MS/MS identified 27 non-redundant ERβ-interacting proteins. ERβ-interacting proteins included hsp70, hsp60, vimentin, histones and calmodulin. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis of the ERβ-interacting proteins revealed differences in molecular and functional networks between H1793 and A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments in these and other lung adenocarcinoma cells confirmed that ERβ and EGFR interact in a gender-dependent manner and in response to E2 or EGF. BRCA1 interacted with ERβ in A549 cell lines and in human lung adenocarcinoma tumors, but not normal lung tissue.Conclusion
Our results identify specific differences in ERβ-interacting proteins in lung adenocarcinoma cells corresponding to ligand-dependent differences in estrogenic responses.10.
