Nanoparticles based on polymers such as chitosan(CHT) and its water soluble derivative, trimethylchitosan(TMC), could be successfully used as carrier/adjuvant for this purpose. Sodium alginate, a negatively charged biopolymer, could modify the immunostimulatory properties of CHT and TMC NPs and increase their stability. Sodium alginate(ALG)-coated chitosan(CHT)and trimethylchitosan(TMC) nanoparticles(NPs) loaded with inactivated PR8 influenza virus were successfully prepared by direct coating of the virus with CHT or TMC polymers to evaluate their immunoadjuvant potential after nasal immunization. After nasal immunizations in BALB/c mice, PR8-CHT formulation elicited higher IgG2 a and Ig G1 antibody titers compared with PR8-TMC. ALG coating of this formulation(PR8-CHT-ALG) significantly decreased the antibody titers and a less immune response was induced than PR8-TMC-ALG formulation. PR8-TMC-ALG formulation showed significantly higher Ig G2 a/Ig G1 ratio, as criteria for Th1-type immune response, compared with PR8-CHT-ALG and PR8 virus alone. Altogether, the PR8-TMC-ALG formulation could be considered as an efficient intranasal antigen delivery system for nasal vaccines.展开更多

The results showed that the heptane conversion of both trimethyl phosphitetreated samples and un-phosphated samples decreased with an increase in treating temperature, but trimethylphosphite modified samples showed higher activity in comparison with the un-modified samples, which weresteam-treated at a higher temperature. The results were firstly elucidated by the model cluster method andcomputational quantum chemistry method. Full optimization and frequency analysis of all cluster model havebeen carried out using the Gaussian 94 software-package with the PM 3 semi-empirical method performed onsmall cluster models. The computational results showed that the dealumination of trimethyl phosphite modi-fied zeolite model cluster was more difficult than that of un-modified zeolite model cluster when they weretreated with steam while investigating the heat of reaction.展开更多

In the presence of Cd (Ⅱ), Bi(Ⅲ) reacts almost instantaneously with T (4TMAP)P in a 0. 6 mol/l NaAc—HAC buffer (PH5.8) at room temperature. The composition of the complex is T(4TMAP)P: Bi=1:1. The absorbance complex obeys Beer's law over the Bi(Ⅲ) concentration range 0.1—1.4 μg/ml. The linear relative coefficient γ is 0.9998. The apparent molar absorptivity was 1.75×10~5 1. mol^(-1). cm^(-1) at 463nm. The relative standard deviation of the method is 1.50％ for Bi(Ⅲ) 7ug/10ml (10 determinations).

Plasma polymer coated polypropylene films were examined by flame retardancy test (limiting oxygen index, LOI). The highest LOI value calculated for the untreated BOPP sample was 18.4 (v/v O2%) and 24.2 (v/v O2%) for the 55 W 30 minutes treated sample. The plasma polymers were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and AFM. According to the FTIR results, the -OH, B-CH3, B-O, and BH2 functional groups were detected. It was found that the highest surface roughness belonged to 40 W 30 min treated BOPP sample which was calculated as 9.78 nm (10 μm × 10 μm). Moreover, the wettability of the modified BOPP film surfaces was characterized via contact angle measurements. The water contact angle values have decreased from 109.6? to the lowest value of 68.2? after the plasma treatment. The results showed that TMB/N2 plasma modification could be used as an alternative method for the enhancement of flame retardancy and hydrophilicity of BOPP film.展开更多

The effect of TMP on non-flammability of electrolytes was also evaluated. It is found that the TMP reduction decomposition on graphite electrode at the potential of 1.3V （vs Li/Li+） is suppressed with ethylene carbonate（EC）, dimethyl carbonate（DMC） and ethylmethyl carbonate（EMC） cosolvents and vinylene carbonate（VC） additives. The results show that the non-flammable electrolyte of 1mol/L LiPF6 61%（EC1.5-DMC1.0-EMC1.0）-39% TMP has good electrochemical properties. The discharge capacities of half-cells after 20 cycles are 254.8mA·h/g for Li/graphite and 144.1mA·h/g for Li/LiCoO2. The （graphite/）（LiCoO2） prismatic lithium-ion cell delivers a discharge capacity of 131mA·h/g at first cycle. With an addition of 4%VC to this non-flammable electrolyte, a discharge capacity of 134mA·h/g at first cycle and a capacity ratio of （84.3%） after 50 cycles are obtained for prismatic lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, a nail penetration test demonstrates that the safety of prismatic lithium-ion batteries is dramatically improved by using TMP-containing （non-）（flammable） electrolytes.展开更多

Here, we report that the PWWP domain proteins （PDPs） interact with FVE and MSI5 to suppress FLC expression and thereby promote flowering. We demonstrated that FVE, MSI5, and PDP3 were co-purified with LHP1. The H3K27me3 level on FLC was decreased in the pdp mutants as welt as in the fve/ msi5 double mutant. This study suggests that PDPs function together with FVE and MSI5 to regulate the function of the PRC2 complex on FLC.展开更多

The single crystal X-ray diffraction shows that Cu2[CH2=C(CH3)-COO]4[OP(OCH3)3]2 is triclinic, with space group P1, a = 1.05128(13), b = 1.7559(5), c = 1.94479(3) nm, α =91.263(14)°,(β = 102.559(6)°,γ= 106.339(13)°, Z = 4 and R = 0.0668. Two copper(Ⅱ) atoms are bridged by four (a-methacrylate groups, and each copper(Ⅱ) atom is coordinated with a trimethyl phosphate molecule in the axial position, forming a distorted square pyramidal configuration. The symmetric center is between the two copper(Ⅱ) atoms, and the Cu-Cu bond distance is 0.26098(6) nm. The Cu-Cu distance and magnetic studies suggest that there exist anti-ferromagnetic interactions between the two copper(Ⅱ) atoms.展开更多

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXD) and cyclic voltammetry were used to characterize the s-BLM. Both EIS and SAXD data indicated that the synthetic lipid exists as a well-oriented bilayer in the membrane. The voltammetric study showed that the lipid membrane can open ion channels in the presence of C1O4- stimulant with Ru(bpy)32+ as marker ions and give distinct channel currents. The channels can be closed and open up again many times by removing or introducing ClO4- anions.展开更多

文摘For efficient mucosal vaccine delivery, nanoparticulate antigens are better taken by microfold cells in the nasal associated lymphoid tissue and also dendritic cells. Nanoparticles based on polymers such as chitosan(CHT) and its water soluble derivative, trimethylchitosan(TMC), could be successfully used as carrier/adjuvant for this purpose. Sodium alginate, a negatively charged biopolymer, could modify the immunostimulatory properties of CHT and TMC NPs and increase their stability. Sodium alginate(ALG)-coated chitosan(CHT)and trimethylchitosan(TMC) nanoparticles(NPs) loaded with inactivated PR8 influenza virus were successfully prepared by direct coating of the virus with CHT or TMC polymers to evaluate their immunoadjuvant potential after nasal immunization. After nasal immunizations in BALB/c mice, PR8-CHT formulation elicited higher IgG2 a and Ig G1 antibody titers compared with PR8-TMC. ALG coating of this formulation(PR8-CHT-ALG) significantly decreased the antibody titers and a less immune response was induced than PR8-TMC-ALG formulation. PR8-TMC-ALG formulation showed significantly higher Ig G2 a/Ig G1 ratio, as criteria for Th1-type immune response, compared with PR8-CHT-ALG and PR8 virus alone. Altogether, the PR8-TMC-ALG formulation could be considered as an efficient intranasal antigen delivery system for nasal vaccines.

It is found that the TMP reduction decomposition on graphite electrode at the potential of 1.3V （vs Li/Li+） is suppressed with ethylene carbonate（EC）, dimethyl carbonate（DMC） and ethylmethyl carbonate（EMC） cosolvents and vinylene carbonate（VC） additives. The results show that the non-flammable electrolyte of 1mol/L LiPF6 61%（EC1.5-DMC1.0-EMC1.0）-39% TMP has good electrochemical properties. The discharge capacities of half-cells after 20 cycles are 254.8mA·h/g for Li/graphite and 144.1mA·h/g for Li/LiCoO2. The （graphite/）（LiCoO2） prismatic lithium-ion cell delivers a discharge capacity of 131mA·h/g at first cycle. With an addition of 4%VC to this non-flammable electrolyte, a discharge capacity of 134mA·h/g at first cycle and a capacity ratio of （84.3%） after 50 cycles are obtained for prismatic lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, a nail penetration test demonstrates that the safety of prismatic lithium-ion batteries is dramatically improved by using TMP-containing （non-）（flammable） electrolytes.

文摘LHP1 mediates recruitment of the PRC2 histone methyltransferase complex to chromatin and thereby facilitates maintenance of H3K27me3 on FLC, a key flowering repressor gene. Here, we report that the PWWP domain proteins （PDPs） interact with FVE and MSI5 to suppress FLC expression and thereby promote flowering. We demonstrated that FVE, MSI5, and PDP3 were co-purified with LHP1. The H3K27me3 level on FLC was decreased in the pdp mutants as welt as in the fve/ msi5 double mutant. This study suggests that PDPs function together with FVE and MSI5 to regulate the function of the PRC2 complex on FLC.

文摘Two ternary complexes Cu2A4[OP(OCH3)3]2 (A represents CH2=CH-COO- and CH2=C(CH3)-COO-) have been synthesized, and elemental analyses, IR, ESR, electronic reflectance spectra and magnetic studies were carried out. The single crystal X-ray diffraction shows that Cu2[CH2=C(CH3)-COO]4[OP(OCH3)3]2 is triclinic, with space group P1, a = 1.05128(13), b = 1.7559(5), c = 1.94479(3) nm, α =91.263(14)°,(β = 102.559(6)°,γ= 106.339(13)°, Z = 4 and R = 0.0668. Two copper(Ⅱ) atoms are bridged by four (a-methacrylate groups, and each copper(Ⅱ) atom is coordinated with a trimethyl phosphate molecule in the axial position, forming a distorted square pyramidal configuration. The symmetric center is between the two copper(Ⅱ) atoms, and the Cu-Cu bond distance is 0.26098(6) nm. The Cu-Cu distance and magnetic studies suggest that there exist anti-ferromagnetic interactions between the two copper(Ⅱ) atoms.

文摘A synthetic cationic surfactant, 5,5-ditetradecyl-2-(2-trimethyl-ammonioethyl)-1,3-dioxane bromide (DTDB), was used to construct a supported bilayer lipid membrane (s-BLM) coated on an underlying glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXD) and cyclic voltammetry were used to characterize the s-BLM. Both EIS and SAXD data indicated that the synthetic lipid exists as a well-oriented bilayer in the membrane. The voltammetric study showed that the lipid membrane can open ion channels in the presence of C1O4- stimulant with Ru(bpy)32+ as marker ions and give distinct channel currents. The channels can be closed and open up again many times by removing or introducing ClO4- anions.
