RESUMO

A series of low-cost hyper-crosslinked polymers were prepared by an easy one-step Friedel-Crafts reaction. The synthesized hyper-crosslinked polymers exhibited remarkably porous structure, large surface area, and hydroxyl groups, which can be employed as an ideal adsorbent material for novel sorbent-phase extraction techniques. Based on this, using hyper-crosslinked polymers as sorbent and coating, three novel extraction methods, including micro-solid-phase extraction, dispersive solid-phase extraction, and solid-phase microextraction, were explored and evaluated for simultaneous measurement of five endocrine-disrupting compounds (triclosan and bisphenol A, tetrabromobisphenol A, tetrabromobisphenol A bisallylether, and tetrabromobisphenol A bis(2,3-dibromopropyl ether)) in environment water prior to high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet. The influence of experimental parameters on three extraction techniques such as extraction time, the amount of hyper-crosslinked polymers, extraction temperature, ionic strength, and desorption conditions were optimized. Three previously mentioned methods provided limits of detection ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 µg/L, and high recoveries (85-99%) with relative standard deviations of 1.7-5.6%. This study presented the merits and disadvantages of three proposed extraction methods and their potential for effective monitoring of hazardous pollutants in real water samples.

RESUMO

Highly selective and highly efficient identification of large viruses has been a major obstacle in the field of virus detection. In this work, a novel sandwich resonance light scattering sensor was designed based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and aptamers for the first time. One of the recognition probes was obtained by molecular imprinting using environmentally friendly carbon spheres as carriers and the other by modification of the aptamer that can specifically recognize hepatitis B virus (HBV) on the surface of silicon spheres. In the presence of both probes, an MIP-HBV-aptamer sandwich structure was formed continuously in the system with the increase in HBV concentration, resulting in a strong resonance light scattering response. Finally, satisfactory selectivity and sensitivity were obtained, and the imprinting factor was as high as 7.56, which was higher than that reported in previous works of viral molecular imprinting sensor. In addition, it is of great significance to solve the problem of insufficient selectivity of traditional detection methods for macromolecular targets.

RESUMO

Molecularly imprinted polymer (HM@MIP) nanoprobes were designed form the pH-responsive polymer (dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMA)) and MIL-101. This probe was applied to the selective determination of hepatitis A virus (HAV) through Resonance light scattering (RLS) technique. DMA adjusts pH of the system to facilitate the capture and release of virus by HM@MIPs as anticipated. And it results in the enhancement or weaken of RLS intensity. According to RLS intensity at 470 nm, a linear concentration of 0.02-2.0 nmol·L-1 and a limit of detection of 0.1 pmol·L-1 were obtained within 20 min. The excellent recoveries ranges from 88% to 107%, and it indicates the prominent ability of the HM@MIPs to determination HAV in human serum and their potential ability to determination virus in real applications.

RESUMO

Simultaneous detection of large viruses has been a great obstacle in the field of molecular imprinting. In this work, for the first time, a multifunctional molecularly imprinted sensor for single or simultaneous determination of hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) is provided. Visual detection was realized due to the color of green and red quantum dots that varied with the concentration of the target substance. The combination of hydrophilic monomers and metal chelation reduced the nonspecific binding and enhanced the specificity of adsorption. As a result, satisfactory selectivity and sensitivity were obtained for the detection of the two viruses, with imprinting factors of 3.70 and 3.35 for HAV and HBV, and limits of detection of 3.4 and 5.3 pmol/L, respectively, that were achieved within 20 min. The excellent recoveries during simultaneous detection and single detection modes indicate the prominent ability of the proposed sensor to detect HAV and HBV in human serum and the potential ability to simultaneously detect multiple viruses in real applications.

RESUMO

The surface imprinting technique has been developed to overcome the mass-transfer difficulty, but the utilization ratio of template molecules in the imprinting procedure still remains a challengeable task to be improved. In this work, specifically designed surface-imprinted microspheres were prepared by a template-oriented method for enantioseparation of amlodipine besylate. Submicron mesoporous silica microspheres were surface-modified with double bonds, followed by polymerizing methacrylic acid to generate carboxyl modified mesoporous silica microspheres (PMAA@SiO2 ). Afterwards, PMAA@SiO2 was densely adsorbed with (S)-amlodipine molecules to immobilize template molecules through multiple hydrogen bonding interactions. Then surface molecular imprinting was carried out by cross-linking the carboxyl group of PMAA@SiO2 with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether. The surface-imprinted microspheres showed fast binding kinetics of only 20 min for equilibrium adsorption, and the saturation adsorption capacity reached 137 mg/g. The imprinted materials displayed appreciable chiral separation ability when used as column chromatography for enantioseparation of amlodipine from amlodipine besylate, and the enantiomeric excess of (S)-amlodipine reached 13.8% with only 2.3 cm column length by no extra chiral additives. Besides, the imprinted materials exhibited excellent reusability, and this allows the potential application for amplification production of amlodipine enantiomer.

RESUMO

Since both ethanol and butanol fermentations are urgently developed processes with the biofuel-demand increasing, performance comparison of aerobic ethanol fermentation and anerobic butanol fermentation in a continuous and closed-circulating fermentation (CCCF) system was necessary to achieve their fermentation characteristics and further optimize the fermentation process. Fermentation and pervaporation parameters including the average cell concentration, glucose consumption rate, cumulated production concentration, product flux, and separation factor of ethanol fermentation were 11.45 g/L, 3.70 g/L/h, 655.83 g/L, 378.5 g/m2/h, and 4.83, respectively, the corresponding parameters of butanol fermentation were 2.19 g/L, 0.61 g/L/h, 28.03 g/L, 58.56 g/m2/h, and 10.62, respectively. Profiles of fermentation and pervaporation parameters indicated that the intensity and efficiency of ethanol fermentation was higher than butanol fermentation, but the stability of butanol fermentation was superior to ethanol fermentation. Although the two fermentation processes had different features, the performance indicated the application prospect of both ethanol and butanol production by the CCCF system.

RESUMO

Acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation using Clostridium acetobutylicum was studied in the continuous and closed-circulating fermentation (CCCF) system. The experiment lasting for 192 H was carried out by integrating fermentation with in situ pervaporation. In the entire process, the cell growth profile took place in the following two phases: the logarithmic phase during early 28 H and the linear phase from 130 to 150 H. This was a unique characteristic compared with the curve of traditional fermentation, and the fitting equations of two growth phases were obtained by Origin software according to the kinetic model of cell growth. Besides, the kinetic parameters that include the butanol yield, maximum specific growth rate, average specific formation rate, and volumetric productivity of butanol were measured as 0.19 g g(-1) , 0.345 H(-1) , 0.134 H(-1) and 0.23 g L(-1)  H(-1) , respectively. The C. acetobutylicum in the CCCF system showed good adaptability and fermentation performance, and the prolonged fermentation period and high production were also the main advantages of CCCF technology.

RESUMO

We present a protocol for the preparation of surface-imprinted polymer microspheres by core-shell precipitation polymerization for the enantioseparation of (S)-amlodipine. In this work, submicron mesoporous silica microspheres were prepared with gemini cationic surfactant as soft template. Molecularly imprinted polymers were coated on the silica supports with a low level of crosslinking, and the thickness of the thin-walled imprinted shell was about 45 nm. The material showed fast binding kinetics for (S)-amlodipine (within only 20 min for complete equilibrium), and the saturation adsorption capacity reached 309.2 mg/g, indicating the good accessibility of binding sites and improved mass transfer for target molecule. The imprinted microspheres exhibited an appreciable enantiomeric excess of (S)-amlodipine of 11.3% when used as a glass chromatography column for the enantioseparation of (S)-amlodipine from amlodipine besylate without extra chiral additives. The surface-imprinted materials display potentially amplification for industrial enantioseparation of (S)-amlodipine.

RESUMO

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential of PEGylated solid lipid nanoparticle (pSLN) as mucus penetrating particles (MPP) for oral delivery across gastrointestinal mucus. The SLN was prepared by an aqueous solvent diffusion method, subsequently modified with PEG2000-stearic acid (PEG2000-SA) as hydrophilic groups. Surface properties, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, and transport across Caco-2/HT29 coculture cell monolayers, intestinal absorption, and pharmacokinetics of pSLN were studied compared with that of SLN. Quantitative cellular uptake showed that the internalization of SLN and pSLN was an active transfer process, which would be restrained by several inhibitors of cell activity. Compared with SLN, the permeation ability of pSLN decreased through Caco-2 cell monolayer while it increased through a mucus-secreting Caco-2/HT29 coculture cell monolayer, which indicated that the mucus layer has a significant impact on determining the efficiency of oral nanoformulations. In addition to increasing permeation ability, the stability of the nanoparticles in simulated intestinal fluids was also increased by the PEGylation. Moreover, in vitro everted gut sac technique and the ligated intestinal loops model in vivo also demonstrated that pSLN can rapidly penetrate mucus secretions, whereas the SLN were strongly trapped by highly viscoelastic mucus barriers. The pharmacokinetic studies presented that pSLN exhibited improved absorption efficiency and prolonged blood circulation times with a 1.99-fold higher relative bioavailability compared with SLN. In conclusion, PEGylated solid lipid nanoparticles had advantages in enhancing the bioavailability of oral administration.

RESUMO

As an artificial biomimetic receptor, molecularly-imprinted polymer (MIP) has been widely used for the separation, enrichment and detection of various substances. However, due to the complexity of virus structure, huge volume and the existence of highly similar viruses, MIP shows unsatisfactory selectivity in virus detection. To overcome these issues, two kinds of virus nanoMIPs, just like a "cap", were synthesized by a solid-phase imprinting nanogel technique. The "cap" had no inner core and was much smaller than that of a conventional MIP, which was more favorable for mass transfer. Moreover, each "cap" could only combine with one target virus, which avoided the interference between large-volume virus molecules effectively. The two synthesized "caps" were mixed to construct a bifunctional MIP virus sensor for the simultaneous detection of Hepatitis A virus (HAV) and Hepatitis B virus (HBV). As expected, the selectivity factor (SF) for HBV detection reached 13.7, which was much higher than the reported virus MIP sensors (SF: 3-6), which was comparable to that of small molecular imprinting sensors. In addition, the high sensitivity toward HBV was 34.3 fM, and that of HAV was 27.1 pM. This method provides an idea for preparing high-selectivity biomacro-MIPs, as well as a method for the simultaneous detection of similar viruses with high sensitivity and selectivity. The recovery experiment of spiked serum showed that this method also has great practical application prospects.

RESUMO

Dermal exposure to chemicals released from daily consumer products is a rising concern, particularly for children who are susceptible to unintentional hand-to-mouth transfer and related chemical exposure risk. However, chemical transfer induced by tiny particles of intact products has yet to be adequately addressed. The objective of the present study was to determine the potentiality of particles release from intact erasers and pen grips upon dermal contact by measuring the migration rates of the embedded plasticizers (phthalates and its alternatives). The results showed that billions of particles were released from erasers (0.6-1.2 × 109) and pen grips (0.2-1.6 × 108) upon dermal contact at ambient temperature, with sizes mainly smaller than 1 µm. The composition of eraser leachates was identical to that of the corresponding bulk eraser, as confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and pyrolysis. Migrated hydrophobic plasticizers may be used as indicators of particle release from erasers and pen grips. The potentiality of particle release was negatively correlated with the total plasticizer contents (r = -0.51; p < 0.05) for both erasers and pen grips. These findings indicated that particles directly released from school supplies and accessories could be a non-negligible source of human exposure to plasticizers.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To assess taxonomic and functional characteristics of tumor-bearing microbiota and its association with response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We performed metagenomic sequencing of biopsy tumoral tissues from 73 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer before nCRT. Patients were classified into poor responders (PR) and good responders (GR) according to response to nCRT. Subsequent investigation of network alteration, key community, microbial biomarkers, and function related to nCRT responses were carried out. RESULTS: The network-driven analysis systematically revealed 2 co-occurring bacteria modules that exhibited opposite relationship with rectal cancer radiosensitivity. In the 2 modules, prominent alteration of global graph properties and community structure was observed between networks of PR and GR group. By quantifying changes in between-group association patterns and abundances, a total of 115 discriminative biomarker species linked to nCRT response were found, and 35 microbial variables were selected to establish the optimal randomForest classifier for nCRT response prediction. It yielded an area under the curve value of 85.5% (95% CI, 73.3%-97.8%) in the training cohort and 88.4% (95% CI, 77.5%-99.4%) in the validation cohort. In a comprehensive consideration, 5 key bacteria showed high relevance with inducing resistance to nCRT, including Streptococcus equinus, Schaalia odontolytica, Clostridium hylemonae, Blautia producta, and Pseudomonas azotoformans. One key hub including several butyrate-formation bacteria involving with driving network alteration from GR to PR indicate that microbiota-derived butyrate may also be involved in reducing the antitumor effects of nCRT, especially Coprococcus. The functional analysis of metagenome linked the nitrate and sulfate-sulfur assimilation, histidine catabolic process, and resistance to cephamycin to the reduced therapeutic response. It also linked to leucine degradation, isoleucine biosynthesis, taurine, and hypotaurine metabolism to the improved response to nCRT. CONCLUSIONS: Our data offer novel potential microbial factors and shared metagenome function linked to resistance to nCRT.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the regulating mechanism of iron regulatory protein-2 (IRP2) in the iron metabolism of lung cancer. METHODS: The cultured A549 cells were divided into 3 groups: liposome group (including liposomes 20 mg/L), random oligonucleotide group (SCODN group) and antisense oligonucleotide group (ASODN group). And the liposome-mediated transfection was employed with the liposome and SCODN groups as controls. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot were used to examine the mRNA and protein expressions of iron metabolism-related transferring (Tf), transferrin receptor (TfR) and ferritin (Fn) genes, etc. RESULTS: After a 48-hour transfection, the mRNA expression of Tf had no statistically significant difference among three groups (F = 2.18, P = 0.078); the mRNA expression of TfR in the ASODN group was significantly lower than that in the liposome and SCODN groups (P < 0.05). The expression of Fn mRNA in the ASODN group (0.56 ± 0.06) was higher than that in the liposome (0.36 ± 0.05) and SCODN groups (0.39 ± 0.03) (P < 0.05). After a 48-hour transfection, the IRP2 protein expression of the ASODN group was significantly lower than those of the liposome and SCODN groups (P < 0.05). The Tf protein expression was not statistically different in three groups (F = 2.67, P = 0.088). The TfR protein expression of the ASODN group was lower than those of the liposome and SCODN groups (P < 0.05). And the Fn protein expression of the ASODN group was higher than those of the liposome and SCODN groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: IRP2 may affect the expressions of TfR and Fn in lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells by changing the amount of protein and regulating the iron metabolism.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Joubert syndrome (JS) is a group of rare congenital disorders characterized by cerebellar vermis dysplasia, developmental delay, and retina dysfunctions. Herein, we reported a Chinese patient carrying a new variant in the AHI1 gene with mild JS, and the 3D structure of the affected Jouberin protein was also predicted. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 31-year-old male, who presented difficulty at finding toys at the age of 2 years, night blindness from age of 5 years, intention tremor and walking imbalance from 29 years of age. Tubular visual field and retina pigmentation were observed on ophthalmology examinations, as well as molar tooth sign on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Whole exome sequence revealed two compound heterozygous variants at c.2105C>T (p.T702M) and c.1330A>T (p.I444F) in AHI1 gene. The latter one was a novel mutation. The 3D protein structure was predicted using I-TASSER and PyMOL, showing structural changes from functional ß-sheet and α-helix to non-functional D-loop, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Mild JS due to novel variants at T702M and I444F in the AHI1 gene was reported. The 3D-structural changes in Jouberin protein might underlie the pathogenesis of JS.

RESUMO

Accurate detection of viruses is of great significance in preventing further spreading of infections and developing appropriate clinical treatment. Herein, a fluorescence molecularly imprinted sensor based on a metal-organic framework with high selectivity and high sensitivity at concentrations down to the picomolar (pmol) level was developed to recognize Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). In this work, zinc acrylate was used as the functional monomer to form molecularly imprinted polymers on the surface of a silicon-modified metal organic frameworks via free radical polymerization. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was then used as a blocking agent to enhance the ability of polymers to specifically recognize the template virus. Under optimal experimental conditions, the polymers exhibit a wide range of detection, 50 pmol L-1 to 1400 pmol L-1, within 20 min, a low detection limit (13 pmol L-1), and good selectivity (IF = 4.3). These advantages enable this molecularly imprinted (MIP) sensor for important practical application value and significance in the detection and prevention of viruses.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Nanomedicine has emerged as a novel therapeutic modality for cancer treatment and diagnosis. Lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPHNPs) are core-shell nanoparticle (NP) structures comprising polymer cores and lipid shells, which exhibit complementary characteristics of both polymeric NPs and liposomes. However, it is difficult to wrap perfluoropentane (PFP) into core-shell NPs in the existing preparation process, which limits its application in the integration of diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: The folate-targeted LPHNPs-loaded indocyanine green/PFP-carrying oxygen (TOI_HNPs) using a combination of two-step method and solution evaporation technique for the first time. The essential properties and dual-mode imaging characteristics of developed NPs were determined. The cellular uptake of TOI_HNPs was detected by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. The SKOV3 cell viability and apoptosis rate were evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometry. The ROS was demonstrated by fluorescence microplate reader and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) and IL-6 was detected by Western blot. RESULTS: TOI_HNPs showed spherical morphology with particle size about (166.83±5.54) nm and zeta potential at -(30.57±1.36) mV. It exhibited better stability than lipid NPs and higher encapsulation efficiency as well as active targeting ability than poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) NPs. In addition, the novel NPs could also act as the contrast agents for ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging, providing precision guidance and monitoring. Furthermore, TOI_HNPs-mediated photo-sonodynamic therapy (PSDT) caused more serious cell damage and more obvious cell apoptosis, compared with other groups. The PSDT mediated by TOI_HNPs induced generation of intracellular ROS and downregulated the expression of HIF-1α and IL-6 in SKOV3 cells. CONCLUSION: This kind of multifunctional-targeted nanoagent may provide an ideal strategy for combination of high therapeutic efficacy and dual-mode imaging guidance.

RESUMO

A magnetic surface molecularly imprinted-resonance light scattering sensor was developed for rapid and highly sensitive detection of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). To prepare the surface imprinted polymer, Fe3O4 microspheres were selected as imprinting substrates which coated by silicon. Aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) as functional monomers for fixing template molecules JEV through a polymerization process of tetraethyl-orthosilicate (TEOS). The target virus JEV could be captured by the imprinted particles fastly and selectively, resulting in an increase of the RLS intensity. The results of RLS analysis proved that the obtained imprinted nanoparticles exhibited excellent specific recognition ability and high selectivity for the template virus (JEV). Furthermore, the response time of the sensor is within 20 min, which is much shorter than the previous works. The sensor with convenient separation and the limit of detection was 1.3 pM. These experimental results show that the proposed strategy is expected to achieve rapid and sensitive detection of JEV in practical applications.

RESUMO

Considerable attention has been devoted to producing antibacterial fabrics due to their very wide applications in medicine, hygiene, hospital, etc. However, the poor antibacterial durability and bad bacterial antiadhesion capacity of most existing antibacterial fabrics limit their applications. In this work, a series of antibacterial and polymeric quaternary ammonium monomers with different alkyl chain length were successfully synthesized to copolymerize with fluorine-containing and other acrylic monomers to generate cationic fluorinated polymer emulsions and durably antibacterial and bacterially antiadhesive cotton fabrics. The relation between antibacterial constituent and its antibacterial activity was investigated. The study indicated that the alkyl chain length and contents of the antibacterial monomers, as well as the add-on percentage of polymer greatly influenced the antibacterial activities of the fabrics. In addition, it was found that incorporation of fluorine component into the polymer greatly enhanced the antibacterial activity and bacterial antiadhesion of the treated fabrics due to the low surface energy induced hydrophobicity. Finally, antibacterial and antiadhesive models of action of the obtained fabrics were illustrated.

RESUMO

We described a novel resonance light scattering (RLS) sensor for the specific recognition of trace quantities of Hepatitis A Virus (HAV); the sensor was based on a mussel-inspired hepatitis molecularly imprinted polymer. As a recognition element, polydopamine (PDA)-coated totivirus-imprinted polymer was introduced on the surface of SiO2 nanoparticles (virus-imprinted SiO2@PDA NPs) using an efficient one-step synthesis method. The target virus was selectively captured by the imprinted polymer films, thereby increasing the RLS intensity. A simple fluorescence spectrophotometer was employed to measure the changes in the intensity. The enhanced RLS intensity (∆IRLS) was proportional to the concentration of HAV in the range of 0.04-6.0nmol∙L-1, with a low limit of detection of 8.6pmol∙L-1. The selectivity study confirmed that the resultant HAV-imprinted SiO2@PDA NPs possessed high selectivity for HAV. The sensor was successfully applied for the direct detection of additional HAV from a 20,000-fold dilution of human serum. The proposed strategy is simple, eco-friendly, highly selective, and sensitive.

RESUMO

As biomarkers of many diseases, glycoproteins are of great significance to clinical diagnostics. However, the determination of low abundant glycoproteins in complex biological samples without any pretreatment process is still a problem. In this study, a rapid and convenient separation method for highly efficient enrichment of glycoproteins is reported, based on pH double-responsive imprinted magnetic microspheres. Thin imprinted polymer shells were fabricated onto the surface of magnetic microspheres by free radical polymerization, using 2-(Dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate as pH-sensitive monomer, 4-vinylphenylbronic acid as boronate affinity monomer, and ovalbumin (OVA) as template molecule. Combining the advantages of pH-sensitive monomer and boronate affinity monomer, rapidly capture-release of OVA could be modulated by changing solution pH. Moreover, high absorption ability (81.2mg/g) was achieved within about 10min. This study provided responsible way to imprint glycoproteins and showed great potential for glycoprotein detection in clinical diagnostic.
