Direct ink writing of vancomycin-loaded polycaprolactone/ polyethylene oxide/ hydroxyapatite 3D scaffolds

Novel inks were formulated by dissolving polycaprolactone (PCL), a hydrophobic polymer, in organic solvent systems; polyethylene oxide (PEO) was incorporated to extend the range of hydrophilicity of the system. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) with a weight ratio of 55–85% was added to the polymer-based solution to mimic the material composition of natural bone tissue. The direct ink writing (DIW) technique was applied to extrude the formulated inks to fabricate the predesigned tissue scaffold structures; the influence of HAp concentration was investigated. The results indicate that in comparison to other inks containing HAp (55%, 75%, and 85%w/w), the ink containing 65% w/w HAp had faster ink recovery behavior; the fabricated scaffold had a rougher surface as well as better mechanical properties and wettability. It is noted that the 65% w/w HAp concentration is similar to the inorganic composition of natural bone tissue. The elastic modulus values of PCL/PEO/HAp scaffolds were in the range of 4–12 MPa; the values were dependent on the HAp concentration. Furthermore, vancomycin as a model drug was successfully encapsulated in the PCL/PEO/HAp composite scaffold for drug release applications. This paper presents novel drug-loaded PCL/PEO/HAp inks for 3D scaffold fabrication using the DIW printing technique for potential bone scaffold applications.     

Simultaneous fractionation of multiple classes of polyphenols from honeybush tea using solid-phase extraction

The structural diversity of polyphenols and the inherent limitations of current extraction techniques pose a challenge to extract polyphenols using a simple and green method. Hence, in this study, a method was developed to simultaneously fractionate multiple classes of polyphenols by only varying ethanol-water solutions. Honeybush tea, which is rich in polyphenols, was selected as a model for this study. Solvent extraction followed by solid-phase extraction (SPE) was developed to obtain a polyphenol-rich fraction from six honeybush samples. Based on a gradient elution programme (10%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 90% (v/v) ethanol-water solution) of SPE, the Strata X cartridge showed a better recovery of most targeted polyphenols under 0.9 mL of the drying volume and 1 mL min⁻¹ of the dispensing speed. The elution programme for fractionating most polyphenols was as follows: single elution with 50% ethanol, followed by twice elution with 70% ethanol. The antioxidant capacity was used to analyse the differences among the polyphenol-rich fractions from six honeybush samples. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that unfermented C. genistoides (GG) has the greatest antioxidant capacity among the honeybush species studied. Additionally, mangiferin, isomangiferin and vicenin-2 were the main contributors to the antioxidant capacity in six honeybush fractions according to the correlation study.     

放电参数变化对电感耦合等离子闭式等离子体空间分布特性研究

射频电感耦合等离子体（ICP）在实际放电过程中，线圈的构型、电源参数、气压等外部工质条件的变化均会对结果产生较大影响，依靠实验很难得到多外部条件对ICP参数分布的影响机理和规律，因此需要结合仿真和实验的方法进行分析。该文通过建立感性线圈的电磁学有限元模型，分析不同线圈构型下射频电磁场在等离子体内部的空间分布，研究放电参数（线圈构型、功率大小）对等离子体分布影响和E-H模型下放电形态的跳变过程，并观察进入稳定H模式后电源参数的变化规律，为等离子体源的小型化工程应用提供理论基础。实验和仿真计算结果表明：不同线圈匝数在不同功率条件下，电磁场强度变化对等离子功率吸收和功率耦合有较大影响；当工作气压在0～20Pa时，ICP的电子密度呈轴对称分布，随着放电功率、气压的增大，等离子体吸收的功率和电离度也随之增加，其电子密度相应地增大，放电功率的增加会使得环状的等离子体区域随之扩大，在轴向、径向上的分布呈先逐渐增大而后在靠近腔室壁面区域迅速下降。

化脓隐秘杆菌对奶牛脾脏组织细胞凋亡的影响

目的观察化脓隐秘杆菌自然感染奶牛脾脏组织的病理学变化,并检测组织细胞中Caspase-3、Caspase-8、Caspase-9、Bax和Bcl-2的表达,以确定化脓隐秘杆菌感染对奶牛脾脏组织细胞凋亡的影响。方法筛检2头化脓隐秘杆菌阴性健康奶牛(对照)和5头自然感染化脓隐秘杆菌的奶牛,收集脾脏组织样本,采用本课题组国家发明专利方法,进行石蜡制片和HE染色,观察脾脏组织病理学变化;采用免疫组织化学方法与本课题组国家发明专利方法相结合,检测奶牛脾脏组织中与细胞正负凋亡相关的调节基因Bax和Bcl-2及凋亡通路蛋白Caspase-3、Caspase-8和Caspase-9的表达情况。结果肉眼观察可见化脓隐秘杆菌自然感染奶牛脾脏肿大、柔软,有出血;病理组织学观察可见脾脏组织出血,水肿,淋巴细胞数量减少,有坏死;脾脏淋巴细胞Caspase-3、Caspase-9和Bax表达阳性,与对照组相比,差异有统计学意义(P <0.05),少量淋巴细胞Caspase-8和Bcl-2表达阳性,与对照组相比,差异无统计学意义(P> 0.05)。结论化脓隐秘杆菌能够引起奶牛脾脏淋巴细胞发生坏死和凋亡;可通过调节脾脏中淋巴细胞Bcl-2家族的活性,引起其Bax和Bcl-2比率改变,增加淋巴细胞线粒体内外膜通透性,导致与凋亡相关因子的释放,激活Caspase-9,进一步激活Caspase-3,从而引起脾脏中淋巴细胞发生凋亡。
