Environmentally benign precipitation copolymerization of methacrylate ester and styrene to make polymeric microspheres in supercritical carbon dioxide

The polymeric microspheres were synthesized by the precipitation copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) with methacrylic acid(MAA) or 2‐hydoxyethyl methacrylate (2‐HEMA) containing styrene (ST) in SC‐CO₂. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the products were spherical microparticles, with the addition of MAA and/or 2‐HEMA as the monomer, with diameter of 0.2–2 μm. The effects of copolymerization pressure, temperature, and ratios of GMA/MAA, ST, and/or GMA/2‐HEMA, on the particle size and morphology were investigated in detail. A new experiment setup is proposed for the large amount of production, based on the rule of lower monomer concentration, more stable system, and better use of the present polymerization apparatus. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

表面活性剂辅助水热法中TiO2的形状控制

By hydrolysing titanium isopropoxide in a long hydrocarbon chain surfactant-containing solution, TiO2 fine particles with a diversity of well-defined morphologies was synthesized in this study by a hydrothermal route. The structural change during the formation process was monitored by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. TiO2 with various morphologies such as particle, sheet, rod, tube and flower-like shape was obtained by carefully controlling the preparation conditions. The experimental results show that the pH value is crucial for shape control of the produced TiO2 because it can change the charge state of the surfactant in the solution and the adsorption potential of the surfactant on the TiO2 surface. The shape evolvement of anatase TiO2 was elucidated by quenching the reaction at different stage and the formation mechanism of different shaped TiO2 was suggested.

铝阳极氧化膜孔内电沉积银及其抗菌性能

Aluminum specimens were anodized in a sulfuric acid bath, then silver was electrodeposited in pores of the anodized aluminum by using alternating current . The anodized aluminum with deposited silver was testedfor its antibacterial performance. The results show that the antibacterial rates of the specimens are above 95% against the growth of E. coil, P. aeruginasa, S. faecalis and S. aurens. The morphology of the silver in pores of anodized aluminum is characterized by transmission electron microscopy, and the micrographs indicate that silver is assembled in the form of nanowires with a diameter of 10 nm or 25 nm. The nanowires have a structure of parallel bright stripes alternating with parallel dark stripes.     

Synthesis and microstructure characterization of tetragonal Zr1–xTixO2 (x = 0–1) solid solutions

Oxide powders of Zr_1–xTi_xO₂ (x = 0–1) solid solutions with micron-sized particles were synthesized via a solution combustion method. The synthesis process and Zr/Ti molar ratio were optimized to produce powders with the tetragonal crystal structure. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron spectroscopy results confirm that a full crystallization microstructure with the single tetragonal phase is obtained after calcination at 600 °C while maintaining the crystallite size <30 nm. Zr/Ti oxide mixtures with Zr ≥ 67 mol% exhibit a tetragonal crystal structure and the embedding Ti in ZrO₂ improves the structure stability. The nitrogen sorption results indicate that the powders possess mesoporous morphology with medium specific surface areas (∼10–50 m²/g). Chemical stability tests show that these powders are relatively stable with negligible removal of titanium and zirconium after elution by 0.5 mol/L HCl. Density functional theory was used to calculate the most stable structure with low energy for the selected composition.     

Peptidyl Virus-Like Nanovesicles as Reconfigurable “Trojan Horse” for Targeted siRNA Delivery and Synergistic Inhibition of Cancer Cells

The self-assembly of peptidyl virus-like nanovesicles (pVLNs) composed of highly ordered peptide bilayer membranes that encapsulate the small interfering RNA (siRNA) is reported. The targeting and enzyme-responsive sequences on the bilayer's surface allow the pVLNs to enter cancer cells with high efficiency and control the release of genetic drugs in response to the subcellular environment. By transforming its structure in response to the highly expressed enzyme matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP-7) in cancer cells, it helps the siRNA escape from the lysosomes, resulting in a final silencing efficiency of 92%. Moreover, the pVLNs can serve as reconfigurable “Trojan horse” by transforming into membranes triggered by the MMP-7 and disrupting the cytoplasmic structure, thereby achieving synergistic anticancer effects and 96% cancer cell mortality with little damage to normal cells. The pVLNs benefit from their biocompatibility, targeting, and enzyme responsiveness, making them a promising platform for gene therapy and anticancer therapy.     

Spoken emotion recognition through optimum-path forest classification using glottal features

A new method for the recognition of spoken emotions is presented based on features of the glottal airflow signal. Its effectiveness is tested on the new optimum path classifier (OPF) as well as on six other previously established classification methods that included the Gaussian mixture model (GMM), support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural networks – multi layer perceptron (ANN-MLP), k-nearest neighbor rule (k-NN), Bayesian classifier (BC) and the C4.5 decision tree. The speech database used in this work was collected in an anechoic environment with ten speakers (5 M and 5 F) each speaking ten sentences in four different emotions: Happy, Angry, Sad, and Neutral. The glottal waveform was extracted from fluent speech via inverse filtering. The investigated features included the glottal symmetry and MFCC vectors of various lengths both for the glottal and the corresponding speech signal. Experimental results indicate that best performance is obtained for the glottal-only features with SVM and OPF generally providing the highest recognition rates, while for GMM or the combination of glottal and speech features performance was relatively inferior. For this text dependent, multi speaker task the top performing classifiers achieved perfect recognition rates for the case of 6th order glottal MFCCs.     

Molecular mechanism for the effects of trehalose on beta-hairpin folding revealed by molecular dynamics simulation

Recent work has shown that trehalose can facilitate and inhibit protein folding, but little is known about the molecular basis of these effects. Molecular-level insights into how the osmolyte affects protein folding are of significance for the rational design of small molecular additives for enhancing or hindering the folding of proteins. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of the facilitation and inhibition effects of trehalose on protein folding, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of a beta-hairpin peptide (Trp-Arg-Tyr-Tyr-Glu-Ser-Ser-Leu-Glu-Pro-Glu-Pro-Asp) in different trehalose concentrations (0-0.26 mol/L) is performed using an all-atom model. It is found that at a proper trehalose concentration (0.065 mol/L), the peptide folds faster than that in water, but it cannot fold to the beta-hairpin at higher trehalose concentrations. Free energy landscape analysis indicates the presence of three intermediate states in both pure water and in 0.065 mol/L trehalose, but the potential energy barriers in the folding pathway decrease greatly in 0.065 mol/L trehalose, so the peptide folding is facilitated. Moreover, at this trehalose concentration, there is a favorable balance between the peptide backbone hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) and the peptide-trehalose H-bonds, leading to the stabilization of the folded peptide. At higher trehalose concentrations, however, trehalose molecules cluster in the peptide region and interact with the peptide via many H-bonds that prevent the peptide from folding to its native structure. The energy landscape analysis indicates that the potential energy barriers increase so greatly that the peptide cannot overcome it, getting trapped in a local free energy basin. The work reported herein has elucidated the molecular mechanism of the peptide folding in the presence of trehalose.
