复相乳化法制备海藻酸钙微球及其释放行为

采用复相乳化法制备了载牛血清白蛋白(BSA)的海藻酸钙微球,通过正交实验和单因素分析,以BSA包埋率、微球的载药率和平均粒径为考察指标,优化了该方法的制备参数,使最终制备的微球平均粒径小于10 mm,球形度较好,包埋率约70%,载药率达4%. 随着海藻酸钠质量分数的降低和BSA质量的增大,微球的包埋率下降、载药率升高、平均粒径减小. 微囊化BSA的体外释放曲线表明,该系统存在pH响应特性,尤其在磷酸缓冲液中,被包埋BSA的释放速率较快. 电泳结果表明,BSA的分子结构并未受制备过程的影响. 因此,该微囊化方法有望用于蛋白类药物的控释制剂,使其免受胃酸等的破坏,达到肠部释药的目的.

本实验建立在之前对含淀粉乳胶涂料的流变特性和动态保水性的研究成果基础之上。前期研究表明,淀粉胶乳的流变性和动态保水性不同于传统熟化涂布淀粉。本实验采用血清置换法研究了水膨胀淀粉纳米粒子的基本性能及其胶体行为。结果表明,淀粉胶乳是由微粒和少量可溶性聚合物组成的复杂体系。提高交联度会减少可溶性组分,并降低分散黏度。实验室圆柱形涂布机形成的涂层显示,丁苯胶乳具有可塑性,在压光过程中起到润滑剂的作用,有助于提高纸张光泽度。将生物胶乳与羟乙基淀粉（接枝聚合物）交联可以提高涂料的保水性,但是低交联Bio-A的使用则会降低涂布纸的光泽度。     

表面带磺酸基团的聚苯乙烯微球的制备及其对蛋白质的吸附

研究了运用分散聚合法,在乙醇/水混合介质中,制备2-丙烯酰胺基-2-甲基丙磺酸(AMPS)与苯乙烯(St)的共聚微球。运用红外、核磁共振、激光光散射和扫描电子显微镜对功能微球进行表征。阐述了该微球对牛血清蛋白(BSA)的吸附量与吸附时间和pH值的关系。结果表明:功能微球对BSA的吸附先随时间的增长而增大,一段时间后达到平衡吸附。当pH值接近BSA等电点(pI=4.7)时,BSA的吸附量达到最大值。     

Analysis of microRNAs in Exosomes of Breast Cancer Patients in Search of Molecular Prognostic Factors in Brain Metastases

Brain metastases are the most severe tumorous spread during breast cancer disease. They are associated with a limited quality of life and a very poor overall survival. A subtype of extracellular vesicles, exosomes, are sequestered by all kinds of cells, including tumor cells, and play a role in cell-cell communication. Exosomes contain, among others, microRNAs (miRs). Exosomes can be taken up by other cells in the body, and their active molecules can affect the cellular process in target cells. Tumor-secreted exosomes can affect the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and have an impact on brain metastases forming. Serum samples from healthy donors, breast cancer patients with primary tumors, or with brain, bone, or visceral metastases were used to isolate exosomes and exosomal miRs. Exosomes expressed exosomal markers CD63 and CD9, and their amount did not vary significantly between groups, as shown by Western blot and ELISA. The selected 48 miRs were detected using real-time PCR. Area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy. We identified two miRs with the potential to serve as prognostic markers for brain metastases. Hsa-miR-576-3p was significantly upregulated, and hsa-miR-130a-3p was significantly downregulated in exosomes from breast cancer patients with cerebral metastases with AUC: 0.705 and 0.699, respectively. Furthermore, correlation of miR levels with tumor markers revealed that hsa-miR-340-5p levels were significantly correlated with the percentage of Ki67-positive tumor cells, while hsa-miR-342-3p levels were inversely correlated with tumor staging. Analysis of the expression levels of miRs in serum exosomes from breast cancer patients has the potential to identify new, non-invasive, blood-borne prognostic molecular markers to predict the potential for brain metastasis in breast cancer. Additional functional analyzes and careful validation of the identified markers are required before their potential future diagnostic use.     

基于毛细管电泳的双酚E与血清白蛋白行为成像

目的 建立双酚E（BPE）与血清白蛋白相互作用快速评价方法,为双酚类化合物毒理效应研究提供有益参考。方法 使用毛细管电泳仪,应用外标Hummel-Dreyer（HD）法,测定了体外环境中BPE与血清白蛋白相互作用电泳图。采用非线性方程、Scatchard方程和Klotz方程三种函数形式分析实验数据,获得体系的相互作用参数。结果 三种不同函数形式所得到的拟合参数具有较高的一致性。BPE与血清白蛋白结合比约为2,相互作用参数表明牛血清白蛋白及人血清白蛋白的结合反应存在相似的结合位点数,且结合稳定。不同白蛋白与BPE的相互作用相似,均为非共价相互作用。结论 外标HD法作为一种简便有效的方法可以快速评价蛋白质-污染物相互作用相关问题。BPE与不同血清白蛋白具有相似的温和相互作用,这提示双酚类化合物在人体中和牛中可能具有类似的污染分布规律。     

纤维素金属螯合亲和膜的制备及其对牛血清白蛋白的吸附研究

Rheological properties of foams generated from egg albumin after pH treatment

Rheological properties of foams at pH 4.5 and 8.5 made from egg albumin proteins after pH-induced unfolding and refolding treatments were investigated. The foams behaved as highly elastic materials. Static and dynamic yield stress was investigated using small, steady shear experiments. Yield stress was measured also in oscillation mode and high correlation was found between dynamic yield stress and critical stress amplitude. All pH treatments led to firmer foams than untreated foams at pH 8.5. At pH 8.5 the control foam had a very weak structure (static yield stress at 3.4 Pa and dynamic yield stress at 5.5 Pa for the fresh made foams), while pH-treated foams at pH 8.5 had values (static yield stress up to 39.2 Pa and dynamic yield stress up to 47.1 Pa for the fresh made foams) that were even higher than the values for the control at pH 4.5 (static yield stress at 22.4 Pa and dynamic yield stress at 25.4 Pa for the fresh made foams, which is a good foaming pH for egg albumin). It was shown that an increase in yield stress of foams after drainage is related to foam stability and liquid drainage. This study demonstrated that unfolding egg albumin at low or high pH followed by refolding leads to a substantial increase in foam firmness and gives the foam different properties than foams from untreated egg albumin.     

沙门菌属特异性检测靶点碱基差异位点的识别及其血清型决定力

以美国国家生物技术信息中心(NCBI)已公布的28株沙门菌(14个血清型)全基因组序列为研究对象,对前期研究获得的7个沙门菌属特异性检测靶点在不同血清型间的单核苷酸多态性进行比较分析,结果表明,S9和S69为碱基差异位点最多的两个靶点,具有沙门菌分子血清分型的潜在能力。随后,通过分析S9和S69在沙门菌不同血清型菌株中的差异位点,分别绘制两个血清分型靶点的差异位点表,从而获得了这两个靶点同时用于14个沙门菌血清型的快速分子血清分型的差异位点组合。在这些组合中,同一血清型具有相同的差异位点,不同血清型可以通过差异位点得以区分。最后,采集食品样品192份,用国标方法获得疑似沙门菌21株;利用血清分子分型靶点S9和S69进行快速分型,并同时用传统玻片凝集反应鉴定方法进行验证,两种方法鉴定结果的符合率为100%。鉴定结果为:21株沙门菌共包括4个不同血清型,其中肠炎沙门菌10株、鼠伤寒沙门菌7株、鸡沙门菌2株、纽波特沙门菌2株。基因组序列分析结果和分离株分型结果均表明,沙门菌特异分子检测靶点S9和S69相结合具备沙门菌的分子血清分型能力,以差异位点表为基础建立的血清分型方法有望替代传统的玻片凝集血清分型这一繁杂步骤,从而降低沙门菌血清鉴定的时间与成本,为聚合酶链式反应技术应用于沙门菌分子血清分型提供新思路。
