Molecular modeling on human CCR5 receptors and complex with CD4 antigens and HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120

AIM: To investigate the interaction between human CCR5 receptors (CCR5) and HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 (HIV-1 gp120) and HIV-1 receptor CD4 antigens (CD4). METHODS: The structurally con served regions (SCR) of human CCR5 was built by the SYBYL/Biopolymer module using the corresponding transmembrane (TM) domain of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) as the template. The coordinates for amino-ter minal residue sequence, and carboxyl-terminal residue sequence, extracellular and cytoplasmic loops were generated using LOOP SEARCH algorithm. Subsequently the structural model was merged into the complex with HIV-1 gp120 and CD4. RESULTS: Human CCR5 interacted with both an HIV-1 gp120 and CD4. The N-terminal residues (especially Met1 and Gln4) of human CCR5, contacted with CD4 residues, mainly 7Nith one span (56 - 59) of CD4 in electrostatic interaction and hydrogen-bonds. The binding sites of human CCR5 were buried in a hydrophobic center surrounded by a highly basic periphery. On the other hand, direct interatomic contacts were made between ? CCR5 residues and 6 gp120 amino-acid residues, which included van der Waals contacts, hydrophobic interaction, and hydrogen bonds. CONCLUSION: The interaction model should be helpful for rational design of novel anti-HIV drugs.

Molecular cloning and characterization analysis of immunoglobulin M heavy chain gene in European eel (Anguilla anguilla)

In this study, the immunoglobulin M heavy chain gene of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) was cloned and analyzed. The full-length cDNA of the IgM heavy chain gene (GenBank accession no. EF062515) has 2089 nucleotides encoding a putative protein of 581 amino acids. The IgM heavy chain was composed of leader peptide (L), variable domain (VH), CH1, CH2. Hinge, CH3, CH4, and C-terminus and two novel continuous putative N-glycosylation sites were found close to the second cysteine of CH3 in A. anguilla-H1 and A. anguilla-H2. The deduced amino acid sequence of the European eel IgM heavy chain constant region shared similarities to that of the Ladyfish (Elops saurus). Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Grass carp (Ctenopharingodon idella), Common carp (Cyprinus carpio), Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), and the orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) with the identity of 46.1%, 39.7%, 38.9%, 32.4%, 32.3%, 31.7%, and 30.7%, respectively. The highest level of IgM gene expression was observed in the kidney, followed by the spleen, gills, liver, muscle and heart in the apparently healthy European eels. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Carbon source/sink function of a subtropical, eutrophic lake determined from an overall mass balance and a gas exchange and carbon burial balance

Although studies on carbon burial in lake sediments have shown that lakes are disproportionately important carbon sinks, many studies on gaseous carbon exchange across the water-air interface have demonstrated that lakes are supersaturated with CO2 and CH4 causing a net release of CO2 and CH4 to the atmosphere. In order to more accurately estimate the net carbon source/sink function of lake ecosystems, a more comprehensive carbon budget is needed, especially for gaseous carbon exchange across the water-air interface. Using two methods, overall mass balance and gas exchange and carbon burial balance, we assessed the carbon source/sink function of Lake Donghu, a subtropical, eutrophic take, from April 2003 to March 2004. With the overall mass balance calculations, total carbon input was 14 905 t, total carbon output was 4950 1, and net carbon budget was +9955 t, suggesting that Lake Donghu was a great carbon sink. For the gas exchange and carbon burial balance, gaseous carbon (CO2 and CH4) emission across the water-air interface totaled 752 t while carbon burial in the lake sediment was 9477 t. The ratio of carbon emission into the atmosphere to carbon burial into the sediment was only 0.08. This low ratio indicates that Lake Donghu is a great carbon sink. Results showed good agreement between the two methods with both showing Lake Donghu to be a great carbon sink. This results from the high primary production of Lake Donghu, substantive allochthonous carbon inputs and intensive anthropogenic activity. Gaseous carbon emission accounted for about 15% of the total carbon output, indicating that the total output would be underestimated without including gaseous carbon exchange. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

The change of gaseous carbon fluxes following the switch of dominant producers from macrophytes to algae in a shallow subtropical lake of China

Successions of lake ecosystems from clear-water, macrophyte-rich conditions into turbid states with abundant phytoplankton have taken place in many shallow lakes in China. However, little is know about the change of carbon fluxes in lakes during such processes. We conducted a case study in Lake Biandantang to investigate the change of carbon fluxes during such a regime shift. Dissolved aquatic carbon and gaseous carbon (methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2)) across air-water interface in three sites with different vegetation covers and compositions were studied and compared. CH4 emissions from three sites were 0.62 +/- 0.36, 0.70 +/- 0.36, and 1.31 +/- 0.57 mg m(-2) h(-1), respectively. Correlation analysis showed that macrophytes, rather than phytoplankton, directly positively affected CH4 emission. CO2 fluxes of three sites in Lake Biandantang were significantly different, and the average values were 77.8 +/- 20.4, 52.2 +/- 14.1 and 3.6 +/- 26.8 mg m(-2) h(-1), respectively. There were an evident trend that the larger macrophyte biomass, the lower CO2 emissions. Correlation analysis showed that in different sites, dominant plant controlled CO2 flux across air-water interface. In a year cycle, the percents of gaseous carbon release from lake accounting for net primary production were significantly different (from 39.3% to 2.8%), indicating that with the decline of macrophytes and regime shift, the lake will be a larger carbon source to the atmosphere.

Methane and carbon dioxide fluxes from a shallow hypereutrophic subtropical Lake in China

Up to now, there have been few studies in the annual fluxes of greenhouse gases in lakes of subtropical regions. The fluxes of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) across air-water interface were measured in a shallow, hypereutrophic, subtropical Lake Donghu (China) over a year cycle, using a static chamber technique. During the year, Lake Donghu emitted CH4 and CO2; the average flux of CH4 and CO2 was 23.3 +/- 18.6 and 332.3 +/- 160.1 mg m(-2) d(-1), respectively. The fluxes of CH4 and CO2 showed strong seasonal dynamics: CH4 emission rate was highest in summer, remaining low in other seasons, whereas CO2 was adsorbed from the atmosphere in spring and summer, but exhibited a large emission in winter. Annual carbon (C) budget across air-water interface in Lake Donghu was estimated to be 7.52 +/- 4.07 x 10(8) g. CH4 emission was correlated positively with net primary production (NPP) and temperature, whereas CO2 flux correlated negatively with NPP and temperature; however, there were no significant relationships between the fluxes of CH4 and CO2 and dissolved organic carbon, a significant difference from boreal lakes, indicating that phytoplankton rather than allochthonous matter regulated C dynamics across air-water interface of subtropical lake enriched nutrient content.

Diel variation of methane fluxes in summer in a eutrophic subtropical lake in China

The summer diel variation of methane (CH4) flux was investigated in a eutrophic, subtropical lake in China. The CH4 concentration was always supersaturated, and the emission rate ranged from 0.24 to 45.51 mg m(-2) h(-1). The diel variations of CH4 flux in June and August showed a single peak in early afternoon and a minimum in the morning, while the pattern varied irregularly in May. There was a moderate relationship between water and sediment temperature and CH4 emission rate in some months.

Impacts of hydrogen dilution on growth and optical properties of a-SiC : H films

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon-carbon (a-SiC:H) films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with a fixed methane to silane ratio ([CH4]/[SiH4]) of 1.2 and a wide range of hydrogen dilution (R-H=[H-2]/[SiH4 + CH4]) values of 12, 22, 33, 102 and 135. The impacts of RH on the structural and optical properties of the films were investigated by using UV-VIS transmission, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption, Raman scattering and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The effects of high temperature annealing on the films were also probed. It is found that with increasing hydrogen dilution, the optical band gap increases, and the PL peak blueshifts from similar to1.43 to 1.62 eV. In annealed state, the room temperature PL peak for the low R-H samples disappears, while the PL peak for the high R-H samples appears at similar to 2.08 eV, which is attributed to nanocrystalline Si particles confined by Si-C and Si-O bonds.

Parameters determining crystallinity in beta-SiC thin films prepared by catalytic chemical vapor deposition

The effects of deposition gas pressure and H-2 dilution ratio (H-2/SiH4+CH4+H-2), generally considered two of dominant parameters determining crystallinity in beta-SiC thin films prepared by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD), often called hot-wire CVD method, on the films properties have been systematically studied. As deposition gas pressure increase from 40 to 1000 Pa, the crystallinity of the films is improved. From the study of H-2 dilution ratio, it is considered that H-2 plays a role as etching gas and modulating the phases in beta-SiC thin films. On the basis of the study on the parameters, nanocrystalline beta-SiC films were successfully synthesized on Si substrate at a low temperature of 300degreesC. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra show formation of beta-SiC. Moreover, according to Sherrer equation, the average grain size of the films estimated is in nanometer-size. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Nanodiamond formation by hot-filament chemical vapor deposition on carbon ions bombarded Si

Nanocrystalline diamond films were grown by a two-step process on Si(1 0 0) substrate, which was first pretreated by pure carbon ions bombardment. The bombarded Si substrate was then transformed into a hot-filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) system for further growth. Using the usual CH4/H-3 feed gas ratio for micro crystalline diamond growth, nanodiamond crystallites were obtained. The diamond nucleation density is comparable to that obtained by biasing the substrate. The uniformly distributed lattice damage is proposed to be responsible for the formation of the nanodiamond.

Improved neutron radiation hardness for Si detectors: Application of low resistivity starting material and or manipulation of N-eff by selective filling of radiation-induced traps at low temperatures

Radiation-induced electrical changes in both space charge region (SCR) of Si detectors and bulk material (BM) have been studied for samples of diodes and resistors made on Si materials with different initial resistivities. The space charge sign inversion fluence (Phi(inv)) has been found to increase linearly with the initial doping concentration (the reciprocal of the resistivity), which gives improved radiation hardness to Si detectors fabricated from low resistivity material. The resistivity of the BM, on the other hand, has been observed to increase with the neutron fluence and approach a saturation value in the order of hundreds k Omega cm at high fluences, independent of the initial resistivity and material type. However, the fluence (Phi(s)), at which the resistivity saturation starts, increases with the initial doping concentrations and the value of Phi(s) is in the same order of that of Phi(inv) for all resistivity samples. Improved radiation hardness can also be achieved by the manipulation of the space charge concentration (N-eff) in SCR, by selective filling and/or freezing at cryogenic temperatures the charge state of radiation-induced traps, to values that will give a much smaller full depletion voltage. Models have been proposed to explain the experimental data.

生物油热解与燃烧特性的实验研究

生物质快速热解制油技术能以连续的工艺和工厂化的生产方式将木屑等生物质转化为易储存、易运输、能量密度高的生物油，是目前受到较多关注的一种转换技术。生物油既可以在锅炉中直接燃烧使用，也可用于热解气化制备合成气，再进一步合成为高品质的液体燃料。 为更好地处理生物油燃烧与热解过程中出现的问题，并为燃烧与热解反应装置的设计及优化提供必要数据，本文首先对由木屑在自热式生物质热解液化装置中热解得到的生物油进行了各种理化特性的分析，之后利用热重、热重-红外联用、管式炉等对生物油的热解与燃烧特性进行了实验研究。 生物油在氮气与氧气气氛下、不同升温速率的热重分析试验表明：生物油的热解分为两个阶段，第一阶段为生物油中低沸点有机物的挥发以及各组分间反应生成各类产物的过程，第二阶段为各种重组分的裂解过程。而生物油的燃烧则分为三个阶段，即前期的挥发与裂解和最后焦炭的燃烧过程。升温速率的升高使得氮气气氛中生物油样品的初始失重温度、失重峰值温度及对应的最大失重速率均有所增大，且在较高升温速率(20℃/min)下，较少含炭残余物形成。随升温速率升高，生物油着火温度提高，最终失重率无显著变化。采用热重-红外联用技术，对生物油热解过程中所释放气体进行了实时监测，在线分析结果表明，反应初始阶段主要析出物为自由水、低沸点的酸类、醇类、醛类、酮类等，随后主要释放物为水、CO2等，主要来自重组分的裂解。最后根据热重数据对热解与燃烧各段反应进行了动力学拟合。动力学分析结果表明：氮气气氛中生物油的热解过程可用两个一级反应来描述，对应其热解过程中的两个不同阶段，而生物油的燃烧过程可用三个一级反应来表示。 生物油的管式炉热解实验表明：随热解温度的升高，生物油产气率不断提高，在1100℃时达到最大值398ml/g。生物油热解气体产物中主要包含H2、CO、CO2及烃类如CH4、C2H4、C2H6等,产气热值在16.9～19.1MJ/Nm3间。在900℃下，生物油各种产物气体、残炭、焦油的比例约为30:6:64,残炭含量低于同温度下木粉热解结果，而焦油含量较高。

回转窑热解处理废锌锰电池试验研究

我国电池生产量已经达到209亿节（2003年），多年来一直占据世界第一大电池生产国的地位，其中锌锰电池占大多数。废锌锰电池丢弃后，其中的重金属物质会逐渐渗透到地下，污染土壤和水体。重金属在生物体内富集，会使生物体致畸或致变。但同时，废锌锰电池中也含有大量有用的资源如锌、二氧化锰等。应对其进行回收利用，变废为宝。本文介绍了废锌锰电池回收处理的主要技术及研究进展，不同的处理技术回收废锌锰电池时的目标产物各不相同，但一般可分为以下几种：以单质形式回收锌、锰和汞；以合金的形式回收锌和锰；回收锌和二氧化锰；回收各金属元素制备复合微量元素肥料；回收锌、锰元素制备锰锌铁氧体；回收锌、锰元素制备硫酸锌和碳酸锰等。本文对一些废锌锰电池回收处理技术的优缺点从无害化程度、资源化程度、产品等级、工艺要求以及二次污染五个方面进行了分析和比较。在对国内外废锌锰电池回收处理技术进行分析比较的基础上提出了一种成本较低、可操作性较强的处理技术：先以干法除去废锌锰电池中的汞，然后以湿法除去其它的有害重金属并进一步加工制备有机螯合微量元素肥料。 本文以回转窑中物料停留时间的经验公式和传热学的知识设计和计算了回转窑的长度和内径尺寸、电热丝的功率以及外围的保温材料厚度等参数。用保温材料和润滑油相结合的方式对回转窑的连接部分实行密封。通过调整回转窑的转速和回转窑支架两端高度差的方式控制物料在回转窑中的停留时间，从而调节热解时间的长短。利用自动控制设备调节电热丝的功率从而调节试验中的热解温度。利用该回转窑在不同条件下对热解处理废锌锰电池进行了试验研究，热解过程中产生的尾气和颗粒物用一系列吸收液进行吸收和固定。 在热解试验中改变影响热解过程的三种因素：热解温度、热解时间和载气流速并按三因素四水平的正交方法安排试验。改变废锌锰电池热解过程中的热解温度、热解时间和载气流速三种因素进行正交试验并利用正交统计学的方法分析了这三种因素对热解除汞率的影响。利用ICP检测仪测定了各吸收液中汞的含量，并分析热解气体产物经过系列吸收液时汞被吸收的情况以及汞的形态分布。利用气相色谱仪对尾气成分进行了测定，并对热解过程中产气的过程和规律进行了分析。用X射线衍射测试的方法研究了热解前后锌锰电池的物质形态变化情况。对除汞率的正交统计分析表明，合适的热解条件为：热解温度690℃，热解时间100min，载气流速0.06m3/h，在这种试验条件下热解处理废锌锰电池的除汞率达到100%。同时还得到：热解时间对除汞效果影响最大，热解温度次之，载气流速的影响较小。ICP测试的结果表明：热解尾气在经过试验中设置的吸收瓶后，其中的汞被完全吸收，尾气中95%以上的汞以单质的形式存在。气相色谱分析的结果表明，热解开始后，废锌锰电池中的有机质迅速分解，其产物为C2H4、CH4和H2等。一段时间后，有机质的分解量大幅度减少，同时废电池中的石墨碳和高价金属氧化物发生氧化还原反应，生成CO气体。对废锌锰电池原料以及热解残渣的X射线衍射分析表明，当热解温度为350℃时，X射线衍射图谱上2θ值为35°附近的区域有新峰出现，但不明显，说明有结晶体形成但量不大。500℃时上述峰明显增强，这是由于ZnO和FeO形成了结晶体，同时在2θ值为41°附近有新峰出现，这是高价锰氧化物与石墨碳发生氧化还原反应生成了MnO并形成了结晶体。650℃时，2θ值在41°附近的峰显著增强，且热解过程中形成的峰稳定下来，基本上不再有新的结晶体生成。热解后，高价锰氧化物的相对含量从32.2%下降到4.6%，而MnO的相对含量则从6.4%上升到38.6%。热解后的残渣中晶体物质含量大，金属元素大多以低价态存在，适合于制备有机螯合微量元素肥料。

广东典型藻类特点及其能源利用可能性研究

大型海藻的生产力高，生产成本低，是一种理想的能源作物。广东省是我国海洋大省之一，约35万平方公里的海域，海藻物种丰富，为海藻养殖提供了有利的条件。我省是能源消耗大省，大部分依靠外省调入和进口，发展海藻能源技术是缓解能源问题的重要途径之一。目前，海藻作为生物质的利用技术还不成熟。在本论文中，选用我省常见的江蓠、马尾藻和麒麟菜三种的大型的海藻进行热解和发酵实验。 首先，对海藻在不同温度下（400℃～900℃）热解得到的各产物（气体、焦油和残渣）产率和热值以及气体组分进行了分析，研究了各热解产物产率、热值和气体组分随温度的变化规律，分析热解过程中的K、Ca、Na、Mg等元素的析出和迁移规律。用去离子水和稀盐酸对海藻进行洗滤预处理，研究其热解特性，进行热重分析，建立海藻热解的反应动力学模型，并计算海藻的动力学参数。分析结果表明：热解气体中的主要成分为H2、CO、CH4、C2H4、C2H6等，热解气低位热值介于5～15 MJ/m3之间。海藻本身具有灰分含量较高和热值较低的特点，水洗可以有效地脱除部分的碱金属，并可以减少灰分含量，改善海藻的热解特性。 其次，以江蓠和马尾藻为底物进行发酵。结果表明：海藻中含有大量金属阳离子，直接发酵容易溶解到料液中，抑制微生物生长，影响发酵效果。用淡水浸泡以后的海藻能容易进行发酵。江蓠的产气率要高于马尾藻。在发酵温度为35℃，简单破碎，料液浓度为5%的条件下，江蓠TS（总固体）产气率是390.6L/kg 。在55℃，颗粒大小0.6～0.9mm，料液浓度为5%的条件下，马尾藻TS产气率是173.1L/kg。 通过对比海藻热解和发酵过程及结果的比较可以发现，海藻热解产气率低，碱金属容易析出；海藻发酵可以直接利用湿原料，产气率高，但发酵时间较长，需要合适的菌种。在目前没有特殊专有技术的情况下，采用发酵比采用热解实现海藻的能源化利用可能性更大。 最后，对本论文的研究探讨进行总结，并对今后进一步完善该工作提出了建议。
