Enzymatic degradation of poly(L-lactide) and poly (epsilon-caprolactone) electrospun fibers

Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) ultrafine fibers were prepared by electrospinning. The influence of cationic and anionic surfactants on their enzymatic degradation behavior was investigated by measuring weight loss, molecular weight, crystallinity, and melting temperature of the fibers as a function of degradation time. Under the catalysis of proteinase K, the PLLA fibers containing the anionic surfactant sodium docecyl sulfate (SDS) exhibited a faster degradation rate than those containing cationic surfactant triethylbenzylammonium chloride (TEBAC), indicating that surface electric charge on the fibers is a critical factor for an enzymatic degradation. Similarly, TEBAC-containing PCL fibers exhibited a 47% weight loss within 8.5 h whereas SDS-containing PCL fibers showed little degradation in the presence of lipase PS. By analyzing the charge status of proteinase K and lipase PS under the experimental conditions, the importance of the surface charges of the fibers and their interactions with the charges on the enzymes were revealed. Consequently, a "two-step" degradation mechanism was proposed: (1) the enzyme approaches the fiber surface; (2) the enzyme initiates hydrolysis of the polymer.

Effects of acetic acid on product selectivity in gas phase oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexane

The effect of adding acetic acid on the product distribution in gas phase oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexane over alpha(1)-VOPO4 catalyst was investigated. The role of acetic acid in the reaction process was put forward. The proposed mechanism is that acetic acid take precedence of cyclohexane adsorbing on the active sites of alpha(1)-VOPO4 catalyst to form isolated active site. Thus, cyclohexene species can desorb quickly from the active sites, avoiding its deep oxidation dehydrogenation. Almost 100% selectivity to cyclohexene could be obtained when the molar ratio of acetic acid to cyclohexane was 12.9:1 at 450 degrees C, the conversion of cyclohexane was 6.9%.

Synthesis and properties of PPP-based copolymers containing phenothiazine moiety

Novel soluble alternating conjugated copolymers (PFSP and PFSR) comprised of phenothiazine unit are synthesized by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions. Their thermal stability, photoluminescence, electroluminescence, hole injection and transport properties are investigated. The resulting copolymers exhibit good thermal stability and excellent hole-injection ability (about -5.2eV), which are closely matched to the work function of ITO. Double-layer devices demonstrate that PFSP is a promising hole-transporting material for electroluminescent devices.

Factors influencing the climatological mixed layer depth in the South China Sea: numerical simulations

The mixed layer depth (MLD) in the upper ocean is an important physical parameter for describing the upper ocean mixed layer. We analyzed several major factors influencing the climatological mixed layer depth (CMLD), and established a numerical simulation in the South China Sea (SCS) using the Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS) with a high-resolution (1/12A degrees x1/12A degrees) grid nesting method and 50 vertical layers. Several ideal numerical experiments were tested by modifying the existing sea surface boundary conditions. Especially, we analyzed the sensitivity of the results simulated for the CMLD with factors of sea surface wind stress (SSWS), sea surface net heat flux (SSNHF), and the difference between evaporation and precipitation (DEP). The result shows that of the three factors that change the depth of the CMLD, SSWS is in the first place, when ignoring the impact of SSWS, CMLD will change by 26% on average, and its effect is always to deepen the CMLD; the next comes SSNHF (13%) for deepening the CMLD in October to January and shallowing the CMLD in February to September; and the DEP comes in the third (only 2%). Moreover, we analyzed the temporal and spatial characteristics of CMLD and compared the simulation result with the ARGO observational data. The results indicate that ROMS is applicable for studying CMLD in the SCS area.

迟缓爱德华氏菌(Edwardsiella tarda) LuxS/AI-2群体感应系统研究

从患病牙鲆中分离出迟缓爱德华氏菌株TX1，经报告菌株检测发现TX1有AI-2活性。用梯度PCR和Genome walking的方法克隆了TX1 luxS基因，将luxS基因在大肠杆菌DH5α中表达，证明其具有功能活性。在TX1中，luxS的表达与AI-2的活性基本是一致的，二者均受生长时期和生长条件的调节，即在glucose存在的条件下luxS表达和AI-2活性升高，而在高温条件下luxS表达和AI-2活性降低。glucose对AI-2活性以及luxS表达的影响经过荧光定量PCR，启动子活性检测，AI-2活性检测以及凝胶滞缓等一系列的实验证实是由cAMP-CRP复合物介导的，该复合物可以通过与luxS启动子相互作用而抑制luxS的表达。RNA干扰表明，TX1中luxS表达被干扰以后，对细菌产生了多方面的影响，包括：(1) 降低AI-2水平；(2) 降低细菌的生长能力；(3) 降低Ⅲ型分泌系统相关基因的表达水平以及生物膜的形成能力；(4) 减弱细菌毒力。外源AI-2的添加可以回复Ⅲ型分泌系统相关基因的表达水平以及生物膜的形成，但是并不能修复生长状况，表明LuxS在TX1中具有双重功能，即参与细胞代谢以及群体感应信号传导。基于LuxS/AI-2群体感应系统对细菌毒力的重要性，设计并筛选了一个该系统的阻遏因子5411。Pull-down实验证明5411可以和LuxS特异性结合。研究表明5411在TX1中表达导致细菌毒力显著下降。将5411克隆至牙鲆共生菌FP3中，发现5411可以被分泌到胞外并能被TX1吸收。将表达5411的共生菌导入牙鲆，发现其能够有效阻遏TX1对牙鲆的侵染。 这些结果表明：(1) TX1中AI-2的活性受控于LuxS，而后者则受生长时期和生长条件的调控；(2) luxS的正常表达对于细菌的正常生长和侵染是必需的；(3) LuxS/AI-2群体感应系统调控Ⅲ型分泌系统相关毒力因子的表达；(4) 通过阻遏LuxS/AI-2群体感应系统来抑制病原菌侵染是一种具有潜力的新型病害防控方法。

整合多尺度地球物理数据建立高分辨率储层模型的方法及应用

Most of the fields in China are in the middle-late development phase or are mature fields. It becomes more and more difficult to develop the remaining oil/gas. Therefore, it is import to enhance oil/gas recovery in order to maintain the production. Fine scale modeling is a key to improve the recovery. Incorporation of geological, seismic and well log data to 3D earth modeling is essential to build such models. In Ken71 field, well log, cross-well seismic and 3D seismic data are available. A key issue is to build 3D earth model with these multi-scales data for oil field development.In this dissertation, studies on sequential Gaussian-Bayesian simulation have been conducted. Its comparison with cokriging and sequential Gaussian simulation has been performed. The realizations generated by sequential Gaussian-Bayesian simulation have higher vertical resolution than those generated by other methods. Less differences between these realization and true case are observed. With field data, it is proved that incorporating well log, cross-well seismic and 3D seismic into 3D fine scale model is reliable. In addition, the advantages of sequential Gaussian-Bayesian simulation and conditions for input data are demonstrated. In Ken71 field, the impedance difference between sandstone and shale is small. It would be difficult to identify sandstone in the reservoir with traditional impedance inversion. After comparisons of different inversion techniques, stochastic hillclimbing inversion was applied. With this method, shale content inversion is performed using 3D seismic data. Then, the inverted results of shale content and well log data are incorporated into 3D models. This demonstrates a procedure to build fine scale models using multi scale seismic data, especially 3D seismic amplitude volume.The models generated through sequential Gaussian-Bayesian simulation have several advantages including: (1) higher vertical resolution compared with 3D inverted acoustic impedance (AI); (2) consistency of lateral variation as 3D inverted AI; (3) more reliability due to integration cross-well seismic data. It is observed that the precision of the model depends on the 3D inversion.
