By means of "emulsion-electrospinning", both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs, paclitaxel (PTX) and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX), were successfully loaded into PEG-PLA nanofiber mats to realize multi-drug delivery. The release behaviors of both the drugs from the same fiber mats were ascribed to their solubility properties and distribution status in the fibers. Due to its high hydrophilicity, DOX was easy to diffuse out from the fibers, and its release rate was always faster than that of hydrophobic PTX. Moreover, the release rate of PTX was accelerated by DOX's release from the same drug-loaded fibers. In vitro cytotoxicity against rat Glioma C6 cells indicated that the dual drug combination showed a higher inhibition and apoptosis against C6 cells than a single drug-loaded system, which suggests the promise for multi-drug delivery on combination therapy.

Paclitaxel-loaded poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-lactide (LA)) (PEG-PLA) micelles were prepared by two methods. One is physical encapsulation of paclitaxel in micelles composed of a PEG-PLA block copolymer and the other is based on a PEG-PLA-paclitaxel conjugate, abbreviated as "conjugate micelles" Their physicochemical characteristics, e.g. critical micelle concentration (CMC), morphology, and micelle size distribution were then evaluated by means of fluorescence spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results show that the CMC of PEG-PLA-paclitaxel and PEG-PLA are 6.31 x 10(4) and 1.78 x 10(-3) g L-1, respectively. Both micelles assume a spherical shape with comparable diameters and have unimodal size distribution. Moreover, in vitro drug delivery behavior was studied by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The antitumor activity of the paclitaxel-loaded micelles against human liver cancer H7402 cells was evaluated by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method.

A novelty approach to self-assembling stereocomplex micelles by enantiomeric PLA-PEG block copolymers as a drug delivery carrier was described. The particles were encapsulated by enantiomeric PLA-PEG stereocomplex to form nanoscale micelles different from the microspheres or the single micelles by PLLA or PDLA in the reported literatures. First, the block copolymers of enantiomeric poly(L-lactide)-poly(ethylene-glycol) (PLLA-PEG) and poly(D-lactide)-poly(ethylene-glycol) (PDLA-PEG) were synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide and D-lactide in the presence of monomethoxy PEG, respectively. Second, the stereocomplex block copolymer micelles were obtained by the self-assembly of the equimolar mixtures of enantiomeric PLA-PEG copolymers in water. These micelles possessed partially the crystallized hydrophobic cores with the critical micelle concentrations (cmc) in the range of 0.8-4.8 mg/l and the mean hydrodynamic diameters ranging from 40 to 120 nm. The micelle sizes and cmc values obviously depended on the hydrophobic block PLA content in the copolymer.Compared with the single PLLA-PEG or PDLA PEG micelles, the cmc values of the stereocomplex micelles became lower and the sizes of the stereocomplex micelles formed smaller. And lastly, the stereocomplex micelles encapsulated with rifampin were tested for the controlled release application.

A paclitaxel/MPEG-PLA block copolymer conjugate was prepared in three steps: (1) hydroxyl-terminated diblock copolymer of monomethoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(lactide) (MPEG-PLA) was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide using MPEG as a maroinitiator, (2) it was converted to carboxyl-terminated MPEG-PLA by reacting with mono-i-butyl ester of diglycolic acid and subsequent deprotecting the t-butyl group with TFA; (3) the latter was reacted with paclitaxel in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and dimethylaminopyridine. Structures of the polymers synthesized were confirmed by H-1 NMR, and their molecular weights were determined by gel permeation chromatography. The antitumor activity of the conjugate against human liver cancer H7402 cells was evaluated by MTT method. The results showed that paclitaxel can be released from the conjugate without losing cytotoxicity.

在对装置作实验研究时,如果该装置可调节的参数很多,则如何通过最少次数的试验,以实现设计意图,发现装置的最佳工况就成了突出的问题。本文从分析原料粒子在 Plasmacan 中的两个特征时间尺度入手(它们是:①粒子的实际停留时间;②粒子为完成设计中预期的反应而必须停留的最短时间),基于在两个不同层次上能量平衡的考虑(从全体粒子这个层次以及从单个粒子这个较细的层次),对设计及实验中可调节参数的影响作了分析与研究;并在此基础上提出了一个推荐的试验流程。按此流程来安排实验研究,可望通过较少次数的实验为 Pla smacan 找出最佳工况.该建议的实质是:对可以用大致合理的理论模型找出定性(或定量)解答的影响因素,就尽量靠理论来研究;只对理论在目前实在难回答的那些因素,才安排必要次数的实验研究。用这样一种理论与实验研究相结合,彼此杨长避短的策略来大大减少实验研究的次数。

磷脂酰甘油(PG)是植物类囊体膜中唯一的磷脂,在它的sn-2位上总是连着一个棕榈酸(16:0)或反式十六碳烯酸(16:1 trans)。由于PG的分子结构独特,对它的功能已有了很多研究,目前认为PG在维持类囊体膜的结构与功能方面具有非常重要的作用。缺磷胁迫下,蓝藻、衣藻及拟南芥、大麦等物种中均检测到了PG含量的下降。对这一现象的常见解释是缺磷导致了PG生物合成受阻,从而引起了其含量的降低。但迄今为止尚没有试验证据支持。本研究比较了缺磷对不同叶龄的小麦与烟草叶片中PG含量与PG水解酶的活性的影响,同时对缺磷叶片酶粗提液水解外源PG后的主要产物、几种磷脂酶抑制剂对上述酶反应的影响等进行了研究,以阐明缺磷条件下叶片中PG含量下降的主要原 因。 缺磷小麦第一叶完全展开时,PG含量与PG水解酶活性均与对照相似;而第三叶完全展开时,尽管缺磷第三叶中PG水解酶活性也与对照相似,但其PG含量低于对照。这一结果表明,在小麦叶片完全展开之前,缺磷条件未影响叶片中的PG水解酶活性,第三叶中较低的PG含量应由PG的生物合成受阻引起。并且,由于缺磷植株第一叶完全展开时PG含量未受影响而第三叶中却表现出了轻微降低,可以推测叶片萌发越晚,PG生物合成受到的抑制就会越严重。 为了研究叶片衰老过程中PG含量下降的原因,我们比较了6,10,14与18日龄时缺磷与对照小麦植株第一叶中PG的相对含量与PG水解酶活性。研究发现:6日龄时,刚刚完全展开的缺磷和对照小麦第一叶中无论是PG含量还是PG水解酶活性都较为相似;而随着叶片的逐渐衰老,缺磷植株第一叶中PG含量大幅度下降,同时伴随着PG水解酶活性的急剧上升。18日龄时,缺磷小麦第一叶中的PG含量较对照降低了69.1%,其PG水解酶活性也远高于对照,37ºC下温育30min后,缺磷叶片的酶粗提液使外源PG含量降低了74.16%,而对照中只降低了13.7%。上述结果表明,缺磷条件下,小麦叶片中PG含量降低的程度与PG水解酶活性的强弱密切相关,PG水解加剧是导致老叶中PG含量降低的一个重要原因。 磷脂酶是水解磷脂的主要酶类。目前在植物体中发现的磷脂酶种类主要有磷脂酶D(PLD)、磷脂酶C(PLC)与磷脂酶A(PLA)。通过薄层层析(TLC),我们发现缺磷小麦叶片的酶粗提液水解外源PG后的主要产物是磷脂酸(PA)、二脂酰甘油(DAG)与游离脂肪酸(FFA)。将n-丁醇加入到缺磷小麦叶片的体外酶反应体系中后,观察到PA、DAG与FFA的生成量均表现出一定程度的降低。由于n-丁醇是PA经PLD途径生成的抑制剂,因此,上述结果表明PLD参与了缺磷条件下小麦叶片中PG的水解。硫酸新霉素是PLC的非特异性抑制剂,低浓度的硫酸新霉素(100μM 和 200μM )加入到缺磷小麦叶片的体外酶反应体系后,三种产物的生成受到了严重抑制,表明PLC也与缺磷叶片中PG的降解密切相关。 为了进一步分析缺磷导致PG含量降低的原因,我们以烟草为试验材料,检测了缺磷胁迫对烟草嫩叶和老叶中的PG含量、PG水解酶活性、与PG降解相关的酶的种类及PLC、PLDα、PLDβ与PAT-1基因在mRNA上表达水平的的影响。结果表明,缺磷烟草叶片中PG含量的降低由PG生物合成受阻与PG降解加剧共同导致,PLC和PLD活性与烟草叶片中PG的降解有关。缺磷植株老叶中PG水解酶活性及PLC、PLDα、PLDβ基因在mRNA水平上的表达量均高于对照,表明在磷胁迫条件下,老叶中PG水解酶活性可能受到转录水平上的调节, PLC、PLDα、PLDβ转录活性的增强导致了PLC、PLD活性加强,从而引起PG降解的加剧,最终导致了PG含量的降低。与PLC、PLDα和PLDβ不同,缺磷胁迫对patatin蛋白(表现PLA2活性)的编码基因PAT-1在转录水平上的表达无影响,TLC分析PG的水解产物也未检测到溶血磷脂酰甘油(LPG)的生成。由此可见,PLA活性可能与缺磷条件下PG的降解无关。

Wasp is an impor tant venomous animal that can induce human fatalities. Aortic thrombosis and cerebral infarction are major clinical symptoms after massive wasp stings but the reason leading to the envenomation manifestation is still not known. In this paper, a toxin protein is purified and characterized by Sephadex G-75 gel filtration, CM-Sephadex C-25 cationic exchange and fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) from the venom of the wasp, Vespa magnifica (Smith). This protein, named magnifin, contains phospholipase-like activity and induces platelet aggregation. The cDNA encoding magnifin is cloned from the venom sac cDNA library of the wasp. The predicted protein was deduced from the cDNA with a sequence composed of 337 amino acid residues. Magnifin is very similar to other phospholipase A(1) (PLA(1)), especially to other wasp allergen PLA(1). Magnifin can activate platelet aggregation and induce thrombosis in vivo. The current results proved that PLA(1) in wasp venom could be contributable to aortic thrombosis after massive wasp stings. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) called jerdoxin, was isolated from Trimeresurus jerdonni snake venom and partially characterized. The protein was purified by three chromatographic steps. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence or absence of dithiothreitol showed that it had a molecular mass of 15 kDa. Jerdoxin had an enzymatic activity of 39.4 mumol/min/mg towards egg yolk phosphatidyl choline (PC). It induced edema in the footpads of mice. In addition, jerdoxin exhibited indirect hemolytic activity. About 97% hemolysis was observed when 2 mug/ml enzyme was incubated for 90 min in the presence of PC and Ca2+. No detectable hemolysis was noticed when PC was not added. Ca2+ was necessary for jerdoxin to exert its hemolytic activity, since only 52% hemolysis was seen when Ca2+ was absent in the reaction mixture. Furthermore, jerdoxin inhibited ADP induced rabbit platelet aggregation and the inhibition was dose dependent with an IC50 of 1.0 muM. The complete amino acid sequence of jerdoxin deduced from cDNA sequence shared high homology with other snake venom PLA(2)s, especially the D49 PLA(2)s. Also, the residues concerned to Ca2+ binding were conserved. This is the first report of cDNA sequence of T jerdonii venom PLA(2). (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Several biochemical and biological activities such as phospholipase A(2), arginine esterase, proteolytic, L-amino acid oxidase, 5'nucleotidase, acetylcholinesterase, thrombin-like, anticoagulant, and hemorrhagic activities were determined for whole desiccated venom of Trimeresurus jerdonii. An acidic phospholipase (named TJ-PLA(2)) was purified by anionic exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and reverse phase HPLC. TJ-PLA(2) had a molecular weight of 16,000 and a pI of 4.8. TJ-PLA(2) was non-lethal to mice up to an i.p. dose of 15 mg/kg body weight and lacked neurotoxicity and myotoxicity. It induced edema in the footpads of mice. The purified enzyme inhibited ADP- and collagen-induced human platelet aggregation in a manner which was both dose- and time-dependent.

A KrF (248 nm) excimer laser with a 38 ns pulse width was used to study pulsed laser annealing (PLA) on Mg-doped cubic GaN alms. The laser-induced changes were monitored by photoluminescence (PL) measurement. It indicated that deep levels in as-grown cubic GaN : Mg films were neutralized by H and PLA treatment could break Mg-H-N complex. The evolution of emissions around 426 and 468 nm with different PLA conditions reflected the different activation of the involved deep levels. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in N-2 atmosphere reverts the luminescence of laser annealed samples to that of the pre-annealing state. The reason is that most H atoms still remained in the epilayers after PLA due to the short duration of the pulses and reoccupied the original locations during RTA. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

聚乳酸(PLA)具有可生物降解性、生物相容性、良好的机械性能和可加工性等。近年来聚乳酸已逐渐成为生物降解材料的研究热点。然而,聚乳酸性脆,热稳定性差,熔融加工的窗口较窄,这些不利因素严重的限制了聚乳酸的广泛应用。本工作采用物理和化学的手段来改善聚乳酸的柔韧性,探索了改性的聚乳酸变为实用材料的可能性。 结合小分子量增塑剂增塑效率高和低聚的增塑剂稳定性好的优点,采用质量比为1:1的三醋酸甘油酯(TAC)和聚己二酸1,3-丁二醇酯(PBGA)组成的复合增塑剂提高聚乳酸的柔韧性。研究表明,相比单一增塑剂复合增塑剂是较好的增塑剂,有效地降低了聚乳酸的玻璃化转变温度和熔融温度,但增加了聚乳酸的结晶度,大大地提高了聚乳酸的断裂伸长率。当增塑剂含量大于9%时,聚乳酸变为韧性材料,断裂伸长率由原来的3%增加到320%。为了考察增塑聚乳酸的结构与性能稳定性,在60℃条件下对增塑聚乳酸老化4天,发现只有增塑剂含量为17%的聚乳酸材料的性能较稳定,材料仍保持一定的韧性。增塑剂含量高于23%时,会有增塑剂从材料本体析出的现象。 为了得到结构和性能稳定的高韧性材料,在复合增塑剂增塑的聚乳酸体系中加入三烯丙基异氰脲酸酯(TAIC)通过电子束辐照发生交联。研究表明:增塑聚乳酸材料在合适的辐照剂量下(10Mrad),保持一定强度(23.5MPa)的同时,还有较高的断裂伸长率(268%)。此外,由于复合增塑剂中的PBGA有部分参与交联反应和交联网络对增塑剂的强迫互溶作用,复合增塑剂较交联前有更好的稳定性。
