Soluble Angiopoietin Receptor Tie-2 In Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction And Its Detection By Optical Protein-Chip

The Tie-2 receptor has been shown to play a role in angiogenesis in atherosclerosis. The conventional method assaying the level of soluble Tie-2 (sTie-2) was ELISA. However, this method has some disadvantages. The aims of this research are to establish a more simple detection method, the optical protein-chip based on imaging ellipsomtry (OPC-IE) applying to Tie-2 assay. The sTie-2 biosensor surface on silicon wafer was prepared first, and then serum levels of sTie-2 in 38 patients with AMI were measured on admission (day 1), day 2, day 3 and day 7 after onset of chest pain and 41 healthy controls by ELISA and OPC-IE in parallel. Median level of sTie-2 increased significantly in the AMI patients when compared with the controls. Statistics showed there was a significant correlation in sTie-2 results between the two methods (r=0.923, P0.01). The result of this study showed that the level of sTie-2 increased in AMI, and OPC-IE assay was a fast, reliable, and convenient technique to measure sTie-2 in serum.

Preparation, characterization and gas sensing properties of high soluble metal (II) phthalocyanine thin films by spin-coating method

Three novel metal (II) phthalocyanine complexes were synthesized by cyclic tetramerisation reaction of a dicyano benzene component and different metal ions (Pd2+, Co2+, Zn2+). The structure of complexes was confirmed by elemental analysis, mass and IR spectrum. The excellent solubility of the complexes in benzene enabled us to obtain films by a spin-coating method. The films were characterized by IR, electronic spectral and AFM. The gas sensing properties to NO2 of the metal (II) phthalocyanine complex films were studied. In addition, the effects of different metal ions and the gas sensing temperature on the sensing properties were studied. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

葡萄浆果成熟与延迟采收期间糖酸变化特点的研究

连续2年对“京秀”ד亚历山大”（编号97-2）杂交后代10个单株和“京秀”ד香妃”（编号97-3）杂交后代10个单株成熟期和延迟采收期的糖酸组分含量进行测定，以了解葡萄浆果延迟采收内在品质的变化差异。第二年 对可长期挂果的亲本“京秀”、“亚历山大”和杂交后代单株“97-2-23”、“97-2-24”成熟期和延迟采收期糖酸组分动态变化进行测定，以了解葡萄浆果糖酸品质延迟采收期的动态变化规律。同时对以上四个单株的浆果中蔗糖代谢相关酶活性和浆果呼吸强度进行测定，以对不同蔗糖表现型的产生原因进行探讨。研究表明： 葡萄延迟采收，浆果内可溶性糖变化可分为积累型和稳定型两种类型。延迟采收3周，糖积累型的8个单株浆果 可溶性糖显著积累，而稳定型的12个单株的糖与成熟时不存在显著差异。浆果主要积累果糖和葡萄糖，这两种糖的 动态变化趋势基本一致，但果糖变化幅度较大。两种类型的有机酸含量在延迟采收期间变化不大，没有显著差异。 糖积累型的“京秀”和“97-2-23”延迟采收期间各蔗糖分解酶（酸性转化酶、中性转化酶、蔗糖合成酶分解方 向）活性持续升高，但糖稳定型的“亚历山大”和“97-2-24”延迟采收第3周时急剧降低。此外，果实成熟和延迟 采收期间两种糖表现型浆果的呼吸速率也存在差异。浆果的蔗糖分解酶活性和呼吸速率存在的差异可能是两种类型 延迟采收期间糖含量存在差异的重要原因。
