A magnesium metal organic framework, [NH_2(CH_3)_2][N(CH_3)_4][Mg_5(bpdc)_3(O_2CH)_6]?3H_2O (1, bpdcH_2 = 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid), has been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. 1 crystallizes in the trigonal system, space group R-3, with a = 11.3427(3), c = 41.5662(18) ?, V = 4631.3(3) ?~3, Z = 3 and the final R = 0.0457. Its structure features a pillared-layered three-dimensional network with 8.21 ? cavities, in which cationic [NH_2(CH_3)_2]~+ or [N(CH_3)_4]~+ and lattice water molecules are located. Thermal stability of the title compound has also been investigated.

摘要：
To investigate the effect of triglyceride (TG) integrates with plasma major components of apolipoproteins in HDL subclasses distribution and further elicited the TG-apolipoproteins (apos) interaction in the processes of high density lipoprotein (HDL) mature metabolic and atherosclerosis related diseases. Contents of plasma HDL subclasses were quantities by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis associated with immunodetection in 500 Chinese subjects. Contents of preβ1-HDL, HDL3a, and apoB-100 level along with apoB-100/A-I ratio were significantly increased, whereas there was a significant reduction in the contents of HDL2, apoA-I level as well as apoC-III/C-II ratio with increased TG concentration. Moreover, preβ1-HDL contents is elevated about 9 mg/L and HDL2b contents can be reduced 21 mg/L for 0.5 mmol/L increment in TG concentration. Moreover, with increase of apoA-I levels, HDL2b contents were marginally elevated in any TG concentration group. Furthermore, despite of in the apoB-100/A-I < 0.9 group, the contents of preβ1-HDL increased, and those of HDL2b decreased significantly for subjects in both high and very high TG levels compared to that in normal TG levels. Similarly, in the apoB-100/A-I ≥ 0.9 group, the distribution of HDL subclasses also showed abnormality for subjects with normal TG levels. The particle size of HDL subclasses tend to small with TG levels increased which indicated that HDL maturation might be impeded and efficiency of reverse cholesterol transport(RCT) might be weakened. These data suggest that TG levels were not only significantly associated with but liner with the contents of preβ1-HDL and HDL2b. They also raise the possibility that the TG levels effect on HDL maturation metabolism are subjected to plasma apolipoproteins and apolipoproteins ratios.
摘要：
With more and more potential applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in different fields, the risk of exposure to CNTs is increasing. The interaction between CNTs and protein in biological media can affect the way cells interact with, recognize and process the nanoparticles, and this has important implications for safety considerations. In this study, the interaction of single-walled and multiwall CNTs with various serum proteins was investigated. The adsorption kinetics of protein to CNTs was investigated and a semi-qualitative analysis was provided by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was used to identify the protein species binding to CNTs and atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to vividly demonstrate the adsorption model of protein on CNTs. All the experimental results showed that the adsorption capacity of CNTs for protein was highly dependent on the type, arrangement model, size and surface modification of CNTs. Significant quantity of proteins in serum could be quickly adsorbed by CNTs, mainly including albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, and immunoglobulin. Noncovalent functionalization of CNTs by polyethylene glycol (PEG) could decrease the protein adsorption on CNTs. These results provide crucial insights into human serum proteins binding to different kinds of CNTs, which is important for understanding the safe application of carbon nanotubes.
摘要：
A new surface ion-imprinted composite polymer containing 3-methyl-1-phenyl −4-(cis-acylbutenoic acid)-2-pyrazolin-5-one as the functional reagent is presented that is capable of extracting and preconcentrating traces of Th(IV) ion prior to its photometric determination. Parameters affecting the recovery of Th(IV) such as acidity, shaking time, initial concentration of Th(IV), elution condition, sample flow rate, and influence of potentially interfering ions were investigated. The maximum uptake capacity of this material and that of the non-imprinted polymer at pH 4.5 are 56.8 and 26.3 mg g−1, respectively. Recovery exceeds 95% and is complete within 5 min. A Langmuir isotherm fits the experimental data. The relative selectivity factor for Th(IV)/U(VI), Th(IV)/La(III), and Th(IV)/Ce(III) are 50.8, 78.3, and 82.6, respectively. The relative standard deviation is <2.5%, the detection limit is 0.54 μg L−1 (3σ). The imprinted polymer was coupled to spectrophotometry to separate and determine trace levels of Th(IV) in a soil standard material with satisfactory results. A new surface imprinted composite polymer containing MPABAP as the functional reagent was synthesized, and a relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) less than 2.5% and a detection limit of 0.54 μg L−1 (3σ) of the present method under the optimized conditions were obtained.

摘要：
Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is the catalytic subunit and the activity determinant factor of the telomerase enzyme which maintains the length of human chromosomes. In recent years it has become an attractive molecular target for cancer gene therapy. In the present study, we show that hTERT siRNA effectively suppressed the expression of hTERT mRNA and hTERT protein levels, reduced telomerase activity, and induced apoptosis of A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells (P<0.05). In vivo, tumors treated with the hTERT siRNA were of reduced sizes, indicating that the hTERT siRNA also reduced the tumorigenic potential of lung adenocarcinoma cells (P<0.05). These results demonstrate that hTERT siRNA can cause effective suppression of telomerase and lead to apoptosis in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells. hTERT siRNA may, therefore, be a strong candidate for highly selective therapy for chemoprevention and treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.
