Pain is a debilitating consequence of SCI related to the nature of the lesion, neurological structures damaged, and secondary pathophysiological changes of surviving tissues （Yezierski, 2005; D＇Angelo et al., 2013）.展开更多

The typical TICT dual fluorescence of DMABA is observed in pure water and aqueous β-CD solution, and β-CD has s remarkable influence on the TICT fluorescence characteristics of DMABA. A linear dependence of the ratio of intensity of TICT fluorescence band (a band) to that of normal fluorescence band (b band) on DMABA concentration is also observed and the introduction of β-CD increases the linear slope. Combined with the results of absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence polarization, and peculiar salt effects, the properties of TICT state of DMABA, the interaction of DMABA with β-CD, and the intrinsic traits of the microenvironmental effects of β-CD are discussed in detail.展开更多
Effects of 4-（1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl）phenol（APP）,4-（1,5-diphenyl-lH-pyrazol-3-yl）phenol（BPP） and 4-（3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl）phenol（CPP） on 2,2＇-azobis-（2-amidinopropane hydrochloride）（AAPH）...Effects of 4-（1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl）phenol（APP）,4-（1,5-diphenyl-lH-pyrazol-3-yl）phenol（BPP） and 4-（3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl）phenol（CPP） on 2,2＇-azobis-（2-amidinopropane hydrochloride）（AAPH）-induced oxidation of DNA were measured in the presence of various concentrations of Triton X-100,cetyltrimethylammonium bromide（CTAB）,or sodium dodecyl sulfate（SDS） in order to clarify the influence of neutral,cationic and anionic microenvironments on antioxidant capacities of APP,BPP and CPP.Although these surfactants can protect DNA against AAPH-induced oxidation,the pyrazoles in the presence of these surfactants functioned as prooxidants when the concentrations of Triton X-100 and CTAB increased.However,CPP exhibited antioxidant property with the increase of the concentration of CTAB.On the contrary,APP,BPP and CPP were antioxidants in the presence of various concentrations of SDS.The added surfactants resulted in the complication of the microenvironments around DNA,pyrazoles and peroxyl radical（ROO＊） derived from AAPH.The anionic charge of SDS was beneficial to enhancing the antioxidant effectiveness of these pyrazoles.It can be concluded that the charge property of surfactants markedly influenced the behavior of an antioxidant in AAPH-induced oxidation of DNA.展开更多
