The colloi- dal stability and asphaltene agglomeration of atmospheric residue and mixed oils were characterized by means of the mass fraction normalized conductivity and the small-angle X-ray scattering technology (SAXS). The results indicated that the sta- bility of Tahe atmospheric residue decreased with an increasing amount of these oil fractions. It was found that the decline of the colloidal stability was attributed to the component polarity difference between oil fractions and the atmospheric resi- due. Though the aromaticity of FCC slurry oil was higher than that of HVGO, the polarity of aromatics and resins of FCC slurry oil was lower than those of HVGO. So the degree of the colloidal stability was more seriously destroyed by FCC slurry oil. The dispersion of asphaltenes in Tahe atmospheric residue was changed by adding FCC slurry oil and HVGO. The particle size of as-ohaltenes increased alon~ with the decline of the colloidal stability展开更多

The five analytes (liquiritin apioside, liquiritin, isoliquiritin apioside, liquirigenin and glycyrrhizic acid) were well separated with good linearity, precision, stability and repeatability. The recovery rates ranged from 95.69% to 100.80%. The content of the five compounds in 34 batches of commercial XEZKTJ products was determined using standardized GRR extract (SRE method) and individual chemical reference standards (CRS method). Highly similar results were obtained from the two methods, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed SRE method. Taken together, we proposed an efficient and low-cost way to perform multi-component quality control of XEZKTJ in this study.展开更多

METHODS: We measured the endogenous plasma concentration of TPO in 40 patients with acquired aplastic anaemia (AA) and in 32 patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) by a sensitive Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared the results. RESULTS: Plasma TPO concentrations were significantly higher in AA patients (774 +/- 393 pg/ ml) in comparison with healthy control subjects (55 +/- 34 pg/ml, P 0.05). There was also no relationship between their plasma TPO levels and platelet counts. CONCLUSIONS: TPO levels may be regulated not only by platelets but also by megakaryocytes in AA and ITP, and measurement of TPO levels is useful for diagnosing thrombocytopenia and understanding the pathophysiology of thrombocytopenia.展开更多

In order to understand the molecular bases of the host immune response to parasitoid attack, we explored the response of Papilio xuthus parasitized by the endoparasitic wasp Pteromalus puparum using proteomic approach. By examining the differential expression of plasma proteins in the parasitized and unparasitized host pupae by two-dimensional (2D) electrophoresis, 16 proteins were found to vary in relation to parasitization compared with unparasitized control samples. All of them were submitted to identification by mass spectrometry coupled with a database search. The modulated proteins were found to fall into the following functional groups: humoral or cellular immunity, detoxification, energy metabolism, and others. This study contributes insights into the molecular mechanism of the relationships between parasitoids and their host insects.展开更多

We recently demonstrated that co-delivery of two vectors expressing M662C mutated heavy and D1828C mutated light chain genes of B-domain-deleted coagulation factor VIII (BDD-FVIII) leads to inter-chain disulfide cross-linking and improved heavy chain secretion in vitro. In this study, co-injection of both M662C and D1828C mutated BDD-FVIII gene expression vectors into mice resulted in increased heavy chain secretion and coagulation activity in plasma in vivo. Approximately (239+_56) ng mL-1 above endogenous levels of transgenic FVIII heavy chain was found in mouse plasma using a chain-specific ELISA. For FVIII coagulation activity, approximately (1.09+_0.25) IU mL-1 above en- dogenous levels were detected in co-injected transgenic mouse plasma using a chromogenic assay. These data demonstrate that inter-chain disulfide bonds likely increase heavy chain secretion and coagulation activity in the plasma of transgenic mice with an improved efficacy of a dual-vector delivery of BDD-FVIII gene. These findings support our ongoing efforts to develop a gene therapy for hemophilia A treatment using dual-AAV vectors.展开更多
