METHODS： Liver transplantation models were estab- lished using male Wistar rats. Donor livers were pre- served in University of Wisconsin solution at 4 ℃ for different lengths of time. The effect of ammonium pyr- rolidinedithiocarbamate （PDTC） on ALI was also detect- ed. All samples were harvested after 3 h reperfusion.The severity of AU was evaluated by lung weight/body weight ratio, lung histopathological score, serum nitric oxide （NO） and endothelin （ET）-I levels, lung tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α and interleukin （IL）-1β levels. Lung surfactants （LSs） were determined by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography. RESULTS： With extended donor liver cold preservation time （CPT）, lung histopathological scores, serum ET-i levels, lung weight/body weight ratio and the level of TNF-α and IL-1β in lung were increased significantly in the 180-min group compared with the sham group （3.16± 0.28 vs 1.12 ± 0.21, P 〈 0.001; 343.59±53.97 vs 141.53± 48.48, P 〈 0.001; 0.00687 ±0.00037 vs 0.00557 ±0.00056, P 〈 0.001; 17.5 ± 3.0 vs 1,3 ± 0.3, P 〈 0.001; 10.8± 2.3 vs 1.8 ± 0.4, P 〈 0.001）, but serum NO levels decreased remarkably （74.67 ± 10.01 vs 24.97 ± 3.18, P 〈 0.001）. The expression of lung phos- phatidylcholine （PC）, phosphatidylethanolamine （PE）, phosphatidylinositol （PI） and phosphatidylserine （PS） increased when CPT was 〈 120 rain, and decreased when CPT was 〉 180 min （PC： 1318.89 ± 54.79 vs 1011.18± 59.99, P 〈 0.001; PE： 1504.45± 119.96 vs 1340.80±76.39, P = 0.0019; PI： 201.23 ± 34.82 vs 185.88 ± 17.04, P = 0.2265; PS： 300.43±32.95 vs 286.55± 55.55, P = 0.5054）. All these ALI-associated indexes could be partially reversed by PDTC treatment.展开更多

In this work, high-performance DNA separation was realized for a size range of 10–800 base pairs(bp) utilizing bare narrow-bore capillary chromatography with 750 nm- radius capillaries. Separation behavior of double-stranded DNA(ds DNA) fragments was investigated over a range of eluent concentrations and elution pressures. DNA molecules were hydrodynamically separated in a size-dependent manner in free solution without any sieving matrices, with the longer fragments being eluted out from the capillary earlier. It was found that the eluent concentration variously influenced the transport behavior for different-sized DNA fragments depending upon the configuration of DNA molecules and the association of counterions. Ionic strength of the solutions strongly impacted DNA persistence length. Enhanced elution pressure could shorten analysis time with a slight loss in resolution. Excellent efficiency of two million theoretical plates per meter was achieved, which indicates the enormous potential of bare narrow-bore capillary chromatography for the analysis of DNA fragments. These findings would be useful in understanding the transport behavior of DNA fragments in confined dimensions for chromatography in free solution.展开更多
