Chromatographic separation of bupropion hydrochloride is achieved using a mobile phase consisting of methanol -0.01 mol·L -1 ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (80:20, v/v, pH 4.8) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min -1 on a Hypersil BDS C18 column. Absorbance is monitored at 251 nm where bupropion hydrochloride has maximum absorption in the mobile phase. The linear range of determination for bupropion hydrochloride is between 2.12 and 21.2 μg·mL -1. The proposed method was validated with respect to accuracy, precision, limits of detection and quantification and robustness, etc.展开更多

[]Vlethod] The gene fragments en- coding SS2 adhesive related-factors MRP, FBPS and CPS2J and a housekeeping gene aroA were amplified by reverse transcription PCR from the total RNA of SS2, cloned, and sequenced. The recombinant plasmids containing the target genes were constructed, and used as templates in Real-time PCR. [Result] Dynamic curves, stan- dard curves and melting curves of the adhesive related-factors and aroA were ob- tained by the optimized Real-time PCR system. The standard curves showed a good linear relationship between template copy number and circulation number, and the correlation coefficients (FF) of the standard curves were over 0.995. Also, these as- says were highly specific a^d there was single specific melting peak for every gene. Moreover, the assays were highly sensitive and had a detection limit of 1.0×102 copies in 1 μl of initial templates. Finally, it was highly repeatable and had a coeffi- cient of variation less than 2% for intra-assay. [Conclusion] This study will provide a way to reveal the adhesion mechanism of SS2 to different host cells at molecular level.展开更多

Methods The samples were analyzed on a ODS column with methanol water triethylamine (3∶97∶0 1 V/V) as a mobile phase. The flow rate was 1 0 mL·min -1 , and UV detection wavelength 205 nm. Results Linear regression equation was A=1 6920C+1 7455 (r 2=0 9999, n =5) in concentratins ranging from 20 to 120 μg·mL -1 . The recoveries were 101 2±1 46 % at 80 μg·mL -1 , 100 5±0 75% at 100 μg·mL -1 , and 100 7±1 10% at 120 μg·mL -1 , respectively, and the precisions of aloperine within or between run were from 0 80% to 1 98% ( n =5). The relative contents of aloperine in three lots of tablets were 101 59±1 38%, 98 46±0 23%, and 99 41±1 09% ( n =3). Conclusion The newly developed reverse phase HPLC method is simple and useful for daily assay of aloperine tablets and can overcome the interference from excipient and other alkaloids in titration and UV detection.展开更多

The combining FFLRs (Floating Field Limiting Rings) system is designed to be a voltage detector. The detector's voltage can turn off the switch of the APFC (Active Power Factor Correction) circuit and the bus voltage would fall from 600VDC to 300VDC, so the SPIC and power devices can be protected. The advantages of this design are that the total protection circuits are integrated in SPIC and technologically compatible with CMOS or BCD(BipolarCMOS-DMOS) technology.展开更多

A methodology for position detection, and angle and spacing adjustment was proposed for optical waveguide chips and optical fiber arrays based on machine vision. The experimental results show angle detection precision levels higher than 0.05°, line detection precision levels higher than 0.1 μm, and detection time less than 2 s. Therefore, the system developed herein meets the precise requirements necessary for position detection, and angle and spacing adjustments for optical waveguide chips and optical fiber arrays.展开更多

As a result, after mycobacterium and non-mycobacterium standard specimens were duplicated by PCR, mycobacterium standard specimens reproduced 360bp DNA fragments; on the other hand, non-mycobacterium specimens did not reproduce any fragments except for hemolytic streptococcus and corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum which had the same results as mycobacterium standard specimens. Sensitive test is able to detect lpg tuberculosis mycobacterium DNA. The probe test showed that, among 21 oligonucleotide probes, probe-M. fortuitum and M. marinum were cross-hybrid; the other probes were specific. We used the new method to identify 126 mycobacterium clinical isolated specimens. The test results of this new method matched with conventional method. In conclusion, compared to the traditional method, the use of rpob gene chip technology to identify mycobacterium species will be faster, more accurate and higher value in application.展开更多

Grapevine leaves were collected from variety Rkatsiteli (Vitis vinifera) and placed at a temperature of +45 ℃ and +55 ℃ for 5 rain, respectively. The relative volume of water in leaves was gradually reduced to 50%, and then leaves were irradiated with 6,000 pmol/m2.s of white light. Changes provoked by stressful abiotie factors were determined using rapid and delayed chlorophyll fluorescence methods. It was shown that value of variable component of chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv), intensity of electron transport between the photosystems (ETR), intensity of expended electrons in carboxylation (ETRn) and oxygenation (ETRp) and index of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), allow studying molecular mechanisms of the impact of abiotic factors and the resulting damage degree. Based on delayed and rapid fluorescence data, it was demonstrated that temperature of +45 ℃ adversely affects oxygen production system and CO2 assimilation mechanisms, while at +55 ℃, the ETR decreases. Reduction of relative water volume in leaves up to 50%-55% leads to sharp reduction in ETR and inhibition of photosynthesis. In case of irradiation of leaves with high-intensity light of 6,000 μmol/m2.s, NPQ of light falling on a leaf increases, thus protecting photosynthesis apparatus from damage.展开更多

Compared with the traditional protein recognition elements,aptamers have excellent properties such as cost-effective,stable,easy for synthesis and modification. In recent years,electrochemistry plays an important role in biosensor field because of its high sensitivity,high stability, fast response and easy miniaturization. Through the combination of these two technologies and our rational design,we constructed a series of biosensors and biochips that are simple,fast,cheap and miniaturized. Firstly,we designed an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) electrochemical biosensor based on the strand displacement strategy. We can detect as low as 10 nmol/L of ATP both in pure solution and complicated cell lysates. Secondly,we creatively split the aptamers into two fragments and constructed the sandwich assay platform only based on single aptamer sequence. We successfully transferred this design on biochips with multiple micro electrodes (6×6) and accomplished multiplex detection. In the fields of biochips and biocomputers,we designed several DNA logic gates with electric (electrochemical) signal as output which paves a new way for the development of DNA computer.展开更多

The HPLC baseline separation was carried out on an Inertsil ODS-3 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) at 25 ℃ with a gradient elution system composed of 0.1% phosphoric acid solution and acetonitrile. The detection wavelength was set at 230 nm. Calibration curves for seven compounds showed good linear regressions, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0,999 within the tested concentration range. The limits of detection and quantification of each compound were in the range of 0.03-0.28 μg/mL and 0.11-0.87μg/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviation values of precision, stability and repeatability were less than 2.34%. The average recovery of all seven constituents ranged from 96.71% to 103.9%. The validated quantification method was successfully applied for the analysis of 10 batches of commercial LWWLT from Shandong Shibo Jindu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. These results would make foundations for quality control and the further pharmacology study of LWWLT.展开更多

TCMs are different from chemical drugs in that their chemical compositions are complicated. The measurement method based on chemical approach alone is incomplete. In order to solve this problem, in this study a bioassay-based dissolution test was developed. Microcalorimetry was used to obtain growth power-time curves and biothermodynamic parameters of Staphylococcus aureus inhibited by the solution of ShuangHuangLian (SHL) tablet, which was dissolved in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) for different times. The results of the bioassay-based dissolution test of SHL tablet demonstrated that the bioassay method might be a promising alternative for its quality control.展开更多
