[Method] The GHR mRNA expression levels in longissimus dorsal muscles of male Kazak sheep and Xinjiang fine wool sheep with different ages were quantitatively analyzed by real time PCR. [ Result] Sheep GHR mRNA expression level in longissimus dorsal muscle increased firstly followed by decline, and then kept steady until the end of the experiment, with the expression peak appearing on postnatal day 30. The GHR mRNA expression level of Kazak sheep was extremely lower than that of Xingjiang fine wool sheep from 2 to 90 days old ( P 〈0.01 ). E Conclusionl Both age and breed had great effects on the expression of muscular GHR gene in sheep.展开更多
A novel method applying simple, rapid, effective and inexpensive excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with second-order calibration method for simultaneous determination of ethoxyquin ...A novel method applying simple, rapid, effective and inexpensive excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with second-order calibration method for simultaneous determination of ethoxyquin (EQ) and tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) contents in biological fluid samples was developed. After a simple data preprocessing that was to insert zeros below the first-order Rayleigh scattering, the second-order calibration method based on the alternating normalization-weighed error (ANWE) algorithm was used to deal with EEM data. Via the introduced "second-order advantage", the individual con- centrations of the analytes of interest could be obtained even in the presence of uncalibrated interferences. The experimental concentration ranges for the analytes were as follows: EQ, from 4.58 to 20.6 p.g mL-1 in plasma and from 6.87 to 20.6 gg mL-1 in urine; TBHQ, from 4.49 to 20.2 ~tg mL-1 in plasma and from 6.73 to 22.4 I.tg mL-l in urine. The recoveries from spiked bi- ological fluid samples were in the ranges of 92.8%-106.2% for EQ and 94.6%-107.2% for TBHQ. These results demonstrate that the three-dimensional EEM fluorescence with second-order calibration method is a powerful tool for obtaining both EQ and TBHQ quantitative results in plasma and urine samples, and could be applied to more complex matrices.展开更多
The excitedstate intramolecular charge transfer of four oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives with different electron donating and electron withdrawing groups was investigated using the time-dependent density functional ...The excitedstate intramolecular charge transfer of four oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives with different electron donating and electron withdrawing groups was investigated using the time-dependent density functional theory. The vertical excitation energies and the electronic structures were explored. Their distinct properties of absorption and fluorescence spectra in solvent phase were explained according to the electronic coupling matrix elements calculated by the Mulliken-Hush theory. The sub-stituent on the oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridines will remarkably change their spectra properties and increase the first excited-state dipole moments. The effect of protonation on the absorption and fluorescence spectra was also investigated systematically. Our study suggests that the present method is feasible to explain charge transfer excitation and predict the properties of absorption and emission spectra in the studied systems.展开更多
