Hydroxyapatite of high crystallinity powder including trace Ca 10 (PO 4) 6CO 3(OH) and Ca 9HPO 4(PO 4) 6OH can be synthesized by mechanical activation without further thermal treatment at a high temperature. The synthesis reaction during the grinding process was almost completed within 1h. The as-ground powder exhibits a particle distribution of 20-100nm in size with a spherical or rodlike morphology. The composition and degree of crystallinity of the mechanochemical synthesized hydroxyapatite powders were coincident with the cement-type hydroxyapatite.展开更多

Methods: HIV-1 Tat_(101) genewas recovered from pEV plasmid by Hind Ⅲ digestion and cloned into expression plasmid LZESpBMN-Z toconstruct recombinant retroviral expression plasmid named LZRS-Tat_(101). Using the method ofcalcium phosphate, the construct of LZRS-Tat_(101) was then transfected into packaging cell linesPhoenix (ΦNX) which contained env and gal genes encoding structural proteins and pol gene codingfor 3 enzymes ( reverse transcriptase, protease and integrate) essential for retroviral integrationand replication . The stable transfected cell lines was obtained using puromycin to screen for morethan 3 days. Then, immunohistochemical (IHC ) staining was carried out to detect the expressionlevel of Tat_(101) protein in both transiently and stably trancfected ΦNX, respectively. Thesupematants containing recombinant virus collected from transient and stable transfected cells wereemployed to infect 293 cells, respectively, and the expressed Tat in 293 cells was tested by Westernblot. Meantime, the supematants of infected 293 cells was further added to HL3T1 cells which wereHela cell lines containing an HIV-1-LTR/CAT reporter construct to establish a co-culture system.After co-culture for 72 hours, the protein was extracted from HL3T1 cells and used for CAT activityassay. Results: After LZRS- Tat_(101) was transfected into ΦNX, the amount of expressed Tat intransient transfection cells was significantly higher than that in stable transfection cells; Tatcould be detected not only in 293 cells but also in the supematants from 293 cells culture, and Tatin the supematants could activate HIV-1 LTR promoter in HL3T1, resulting in high 'expression of CATlocated at the downstream of LTR. Conclusion: The construct of recombinant retrovirus LZRS-Tat_(101) could express Tat protein in target cells and the expressed Tat was functionally activeand can really exhibit the ability to activate transcription.展开更多

The experimental results show that the phases of HA-ZrO2 composite coatings are HA, ZrO2 and Y2O3, and the HA has a certain decomposition in the combination process, producing TCP and CaO impurity phases. The porous surface of coating is conducive to the growth of bone tissue, and the surface roughness values of 50HA-50ZrO2 and 75HA-25ZrO2 are 1.61 μm and 2.92 μm, respectively. The coating interface is of mechanical integration, the bonding strength values of 50HA-50ZrO2 and 75HA-25ZrO2 are 30 N and 17.5 N, respectively, showing a downward trend with the HA contents increasing. The residual stress values in the coating of 50HA-50ZrO2 and 75HA-25ZrO2 are (-399.1±3.0) MPa, (-343.2±20.3) MPa, respectively, as a result, the appropriate increase of HA contents in the coating will reduce its residual stress.展开更多

文摘High-throughput pyrosequencing,carried out in millions of picoliter-sized reactors on a fiber-optic slide,is known for its longer read length.However,both optical crosstalk(which reduces the signal-to-noise ratio of CCD images)and chemical retention adversely affect the accuracy of chemiluminescence determination,and ultimately decrease the read length and the accuracy of pyrosequencing results.In this study,both titanium and oxidized aluminum films were deposited on the side walls and upper faces of micro-reactor slides to enhance optical isolation;the films reduced the inter-well crosstalk by one order of magnitude.Subsequently,chemical retention was shown to be caused by the lower diffusion coefficient of the side walls of the picolitersized reactors because of surface roughness and random pores.Optically isolated fiber-optic slides over-coated with silicon oxide showed smoother surface morphology,resulting in little chemical retention;this was further confirmed with theoretical calculations.Picoliter-sized micro-reactors coated with titanium-silicon oxide films showed the least inter-well optical crosstalk and chemical retention;these properties are expected to greatly improve the high-throughput pyrosequencing performance.
