These factors included the variety andcontent of catalyst, and that of solvent, way of material feeding, reaction temperature, sodiumhydrate concentration, triphenylphosphine content, presence of surfactant, the ratio of organicphase volume to aqueous phase volume etc. The optimum reaction conditions were found to be: with aone-time pour of 0.15 g Pd(PPh_3)_2Cl_2, 0.24 g PPh_3, 75 ml NaOH of 3.5 mol/L, 20 ml benzylchloride and 55 ml n-butyl alcohol, and the reaction was carried out at 50℃ for about 3 hours. Theas-obtained yield of phenylacetic acid was as high as 97.6%. In addition, the influences of thepresence of phenylacetic acid and air in the reaction system were also studied. The results showedthat the presence of air in the system and the entrainment of phenylacetic acid in the circulatingorganic phase had great influence on the reaction rate, the stability and performance of catalystand the yield of phenylacetic acid.展开更多

The structure and properties of co-stretching PTFE/PU layered membrane and coated PTFE/PU layered membrane by means of directly coating the PU on the PTFE membrane were investigated using Electron Microscope, Universal Materials Testing Machine, and the water vapor permeability (WVP) was measured according to absorption method of water vapor of GB/T 12704-91. Contrasted to PU coating process, the PU membrane on the co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane is nonporous because of heat treatment process, which can prevent the SARS virus from permeating the Co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane. The stretch and recovery properties of the Co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane is at least 66% after being stretched to 50% of its original length in transverse directions and that of the coated PTFE/PU membrane is 52%. The WVP of the Co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane is 13 523 g/24 h·m^2. The results suggest that when Co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane is laminated to a stretchable fabric, the fabric would have excellent stretch and recovery properties while waterproof and being permeable to water vapor. So, the Co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane laminated fabric will be a comfortable protective clothing material.展开更多

The cellular proliferation inhibition was evaluated by the MTT assay. Twenty-two HOX genes were divided into three groups ( P1, P2, P3) according to their primer sequences, and the samples of cells were analyzed for the HOX genes' mRNA expression by means of the semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The level of the HOX genes' expression was expressed as the ratio expression rate of HOX gene to the β-actin. HCT-8 cells were treated with 1.0-5.0 mmol/L PA for 24-72 h. With the increase of the PA concentration or the prolongation of the treating time, the cell proliferation is inhibited in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The P1 group mRNA* expression(0. 5781 ±0. 0836) is significantly lower than that of the untreated group (0. 7701 ± 0. 0883 ) in HCT-8 cells (p 〈 0. 001 ). Both the mRNA expressions of groups P2 (0. 3941 ± 0. 0819) and P3 (0. 5601 ± 0. 0736) in the PA treated group are significantly higher than those of the untreated groups P2(0. 1221±0. 0782) and P3 (0. 1806 ± 0. 0811 ) in HCT-8 cells(p 〈 0. 001). PA could effectively inhibit cell proliferation by regulating the HOX genes expression and the mechanisms of the PA action are correlated with the transcription process in HCT-8 cells.展开更多

Methods: A-LAK cells were obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by using L-phenylalanine methyl ester (PME) to deplete immunosuppressive monocytes. The proliferation of SMMC7721 cell line treated with PA was studied. A-LAK cells were treated with the supernatant of SMMC7721 cells which had been pretreated with PA and the changes of the proliferation and anti-tumor activity of A-LAK cells were investigated. Results: The expansion of A-LAK cells was significantly higher than that of non-adherent LAK (NA-LAK) cells as well as regular LAK cells. The growth of SMMC7721 cells was significantly suppressed by PA. The supernatant of cultured tumor cells intensively suppressed the proliferation and cytotoxicity of A-LAK cells, but the suppressive effect of supernatant treated with PA previously was decreased. Conclusion: A-LAK cells could be simply prepared by using PME, and showed a synergistic anti-tumor effect with the combination of PA.展开更多

The results showed that sodium phenylacetate could the expression of HLA-A2 molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAW-1) and protein HER-2/neu on the surface of MDA-453 cells. In mixed allogenic PBMC/MDA-453 cell (shared the same HLA-A2 locus) culture in vitro, MDA-453 cells could stimulate PBMC growth in the presence of low dose of interleukin-2 (IL-2 ), but sodium phenylacetate-treated MDA-453 cells were more potent for stimulating PBMC growth than the untreated cells. PBMC obtained from frow culture at 7th day could kill MDA-453 cells. The cytotoxicity of PBMC obtained form the culture at 21st day was restricted to MDA-453 cells (PBMC could hardly kill K562 and Raji cells), so the PBMC at this time could be called allospecific CTL. Sodium phenylacetate-treated MDA-453 cells were more potent for inducing allospecific CTL than the untreated cells in mixed allogenic PBMC/MDA-453 cell culture. In summary, sodium phenylacetate could increase the activity of breast cancer MDA-453 cells to induce allospecific CTL with a corresponding effect on antigen expression.展开更多

These are sodium salts of amino acid derivative and carboxylic acid that inhibit the growth of neoplastic cells without growth inhibitory effect in normal cells. The aim of this study was to identify molecular pathways involved in the anti-proliferative effect of antineoplastons. Using a total human genome microarray we have found that 1) Vitamin D3 upregulated protein (VDUP1) is significantly upregulated in response to PG and PN in the U87 glioblastoma cells;2) Isobologram analysis shows that PG and PN act in an additive or synergistic manner to effectively suppress proliferation of U87 cells;3) PG and PN cause cell cycle arrest, changes in expression of several cell cycle genes and suppress expression and activity of the G2/M checkpoint kinase, CHK1. The multiple cellular targets possibly make these compounds effective anti-proliferative agents. We propose that PG and PN in combination target important cellular pathways and upregulate VDUP1 leading to detachment-induced apoptosis in cancer cells.展开更多

Effect of salt and ambient temperature on adsorption was studied using NDA-999 adsorbent and the adsorption process conforms to Freundlich抯 model reasonably. Adsorption dynamics were conducted in batch experiments in order to make clear the mechanism of adsorption process. It is proved that the squared driving force mass transfer model can be adopted to elucidate the process. The treatment process of industrial wastewater containing high strength of phenylacetic acid was proposed for cleaner production of phenylacetic acid.展开更多

Among Bacteroides species B. fragilis strains are considered to be the opportunistic ones, being the most isolated anaerobic bacteria in clinical samples. Cell-free supernatants of 65 B. fragilis strains were assayed and they were capable of inducing vacuolating phenotype on Vero cells lineage. The supernatant of the Bacteroides fragilis ATCC 23745 strain was elicited to have the strongest vacuolating effect on Vero cells monolayers and peritoneal macrophages. Some drastic cell alterations were observed, such as a general disorganization of cytoplasm and chromatin condensation, evidencing cell death. By transmission electron microscopy it was confirmed that the vacuoles observed were, in fact, swollen mitochondria. An immunocytochemical assay, TUNEL, was used to confirm this hypothesis and showed that Vero cells and peritoneal macrophages were dying by apoptotic process after exposition of B. fragilis cell-free supernatant. Physical analysis of the apoptotic factor has revealed properties similar to short-chain fatty acids. After gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis, phenylacetic acid (PA) was characterized as the major compound present in the most purified active fraction. We believe that the PA is responsible for the pro-apoptotic effect elicited by the supernatant of B. fragilis cultures.展开更多

Contrasted to PU coating process, the PU membrane on the co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane is nonporous because of heat treatment process, which can prevent the SARS virus from permeating the Co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane. The stretch and recovery properties of the Co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane is at least 66% after being stretched to 50% of its original length in transverse directions and that of the coated PTFE/PU membrane is 52%. The WVP of the Co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane is 13 523 g/24 h·m^2. The results suggest that when Co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane is laminated to a stretchable fabric, the fabric would have excellent stretch and recovery properties while waterproof and being permeable to water vapor. So, the Co-stretching PTFE/PU membrane laminated fabric will be a comfortable protective clothing material.

The cellular proliferation inhibition was evaluated by the MTT assay. Twenty-two HOX genes were divided into three groups ( P1, P2, P3) according to their primer sequences, and the samples of cells were analyzed for the HOX genes' mRNA expression by means of the semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The level of the HOX genes' expression was expressed as the ratio expression rate of HOX gene to the β-actin. HCT-8 cells were treated with 1.0-5.0 mmol/L PA for 24-72 h. With the increase of the PA concentration or the prolongation of the treating time, the cell proliferation is inhibited in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The P1 group mRNA* expression(0. 5781 ±0. 0836) is significantly lower than that of the untreated group (0. 7701 ± 0. 0883 ) in HCT-8 cells (p 〈 0. 001 ).

文摘The effect and mechanism of phenylacetic acid on the proliferation of pancreatic carcinoma cells were investigated in cultured pancreatic carcinoma BXPC-3 cells by means of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and flow cytometry assay.The results show that the treatment of pancreatic carcinoma cells with phenylacetic acid significantly inhibited the cell proliferation in time-dependent and dose-dependent manners.The proliferation of BXPC-3 cells was inhibited at the stage of S phase,the cells at the end stage of S phase were accumulated abundantly,and thus DNA synthesis could not be accomplished entirely.In addition,the expression of adenosine deaminases acting on RNA(ADARs) mRNA in BXPC-3 cells and pancreatic carcinoma specimen were detected by RT-PCR.Having been treated with phenylacetic acid,ADAR2 mRNA in BXPC-3 cells was significantly decreased,the differences were of statistical significance(P0.01).Taken together,these results suggest that phenylacetic acid may likely regulate the proliferation of pancreatic carcinoma cells through the regulation of ADAR2 mRNA expression.

文摘Objective: To improve the preparation of adherent lymphokine-activated killer (A-LAK) cells and study the synergistic anti-tumor effect of phenylacetate (PA) and A-LAK cells. Methods: A-LAK cells were obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by using L-phenylalanine methyl ester (PME) to deplete immunosuppressive monocytes. The proliferation of SMMC7721 cell line treated with PA was studied. A-LAK cells were treated with the supernatant of SMMC7721 cells which had been pretreated with PA and the changes of the proliferation and anti-tumor activity of A-LAK cells were investigated. Results: The expansion of A-LAK cells was significantly higher than that of non-adherent LAK (NA-LAK) cells as well as regular LAK cells. The growth of SMMC7721 cells was significantly suppressed by PA. The supernatant of cultured tumor cells intensively suppressed the proliferation and cytotoxicity of A-LAK cells, but the suppressive effect of supernatant treated with PA previously was decreased. Conclusion: A-LAK cells could be simply prepared by using PME, and showed a synergistic anti-tumor effect with the combination of PA.
文摘The effects of differentiation inducer sodium phenylacetate on antigen expression of human breas cancer MDA-453 cells and their activity to induce allospecific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were investigated. The results showed that sodium phenylacetate could the expression of HLA-A2 molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAW-1) and protein HER-2/neu on the surface of MDA-453 cells. In mixed allogenic PBMC/MDA-453 cell (shared the same HLA-A2 locus) culture in vitro, MDA-453 cells could stimulate PBMC growth in the presence of low dose of interleukin-2 (IL-2 ), but sodium phenylacetate-treated MDA-453 cells were more potent for stimulating PBMC growth than the untreated cells. PBMC obtained from frow culture at 7th day could kill MDA-453 cells. The cytotoxicity of PBMC obtained form the culture at 21st day was restricted to MDA-453 cells (PBMC could hardly kill K562 and Raji cells), so the PBMC at this time could be called allospecific CTL. Sodium phenylacetate-treated MDA-453 cells were more potent for inducing allospecific CTL than the untreated cells in mixed allogenic PBMC/MDA-453 cell culture. In summary, sodium phenylacetate could increase the activity of breast cancer MDA-453 cells to induce allospecific CTL with a corresponding effect on antigen expression.
文摘Phenylacetylglutaminate (PG) and Phenylacetate (PN) are metabolites of Phenylbutyrate (PB) and are constituents of antineoplaston AS2-1. These are sodium salts of amino acid derivative and carboxylic acid that inhibit the growth of neoplastic cells without growth inhibitory effect in normal cells. The aim of this study was to identify molecular pathways involved in the anti-proliferative effect of antineoplastons. Using a total human genome microarray we have found that 1) Vitamin D3 upregulated protein (VDUP1) is significantly upregulated in response to PG and PN in the U87 glioblastoma cells;2) Isobologram analysis shows that PG and PN act in an additive or synergistic manner to effectively suppress proliferation of U87 cells;3) PG and PN cause cell cycle arrest, changes in expression of several cell cycle genes and suppress expression and activity of the G2/M checkpoint kinase, CHK1. The multiple cellular targets possibly make these compounds effective anti-proliferative agents. We propose that PG and PN in combination target important cellular pathways and upregulate VDUP1 leading to detachment-induced apoptosis in cancer cells.
文摘Several macroporous polymeric adsorbents (NDA-999, XAD-8, X-5 and XAD-2) were employed in the study to adsorb phenylacetic acid from aqueous solution. Effect of salt and ambient temperature on adsorption was studied using NDA-999 adsorbent and the adsorption process conforms to Freundlich抯 model reasonably. Adsorption dynamics were conducted in batch experiments in order to make clear the mechanism of adsorption process. It is proved that the squared driving force mass transfer model can be adopted to elucidate the process. The treatment process of industrial wastewater containing high strength of phenylacetic acid was proposed for cleaner production of phenylacetic acid.

文摘Bacteroides species are nearly half of the fecal flora community and some are host symbionts crucial to host nutrition and systemic immunity. Among Bacteroides species B. fragilis strains are considered to be the opportunistic ones, being the most isolated anaerobic bacteria in clinical samples. Cell-free supernatants of 65 B. fragilis strains were assayed and they were capable of inducing vacuolating phenotype on Vero cells lineage. The supernatant of the Bacteroides fragilis ATCC 23745 strain was elicited to have the strongest vacuolating effect on Vero cells monolayers and peritoneal macrophages. Some drastic cell alterations were observed, such as a general disorganization of cytoplasm and chromatin condensation, evidencing cell death. By transmission electron microscopy it was confirmed that the vacuoles observed were, in fact, swollen mitochondria. An immunocytochemical assay, TUNEL, was used to confirm this hypothesis and showed that Vero cells and peritoneal macrophages were dying by apoptotic process after exposition of B. fragilis cell-free supernatant. Physical analysis of the apoptotic factor has revealed properties similar to short-chain fatty acids. After gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis, phenylacetic acid (PA) was characterized as the major compound present in the most purified active fraction. We believe that the PA is responsible for the pro-apoptotic effect elicited by the supernatant of B. fragilis cultures.
