A novel silica monolithic stationary phase functionalized with butylaminopropyl ligands for capillary electrochromatography(CEC) has been presented. The monolithic capillary columns were prepared by a sol-gel) process and subsequent a chemical modification. The amino groups on the surface of the stationary phase are meant to generate a substantial anodic electroosmotic flow (EOF). The butyl and propyl groups provide) hydrophobic properties. To evaluate the column performance, effects of buffer pH and organic modifier content on the EOF and electrochromatographic retention behavior of alkylbenzenes, organic acids and anilines were investigated. The monolithic stationary phase exhibited reversed phase (RP) chromatographic behavior toward neutral solutes. The model organic acid anion solutes were separated by the mixed mode mechanism, which comprised RP interaction, weak anion-exchange, and electrophoresis. Basic compounds such as anilines) were well separated on the butylaminopropyl silica monolithic column without peak tailing.

The research on intracellular trafficking of adenovirus has been described mainly through observations of subgroup C adenoviruses in transformed cell lines. The basic elements of the trafficking pathway include binding to receptors at the cell surface, internalization by endocytosis, lysis of the endosomal membrane, escape to the cytosol, intracellular trafficking along microtubules, nuclear pore docking, and viral genome translocation into the nucleus. More than 80% of the adenovirus genome is delivered to the nucleus in a highly efficient manner in approximately 1 h. However, exceptions to this trafficking pattern have been noted, including: variations based on target cell type, cell physiology, and adenovirus serotype. This review summarizes mechanism of adenovirus infection pathway and intracellular trafficking, providinging a foundation for the development of clinical adenoviral vector.

Objective To study the seasonal changes of glucose levels per unit soft tissue of Oncomelania hupensis. Meth-ods O. hupensis snails were collected from the beach of the Qingyi River in Wuhu City,Anhui Province from August 2012 to July 2013. They were kept in minus 80℃refrigerator immediately. The male snails were distinguished from female,and their soft tissues were collected separately after crushing their shells. The hexokinase method was used to measure the glucose concen-trations,and the results were analyzed statistically. Results The contents of glucose decreased from March to July. The lowest glucose content in the female was 1.87μg/mg in March,and that in male was 3.70μg/mg in July. Both of them increased from August and reached peak levels in September(♀=57.38μg/mg,♂=44.39μg/mg),and then gradually decreased from Octo-ber to next January and increased in February. Conclusion The contents of glucose have seasonal changes regularly in O. hu-pensis.

Aim: To study the effect of Eudragit S-100, a pH-responsive polymer, on protein refolding level, using recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor-2 (rhKGF-2) as a model protein. Methods: The refolding of rh-KGF-2 was performed by directly diluting denatured rhKGF-2 into a refolding buffer containing different concentrations of Eudragit. The ability of Eudragit S-100 to enhance protein refolding level was investigated using MTT assay, reverse phase HPLC, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Results: The addition of Eudragit S-100 in the refolding buffer significantly increased the rhKGF-2 refolding yield to 71%, when dilution refolding was conducted at 0. 5 mg/mL rhKGF-2. The outcome from the refolding study showed possibility of a special interaction between rhKGF-2 and Eudragit, suggesting that the refolding-enhancing ability of Eudragit S-100 was due to this interaction between Eudragit S-100 and rhKGF-2. Mean while, the result showed that the concentration of urea was also an important factor for the optimization of the refolding in the presence of Eudragit. Conclusion: Eudragit S-100 can significantly increase the refolding level of rhKGF-2.

Authentications of Chinese herbal medicine have a critical effect in Chinese clinical medicine. DNA molecular marker, as an important component for true or false authentication, is more and more widely used in iden-tification of Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, many new methods for authentication of Chinese medici-nal materials are continuously emerging. But the systematically comparative analysis of these new methods is lack. The present study taking Lonicera japonica as an example, systematically compared principles, characteristics, ex-periment methods, detection time and the application scope of express sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR), polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR), DNA barcoding and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and put forward corresponding improve-ment opinions. This study can help to screen appropriate approach for rapid authentication of L. japonica and offer demonstrating to other Chinese herbal medicines.
