A miniaturized potentiometric label-free immunosensor based on the standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconduction transistor(CMOS) process and micro fabrication technique was developed to monitoring diabetes, which could detect the concentrations of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and hemoglobin. This immunosensor includes a micro field-effect transistor based sensor chip integrated with signal readout circuit and a disposable probe electrode. The micro sensor chip was designed by our lab and fabricated by Chartered Semiconductor, Singapore. The disposable probe electrode, which was integrated with sensitive electrodes array and micro reaction pool, was deposited on polyester plastic based on micro fabrication techniques. Antibody of HbA1c and hemoglobin were immobilized on the electrode based on self assemble monolayer and gold nanoparticles. The characteristics of the electrode during modification were studied by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance technique. The response characteristic of the immunosensor was detected. HbA1c from 4 to 24 mg/L and hemoglobin from 60 to 180 mg/L can be detected by this immunosensor.

The pharmacodynamic active parts of protecting liver of Peristrope japonica (thunb.) Bremek were identified. Rat acute liver injury model was induced by D-galactosamine (D-GlaN). The active parts were identified on the whole extraction and 4 fractions. The results showed that the pharmacodynamic active parts of Peristrope japonica were the n-BuOH fraction.

Objective To investigate effects of heroin on prolactin(PRL) mRNA in female rats.Methods Fifty female Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups(10 rats each group): control,heroin-treated-3 d,heroin-treated-9 d,heroin-withdrawal-3 d and heroin-withdrawal-9 d groups.PRL mRNA of pituitary was assessed by(RT-PCR) and PRL concentration in rat plasma was determined by radioimmunoassay(RIA).Results The expression levels of PRL mRNA of pituitary were declined significantly in heroin-treated-3 d,9 d and heroin-withdrawal-3 d groups compared with control group(P0.05)).Conclusion The PRL mRNA in the pituitary and the PRL concentration in plasma in female rats are decreased by heroin and the effect can not be reversed in a short term after heroin withdrawal.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship among hepatitis B virus(HBV) basic core promoter(BCP) mutation,serum HBV DNA contents and HBV markers as well as liver function of chronic hepatitis B patients.METHODS The A to T mutation at nucleotide 1762 and G to A mutation at nucleotide 1764 were determined by the method of polymerase chain reaction(PCR) microplate hybridization ELISA in 176 patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.RESULTS The rate of HBV BCP mutants in negative and positive groups of HBeAg was 49.4% and 33.3%,respectively(P

Objective To detect the optimum reaction temperature,pH,Km of N-V proteinase and determine its enzymological classification.Methods The fibrin plate method was used to determine the optimum reaction temperature and pH of N-V proteinase.The Km of N-V proteinase was detected by using Leu-pNA as substrate.E64,PMSF,zymofren and 1,10-phenanthroline were used as inhibitors to determine proteinase classification of N-V proteinase.Results The optimum reaction temperature was 50℃,pH was 8-9,Km was 1.97?10-3mol?L-1.PSMF inhibited the fibrinolytic activity of N-V proteinase(P0.05).Conclusion N-V proteinase belongs to serine proteinase.

Objective To determine the effect of heroin on the gene expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) in rat C6 glioma cells,and investigate the molecular mechanism of heroin addiction.Methods The rat C6 glioma cells were treated with heroin with doses of 0-100 mg?L-1 for 24 h,MTT assay was used to detect the viability of cells,the gene expression level of PCNA was determined by RT-PCR.Results When the C6 cells were treated with heroin with doses of 10,20 and 100 mg?L-1,the cell viabilities were 90.62%,80.97%,and 62.73%,there were significant differences compared with control group(P

BACKGROUND:Chroming can improve the corrosion resistance of soft magnetic aloys. OBJECTIVE:To identify the optimal chroming conditions of two soft magnetic aloys, Fe-Cr-Mo and Fe-Ni, so as to improve their corrosion resistance. METHODS:Twelve pieces of square-shaped Fe-Cr-Mo and Fe-Ni soft magnetic aloys were casted in the size of 20 mm×20 mm×2 mm. After sanding and polishing, chrome plating was performed on these specimens and the coating thickness and hardness were measured. The selection factors included electroplate type (hexavalent chromium and trivalent chromium), current density (15, 20, 25, 35, 40, 45 A/dm2) and electroplating time (30, 40, 60 minutes). The optimal chroming conditions were determined by one-factor experimental method and the chrome plating was observed under a scanning electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Cr6+ coating was significantly better than Cr3+ coating in the aspects of hardness, thickness and uniformity, indicating Cr6+ coating can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of Fe-Cr-Mo and Fe-Ni aloys. For Fe-Cr-Mo soft magnetic aloy, the optimal conditions of Cr6+ coating were as folows: current density of 45 A/dm2 and electroplating time of 60 minutes; the optimal conditions of Cr3+ coating were as folows: current density of 20 A/dm2 and electroplating time of 30 minutes. For Fe-Ni soft magnetic aloys, the optimal conditions of Cr6+ coating were as folows: current density of 35 A/dm2 and electroplating time of 60 minutes; the optimal conditions of Cr3+ coating were as folows: current density of 20 A/dm2 and electroplating time of 40 minutes.

BACKGROUND:In the deep caries treatment, the pulp capping agent used in indirect pulp can induce the formation of dentin bridge (the complex of dental pulp and dentin), to protect the pulp tissue from stimulus and save the pulp vitality, completely avoid the occurrence of complications, with a higher clinical success rate. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the differences in clinical efficacy of five kinds of calcium hydroxide preparations. METHODS:Totaly 236 patients with deep caries were selected and randomized to undergo indirect pulp with the double-component calcium hydroxide powder (n=46), Metapex with one-component injection dosage form and the chemical curing calcium hydroxide preparation (n=47), Dycal with the chemical curing calcium hydroxide preparation (n=45), Ionosit-Baseliner (n=49) and Calcimol LC (n=49) with one-component and the light curing calcium hydroxide preparation. The status of the dental pulp, the restoration and the root tip were observed at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months after operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference between the five groups in the success rate of indirect pulp capping at 1, 6 and 12 months (P> 0.05). At 24 months, the success rate of indirect pulp capping in the double-component calcium hydroxide powder group was lower than that in the other four groups (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the latter four groups (P > 0.05). Metapex, Dycal, Ionosit-Baseliner and Calcimol LC al have a good effect on indirect pulp capping to deep caries, which can be used as agents for long-term pulp protection.

BACKGROUND:Temporary crown has been used widely in clinic. The physical properties and biological safety of temporary crown and cement materials are more superior along with the development of material science. OBJECTIVE:To summarize clinical application, physical properties and biological safety of the temporary crown and cement materials. METHODS:PubMed database was searched by the key words of temporary crown, provisional crown, temporary restoration, provisional restoration, interim restoration in English to retrieve relevant articles published from January 2004 to December 2014. Literatures addressing the temporary crown and cement materials were included, and the repetitive researches were excluded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Through the clinical evaluation and experimental study, the physical properties (polymerization shrinkage, polymerization heat production, polymerization monomer release) and biological safety (cytotoxicity, irritation to the soft tissue) of the temporary crown and cement materials are the key problems needed to overcome. With the appearance of new materials and new fabrication methods, the temporary crown and adhesive materials have great application prospect and higher clinical value, but in the exploration process of the laboratory research and clinical application, there are many problems to be solved.
