The interaction between the anti-Ractopamine (Rac) monoclonal antibody and the Rac derivation immobilized on the sensor chip surface was studied with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor. A continuous detection method based on the linear response during the association phase was developed. The sensor chip surface was regenerated after several tests performed continuously, thus the detection step was simplified and the life span of the chip was prospected to be prolonged. The detection was performed as an inhibitive immunoassay. The mixture of anti-Rac monoclonal antibody and the sample flowed over the surface with Rac derivation was immobilized. The relative response was in inversely proportion to the concentration of Rac. The detection limit was less than 4 μg/L with a detection time of 15 min.

The fabrication and experimental test results were presented for a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-based gas chromatography column. Compared with conventional column, this micro-gas chromatography column is suitable for on-line analysis and monitoring because of the small size, rapid analysis and other characteristics. These 0.5, 1 and 3 m GC columns were fabricated using a deep reactive-ion etching (DRIE) and were coated the stationary phase via a dynamic coating procedure. These GC columns perfectly separated the mixture of benzene, toluene and o-xylene in less than 200 s, where, the 3.0 m of the GC column achieved) a high resolution of 14.3 between toluene and o-xylene and yielded approximately 6160 plates. Moreover, the effect of separation performance for different column length were examined and compared. These GC columns are suitable for the application of a variety of disciplines, including environmental analysis, methane gas probes and homeland security.

BACKGROUND: There is no study on starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as guided tissue regeneration membranes. The guided tissue regeneration membrane with porous structure were prepared, which combined with the advantages of natural polymer and synthetic polymer. OBJECTIVE: To research the effects of the preparation conditions on the properties of starch/PVA membranes. METHODS: The porous membranes of guiding tissue regeneration were prepared mainly by starch and PVA through solution mixing, casting, freezing and drying. The effects of the mass ratio of PVA and starch, solution concentration, and pre-freezing temperature on the properties of the membrane were researched. The surface morphology, tensile strength, porous ratio, water absorbance and cell cytotoxicity were characterized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The aperture of the membrane was 1-50 μm, the porosity was 60%-70%, and the tensile strength was 12-26 MPa. And this membrane had the excellent biocompatibility and hydrophilicity. The pores in the surface were evenly distributed with the solution concentration of 5% and the pre-freezing temperature of -30℃. The more content of starch was, and the larger of the aperture was.

Objective:To explore the method of measuring the intensity of pressure on dermal scars.Methods:The testing inductor to taste intensity of pressure (being forced by such as elastic bandages enswathements ,etc.) was by way of the pressing transducer.The pressure signal (degree mv) of the transducer was magnified and transferred to tiny controls where A/D switch happened.All of processions were accomplished by soft wares of C language and results were displayed by LED.Results and Conclusions:The apparatus can measure the intensity of pressure basing on different intensities (such as kgf/cm2 or mmHg or kPa,etc).The results were credible and the operations were simple.

BACKGROUND: The strength and elasticity of general starch can be enhanced dramatically after plastic blends. The major characters of this material are magnitude molecular weight, many enwinded points, extreme containment of small molecules,and great gelation ability. It can be used as a biodegradable replacement of alginate. Furthermore, by adding osteoinductive factors, thermoplastics starch (TP) can be used as an organic engineering material, which can provide dual functions:anti-bleeding and bone formation. TP can also be used as intraoral tissue formation membrane and burn dressings.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the bio-safety of TP through a cytotoxicity test.DESIGN: A controlled observation.SETTING: Beijing Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedics; Beijing Jishuitan Hospital; Beijing University of Chemical Technology; Peking Univesity School of Stomatology.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted at the laboratory of Beijing Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedics from April to October in 2006. TP sample was obtained by plasticization of corn starch (12 wt % water content) with glycerol in a Haake Rhenmix at 110℃ and with 80 rounds per minute for 25 minutes, elongation at break from 115.3% to 245.3%. It was prepared by Beijing Key Laboratory for Preparation and Processing of Novel Polymeric Materials, Beijing University of Chemical Technology. Mouse fibroblast L-929 cell strain was provided by the cell bank of Peking University Health Science Center.METHODS: 1 × 107 L-1 cell aqueous suspension was cultured into leaching liquor ( 50% ), serving for TP group, and routine culture medium served for negative control group. Effect of TP on relative growth rate of L-929 cell strain was quantitatively measured by MTI" assay. The cytotoxicity of TP was evaluated according to GB/T16175-1996. Morphological changes and proliferation of cells were observed after2, 4, and 7 days of culture in the medium through an inverted phase contrast microscope.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cytotoxicity, morphological changes and proliferation of cells, and cell relative growth rate.RESULTS: Cytotoxicity: After 2 and 4 days of incubation, the absorbance (A) value was lower in the TP group than in the negative control group. After 7 days of incubation, the A value was significantly higher compared to negative control group (P＜0.01). It indicated that after 2 and 4 days of incubation, the cytotoxicity in the TP group was larger than in the negative control group, while after 7 days of incubation, it was on the opposite. All the test time, TP's cytotoxicity grade ranged from 0 to 1. Morphological change and proliferation of cells: After 2 days of incubation, both groups of cells were not extended to the outside of the scope, with a majority shape of being round, triangle, and quadrangle in the TP group or fusiform cells in the negative control respectively. Four days later, there were gaps among cells in the TP group, while in the negative control group, there were hardly any distance between cells and some cells piled up. Seven days later, cells in starch medium suddenly grew up to such a degree that all the cells lapped over and presented with more bloom than the negative control. Cell relative growth rate: After 2, 4, and 7 days of incubation, relative growth rate increased with time, being 85.63%,82.22%, and 113.05%, respectively.CONCLUSION: TP has no evidence of cytotoxicity and has good bio-safety.

[Objective]To examine whether collagen scaffold(CS) would strengthen calcium phosphate cement(CPC) in vitro,and to investigate whether CPC enhanced with CS would accelerate the osteogenesis for repairing bone defect in rabbits.[Method] A standard 3-piont flexural test was used to fracture the set specimens and to measure the flexural strength,work-of-fracture(WOF) and elastic modulus of CPC and cpclcs.Both cements were implanted into cylinder cavities drilled in 20 rabbit femoral condyles.After 22 and 54 weeks of implantation,histological observations were performed.[Result]The CS had significant effects on composite of mechanical properties.The CPC/CS had a flexural strength 64.2% higher,WOF 3 933.3% higher,and elastic modulus 45.7% lower than the CPC without CS.At 22 weeks,histological study showed collagen fibers of the CPC/CS composite were entirely resorbed and new bone was formed instead.With unreinforced CPC,there were a little bone formation and biodegradation of cement on the margin but not in the interior of CPC.At 54 weeks,plentiful growing bone and bone marrow-like tissue fully filled in pores created by biodegradation of CPC/CS.Although bone formation and biodegradation of cement were more obvious on the margin of CPC cylinder at 54 weeks than 22 weeks,new bone did not present in the interior of CPC yet.[Conclusion]Collagen scaffold not only reinforces CPC,but also accelerates bone formation in the interior of CPC/CS composite.Therefore,CPC/CS could be novel biomaterial as an endosteal implant.
