RESUMO
Triphenyltin chloride (TPhT) is a widely applied toxic compound that poses a significant threat to humans and the environment. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), capable of non-destructive, rapid, and trace detection, is desirable to better evaluate its distribution and content. However, a sensitive method with simple measuring protocols which maintains excellent reproducibility remains challenging. Here, we proposed an inter-coffee-ring effect to accelerate the sampling and measuring process while maintaining highly reproducible results. Two overlapping coffee-rings are formed through sequenced drying of gold nanorod colloids and a gold nanorod TPhT mixture on a superhydrophobic light-confining structure. Both the gold nanorods and the TPhT are enriched in the overlapping region. The gold nanorods reordered in such an area under the inter-coffee-ring effect yielded vast numbers of consistent hotspots at the sub-2 nm level. Such consistency leads to excellent SERS performance under the light-confining effect induced by the nanoarray substrates. The detection limits of the probe molecule R6G reached 10-12 M, and TPhT reached 10-8 M while achieving excellent stability and reproducibility, and a linear regression coefficient above 0.99 was achieved for TPhT. Crucially, the visible nature of the inter-coffee-ring overlap enabled rapid measurements, thus providing robust support for detecting environmental pollutants.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate whether 17β-estradiol (E2) can stimulate the proliferation,migration,and secretion of trefoil factor family 1 (TFF1) in papillary thyroid cancer K-1 cells and explore the molecular mechanisms.Methods ELISA was used to detect the content of TFF1 in the supernatant of K-1 cells after the treatment of E2,propylpyrazoletriol (PPT,ERα agonist) or diarylpropionitrile (DPN,ERβ agonist).The expression of ERα and ERβ in the untreated cells was measured by Western blotting.ERα siRNA and ERβ siRNA by RNA interference were designed and synthesized,and the change of TFF1 was measured by ELISA again after the transfection.The interaction between TFF1 promoter and ER was evaluated by chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis (CHiP).The proliferation and migration were detected in the K-1 cells after E2 treatment by MTT assay and Transwell chamber test respectively.Festults After E2 treatment,the TFF1 content in the supernatant of K-1 cells was increased gradually,reached peak at 24 h,and then declined slowly.PPT treatment enhanced the secretion of TFF1 but DPN decreased it in the K-1 cells.Transfection of ERα siRNA obliterated the inductive effect of E2 on the secretion of TFF1,but that of ERβ siRNA increased the inductive effect in the K-1 cells.Western blotting showed that the expression level of ERα was higher than that of ERβ in the K-1 cells.ChIP results confirmed that ERα protein was bound to the promoter of TFF1 gene in K-1 cells.E2 treatment promoted cell proliferation and improved cell migration in the K-1 cells.Conclusion E2 induces the expression and secretion of TFF1 in K-1 cells through ERα-dependent manner,and thus promotes the proliferation and migration of the cells.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare the inclusion complex capsules of actarit-HP-?-CD and investigate their dissolution rate.METHODS:The inclusion complex was prepared by the stirring method with its dissolution rate investigated.The inclusion complex capsules were prepared with fillers consisted of starch,microcrystalline cellulose,lactose and calcium sulphate.The dissolution rate of the capsules was investigated by basket-stirring method and compared with those of the pure material and the physical mixture.RESULTS:Compared with pure material and physical mixture,the inclusion complex had significant lower value of Td(P
RESUMO
AIM: To study the characterization of thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) and its active fragment TSHR aa352-366 as immunogens in BALB/c mice. METHODS: BALB/c mice were injected peritoneally with TSHR aa352-366-KLH (hemocyanin from keyhole limpets) and the mixture of TSHR aa352-366-KLH and guinea pig TSHR every 15 days, respectively. The levels of thyroid hormones and TSHR antibodies and TSHR mRNA were measured, and the pathological changes of thyroid tissue were observed. RESULTS: In the group injected with TSHR aa352-366-KLH, the serum levels of TT_3 and TT_4 decreased (P
