Formation of quinone methide in the self-cure of quinoid phenol formaldehyde resin

The study of the reaction of some methylenebisphenols with chloranil in ethanol and also of a phenol formaldehyde condensate prepared by acid catalysis, reveals that quinone methide is formed in the self-cure of quinoid phenol formaldehyde resin. The quinone methide reacts with ethanol to give an adduct. The structure of the alcohol adduct is identified by NMR and IR data and by means of pyrolysis.     

一种用ICA去除瞬态诱发耳声发射伪迹的新方法

如何去除伪迹是瞬态诱发耳声发射检测中一个关键的问题。本研究提出了一种用ICA去除伪迹的新方法。首先用四组线性增长的刺激声在耳道内录音 ,得到的波形是瞬态诱发耳声发射和伪迹的混叠。因为伪迹和瞬态诱发耳声发射是统计独立的 ,而且伪迹随刺激声的变化线性增长 ,而瞬态诱发耳声发射随刺激声的变化非线性增长 ,逐渐趋于饱和 ,所以它们在混叠信号中具有不同的混叠系数。用ICA算法可以将各独立分量及混叠矩阵估计出来 ,伪迹是其中的一个独立分量。然后将伪迹的波形置零后再进行一次混叠 ,便达到了去除伪迹的目的。最后通过与传统的DNLR方法比较 ,证明这种方法是有效的     

Wg3h细胞系转染PSV_2-neo质粒前后生长特性及表面超微结构改变的研究

本文对转染PSV_2-neo质粒后的Wg3h细胞系(Wg3h-neo)在长期传代中的生长特性和表面超微结构与母系Wg3h细胞进行了比较研究。结果发现:转染后Wg3h细胞的DNA合成及生长速度明显高于母系Wg3h细胞,生长饱和密度增大。在软琼脂培养中不形成集落,接种在裸鼠不长肿瘤。在扫描电镜下,细胞表面的微绒毛较母系Wg3h细胞丰富。Southern印迹杂交实验证明PSV_2-neo质粒已整合到宿主细胞的基因组中。转染后Wg3h细胞的生长特性和表面超微结构均发生了某些转化特征。     

Fos oncoprotein expression in the rat forebrain following muscimol-induced absence seizures

Fos oncoprotein expression is a marker of neuronal activation following seizures. Here, using this method we examined the anatomical locations of muscimol-induced absence seizures in the rat forebrain. Six hours after a systemic injection of muscimol a massive Fos immunoreactivity appeared in the olfactory system, retrosplenial cortex and paraventricular thalamic nucleus, whereas other cortical areas contained low level of Fos expression. These results provide the first functional morphological evidence suggesting that these forebrain structures with Fos expression may play an important role in the pathophysiology of muscimol-induced absence seizures.     

p53 codon 72 polymorphism and risk of cervical carcinoma in Korean women

A common polymorphism of the wild type p53 is known at codon 72 of exon 4, with 2 alleles encoding either arginine (CGC, p53Arg) or proline (CCC, p53Pro). A recent study suggested that this polymorphism affects the susceptibility of p53 protein to human papillomavirus E6 oncoprotein mediated degradation and that individuals homozygous for p53Arg are seven times more susceptible to HPV-associated carcinogenesis of the cervix than heterozygotes. To examine whether the p53Arg genotype could be a risk factor for HPV-associated cervical carcinomas in the Korean population, we analyzed the p53 codon 72 polymorphism status of HPV-positive invasive cervical carcinomas from 52 Korean women and 103 healthy control samples. The proportion of individuals homozygous for p53Arg, homozygous for p53Pro, and heterozygous for the two alleles were 40%, 19%, and 41% in normal healthy controls; 42%, 17%, and 40% in women with HPV-positive invasive cervical carcinoma. There were no significant differences in the distribution of p53 genotypes between controls and cervical carcinomas. This finding indicates that the p53Arg genotype is not associated with an increased susceptibility to cervical carcinoma in Korean women.     

Digital detection of genetic mutations using SPC-sequencing

Deletion or insertion mutations lead to a frameshift that causes misalignment between wild-type and mutated allele sequences, making it difficult to identify such mutations unambiguously by using electrophoresis-based DNA sequencing. We have previously established the feasibility of an accurate DNA sequencing method using solid-phase capturable (SPC) dideoxynucleotides and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry on synthetic templates, an approach we refer to as SPC-sequencing. Here, we report the application of SPC-sequencing in characterizing frameshift mutations by using the detection of the BRCA1 gene mutations 185delAG and 5382insC as examples. In this method, Sanger DNA sequencing fragments are generated in one tube by using biotinylated dideoxynucleotides. The sequencing fragments carrying a biotin moiety at the 3' end are captured on a streptavidin-coated solid phase to eliminate excess primer, primer dimers, and false stops. Only correctly terminated DNA fragments are captured, subsequently released, and analyzed by mass spectrometry to obtain digital DNA sequencing data. This method produces distinct doublet mass peaks at each point in the mass spectrum beyond the mutation site, facilitating the accurate characterization of the mutation. We have compared SPC-sequencing with electrophoresis-based sequencing in characterizing the above BRCA1 mutations, demonstrating the significant advantage offered by SPC-sequencing for the accurate identification of frameshift mutations.
