Miscibility and Intermolecular Specific Interactions in Blends of Poly(hydroxyether sulfone) and Poly(N‐vinylpyrrolidone)

Summary: The blends of poly(hydroxyether sulfone) (PHES) with poly(N‐vinylpyrrolidone) (PVPy) were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and FTIR spectroscopy. The miscibility of the blend system was established on the basis of the thermal analysis results. DSC showed that the PHES/PVPy blends prepared by casting from N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) possessed single, composition‐dependent glass transition temperatures, indicating that the blends are miscible in the entire composition. The experimental glass transition temperatures have higher values than those calculated on the basis of additive behavior; the variation of the glass transition temperatures of the blends was accounted for by the Kwei equation. FTIR studies indicate that competitive hydrogen bonding interactions exist upon addition of PVPy to the system, which were involved in the self‐ and cross‐association, i.e., ? OH···O?S, ? OH···OH of PHES and ? OH···O?C< of PVPy. The FTIR spectra in the range of the sulfonyl stretching vibrations showed that the hydroxyl‐associated sulfonyl groups are partially “set free” upon addition of PVPy to the system. The IR spectroscopic investigation of both the model compounds and the PHES/PVPy blends suggests that the strength of the hydrogen bonding interactions in the blend system increases in the following order: ? OH···O?S, ? OH···OH and ? OH···O?C<.

Encoding of electrical, thermal, and mechanical noxious stimuli by subnucleus reticularis dorsalis neurons in the rat medulla

1. In anesthetized rats, recordings were made within the medullary subnucleus reticularis dorsalis (SRD) from neurons that exhibited convergence of nociceptive inputs from the entire body. Neurons with total nociceptive convergence (TNC) responded to suprathreshold percutaneous electrical stimuli (2-ms duration) with an early and a late peak due to activation of A delta- and C-fibers, respectively, no matter which part of the body was stimulated. Neurons with partial nociceptive convergence (PNC) responded to the same stimuli with an A delta-peak regardless of which part of the body was stimulated and with a C-peak of activation from some, mainly contralateral, parts of the body. The characteristics of the responses of these neurons to the application of graded intensities of electrical, thermal, and mechanical stimuli were analyzed. 2. All TNC neurons and 85% of PNC neurons responded to A delta- and C-fiber activation following percutaneous electrical stimulation of the contralateral hindpaw. With regard to A delta-fiber-evoked responses, a linear relationship between the logarithm of the applied current and the magnitude of the responses was found within the 0.25- to 6.0-mA and 0.5- to 24-mA ranges for TNC and PNC neurons, respectively; however, these curves were essentially similar. With regard to C-fiber-evoked responses, such a linear relationship was found within the 1.5- to 6.0-mA range for both types of SRD neurons, although the TNC neurons presented larger C-fiber-evoked responses than did the PNC neurons. 3. TNC and PNC neurons linearly increased their discharges during the application of noxious thermal stimuli to the contralateral hindpaw within the range 44-52 degrees C; the mean responses evoked by noxious heat from TNC neurons were of higher magnitude than those from PNC neurons. The majority of SRD neurons presented long-lasting afterdischarges, especially with the highest temperature employed (52 degrees C). 4. TNC neurons monotonically increased their discharges during graded mechanical or thermal stimulation of the tail. When mechanical stimuli were applied, a linear relationship was found between the logarithm of the strength of the mechanical stimulus and the neuronal discharges, in the 5.3- to 7.4-N/cm2 range. With thermal stimulation, TNC neurons linearly increased their discharges in the 44-52 degrees C range. When increasing amounts of the tail were immersed in a 50 degrees C waterbath, TNC neurons increased their discharges within a restricted range of tail surface areas (0.9-5.7 cm2); further increases in the stimulated surface size were not followed by increases in firing rate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

受体选择与B细胞自身免疫耐受

基因重组机制的存在使得B细胞抗原受体呈现高度的多态性,这其中包括大量的自身反应性抗原受体;而免疫细胞在发育过程中对自身抗原耐受状态的形成正是为了避免对机体自身的攻击。传统认为这主要缘于自身反应性细胞或克隆的死亡性清除,即细胞选择;近年来随基因操作技术特别是转基因及基因靶导技术的成熟运用,发现这些被“清除”的细胞并非全部死亡,其中大部分是通过重新启动基因重组机制以一种“受体选择”(Receptor selection)的方式,以重组的新的非自身反应性受体替代了原自身反应性受体;同时受体选择尚参与成熟B特异性的调整,以使正参与免疫反应B细胞受体更加多样化从而适应当前免疫应答的需要。
