Colchicine Inhibited the Expression of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloprotenase-1 and Interleukin-6 in Cultured Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells

Cultured HSCs were treated colchicine with different concentrations for 12 h, respectively. The effects of eolehicine on HSCs growth were measured by MTT assay. Effects of eolchicine on gene expression of HSCs were analysed by using a self-made oligonucleotide mieroarray. Colehieine inhibited HSCs growth in a dose-dependent manner. After 12 h of treatment with 6.25 mg/L of colehicine, the expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloprotenase-1 （TIMP-1） and the expression of interleukin-6 （IL-6） in HSCs were downregulated by 2.3 folds and 2.1 folds, respectively. These results suggest that colchieine＇s beneficial effects may, at least in part, owe to the inhibitory to the proliferation of HSCs and down regulation of the expression of both TIMP1 and IL-6 in HSCs.

Polysaccharide separation mechanism in polysulfone-Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> magnetic composite membranes

Polysulfone (PSF)-Fe3O4 composite membranes were prepared by the phase-inversion process and their polysaccharide separation mechanism was explored using chondroitin sulfate (CS) and dextran. The mechanism was analyzed from constraints on the magnetic field and geometric deformation. It was found that variations in dextran rejection from 58% to 46% were mainly influenced by the geometric deformation of the composite membrane, while the magnetic field had a significant influence on variations in CS rejection from 82% to 35%. The results indicate that it is possible to continuously separate different types of polysaccharide with a composite membrane by adjusting the external magnetic field.     

1,1,1-三甲胺基甲酰亚胺分子结构的量化计算

采用量子化学中的DFT/B3LYP和MP2方法研究了1,1,1-三甲胺基甲酰亚胺HC(＝O)N^-N⁺(CH₃)₃的分子结构,在计算得到的平衡几何构型基础上进行了分子轨道(MO)和自然键轨道(NBO)计算。通过几何构型全优化,发现该分子存在Z型(顺式)和E型(反式)2种异构体,2种异构体中都存在一个对称平面,胺基酰亚胺官能团C(＝O)N^-N⁺位于这个对称平面上。分子的几何结构参数及MO和NBO分析都表明在这2种异构体中,N^-的p轨道孤对电子都与羰基π键存在很强的共轭效应,Z型异构体中存在2个强度较弱的分子内氢键O…H—C。由分子总能量、离域π键的强度和H键可以表明Z型异构体比E型异构体更稳定。
