Extracellular electron transfer

Results from several laboratories indicate that extracellular electron transfer may be a general mechanism whereby microoorganisms generate energy for cell growth and/or maintenance. Specifically, bacteria can use redox-active organic small molecules, generated outside or inside the cells, to shuttle electrons between reduced and oxidized compounds. Electron shuttling has now been reported for several different bacterial species, and exchanges of shuttling compounds may even syntrophically link diverse organisms in nature. Biofilm systems in both geological and clinical settings are likely to be important environments for metabolisms that employ extracellular electron transfer. Both structural and functional analyses suggest that electron shuttles and some virulence factors may be related to one another.

不同混凝剂处理印染废水试验研究

选取了市售的聚合氯化铝铁（PAFC）、聚合硫酸铁（PFS）、聚合氯化铝（PAC）和自制聚合硫酸铁铝（PAFS）4种常用混凝剂对重庆某印染废水进行试验,探讨了混凝剂种类、废水pH值对印染废水脱色、COD去除效果的影响;考察了自制PAFS投加量、助凝剂投加量对印染废水的脱色、COD去除效果的影响;结果表明：4种混凝剂的混凝效果排序为：PAFS＞PAFC＞PFS＞PAC;在不调节原水pH的条件下,PAFS投机量为0.3 g/L时,印染废水的COD和色度分别达到最高为82.8％和86.6％;在此基础上再加入助凝剂的用量为4 mg/L时,印染废水的COD和色度最高分别达到95.8％和96.6％.     

Serum amyloid A: An acute-phase protein involved in tumour pathogenesis

The synthesis of acute-phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) is largely regulated by inflammation- associated cytokines and a high concentration of circulating SAA may represent an ideal marker for acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. However, SAA is also synthesized in extrahepatic tissues, e.g. human carcinoma metastases and cancer cell lines. An increasing body of in vitro data supports the concept of involvement of SAA in carcinogenesis and neoplastic diseases. Accumulating evidence suggests that SAA might be included in a group of biomarkers to detect a pattern of physiological events that reflect the growth of malignancy and host response. This review is meant to provide a broad overview of the many ways that SAA could contribute to tumour development, and accelerate tumour progression and metastasis, and to gain a better understanding of this acute-phase reactant as a possible link between chronic inflammation and neoplasia.

Thrombospondins: from structure to therapeutics

Thrombospondins are large secreted, multimodular, calcium-binding glycoproteins that have complex roles in mediating cellular processes. Determination of high-resolution structures of thrombospondins has revealed unique and interesting protein motifs. Here, we review this progress and discuss implications for function. By combining structures of modules from thrombospondins and related extracellular proteins it is now possible to prepare an overall model of the structure of thrombospondin-1 and thrombospondin-2 and discern features of other thrombospondins.

MWCNT-PEI对细菌菌膜生长和结构的影响

菌膜是细菌适应周围环境的重要生存模式，在调控地球物质循环方面发挥着积极作用.碳纳米材料由于其独特的理化性质，在多个领域得到广泛应用.这些材料释放到环境中是否会影响菌膜生长和结构的变化，成为纳米毒理学领域的前沿热点.文章合成了一种接枝聚乙烯亚胺的多壁碳纳米管（MWCNT-PEI），具有良好的分散性、稳定性，以及优异的抗菌能力.同时，MWCNT-PEI会改变菌膜的生长周期和成熟菌膜结构组分，即刺激细菌分泌更多的胞外多聚物基质（EPS）.文章可为评估碳纳米材料的环境风险提供理论指导，也可为调控菌膜生长和结构提供新思路.
