Primary study of a novel Tc-tricarbonyl cocaine analogue as the potential DAT imaging agent

The convenient preparation of organometallic precursor fac-[99mTc(CO)3 (H2O)3] opens a new route to design new radiopharmaceuticals. Based on this precursor, a new cocaine analogue, Tropyn, is designed and synthesized,and “2 1” mixed-ligands approach is used to prepare a neutral complex [^99mTc(CO)3(Tropyn)I]. Biodistribution in mice and rats proves that it has sufficient brain uptake. Rat regional brain biodistribntion indicates that the complex is highly concentrated in the striatum (ST) with rapid clearance in the cortex (CT) and hippocampus (HP), which make it valuable for further investigation as the potential Second-Generation DAT imaging agent.

The ABC transporter structure and mechanism: perspectives on recent research

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are multidomain integral membrane proteins that utilise the energy of ATP hydrolysis to translocate solutes across cellular membranes in all phyla. ABC transporters form one of the largest of all protein families and are central to many important biomedical phenomena, including resistance of cancers and pathogenic microbes to drugs. Elucidation of the structure and mechanism of ABC transporters is essential to the rational design of agents to control their function. While a wealth of high-resolution structures of ABC proteins have been produced in recent years, many fundamental questions regarding the proteins mechanism remain unanswered. In this review, we examine the recent structural data concerning ABC transporters and related proteins in the light of other experimental and theoretical data, and discuss these data in relation to current ideas concerning the transporters molecular mechanism.Received 29 August 2003; received after revision 19 November 2003; accepted 28 November 2003

半导体制造AMHS中悬挂式小车多因素调度方法

为提高半导体制造系统的整体性能,提出了一种考虑多因素的悬挂式小车（overhead hoist transporter,OHT）调度方法. 从工作站、晶圆批、搬运系统三方面分析了搬运距离、晶圆批优先级、工作站特性、OHT利用率、等待时间5个关键因素. 以成本最小作为调度目标,基于这5个因素构造了混合多因素调度模型,同时引用二分图匹配方法构建了调度模型的求解算法. 最后进行了仿真实验设计和分析,结果表明该方法是有效、可行的.      

绿茶多酚在药物开发领域的研究进展

阐述了绿茶多酚的化学组成、生物代谢以及在药物开发领域的进展,主要集中在对癌症、神经退行性疾病、糖尿病的预防和治疗方面.茶多酚潜在的抗肿瘤活性可以通过干预肿瘤发生、发展、转移等各个阶段来进行,但茶多酚发展成为治疗药物还是面临很多挑战,比如,低生物药效率.基于纳米颗粒的药物传递系统相比单纯的茶多酚具有特别的优势,同时,为了处理新出现的安全问题和潜在的局部药物过量效应,有必要确定包裹纳米粒子以后的药物实际用量和药理学机制.     

膜片钳全细胞记录法在研究谷氨酰胺转运蛋白分子机制中的应用

为了研究中性氨基酸转运蛋白-谷氨酰胺转运蛋白的结构与功能,采用膜片钳全细胞记录法测定谷氨酰胺转运蛋白2介导的电流.结果表明:谷氨酰胺转运蛋白诱导了底物氨基酸和Na+浓度依赖性电流,可用于测定底物氨基酸和Na+对转运蛋白的表观亲和常数Km,SNAT2野生型对丙氨酸的表现亲和常数KmAla为(200±5)×10-6mol/L,对Na+的表观亲和常数KmNa为(100±7)×10-3mol/L.谷氨酸转运蛋白转运底物氨基酸过程是生电的过程,在膜电势负值时氨基酸转运电流增大,可用于转运机制的研究.因此膜片钳全细胞记录法是研究谷氨酰胺转运蛋白分子机制的有效方法.

Functions and transport of silicon in plants

Silicon exerts beneficial effects on plant growth and production by alleviating both biotic and abiotic stresses including diseases, pests, lodging, drought, and nutrient imbalance. Recently, two genes (Lsi1 and Lsi2) encoding Si transporters have been identified from rice. Lsi1 (low silicon 1) belongs to a Nod26-like major intrinsic protein subfamily in aquaporin, while Lsi2 encodes a putative anion transporter. Lsi1 is localized on the distal side of both exodermis and endodermis in rice roots, while Lsi2 is localized on the proximal side of the same cells. Lsi1 shows influx transport activity for Si, while Lsi2 shows efflux transport activity. Therefore, Lsi1 is responsible for transport of Si from the external solution to the root cells, whereas Lsi2 is an efflux transporter responsible for the transport of Si from the root cells to the apoplast. Coupling of Lsi1 with Lsi2 is required for efficient uptake of Si in rice. Received 21 December 2007; received after revision 29 April 2008; accepted 15 May 2008
