    Notes: Interleukin-1 β (IL-1β) is a potent regulator of osteoprogenitor cells and fibroblasts, and is believed to be responsible for the bone loss and connective tissue breakdown that occurs in periodontitis. Decorin, a major small proteoglycan in the periodontium, has been shown as an important mediator of the organization of the pericellular and extracellular matrix. Since the HPLF play a significant role in the regulation of extracellular matrix metabolism, it was important to clarify the causal relationship between cytokines, HPLF and proteoglycans. We investigated the effect of IL-1β on decorin gene expression and its functional regulation to elucidate the intracellular mechanism mediating the action of IL-1β. Quiescently confluent HPLF cultures were incubated for different treatment periods with various concentrations of IL-1β and/or 10-4 M cycloheximide (Cx) in culture medium supplemented with 1% charcoal-stripped serum for different treatment periods. Northern hybridization analyses, using decorin cDNA probe, showed that IL-1β increased the abundance of decorin mRNA in both a dose- and time-dependent manner. Most of the stimulation was blocked by Cx, indicating that the regulation of decorin gene expression by IL-1β may be via an indirect pathway, requiring new protein synthesis which regulates the promoter. Gel mobility shift analyses detected the specific DNA binding activity of a nuclear extract of AP-1, but not NF-κB, that could bind to the recognition site of decorin gene promoter fragments with the increased abundance in IL-1β treatment groups. These results suggest that the increased transcription of decorin gene by HPLF in the presence of IL-1β is mediated at least in part through the interaction of AP-1 with the decorin gene promoter.

    Notes: Abstract Fatigue behavior of carbon fiber reinforced poly etheretherketone (PEEK) laminated composite was investigated. The [±45]4s AS-4/PEEK laminated composites under static tensile measurement at various test temperatures were conducted. Three tension-tension fatigue loading frequencies, 1 Hz, 5 Hz and 10 Hz, were selected to study the effect of frequency on the fatigue behavior of [±45]4s AS-4/PEEK laminate. The survival probability of experimental fatigue life data under different stress amplitude tests were estimated and analyzed by the median rank order-statistic cumulative-distribution function and the Weibull distribution function. The S-N curves at different fatigue loading frequencies exhibited a trend of two-segment straight line curves. The increase in surface temperature of specimens was found and the thermal stress history was also investigated by thermo-image techniques during fatigue life testing. The fatigue failure mechanism was investigated by X-ray radiography.

    Notes: Abstract The use of molecularly imprinted polymers polymerized in a capillary for the separation of amino acid enantiomers by electrochromatography is described. The substrate-selective polymers were prepared by using l-phenylalanine anilide as print molecule and methacrylic acid as the functional monomer. The treatment of the inside surface of the capillary, the composition of the polymer and the electrochromatographic running conditions were investigated. This preliminary report demonstrated a novel and simple method for capillary electrochromatographic separations of amino acid enantiomers using molecularly imprinted polymers.

    Notes: Summary A combination of (β-CD) with a chiral crown ether, 18-crown-6-tetracarboxylic acid (18C6TA), has been used for the chiral capillary gel electrophoretic (CGE) separation of the six enantiomers and positional isomers in a mixture ofo-, m-, andp-fluoro-D,L-phenylalanine; the isomers were successfully resolved in 0.3% agarose −2×10−2 mol L−1 18C6TA −2×10−2 mol L−1 β-CD. The method has also been successfully extended to the separation of the enantiomers of 13 other amino acid or primary amine substrates. The role of the chiral crown ether was studied. The effects of the concentrations of 18C6TA, β-CD and agarose, and of pH and applied field strength on the migration time and separation factors of the analytes are reported.

    Notes: Summary A capillary electrophoresis method for the enantioseparation of D,L-aromatic amino acids using molecularly imprinted polymer as chiral selector has been developed. Methacrylic acid was used as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as crosslinking monomer. The molecularly imprinted polymer was packed in capillaries by incorporating with acrylamide gel. The composition of the polymerization mixtures affects the separation factor to some extent. The molar ratio of cross-linker to functional monomer to print molecule was 20∶4∶1, which gives the best separation for aromatic amino acid enantiomers by using L-phenylalanine anilide (L-pheAN) as print molecule. Under the same conditions, however, separation of D,L-phenylalanine using L-phenylalanine as print molecule is poorer than that using L-pheAN. Polymer particles (≤5 μm) were supported by 6% acrylamide and 5% bisacrylamide gel in the capillary. The effects of organic solvents, electrophoretic buffer and pH on separation were also investigated.

    Notes: Summary Recognition sites incorporating both pyridinyl and carboxy functionalities prepared by molecular imprinting were used for the enantioseparation of dansylated amino acids by capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Simultaneous non-covalent molecular imprinting of two chemically distinct functional monomers, vinylpyridine and methacrylic acid, was demonstrated in ethylene glycol dimethacrylate-based copolymers. Polymers obtained were ground and sieved to particles 〈10 μm for filling into capillaries for CEC. Such imprinted polymers demonstrated improved recognition capabilities compared to polymers incorporating only one of the functional monomers. Several aspects of polymer preparation were investigated including the polymerization temperature, effect of solvent, composition of polymer together with the running conditions of the CEC. Separation was highly-specific and depended on the presence of both print molecule and functional monomers in the polymerization mixture.

    Notes: Summary Ligand-exchange micellar electrokinetic chromatography has been used for the simultaneous separation of 16 positional and optical isomers of the tryptophan family. The Cu(II) complex with L-hydroxyproline was used as the chiral selector. Two groups of anionic surfactant, linear alkylbenzenesulfonates (LAS) and straight-chain alkyl sulfates such as sodiumn-decyl sulfate (SDeS), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodiumn-tetradecyl sulfate (STS), were used for simultaneous separation. The best result was obtained by use of SDS. The influence of SDS concentration and of pH on the separation was investigated. The separation behavior in the absence of the Cu(II) complex with L-hydroxyproline was also examined. Use of organic modifiers causes the resolution to decrease. Relationships between the logarithm of the octanol-water partition coefficient (logP OW) and resolution, and between logP OW and migration time are discussed.
