[Characteristics of polymorphism of 129th amino acid in PRNP among Han and Uighur Chinese].

BACKGROUND: An amino acid polymorphism for Met to Val has been identified at PrP codon 129 from different human races. In this study,the characteristics of polymorphism of PRNP 129th amino acid in Han and Uighur Chinese have been investigated. METHODS: Human DNAs were extracted from peripheral lymphocytes and PrP gene fragments were amplified with a specific PCR protocol. The distribution of 129th amino acid in PRNP was determined by a PCR-RFLP and the results were analyzed with software SAS for Windows 6.12. RESULTS: The frequencies of the allele 129 Met and 129 Val were 97.0% and 3.0% in Han Chinese, whereas 91.4% and 8.6% in Uighur Chinese. The frequency of 129 M/M phenotypes in Han Chinese was significantly higher than that in Uighur Chinese (P=0.0490). Comparing the phenotype distributions of codon 129 of Han Chinese with that of Japanese and Caucasian, there was significant difference with Caucasian (P=0.0005),but there was no difference with Japanese (P=0.5040). CONCLUSIONS: The polymorphism of 129th amino acid in PRNP of Han Chinese is similar to Japanese, but different from Uighur Chinese.

Combinatorial study of cofluorescence of rare earth organic complexes doped in the poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix.

The luminescence enhancement effect of different kinds and contents of rare earth complexe (RE(DBM)3Phen, RE = Dy, La, Gd, Sm, Y; DBM = dibenzoylmethane; Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) sensitized Eu(DBM)3Phen doped in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix was investigated using the combinatorial method. The efficiency of the luminescence enhancement increases with a decrease in the weight percentage of the Eu(DBM)3Phen and an increase in the molecular weight of the PMMA in the systems. Among these sensitization ion complexes, La(DBM)3Phen shows the highest sensitization efficiency. At the optimal content of 5 wt % Eu(DBM)3Phen and 350,000 g/mol weight average molecular weight (Mw) of PMMA, the maximum sensitization efficiency of La(DBM)3Phen is approximately 20 times. We believe that the PMMA with high molecular weight enwraps the rare earth complexes and keeps the donors and acceptors close, which results in the effective intermolecular energy transfer and, consequently, the high sensitization efficiency.

Parallel solution combustion synthesis for combinatorial materials studies.

A parallel solution combustion synthesis technique was developed for combinatorial materials studies. The vigorous combustion reactions were successfully limited in the microreactors by using a substrate-net-mask microreactor system and the lowest adoptable furnace temperature. Using this technique, a luminescent materials library of Y3Al5O12/Tb(chi) was synthesized with the aid of an ink-jet delivery system. Structure and luminescence characterizations were implemented using X-ray diffraction and UV/X-ray spectroscopies, respectively. The results show that this technique is reliable and applicable to combinatorial study of powder materials with high synthesis temperature.
