模擬体液中のビニルホスホン酸ベースの共重合体のアパタイト形成能:リン酸基含有量の影響

<Abstract>

Phosphate groups on materials surfaces are known to contribute to apatite formation upon exposure of the materials in simulated body fluid and improved affinity of the materials for osteoblast-like cells. Typically, polymers containing phosphate groups are organic matrices consisting of apatite–polymer composites prepared by biomimetic process using simulated body fluid. Ca2+ incorporation into the polymer accelerates apatite formation in simulated body fluid owing because of increase in the supersaturation degree, with respect to apatite in simulated body fluid, owing to Ca2+ release from the polymer. However, the effects of phosphate content on the Ca2+ release and apatite-forming abilities of copolymers in simulated body fluid are rather elusive. In this study, a phosphate-containing copolymer prepared from vinylphosphonic acid, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate was examined. The release of Ca2+ in Tris-NaCl buffer and simulated body fluid increased as the additive amount of vinylphosphonic acid increased. However, apatite formation was suppressed as the phosphate groups content increased despite the enhanced release of Ca2+ from the polymer. This phenomenon was reflected by changes in the surface zeta potential. Thus, it was concluded that the apatite-forming ability of vinylphosphonic acid-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-triethylene glycol dimethacrylate copolymer treated with CaCl2 solution was governed by surface state rather than Ca2+ release in simulated body fluid.

Background and Aims Ultrathin sections of rice leaf blades observed two-dimensionally using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) show that the chlorenchyma is composed of lobed mesophyll cells, with intricate cell boundaries, and lined with chloroplasts. The lobed cell shape and chloroplast positioning are believed to enhance the area available for the gas exchange surface for photosynthesis in rice leaves. However, a cell image revealing the three-dimensional (3-D) ultrastructure of rice mesophyll cells has not been visualized. In this study, a whole rice mesophyll cell was observed using a focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM), which provides many serial sections automatically, rapidly and correctly, thereby enabling 3-D cell structure reconstruction. Methods Rice leaf blades were fixed chemically using the method for conventional TEM observation, embedded in resin and subsequently set in the FIB-SEM chamber. Specimen blocks were sectioned transversely using the FIB, and block-face images were captured using the SEM. The sectioning and imaging were repeated overnight for 200–500 slices (each 50 nm thick). The resultant large-volume image stacks (x = 25 μm, y = 25 μm, z = 10–25 μm) contained one or two whole mesophyll cells. The 3-D models of whole mesophyll cells were reconstructed using image processing software. Key Results The reconstructed cell models were discoid shaped with several lobes around the cell periphery. The cell shape increased the surface area, and the ratio of surface area to volume was twice that of a cylinder having the same volume. The chloroplasts occupied half the cell volume and spread as sheets along the cell lobes, covering most of the inner cell surface, with adjacent chloroplasts in close contact with each other. Conclusions Cellular and sub-cellular ultrastructures of a whole mesophyll cell in a rice leaf blade are demonstrated three-dimensionally using a FIB-SEM. The 3-D models and numerical information support the hypothesis that rice mesophyll cells enhance their CO2 absorption with increased cell surface and sheet-shaped chloroplasts.

次亜塩素酸塩処理によるポリアミド逆浸透膜の分解に及ぼす共存金属イオンの影響

<Abstract>

Accelerating effect of coexisting metal ions on the polyamide (PA) reverse osmosis membrane degradation by hypochlorite was evaluated. The acceleration mechanism by the metal ions was also examined. The acceleration of membrane degradation by hypochlorite was caused by all monovalent and divalent metal ions used in this study: Na+, K+, Ca2 +, Mg2 +, and Ba2 +. Potency of divalent metal ions in PA membrane degradation was shown since divalent ions in much lower concentration than the monovalent metal ions caused membrane degradation. Na+ did not accelerate the degradation of the PA membrane in concentrations less than 100 mM while Mg2 + and Ca2 + showed no threshold limits. Accelerated membrane degradation in the presence of both monovalent and divalent metal ions seemed to be influenced by the threshold limit of the monovalent ion within the concentration range of each of the ions present. Membrane degradation below the threshold limit is dominated by the divalent ion while above the threshold limit the monovalent ion dominated the degradation. The degradation mechanism of PA membranes with or without metal ions is the same. However, in the presence of the divalent ion, it possibly acts as a catalyst in the amide hydrolysis, leading to accelerated membrane degradation.
