Abstract

The in vitro model of pneumococcal infection, using continuous mammalian cell lines, is proposed. Two different types of interaction between bacteria and eucaryotic cells are described: the intracellular ingestion of bacteria or their proliferation on the surface of the cellular monolayer, these different types of interaction being characteristic of different cell lines. In case of the proliferation of bacteria on the surface of the monolayer the forms, morphologically similar to the stages of microbial L-transformation, have been detected.

Three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxyapatite@gelatin composite as efficient adsorbent for uranyl ion removal from low-level radioactive wastewater.

The contamination of water resources by uranyl (UO22+) ions poses significant environmental and health risks, requiring the development of efficient and sustainable remediation strategies. Adsorption-based techniques have emerged as promising approaches in the field of UO22+ removal, but the design of cost-effective, high-capacity, and environmentally friendly adsorbents remains challenging. In this study, a three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxyapatite@gelatin (nHAP@Ge) composite was synthesized through glutaraldehyde cross-linking, combining the structural stability of Ge with the high uranium affinity of nHAP. The optimized nHAP@Ge, with a nHAP:Ge mass ratio of 1:0.5, exhibited exceptional UO22+ removal efficiency (97 %), along with high adsorption capacity (364.03 mg/g). Systematic characterizations using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods revealed that the porous structure and surface functional groups (-OH, Ca2+, and PO43-) of the material synergistically contributed to binding UO22+ species. Furthermore, the incorporation of nHAP into the Ge framework resulted in enhanced thermal stability while significantly improving the UO22+ adsorption performance. This work presents a scalable, eco-friendly, and recyclable strategy for the effective treatment of uranium-contaminated water, with potential applications in nuclear wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.

Surface characterization, protein adsorption, and initial cell-surface reactions on glutathione and 3-mercapto-1,2,-propanediol immobilized to gold.

Monolayers of glutathione (GSH) and 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol (MG) on gold were tested for their bioreactivity by assessing the degree of inflammatory reaction as manifested by the adherence and activation of platelets and white blood cells (wbc) after exposure to blood ex vivo. Surface composition was characterized by XPS, and noncontact optical profilometry was used to determine surface roughness. The thickness and composition of the adsorbed protein layers were measured by ellipsometry/antibody techniques in vitro. Cell adhesion and activation were quantified by acridine orange staining, fluorescein-diacetate staining, and by specific antibodies against cell membrane antigens. Distinct differences among the surfaces were observed relative to the amounts and composition of adsorbed plasma proteins and the adhesion and activation of platelets (CD62P-exposure) and wbc (CD11b/CD18-exposure). GSH surfaces, which adsorbed the least amount of plasma protein, caused the least adherence and activation of platelets (CD62P), followed by the highest activation of wbc (CD11b/18). The MG surfaces caused a rapid recruitment and activation of platelets (CD62P), followed by a lower activation of wbc (CD11b/18). Thus it appears that measurements of the initial adsorption of plasma protein from anticoagulated plasma and of the adhesion and activation of platelets after 8 min of exposure to whole blood cannot be used to predict accurately the adhesion and activation behavior of inflammatory cells after longer periods (2 h) of exposure on different surfaces.

Human serum albumin and fibrinogen interactions with an adsorbed RGD-containing peptide.

The modification of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid cell adhesion peptide, RGD peptide (PepTite Adhesive Coating; Telios Pharmaceuticals, San Diego, CA) has been previously investigated. Initial animal studies showed this RGD peptide to accelerate healing and assist in the formation of an endothelial cell lining of the lumenal side of PET and PTFE fabrics in a cardiovascular application. It is of interest to determine how this RGD peptide is able to influence cellular events through intervening layers of plasma proteins that spontaneously adsorb upon implantation. This study examined the interaction of predeposited RGD-containing peptide with human serum albumin (HSA) or fibrinogen that was characterized using multiple attenuated internal reflection infrared (MAIR-IR) spectroscopy, ellipsometry, and contact angle analysis. It was determined that fibrinogen-containing films consistently exhibited more mass than films of the RGD peptide, HSA, or HSA adsorbed onto RGD peptide-containing films. MAIR-IR spectra of RGD peptide films before and after HSA adsorption were similar in absorption and intensity; however, ellipsometry indicated HSA introduction had created thicker, less dense films. Fibrinogen, on the other hand, when adsorbed onto RGD peptide films provided increased relative mass in a more compact arrangement. Contact angle analyses of each of the dried films showed their surface energies to remain high, but the polar components of RGD peptide films were reduced after either serum protein adsorption. These phenomena may be related to the minimal thrombus accumulation that was noted during the initial animal studies, that promoted subsequent healing.
