To investigate the biological properties of cryopreserved dendritic cell (DC) derived from K562 cell line, thus to provide a simple, quick and efficient preservative method of DC for infusion of DC to patients with leukemia after complete remission, fresh DC induced from K562 cell line (K562-DC) was frozen in -196 degrees C liquid nitrogen and -80 degrees C mechanical freezer by method of steps (RPMI 1640 with 10% DMSO, 20% FCS as cryopreservatives), and thawed in different time, respectively. Survivals of cryopreserved and fresh K562-DC, expression of surface antigens, stimulating index (SI) and cytotoxic eliminating rate were detected. The results of fresh induced cells were compared with that of cryopreserved ones. The results showed that before and after frozen in liquid nitrogen, the morphological characteristics of K562-DC had no distinct change; and both their expression rates of surface molecular and capacity to stimulate allogeneic lymphocyte had no statistic significance (P > 0.05). In addition, there were no differences in terms of viability, stimulatory capacity and cytotoxicity of K562-DC from two ways for less than one month (P > 0.05), but there were differences when frozen for more than one month (P < 0.05). It is concluded that there is no significant difference when frozen less than one month between liquid nitrogen and -80 degrees C freezer; but when time is more than one month, K562-DC frozen in -196 degrees C liquid nitrogen is better than that in -80 degrees C freezer.

Thirteen imidazolium iodides bearing benzyl, mesityl, or 2,6-diiso-propyl-phenyl substituents on their nitrogen atoms, and C1 to C4 alkyl chains on their C2 carbon atom were readily deuterated with D2O as a cheap and non-toxic deuterium source in the presence of Cs2CO3, a weak, innocuous, inorganic base. The isotopic exchange proceeded quickly and efficiently under mild, aerobic conditions to afford a range of aNHC and NHO precursors regioselectively labeled on their C2α exocyclic position and/or C4=C5 heterocyclic backbone. A "carbene-free" mechanism was postulated, in which the carbonate anion acts as a catalyst to activate an exocyclic, acidic C-H bond and ease a deuterium transfer from D2O to the imidazolium salt in a concerted fashion.

Liquid fertilizers, particularly when integrated with precision irrigation systems, offer a more efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional solid nitrogen fertilizers. The industrial production of ammonium nitrate (NHNO) is environmentally detrimental due to its reliance on fossil fuels. This study introduces an innovative air-to-NOx-to-NHNO pathway for synthesizing liquid nitrogen fertilizer.

Microbial loss significantly affects wastewater treatment efficiency. This study simulated the inoculation area of a self-developed biological doubling reactor (BDR) to evaluate the retention efficiency of seven different fillers for aerobic denitrifying bacteria. Over 90 days of continuous operation, the porous filler R3 demonstrated excellent performance, with OD values consistently exceeding 1.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between hypoxanthine (Hx) levels and freshness indicators in three kinds of fish samples during storage for 7 days at 4 °C to determine the Hx levels indicating freshness. The total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) was tested using the semi-micro Kjeldahl method, and Hx level and K value were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). During storage, Hx levels, TVBN, and K values increased, and distinct patterns were observed between Hx and TVBN in three fish samples.
