The pore character of packings for liquid chromatography, especially reversed-phase (RPLC) packings, has been studied by means of the nitrogen adsorption method (BET method). Micro-spherical silica gels with 9, 12, 30, 40 and 50 nm average pore diameter have been used as carriers. These silica gels have been modified with monochlorodimethyloctadecylsilane and several polymers (polyoctadecylmethacrylate-methylmethacrylate co-polymer, polyacrylamide gel, polyvinyl alcohol, poly-2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate). A larger decrease in the specific surface area values was observed in the case of the polymer coating with the polyoctadecylmethacrylate-methylmethacrylate co-polymer compared with the derivatization by silanes or the modification with polymers without C18-groups. A new approach has been suggested to explain some questions concerning the interpretation of the data obtained during the measurements of the pore characteristics of the derivatized packings. An attempt has been made to reveal peculiarities connecting values of the measured surface of RP-packings with the specific surface area values of the initial silica, as well as with the chromatographically accessible surface.

This study investigates the pollen morphology of 13 taxa of Turkish Gentiana using a statistical approach, contributing to their taxonomy. The aim is to elucidate the palynological characteristics of the taxa and to reveal their contributions to the systematic understanding of the genus Gentiana. The pollen grains are monad, radially symmetrical, isopolar, and tricolporate.

Background: Therefore, the objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent (CR-hvKp) in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, identify their genetic characters, characterize their resistance profiles, and identify risk factors for their infection to improve prevention and treatment strategies for CR-hvKp in the area.
Methods: Between January 2021 and January 2022, clinically identified carbapenem-resistant (CRKp) isolates were collected. A PCR assay was used to detect the K capsule type, virulence genes, carbapenemase genes, and membrane pore protein.

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions (EMT) and unjamming transitions provide two distinct pathways for cancer cells to become invasive, but it is still unclear to what extent these pathways are connected. Here, we addressed this question by performing 3D spheroid invasion assays on epithelial-like (A549) and mesenchymal-like (MV3) cancer cell lines in collagen-based hydrogels, where we varied both the invasive character of the cells and matrix porosity. We found that the onset time of invasion was correlated with the matrix porosity and vimentin levels, while the spheroid expansion rate correlated with MMP1 levels.

Filling the microchannel with negatively charged hydrogel can exhibit microsacle ion current rectification (ICR) behavior, which is attributed to the space negative charge and structural asymmetry of hydrogel. In this study, this character had been applied to develop a trypsin sensor for the first time. A hydrogel synthesized with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and glyoxal (BSAG hydrogel) was filled at the tip of microchannel firstly.
