A nano-gene vector PEI-P123-R13 was synthesized by cross-linking low molecular weight PEI with P123 and further coupling bifunctional peptide R13 to the polymer for targeting tumor and increasing cellular uptake. The binding assessment of R13 toαvβ3 positive cells was performed by HRP labeling. The internalization pathways of P123-PEI-R13/DNA complexes were investigated based on the effect of specific endocytic inhibitors on transfection efficiency. The mechanism of intracellular trafficking was investigated based on the effect of endosome-lysosome acidification inhibitors, cytoskeleton, and dynein inhibitors on transfection efficiency. The results indicated that the bifunctional peptide R13 had the ability of binding toαvβ3 positive cellsin vitro. The modification of P123-PEI-R13 with R13 made it display new property of internalization. P123-PEI-R13/DNA complexes were conducted simultaneously via clathrin-mediated endocytosis, caveolin-mediated endocytosis, macropinocytosis, and possible energy-independent route. After internalization, P123-PEI-R13/DNA complexes could escape from the endosome-lysosome system because of its acidification and further took microtubule as the track and dynein as the dynamic source to be transported toward the microtubule (+) end, to wit nucleus, under the action of microfilament, and with the aid of intermediate filament.

The earliest account of the contamination of electron microscope specimens by the deposition of carbonaceous material during electron irradiation was published in 1947 by Watson who was then working in Canada. It was soon established that this carbonaceous material is formed from organic vapours, and it is now recognized that the principal source is the oil-sealed rotary pumps which provide the backing vacuum. It has been shown that the organic vapours consist of low molecular weight fragments of oil molecules which have been degraded at hot spots produced by friction between the vanes and the surfaces on which they slide. As satisfactory oil-free pumps are unavailable, it is standard electron microscope practice to reduce the partial pressure of organic vapours in the microscope in the vicinity of the specimen by using liquid-nitrogen cooled anti-contamination devices. Traps of this type are sufficient to reduce the contamination rate to about 0.1 Å per min, which is tolerable for many investigations.
