The present conducted research focused on elastomeric materials containing reinforcing modified keratin fibers in their composition. The applied keratin was modified by solvolysis reaction to obtain the product in the form of a hydrolysate. Then, the hydrolysate was modified by the addition reaction of keratin adduct with a plasticizer—technical stearin is commonly used in processing elastomers. The keratin hydrolysate adducts were used in a different weight proportion in the composites in which the carrier was isoprene rubber (IR; Cariflex 305). The obtained composites (rubber Cariflex composites (RC)) were subjected to a series of tests aimed at understanding the structure and interactions between biopolymers and other components of elastomeric mixtures. Mechanical properties, including hardness, the cross-linking density, and thermo-oxidative aging were investigated. Microbiological tests were carried out, which in turn allowed to determine the effect of introduced keratin in a modified hybrid form, to the elastomeric matrix. The test results indicate a significant improvement of some properties, especially when using 10 parts by weight of keratin adducts introduced into 100 parts by weight of IR rubber.

Two new kinds of modified isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR) oil absorbers were successfully prepared via freeze-thaw method. In order to further improve IIR oil-sorbents performance, graphite and nanosilica were chosen as modifiers. The cryogels were prepared cross-linking of IIR containing modifier in benzene at-5 °C, using sulfur monochloride as crosslinker. The modified IIR structures were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and contact angle analysis (CA). The results show that graphite-modified IIR exhibit much higher uptake capacity than silica-modified. The sorption capacity of the best graphite-modified sample reaches 19.68 g.g-1for crude oil, 19.98 g.g-1for diesel and 19.50 g.g-1for lubricating oil, respectively. The adsorbed liquids can be removed by centrifuging and the recovered materials could also be used more than 30 cycles. This study demonstrated graphite-modified IIR are more excellent and recommendable materials for oil removal.

Calcium ions in the concentration range 5-100 mM inhibit auxin-induced cell elongation and wall extensibility of plant stems. Inhibition of wall extensibility requires that the tissue be living; growth inhibition cannot be explained on the basis of cross-linking of carboxyl groups of cell wall uronides by calcium ions. In this study, ultrastructural evidence was sought for an interaction of calcium ions with some component other than the wall at the cell surface of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) hypocotyls.

Those samples which swell rapidly when exposed to water are, at best, difficult to section for transmission electron microscopy. Some materials literally burst out of the embedding block with the first pass by the knife, and even the most rapid cutting cycle produces sections of limited value. Many ion exchange resins swell in water; some undergo irreversible structural changes when dried. We developed our embedding procedure to handle this type of sample, but it should be applicable to many materials that present similar sectioning difficulties.The purpose of our embedding procedure is to build up a cross-linking network throughout the sample, while it is in a water swollen state. Our procedure was suggested to us by the work of Rosenberg, where he mentioned the formation of a tridimensional structure by the polymerization of the GMA biproduct, triglycol dimethacrylate.

With information processing devices such as radio telescopes, microscopes or hi-fi systems, the quality of the output often is limited by distortion or noise introduced at the input stage of the device. This analogy can be extended usefully to specimen preparation for the electron microscope; fixation, which initiates the processing sequence, is the single most important step and, unfortunately, is the least well understood. Although there is an abundance of fixation mixtures recommended in the light microscopy literature, osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde are favored for electron microscopy. These fixatives react vigorously with proteins at the molecular level. There is clear evidence for the cross-linking of proteins both by osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde and cross-linking may be a necessary if not sufficient condition to define fixatives as a class.

Cisplatin (CDDP) a potent antitumor agent suffers from severe toxic side effects with nephrotoxicity being the major dose-limiting factor, The primary mechanism of its action has been proposed to be through its cross-linking DNA strands. It has also been shown to inactivate various transport enzymes and induce hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia that may be the underlying cause for some of its toxicities. The present is an effort to study its influence on the parathyroid gland for any hormonal changes that control calcium levels in the body.Male Swiss Wistar rats (Crl: (WI) BR) weighing 200-300 g and of 60 days in age were injected (ip) with cisplatin (7mg/kg in normal saline). The controls received saline injections only. The animals were injected (iv) with calcium (0.5 ml of 10% calcium gluconate/day) and were killed by decapitation on day 1 through 5. Trunk blood was collected in heparinized tubes.

Two new types of covalently linked, site-specific immunoprobes have been prepared using metal cluster labels, and used to stain components of cells. Combined fluorescein and 1.4 nm “Nanogold” labels were prepared by using the fluorescein-conjugated tris (aryl) phosphine ligand and the amino-substituted ligand in the synthesis of the Nanogold cluster. This cluster label was activated by reaction with a 60-fold excess of (sulfo-Succinimidyl-4-N-maleiniido-cyclohexane-l-carboxylate (sulfo-SMCC) at pH 7.5, separated from excess cross-linking reagent by gel filtration, and mixed in ten-fold excess with Goat Fab’ fragments against mouse IgG (obtained by reduction of F(ab’)2 fragments with 50 mM mercaptoethylamine hydrochloride). Labeled Fab’ fragments were isolated by gel filtration HPLC (Superose-12, Pharmacia). A combined Nanogold and Texas Red label was also prepared, using a Nanogold cluster derivatized with both and its protected analog: the cluster was reacted with an eight-fold excess of Texas Red sulfonyl chloride at pH 9.0, separated from excess Texas Red by gel filtration, then deprotected with HC1 in methanol to yield the amino-substituted label.
