One hundred and twenty-two cases of midline malignant reticulosis (MMR) were studied. A series of antibodies including anti-LCA, UCHL-1, L26, CD45R, and anti-lysozyme were used on paraffin sections by ABC and PAP methods. The results were as follows: 112 cases exhibiting T-cell origin, 4 cases showing B-cell origin, and 6 cases being of uncertain lineage. This result is in accordance with the point of view that most of MMR are T cell lymphoma. Two histological types were classified: sarcomatoid type and granulomatoid type. By using image analyzer, the sarcomatoid type was subdivided into small, medium and large cell types. Sixty-two cases with follow-up data were collected for clinicopathologic analysis. One-year and five-year survival rates in cases with different histologic types were compared and statistically analysed. The results showed that the prognosis was closely related to the histological type.

Two horses with Rhodococcus equi infection were examined post mortem by an immunohistochemical method (peroxidase-antiperoxidase; PAP) with a monoclonal antibody (Mab 10G5) to the 15-17 kDa antigen of R. equi. One of the horses was also examined bacteriologically, R. equi being isolated in culture. Immunolabelling with this Mab was marked and widespread. On the other hand, the immunohistochemical reactivity of infected macrophages with a polyclonal antibody specific for lysozyme was slight. Thus, Mab 10G5 would appear to be a useful diagnostic reagent in R. equi infection, with or without cultural confirmation.

This report described proteins modification of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic chip based on layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly technique for enhancing separation efficiency. Two kinds of protein-coated films were prepared. One was obtained by successively immobilizing the cationic polyelectrolyte (chitosan, Chit), gold nanoparticles (GNPs), and protein (albumin, Albu) to the PDMS microfluidic channels surface. The other was achieved by sequentially coating lysozyme (Lys) and Albu. Neurotransmitters (dopamine, DA; epinephrine, EP) and environmental pollutants (p-phenylenediamine, p-PDA; 4-aminophenol, 4-AP; hydroquinone, HQ) as two groups of separation models were studied to evaluate the effect of the functional PDMS microfluidic chips. The results clearly showed these analytes were efficiently separated within 140 s in a 3.7 cm long separation channel and successfully detected with in-channel amperometric detection mode. Experimental parameters in two protocols were optimized in detail. The detection limits of DA, EP, p-PDA, 4-AP, and HQ were 2.0, 4.7, 8.1, 12.3, and 14.8 microM (S/N=3) on the Chit-GNPs-Albu coated PDMS/PDMS microchip, and 1.2, 2.7, 7.2, 9.8, and 12.2 microM (S/N=3) on the Lys-Albu coated one, respectively. In addition, through modification, the more homogenous channel surface displayed higher reproducibility and better stability.

Bio-nanomaterials fabricated using a bioinspired templating technique represent a novel class of composite materials with diverse applications in biomedical, electronic devices, drug delivery, and catalysis. In this study, Au nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized within the solvent channels of cross-linked lysozyme crystals (CLLCs) in situ without the introduction of extra chemical reagents or physical treatments. The as-prepared AuNPs-in-protein crystal hybrid materials are characterized by light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. Small AuNPs with narrow size distribution reveal the restriction effects of the porous structure in the lysozyme crystals. These composite materials are proven to be active heterogeneous catalysts for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. These catalysts can be easily recovered and reused at least 20 times because of the physical stability and macro-dimension of CLLCs. This work is the first to use CLLCs as a solid biotemplate for the preparation of recyclable high-performance catalysts.

Bionanomaterials synthesized by bioinspired templating methods have emerged as a novel class of composite materials with varied applications in catalysis, detection, drug delivery, and biomedicine. In this study, two kinds of cross-linked lysozyme crystals (CLLCs) with different sizes were applied for the in situ growth of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). The resulting composite materials were characterized by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The catalytic properties of the prepared materials were examined in the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP). It was found that the size of the AuNPs increased with an increase in Au loading for both small and large crystals. In addition, small crystals favored homogeneous adsorption and distribution of the metal precursors. And the size of the AuNPs within small crystals could be maintained below 2.5 nm by managing the HAuCl4/lysozyme molar ratio. Furthermore, the lysozyme functional groups blocked the AuNP activity sites, therefore reducing their catalytic activity. This effect was more pronounced for small AuNPs. Moreover, the mass transfer of reactants (4-NP) from solution to AuNPs within the crystals restricted their catalytic reduction, leading to superior catalytic performance of the AuNPs within small cross-linked lysozyme crystals (Au@S-CLLCs) compared to those within large cross-linked lysozyme crystals (Au@L-CLLCs) at similar Au loadings. Finally, an increase in Au loading clogged the crystal channels with increased quantities of larger AuNPs, thus impeding the catalytic performance of Au@S-CLLCs.
