    A novel bifunctional glycolipid which carried a cluster of thiogalactosides as the bepatocyte targeting ligand for gene delivery was prepared.Hexa-antennary alcohol 1 was used as the core scaffold to attach a cholesterol molecule by a poly (ethylene glycol) chain, while its remaining branches were linked with five acetylgalactosides, which would be deacetylated later to produce pentaantennary galaetoside.Liposome containing the galactoside showed high affinity and transfection activity in hepatoma cells HepG2.

    A visible rectification effect on the current-voltage curves of metal/porous silicon/p-silicon has been observed by currentsensing atomic force microscopy.The current-voltage curves of porous silicon membranes with different porosities, prepared through variation of etching current density for a constant time, indicate that a higher porosity results in a higher resistance and thus a lower rectification, until the current reaches a threshold at a porosity > 55%.We propose that the conductance mode in the porous silicon membrane with porosities > 55% is mainly a hopping mechanism between nano-crystallites and an inverse static electric field between the porous silicon and p-Si interface blocks the electron injection from porous silicon to p-Si, but with porosities ≤ 55%, electron flows through a direct continuous channel between nano-crystallites.

    A new strategy using an amperometric biosensor with Escherichia coli(E.coli) that provides a rapid toxicity determination of chemical compounds is described.The CellSense biosensor system comprises a biological component immobilized in intimate contact with a transducer which converts the biochemical signal into a quantifiable electrical signal.Toxicity assessment of heavy metals using E.coli biosensors could be finished within 30 min and the 50% effective concentrations (EC50) values of four heavy metals were determined.The results shows that inhibitory effects of four heavy metals to E.coli can be ranked in a decreasing order of Hg2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Ni2+, which accords to the results of conventional bacterial counting method.The toxicity test of organic compounds by using CellSense biosensor was also demonstrated.The CellSense biosensor with E.coli shows a good, reproducible behavior and can be used for reproducible measurements.

    Critical temperatures and pressures of nominal reacting mixture in synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from methanol and carbon dioxide (quaternary mixture of carbon dioxide+methanol+water+DMC) were measured using a high-pressure view cell.The results suggested that the critical properties of the reacting mixture depended on the reaction extent as well as its initial composition (initial ratio of carbon dioxide to methanol).Such information is essential for determining the reaction conditions when one intends to carry out the synthesis of DMC with CO2 and methanol under supercritical conditions.
