15 results about "Aquaporin" patented technology

Aquaporins, also called water channels, are integral membrane proteins from a larger family of major intrinsic proteins that form pores in the membrane of biological cells, mainly facilitating transport of water between cells. The cell membranes of a variety of different bacteria, fungi, animal and plant cells contain aquaporins through which water can flow more rapidly into and out of the cell than by diffusing through the phospholipid bilayer. Aquaporin has six membrane-spanning alpha helical domains with both carboxylic and amino terminals on the cytoplasmic side. Two hydrophobic loops contain conserved asparagine-proline-alanine NPA motif. Because aquaporin is usually always open and is prevalent in just about every cell type, it causes water to almost always flow to down its concentration gradient. This leads to a misconception that water readily passes through the cell membrane down its concentration gradient. This is not true because only non-polar substances can diffuse directly through the lipid bilayer.

A two-compartment modeling and prediction method for sodium kinetics during hemodialysis

The application discloses a two-compartment modeling and prediction method for sodium kinetics in hemodialysis. The method divides the patient's body fluid into two compartments of extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid, and establishes a coupled differential equation set to describe the sodium transfer kinetics in the dialysis process. The application corrects the physical error of the existing model in the dispersion equilibrium concentration formula, proposes C_eq=[Na]d / σ (σ=0.97 is the Gibbs-Donnan factor) to replace the traditional Donnan formula and the old recommended formula, eliminates the false dispersion gradient under the condition of isonatric dialysis based on the physical fact that electrolytes are only distributed in the plasma water phase, and removes the error solvent drag term by clearly defining the biophysical constraints of the cell membrane aquaporin not transporting sodium. The application adopts a perturbation reference model to replace the traditional Fick diffusion law to describe the cell membrane sodium exchange, and more accurately reflects the intracellular and extracellular sodium kinetics. The model can accurately predict the serum sodium change and sodium removal under different dialysis prescriptions, and can generate a sodium removal contour map for clinical prescription optimization.

A method for adsorbing functionalization of nanofiltration membrane based on in-situ polymerization of aquaporin and application thereof

PendingCN122273323APolyesterPolymer science
This invention relates to a method for functionalizing nanofiltration membranes based on in-situ polymerization of hydroxylamine and its application. To address the problems of low separation efficiency and mutual constraints between permeability and retention capacity in existing nanofiltration membranes, this invention selects hydroxylamine as the monomer for the adsorption layer, constructing an adsorption functional layer on the surface of a traditional polyamide nanofiltration membrane. In-situ polyesterification crosslinking during the traditional interfacial polymerization process effectively simplifies the material preparation process. Benefiting from the abundant hydroxyl groups on the hydroxylamine surface, the functional membrane exhibits high hydrophilicity and permeability. The secondary polymerization process optimizes the internal network structure of the polyesteramide, reduces the pore size, and improves the separation capacity of the nanofiltration membrane. Under the coupling effect of adsorption and separation, the functional membrane demonstrates good treatment effects for novel pollutants such as bisphenol A and levofloxacin.
