On-chip erythrocyte deformability test under optical pressure

This paper presents a novel method for an on-chip erythrocyte deformability test under optical pressure, especially to enhance the level of sensitivity with respect to the detection of cancerous diseases. To demonstrate the performance and sensitivity of the combined method, we introduce the concept of transit velocity, a modified elongation index, and shape recovery time of individual erythrocytes in a strictly confined region (2 microm deep, 4 microm wide, and 100 microm long). Finally, we investigate a synergy or convergence effect due to the combination of these parameters for in situ detection of cancerous diseases under optical pressure.     

Dianthiamides A–E,Proline-Containing Orbitides from Dianthus chinensis

Orbitides are plant-derived small cyclic peptides with a wide range of biological activities. Phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Dianthus chinensis was performed with the aim to discover new bioactive orbitides. Five undescribed proline-containing orbitides, dianthiamides A–E (1–5), were isolated from a methanolic extract of Dianthus chinensis. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of 1D and 2D NMR and HRESI–TOF–MS as well as ESI–MS/MS fragmentation data. The absolute configuration of the amino acid residues of compounds 1–5 was determined by Marfey’s method. All compounds were tested for their cytotoxic activity, and dianthiamide A (1) exhibited weak activity against A549 cell line with IC₅₀ value of 47.9 μM.

Supramolecular Network Based on the Self‐Assembly of γ‐Cyclodextrin with Poly(ethylene glycol) and its Shape Memory Effect

A novel supramolecular network has been prepared based on the formation of inclusion complexes between γ‐cyclodextrin and poly(ethylene glycol), in which the PEG chains are interlocked by γ‐CD rings. This PEG/γ‐CD network exhibits good shape memory behavior because of the crosslinked structure. The crosslinked PEG/γ‐CD inclusion complexes and PEG crystallites account for the fixing phase and reversible phase, respectively. The characteristics of the materials have been investigated by ¹H NMR spectroscopy, XRD, DSC, DMA, viscosity tests, and swelling measurements.

Interdiffusion of Al-Ni system enhanced by ultrasonic vibration at ambient temperature

At ambient temperature, Al–1%Si wire of 25 μm diameter was bonded successfully onto the Au/Ni/Cu pad by ultrasonic wedge bonding technology. Physical process of the bond formation and the interface joining essence were investigated. It is found that the wire was softened by ultrasonic vibration, at the same time, pressure was loaded on the wire and plastic flow was generated in the bonding wire, which promoted the diffusion for Ni into Al. Ultrasonic vibration enhanced the interdiffusion that resulted from the inner defects such as dislocations, vacancies, voids and so on, which ascribed to short circuit diffusion.     

Tuning quadratic nonlinear photonic crystal fibers for zero group-velocity mismatch

We consider an index-guiding silica photonic crystal fiber with a triangular hole pattern and a periodically poled quadratic nonlinearity. By tuning the pitch and the relative hole size, second-harmonic generation with zero group-velocity mismatch is found for any fundamental wavelength above 780 nm. The nonlinear strength is optimized when the fundamental has maximum confinement in the core. The conversion bandwidth allows for femtosecond-pulse conversion, and 4%-180%W(-1)cm(-2) relative efficiencies were found.

A practical and green approach towards synthesis of multisubstituted imidazoles using boric acid as efficient catalyst

An efficient one-pot, cyclocondensation of ammonium acetate, 1,2-diphenyl ethanedione, aromatic aldehyde or arylamine, and catalyzed by boric acid is achieved to form multisubstituted imidazole derivatives. Boric acid as green property is harmless to the environment and has improved the yield of multisubstituted imidazole derivatives. Moreover, we have tested the biological activities of imidazole derivatives by the four fungi. And the investigations showed most of imidazole derivatives have antifungal action on four fungus.
