相变温度低且宽的含有胆甾烯基和反式-4-烷基环己基苯氧基的二介晶化合物

Unsymmetrical dimesogenic compounds with cholesteryl and 4-（trans-4-n-alkylcyclohexyl）phenoxy parts were synthesized by condensation of cholester-3-yl 6-bromohexanoate with appropriate 4-（trans-4-n-alkylcyclohexyl）- phenols. Structures and thermal phase behaviour of these dimesogenic compounds have been confirmed by IR, IH NMR, elemental analysis, DSC, polarity microscopy and XRD measurements. Their thermal phase behaviour was significantly different with that of other cholesterol-based dimesogens while they exhibited low and wide phase transition temperature.     

INAA determination of major and trace elements in loess,paleosol and precipitation layers in a pleistocene Loess Section,China

Instrumental neutron activation analysis was used for the determination of 31 major and trace elements in 32 samples from the Xinji Loess Section, Shaanxi Province, China. Interferences, including those from uranium fission products, were evaluated and corrections applied where necessary. The 39.7-meter deep section comprises of Lishi Loess of the middle Pleistocene (Q₂) and Malan Loess of the late Pleistocene (Q₃). The section is characterized by the presence of 5 layers of paleosol, and each paleosol is underlain by a precipitation layer. When the elemental abundances are converted to a carbonate-free basis, there is little compositional difference among the carbonate-free fractions of loess, paleosol and precipitation layers. This indicates that dissolution of carbonate minerals by downward-moving surface water was an important process in paleosol formation while other minerals were not severely weathered and elemental fractionation was minimal. The parent materials of the paleosol and precipitation layers closely resemble the loess layers in their elemental abundances, which suggests that all layers in the section have a compositionally similar source.     

Binding of wogonin to human serum albumin: a common binding site of wogonin in subdomain IIA

The binding of wogonin to human serum albumin (HSA) has been studied by spectroscopic method including circular dichroism (CD), infrared spectra (IR) and fluorescence spectra. The fluorescence properties of HSA were examined in presence of wogonin and the fluorescence intensity of HSA was significantly decreased in the presence of wogonin. The binding parameters of wogonin were studied from the fluorescence decreasing of HSA by the fluoremetric titrations. The Stern-Volmer plots indicated that the binding of wogonin to HSA at 296, 303, 310 K is characterized by one binding site with the binding constant K(S-V) at 1.872 x 10(5), 1.561 x 10(5), 1.392 x 10(5), respectively, which are good agreement with the results from the Scatchard plots. The binding process was exothermic, enthalpy driven and spontaneous, as indicated by the thermodynamic analyses, and the major part of the binding energy is hydrophobic interaction, which were consistent with the result of molecule modelling study, and there are also a numbers of hydrogen bonds between wogonin and HSA. Furthermore, the displacement experiments indicate that wogonin can bind to the subdomain IIA, that is, the site I of HSA, which is also good agreement with the result of molecule modelling study.     

Carbopalladation of nitriles: synthesis of 2,3-diarylindenones and polycyclic aromatic ketones by the Pd-catalyzed annulation of alkynes and bicyclic alkenes by 2-iodoarenenitriles

2-iodobenzonitrile, its derivatives, and various heterocyclic analogues undergo palladium(0)-catalyzed annulation onto diarylacetylenes or bicyclic alkenes to afford 2,3-diarylindenones and polycyclic aromatic ketones in very good to excellent yields. This reaction represents one of the first examples of the addition of an organopalladium moiety to the carbon-nitrogen triple bond of a nitrile. The reaction is compatible with a number of functional groups. A reaction mechanism, as well as a model accounting for the electronic effects of substituents on the aromatic ring of the nitrile, is proposed.     

Multifunctional peptide-assembled micelles for simultaneously reducing amyloid-β and reactive oxygen species

The excessive production and deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) is one of the most important etiologies of Alzheimer''s disease (AD). The interaction between Aβ and metal ions produces aberrant reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induce oxidative stress and accelerate the progression of AD. To reduce Aβ plaques and ROS to maintain their homeostasis is an emerging and ingenious strategy for effective treatment of AD. Herein, we report the rational design of multifunctional micelles (MPGLT) based on a polymer-grafted peptide to simultaneously clear Aβ and ROS for AD therapy. The MPGLT integrating three functional peptides as a ROS scavenger (tk-GSH), β-sheet breaker (LP) and an autophagy activator (TK) respectively, could capture and degrade Aβ. Meanwhile, the tk-GSH on the surface of MPGLT effectively scavenges the intracellular ROS. Consequently, MPGLT reduced the cytotoxicity of Aβ and ROS. In vivo animal studies using an AD mouse model further showed that MPGLT could transport across the blood–brain barrier for decreasing the Aβ plaque and eliminating ROS in vivo. This peptide micelle-based synergistic strategy may provide novel insight for AD therapy.

Utilization of a spiropyran derivative in a polymeric film optode for selective fluorescent sensing of zinc ion

Spiropyrans are the most studied families of func- tional materials due to their reversible structural con- version in response to external optical, chemical, and thermal stimulation[1]. Irradiation with ultraviolet light causes formation of an extended π-conjugation open form (merocyanine form) by heterolytic cleavage of the C (spiro)-O bond, which generates an intense ab- sorption in the visible region. Under the irradiating of visible light, the opened form will come back to the closed spi…

The phase diagram of KNO3-KClO3

The binary phase diagram of KNO₃-KClO₃ is studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and high-temperature X-ray diffraction. The limited solid solutions, K(NO₃)_1−x(ClO₃)_x (0<x<0.20) and K(NO₃)_1−x(ClO₃)_x (0.90<x<1.0), were formed in the KNO₃-based solid solutions and KClO₃-based solid solutions phase, respectively. For KNO₃-based solid solutions, KNO₃ ferroelectric phase can be stable from 423 to 223 K as a result of substituting of NO₃ by ClO₃-radicals. The temperatures for solidus and liquidus have been determined based on limited solid solutions. Two models, Henrian solution and regular solution theory for KNO₃-based (α) phase and KClO₃-based (β) phase, respectively, are employed to reproduce solidus and liquidus of the phase diagram. The results are in good agreement with the DSC data. The thermodynamic properties for α and β solid solutions have been derived from an optimization procedure using the experimental data. The calculated phase diagram and optimized thermodynamic parameters are thermodynamically self-consistent.
