Four new sulfonate metabolites of andrographolide, 14-deoxy-12(R)-sulfo andrographolide (Metabolite 1), 14-deoxy-12(S)-sulfo andrographolide (Metabolite 2), 14-deoxy-12(R)-sulfo-9(S)-andrographolide (Metabolite 3) and 14-sulfo isoandrographolide (Metabolite 4), were isolated from urine and feces in rats. Their structures were elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic analyses. These four metabolites were formed through a rare metabolic reaction and were all new compounds.     

Rate of Convergence in Homogenization of Parabolic PDEs

We consider the solutions to /tu ⁽ⁿ⁾=a ⁽ⁿ⁾(x)u ⁽ⁿ⁾ where {a ⁽ⁿ⁾(x)} _n=1,2,... are random fields satisfying a well-mixing condition (which is different to the usual strong mixing condition). In this paper we estimate the rate of convergence of u ⁽ⁿ⁾ to the solution of a heat equation. Since our equation is of simple form, we get quite strong result which covers the previous homogenization results obtained on this equation.     

Strength characteristics of the self-sustained wave in grooved channels with different groove length

The self-sustained oscillations arising in a series of grooved channels are investigated experimentally. Pressure drop, time-averaged and time-various local pressure in the grooved channels with six kinds of groove length are measured with the differential transducer and the pressure sensor, respectively, and the flow structures are visualized using the aluminum dust method. The local pressure signal shows that the self-sustained wave appears in the first or second frequency, and the Strouhal number, based on the nature frequency of the self-sustained wave, is almost equivalent for the first or second frequency in the same channel. Meanwhile, the Strouhal number for each channel decreases monotonously with the groove length. Furthermore, it is found that increasing pressure will result in higher amplitude of the self-sustained wave, this behavior is significant for the efficient heat transfer in practical engineering.     

A Small-Molecule Diketopyrrolopyrrole-Based Dye for in vivo NIR-IIa Fluorescence Bioimaging

Organic small-molecule fluorophores with near-infrared IIa (NIR-IIa) emission have great potential in pre-clinical detection and inoperative imaging due to the high-spatial resolution and deep penetration. However, developments of the NIR-IIa fluorophores are still facing considerable challenges. In this work, a series of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based fluorophores were designed and synthesized. Subsequently, nanomaterial T25@F127 with significant NIR-IIa emission properties was rationally prepared by encapsulating DPP-based fluorophore T25 , and was selected for fluorescence angiography and cerebral vascular microscopic imaging with nearly 800 μm penetrating depth and excellent signal-background ratio of 4.07 and 2.26 (at 250 and 400 μm), respectively. Furthermore, the nanomaterial T25@cRGD with tumor targeting ability can image tiny metastatic tumor on intestine with a small size of 0.3 mm×1.0 mm and high-spatial resolution (SBR=3.84). This study demonstrates that the nanomaterials which encapsulated T25 behave as excellent NIR-IIa fluorescence imaging agents and have a great potential for in vivo biological application.

A novel approach to determine the molecular overlap of polyelectrolyte using an ultrafiltration membrane

The overlapping of charged polymers (e.g., polyelectrolyte) in the liquid phase is one of the key parameters affecting the processing of the macromolecular solutions. This work focused on the development of a novel method for determining the overlap concentration of polyelectrolytes with stirred cell ultrafiltration (UF) techniques. A new, simplified equation that incorporated the resistance-in-series UF model into the osmosis phenomenon caused by polymers was developed, and then applied to estimate the threshold concentration for macromolecular overlap. The overlap concentrations of model polymers, such as poly(dimethylamine-co-epichlorohydrin-co-ethylenediamine) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), were evaluated with different, initial polymer concentrations and membrane pore sizes. In the correlation between ln R_t/C_r and ln C_r, the concentration where ln R_t/C_r had the minimal value was referred to as the overlap concentration. The gyration radius of polyelectrolytes was calculated using the overlap concentration, which can provide insight into the understanding of the size of polymers and their rejections by membranes. Determining the overlap concentration of polymers with a UF membrane appeared to be viable and practical.     

Viscosity effect on the CIDEP of laser photolysis of duroquinone in hydrogen-donor solvents

Chemically induced dynamic electron polarization (CIDEP) is one of the important research fields of dynamic spin chemistry. In the present work, with ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanol and their mixtures with different ratios in volume as solvents and duroquinone as photosensitive molecule, the influence of solvent viscosity on the CIDEP of photolyzed duroquinone radicals has been studied experimentally. In each solvent, duroquinone neutral radicals are observed. Duroquinone neutral radicals are generated through hydrogen transfer reaction from hydrogen-donor solvent molecules to excited duroquinone triplet. The CIDEP mechanism is mainly triplet mechanism. The CIDEP intensity of duroquinone neutral radicals decreases with the increase in the solvent viscosity, and the variation was rapid in low-viscosity range and slow in high-viscosity range.
