Gas Chromatographic Method for Routine Determination of Oleanolic and Ursolic Acids in Medicinal Plants

Summary A rapid and simple gas chromatographic method has been established for routine analysis of free oleanolic and ursolic acids in dried samples of medicinal herbs. Soxhlet extraction of triterpenes was followed by solid-phase extraction (SPE). Amounts of the compounds were measured by gas chromatography after silylation of the purified samples. Experiments were performed to establish the optimum conditions (e.g. solvent, and mode and duration of extraction) for calibration curve linearity, sensitivity, reproducibility, and recovery. The conditions used for derivatization and gas chromatographic analysis resulted in an improvement on literature data. The method devised enables accurate routine measurement of many samples in quite a short time (e.g. for chemotaxonomical screening, or quality control of herbal drugs). The practical application of the method was illustrated on five Lamiaceae species.

钢筋混凝土旧工业厂房结构加固方案优选

当前人们选择旧工业厂房结构加固方案效率低下,且所考虑的因素较为片面,为了全面、高效地解决这一问题,通过综合考虑安全性、经济性、时间性、可行性和适用性等因素,以加固效果显著的工程案例为标准,以全面的18个参数为评价指标,构建了一种基于蛛网面积相似和形状相似的结构加固方案优选模型。该模型中首先运用熵权法确定18个指标权重,并将参数值归一化处理,随后运用Python计算蛛网结构相似度,检索出与目标范例最为相似的源范例。最后以结构加固效果显著的工程为例,验证了该模型能有效减少主观误差,具有较强的实用性,并以此模型优选出了某轧钢厂房结构加固方案。     

伏安型植物组织生物微电极的研究：混合不同植物组织碳糊微电极的研究

由于香蕉组织中含有的氧化酶能够生物催化氧化多巴胺，去甲肾上腺素，Ｌ－多巴等，大大地提高了植物组织电极的灵敏度；又由于茄子组织中所含有的氧化酶在催化氧化儿茶酚的同时，能有效地抑制抗坏血酸在电极上的反应，将上述两种植物组织混合制成电极，使其更适于神经递质的测定，线性范围：２．４×１０＾－６－－９．８×１０＾－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ；检出下限３．２×１０＾－７ｍｏｌ／Ｌ。     

矿区植物重金属元素测定的两种前处理方法比较

分别采用酸消解法和干灰化法处理16种矿区植物,并用原子吸收分光光度法测定其中的Mn、Cd、Cr和Zn的含量。结果表明:除Cd外,两种处理方法对Mn、Cr、Zn的测定结果有明显影响。测定植物组织Cd时,两种处理方法都可采用;测定Mn、Cr元素,采用酸消解法较为合适;测定Zn则宜采用干灰化法,并可适当延长木质部分(根、茎)的灰化时间。     

Purification by solid layer melt crystallization

The application of solid layer crystallization techniques in industry is arousing ever more interest. One reason is the increasing demand for ultrapure products, and another is the energysaving potential of this separation technology.This article examines solid layer melt crystallization as concerns its purification efficiency. The crystallization process was carried out in two different modes, whereby the process parameters were varied and post-crystallization treatments were additionally applied. The experimental results were used as the basis for a mathematical fit of a semi-empirical expression which predicts the purification efficiency. It was used for a design of different multistage plants, which operate with different crystallization strategies. One result is that a comparable product quality is attainable with a simple process technique in combination with post-crystallization treatments, instead of a more complicated and therefore more expensive process technique.The authors wish to acknowledge support by the EU (JOULE program), which helped attainment of some results presented here.

Assessment of various carbon sources and nutrient feeding strategies for Panax ginseng cell culture

Ginseng (root of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) cells were cultivated on medium supplemented with various carbohydrates including sucrose, glucose, and fructose, at initial concentrations ranging from 10 to 110 g/L. Sucrose was shown to be the superior carbon source to the monosaccharides for ginseng cell growth and the optimal concentration was between 30 and 50 g/L. An increase in the initial concentration within this range increased the maximum cell density and growth index significantly, whereas much higher concentrations inhibited cell growth. Feeding of sucrose and some other medium components during the growth (fed-batch mode) was more effective in enhancing the cell growth and biomass productivity, increasing the growth index by more than 60–70% and biomass productivity by more than 50%.
