“学习提示”模块在新版有机化学教材中的应用

一本好的有机化学教材应该对教师教学和学生自学有很好的辅助和引导作用。如何使学生从浩如烟海的内容中发现重点、难点,并做到有效掌握和融会贯通,是教材编写者需要重点考虑的问题。笔者将教学经验融入到有机化学教材改革实践,在新版教材中加入了原创的“学习提示”板块,用简练、更通俗易懂的语言对一些重要、较难理解的或是容易混淆的知识点进行辅助讲解、串联总结。笔者认为该板块可以起到协助学生理解知识难点、厘清易混淆概念、将关联知识融会贯通以及激发学生科研兴趣等作用。本文用一些实例对这一模块的编写构思、内容和预期成效进行了介绍。     

Structural and immunogenicity analysis of reconstructed ancestral and consensus P48/45 for cross-species anti malaria transmission-blocking vaccine

The development of the anti-malaria vaccine holds a promising future in malaria control. One of the anti-malaria vaccine strategies known as the transmission-blocking vaccine (TBV) is to inhibit the parasite transmission between humans and mosquitoes by targeting the parasite gametocyte. Previously, we found that P48/45 included in the 6-Cysteine protein family shared by Plasmodium sp. We also detected vaccine properties possessed by all human-infecting Plasmodium and could be used as a cross-species anti-malaria vaccine. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of P48/45 through the ancestral and consensus reconstruction approach. P48/45 phylogenetic and time tree analysis was done by RAXML and BEAST2. GRASP server and Ugene software were used to reconstruct ancestral and consensus sequences, respectively. The protein structural prediction was made by using a psipred and Rosetta program. Each protein characteristic of P48/45 was analyzed by assessing hydrophobicity and Post-Translational Modification sites. Meanwhile, the Epitope sequence for B-cell, T-cell, and HLA was determined using an immunoinformatics approach. Lastly, molecular docking simulation was done to determine native binding interactions of P48/45-P230. The result showed a distinct protein characteristic of ancestral and consensus sequences. The immunogenicity analysis revealed the number of epitopes in the ancestral sequence is greater than the consensus sequence. The study also found a conserved epitope located in the binding site and consists of specific Post-Translational Modification sites. Hence, our research provides detailed insight into ancestral and consensus P48/45 efficacy for the cross-species anti-malaria vaccine.     

纳米材料在蛋白磷酸化分析中的应用研究

蛋白质磷酸化修饰是一种重要的蛋白质翻译后修饰,在细胞代谢过程中发挥着重要作用。当蛋白质的正常磷酸化调节发生异常时,会导致癌症、糖尿病、心脏病等各种疾病的发生。因此,蛋白磷酸化分析对于疾病的早期快速诊断、药物筛选和治疗等方面具有重大的意义。由于蛋白质磷酸化过程是动态的,并且磷酸化肽段或蛋白在生物样品中的含量较低,因此高灵敏的蛋白磷酸化分析面临着巨大的挑战。该文依据在检测过程中,选择性识别或捕获磷酸化的肽段或蛋白的主要机理,综述了近几年纳米材料对磷酸化肽段的富集和信号放大作用在蛋白磷酸化分析中的研究进展,并对其未来研究方向进行了展望。     

初中化学教科书表格呈现方式及其教学功能价值的研究

以现行4个版本的义务教育化学教科书为研究对象,根据教科书中表格功能的不同,将其分为实验记录型表格、归纳总结型表格、习题型表格、资料卡片型表格等4类,对4类不同表格的教学功能价值进行了分析说明。并以沪教版为例,对当前初中化学教师使用教科书表格进行教学的情况进行了抽样调查与分析,由此提出3点教学建议。     

多种优化试剂显现潮湿纸张表面潜在手印的比较研究

复杂条件下潜在手印的发现及显现提取一直以来是刑事技术领域研究的热点和难点,尤其是潮湿或水中浸泡客体表面的潜在手印,往往因为环境条件的影响而无法使用常规的显现方法。因此,对于这类疑难条件下潜在手印的显现研究成为亟待解决的问题。本文分别对比了尼罗红、尼罗蓝、物理显影液三种可用于潮湿客体表面潜在手印显现的优化试剂,并对其可靠性、灵敏度及使用条件进行了详细的论证分析,为实战工作中疑难条件下潜在手印的显现提出了可靠的处理方法。     

初中化学(科学)启蒙教材中“实验”“插图”“科普知识”的比较分析*

我国大陆和台湾的化学(科学)教材在化学启蒙方面的内容编写有着各自的特点和优势,因此以我国大陆人教版初中《化学》与我国台湾康轩文教版《自然与生活科技》为例,通过问卷调查法与对比分析法,研究化学启蒙阶段的学生对待化学的态度以及海峡两岸教材中“实验”“插图”“科普知识”等3部分内容的设置差异。结果表明:(1)化学实验是启蒙阶段学生对化学感兴趣的起始点,也是初接触时的难点,其中以我国台湾《自然与生活科技》教材中化学实验的探究性及层次性更深;(2)化学启蒙阶段教材中插图的科学性、清晰度以及精美程度对学生学习化学的兴趣和态度有较大影响;(3)化学教材中的模型图实物化有助于学生拨云见日,了解化学的真实模样。     

Analytical method development and validation of anticancer agent, 5-fluorouracil,and its metabolites in biological matrices: An updated review

Abstract

5-fluorouracil (5-FU) refers to a fluorinated pyrimidine analogue that has been widely used as an anticancer agent for colon, head, and neck cancers. Detection of 5-FU and its metabolites; 5-fluorouridine and 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine in biological samples allows optimization of pharmacotherapy and encourages fundamental investigations of this medication. The development of accurate and reliable sample preparation, as well as analytical methods, is critical to isolate targeted analytes from complex matrices, apart from increasing detection sensitivity of analytes. With that, this paper presents a review of prior studies pertaining to chromatographic and electrophoretic methods that focused on the analysis of 5-FU and its metabolites in biological matrices such as plasma and urine. This paper concentrates on HPLC, GC and CE systems, which are the most commonly used strategies for analytical separation of 5-FU and its metabolites from samples. Detection of these antineoplastic agents at trace level demands highly sensitive and selective analytical methodologies. Application of these analytical techniques to biological matrices is reviewed with a focus on method development strategies, including types of mobile phases and background electrolytes employed in LC and CE systems.     

Effective synthesis of bicyclodienes via palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation and ruthenium-catalyzed cycloisomerization

[n.3.0]Bicycles (n = 3–6) can be synthesized using palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation followed by ruthenium-catalyzed cycloisomerization. New types of triarylphosphino-1,2-diaminooxazoline ligands show the same high levels of enantioselectivity observed with Trost ligand when employed in Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation reactions. The enyne products of these allylic alkylation reactions were further elaborated using a Ru-catalyzed redox isomerization process, for which a mechanism is proposed.
