VESTA软件在典型晶体结构教学中的应用

晶体结构的基本概念既多又抽象,没有较强的空间想象力,很难理解和辨析清楚。二维图缺乏空间感;实物模型只做出一个晶胞,其重复规律不直观。VESTA晶体结构软件能够根据需要构建多个三维晶胞,即超胞,可以很直观地显示出晶体结构的特点。本文通过几个教学实例,说明VESTA软件如何帮助学生深入理解晶体结构的基本概念,结构特点与性能的关系,以及拓展晶体结构的认知领域,提高学习兴趣与探索能力。     

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。     

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.

On the Purely Longitudinal Space Charge Wave of an Extended Electromagnetic Theory

An extended electromagnetic theory has earlier been developed, as being based on the hypothesis of a nonzero electric field divergence in vacuo and the requirement of Lorentz invariance. This basis is supported by the commonly accepted fact that the vacuum is not merely an empty space, but has a ground state of nonzero energy and can become electrically polarized. The vacuum is thereby considered as electrically polarizable in the sense of being capable of supporting charge motion in the form of, e.g., space-charge waves. One result of the dynamic states of the present theory is the prediction of a purely longitudinal electric space-charge wave (S-wave) having no induced magnetic field. The behaviour of this wave type is demonstrated for a number of geometrical configurations. Some preliminary proposals are finally made for generation and detection of S waves. These waves are expected to have features which differ from those of the conventional transverse electromagnetic waves. If the S wave would come out to be physically realizable, it may thus form the basis of a new principle for telecommunication without or with very small magnetic induction effects.     

The Change of Grip Strength in a Patient with Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy Over a 4-year Period

Myotonic dystrophy (MyD) is a neuromuscular disease that is autosomal dominant and the most common form of muscular dystrophy affecting adults. The clinical features of MyD include a multisystemic disorder characterized by myotonia, progressive muscle weakness and wasting, cataracts, premature balding and mental retardation. The most severe type of MyD is classified as congenital MyD (CMyD). The muscle weakness in CMyD is very severe, but muscle development can be observed in the period of growth. However, no clinical case of this type has been reported yet. Therefore, we report on a girl with CMyD who had an increase in muscle strength over a four-year period. The girl with CMyD participated in this study from the age of 9 to the age of 12. The measurement of muscle strength was recorded as the maximum score of grip strength with the use of dynamometers. Grip strength was assessed once a year by the same two physical therapists. Grip strength of CMyD for each year was markedly weak when compared with the normal controls, but muscle strength changed within some specific growth areas. The muscle weakness in CMyD was remarkable, but the result showed that specific muscle strength of CMyD in childhood was actually increased.     

Workshop on "Quality Management in Analytical Chemical Research and Development"

 Maintaining a high quality of research and development (R&D) is fundamental for the competitiveness of European industry. The development of new technologies and the improvement of existing technologies, products, production processes, measurement instrumentation and methods as well as basic research is essential. The objective of the workshop on "Quality Management in Analytical Chemical Research and Development" was to bring together experts from the academic world, industrial and institutional laboratories and also accreditation bodies to discuss the actual state of the art in the field of quality management in R&D, and to set up milestones for further activities. Furthermore, an important objective was to present the EURACHEM/CITAC Guide 2. The paper outlines the programme of the workshop and summarises the round-table discussions and expert recommendations. Most of the contributions to the round-table discussions will be published as full papers in a forthcoming issue of Accreditation and Quality Assurance. The workshop was organised by the Institut für Chemo- und Biosensorik (ICB), Münster, with the financial support of the SMT-Programme of the European Commission (Contract No.: SMT4-CT98-6534).
