LC-ESI-MS/MS profiling of alkaloids and antiproliferative activity of Pachypoduim lamerei drake leaves

Abstract

In the present study, evaluation of the antiproliferative activity of Pachypodium lamerei Drake leaves (family Apocyaceae) against human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 was done for the total methanolic extract, crude alkaloidal mixture and ursolic acid using the MTT colorimetric assay. The methanolic extract showed the strongest antiproliferative activity followed by ursolic acid and crude alkaloidal fraction with an IC₅₀ equal to 6.2, 14.55 and 56.3?µg/ml respectively compared to oleocanthal. It is the first record for the LC/ESI-MS/MS alkaloidal profiling of the leaves of P. lamerei. Seven alkaloids were tentatively identified according to their fragmentation patterns. Four alkaloids were related to the parent indole class and two alkaloids belong to the quinoline class in addition to one steroidal alkaloid with a pregnan nucleus. Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract led to the isolation of three triterpenoidal compounds including ursolic acid, 11,12-didehydroursolic acid lactone and ursolic acid lactone.     

两性淀粉接枝共聚物在中性抄纸中的应用

为考察两性淀粉与丙烯酰胺接枝共聚及阳离子合成的具有功能化、网络化的多元变性淀粉对纸张的增强效果,采用废纸浆为原料,在中性抄纸条件下,对该多元变性淀粉的增强应用性能进行了研究。结果发现,两性淀粉与丙烯酰胺接枝共聚物(AS-g-PAM)及其阳离子化的衍生物(AS-g-CPAM)比两性淀粉具有更好的增强效果,尤其可大幅度提高纸张的环压强度。与两性淀粉比较,用量为0.5%AS-g-PAM和AS-g-CPAM可分别提高环压指数22%和45%以上,对纸张的抗张指数、耐破度等也比使用两性淀粉有不同程度的提高,同时,AS-g-CPAM在0.05%的低用量时,仍具有较好的增强效果。     

BiVO4的添加对Nd0.2Ce0.8O1.9电解质微观结构和性能的影响

采用溶胶凝胶法制备BiVO₄（BV）和Nd_0.2Ce_0.8O_1.9（NDC）粉末,研究BV的加入对NDC电解质结构、形貌及电性能的影响。实验结果表明,NDC-5BV电解质的微观结构更致密,700℃时总电导率（σ_t）提高至3.35×10^-2 S·cm^-1,极化电阻（R_p）降低34%以上。单电池在700℃时的最大功率密度（MPD）为514 mW·cm^-2,开路电压（OCV）在70 h内可以保持良好的长期稳定性。     

A choice model with imprecise ordinal evaluations

We consider multicriteria choice problems where the actions are evaluated on ordinal criteria and where they can be assessed imprecisely. In order to select the subset of best actions, the pairwise comparisons between the actions on each criterion are modeled by basic belief assignments (BBAs). Dempsterʼs rule of combination is used for the aggregation of the BBAs of each pair of alternatives in order to express a global comparison between them on all the criteria. A model inspired by ELECTRE I is also proposed and illustrated by a pedagogical example.

稀土对小麦（Triticum aestivum）体内光合和呼吸速率及磷酸化功能的影响

以适当浓度稀土溶液处理小麦后，其光合和氧化磷酸化的磷氧比（Ｐ／Ｏ）、光合控制（Ｐｃ）、呼吸控制（ＲＣ）、状态３．４光合和呼吸速率（Ｓ３．Ｓ４）与对照样比均无显著性差异。状态２（Ｓ２）光合和呼吸速率提高，差异极显著。说明小麦用最适浓度稀土处理后，对其光合和呼吸的磷酸化机构和功能膜影响不大，但显著促进了光合和呼吸速率（Ｓ２），从而促进了电子传递链的活性，使ＡＴＰ形成量增加。     

A multicriteria perspective on reverse auctions

This is a summary of the main contributions of the author’s PhD thesis. The thesis is written in English. It was supervised by Philippe Vincke and was defended on 20 December 2005 at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. A copy is available from the author upon request. The aim of this work is to investigate the use of a partial relations for bids’ comparisons in the context of multi-attribute auctions. At first a theoretical framework is developed. Then a specific model referred to as the butterfly model is presented. Finally the concept of bidding niches is formalized and related to the aforementioned model.      

Extensions of the prudence principle to exploit a valued outranking relation

In many outranking methods, the alternatives are first compared pairwise to build a valued outranking relation, which is then exploited to derive a recommendation for the decision maker. This paper proposes extensions of Arrow and Raynaud’s prudence principle to exploit a valued outranking relation, even in cases where the outranking values have an ordinal interpretation. The idea is to build a ranking that maximizes the weakest support for its implicit pairwise comparisons. We present a family of exploitation models providing three types of solutions, depending on the decision maker’s request: a linear order, a weak order, or a partial preorder. An algorithm is provided which solves the exploitation models. Relations between these models and some of their properties are also discussed.     

微氧化烧结制备掺杂Y2O3的SiC陶瓷及含镉模拟废水处理

采用了微氧化烧结制备了不同Y₂O₃质量分数（0%、2%、4%、6%）的多孔SiC陶瓷，通过对陶瓷的晶体结构、微观形貌、物理性能和Cd²⁺的去除率测试发现：添加了Y₂O₃的SiC陶瓷出现了较多的第二相Y₂SiO₇、Y₅Si₃C_0.5，随着Y₂O₃的质量分数增加逐渐升高，主相的衍射峰的强度有降低。扫描电子显微镜测试发现，SiC陶瓷的尺寸在2.5 μm，Y₂O₃引入后，SiC陶瓷的晶粒尺寸降低，高温烧结时液相的含量增加，熔体粘度降低，晶粒结合更加紧密，Y₂O₃的引入提高了多孔陶瓷的体积密度，Y₂O₃质量分数为6%SiC的体积密度最大为2.21 g/cm³。热导率随着Y₂O₃质量分数的增加呈现出先升高后降低的趋势。金属Cd²⁺的过滤测试表明：随着Y₂O₃质量分数增加，Cd²⁺的残留质量浓度、膜通量和去除率先降低后升高，当掺杂质量分数为4%时，Cd²⁺残留质量浓度最低为0.042 mg/L，膜通量达到了最大值572 L/（m²·h），去除率最大为99.95%，相比未掺质量分数杂体系的去除率提高了0.14%。随着溶液pH值的逐渐增大，金属Cd²⁺的残留质量浓度逐渐降低、去除率逐渐升高，pH≥9时最终均趋于稳定。综合来看，多孔SiC陶瓷的助烧剂Y₂O₃最佳掺量为4%。
