An efficient,scalable approach to hydrolyze flavonoid glucuronides via activation of glycoside bond

Hydrolyzing flavonoid glucuronides into corresponding aglycones posed some significant challenges. To improve acid-catalyzed hydrolysis process of flavonoid glucuronide, structures of glucuronide, hydrolysis parameters and post-processing were optimized. The optimized condition was performed by hydrolysis flavonoid glycoside methyl ester in a mixed solvent consisting of 2 mol/L H₂SO₄/EtOH/H₂O (1/8/1, v/v/v) at 95 °C for 7 h and resulted in up to 90% aglycone yields, minimal byproduct formations and milder hydrolysis conditions. Furthermore, the optimized method avoids tedious purification steps and is easily conducted on a relatively large-scale using economical and commercially available reagents.

基于石墨烯和金纳米笼修饰的无标记型微囊藻毒素免疫传感器的研制

利用石墨烯及中空结构的金纳米笼构建了无标记型电化学免疫传感器,并用于微囊藻毒素的检测。利用多元醇还原法合成制备了导电性好、催化性强、生物相容性好的金纳米笼;再利用高分散的石墨烯将其固定于玻碳电极表面,进一步吸附固定微囊藻毒素抗体。在无微囊藻毒素存在时,电化学探针[Fe(CN)6]3!/4!在传感器界面上能获得较高的电流响应信号。当培育了微囊藻毒素后,抗体与微囊藻毒素形成免疫结合物,增加了电极表面的电荷密度和传质阻力,阻碍[Fe(CN)6]3!/4!扩散到电极表面,导致[Fe(CN)6]3!/4!的电流响应信号明显降低,电流减小的程度间接地与微囊藻毒素的浓度成比例,可实现对微囊藻毒素的检测。实验考察了抗原培育时间,抗体浓度等条件对该传感器响应性能的影响。结果表明,此传感器对微囊藻毒素的线性响应范围为0.05~1000μg/L,检出限为0.017μg/L,优于文献报道。此传感器操作简单,并且具有良好的稳定性,将其用于实际水样中微囊藻毒素的检测,平均加标回收率为94.1%。     

Boundedness and convergence of perturbed corrections for helium-like ions in ground states

Applying the improved Rayleigh SchrSdinger perturbation theory based on an integral equation to helium-like ions in ground states and treating electron correlations as perturbations, we obtain the second-order corrections to wavefunctions consisting of a few terms and the third-order corrections to energicity. It is demonstrated that the corrected wavefunctions are bounded and quadratically integrable, and the corresponding perturbation series is convergent. The results clear off the previous distrust for the convergence in the quantum perturbation theory and show a reciprocal development on the quantum perturbation problem of the ground state helium-like systems.

A novel aptasensor based on 3D-inorganic hybrid composite as immobilized substrate for sensitive detection of platelet-derived growth factor

A novel electrochemical detection approach for platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) via "sandwich"structure is reported in this paper. 3D-4MgCO_3 Mg(OH)_2 4H_2O-Au NPs inorganic hybrid composite was utilized as immobilized substrate for sensitive PDGF detection and Pt-Au bimetallic nanoparticles were labelled on PDGF aptamer to indirectly detect PDGF for the first time. The proposed aptasensor exhibited a high catalytic efficiency towards reduction of H_2O_2, hence the sensitive detection of PDGF was achieved.Results showed that the aptasensor exhibited excellent linear response to PDGF, in the range of 0.1 pg/m L–10 ng/m L(4 fmol/L–400 pmol/L), with detection limit of 0.03 pg/m L(1.2 fmol/L).     

Thermal conductivity of microPCMs-filled epoxy matrix composites

Microencapsulated phase change materials (microPCMs) have been widely applied in solid matrix as thermal-storage or temperature-controlling functional composites. The thermal conductivity of these microPCMs/matrix composites is an important property need to be considered. In this study, a series of microPCMs have been fabricated using the in situ polymerization with various core/shell ratio and average diameter; the thermal conductivity of microPCMs/epoxy composites were investigated in details. The results show that the microPCMs have smooth surface and regular global shape with compact methanol–melamine–formaldehyde shell. The shell thickness does not greatly influence the phase change behaviors of PCM. Moreover, smaller microPCMs embedded in epoxy can improve the thermal transmission ability of composites. The effect of thermal conductivity of composites can be improved with higher volume fraction (10–30%) of microPCMs; and smaller size microPCMs with the same content of PCM may also enhance the thermal transmission area in matrix. Modeling analysis of relative thermal conductivity indicates that mixing higher thermal conductivity additive in PCM or matrix is an appropriate method to improve the thermal conductivity of microPCMs/matrix composites.     

High-order perturbed corrections with scaling transformation

The performance of the so-called superconvergent quantum perturbation theory （Wenhua Hal et al2000 Phys. Rev. A 61 052105） is investigated for the case of the ground-state energy of the helium-like ions. The scaling transformation τ → τ/Z applied to the Hamiltonian of a two-electron atomic ion with a nuclear charge Z （in atomic units）. Using the improved Rayleigh-SchrSdinger perturbation theory based on the integral equation to helium-like ions in the ground states and treating the electron correlations as perturbations, we have performed a third-order perturbation calculation and obtained the second-order corrected wavefunctions consisting of a few terms and third-order energy corrections. We find that third-order and higher-order energy corrections are improved with decreasing nuclear charge. This result means that the former is quadratically integrable and the latter is physically meaningful. The improved quantum perturbation theory fits the higher-order perturbation case. This work shows that it is a development on the quantum perturbation problem of helium-like systems.
