Small molecular logic systems can draw the outlines of objects via edge visualization

The recently-discovered ability of small logical molecules to recognize edges is exploited to achieve outline drawing from binary templates. Outlines of arbitrary curvature, several colours and thicknesses down to 1 mm are drawn in around 30 min or less by employing a common laboratory two-colour ultraviolet lamp. The outlines and the light dose-driven XOR logic with fluorescence output or ‘off–on–off’ action which is observed in the irradiated regions are modelled by combining foundational principles of photochemistry, acid–base neutralization and diffusion.

High-performance liquid chromatography quantitative analysis of ephedrine alkaloids in Ephedrae Herba on a perfluorooctyl stationary phase

Ephedrae Herba is one of the most commonly used herbal medicines, and it has been shown that most of the clinical efficacy for cold and asthma is exerted by its alkaloidal components. A simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed using a perfluorooctyl column for the simultaneous determination of five alkaloids (norephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and methylephedrine) in Ephedrae Herba. The mobile phase comprising acetonitrile and 15 mM ammonium trifluoroacetate was used to elute the targets in isocratic elution mode. The method was validated for linearity (R² > 0.999), repeatability, intraday and interday precision, recoveries with trueness (93.87–110.99%), limits of detection (5.35–5.76 µg/mL), and limits of quantification (20 µg/mL). The quantitative results revealed that the developed method was precise and accurate. Then it was successfully applied to determine the difference in the contents of three batches of Ephedrae Herba from three pharmaceutical companies.     

Synthesis and Chromatographic Evaluation of Perfluorooctyl Stationary Phase for Separation of Basic Compounds

Fluorinated stationary phases provide unique separation effect on basic compounds, due to the fluorine atoms, and pentafluorophenyl stationary phases (PFPs) are the most widely used. Considering that some fluoroalkyls have higher fluorine contents than PFPs do, it is speculated that fluoroalkyl stationary phases should have potential new applications. Herein, we synthesized a silica-based stationary phase bonding perfluoroctyl (FC8) proved by characterization through elemental analysis and solid-state ¹³C cross-polarization/magic-anglespinning nuclear magnetic resonance. The chromatographic behavior of the stationary phase was evaluated with test compounds. In addition, to further study the applicability of FC8 materials, Corydalis decumbens (Thunb.) Pers. fraction, considered as a challenging medicine on reversed-phase chromatography columns, was chosen as a test sample. Results demonstrated that the FC8 stationary phase had better and more satisfactory separation performance than the PFP stationary phase on basic compounds.

Formation of a silicato complex of zinc in aqueous solution and its accelerating effect on the formation of silica scales in cooling water systems

This study elucidates the effect of zinc (Zn), which is an anticorrosive water additive, on the formation of silica scales from cooling water. In these experiments, the silica scales were analyzed by EPMA, and the results indicate that Zn is sorbed into the silica scales during formation. Measurements of the solubility of Zn(OH)(2) at various concentrations of silicic acid demonstrate that Zn is present as a silicato complex of Zn (SCZ) in cooling water. From adsorption experiments of the SCZ on silica and alumina, which are major components of the silica scales, it can be concluded that the SCZ accelerates the formation of silica scales from cooling water.

Comparison of two different deposition methods of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane on glass slides and their application in the ThinPrep cytologic test

In this work, two different deposition methods of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) on glass slides were compared in order to study the adhesion effect of cervical exfoliated cells on smear slides. Glass slides were modified by vapor-phase deposition (V-D) and liquid-phase deposition (L-D), respectively. The topographic images and amine density of the modified slides were investigated by using atomic force microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The numbers of cells adhered on the slides functionalized by V-D and L-D were counted and compared under the microscope. The data showed significant differences between the two methods (t-test: P < 0.05). The results presented here have made it theoretically possible to produce amine slides by V-D method for the ThinPrep cytologic test.
