Composition of vanadium carbides formed by solidification in ternary Fe-V-C alloys

The solidification behaviour of Fe-V-C alloys, was studied by differential thermal analysis. The composition and the nature of the phases were analysed by quantitative electron probe microanalysis and X-ray diffraction. Accurate microanalysis of carbon in vanadium carbides (VC_x and V₂C) were performed. A liquidus projection of the system Fe-V-C in the Fe-V rich region was proposed.     

Elaboration and characterization of hybrid organic-inorganic gels obtained by reaction of 1,4-butanediol on tetramethoxysilane

New hybrid organic-inorganic gels have been obtained by reaction of 1,4-butanediol, on tetramethoxysilane Si(OMe)₄ dissolved in CCl₄. This reaction does not require water and leads to the formation of polymeric transparent materials.Infrared, ²⁹Si and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy shows that interchange reactions between OMe groups of alkoxide and -O-(CH₂)₄-O of 1,4-butanediol occurred, leading to the monolithic transparent gels in which both organic (Si-O-(CH₂)₄-O-Si) and inorganic (Si-O-Si) bridges are formed.     

The development and validation of a novel LC–MS/MS method for the quantification of cenicriviroc in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid

A high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometric method was developed and validated for cenicriviroc (CVC) quantification in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The method involved precipitation with acetonitrile and injecting supernatants onto the column. Separation was achieved on an XBridge C₁₈ column with a gradient elution of 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile. Analyte detection was conducted in positive ion mode using selected reaction monitoring. The m/z transitions were: CVC (697.3 → 574.3) and CVC-d7 (704.4 → 574.3). Calibration curve ranged from 5 to 1000 ng/mL for plasma and from 0.241 to 15.0 ng/mL for CSF. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were <15% for both plasma and CSF across four different concentrations. CVC recovery from plasma and artificial CSF was >90%. The method was utilized for the measurement of patients’ plasma and CSF samples taking a dose of 50, 150 and 300 mg q.d.     

抗坏血酸和尿酸在甘氨酸-壳聚糖修饰玻碳电极上的电化学行为及测定

制备了甘氨酸-壳聚糖复合膜修饰玻碳电极(Gly-CTS/GCE),研究了抗坏血酸(AA)和尿酸(UA)在该修饰电极上的电化学行为。结果表明在pH=5.59的磷酸盐缓冲溶液中,AA、UA在Gly-CTS/GCE上均产生灵敏的不可逆氧化峰,其峰电流与浓度在一定范围内呈良好的线性关系。对AA和UA混合溶液平行测定7次,相对标准偏差分别为4.6%、2.9%,表明该电极重现性和稳定性良好。AA、UA在Gly-CTS/GCE电极上的氧化峰峰电位相差340mV,据此可实现对二者的同时检测,并可应用于实际样品测定。     

Elaboration and characterisation of a plasticized cellulose triacetate membrane containing trioctylphosphine oxyde (TOPO): Application to the transport of uranium and molybdenum ions

A cellulose triacetate (CTA) membrane containing trioctylphosphine oxyde (TOPO) as carrier and 2-nitrophenyloctyl ether (NPOE) as a plasticizer was prepared. The membrane CTA + NPOE + TOPO was characterised using chemical techniques as well as Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The CTA membrane is characterised by well-defined pores; these pores are completely filled with the NPOE and carrier. Surfaces of membranes with TOPO are smooth. The systems constituted by the mixture of CTA + NPOE, CTA + NPOE + TOPO do not give any diffraction. This can be due to the absence of crystallization within the membrane. On the other hand, this result should be attributable to the amorphous state of the structure, which permits us to eliminate the mechanism of transfer of the ions by electron jump. A comparative study of transport across a polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) and a supported liquid membrane (SLM) containing the same carrier in chloroform has shown that uranium or molybdenum transport efficiency was increased using PIM instead of SLM. PIM showed higher stability than SLM, the flux of transport remain constant in the former case after 2 weeks.     

Snail Hepatopancreatic Lipase: A New Member of Invertebrates Lipases' Group

Higher animal's lipases are well characterized; however, much less is known about lipases from mollusks. A lipolytic activity was located in the land snail (Eobania vermiculata) digestive glands (hepatopancreas), from which a snail digestive lipase (SnDL) was purified. Pure SnDL has a molecular mass of 60 kDa; it does not present the interfacial activation phenomenon. It was found to be more active on short-chain triacylglycerols than on long-chain triacylglycerols. The NH₂-terminal sequence of the SnDL shows 66% of identity with the 17 NH₂-terminal amino acids of a putative lipase from sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus). No sequence identity was found with known lipases. Interestingly, neither colipase nor bile salts were detected in the snail hepatopancreas. This suggests that colipase evolved in vertebrates simultaneously with the appearance of an exocrine pancreas and a true liver which produces bile salts. Altogether, these results suggest that SnDL is a member of a new group of digestive lipases belonging to invertebrates.     

The iron phosphate K3Fe5(PO4)6

The crystal structure of tripotassium pentairon hexaphosphate has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The structure contains one Fe atom on a center of symmetry, one K, two Fe and two P atoms on twofold axes, and one Fe, two P and one K atom in general positions. The K₃Fe₅(PO₄)₆ structure consists of a complex three‐dimensional framework of corner‐sharing between iron polyhedra, and corner‐ and edge‐sharing between PO₄ tetrahedra and iron polyhedra (FeO₅ and FeO₆). This linkage between iron and phosphorus forms intersecting channels containing the K atoms.     

Antibacterial cotton fabrics with in situ generated silver and copper bimetallic nanoparticles using red sanders powder extract as reducing agent

Using aqueous extraction of red sanders powder as a reducing agent, silver and copper bimetallic nanoparticles were in situ generated in cotton fabrics. Silver and copper nanoparticles were also generated separately for comparison. The resulted nanocomposite cotton fabrics (NCFs) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and antibacterial tests. SEM analysis indicated the generation of more number of nanoparticles when bimetallic source solutions were used. Further, the size range of the generated bimetallic nanoparticles was found to be lower than when individual metal nanoparticles were generated in NCFs. XRD analysis confirmed the in situ generation of silver and copper nanoparticles when equimolar bimetallic salt source solutions were utilized. The NCFs with bimetallic nanoparticles exhibited higher antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and hence can be considered for applications as antibacterial bed and dressing materials.
