Chemical treatment of TiO2-based coatings formed by plasma electrolytic oxidation in electrolyte containing nano-HA, calcium salts and phosphates for biomedical applications

TiO₂-based coatings were formed on titanium alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in an electrolyte containing nano-HA, calcium salts and phosphates. Bioactive surface was formed after chemical treatment (NaOH aqueous solution) of the PEO coating. The surface of the PEO coating was mainly composed of Ti, O, Ca and P showing anatase and rutile; while that of the chemically treated PEO (CT-PEO) coating mainly contains Ti, O, Ca and Na showing anatase, rutile and amorphous phase. And the chemically treated surface exhibits dissolution of P and introduction of Na during the chemical treatment process. The chemical treatment has no effect on the chemical states of Ca and Ti of the PEO coating. In addition, the surface constituents of the CT-PEO coating show a uniform distribution near its surface with increasing depth. When incubated in a simulated body fluid for 7 and 14 days, the PEO coating does not exhibit apatite-forming ability; however, apatite was successfully deposited on the CT-PEO coating after 7 days probably due to the formation of hydroxyl functionalized surface, enhancing the heterogeneous nucleation of apatite. The addition of nano-HA in the electrolyte has effects on the surface character and apatite-forming ability of the PEO coating; however, it has no obvious influence on those of the CT-PEO coatings.     

Two new benzaldehyde derivatives from mangrove endophytic fungus (No. ZZF 32)

Two new benzaldehyde derivatives, 6-ethyl-2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-3-methylbenzaldehyde (1), 6-ethyl-2,4-dihydroxy-3-methylbenzaldehyde (2), together with 2, 4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethylbenzaldehyde (3) were isolated from mangrove fungus (No. ZZF 32#) from the South China Sea. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were established by comprehensive analysis of the spectral data, especially 2D NMR spectral results.

Simultaneous determination of methylephedrine and pseudoephedrine in human urine by CE with electrochemiluminescence detection and its application to pharmacokeinetics

A novel method for the determination of ephedra alkaloids (methylephedrine and pseudoephedrine) was developed by electrophoresis capillary (CE) separation and electrochemiluminesence detection (ECL). The use of ionic liquid (1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, BMIMBF₄) improved the detection sensitivity markedly. The conditions for CE separation, ECL detection and effect of ionic liquid were investigated in detail. The two ephedra alkaloids with very similar structures were well separated and detected under the optimum conditions. The limits of detection (signal‐to‐noise ratio = 3) in standard solution were 1.8 × 10^–8 mol/L for methylephedrine (ME) and 9.2 × 10^–9 mol/L for pseudoephedrine (PSE). The limits of quantitation (signal‐to‐noise ratio = 10) in human urine samples were 2.6 × 10^?7 mol/L for ME and 3.6 × 10^–7 mol/L for PSE. The recoveries of two alkaloids at three different concentration levels in human urine samples were between 81.7 and 105.0%. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of ME and PSE in human urine and the monitoring of pharmacokinetics for PSE. The proposed method has potential in therapeutic drug monitoring and clinical analysis. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Nonlinear spectroscopy of three-photon excitation of cesium Rydberg atoms in vapor cell

We present nonlinear spectra of four-level ladder cesium atoms employing 6 S1/2→6 P3/2→7 S1/2→30 P3/2 scheme of a room temperature vapor cell.A coupling laser drives Rydberg transition,a dressing laser couples two intermediate levels,and a probe laser optically probes the nonlinear spectra via electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT).Nonlinear spectra are detected as a function of coupling laser frequency.The observed spectra exhibit an enhanced absorption(EA) signal at coupling laser resonance to Rydberg transition and enhanced transmission(ET) signals at detunings to the transition.We define the enhanced absorption(transmission) strength,HEA(HET),and distance between two ET peaks,γET,to describe the spectral feature of the four-level atoms.The enhanced absorption signal HEA is found to have a maximum value when we vary the dressing laser Rabi frequency Ωd,corresponding Rabi frequency is defined as a separatrix point,ΩdSe.The values of ΩdSe and further η=ΩdSe/Ωc are found to depend on the probe and coupling Rabi frequency but not the atomic density.Based on ΩdSe,the spectra can be separated into two regimes,weak and strong dressing ranges,Ωd≤ΩdSe and Ωd≥QdSe,respectively.The spectroscopies display different features at these two regimes.A four-level theoretical model is developed that agrees well with the experimental results in terms of the probe-beam absorption behavior of Rabi frequency-dependent dressed states.
