Inhibition of resveratrol glucosides (REs) on advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) formation: inhibitory mechanism and structure-activity relationship

Abstract

The study on inhibitory effects of resveratrol glucosides (REs) on advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) formation is still unmet. Herein, for the first time, the antiglycation activities of five REs in the fetal bovine serum proteins (FBS)/fructose system were evaluated, and its structure-activity relationship and antiglycation mechanism were further explored. These REs showed remarkable inhibition toward AGEs formation. Among them, Piceatannol-3'-O-glucoside (PG) exhibited highest antiglycation activity as reflected in approximately 80% inhibition of fluorescent AGEs at the concentration of 1.0?mM. The structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that glucoside attached to the B ring of resveratrol displays a superior antiglycation activity. Moreover, the results of antiglycation mechanism showed that the antiglycation activity of REs was proportional to their antioxidant capacity and methylglyoxal (MGO) trapping capacity. Therefore, the REs are promising candidates worthy of further exploration for preventing AGEs accumulation in vivo, thereby treating AGEs-associated diseases.     

Quantum Thermalization and Vanishing Thermal Entanglement in the Open Jaynes–Cummings Model

The quantum thermalization of the Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium open-system cases is studied, in which the two subsystems, a two-level system and a single-mode bosonic field, are in contact with either two individual heat baths or a common heat bath. It is found that in the individual heat-bath case, the JC model can only be thermalized when either the two heat baths have the same temperature or the coupling of the JC system to one of the two baths is turned off. In the common heat-bath case, the JC system can be thermalized irrespective of the bath temperature and the system–bath coupling strengths. The thermal entanglement in this system is also studied. A counterintuitive phenomenon of vanishing thermal entanglement in the JC system is found and proved.     

Studies on the Structure and Properties of Cordierite Synthesized by Talc-Magnesite

Homogeneous cordierite has been synthesized at low cost by talc-magnesite and coal gangue as the main raw materials. The mechanism of synthesizing cordierite under such a com- posing system of raw materials, and the effect of temperature on the crystal cell parameters and microstructure and thermal expansion coefficient of cordierite crystal have been studied via testing methods of XRD, SEM, etc. The result shows that the homogeneous cordierite can be synthesized by the systematic composing materials of “talc-magnesite—coal gangue—talc” with heat pre- servation at 1350 ℃ for 1 h; as the keeping time is prolonged, Al3+ and Mg2+ in cordierite crystal are replaced by a few impurity ions such as Fe3+, Fe2+, etc., and the crystal cell parameters of cordierite present an increase trend; as the high-temperature heat preservation is prolonged, the content of glassy phase in the sample is increased, its density is improved, and its thermal expansion coeffi- cient presents an increase trend.

甲基苯基次膦酸与锌盐的水溶液配位聚合及聚合物水溶液的电导行为

<正> 次膦酸金属配位聚合物具有良好的耐高温性能。但象许多其它无机聚合物一样,某些次膦酸金属配位聚合物不耐水解,如有些聚合物与水长期接触后,即转化为粉末,不复溶于原有机溶剂中。Block等曾简短报导过二甲基次膦酸锌的水溶液测不出特性粘数,所以,为制备这类聚合物,文献上都采用无水有机溶剂作为反应介质的合成方法,
