Goniodilactone and gomoheptenolactone,two novel cytotoxic styryllactones from the leaves of Goniothalamus cheliensis

Two novel styryllactones,goniodilactone（1） and gonioheptenolactone（2）,were isolated from the leaves of Goniothalamus cheliensis Hu.Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data as well as X-ray crystallography analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited significant cytotoxicities in a panel of human cancer cells,including DU-145,PC-3,MCF-7,A-549, KB and KBvin,with GI₅₀S in the range of 1.29-4.56μg/mL.     

Terpenoids from Loxocalyx urticifolius

Two new diterpenoids, loxocalyxin A ( 1 ) and 13‐epiloxocalyxin A ( 2 ), and two new sesquiterpenoids, loxocalyxins B and C ( 3 and 4 , resp.), together with three known compounds, were isolated from the MeOH extract of the whole plant of Loxocalyx urticifolius Hemsl . The structures of the new compounds were established by means of spectroscopic analysis including one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR spectroscopy. All new structures were confirmed by X‐ray crystallographic analysis. Their absolute configurations were established.     

Assessment and distinction of commercial soy protein isolate product functionalities using viscosity characteristic curves

To simplify the assessment method of soy protein isolate（SPI） functionalities,the viscosity and functionalities of commercial SPI products were studied.Viscosity value（y） increases with increasing concentration（x） and exhibits a highly significant correlation with the exponential equation y = a·e^bx.The b values of products are gradually enhanced from dispersion,emulsion and injected to gel type.Products with low b values（<0.2）,and high dispersivity were dispersion-type.Products having high b values （>0.4） and gel springiness were gel-type.The other products with centered b value（0.2-0.4）,high solubility and emulsifying capacity were emulsion-type.     

Parallel detection and quantitative analysis of specific binding of proteins by oblique-incidence reflectivity difference technique in label-free format

In this work, we parallelly detected the specific binding between microarray targets including 12 different kinds of proteins and the probe solution containing five corresponding antibodies and quantitatively analyzed the interactions between CDH13 and solution phase anti-CDH13 at six different probe concentrations by oblique-incidence reflectivity difference (OIRD) method in label-free format. The detection sensitivity reached 10 ng/mL. The experimental results indicate that the OIRD method is a promising and competing technique not only in research work but also in clinic.     

Finite time chaos control for a class of chaotic systems with input nonlinearities via TSM scheme

This paper investigates nonsingular terminal sliding mode control for a class of uncertain systems with nonlinear inputs and its application in chaos control. When some of the system states are finite-time stable, the nonlinear items that coupled with these states may come into zeros in other subsystems. This will simplify the stability analysis of the whole system greatly. Compared with the traditional finite-time stabilization design method, the introduction of the terminal sliding mode can reduce the input dimensions. Only one control input is requested to realize chaos control of the Liu system when unmatched uncertainties and input nonlinearity coexist. The parameter matrices in the TSM can be determined through the solution of LMIS. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
