Radiosensitization of human pancreatic cancer by piperlongumine analogues

Radiotherapy is commonly used to treat advanced pancreatic cancers and can improve survival by2 months in combination with gemcitabine.However,prognosis and survival improvement remain unsatisfactory,and effective therapies are urgently needed.Piperlongumine has been demonstrated to have therapeutic potentials against various cancers.In this study,we synthesized a series of piperlongumine derivatives and provided evidence that piperlongumine derivatives could be used as effective radiosensitizers in pancreatic cancer.Two compounds enhanced the radiosensitivity of Panc-1 and SW1990 cells.In a pancreatic bi-flank xenograft tumor model,they significantly inhibited tumor growth.Piperlongumine derivatives could induce reactive oxygen species(ROS) expression and regulate the Keapl-Nrf2 protective pathway with enhancement of radiation-induced DNA damage,G2/M-phase cell cycle arrest,and apoptosis.Collectively,our data offer a proof of concept for the use of piperlongumine derivatives as a novel class of radiosensitizers for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Quantitative Determination of Phillyrin in Human Plasma Using HPLC with Fluorescence Detection

A simple, rapid, and selective high-performance liquid chromatography method for determination of phillyrin in human plasma was developed. After extracting from the plasma samples with ethyl acetate, the analyte was chromatographed on a C18 column with methanol–water (50:50, v/v, pH 2.86) as mobile phase. The fluorescence excitation and emission wavelengths were 277 and 315 nm, respectively. The linear range of the standard curve of phillyrin was 0.0313–8.0 μg mL^?1 (r > 0.999). The limit of detection was 6.31 ng mL^?1. The average recovery of phillyrin was 101.02% from plasma. The intra- and inter-day variabilities of phillyrin were <10.00%.     

Revisiting H/Pt(111) by a combined experimental study of the H-D exchange reaction and first-principles calculations

We report a detailed investigation of the behavior of chemisorbed hydrogen atoms (Ha) on Pt(111) by a combination of an ex-perimental study of the Ha + Da reaction and first-principles calculations. The coverage-dependent adsorption and desorption behavior of Ha and Da on Pt(111) have been systematically established and can be well interpreted in terms of repulsive inter-actions between adsorbates. Ha adsorbs exclusively on the face-centered cubic (fcc) sites of Pt(111) at coverages not exceeding 1 monolaye...

Facile Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticle-loaded Carbon Nanofiber Composites and Their Electrocatalytic Activity Towards Dopamine, Ascorbic Acid and Uric Acid

A facile approach for the synthesis of gold nanoparticle-loaded carbon nanofiber(Au/CNF) composites was developed. When applied to electrochemistry, these composites showed attractive performances such as high conductivity and facile electron transfer kinetics. Under physiological conditions, the Au/CNF composite modified electrode exhibits highly electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of dopamine, ascorbic acid and uric acid. Owing to the good selectivity for the simultaneous detection of these three ...     

曲率对Rh在锯齿型单壁碳纳米管内外吸附影响的研究

利用密度泛函理论系统的研究了单壁碳纳米管的曲率对Rh原子在锯齿型碳管内外吸附行为的影响,发现Rh原子在管外吸附比管内稳定;随着碳管管径的增加,曲率减小,管内外吸附能的差值逐渐减小,接近Rh原子在石墨烯上的吸附能.电荷密度分析表明,由于卷曲效应使碳纳米管管外的电荷密度大于管内,随着曲率减小,这种差别逐渐减小.管内外吸附R...     

不同有机胺修饰MCM-41的CO2吸附性能和热稳定性

将乙二胺(EDA,60 g/mol)、四乙烯五胺(TEPA,189 g/mol)和两种聚乙烯亚胺600(PEI600g/mol; PEI1800g/mol)分别负载在MCM-41上制备氨基功能化介孔材料,研究其对CO₂的吸附性能和热稳定性.结果表明,除了EDA-MCM41,其他三种材料随着胺分子量增大CO₂吸附性能下降,但是热稳定性却有所提高,其中,TEPA-MCM41的吸附容量最大,达到2.7 mmol/g.同时发现,乙二胺在制备过程中随溶剂挥发而难以完全负载在MCM-41上.在纯N₂气氛和再生温度100 ℃条件下,经10次循环实验后,TEPA-MCM41的吸附能力下降了7.4%,而PEI600-MCM41和PEI1800-MCM41吸附能力保持不变,且质量变化在1%以内,表现出良好的再生稳定性.采用80%CO₂/20%N₂对吸附饱和的材料进行再生,四种材料的再生温度将提高到160 ℃以上,高分子量PEI600-MCM41和PEI1800-MCM41相比于TEPA-MCM41具有更好的热稳定性.

β-环糊精诱导的三氧化钼水溶性的增加

报道了由β-环糊精诱导的三氧化钼(MoO₃)水溶性增加及其与β-环糊精浓度的相关性, 认为MoO₃水溶性的增加是由于β-环糊精的加入导致了MoO₃在水中的沉淀-溶解平衡向溶解方向移动. 几个独立的实验证明了由β-环糊精和钼酸根离子(MoO₄^2-)组成的灰蓝色产物的形成. 结果表明: (1) X射线光电子能谱显示, 与MoO₃相比, 灰蓝色产物中钼的3d_5/2和3d_3/2电子轨道的结合能有明显的降低; (2) 在灰蓝色产物中出现了213 nm处的强吸收带(Mo＝O)和775 nm处的宽吸收峰(Mo―O); (3) 由于MoO₄^2-的影响, β-环糊精的质子有很明显的低场漂移. 总之, 我们的工作不仅明确地揭示了β-环糊精和MoO₄^2-之间的分子-离子相互作用, 同时揭示了这种相互作用在改善MoO₃物理性质上的潜在应用价值.
