Pollution characteristics and risk assessment of uranium and heavy metals of agricultural soil around the uranium tailing reservoir in Southern China

For the first time the pollution of the paddy soil within 2 km around the uranium tailing reservoir was investigated. The concentrations of U, Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn, Hg and As were determined by ICP-MS. The study showed that there was severe pollution in the first area (within 0–1 km of the tailing reservoir), which was caused by Cd, As, U and Hg. The pollution level of the second area (within 1–2 km) was relatively low. Hg and As were the main pollutants. In the first area, the contamination degree and risk of elements were positively correlated with the distance from the tailing reservoir. The second area was less polluted and influenced by mining and human activities because of mountain barriers.     

Synthesis of Cholesterylated Thiogalactosides for Gene Delivery

A series of cholesterylated thiogalactosides L₁ –L₆ the cell targeting ligands for gene delivery to hepatocytes, was synthesized. Related poly(ethylene glycol) chain was used as a bridge for the attachment of galactoside on one hydroxyl end, while the other hydroxyl end was linked with cholesterol. This design provided an effective entry for the synthesis of a poly(ethylene glycol) compound with the hepatocyte targeting.     

Cell Membrane-camouflaged Multi-functional Dendritic Large Pore Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Combined Photothermal Therapy and Radiotherapy of Cancer

Combining photothermal therapy and radiotherapy(PTT-RT) with reducing tumor hypoxia acts as an important antitumor modality. However, it is a great challenge to realize photothermal therapy, radiotherapy and exogenous oxygen supply in one nanosystem. To realize a combination of the three functions, we fabricated a red blood cell membrane(RBCm)-camouflaged, red blood cell content(RBCc) and the copper sulfide(CuS) co-loaded dendritic large pore mesoporous silica nanoparticle(DLMSN/CuS/RBCc/ RBCm). The cell membrane coating endowed the nanoparticles with good stability in the physiological environment, and CuS allowed the nanoparticle exhibiting good photothermal and radiosensitization properties. RBCc loaded nanoparticle DLMSN/CuS/RBCc enhanced superior anti-tumor effect than DLMSN/CuS during combined PTT-RT therapy because the introduction of RBCc increased the exogenous oxygen supply. The in vitro study further demonstrated that the combination of photothermal therapy and radiotherapy induced superior antitumor efficacy than single therapy. Our work thus presents a unique multifunctional nanoscale platform favorable for combined PTT and RT.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Antitumor Activity of a Ca(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer Based on 4-Acetylphenoxyacetate Ligands

A novel Ca(Ⅱ) coordination polymer,[Ca L₂(H₂O)₂]_n (1,HL=4-acetylphenoxyacetic acid) has been synthesized with 4-acetylphenoxyacetic acid,Ca(ClO_4)₂·4H₂O and Na OH as raw materials.Complex 1 was characterized by elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.The results show that the Ca(Ⅱ)ion is eight-coordinated in a distorted triangular dodecahedral geometric configuration with six carboxylate Oatoms of four L ligands and two O atoms of two coordinated water molecules.Complex 1 forms a one-dimensional chained structure by the bridging effect of carboxylate O atoms.The antitumor activity of HLligand and complex 1 has also been investigated.     

Sarcaglarols A—D,Lindenane−Monoterpene Heterodimers from Sarcandra glabra Based on Molecular Networks

Sarcaglarols A—D ( 1 — 4 ), two pairs of lindenane?monoterpene heterodimers fused by a 1,2‐dioxane moiety, were discovered and isolated from the leaves of Sarcandra glabra guided by MS/MS molecular networking‐based strategy. Their planar structures, absolute configurations of basic skeleton and flexible polyhydric side chain were established by analysis of HRESIMS, NMR spectroscopic data, ECD spectrum, and the X‐ray diffraction study of isopropylidene derivatives. An intermolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition may play a key role in the biosynthesis pathway of the 1,2‐dioxane moiety fused lindenane?monoterpene heterodimer skeleton, which can be recognized as the biogenetic precursors of our previous reported lindenane?normonoterpene conjugates. In addition, compounds 1 , 3 and 4 exhibited moderate inhibitory effects of lipid accumulation in free fatty acid‐exposed L02 cells.     

Theoretical Design of Multi‐Nitroxyl Organocatalysts with Enhanced Reactivity for Aerobic Oxidation

Higher catalytic performances of N,N′,N′′‐trihydroxyisocyanuric acid (THICA), N,N‐dihydroxypyromellitimide (NDHPI), and N‐hydroxynaphthalimide (NHNI) than that of N‐hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) have been demonstrated recently in aerobic oxidation. Herein, the rational design of reactive multi‐nitroxyl organocatalysts has been addressed theoretically by using systematic analysis of some important properties and catalytic activities of yet‐to‐be‐synthesized catalysts. Our results show that 1) NHNI and its analogue, similar to THICA, unlike NHPI and others, are unsuitable for solvent‐ or mediator‐free catalysis due to their strong intramolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions; 2) increasing the reactive hydroxyimide groups on the same aromatic ring, or doped N atoms or ionic‐pair groups onto the aromatic ring, can improve catalytic reactivity, whereas appropriate enlargement of conjugated aromatic systems results in unchanged activity; 3) the newly designed catalysts are more active than NHPI and NHNI and have catalytic activities comparable to NDHPI and THICA; 4) the ionic‐pair supported case is suggested to be a very active catalyst, even towards inert propane, and can be used as a novel model catalyst for further improvements. The present work will be helpful in designing reactive hydroxyimide organocatalysts.     

苏丹红猝灭吖啶染料荧光的动力学研究

在体积分数95%乙醇介质中,吖啶黄、吖啶橙的荧光发射波长与苏丹红染料的吸收波长十分接近。实验数据表明,随着苏丹红I~IV用量的增加,溶液中吖啶黄、吖啶橙荧光发射强度明显降低,其荧光猝灭程度与苏丹红用量成正比。动力学研究表明苏丹红I,II与吖啶黄或吖啶橙之间可形成非共价复合物,从而发生静态荧光猝灭;而苏丹红III,IV猝灭吖啶黄或吖啶橙则表现为一种复杂的动力学特点,可能同时存在静态荧光猝灭与动态猝灭。
