Compositions and Biological Activities of Pomegranate Peel Polyphenols Extracted by Different Solvents

Pomegranate peel extract (PPE), which is abundant in polyphenols, holds immerse prospects for the treatment of airway infection. In this study, water and ethanol of 30%, 50%, and 80% were used to prepare PPE. A total of 18 phenols belonging to 8 categories of polyphenols were identified in PPE by HPLC-MS/MS. The PPE from the four extraction solvents possessed different antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities. Principal component analysis revealed that though total flavonoids (TFs), total polyphenols (TPs), and total tannins (TTs) were responsible for the reducing power of PPE, only TFs contributed to the effect of PPE in inhibiting lipid membrane peroxidation. TPs, TTs, and punicalagin were positively correlated with the antibacterial strength against S. aureus while TTs alone contributed to the inhibition of methicillin-resistant S. aureus, implying the crucial role of TT in suppressing bacteria. Meanwhile, TTs was associated with the prevention of IL-6 release. The PPE with higher contents of TPs, TTs, and punicalagin had a weaker capacity to decrease nitric oxide secretion. PPE of 30% ethanol gained the highest integrated score due to its stronger antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities. It is a suitable candidate for the therapy of respiratory tract infection.

连体构架避雷针风振计算的简化方法

为简化构架避雷针风振时域计算从而有效降低计算耗时,以单跨和三跨构架避雷针结构为例,根据构架体系的结构特性和风振特点,提出一种简化计算方法,即对每个塔架单独建模并考虑结构刚度和质量系统的一致性和横梁荷载的等效加载,从而对每个塔架单独进行动力计算,并对这种简化方法的合理性进行了验证。研究发现,构架避雷针的频率较小,风振效应较为显著,但在各方向均以一阶振型为绝对主力;构架避雷针的塔架在平面外的荷载耦联效应极小,平面内也仅表现有位移均值的耦联效应:这两个结构特性也为风振简化计算提供了便利。对每个塔架的简化模型,通过在塔架与原横梁连接处设置弹簧和附加质量来实现对原结构一阶振型的等效,并通过影响线法将横梁分布风荷载等效为塔架的集中荷载。由此简化方法所得的结构风振静动力响应结果均与原始结构有良好一致性,并且计算效率得以显著提升。     

悬臂梁中开闭裂纹的损伤识别

利用裂纹诱导弦挠度函数,建立了悬臂Euler-Bernoulli中开闭裂纹位置、深度、初始张开角等损伤参数的识别方法。为此,首先将梁中开闭裂纹等效为单向扭转弹簧,给出了考虑裂纹缝隙效应的裂纹梁等效抗弯刚度,并得到悬臂Euler-Bernoulli开闭裂纹梁弯曲挠度的显式闭合解及裂纹诱导弦挠度函数,证明了裂纹诱导弦挠度的分段线性函数。其次,基于单向扭转弹簧的性质,建立了通过多步加载进行梁中开闭裂纹参数及其上下侧属性的识别方法。最后,通过数值算例验证了本文所建立的开闭裂纹损伤识别方法的适用性和可靠性,考察了裂纹分布位置、深度和初始张开角以及裂纹识别区间和挠度测量误差等参数对识别结果的影响,结果表明:当裂纹处于张开状态时,裂纹处裂纹诱导弦挠度斜率改变量随着施加荷载的增加而增加;当裂纹闭合时,其裂纹诱导弦挠度斜率改变量将保持为常量;裂纹损伤参数的识别误差随测量误差的增加而增加,但整体识别结果具有较高的精度,较好的鲁棒性。

Laguerre Wavelet Approach for a Two-Dimensional Time–Space Fractional Schrödinger Equation

This article is devoted to the determination of numerical solutions for the two-dimensional time–spacefractional Schrödinger equation.

Then, we solve the discretized nonlinear problem by means of a collocation method. The method was proven to give very accurate results. The given numerical examples support this claim.     

基于萘普生-芳基金属配合物的抗癌及抗炎性能

以萘普生(NPX)为前体,分别与芳基钌(Ru)、锇(Os)及铱(Ir)二聚体反应制备了3个单核配合物[Ru(η⁶-p-cymene)(NPX-bpy) Cl]Cl (1),[Os (η⁶-p-cymene)(NPX-bpy) Cl]Cl (2)和[Ir(η⁵-Cp^*)·(NPX-bpy) Cl]Cl(3)。利用元素分析、电喷雾质谱和核磁共振波谱对3个配合物的组成和结构进行了表征,并研究了其细胞毒性。结果表明,3个配合物对几种肿瘤细胞株均无毒性(IC₅₀>100μmol/L),仅配合物1对NB-4细胞有中等程度的毒性(IC₅₀=45. 2μmol/L),且毒性大于配合物2和3,这可能与配合物1在细胞核内具有更高的富集量有关。此外,3个配合物均可有效抑制COX-2的表达,保留了萘普生的抗炎性质,实现了金属配合物抗癌及抗炎的多功能化应用。

Au负载SBA-15分子筛上葡萄糖氧化反应

探讨了金与铝改性的SBA-15分子筛催化剂(Au-Al/SBA-15)上活性中心与葡萄糖氧化制葡萄酸反应性能的关系.通过固体核磁共振波谱(ss NMR)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、紫外-可见光谱(UV-Vis)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)等手段对不同Au及Al含量的Au-Al/SBA-15催化剂进行了结构表征.发现Al改性能够在SBA-15载体上产生四配位Al物种,Au主要以单质的形式存在; SBA-15上的四配位Al物种具有稳定Au颗粒大小的作用.通过对比发现,催化剂上的Au和骨架四配位Al物种间的相互协作促进了对葡萄糖氧化的活性,而非骨架Al物种会导致副反应的发生,降低葡萄糖酸产物的选择性.通过固体13C NMR揭示了反应体系中的NaOH能够将强吸附的产物葡萄糖酸分子从催化剂表面解离,保持活性位不被覆盖进而促进反应持续进行.     

Stochastic and upscaled analytical modeling of fines migration in porous media induced by low-salinity water injection

Fines migration induced by injection of low-salinity water(LSW) into porous media can lead to severe pore plugging and consequent permeability reduction. The deepbed filtration(DBF) theory is used to model the aforementioned phenomenon, which allows us to predict the effluent concentration history and the distribution profile of entrapped particles. However, the previous models fail to consider the movement of the waterflood front. In this study, we derive a stochastic model for fines migration ...
