Comparison of the Antioxidant Activities and Polysaccharide Characterization of Fresh and Dry Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo

It is generally believed that fresh Dendrobium officinale (FDO) has more significant pharmacological activity than dried Dendrobium officinale (DDO); however, the difference has not been clearly shown. Our study compared their antioxidant properties both in vitro and in vivo, and the molecular weight arrangement and monosaccharide composition of the fresh Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides (FDOPs) and the dried Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides (DDOPs) were analyzed by HPLC-GPC and GC-MS. The results showed that the FDO and its polysaccharides had more significant effects on scavenging DPPH, ABTS, and hydroxyl radicals than the DDO. In addition, both the FDO and DDO significantly reduced lipid peroxidation levels and increased the SOD, T-AOC, CAT, and GSH levels in mice with acute liver damage caused by CCl₄, while the FDO and its polysaccharides were more effective. Histopathological analysis further verified the protective effect of the Dendrobium polysaccharides on CCl₄-induced liver injury. The determination of the polysaccharides revealed that the polysaccharide and mannose contents of the FDO were significantly higher than their dried counterparts, and the homogeneous arrangement of the polysaccharides in the FDO was degraded into three polysaccharide fragments of different molecular weights in the DDO. Overall, our data identified differences in the antioxidant activities of the FDO and DDO, as well as the reasons for these differences.     

Comparative Metabolomic Analysis of Moromi Fermented Using Different Aspergillus oryzae Strains

Aspergillus oryzae (A. oryzae) is an important starter in the fermentation of koji and moromi. However, the effect of different A. oryzae strains on the quality of moromi has rarely been studied. For this reason, this study analyzed the physicochemical properties, enzyme activity, sensory quality, and metabolite profiles of moromi samples fermented using two strains (A. oryzae KCCM12012P (moromi-1) and KCCM12804P (moromi-2)), which were newly isolated from fermented soy foods, and compared them to those of a commercialized A. oryzae strain (control). Amino-type nitrogen contents of moromi-1 and moromi-2 samples were higher than that of control moromi, and their amylase and protease activities were also higher. Moreover, metabolite profiles of moromi were significantly altered according to strains. In particular, the levels of many amino acids, peptides, nucleotides, and acidic compounds were altered, which resulted in changes in the sensory quality of moromi. Although volatile compounds were not investigated, the results suggested that the quality of moromi was significantly different for newly isolated strains, especially A. oryzae KCCM12804P, and they were superior to the commercial strain in terms of taste-related substances. Therefore, these strains could be used as good starters to produce moromi and soy sauce with good sensory quality.     

Antimicrobial Activity of Smilax china L. Root Extracts against the Acne-Causing Bacterium,Cutibacterium acnes,and Its Active Compounds

The root of Smilax china L. is used in traditional Korean medicine. We found that the Smilax china L. root extract has strong antimicrobial activity against two Cutibacterium acnes strains (KCTC 3314 and KCTC 3320). The aim of this study was to identify the beneficial properties of Smilax china L. extracts for their potential use as active ingredients in cosmetics for the treatment of human skin acne. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/QTOF/MS) methods were used to obtain the profile of secondary metabolites from the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of the crude extract. Agar diffusion and resazurin-based broth microdilution assays were used to evaluate antimicrobial activity and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC), respectively. Among the 24 metabolites, quercetin, resveratrol, and oxyresveratrol were the most potent compounds against Cutibacterium acnes. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of quercetin, resveratrol, and oxyresveratrol were 31.25, 125, and 250 μg/mL, respectively.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 5-（p-Toly1）-4- [2-（2,4-dichlorophenoxy）acetamido]-l,2,4- triazole-3-thione Ethyl Acetate Solvate

A novel compound 5-（p-tolyl）-4-[2-（2,4-dichlorophenoxy）acetamido]-1,2,4-tria zole- 3-thione 2a has been synthesized by the reaction of 5-（p-tolyl）-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione 1 with 2-（2,4-dich/orophenoxy）acetyl ch/oride. Interestingly, the title compound 2 was obtained when 2a crystallizes from a mixed solution of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate, and it has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ^1H NMR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 9.780（5）, b = 10.876（6）, c = 11.615（6） /A, a = 104.822（7）, β= 94.105（6）, ）, = 94.305（6）°, V= 1185.7（11）/A3, Z = 2,μ = 0.397 mm^-1, Mr= 497.39, Dx= 1.393 g/cm^3, F（000） = 516, S = 1.097, the final R = 0.0730 and wR = 0.2133 for 4111 unique reflections （Rint = 0.0525） with 3212 observed ones. The dihedral angles made by the triazole ring with the methyl- and chloro-substituted benzene rings are 43.5（7） and 50.2（9）°, respectively. Some intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds together with C-H…π interactions existing in the lattice stabilize the crystal structure.

跌落冲击载荷下焊锡接点金属间化合物层的动态开裂

跌落冲击载荷作用下,含铅焊锡接点与无铅焊锡接点的破坏模式明显不同,而导致这种差异的原因目前尚不明朗.论文提出了一种可用于模拟焊锡接点在跌落冲击载荷下破坏行为的有限元模型,此模型中,金属间化合物(IMC)与焊料间的界面采用粘性区模型(CZM)来模拟其损伤开裂过程,而IMC层内的破坏程度则通过计算其能量释放率来判断.通过对板级封装跌落冲击过程的数值模拟发现,与无铅焊锡接点(Sn3.5Ag)相比,含铅焊锡接点(Sn37Pb)与IMC间的CZM层更容易发生损伤破坏,而该层的开裂会减小IMC层的应力,即降低了其内部的开裂驱动力,从而缓解了IMC层裂纹的起始和扩展.     

用内聚力模型研究PBGA封装焊点/IMC界面的分层开裂

塑料球栅阵列封装PBGA的可靠性分析中,考虑封装过程中SnAgCu焊料与铜焊盘界面间产生的金属间化合物(Intermetallic compound,IMC)的影响,并引入内聚力模型(Cohesive zone model,CZM),利用ANSYS对热循环作用下焊点/IMC界面的脱层开裂情况进行研究.结果表明:热循环作用下,在封装器件中焊点承受较大的应力应变,且远离中心的外侧焊点具有比内侧焊点更大的应力应变.IMC的存在极大的降低了焊点的可靠性.界面分层最先发生在最外侧的IMC/焊点界面的两端,随着热循环次数的增加,分层逐渐沿着界面两端向里扩展.在热循环的前几个阶段,各个界面的最大损伤值增大较快,随着热循环的继续加载,界面最大损伤值逐渐趋于稳定.整个过程中四号焊点界面的损伤值始终最大.
