A Portable Plasma Sterilizer

An atmospheric microplasma jet system powered by an commercial transformer is developed for investigating the sterilizing efficiency of Escherichia coli in different conditions. The device can be hand-held and operated in the open air. The effect of carrier gas, gas flow rate, distance and treatment time of inactivation is studied. According to the experiment, plasma jet is able to inactivate all the bacteria on the surface in 20 s when the air flow rate is 5 L/min and the distance is 2.0 cm. Besides, the sterilization efficacy with different carrier gas follows an order as bellow: N₂ > air > O₂ > Ar. The measurements of malondialdehyde content, protein leakage quantity and Mg content are performed as well. In addition, the SEM after plasma treatment reveals that the integrity of E. coli cells is damaged and intracellular particles are excreted into the extracellular space. With discussions upon the mechanisms of surface sterilization, it is found that during the treatment of microplasma, it is mainly the etching actions of electrons and ions on the bacilli that kill the E. coli. Chemical effects rather than physical ones that are responsible for inactivation. Furthermore, the experiment results suggest that there may be better sterilization effect with gas mixture as carrier gas.     

Structure Characterization and Lead Detoxification Effect of Carboxymethylated Melanin Derived from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lachnum</Emphasis> Sp.

In the present study, an intracellular melanin, named LIM205, was separated from Lachnum YM205 mycelia and was purified on a Sephadex G-15 column. The molecular weight of LIM205 was determined as 522 Da, and its molecular formula was speculated as C₂₈H₁₄N₂O₇S. The possible chemical structure of LIM205 was determined according to the results of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and pyrolysis/GC-MS analysis. With the aim to increase its water solubility, its carboxymethylated derivative, named CLIM205, was formed by the substitution of hydrogen atoms in LIM205 with one, two, and three carboxymethylate groups. FT-IR, UV, and ESI-MS analysis demonstrated that the carboxymethylate groups were conjugated onto LIM205. The lead detoxification activities of LIM205 and CLIM205 had also been investigated. In vivo test showed that both LIM205 and CLIM205 reduced the tissue lead concentration, enhanced lead excretion, and reversed lead-induced alterations in superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in mice, with CLIM205 showed better efficacy. The study indicates that LIM205 and CLIM205 have significant lead detoxification effect which will contribute to solve related problems.     

含三次耦合项的两自由度Duffing系统的共振及混沌行为

研究了一类含三次耦合项的两自由度Duffing系统的动力学行为。首先应用多尺度方法近似求解系统的一阶稳态响应。通过讨论系统的主共振和1∶1内共振,分析了三次耦合项对系统响应的影响。随后研究系统随外加周期力强度变化的分岔过程,发现除了常见的倍周期分岔通向混沌外,还存在一种直接由周期运动进入混沌的突发路径。结合对系统的最大Lyapunov指数,相轨图及Poincar啨映射的分析验证了上述结论。

Estimation of Physico-chemical Properties of Ionic Liquid EPReO_4 Using Surface Tension and Density

An ionic liquid (IL) EPReO₄ (N‐ethylpyridinium rheniumate) was prepared. The density and surface tension values of the IL were determined in the temperature range of 293.15–343.15 K. The ionic volume and surface entropy of the IL were estimated by extrapolation, respectively. In terms of Glasser's theory, the standard molar entropy and lattice energy of the IL were estimated, respectively. Using Kabo's and Rebelo's methods, the molar enthalpy values of vaporization of the IL, Δ^g_lH⁰_m (298 K), at 298 K and, Δ^g_lH⁰_m (T_b), at hypothetical normal boiling point were estimated, respectively. According to the interstice model, the thermal expansion coefficient of IL EPReO₄ (α) was calculated and compared with experimental value, finding their magnitude order is in good agreement by 8.98%.

Ring-Opening Copolymerization of 2,2-Dimethyltrimethylene Carbonate and ε-Caprolactone Using Rare Earth Aryloxides Substituted by Various Alkyl Groups

A variety of single component rare earth aryloxides substituted by various alkyl groups [Ln(OAr)₃] such as methyl, isopropyl, tert‐butyl have been surveyed in the ring‐opening copolymerization of 2,2‐dimethyltrimethylene carbonate (DTC) and ε‐caprolactone (ε‐CL). It was worthwhile to note that activity of the catalyst varied with both the ligands' structure and the number of alkyl groups on phenyl ring. The stronger ability of electron‐donation of alkyl groups on phenyl ring, and the more numbers of alkyl groups on phenyl ring, the higher catalytic activity. The experimental results show that lanthanum tris(2,4,6‐tri‐tert‐butylphenolate) [La(OTTBP)₃] exhibits highest activity in all lanthanum aryloxides. ¹H NMR spectral data of copolymer obtained showed that the polymerization mechanism is in agreement with the coordination insertion mechanism.     

Kinetic comparison between ferric ion and decamethyferrocene at the liquid/liquid interface as studied by scanning electrochemical microscopy

<正>Comparison in electron transfer(ET) processes from decamethyferrocene(DMFe) in nitrobenzene(NB) to ferric ion in aqueous phase was investigated for the first time by the scanning electrochemical microscopy(SECM).As compared with the system of Fe(CN)_6~(3-)-DMFe,the ET rate obtained from Fe~(3+)-DMFe was lower in spite of larger driving force,which may arise from the effect of reorganization energy.Otherwise,the effect of common ion on rate constants was also probed and results suggested additional complexity of the ET mechanism between Fe(CN)_6~(3-) and DMFe.
