Visual detection of melamine in milk products by label-free gold nanoparticles

A simple, rapid, field-portable colorimetric method for the detection of melamine based on melamine-induced color change of label-free gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) was developed in this study. Melamine can induced the aggregation of Au NPs and results in the color change from wine-red to purple, which provided a platform for rapid and field-portable colorimetric detection of melamine. The proposed method can be used to detect melamine in liquid milk and infant formula with a detection limit of 1.0 and 4.2 ppm, respectively, within 30 min by naked eyes observation without the aid of any advanced instrument and the need of any complex pretreatment, and detect as low as 0.15 ppm of melamine in liquid milk and 2.5 ppm of melamine in infant formula with UV-vis-spectroscopy. The proposed method is promising for on-site screening of melamine adulterant in milk products.     

Preparation,characterization and luminescent properties of spherical CaTiO3:Pr3+ phosphors by spray pyrolysis

In this paper, spherical Pr³⁺-doped CaTiO₃ phosphor particles were fabricated through a two-step spray pyrolysis process, using citric acid and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as additives. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), photoluminescence (PL), cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy, and lifetime measurements were employed to characterize these samples. The results reveal that the as-prepared CaTiO₃:Pr³⁺ phosphors are spherical with submicron particle size. The particles show a strong red emission corresponding to ¹D₂–³H₄ (612 nm) of Pr³⁺ under the ultraviolet excitation (325 nm) and low voltage electron beams (1–5 kV). Furthermore, the morphology, PL and CL intensities of the CaTiO₃:Pr³⁺ phosphors can be tuned by altering the concentration of PEG, annealing temperature, and acceleration voltage. These phosphors show potential applications in the field of field emission displays (FEDs).     

Morphology controllable synthesis and luminescence properties of NaLa(WO4)2:Eu microcrystals

NaLa(WO₄)₂:Eu microcrystals with shapes of four-arris shuttle, quadrangled star, and quadrangled dendrite were hydrothermally synthesized at 180 °C for 16 h. The concentration of the reactants and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) influenced the morphologies of the products. As La(NO₃)₃, Na₂WO₄ and CTAB was 0.375, 1.0, and 1.0 mmol, respectively, four-arris shuttle was obtained. As the concentration of the reactants doubled and the amount of CTAB ranged from 0.4 to 2.0 mmol, quadrangled dendrite, quadrangled star and four-arris shuttle were prepared, respectively. Luminescence intensity measurement of the three morphologies of NaLa(WO₄)₂:Eu showed that quadrangled dendrite was the strongest and four-arris shuttle was the lowest.     

基于抗肿瘤活性化合物MED烟酸类衍生物的设计及作用靶点

通过变性荧光素酶的再复性实验发现真菌环氧二烯(Mycoepoxydiene,MED)对热休克蛋白(Heat shock protein 90,Hsp90)具有抑制作用.Western Blot实验结果表明,MED影响人宫颈癌细胞株HeLa中Hsp70及Hsp90的客户蛋白质(Akt,Raf-1)的表达,表明MED是Hsp90的抑制剂.通过靶向对接技术预测了MED与人Hsp90 N端ATP结合位点的结合情况,并在此基础上发现,MED的烟酸类衍生物4-NDM与Hsp90的结合具有比MED与Hsp90更强的亲和作用.体外实验结果证明,MED的烟酸类衍生物4-NDM及3-NDM对HeLa细胞表现出比MED更强的细胞毒活性;可通过上调Hsp70,并下调Akt和Raf-1而影响HeLa细胞中Hsp90相关蛋白质的表达.由此推测,MED及其烟酸类衍生物可以通过抑制Hsp90,而使其客户蛋白Akt或Raf-1发生降解,发挥其抗肿瘤作用.

双金属氰化物催化二氧化碳与环氧丙烷聚合

研究了双金属氰化配合物(DMC)催化剂催化二氧化碳(CO2)与环氧丙烷(PO)的共聚及PO的均聚反应,考察了DMC催化剂的诱导现象。结果表明,共聚时DMC催化的诱导期比均聚短,尤其是在低CO2压力(1.0MPa)下更明显,诱导期由均聚时的45min缩短为共聚时的15min。共聚时诱导期随CO2压力升高而增加,当反应压力由1.0MPa升高至7.0MPa时,诱导期由15min增至40min。PO与CO2共聚时的引发现象不同于PO均聚:共聚引发时温度和压力突然异常升高并迅速降低至引发前的状态,而均聚引发时温度突然升高后逐渐下降。由此可知CO2能促进DMC催化剂的活化。
