Modeling of CN-functionalized silica as vehicle for delivery of the chemotherapeutic agent: cisplatin

The adsorption of cisplatin and its complexes, cis-[PtCl(NH₃)₂]⁺ and cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂]²⁺, on a CN-functionalized SiO₂(111) surface has been studied by the atom superposition and electron delocalization method. The adiabatic energy curves for the adsorption of the drug and its complexes on the delivery system were considered. Electronic structure and bonding analyses were also performed. The molecules are adsorbed on the functionalized surface resulting in a major absorption of the cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂]²⁺ complex. The molecule?Csurface interactions are strengthened due to the incorporation of the CN silane group. The most important bonds occur through Pt?CC, Pt?CN and Pt?CSi interactions. Despite the new interactions, the functionalized carrier maintains its matrix properties after adsorption. The remarkable properties may be attributed to the small electronic structure changes in the Si?CCN groups caused by the interaction with neighboring cisplatin molecules and the enhancement in Pt-bonding interactions due to the surface incorporation of the CN silane groups.     

Study of pure annihilation decays B_(d,s)→D~0~0

Within the heavy quark limit and the hierarchy approximation λQCD mD mB, we analyze the B → D00 and Bs → D00 decays, which occur purely via annihilation type diagrams. As a rough estimate, we calculate their branching ratios and CP asymmetries in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach. The branching ratio of B → D00 is about 3.8×10-5 that is just below the latest experimental upper limit. The branching ratio of Bs → D00 is about 6.8×10-4, which could be measured in LHC-b. From the calculation, it is found that this branching ratio is not sensitive to the weak phase angle γ. In these two decay modes, there exist CP asymmetries because of the interference between weak and strong interaction. However, these asymmetries are too small to be measured easily.     

1-3型二维柱形凹面线聚焦换能器声场特性

设计并研制了柱面结构的1-3型复合材料凹面线聚焦换能器,在提高换能器带宽的同时,可以实现声场的线聚焦。将换能器内部PZT柱作为独立声源,应用瑞利积分和叠加原理,推导出了柱形凹面换能器总声场的理论表达式。通过仿真计算分析了换能器在聚焦线上的声场特点以及相关参数对聚焦性能的影响。对换能器参数做出合理设计,使换能器在实现线聚焦的同时,声场在聚焦线上的起伏较小,从而设计并制作出聚焦性能良好的线聚焦凹面换能器探头。实验测试结果表明采用本文方法计算得到的换能器声场与实测的声场分布基本符合,柱形凹面换能器在其几何焦点附近范围内均可实现聚焦,并在侧向上形成清晰的聚焦线,其聚焦线长度为换能器的侧向结构长度,在聚焦线上声场分布起伏较小。     

Cellulose filter paper immobilized α-glucosidase and its application to screening inhibitors from traditional Chinese medicine

In this study, α-glucosidase was successfully immobilized on cellulose filter paper and further applied to screening inhibitors from traditional Chinese medicines combined with capillary electrophoresis analysis. For α-glucosidase immobilization, a cellulose filter paper was used as the carrier and grafted with amino groups by coating chitosan, then α-glucosidase was covalently bonded on the amino-modified carrier via epoxy ring-opening reaction using polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether as the crosslinker. Several parameters influencing the enzyme immobilization were optimized and the optimal values were enzyme concentration of 4 U/mL, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether concentration of 1.25%, chitosan concentration of 7.5 mg/mL, immobilization pH 7.0, crosslinking time of 4 h and immobilization time of 2 h. The immobilized α-glucosidase exhibited good batch-to-batch reproducibility (RSD = 2.1%, n = 5), excellent storage stability (73.5% of its initial activity after being stored at 4°C for 15 days), and reusability (75% of its initial activity after 10 repeated cycles). The Michaelis constant of immobilized α-glucosidase and half-maximal inhibitory concentration of acarbose were calculated to be 1.12 mM and 0.38 μM, respectively. Finally, the immobilized α-glucosidase was used for screening inhibitors from 14 kinds of Traditional Chinese Medicine extracts, and Sanguisorbae Radix showed the strongest inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase.     

Selective Catalytic Isomerization of β-Pinene Oxide to Perillyl Alcohol Enhanced by Protic Tetraimidazolium Nitrate

A series of tetraimidazolium salts with different anions was prepared and applied in the isomerization of β-pinene oxide. After examining the activity of different catalysts, a remarkable enhancement of the selectivity of perillyl alcohol (47 %) was obtained over [PEimi][HNO₃]₄ under mild reaction conditions and using DMSO as the solvent. Furthermore, noncovalent interactions between solvent molecules and the catalyst were found by FT-IR spectroscopy and confirmed by computational chemistry. The homogeneous catalyst showed excellent stability and was reused up to six times without significant loss.

抗坏血酸和尿酸在胶束体系中的电化学行为及选择性测定的应用

以玻碳电极为工作电极,在PBS中用循环伏安法研究了抗坏血酸(AA)和尿酸(UA)在胶束体系中的电化学行为。在溴化十六烷基吡啶(CPB)胶束体系中,AA和UA的氧化峰电流增加,峰电位负移;在十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)胶束体系中,AA和UA的氧化峰电流减小,峰电位正移。在CPB中,AA和UA的氧化峰电位相差约270 mV,以此建立了AA和UA的同时测定方法。用微分脉冲伏安法测定AA和UA的氧化峰电流分别在1.0×10-6~1.0×10-2mol/L和5.0×10-7~1.0×10-3mol/L的范围内与各自的浓度范围呈良好的线性关系。在200倍AA共存时UA的检出限为5.0×10-6mol/L。此方法可应用于人体尿样中UA的测定,结果令人满意。
