Dysamide U,a new trichlorinated diketopiperazine from the sponge Dysidea sp.

Dysamide U,a new tricblorinated diketopiperanne(1)along with seven known ones(2-8)were isolated from the sponge of Dysidea sp.collected from the Pacific ocean.The structure of dysamide U(1)was elucidated by high resolution FARMS and 1H NMR data induding COSY and RCT-COSY.     

Two Novel Poly-Oxygen Bipyridine Alkaloids from Speranskia tuberculata

In a previous paper' we reported two optically active pyridine-2, 6 (l H. 3H)-dionealkatoids speranskalines A and B from SPeranskia luberculala (Bge.) (Euphorbiaceae)We report here the isolation and structural elucidation of two novel poly-oxygenbipyridine alkaloids named speranculatines A (l) and B (2) from this plant.The acetone (or methanol) extract of the air-dried whole plants of .q. IllhelT.lllaluwas subjected to column chromatography on St gel to afford a fraction. whichdemonstrate…     

A new way to Prepare ts-2 with Silica sol as Silicon Source

The addition of suitable amounts of aqueous ammonia into precursor gel with silica sol as silicon source, TS-2 with small particle size and high titanium content has been successfully synthesized. It displays the same excellent performance in hydroxylation of phenol as the sample prepared with TEOS as silicon source.

Single-Mode Parabolic Gain-Guiding Optical Fiber with Core Diameter up to 200?μm

In this paper, a new type of gain guiding fiber is presented, with a parabolic-profile for both the gain and index guiding. Theoretical investigation shows that the core diameter of such fiber may be up to 200 μm while propagating with single-mode.     

Rheological properties of fresh and cryopreserved human arteries tested in vitro

Cryopreservation is widely used to preserve blood vessels for a while but is controversially suspected to affect the mechanical behavior of these allografts. The aim of this study was to determine whether differences in the three-dimensional mechanical behavior exist or not between fresh and cryopreserved arteries. Using a previously developed experimental system, in vitro inflation tests were performed on twenty segments of human fresh and cryopreserved arteries, in static conditions. Opening angles were also measured from images of rings in zero-stress state. The initial reference state was chosen as the unloaded state and tests were performed on specimens stretched at natural “in vivo” length. Mechanical measures calculated are “natural” (Hencky) strains (finite deformations), “true” (Cauchy) stresses in radial, circumferential, and longitudinal directions as well as strain energy per unit volume. Tangent moduli are derived from radial and circumferential stress-strain characteristics using non-linear curve fitting. Values of incremental and pressure-strain elastic parameters, wall stiffness, and compliance per unit length are also calculated. Results are presented in terms of characteristics of stresses and strains in the three directions, axial force, tangent moduli vs strains or stresses, and energy per unit volume, for both types of artery, with reference to transmural pressure. Detailed numerical results are given at mean transmural pressure or in the physiological range. Significant differences are indicated by statistic Student T-tests. Results obtained show that significant differences exist between rheological properties of fresh and cryopreserved segments of human artery. Strains, stresses, axial force, strain energy, and wall stiffness values highlight those differences whereas elastic parameters, compliance, and opening angle do not. The usefulness of some parameters to compare the mechanical behavior existing between fresh and cryopreserved arteries is therefore underlined.
