Direct melting polycondensation and characterization of poly(ɛ-caprolactone-co-lactic acid)

A kind of biodegradable material, poly(ɛ-caprolactone-co-lactic acid) [P(CL-co-LA)] was synthesized via the direct melting polycondensation of lactic acid (LA) and ɛ-caprolactone (CL). The influences of the polycondensation time, and the catalyst type on the intrinsic viscosity of P(CL-co-LA) were also investigated. The results indicate that P(CL-co-dl-LA), with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.4733 dL/g, can be prepared by direct melting polycondensation with the molar ratio LA/CL = 3:7 at 180°C and 70 Pa for 12 h, using 0.5% (mass fraction) of SnCl₂ as the catalyst. Compared with lactide ring-opening polycondensation (ROP), the direct melting polycondensation of LA and CL is more practicable and simple.

Different protein expression of myocardium from Chinese mini-swine model of myocardial infarct

High-resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), followed by computer-assisted image analysis was used to screen protein patterns of normal and infarcted myocardial tissues for quantitative and qualitative differences in protein expression. In the gels of pH 5–8 immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips, 851 protein spots were detected in normal myocardial tissue and 1 032 protein spots were resolved in infarcted myocardial tissue. Thirteen protein spots only expressed in normal myocardial tissue, and 14 protein spots only expressed in infarcted myocardial tissue. Results also showed that 49 protein spots displayed quantitative changes in expression between normal and infarcted myocardial tissue. Eleven protein spots were subjected to mass spectrometry (MS) analysis and seven proteins were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF). These proteins may be involved in cardiovascular injury, and could play an important role in the treatment of coronary heart disease. __________ Translated from Chemical Journal of Chinese Universities, 2006, 8(27): 1467–1471 [译自: 高等学校化学学报]     

TiO(2) porous electrodes with hierarchical branched inner channels for charge transport in viscous electrolytes.

Titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) photoelectrodes with micro/nano hierarchical branched inner channels have been prepared by an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) technique and assembled to form dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Excellent penetration of ionic-liquid electrolytes and enhanced light harvesting in the longer wavelength region are realized within the composite-structure electrode, thus a better fill factor (ff) of 75.3 % and higher conversion efficiency (eta) of 7.1 % are obtained for viscous ionic-liquid electrolytes compared to pure nanostructured films. Hierarchical branched channels in the photoanodes can efficiently improve the transport properties of redox-active species in viscous electrolytes, which is demonstrated by electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The incident monochromatic photon-to-electron conversion efficiency (IPCE) shows that enhanced light scattering in the composite film is of benefit for light harvesting and thus for solar energy conversion efficiency.

High-throughput purification of combinatorial libraries I: a high-throughput purification system using an accelerated retention window approach

We have developed a high-throughput purification system to purify combinatorial libraries at a 50-100-mg scale with a throughput of 250 samples/instrument/day. We applied an accelerated retention window method to shorten the purification time and targeted one fraction per injection to simplify data tracking, lower QC workload, and simplify the postpurification processing. First, we determined the accurate retention time and peak height for all compounds using an eight-channel parallel LC/UV/MS system, and calculated the specific preparative HPLC conditions for individual compounds. The preparative HPLC conditions include the compound-specific gradient segment for individual compounds with a fixed gradient slope and the compound-specific UV or ELSD threshold for triggering a fraction collection device. A unique solvent composition or solvent strength was programmed for each compound in the preparative HPLC in order to elute all compounds at the same target time. Considering the possible deviation of the predicted retention time, a 1-min window around the target time was set to collect peaks above a threshold based on UV or ELSD detection. Dual column preparative instruments were used to maximize throughput. We have purified more than 500 000 druglike compounds using this system in the past 3 years. We report various components of this high-throughput purification system and some of our purification results.

非放射性长余辉磷光粉作为美化和清洁光源在发光陶瓷、交通安全标志、紧急突发事件的照明设施、工艺美术涂料等众多领域得到越来越广泛的应用,引起人们的重视.到目前为止,文献报道的稀土长余辉磷光体的激活离子主要有铕离子(Eu3+和Eu2+[1-4]、三价铈离子(Ce3+)[5]、三价铽离子(Tb3+)[6]、三价镨离子(Pr3+)[7]、三价钐离子(Sm3+)[8].Ho3+,Er3+,Tm3+等稀土离子作为红外上转换发光材料的激活离子[9～12],而关于它们的长余辉发光的报道极少.最近,雷炳富等在Tm3+离子[13]激活的硫氧化钇体系中发现了长余辉发光.在此,我们通过高温固相法合成了Er3+,Ho3+和Tm3+掺杂的硫氧化钆长余辉磷光粉,观察到该体系中迄今未见文献报道的Er3+,Ho3+和Tm3+离子的长余辉发光.     

具有生物活性的N-(1-二茂铁亚乙基氨基)-N''-β-D-吡喃糖基硫脲的合成与表征

Several novel N′-[（1-ferrocenylethylidene）amino]-N′-β-D-glycopyranosylthioureas have been efficiently synthesized via a six-step procedure, utilizing three monosaccharides （D-glucose, D-galactose and D-xylose） as starting materials, respectively. They have been preliminarily determined to display biological activity against certain fungi. The target compounds have been unambiguously characterized by spectroscopic method and elemental analysis. An initially alternative synthetic route, which was seemingly reasonable, has been excluded due to its inefficiency.
