A New Asterosaponin from the Starfish Culcita novaeguineae

A new asterosaponin named novaeguinoside A, along with a known saponin, asteronyl pentaglycoside sulfate, was isolated from the starfish Culcita novaeguineae. The new compound was identitied to be sodium 6α-O-{β-D-fucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-fucopyranosyl-(1→4)-[β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-[β-D-quinovopyranosyl}-5α-pregn-9(11)-en-20-one-3β-yl-sulfate by extensive spectral analysis and chemical evidence.     

Determination of Organophosphorus Pesticides in Soil by MMSPD-GC-NPD and Confirmation by GC-MS

A novel method, modified matrix solid-phase dispersion (MMSPD), has been developed for quantitative analysis of organophosphorus pesticide residues in soil. It was based on matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) and continuous liquid-solid extraction (continuous LSE), using Florisil as sorbent and dichloromethane as the recycling solvent. Two soils with different texture and physicochemical properties were studied to validate the method. The effect of residence time of pesticides in soil was also studied. MMSPD was compared with MSPD and continuous LSE respectively. Determination was carried out by gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection (GC-NPD). The method gave recoveries ranging from 72–105% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) lower than 15% for the pesticides studied. The limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 0.1 to 0.6 ng g⁻¹. Two pesticide residues have been detected in real soil samples from Fujian, China, using MMSPD. The pesticides were confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in a selected-ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Revised: 4 and 9 April 2006     

Improvements on radiochemical method for the determination of Am and Cm in typical waste streams from nuclear power plants

The determination of Am and Cm in typical waste streams from nuclear power plants using anion exchange chromatography has some drawbacks like the contamination by Pu and Po. This improved procedure solves these problems, and it has been applied with success to the analysis of Am and Cm in nuclear waste samples: ion exchange resins, ion exchange resins solidified with cement and evaporator concentrates.     

THE EFFECTS OF PERFUSION OF LATERAL VENTRICLE WITH CaCl_2 ON THE FEBRILE RESPONSE AND cAMP CONTENT IN PLASMA AND CEREBROSPINAL FLUID DURING LP-INDUCED FEVER

Artificial cerebrospinal fluid (c.s.f.) containing 40 mmol/L excess calcium was perfus-ed through the lateral ventricles of New Zealand white rabbits in order to reduce the Na~+/Ca~(++) ratio in the brain and the effects on both the febrile response and adenosine cyclic mo-nophosphate (cAMP) concentration in plasma and c.s.f, during leucocytic pyrogen (LP)-induced fever were observed. The results showed that cAMP concentration in c.s.f, increas-ed significantly during LP-induced fever while the cAMP level in Plasma remained unchang-ed, and the perfusion of artificial c.s,f, containing 40 mmol/L excess calcium can signif-icantly inhibit not only the febrile response but also the increase in c.s.f, cAMP level,while there appears no effect on plasma cAMP concentration, thus demonstrating that theincrease of Na~+/Ca~(++) ratio causing the increase of cAMP content in the brain may be anessential link in the pathogenesis of LP-induced fever.     

溶剂萃取法制备碳酸盐的热力学讨论

向金属氯化物(Ⅰ)的水溶液中通入CO_2气体,以期制备相应的碳酸盐和酸式碳酸盐,在常温常压下,体系的△G>0,反应几乎是不可能的。向反应体系中加入有机溶剂(S),使生成的HCl即被萃取,可促进Ⅰ的继续转化。分析计算表明,S对HCl必须有很强的萃取能力,其K_萃须在10~5以上。研究了加入有机溶剂N_(235)前后,体系的热力学状态、函数及其变化。加入N_(235)后,K_萃值增大了5个数量级。考察了温度、时间和通气次数对系统热力学性质的影响。根据反应的耦合原理和热力学分析,提出萃取剂选择的原则。结合实验数据的估算说明:溶剂萃取法由Ⅰ和CO_2制备碳酸盐的工艺路线是可行的。
