Simultaneous determination of cinnamaldehyde and its metabolite in rat tissues by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry

Cinnamaldehyde (CA), an active ingredient isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Cortex Cinnamomi, has a wide range of bioactivities. To clarify the distribution characteristics of CA, a selective and sensitive method utilizing gas chromatography–mass spetrometry was initially developed for simultaneously determining the concentration of CA and its metabolite cinnamyl alcohol in rat tissues. Selected ion masses of m/z 131, 105 and 92 were chosen, and separation of the analytes was performed on a DB‐5 ms (30 m × 0.25 mm, 0.25 µm, thickness) capillary column by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The calibration curves demonstrated good linearity and reproducibility over the range of 20–2000 and 20–4000 ng/mL for various tissue samples. Recoveries ranged from 86.8 to 107.5%, while intra‐ and interday relative standard deviations were all <11.3%. The analysis method was successfully applied in tissue distribution studies for CA and cinnamyl alcohol. As CA and cinnamyl alcohol may inter‐convert to one another, simultaneous determination of both analytes provides a comparative and accurate data for tissue study. The concentrations of CA and cinnamyl alcohol remaining in spleen were the highest among the main organs, including heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and brain. In addition, there was no long‐term accumulation of CA in rat tissues. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

仿生非光滑花纹沟对轮胎抗滑水性能的影响

以205/55R16乘用车轮胎为研究对象,采用计算流体动力学建立了考虑胎面花纹变形的轮胎滑水分析模型;以气-液二相流数值模型分析了轮胎的滑水性能,并将临界滑水速度仿真值与NASA滑水速度预测值及轮胎发生滑水时力平衡下的速度进行对比.在此基础上,引入仿生减阻理念,研究了夹角为60°、高度为0.6mm的仿生对称V形结构对花纹沟排水量和水流阻力的影响,并将其结构特征信息等效移植到接地区轮胎花纹沟底,进行了仿生花纹轮胎的滑水性能分析.结果表明:所建滑水分析模型可用来分析轮胎滑水时的流体运动特性;相对原花纹轮胎,仿生非光滑花纹沟轮胎通过提高接地区花纹沟内水流速度,降低了胎面动水压力,提高了临界滑水速度.     

THz wave emission from argon in two-color laser field

Terahertz(THz) wave emission from argon atom in a two-color laser pulses is studied numerically by solving the one-dimensional(1D) time-dependent Schr ¨odinger equation. The THz spectra we obtained include both discontinuous and continuum ones. By using the special basis functions that we previously proposed, our analysis points out that the discontinuous and continuum parts are contributed by bound–bound and continuum–continuum transition of atomic energy levels. Although the atomic wave function is strongly dressed during the interaction with laser fields, our identification for the discontinuous part of the THz wave shows that the transition between highly excited bound states can still be well described by the field-free basis function in the tunneling ionization regime.
