Determination of nifedipine in dog plasma by high‐performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection

Nifedipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker used widely in the management of hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders. In this work, a simple, rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated to determine nifedipine in dog plasma using nimodipine as the internal standard. Chromatographic separation was carried out on a C₈ column. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of acetonitrile, water and formic acid (60:40:0.2, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. Detection was performed on a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer in selected reaction monitoring mode via an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization source. The method has a lower limit of quantification of 0.20 ng/mL with consumption of plasma as low as 0.05 mL. The linear calibration curves were obtained in the concentration range of 0.20–50.0 ng/mL (r = 0.9948). The recoveries of the liquid extraction method were 74.5–84.1%. Intra‐day and inter‐day precisions were 4.1–8.8 and 6.7–7.4%, respectively. The quantification was not interfered with by other plasma components and the method was applied to determine nifedipine in plasma after a single oral administration of two controlled‐release nifedipine tablets to beagle dogs.

Molecular‐Sieving Membrane by Partitioning the Channels in Ultrafiltration Membrane by In Situ Polymerization

Commercial ultrafiltration membranes have proliferated globally for water treatment. However, their pore sizes are too large to sieve gases. Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) feature well‐developed microporosity yet are difficult to be fabricated into membranes. Herein, we report a strategy to prepare molecular‐sieving membranes by partitioning the mesoscopic channels in water ultrafiltration membrane (PSU) into ultra‐micropores by space‐confined polymerization of multi‐functionalized rigid building units. Nine CMP@PSU membranes were obtained, and their separation performance for H₂/CO₂, H₂/N₂, and H₂/CH₄ pairs surpass the Robeson upper bound and rival against the best of those reported membranes. Furthermore, highly crosslinked skeletons inside the channels result in the structural robustness and transfer into the excellent aging resistance of the CMP@PSU. This strategy may shed light on the design and fabrication of high‐performance polymeric gas separation membranes.

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)的B3LYP方法,在6-311++G**水平上对CnAlm+(n=1～12,m=1,2)团簇的几何和电子结构进行了理论计算,讨论了混合团簇的结构与成键特征,以及振动频率与电荷转移.结果表明,CnAl+团簇的基态结构分别为Al原子与Cn链端基配位形成的直线或折线状结构,以及Al原子与Cn环上1个C原子端位相连或打开Cn环与2个C原子相连形成的环状结构;分子总的平均键长随着n的增大逐渐趋于定值0.138nm.CnAl+2团簇基态结构可以看作是两个较小的Cn/2Al+分子碎片通过端位C原子相互结合形成CcoreAlshell的直线或顺式与反式折线状结构;分子总的平均键长随着n的增大逐渐趋于定值0.141nm.通过对基态结构的能量分析,得到了CnAl+和CnAl+2团簇的稳定性信息.     

Hydroformylation of methyl-3-pentenoate over a phosphite ligand modified Rh/SiO2 catalyst

A phosphite ligand modified Rh/SiO2 catalyst has been developed for hydroformylation of internal olefins to linear aldehydes, which showed high activity and regioselectivity and could be separated easily by filtration after reaction in an autoclave. Effects of reaction temperature and syngas pressure on the performances of the catalyst in the reaction were also investigated.     

大麦高糖化力的遗传分析

混合von Mises 模型的参数估计

有限混合von Mises模型在天文学、生物学、地理和医药等许多领域都有重要的应用．可是,不论样本量有多大,此模型的似然函数都是无界的．因此,参数的最大似然估计(MLE)是不相合的．我们发现,与混合正态模型一样,上述困难可以通过引入关于分布浓度参数的一个惩罚函数或对参数空间添加适当的约束来克服．在此文中,我们从理论上证明了这两种方法是可行的,相应的参数估计是强相合的,且是渐近有效的．我们还通过计算机模拟来探讨这些新方法在有限样本情况下的统计性质,并与现有的矩估计作了比较．结果发现,惩罚极大似然估计在均方误差方面表现最佳．最后我们还分析了一组实际数据,以进一步介绍新的估计方法．
