Structural characterization and biological activity of galactoglucan from Castanea mollissima Blume

Abstract

A galactoglucan (HCPA) was extracted from C. mollissima Blume fruits using hot water, which was composed of glucose and galactose, with a molecular weight of 5.5?kDa. Methylation and 1?D, 2?D NMR spectroscopy analysis showed that HCPA contained [→4)-α-D-Glcp(1→], [→4,6)-α-D-Glcp(1→], [→4)-β-D-Galp(1→] and [α-D-Glcp(1→] motifs in a molar ratio of approximately 6.11:1.08:1.00:1.03. HCPA showed a spherical-like structure as detected by scanning electron microscope (SEM). HCPA biological activity was investigated in vitro. The results showed that HCPA inhibited the proliferation of HeLa, MCF-7 and MGC-803 cells, induced HeLa cells apoptosis and arrested cell cycle in G2/M phase of HeLa cells. HCPA also enhanced the viability and phagocytic ability of RAW 264.7 cells and stimulated the production of NO, TNF-α and IL-6. The results demonstrated that HCPA had a potent antitumor and immunomodulating effects in vitro, suggesting its potential use as functional food and drug products.     

Dynamic phase transition and dynamic phase diagrams in the spin-5/2 Blume–Capel model under a time-dependent oscillating external field

We calculate the dynamic phase transition (DPT) temperatures and present the dynamic phase diagrams in the kinetic spin-5/2 Blume–Capel model under the presence of a time-dependent oscillating external magnetic field. First, we employ the Glauber transition rates to construct the mean-field dynamic equation. Then, we study the time variation of the average magnetization to find the phases in the system. We also investigate the behaviour of the dynamic magnetization to characterize the nature (continuous and discontinuous) of transition and to obtain the DPT points. We present the dynamic phase diagrams in two different planes. The phase diagrams include the ferromagnetic-5/2 (f_5/2), the ferromagnetic-1/2 (f_1/2) and paramagnetic (p) fundamental phases. In addition to these fundamental phases, we find 10 mixed phases, depending on the interaction parameters. The phase diagrams display many special points, such as a dynamic tricritical point, a double critical end point, a triple point and a quadruple point.     

GC-MS analysis of the bioactive phytoconstituents of various organic crude extracts from the seed kernels of Manilkara bidentata (balata) collected in Trinidad,W.I.

The present study reports the first phytochemical investigation of the seed kernels of Manilkara bidentata (Balata) harvested in Trinidad, W.I. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol and methanol extracts showed a total of 39 components. 2,6,10,14,18-pentamethyl-2,6,10,14,18-eicosapentaene (74.93%), 9-octadecenoic acid, (Z)- 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester (79.98%), (Z)-ethyl oleate (92.75%), Z,E-2-methyl-3,13-octadecadien-1-ol (80.51%) and 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furancarboxyaldehyde (50.32%) were the major constituents identified in the n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol and methanol extracts, respectively. The extracts showed the presence of several bioactive components and provides reference data for further research of its active constituents.     

土壤基质和芽体大小对水鳖冬芽萌发及早期生长的影响

为了弄清楚影响浮叶植物水鳖的早期生活的潜在因素,设计了一个3×2因子的室外实验来研究基质和冬芽对水鳖早期生活阶段的影响,即实验用的冬芽分成小、中、大3组,让它们分别在2种不同的土壤基质(沙、泥)中生长.实验结果表明,在相同的基质中,随着冬芽的不断增大,水鳖的萌发率、不同器官(根、茎、叶、叶柄)生物量和总生物量等都有相应的提高;相对来说,大的冬芽和沙基质有利于水鳖早期的萌发、构建和生存,而大的冬芽和泥基质则有利于萌发后水鳖的生长;生物量倾向于根部的分配方式,有利于植物度过不利的环境而更有利于它的生存.     

Multiple enzyme linked immunosorbent assay system on a capillary-assembled microchip integrating valving and immuno-reaction functions

Gastrodin is a bioactive constituent of rhizome in Gastrodia elata Blume (Orchidaceae) The aim of this study is to develop a rapid and sensitive liquid chromatographic method coupled to microdialysis sampling system to measure the unbound of gastrodin in rat blood, brain and bile. Microdialysis probes were simultaneously inserted into the jugular vein, brain striatum and bile duct of each anesthetized rat for sampling after the administration of gastrodin (100 or 300 mg kg⁻¹) through the femoral vein. Separation of unbound gastrodin from various biological fluids was applied to an RP-select B column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm). The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile–50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer–triethylamine (5:95:0.1, v/v/v, adjusted to pH 2.5 with orthophosphoric acid) with a flow rate of 1 mL min⁻¹. The UV detector wavelength was set at 221 nm. Fifteen minutes after the administration, the gastrodin reached the peak concentration in brain and bile. In addition, the results indicate that gastrodin penetrates the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and goes through hepatobiliary excretion.
