硫黄促进剂体系用非迁移性助活性剂低聚物

本文报道的研究目的是开发迟效性促进剂硫黄硫化体系用助活性剂。这种添加剂可以提高交联键的形成速率而很少改变或者根本不改变混炼胶或其硫化胶的抗焦烧性性能或其他性能。本研究的另一目的是要设计一种具有慢效作用的硫化体系助活性剂。它不会从橡胶贴合制品(如轮胎)的一个部分迁移或者扩散到相邻的部分中去。本研究的初期阶段曾致力于评价一系列用作乳聚丁苯橡胶(SBR)硫化助活性剂的高分子量乙烯基吡啶二烯烃乳液共聚物。这些共聚物在室温下绝大部分是橡胶态的,它们都很容易分散于丁苯橡胶混炼胶中。使用乙烯基吡啶共聚物得到的初步结果是令人鼓舞的。     

A novel cyclodextrin-derived tellurium compound with glutathione peroxidase activity

A novel dicyclodextrinyl ditelluride (2-TeCD) compound was devised as a functional mimic of the glutathione peroxidase (GPX) enzymes that normally remove hydroperoxides from the cell. The GPX activity of the mimic was found to be 46.7 U microM(-1), which is 46 times as active as Ebselen, a well-known GPX mimic. A detailed steady-state kinetic study was undertaken to probe the reason for the high catalytic efficiency of 2-TeCD. This high efficiency can be explained based on both the binding of the substrate to the cyclodextrin and the catalytic mechanism of 2-TeCD, which is different from that of diselenide compounds. 2-TeCD exhibits good water solubility and is chemically and biologically stable. The biological effect of 2-TeCD was evaluated by its ability to protect mitochondria from oxidative damage. 2-TeCD exhibited excellent antioxidant capacity in comparison with Ebselen.

Biased distribution of the branched-chain fatty acids in ceramides of vernix caseosa

The compositions of ester- and amide-linked fatty acids from ceramides of human vernix caseosa were described with emphasis on the distribution of the branched-chain fatty acid (BCFA). Two novel ceramides were isolated from vernix caseosa in the course of this study: the acylated type of esterified α-OH-hydroxyacid/sphingosine ceramide (Cer[EAS]) and nonacylated type of non-OH fatty acid/hydroxysphingosine ceramide (Cer[NH]). Their chemical structures were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and chemical procedure. The Cer[EAS] was an acylceramide and consisted of the highest concentrations of ester- and amide-linked BCFA (62 and 67%, respectively). The iso- or anteiso-branching structures of the aliphatic chains were confirmed by the mass spectra of their picolinyl or pyrrolidide derivatives. As a whole, amide-linked fatty acids of ceramides 1–7 and Cer[NH] were normal types of straight-chain fatty acids with or without α- or ω-hydroxylation. The BCFA concentrations of amide-linked fatty acids in these ceramides (ceramides 1–7 and Cer[NH]) were low and less than 10%. The BCFA thus occurred exclusively in a novel acylceramide of Cer[EAS] in the vernix caseosa.     

Robust graph coloring based on the matrix semi-tensor product with application to examination timetabling

This paper investigates the robust graph coloring problem with application to a kind of examination timetabling by using the matrix semi-tensor product, and presents a number of new results and algorithms. First, using the matrix semi-tensor product, the robust graph coloring is expressed into a kind of optimization problem taking in an algebraic form of matrices, based on which an algorithm is designed to find all the most robust coloring schemes for any simple graph. Second, an equivalent problem of robust graph coloring is studied, and a necessary and sufficient condition is proposed, from which a new algorithm to find all the most robust coloring schemes is established. Third, a kind of examination timetabling is discussed by using the obtained results, and a method to design a practicable timetabling scheme is presented. Finally, the effectiveness of the results/algorithms presented in this paper is shown by two illustrative examples.     

Potential bile acid metabolites. 24. An efficient synthesis of carboxyl-linked glucosides and their chemical properties

A facile and efficient synthesis of the carboxyl-linked glucosides of bile acids is described. Direct esterification of unprotected bile acids with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-d-glucopyranose in pyridine in the presence of 2-chloro-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene as a coupling agent afforded a mixture of the α- and β-anomers (ca. 1∶3) of the 1-O-acyl-d-glucoside benzyl ethers of bile acids, which was separated effectively on a C₁₈ reversedphase chromatography column (isolated yields of α- and β-anomers are 4–9% and 12–19%, respectively). Subsequent hydrogenolysis of the α- and β-acyl glucoside benzyl ethers on a 10% Pd−C catalyst in acetic acid/methanol/EtOAc (1∶2∶2, by vol) at 35°C under atmospheric pressure gave the corresponding free esters in good yields (79–89%). Chemical specificities such as facile hydrolysis and transesterification of the acyl glucosides in various solvents were also discussed.

Formation of novel polymeric nanoparticles

We have found that not only block copolymers but also ionomers can self-assemble in a selective solvent to form surfactant-free nanoparticles. The self-assembly can be induced by chemical reaction, polymer-polymer complexation, and microphase inversion in addition to the temperature. A recently developed microwave method for the preparation of uniform surfactant-free polymeric nanoparticles is also reviewed. Our results have revealed that for a given dispersion, the particle surface area occupied per stabilizer (surfactant, polymer chains, and ionic groups) is close to a constant.     

Interaction between dietary protein and fat in triglyceride metabolism in the rat: Effects of soy protein and menhaden oil

The objective of the present study was to determine the mechanisms by which dietary proteins interact with dietary lipids in the regulation of triglyceridemia in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=56) were subjected to 28-d experimental diets containing different combinations of proteins (20% w/w) and lipid sources (14% w/w): (i) casein-menhaden oil, (ii) casein-beef tallow, (iii) soy protein-menhaden oil, and (iv) soy protein-beef tallow. Significant protein-lipid interactions were observed on triglyceridemia and hepatic cholesterol in fasted rats. The combination of casein and beef tallow was associated with high plasma TG and hepatic cholesterol concentrations, which were reduced by substitution either of soy for casein or of menhaden oil for beef tallow. Therefore, triglyceridemia and liver cholesterol remained low with soy protein feeding, independently of the lipid source, as well as with menhaden oil feeding, regardless of the protein source. The menhaden oil diets reduced plasma cholesterol, hepatic TG, and TG secretion compared with beef tallow diets independently of the dietary protein source. Modifying the source of dietary proteins and lipids had no effect on post-heparin plasma lipoprotein lipase activity. These results demonstrate that soy protein can lower rat triglyceridemia relative to casein when associated with beef tallow consumption, whereas menhaden oil can attenuate hypertriglyceridemia when rats are fed casein. The data further suggest that part of the hypotriglyceridemic effect of soy protein in the rat may be mediated by reduced hepatic lipid synthesis, as is the case for menhaden oil.
