Changes in the content and antioxidative activity of β-carotene and its metabolite vitamin A during gastrointestinal digestion and absorption and optimisation of HPLC-based detection

The β-Carotene (BC), an important precursor of vitamin A (VA), possesses antioxidant activity but is fat-soluble and has low bioavailability. In previous in-vitro assays evaluating antioxidant and 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) free radical scavenging, both BC and VA showed a strong ability to scavenge radicals and protected cells from oxidative stress. Here, we used artificially simulated gastrointestinal digestion and Caco-2 cell absorption models to evaluate the bioavailability of the BC during gastrointestinal digestion and absorption using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. We observed high absorptive and transfer rates of BC and detected retinol metabolites (Vitamin A). Therefore, BC can be detected in the acidic gastrointestinal environment using HPLC. Optimised method provided better separation of BC and VA in the column, improving the accuracy of the test results.     

Comparison of γ-aminobutyric acid accumulation capability in different mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) varieties under heat and relative humidity treatment,and its correlation with endogenous amino acids and polyamines

In this study, the accumulation of GABA and its inherent factors across different varieties of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) in response to heat and relative humidity (HRH) were investigated. Results showed the average GABA content in mung bean varieties was increased 7.52 times following HRH treatment, and the black mung bean variety (A8) exhibited the highest GABA accumulation capability (1.76–84.57 mg per 100 g DW). From the perspective of GABA shunt metabolites, the free glutamic acid content of mung beans significantly decreased (P < 0.05) after HRH treatment and presented a significant correlation (P < 0.05) with GABA content. In polyamine degradation pathway, although the average levels of spermine and spermidine of mung bean varieties significantly decreased (P < 0.05) after HRH treatment, no significant correlation with GABA content was identified. Hence, the GABA accumulation was predominantly attributed to GABA shunt. Besides, free amino acids including glutamic acid, serine, ornithine, arginine and glycine in mung beans showed a significant positive correlation (P < 0.05) with GABA content and increment following HRH treatment, which suggested that mung beans enriched in these free amino acids might accumulate higher amounts of GABA after HRH treatment and be useful for industrial applications.     

A Versatile Theranostic Nanoemulsion for Architecture‐Dependent Multimodal Imaging and Dually Augmented Photodynamic Therapy

To design a clinically translatable nanomedicine for photodynamic theranostics, the ingredients should be carefully considered. A high content of nanocarriers may cause extra toxicity in metabolism, and multiple theranostic agents would complicate the preparation process. These issues would be of less concern if the nanocarrier itself has most of the theranostic functions. In this work, a poly(ethylene glycol)‐boron dipyrromethene amphiphile (PEG‐F₅₄‐BODIPY) with 54 fluorine‐19 (¹⁹F) is synthesized and employed to emulsify perfluorohexane (PFH) into a theranostic nanoemulsion (PFH@PEG‐F₅₄‐BODIPY). The as‐prepared PFH@PEG‐F₅₄‐BODIPY can perform architecture‐dependent fluorescence/photoacoustic/¹⁹F magnetic resonance multimodal imaging, providing more information about the in vivo structure evolution of nanomedicine. Importantly, this nanoemulsion significantly enhances the therapeutic effect of BODIPY through both the high oxygen dissolving capability and less self‐quenching of BODIPY molecules. More interestingly, PFH@PEG‐F₅₄‐BODIPY shows high level of tumor accumulation and long tumor retention time, allowing a repeated light irradiation after a single‐dose intravenous injection. The “all‐in‐one” photodynamic theranostic nanoemulsion has simple composition, remarkable theranostic efficacy, and novel treatment pattern, and thus presents an intriguing avenue to developing clinically translatable theranostic agents.     

A Dynamic Memory Allocation Optimization Mechanism Based on Spark

Spark is a distributed data processing framework based on memory. Memory allocation is a focus question of Spark research. A good memory allocation scheme can effectively improve the efficiency of task execution and memory resource utilization of the Spark. Aiming at the memory allocation problem in the Spark2.x version, this paper optimizes the memory allocation strategy by analyzing the Spark memory model, the existing cache replacement algorithms and the memory allocation methods, which is on the basis of minimizing the storage area and allocating the execution area according to the demand. It mainly including two parts: cache replacement optimization and memory allocation optimization. Firstly, in the storage area, the cache replacement algorithm is optimized according to the characteristics of RDD Partition, which is combined with PCA dimension. In this section, the four features of RDD Partition are selected. When the RDD cache is replaced, only two most important features are selected by PCA dimension reduction method each time, thereby ensuring the generalization of the cache replacement strategy. Secondly, the memory allocation strategy of the execution area is optimized according to the memory requirement of Task and the memory space of storage area. In this paper, a series of experiments in Spark on Yarn mode are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the optimization algorithm and improve the cluster performance.     

不同粒度纳米碳酸钙的可控制备

不同粒度的纳米碳酸钙具有不同的特性和应用范围,目前不同粒度纳米碳酸钙的可控制备方法还未见报道。以氯化钙、碳酸铵为原料,以乙醇、柠檬酸和焦磷酸钠为分散剂,采用复分解法研究了不同制备条件对纳米碳酸钙粒径的影响规律,在此基础上制备出平均粒径为17~71 nm的碳酸钙,并对其进行了表征。实验结果表明,所制备的纳米碳酸钙均为球霰石型,纯度很高,而且形貌近似球形。制备条件对纳米碳酸钙的粒径有显著的影响：随着反应温度升高,纳米碳酸钙的粒径减小;随着氯化钙滴加时间的增加,纳米碳酸钙的粒径增大;随着反应物浓度的提高,纳米碳酸钙的粒径先减小后增大;当分散剂为柠檬酸和焦磷酸钠的混合溶液时所得纳米碳酸钙的粒径最小,当分散剂为乙醇和焦磷酸钠的混合溶液时所得纳米碳酸钙的粒径最大。利用这些影响规律通过控制制备条件可以实现所需粒径纳米碳酸钙的可控制备。
