Effects of estrogen-induced hyperlipidemia on the erythrocyte membrane in chicks

The effects of estrogen-induced hyperlipidemia on plasma lipid peroxidation, fatty acid composition and osmotic fragility of erythrocytes in chickens were studied. Young male chickens implanted with estrogen for three wk developed a marked hyperlipidemia. Plasma levels of triglyceride, cholesterol and phospholipid were elevated 68-, four- and 24-fold, respectively, over controls. There was also a two-fold increase in plasma lipid peroxidation measured by the thiobarbituric acid test. Vitamin E supplement (1,000 IU/kg diet) reduced the plasma lipid peroxidation to the control level, but had no effect on the plasma lipid content. Estrogen-induced hyperlipidemia resulted in changes in the fatty acid composition of membrane lipids of erythrocytes. The major changes were an increase in oleic acid from 10.0% to 14.2% and a decrease in linoleic acid from 31.3% to 26.0%. The erytrocytes with an altered membrane fatty acid composition were found to have an increased osmotic fragility. It was apparent that there was a direct correlation between the oleic acid content and the osmotic fragility of erythrocytes.     

Preparation of stable polyurethane-polystyrene copolymer emulsions via RAFT polymerization process

Stable polyurethane-polystyrene (PU-PS) copolymer emulsions were prepared by the polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA)-capped PU macromonomer and styrene, using azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN), a radical initiator, and 4-((benzodithioyl)methyl)benzoic acid, a reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent. As the molar ratio of the RAFT agent to AIBN increased, the zeta potential of the resulting copolymer emulsion increased, but the average size and size distribution of the emulsion droplets decreased. A living polymerization of HEA end-capped PU macromonomer and styrene was characterized by a linear increase in the molecular weight and decrease in the molecular weight distribution with consumption of monomers. The tensile strength, hardness and water-resistance of the copolymer films, prepared from the PU-PS copolymer emulsions, were much greater than those of the films prepared from the pure PU emulsion. The copolymer emulsions, prepared via the RAFT polymerization process, are expected to exhibit better storage stability than those prepared via the conventional free radical polymerization process, due to the presence of carboxyl groups derived from the RAFT agent at the PS block termini.

Kinetics of cellobiose decomposition under subcritical and supercritical water in continuous flow system

The effects of reaction temperature, pressure and residence time were investigated with a flow apparatus. Cellobiose decomposition kinetics and products in suband supercritical water were examined at temperatures from 320 to 420 °C at pressures from 25 to 40 MPa, and at residence times within 3 sec. Cellobiose was found to decompose via hydrolysis and pyrolysis. The yield of desired hydrolysis product, glucose, was the maximum value of 36.8% at 320 °C, 35 MPa, but the amount of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF), fermentation inhibitor increased too because residence time increased in the subcritical region owing to decrease of reaction rate. Meanwhile, though the yield of glucose is low in the supercritical region, the yield of HMF decreased compared with the subcritical region; and at the minimum yield of HMF (380 °C, 25 MPa), the yield of glucose was 21.4%. The decomposition of cellobiose followed first-order kinetics and the activation energy for the decomposition of cellobiose was 51.05 kJ/mol at 40MPa.     

考虑地层渗透性各向异性的堤防工程三维防渗结构优化分析

在透水地基上修建长堤防工程,堤基防渗结构的渗控效应直接影响堤防的安全运行。根据岷江干流虎渡溪工程库区长堤防工程地质条件,采用三维渗流分析方法,对堤基高喷防渗墙的布置结构进行优化分析。结果表明：高喷防渗墙可有效降低堤后地下水水位,减小库水向堤后低洼保护区域渗漏,但其渗控效应受防渗结构空间展布长度、深度与渗透性以及地层材料渗透性各向异性的影响。满足低洼保护区域不溢出要求的防渗墙最小展布长度随其布置深度的增大和施工质量的提高而减小,防渗墙渗透系数小于1×10^-5 cm/s并将透水性强的覆盖层截断时,其渗控效应明显,若进一步提升防渗墙质量和布置深度则效果不显著。防渗墙质量的提高对堤防渗控效应的提升受地层材料渗透性各向异性的影响较小,而布置深度增大在渗透性各向异性比较大时对渗控效应与防渗结构优化设计的影响较大。随着地层材料渗透性各向异性比的增大,防渗墙所需最小空间展布长度逐渐增大,由各向同性时的180 m增大到220 m,且当渗透性各向异性比较大时,可能有必要增加防渗墙布置深度。

Synthesis and characterization of new functional poly(urethane‐imide) crosslinked networks

To synthesize new functional poly(urethane‐imide) crosslinked networks, soluble polyimide from 2,2′‐bis(3,4‐dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride, 4,4′‐oxydianiline, and maleic anhydride and polyurethane prepolymer from polycaprolactone diol, tolylene 2,4‐diisocyanate and hydroxyl ethyl acrylate were prepared. Poly(urethane‐imide) thin films were finally prepared by the reaction between maleimide end‐capped soluble polyimide (PI) and acrylate end‐capped polyurethane (PU). The effect of polyurethane content on dielectric constant, residual stress, morphology, thermal property, and mechanical property was studied by FTIR, prism coupler, Thin Film Stress Analyzer (TFSA), XRD, TGA, DMTA, and Nano‐indentation. Dielectric constant of poly(urethane‐imide) thin films (2.39–2.45) was lower than that of pure polyimide (2.46). Especially, poly(urethane‐imide) thin films with 50% of PU showed lower dielectric constant than other poly(urethane‐imide) thin films did. Lower residual stress and slope in cooling curve were achieved in higher PU content. Compared to typical polyurethane, poly(urethane‐imide) thin films exhibited better thermal stability due to the presence of the imide groups. The glass transition temperature, modulus, and hardness decreased with increase in the flexible PU content even though elongation and thermal expansion coefficient increased. Finally, poly(urethane‐imide) thin films with low residual stress and dielectric constant, which are strongly affected by the morphological structure, chain mobility, and modulus, can be suggested to apply for electronic devices by variation of PU. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and characterization of eugenol‐grafted chitosan hydrogels and their antioxidant activities

The hydrogels composed of chitosan and eugenol were prepared to enhance and sustain antioxidant activities. The vinyl groups of eugenol monomer were directly grafted on the amino groups of chitosan, using ceric ammonium nitrate. The graft of eugenol onto chitosan was confirmed by using Fourier‐transform infrared and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. Results from the swelling behavior, thermal stability, and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction revealed that the equilibrium water content decreased with increase of graft yields, because of the hydrophobicity of eugenol, although the introduction of eugenol as a side chain disturbed the ordered arrangement of chitosan's crystalline structure. The eugenol‐grafted chitosan hydrogels showed lower pH sensitivity in comparison with chitosan alone, because the amino groups, which were pH sensitive, of chitosan were grafted with eugenol. The scavenging activity of the tested hydrogels increased with graft yield of eugenol, because phenolic groups in the eugenol could play a major role as potent free‐radical terminators, in the results of improved antioxidant activity in eugenol‐grafted chitosan hydrogel in comparison with chitosan alone. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
