An in vitro study on the dental caries preventing effect of oligomeric procyanidins in sorghum episperm

Procyanidins are abundant in sorghum episperm. In this study, the effects of procyanidins from Sorghum bicolor (L.) moench episperm (sorghum procyanidins, SPC) in preventing dental caries were investigated through analysis on SPCs’ effects on cariogenic bacteria and ability in scavenging superoxide anion free radicals. In addition, the SPC with activity in preventing dental caries were identified. The ESI-MS/MS analysis results revealed that the compositions of SPC purified by macroporous resin were dimmers, trimers, tetramers, pentamers and hexamers of procyanidins and catechin/epicatechin monomers. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of SPC on Streptococcus mutans (Ingbritt C) and Streptococcus sobrinus 6715 were 8 and 16 mg/ml, respectively. The SPC had a remarkable inhibition effect (P < 0.05) on acid production of S. sobrinus (Ingbritt C) and S. mutans 6715 compared with the control group, and a dose-dependent relationship was observed. By increasing the concentration of SPC in the experimental condition (200–600 mg/L), the scavenging ratio of superoxide anion radicals increased significantly, indicating that SPC could be used as a potential dental-caries-preventative medicine with its antibacterial and antioxidant ability.

The study of fission track and other crystalline defects using confocal scanning laser microscopy

Confocal scanning laser microscopy (SLM) is a technique that offers geologists a new way of studying structures in minerals at the submicrometre level. As an example we show how the non-destructive nature of confocal SLM can be used to measure and count fission tracks (line defects formed by the spontaneous fission of²³⁸U) in the uranium-bearing mineral apatite, and to provide information about the geometry and crystallographic orientation of fluid inclusions trapped inside apatite grains during crystallization. The technique also provides a means of studying the internal geometry of chemical zonation in minerals. The digitized nature of the SLM images makes them amenable to a variety of image analysis techniques, and we show how image analysis can be used to measure fission tracks in mica sheets and provide crude estimates of track dip. Finally, using a chemically etched mica sheet we show how confocal SLM can be used to provide a detailed near-surface (1–5 μm) analysis of geological materials.     

Kinetics of oxidative cracking of n‐hexane to olefins over VOx/Ce‐Al2O3 under gas phase oxygen‐free environment

The kinetics of oxidative cracking of n‐hexane to olefins using lattice oxygen of VO_x/Ce‐Al₂O₃ is investigated. The TPR/TPO analysis shows a consistent reducibility (79%) of VO_x/Ce‐Al₂O₃ in repeated redox cycles. The total acidity of the sample is found to be 0.54 mmol/g with 22% are strong acid sites that favors olefin selectivity. The oxidative cracking of n‐hexane in a fluidized CREC Riser simulator gives approximately 60% olefin selectivity at 30% n‐hexane conversion. A kinetic model is developed considering (1) cracking, (2) oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH), and (3) catalyst deactivations. The proposed cracking mechanism considers adsorption, C–H and C–C bond fission and desorption as elementary steps and implemented by pseudo steady state hypothesis. A Langmuir‐Hinshelwood mechanism is found to represent the ODH reactions. The developed model fits the experimental data with favorable statistical indicators. The estimated specific reaction rate constants are also found to be consistent with the product selectivity data. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 63: 130–138, 2017     

Proposal for selective isotope transmutation of long-lived fission products using quasi-monochromatic γ-ray beams

We have proposed a new selective isotope transmutation method using photonuclear reactions with quasi-monochromatic γ-ray beams. This method is based on the fact that the particle threshold of a long-lived fission product (LLFP) such as ⁹³Zr, ¹⁰⁷Pd, or ⁷⁹Se is lower than those of stable isotopes of the same chemical element. Therefore, this method has the excellent advantage that LLFPs cannot, in principle, be produced newly even if the target materials include stable isotopes in addition to LLFPs. Furthermore, this method is effective for ¹²⁶Sn, ^{135, 137}Cs, ⁹⁰Sr, and ³H. The nuclear data involved and suitable γ-ray sources are discussed. Laser Compton scattering γ-ray sources and neutron capture γ-rays in nuclear reactors are candidates for this method.

APATITE FISSION TRACK ANALYSIS AS A PALEOTEMPERATURE INDICATOR FOR HYDROCARBON EXPLORATION

Apatite Fission-Track Analysis(AFTA)is emerging as an important new tool for ther-mal history analysis in sedimentary basins.At temperatures between approximately 20℃ and150℃ over times of the order of 1 to 100 million years,fission tracks in apatite are an-nealed.This is due to a rearrangement of the damage present in unetched tracks,with theresult that less of a track is etchable than in fresh,newly created tracks.Because of this,thelength of an etched fission track reduces with increasing annealing,and in turn,the track den-sity(and hence the fission-track age) is also decreased.In selected boreholes in the OtwayBasin,southeastern Australia,apatites from the Otway Group show reduction in confinedfission-track length and apparent fission-track age,in a fashion characteristic of a simple ther-mal history in which samples are at or near their maximum temperatures at the present day.Track lengths show a steady decrease from lengths of approximately 15μm in outcrop ornear surface samples,to zero at abo
