Evaluation of metal-doped manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieves in catalytic reduction of NOx from cigarette mainstream smoke

A series of Ag, Cu and Co-doped manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieves (OMS-2) were synthesized and evaluated to remove nitrogen oxides (NO _x ) from cigarette mainstream smoke. The three kinds of catalysts were added to cigarettes for studying the capabilities of reducing NO _x from cigarette mainstream smoke. The catalysis and reduction of NO in laboratory were studied. A mechanism for NO _x catalytic reduction from burning cigarettes with the catalysts adding to cigarettes was described. The catalysts show excellent catalytic activity for NO _x removal, especially the Ag-doped OMS-2 catalyst. 0.5% (mass fraction) Ag-doped OMS-2 catalyst has the best ability to remove NO _x from cigarette mainstream smoke. The use of Ag-doped OMS-2 as catalyst for removing carcinogenic compounds from cigarette smoke will be an effective strategy to protect the environment and public health.     

甲硫嘧磺隆在小麦及土壤中残留的分析方法

建立了一种小麦和土壤中甲硫嘧磺隆残留的检测方法,采用层析柱和SPE小柱对样品进行净化、萃取,采用C18柱,以乙腈-0.5%冰乙酸混合溶剂为流动相,于236nm检测。在选定条件下该方法的最小检出量为0.35ng,籽粒和土壤中甲硫嘧磺隆的最低检测浓度为0.018mg/kg,植株中甲硫嘧磺隆的最低检测浓度为0.050mg/kg,甲硫嘧磺隆的质量浓度在0.1～5.0mg/L之间线性关系良好。在土壤和籽粒中以0.02、0.2、2.0mg/kg进行空白样品添加试验,平均回收率为92.14%～96.41%,变异系数为3.15%～9.45%之间,在小麦植株中以0.05、0.5、2.0mg/kg进行空白样品添加试验,平均回收率为86.93%～94.80%,变异系数为6.28%～8.30%之间。该方法的灵敏度、准确度、精密度均符合农药残留技术测定要求。     

Human plasma protein binding of water soluble flavonoids extracted from citrus peels

The human plasma protein binding of water soluble flavonoids in the peels of five spices of citrus fruits was studied by ultrafiltration combined with HPLC.The flavonoids were extracted separately by hot and cold water,and higher total flavonoid contents were detected in the former extracts than the latter ones.All the extracts show significant scavenging abilities to both ABTS and DPPH free radicals,which indicates the health benefits of the water extracts of citrus fruits peels.For DPPH radical,the IC50values of hot extract follow as Navel orange（NO）≈Mandarin orange（MO） Lemon（LE） Lo tangerine（LO） Pomelo（PO）,while the rank is NO POLE≈MOLO for ABTS radical.The HPLC results reveal that the kinds and contents of the flavonoids detected in the extracts are different among the species.MO extract has the most neohesperidin dihydrochalcone of 118.76 μmol/L and quercetrin of 211.81 μmol/L of which are much more than the rest extracts.Pomelo extract has the most plentiful flavonoids of naringin with a concentration of 303.28 μmol/L.The high contents of myricetrin and dihydromyricetin which both are potent free radical scavengers may explain the highest free radical scavenging activity of the NO extract.The plasma binding rates decrease with the increasing concentrations of flavonoids,and the flavonoids having plenty hydroxyl groups on both A ring and B ring of the molecular skeleton have relative higher plasma binding rates.In addition,the plasma binding rates of flavonoids with saturated C3-C4 bond decrease significantly with the increasing concentrations.
