Chiral separation of underivatized amino acids in supercritical fluid chromatography with chiral crown ether derived column

The supercritical fluid chromatographic separation of underivatized amino acids was explored using immobilized chiral crown ether column CROWNPAK CR-I (+) and mass spectrometric detection. The type of modifier, acidic additives, and the role of water were investigated. Enantioseparation was achieved for all 18 amino acids investigated with short retention times (less than 3 minutes) and average resolution of greater than 5.0. Analysis of enantiomerically pure standards demonstrated the D enantiomer eluted first for all amino acids using a CROWNPAK CR-I (+) column.

Exosome biogenesis,secretion and function of exosomal miRNAs in skeletal muscle myogenesis

Exosomes are membrane‐bound extracellular vesicles that are produced in the endosomal compartment of most mammalian cell types and then released. Exosomes are effective carriers for the intercellular material transfer of material that can influence a series of physiological and pathological processes in recipient cells. Among loaded cargoes, non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) vary for the exosome‐producing cell and its homeostatic state, and characterization of the biogenesis and secretion of exosomal ncRNAs and the functions of these ncRNAs in skeletal muscle myogenesis remain preliminary. In this review, we will describe what is currently known of exosome biogenesis, release and uptake of exosomal ncRNAs, as well as the varied functions of exosomal miRNAs in skeletal muscle myogenesis.     

纳米δ-Bi2O3负载多孔沸石球填料对水体中Cr（Ⅵ）的吸附特征及其影响因素

在水热条件下合成纳米δ-Bi2O3负载多孔沸石球填料(Bi-PZSF),研究其对水体中Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附性能(包括等温吸附、吸附动力学和吸附稳定性)以及溶解氧、pH等因素对吸附过程的影响及其吸附机理。结果表明:朗格缪尔模型和准二级动力学模型对实验结果具有良好的拟合度,在中性条件下,水体中的溶解氧含量对吸附速率影响较小,Bi-PZSF的最大吸附量为955.69 mg·kg^-1,比天然沸石的吸附量提升了近120倍;Bi-PZSF在NO3^-和SO4^2-的溶液中呈现出较强的选择吸收Cr(Ⅵ)能力,Cr(Ⅵ)去除率均在97%以上;同时,Bi-PZSF在吸附Cr(Ⅵ)后表现出高稳定性。Cr(Ⅵ)的去除主要是通过与附着在Bi-PZSF上的纳米δ-Bi2O3的表面羟基交换完成的。     

自然越冬期软枣猕猴桃枝条组织结构及内源激素的变化特征

该试验以抗寒性不同的5年生软枣猕猴桃品种‘魁绿’、‘丰绿’和‘96-6’为试验材料,测定分析自然越冬期间枝条组织解剖结构、细胞膜透性和内源激素GA3、ABA、IAA含量水平的变化,以明确不同品种软枣猕猴桃越冬期间对低温的适应能力及其内在生理机制,为软枣猕猴桃抗寒品种的选育及鉴别提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)软枣猕猴桃枝条木质部比率大小依次为‘魁绿’>‘96-6’>‘丰绿’,皮层比率依次为‘丰绿’>96-6’>魁绿’,二者表现趋势相反,且‘魁绿’枝条的解剖结构与其他两品种差异显著。(2)在自然越冬期间,各品种软枣猕猴桃枝条相对电导率和MDA含量随温度变化均呈先升后降的趋势,在温度最低的1月份达到最高,其中‘魁绿’枝条的相对电导率和MDA含量变化幅度最小,而‘丰绿’受低温影响较大。(3)在11月份至2月份,随自然温度的变化,各品种软枣猕猴桃枝条的GA3和IAA含量均呈先降低后升高的变化趋势,ABA含量则呈先升后降的趋势,且都在1月份分别达到最低或最高值。研究发现,在自然越冬期间,低温对3个软枣猕猴桃品种的组织解剖结构、膜透性及内源激素含量均都造成较大的影响,品种‘魁绿’枝条的木质部比率最大、皮层比率最小,相对电导率和MDA含量变化幅度最小,内源激素含量GA3和ABA/GA3变化趋势较小,故其抗寒性比‘丰绿’和‘96-6’更强。
