Lipase-catalyzed ammonolysis of trimethylsilylmethyl acetate in organic solvent

Lipase could catalyze the ammonolysis of trimethylsilylmethyl acetate in organic solvents and Novozym 435 was the best biocatalyst for the reaction. The influences of some factors on the reaction were investigated. Cyclohexane, n-hexane and heptane were found to be suitable reaction media and ammonium carbamate was the best ammonium source. The optimal initial water activity, temperature and pH value were 0.55-0.75, 35°C and 6.5 respectively, under which a substrate conversion of 97.6% could be achieved after reaction for 140 h.     

TRPV1 mediates cell death in rat synovial fibroblasts through calcium entry-dependent ROS production and mitochondrial depolarization

Synoviocyte hyperplasia is critical for rheumatoid arthritis, therefore, potentially an important target for therapeutics. It was found in this work that a TRPV1 agonist capsaicin, and acidic solution (pH 5.5) induced increases in cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca²⁺]_c) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in synoviocytes isolated from a rat model of collagen-induced arthritis. The increases in both [Ca²⁺]_c and ROS production were completely abolished in calcium-free buffer or by a TRPV1 antagonist capsazepine. Further experiments revealed that capsaicin and pH 5.5 solution caused mitochondrial membrane depolarization and reduction in cell viability; such effects were inhibited by capsazepine, or the NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor diphenylene iodonium. Both capsaicin and pH 5.5 buffer induced apoptosis as shown by nuclear condensation and fragmentation. Furthermore, RT-PCR readily detected TRPV1 mRNA expression in the isolated synoviocytes. Taken together, these data indicated that TRPV1 activation triggered synoviocyte death by [Ca²⁺]_c elevation, ROS production, and mitochondrial membrane depolarization.

广西原产和外引蚕豆种质资源鉴定评价

在广西南宁对242份引自 ICARDA 和我国云南、河北、江苏、广东、甘肃及广西的蚕豆种质资源进行了连续3年的农艺性状鉴定和连续2年的抗病性鉴定。从中筛选出适宜在广西试种利用的8份优良资源。鉴定结果表明,引自 ICAR-DA 和甘肃、河北、江苏的材料大部分在广西结实很少或者没有结实,来自纬度相近地区的广东、云南的材料结实基本正常,来自广西的材料最为正常,说明蚕豆的生态适应范围狭窄,具有很强的地域生态特点。

Life prediction for a vacuum fluorescent display based on two improved models using the three‐parameter Weibull right approximation method

To obtain precise life information for vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs), luminance degradation data for VFDs were collected from a group of normal life tests. Instead of exponential function, the three‐parameter Weibull right approximation method (TPWRAM) was applied to describe the luminance degradation path of optoelectronic products, and two improved models were established. One of these models calculated the average life by fitting average luminance degradation data, and the other model obtained VFD life by combining the approximation method with luminance degradation test data from each individual sample. The results indicated that the test design under normal working stress was appropriate, and the selection of censored test data was simple. The two models improved by TPWRAM both revealed the luminance decaying law for VFD, and the pseudo failure time was accurately extrapolated. It was further confirmed by comparing relative error that using the second model gave a more accurate prediction of VFD life. The improved models in this study can provide technical references for researchers and manufacturers in aspects of life prediction methodology for its development.
