The enantiomer resolutions of 14 amino acids and 2 hydroxyl acids were completed on the CSPs by using an aqueous solution of Cu（Ac）2 as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and column temperature of 40 ℃ with detection at UV 254 nm. In terms of enantioseleetivity a, column efficiency and resolution Rs, the chromatographic behaviors of the analytes on the CSPs were discussed via comparing them to those on the CSP4 prepared via the reference method. The results show that enantioselectivity a, column efficiency and resolution Rs of the analytes on the CSPs could be improved by using the above modifying method.展开更多

Pathologic studies have shown that immature DCs are present in normal arterial while abundant mature DCs clustered with T cells could be visualized in atherogenic vessels suggesting that DC 3 maturation is linked to the progression of atherosclerosls. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors （PPARs） a, one member of the family of PPARs, was found to have favorable effects on slowing the progression of atherosclerosis and reducing the risk of coronary heart disease in high-risk patients independent from their metabolism effects.4＇5 Furthermore, PPAR-α is also expressed on monocytes and monocyte-derived DCs.6 The effects of PPAR-α on DCs maturation and immune function remain unknown now, we therefore observed the effects of fenofibrate, a PPAR-α agonist, on the maturation and immune function of oxidized LDL-treated DCs in this study.展开更多
