Nutrient retranslocation from the fine roots of Fraxinus mandshurica and Larix olgensis in northeastern China

Nutrient retranslocation in trees is important in nutrient budgets and energy flows in forest ecosystems. We investigated nutrient retranslocation in the fine roots of a Manchurian Ash （Fraxinus mandshurica） and a Larch （Larix olgensis） plantation in northeastern China. Nutrient retranslocation in the fine roots was investigated using three methods, specifically, nutrient concentration, the ratio of Ca to other elements （Ca/other elements ratio） and nutrient content. The method based on nutrient content proved most suitable when investigating nutrient retranslocation from fine roots of the two species. The nutrient-content-based method showed that there were retranslocations of N, P, K and Mg from the fine roots of Manchurian Ash, with retranslocation efficiencies of 13, 25, 65, and 38 %, respectively, whereas there were no Ca retranslocations. There were retranslocations of N, P, K, Ca and Mg from the fine roots of Larch, with retranslocation efficiencies of 31, 40, 52, 23 and 25 %, respectively.

Addition of peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) to IVF fertilization medium maintains motility and longevity of human spermatozoa

This study aims to investigate the protective effects of peroxiredoxin 6 on the total motility and progressive motility of human spermatozoa.Semen samples with normal parameters were collected from 23 males and supplemented with different concentrations of peroxiredoxin 6.All the semen samples were measured according to the WHO 5th manual,and the motile spermatozoa were extracted using IVF fertilization medium supplemented with different peroxiredoxin 6 concentrations.Total motility and progressive motility were observed at different time-points of culture at room temperature.After peroxiredoxin 6 supplementation,all groups had a significant increase in total motility and progressive motility compared to the control group.The difference in total motility and progressive motility between the 0 and 10−7 mM groups was observed at 24 and 48 h of culture at room temperature.At 24 h,the total motility increased by 30%in the control group(16.03±11.91 vs.11.51±7.84),and progressive motility increased by 21%(10.53±9.4 vs.8.31±6.04).A similar trend was observed in the 48 h group.In addition,we also found that peroxiredoxin 6 had a well protective effect on sperm kinetic parameters at 10−7 mM.The findings of this study suggest that peroxiredoxin 6 can enhance sperm total motility and progressive motility in IVF fertilization medium.Peroxiredoxin 6 may have potential benefits for sperm preparation in assisted reproductive technology.

Effect of peroxiredoxin 6 on total and progressive motility of human spermatozoa after cryopreservation

Sperm cryopreservation is useful in assisted reproductive technology and male fertility preservation.However,freezing and thawing significantly reduces the total and progressive motility of human spermatozoa.In the present study,we explored the effects of peroxiredoxin 6(PRDX6)on total and progressive motility of human spermatozoa after cryopreservation.Semen samples of 20 males with normal parameters were collected and frozen in media supplemented with different concentrations of PRDX6(0 mM,10−5 mM,10−7 mM,and 10−9 mM,respectively).Postthaw total and progressive motility of sperms were measured.The results showed that in comparison with 0 mM,the concentrations of 10−5 mM,10−7 mM,and 10−9 mM of PRDX6 all significantly improved total motility and progressive motility of sperms(p<0.05).The 10−7 mM of PRDX6 showed the best performance.In conclusion,the supplementation of PRDX6 helps to maintain the total and progressive motility of human spermatozoa.

Acoustic Goos-H?nchen effect

We report two models of the lateral displacement of acoustic-wave scattering on a fluid-solid interface that reveal an acoustic analog of the Goos-H?nchen effect in optics. This acoustic analog is called the acoustic Goos-H?nchen effect. Using newly proposed models, we made numerical calculations for the system of a water-Perspex interface. Specifically, in the post-critical-angle region,we observed a lateral displacement(and transition time) of the reflected P-wave with respect to the incident P-wave. The first arrival of the acoustic signal from the interface is found to be a reflected P-wave rather than the sliding-refraction P-wave usually described in traditional acoustic-logging sliding P-wave theory. For both proposed models, the effective propagation speed of the reflected P-wave along the interface depends on not only the physical properties of the interfacial media but also the incident angle.These observations are intriguing and warrant further investigation.

Reflection and refraction of elastic wave at VTI-TTI media interface

We explore the physical phenomenon of acoustic waves induced at the interface between two different anisotropic rock media.Specifically,one medium is a transversely isotropic medium with a vertical axis of symmetry(VTI medium)and the other one is a transversely isotropic medium with a tilt axis of symmetry(TTI medium).By solving the Kelvin-Christoffel equation,an eighth-order polynomial is established for reflection and refraction angles,which is confirmed from SnelFs law.Three types of analytical expressions of the polarization coefficients of the induced waves are obtained corresponding to different incident angle regions.An effective algorithm has been developed for numerical analysis of the polarization coefficients.Applying characteristic anisotropic parameters reported in the literature,the influencing factors on reflection and refraction coefficients are analyzed,e.g.,the anisotropy,the tilt-angle of rock-layer,and the incident-angle.The calculated reflection and refraction coefficients have been rechecked for energy conservation.

Synthesis of Clionastatins A and B through Enhancement of Chlorination and Oxidation Levels of Testosterone

A full account of semisyntheses of polychlorinated marine steroids clionastatins A and B is described.We have developed a unique two-stage chlorination-oxidation strategy that enabled concise and divergent semisyntheses of clionastatins A and B in 16 steps from inexpensive testosterone.Key transformations in chlorination stage include(a)conformationally controlled,stereospecific dichlorination through an unusualβ-chloronium intermediate to install the diequatorial C1,C2-dichloride;(b)C4-OH directed C19–H oxygenation followed by challenging neopentyl chlorination to install the C19–Cl.The high oxidation level was constructed through(a)the desaturation at C6–C7 through one-pot photochemical dibromination–reductive debromination;(b)regioselective anti-Markovnikov oxidation of the C6–C7 double bond by photoredox-metal dual catalysis to forge the B ring enone;(c)late-stage desaturation with SeO_(2)to introduce C8–C9 double bond.Wharton transposition was used to forge the D-ring enone,and thermodynamically driven epimerization secured the cis-fused C/D ring system.Furthermore,we also provided a 14-step approach to clionastatin A by optimizing the construction of the D-ring enone with a dehydration-oxidation sequence.

Synthetic studies towards atkamine

Atkamine is a complex marine pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloid that comprises a heptacyclic scaffold bearing five different heterocycles and four contiguous stereocenters,and therefore it is a highly challenging target for synthetic chemists.We herein reported a modular synthetic strategy toward this alkaloid,featuring a formal [5+2] annulation and an asymmetric Michael addition.The efficient synthesis of the long-chain aliphatic aldehyde and chiral amino acetal fragments have been achieved.A simplified tetracyclic intermediate bearing the core structure of atkamine has been successfully constructed through the formal [5+2] annulation.

Total Synthesis of Stemarene and Betaerene Diterpenoids:Divergent Ring-Formation Strategy and Late-Stage C–H Functionalization

A unified protecting group-free approach to two stemarene and two betaerene diterpenoids through a bioinspired two-phase strategy has been developed,and three of them were obtained for the first time via chemical synthesis.Starting from a common intermediate,two distinct tetracyclic frameworks containing diastereoisomeric bridged bicycles were constructed by a divergent ring reorganization strategy.Late-stage C–H functionalization through a xanthylation-oxygenation protocol furnished the corresponding oxygenated stereocenters or oxo functionality in high regio-and diastereoselective fashion within a complex hydrocarbon system.The stereochemical puzzles in(–)-2-acetoxybetaer13(17)-ene and(+)-7-acetoxybetaer-13(17)-ene were first predicted by the comparison of density functional theory(DFT)-nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)data with the reported data and then unambiguously addressed through the total syntheses of natural products and three diastereomers.
