基于Needs甲基化法枸杞多糖指纹图谱的建立

目的多糖是枸杞中主要的活性成分,各产地间枸杞多糖的结构和含量均有差异。目前枸杞多糖的质量控制方法大多都通过单糖组成构建指纹图谱,但仅通过单糖指纹图谱对枸杞多糖进行质量控制,并不能系统地对不同产地的枸杞多糖进行质量控制。因此,我们在单糖指纹图谱的基础上,利用Needs甲基化法确定枸杞多糖的糖残基连接方式,建立Needs甲基化法枸杞多糖指纹图谱,实现对不同产地枸杞的质量控制。方法通过水提醇沉法获得枸杞多糖,并采用Needs甲基化、完全酸水解、硼氢化钠还原及乙酰化等方法结合GC-MS测定枸杞多糖的糖残基连接方式。结果将18批枸杞多糖的糖残基连接方式色谱图导入《中药色谱指纹图谱相似度评价系统》(2004版)构建出指纹图谱,并结合多种化学计量法评价不同产地间枸杞多糖的差异。相似度计算结果发现,除西藏自治区三批枸杞多糖相似度0.551-0.569,其余15批样品相似度均0.929以上。糖残基连接方式色谱图共标定了16个共有峰,指认了其中10个共有峰,分别为TArap、T-Araf、T-Xylp、1,2-Arap、1,3-Rhap、1,5-Araf、T-Glcp、T-Galp、1,4-Glcp、1,6-Galp。HCA、PCA和PLS-DA分析结果将18批次不同产地的枸杞多糖分为3类,并筛选出了3个标志性成分,分别为T-Araf、1,5-Araf和T-Glcp,以此来判断不同产地间枸杞多糖的差异性。结论首次建立了18批枸杞多糖的Needs甲基化法指纹图谱,为枸杞多糖质量控制提供实验数据参考,进一步证明了多糖在中药质量控制中的作用。

English Language Assistance Needs of Chinese Students

It is known that the IELTS test has not been a good predictor of English capability in academic settings. More information is required. Are students not motivated to keep improving their English; what obstacles do they face? The English language issues facing international students from China at one University are explored through a survey and focus groups. It is observed that a lack of motivation is not the key factor. Rather one core problem is the very difficult demands of acculturation within a short time frame which would enable confidence for the students to continue to engage with other English speaking students. When faced with such immediate and hard to achieve acculturation, many retreat to their language groups. In the academic context, support for the transition to discipline based academic genres is double difficult as the time frame for second language learners is longer, but performance requirements are more immediate. Many first language students also have difficulties in this area, but have the easier language path to mastery. The study draws usefully on a comparison made with students studying English in China.
