The bamboo kraft pulps were treated by the 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene auto-oxidation method or the 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene auto-oxidation combined with anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid sodium salt to show the ef-fect of the superoxide anion radicals during the oxygen delignification of bamboo kraft pulp and the enhancing af-fect of anthraquinone compounds as an additive on delignification. The results indicated that the superoxide anion radicals could react with lignin and remove it from pulp with negligible damage on cellulose, and the an-thraquinone-2-sulfonic acid sodium salt could facilitate the generation of superoxide anion radical to enhance delig-nification of pulps. The oxygen delignification selectivity could be improved using the 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene auto-oxidation system combined with anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid sodium salt.展开更多

The percentage of sperm comet cells and the comet tail lengths were measured in the treated sperm cells by using SCGE. Results Both percentage of comet sperm nuclei and mean tail length in sperm cells exposed to 0.5 mmol/L hydrogen peroxide with different concentrations of NAC decrease significantly in a dose dependent manner as compared with sperm cells exposed to H 2O 2 without NAC or catalase. Although mean tail length in sperm cells exposed to 5.0 mmol/L of β NADPH with different concentrations of NAC decreases significantly compared with sperm cells exposed to β NADPH without NAC or SOD, there were no significant differences on the percentage of sperm comet cells between sperm cells exposed to 5.0 mmol/L of β NADPH with different concentrations of NAC and sperm cells exposed to 5.0 mmol/L of β NADPH without NAC. Conclusion NAC has a protective effect on exogenous hydrogen peroxide induced DNA damage, while protective effect of NAC against O - 2 induced DNA strand breakage is significant but very weak.展开更多
Three water-soluble β-alanine C 60 adducts with different addition numbers, C 60(NHCH 2CH 2COONa) nH n(n=1,5,9), were synthesized.

The products were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The antioxidant activity of these C 60 adducts as the quencher for superoxide anion radical O -· 2 was evaluated by chemiluminescence in the system of pyrogallol-luminol. The results indicate that the three C 60 derivatives are all excellent quencher for superoxide anion radical O -· 2. The concentrations of 50% inhibition are 252, 140, 112 μmol/L respectively. This high efficiency should be attributed to many factors such as the numbers of remaining double bonds, donor effect of amino group and steric effect. However, the above results also suggest the effect of the adducted β-alanine groups is predominated in this system.展开更多
