[Method] The effects of laundry wastewater on the contents of total nitrogen(TN), total phosphorus(TP), suspended solids(SS), chemical oxygen demand(COD) and linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid(LAS) were studied in 7 rivers of Shaoxing City. [Result](1) The contents of TN, TP, SS, COD and LAS increased by 92%, 99%, 340%, 351% and 923%, respectively, at the discharging moment of laundry wastewater; and(2) the five pollutional indexes significantly decreased over time, and especially 2 h after the discharge of laundry wastewater, compared with former the discharge of laundry wastewater, the contents of TN, TP, COD and LAS increased by 6%, 11%, 9% and13%, respectively,while the contents of SS still increased by 76%, i.e., SS required a longer time to achieve self-purification. [Conclusion] Laundry wastewater has some influence on thequality of river water, and the self-purification function of river water could effectively remove pollutants.展开更多

The hypoglycemic efficacy of guava leaf has been documented by many scientists in these regions, but the hypoglycemic mechanism is poorly understood. Guava leaves were extracted with methanol and the crude extract was partitioned against hexane, ethyl acetate, and butanol in sequence. The leftover in water is defined as the aqueous partition. A second smaller batch was extracted with hot water directly. Oral glucose tolerance test was carried out on healthy mice instead of diabetic mice that lack endogenous insulin. Glucose uptake was examined with 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Oxidative effect on PTP1B （protein tyrosine phosphatase 1b） was carried out with real-time PTP1B enzymatic assay. The aqueous partition of guava leaf extract possesses a potent inhibitory effect on PTP1B enzymatic activity and this PTP1B inhibition is through a slow oxidative but reversible inactivation on the enzyme. The reversible inactivation would suggest guava leaf extract may augment PTP1B inhibition alongside the endogenous H2O2 which itself is induced by insulin. In addition, our study confirmed the hypoglycemic efficacy being associated with guava leaf and found the most effective molecules reside in the aqueous partition which is also less cytotoxic to Chinese hamster ovary cells when compared to other less polar partitions. The guava leaf extract can modulate insulin activity through a redox regulation on PP1B enzymatic activity. It is speculated that a compound similar to gallocatechin in the aqueous partition can reduce an oxygen molecule to hydrogen peroxide which in turn oxidizes the catalytic residue Cys in PTP1B. Therefore, the guava leaf tea can serve as a functional hypoglycemic drink that is suitable for either healthy or diabetic subjects.展开更多

The ordinary Portland cement was used. The amount of cement added to soil samples, as dry mass percentage was 20%. The results of analysis showed that the addition of cement is capable of bringing about changes in physiochemical properties of soil. The electrical conductivity and organic matter content in three soils get decreased by the addition of cement. While the pH, bulk density and water holding capacity of soils after the addition of cement gets increased. The soil found most suitable to be treated with cement was roadside soil. It was concluded that cement can be used to change the physiochemical properties of soil and this technique has great utility in improving the quality of problematic soils.展开更多

Here, an innovative microwave irradiation sample preparation method was developed based on an optimized organic-aqueous solvent system for protein identification. Specifically, protein solutions containing high-concentration acetonitrile were subjected to 5 min microwave irradiation. After cooling down, trypsin was added and the digestion was performed with 30 s microwave irradiation, and the resulting peptides were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS). A shortened processing time of only 5.5 min is needed with this method(more than 12 h is necessary in the traditional overnight protein sample preparation). Moreover, due to the absence of urea and other chaotropic reagents, the digests can be readily identified by MALDI-TOF MS. When an assessment of this method was performed by digesting a model protein BSA, 69% ± 3% sequence coverage corresponding to 47 ± 3 peptides was obtained, which shows better protein identification than that from the standard overnight protein sample preparation method(51% ± 2% sequence coverage and 23 ± 1 peptides). Another model protein α-casein was used for the analysis of protein phosphorylation with the newly developed method that yielded 4 phosphopeptides with 8 phosphorylation sites, whereas 3 phosphopeptides with 2 phosphorylation sites were obtained from the traditional overnight approach. Moreover, the organic-aqueous microwave irradiation method provides effective digestion for proteins down to fmol.展开更多

The monomeric uranyl-based fluorescence emissions of compounds 1 and 2 are red-shifted by about 6 and 5 nm respectively, compared to that of uranyl nitrate hexahydrate. Compound 1 has stronger emission than compound 2, but both their emissions exhibit triple-exponential decay. The photophysics of uranyl oxalate trihydrate was also investigated for comparison. The selective crystallization of compound 1 in alkaline solution was applied to the sequestration of uranyl ions, showing a kinetic preference.展开更多
