The interference from excess of reagent was masked by adding lead ions solution.The molar absorptivities (Ae) for zinc and cadmium were 6. 54 × 105 and 4. 27 × 105 L. mol-1. cm-1,respectively. The method could be used to determine zinc and cadmium in synthetic mixtures, and the satisfied results were obtained.展开更多

Methods Themodel of PD was induced by intraperitoneal injection of MPTP into C57BL/6J mice for 4 d. Modafinil(ip, 50 or 100 mg·kg^(-1)·d^(-1)) was administered following MPTP for 4 d and for another 10 dconsecatirely. The effects of modafinil on the locomotor activity, and the incubation, maintenanceperiod and grade of the tremor, the duration of the climbing rod of mouse, and the distribution ofpositive cells of ty-rosine hydroxylase (TH) and Nissl bodies in the striatum and substantia nigra(SN) were observed. The contents of dopam-ine (DA) , noradrenaline (NA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) in the striatum were determined. Results Modafinil (50 and 100 mg·kg^(-1)) significantlyprevented the locomotor, the tremor and climbing rod defect behavior in a dose-dependent manner (P <0.05 and P < 0.01, n = 10), prevented the decrease in the number of TH-positive cells and Nisslbodies (P<0.05, n=10), and reduced the decrease of DA, NA, and 5-HT in the striatum (P < 0.05, n =10) induced by MPTP. Conclusion Modafinil improves the behavioral deficits and prevents themonoaminergic neuron lesion in seriously impaired MPTP mouse model.展开更多

In this study, we confirmed that xanthone extract from Swertia punicea Hemsl （XSPH） improved the motor deficit, increased the levels of striatal dopamine （DA） and homovanilic acid （HVA）, and alleviated the loss of tyrosine hydroxylase （TH）-positive neurons located in substantia nigra pars compacta （SNpc） in MPTP-induced mouse model of Parkinson＇s disease （PD）. In conclusion, the present results indicated that XSPH offered neuroprotective effects against the neurotoxicity of MPTP and it might be a potential treatment for PD.展开更多

The results indicated that the concentrations of low carbon-cycle naphthalene as well phenanthrene series reduce gradually with increasing Ro at the highly mature levels. However, some high-cyclic components such as chrysene, benzofluoranthene, and benzo[e]pyrene are relatively enriched, in companying an enhancement of parent aromatic compounds. The variations are attributed to thermal cracking and polymerization reactions due to continuous dehydrogenation under enhanced burial temperature. As thermal maturity rises, MPI1 （Methylphenanthrene Index） values display a two-modal varying trend, namely, increasing when Ro is below 1.80% and decreasing above 1.8% Ro. The relationships between Ro and MPI1 are Ro=0.98MPI1＋0.37 for R0〈1.80% and R0=-0.90MPI1＋3.02 at R0〉1.8%, being different from the previous research. The amount of dibenzofurans declines sharply at Ro higher than 1.1%, leading to a significant change of relative composition among dibenzothiophenes, dibenzofurans and fluorenes （referred as three-fluorenes series composition）. Thus, this parameter appears to be unsuitable for identifying the sedimentary environment of the highly matured source rocks. 4-/1-MDBT （methyldibenzothiophene） ratio could be served as an effective indicator for organic facies, and can distinguish coals from mudstones at over-maturity in this case. The ratios of 2,6-/2,10-DMP （dimethylphenanthrene） and 1,7-/1,9-DMP and relative abundance of triaromatic steroids in these highly mature rocks could be considered as biological source parameters for relative input of terrigenous versus aquatic organic matter.展开更多
