The results showed that the amounts of tea cream in the green tea infusions obtained from different cultivars and different parts of new shoots were varied. There were many chemical components participating in the formation of green tea cream. However, there were only the contents of caffeine (Y=0.85, P〈0.01) and polyphenols (Y=0.65, P〈0.05) in the original green tea infusion highly correlated with the amount of green tea cream. Stepwise regression analysis of overall chemical components indicated that the contents of caffeine and gallated catechins in the original green tea infusion had a significant effect (P〈0.01) on green tea cream levels. Cream (g L-1)=-172.071+ 0.129×Ccaffeine+0.024×Ggallated catechins (R2=0.936). The amount of green tea cream can be predicted by the contents of gallated catechins and caffeine in the original tea infusion. Principal component analysis also indicated that catechins, minerals, and polysaccharides were the important chemical components in the formation of green tea cream.展开更多

Recently, botulinum toxin A (BTA) has been increasingly utilized as an adjunct in AWR to aid in fascial closure. This review aims to evaluate the current literature on the use of BTA in AWR to assess current treatment regimens, side effects, outcomes and complications. A literature search was performed, yielding 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria. There was a significant amount of heterogeneity in treatment regimens, with studies differing in BTA injection timing, dosage, concentration, and location. The majority of studies showed that injection of BTA preoperatively was able to augment abdominal wall musculature, with many showing a decrease in mean transverse defect size and high rates of successful fascial closure. No major complications were reported from BTA administration, with only mild side effects reported by some studies. The most common side effects include a weak cough or sneeze, bloating, and back pain, which generally all resolved prior to surgery. While BTA appears to be a promising adjunct for AWR, further investigation is needed to determine optimal patient selection and treatment regimens.展开更多

文摘[Objective] The aim was to illustrate the relation between Leptocybe invasa and eucalyptus, so as to provide the basis for scientific control of L. invasa. [Method] The chemical components of eucalyptus were extracted by solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) technique and ethanol extraction method, and detected by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. The relative contents of various components were determined by area normalization. [Result] When eucalyptus was damaged by L. invasa, not only some substances disappeared, but also new substances were induced. Among 4 induced volatiles, the content of terpinolene was the highest of 37.66%. Eight new chemical substances were also detected from the ethanol extract of damaged leaves, and the content of 3-phenyl-2-propenyl phenpropionate was the highest of 30.95%.[Conclusion] The damage caused by L. invasa had obvious effect on composition and contents of chemical components of eucalyptus.
文摘Effect of chemical component on shape memory effect (SME) of Fe-Mn-Si-Ni-C-RE shape memory alloys was studied by bent measurement, thermal cycle training, SEM etc. Results of study indicate that the alloys with high Mn content (25%) appeare better SME, especially in lower strain. SME improves evidently when Si is higher content, especially it’s range from 3% up to 4%. But brittleness of Fe-Mn-Si-Ni-C-RE alloy increases by increasing the Si content. SME of the alloy is weakening gradually as carbon content increases under small strain (3%). But in the condition of large strain (above 6%), SME of the alloy whose carbon content ranges from 0.1 % to 0.12% shows small decreasing range, especially of alloy with the addition of compound RE.

文摘Although marine and terrestrial emissions simultaneously affect the formation of atmospheric fine particles in coastal areas,knowledge on the optical properties and sources of water-soluble matter in these areas is still scarce.In this work,taking Qingdao,China as a typical coastal location,the chemical composition of PM_(2.5)duringwinter 2019was analyzed.Excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy was combined with parallel factor analysis model to explain the components of water-soluble atmospheric chromophores of PM_(2.5).Our analysis indicated that NO_(3)^(-),NH_(4)^(+)and SO_(4)^(2-)ions accounted for 86.80%of the total ion mass,dominated by NO_(3)^(-).The ratio of[NO_(3)^(-)]/[SO_(4)^(2-)]was up to 2.42±0.84,suggesting thatmobile sources play an important role in local pollutants emission.The result of positive correlation between Abs_(365)with K^(+)suggests that biomass burning is an important source of water-soluble organic compounds(WSOC).Six types of fluorophores(C1-C6),all humic-like substances,were identified in WSOC.Humification index,biological index and fluorescence index in winter were 1.66±0.34,0.51±0.44 and 1.09±0.78,respectively,indicating that WSOC in Qingdao were mainly terrestrial organic matters.Overall,although the study area is close to the ocean,the contribution of terrestrial sources to PM_(2.5),especially vehicle exhaust and coal combustion,is still much higher than that of marine sources.Our study provides a more comprehensive understanding of chemical and optical properties of WSOC based on PM_(2.5)in coastal areas,and may provide ground for improving local air quality.

文摘Shenshao Tablet(SST),prepared from Paeoniae Radix Alba(PRA)and total ginsenoside of Ginseng Stems and Leaves(GSL),is a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)preparation prescribed to treat coronary heart disease.However,its chemical composition and the components that can migrate into blood potentially exerting the therapeutic effects have rarely been elucidated.We developed an HPLC/DAD/ESI-MS^n approach aiming to comprehensively profile and identify both the chemical components of SST and its absorbed ingredients(and metabolites)in rat plasma and urine.Chromatographic separation was performed on an Agilent Eclipse XDB C_(18) column using acetonitrile/0.1% formic acid as the mobile phase.MS detection was conducted in both negative and positive ESI modes to yield more structure information.Comparison with reference compounds(t_R,MS^n),interpretation of the fragmentation pathways,and searching of in-house database,were utilized for more reliable structure elucidation.A total of 82 components,including 21monoterpene glycosides,four galloyl glucoses,two phenols from PRA,and 55 ginsenosides from GSL,were identified or tentatively characterized from the 70% ethanolic extract of SST.Amongst them,seven and 24 prototype compounds could be detectable in the plasma and urine samples,respectively,after oral administration of an SST extract(4 g×kg^(–1))in rats.No metabolites were observed in the rat samples.The findings of this work first unveiled the chemical complexity of SST and its absorbed components,which would be beneficial to understanding the therapeutic basis and quality control of SST.

文摘Monolayer-ordered gold nanoring arrays were prepared by ion-sputtering method and used as surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS)substrates to test the individual atmospheric aerosols particle.Compared to other methods used for testing atmospheric aerosols particles,the collection and subsequent detection in our work is performed directly on the gold nanoring SERS substrate without any treatment of the analyte.The SERS performance can be tuned by changing the depth of the gold nanoring cavity as originating from coupling of dipolar modes at the inner and outer surfaces of the nanorings.The electric field exhibits uniform enhancement and polarization in the ordered Au nanoring substrate,which can improve the accuracy for detecting atmospheric aerosol particles.Combined with Raman mapping,the information about chemical composition of individual atmospheric aerosols particle and distribution of specific components can be presented visually.The results show the potential of SERS in enabling improved analysis of aerosol particle chemical composition,mixing state,and other related physicochemical properties.
文摘Fascial closure is crucial for abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) but can be especially difficult in patients with massive ventral hernias or loss domain. Recently, botulinum toxin A (BTA) has been increasingly utilized as an adjunct in AWR to aid in fascial closure. This review aims to evaluate the current literature on the use of BTA in AWR to assess current treatment regimens, side effects, outcomes and complications. A literature search was performed, yielding 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria. There was a significant amount of heterogeneity in treatment regimens, with studies differing in BTA injection timing, dosage, concentration, and location. The majority of studies showed that injection of BTA preoperatively was able to augment abdominal wall musculature, with many showing a decrease in mean transverse defect size and high rates of successful fascial closure. No major complications were reported from BTA administration, with only mild side effects reported by some studies. The most common side effects include a weak cough or sneeze, bloating, and back pain, which generally all resolved prior to surgery. While BTA appears to be a promising adjunct for AWR, further investigation is needed to determine optimal patient selection and treatment regimens.
