COAGULATION ACTIVITY IN VARIOUS STRAINS OF YOSHIDA ASCITES HEPATOMA TISSUES AND CELLS OF RAT

To investigate the mechanism of chemotherapy related DIC, a quantitative and comparative study was carried out on the coagulation activities of tumor cells and tumor tissues in three strains of rat ascites hepatoma AH109A, AH272 and LY80. The content of thrombo-plastin was expressed as the relative concentration against that in the brain tissue. Ascites hepatoma cell and tissue of each strain obviously have different quantities of coagulants, such as tissue thromboplastin. Coagulation activities of tumor tissues are higher than that of tumor cells. The coagulation activities of tumor tissues and cells of AH272 were higher than that of AH109A and LY80. Our findings suggest that the initiation of DIC not only depend on the tissue thromboplastin, the other factors or the other mechanisms should be considered.

Chemical constituents and coagulation effects of the flowers of Rosa chinensis Jacq.

In this paper,the flowers of Rosa chinensis Jacq.were investigated and 14 compounds were isolated and identified,namely kaempferol(1),quercetin(2),isoquercitrin(3),afzelin(4),quercitrin(5),phenylethyl glucopyranoside(6),avicularin(7),juglanin(8),nicotiflorin(9),phenylethyl-6′-O-galloyl-β-D-glucopyranoside(10),tiliroside(11),methyl gallate(12),8-O-methylherbacetin-3-O-β-D-sophoroside(13),gallic acid(14).Among these compounds,compounds 7,9,12 and 13 were isolated from R.chinensis for the first time.These compounds and extracts of R.chinensis.were studied for coagulation activity in vitro.The results showed that tiliroside(11)had good effect on promoting blood coagulation,and the effect of tiliroside was better than that of Yunnanbaiyao.Juglanin(8)and nicotiflorin(9)could significantly shorten thrombin time(TT)and significantly elevated fibrinogen(FIB),which proved that juglanin and nicotiflorin had good procoagulant effect.

Coagulant compounds in Rubia cordifolia L.

Rubia cordifolia L.belongs to Rubiaceae family.Its medicinal parts are mainly root and rhizome,which is included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020),has the effect of cooling blood and stopping bleeding,removing stasis and channeling menstruation.However,studies on the hemostatic effect of R.cordifolia mainly focus on extracts,and the hemostatic components are less studied.Therefore,chemical constituents and coagulant activity of R.cordifolia were investigated in this paper.Eleven compounds were isolated and identified from R.cordifolia,including 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-9,10-anthraquinone(1),1,4-dihydroxy-2-methylanthraquinone(2),palmitic acid(3),tricosanoic acid(4),ω-hydroxypachybasin(5),ursolic acid(6),oleanolic acid(7),rubilactone(8),β-sitosterol(9),cordifoliol(10),1,3-dihydroxy-2-ethoxymethyl-9,10-anthraquinone(11).ω-Hydroxypachybasin was isolated from Rubia genus for the first time.1,4-Dihydroxy-2-methylanthraquinone,rubilactone and 1,3-dihydroxy-2-ethoxymethyl-9,10-anthraquinone could remarkably shorten the plasma calcium coating time in vitro,thus indicating that they had procoagulant activity.

Interference of iron as a coagulant on MIB removal by powdered activated carbon adsorption for low turbidity waters

Powered activated carbon （PAC） is widely used in water treatment plants to minimize odors in drinking water. This study investigated the removal of 2-methylisoborneol （MIB） by PAC adsorption, combined with coagulation using iron as a coagulant. The adsorption and coagulation process were studied through different case scenarios of jar tests. The analysis evaluated the effect of PAC dosing in the liquid phase immediately before or after the coagulant addition. Ferric sulphate was used as the coagulant with dosages from 10 to 30 mg/L, and PAC dosages varied from 10 to 40 mg/L. The highest MIB removal efficiency （about 70%） was achieved without the coagulant addition and with the highest PAC dosage （40 mg/L）. Lower MIB removal efficiencies were observed in the presence of coagulant, showing a clear interference of the iron precipitate or coagulant in the adsorption process. The degree of interference of the coagulation process in the MIB removal was proportional to the ratio of ferric hydroxide mass to the PAC mass. For both cases of PAC dosing, upstream and downstream of the coagulant injection point, the MIB removal efficiency was similar. However, MIB removal efficiency was 15% lower when compared with experiments without the coagulant application. This interference in the MIB adsorption occurs potentially because the coagulant coats the surface of the carbon and interferes with the MIB coming in contact with the carbon＇s surface and pores. This constraint requires an increase of the PAC dosage to provide the same efficiency observed without coagulation.

Comparison of different combined treatment processes to address the source water with high concentration of natural organic matter during snowmelt period

The source water in one forest region of the Northeast China had very high natural organic matter（NOM） concentration and heavy color during snowmelt period. The efficiency of five combined treatment processes was compared to address the high concentration of NOM and the mechanisms were also analyzed. Conventional treatment can hardly remove dissolved organic carbon（DOC） in the source water. KMn O4pre-oxidization could improve the DOC removal to 22.0%. Post activated carbon adsorption improved the DOC removal of conventional treatment to 28.8%. The non-sufficient NOM removal could be attributed to the dominance of large molecular weight organic matters in raw water, which cannot be adsorbed by the micropore upon activated carbon. O3＋ activated carbon treatment are another available technology for eliminating the color and UV254 in water. However, its performance of DOC removal was only 36.4%, which could not satisfy the requirement for organic matter. The limited ozone dosage is not sufficient to mineralize the high concentration of NOM. Magnetic ion-exchange resin combined with conventional treatment could remove 96.2%of color, 96.0% of UV254 and 87.1% of DOC, enabling effluents to meet the drinking water quality standard. The high removal efficiency could be explained by the negative charge on the surface of NOM which benefits the static adsorption of NOM on the anion exchange resin. The results indicated that magnetic ion-exchange resin combined with conventional treatment is the best available technology to remove high concentration of NOM.
