Enhanced Sporicidal Activity of Alcohol and Epigallocatechin-Palmitate-Based Hand Hygiene Formulations Comprised of Plant-Derived Compounds

Pathogenic spore-forming bacteria pose high risks to healthcare settings, as well as in the food and beverage industries. We reported recently that novel alcohol-based formulations containing plant-derived compounds, including epigallocatechin-3-gallate-palmitate (EGCG-P), a green tea polyphenol ester, provide > 99.99% inactivation of bacterial spores within 60 sec. Based on recently published data from our group and others, we hypothesize that a combination of EGCG-P and alcohol formulated with other plant-derived ingredients would achieve high sporicidal efficacy against a wide spectrum of bacterial spores and can provide novel hand hygiene methods against bacterial spores without toxicity. The objectives of the current study were to optimize two novel formulations with combinations of glycerol, citric acid, and EGCG-P to increase sporicidal activity and explore the rapid inactivation mechanisms and suitability for sporicidal products with broad-spectrum activities against aerobic and anaerobic bacterial spores. Methods included suspension testing of two formulations against spores from Bacillus cereus and Clostridium sporogenes, quantification of spore germination, and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrated that these novel formulations were able to reduce spore germination by >99.999% after 30 sec exposure in suspension tests, and rapidly caused physical damage to the spores. Additional studies are warranted to determine the suitability of the novel formulations for future hand hygiene use.

古汉语中的合体字与英语中的Compound Word和Derivative Word浅析

传统观念认为,英语的"word"与汉语的“词”是一个概念,可是若对英语"word"和汉语中的“字”进行详细分析,我们不难发现,在大多数情况下,说英语的人谈到"word"的场合,说汉语的人说到的就是“字”,也就是说,“word'’与汉语中的“字”也有多方面说清道不明的联系,有异曲同工之处。尤其是对古代汉“字”的特点去分析之后,更能说明这一点。本文试图通过对古汉“字”与英语中的 compound word和derivative word的分析比较,粗浅地谈一些不成熟的见解。

木质素模型化合物的电化学催化研究:转化特性与产物选择性

酚类衍生物是生物油的关键组分,对其电催化加氢(ECH)性质的深入理解对于高效利用生物油至关重要。基于此种考量,本工作研究了生物油中代表性物质愈创木酚的电催化加氢性能,探讨了其电催化加氢的反应机制、转化率和产品选择性在不同反应条件下(温度:40−80℃,高氯酸浓度:0.2–1.0 mol/L,电流强度:(–10)–(–150)mA)的变化。同时,也探索了愈创木酚中间产物(2-甲氧基环己酮和环己酮)等对其电催化加氢的影响。结果表明,愈创木酚的ECH转化率随温度和电流强度的提高而增加,但高氯酸浓度的增加则对转化率具有相反的影响。同时发现,中间产物的存在增强了愈创木酚的电催化加氢转化率,尤其是2-甲氧基环己酮,其效果更为显著。在此基础上,对其他种酚类衍生物(包括苯酚、邻苯二酚、愈创木酚、丁香酚和香草醛)及其混合物的电催化加氢机制的进一步研究中发现,模型化合物的电催化转化率与苯环上官能团的复杂程度成反比。在其中结构最简单的苯酚具有最高的转化率(89.34%),而由于结构更复杂,香草醛的转化率最低,仅为46.79%。同时,在多组分混合物的电催化加氢研究中发现,模型化合物的协同和竞争机制将显著影响各自的转化率。
