Potential neoplastic effects of parathion-methyl on rat liver

The mutagenic and carcinogenic effects of parathion-methyl were examined by bacterial reverse mutation assay and a long-term experiment with wistar rats. The potential mutagenic effect of parathion-methyl in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 bacterial cells was observed without rat liver S9 metabolic activation. Parathion-methyl was further investigated for pathological changes in rat pancreas and liver. The long-term rat experiments showed that parathion-methyl exposure for 3 months can cause pathological changes in rat pancreases acinar cells and pancreatic hepatocytes. Atypical acinar cell focuses （AACF） were determined in the liver and pancreas of the rats. The results from short-term Ames test and long-term rat experiments suggested that parathion-methyl would be potential carcinogenic.

Study on Sorption of Monocrotophos and Parathion-methyl on Yellow River's Sediments

A study on the sorption of monocrotophos and parathion methyl on Yellow River's sediments was performed. The influence of some factors, such as pH value and ionic strength, on the sorption was investigated and first order kinetics mode for the sorption of monocrophos was shown. Freundlich isotherm was suggested as the most appropriate type for monocrophos and parathion methyl. But the sorption isotherms of monocrotophos and parathion methyl are also in conformity with Langmuir equation. Both partition and adsorption occur to the sorption of monocrophos to Yellow River's sediments, but partition is the predominant for that of parathion methyl.

Biodegradation of methyl parathion by Acinetobacter radioresistens USTB-04

Biodegradation of methyl parathion （MP）, a widely used organophosphorus pesticide, was investigated using a newly isolated bacterium strain Acinetobacter radioresistens USTB-04. MP at an initial concentration of 1200 mg/L could be totally biodegraded by A. radioresistens USTB-04 as the sole carbon source less than 4 d in the presence of phosphate and urea as phosphorus and nitrogen sources, respectively. Biodegradation of MP was also achieved using cell-free extract of A. radioresistens USTB-04. MP at an initial concentration of 130 mg/L was completely biodegraded in 2 h in the presence of cell-free extract with a protein concentration of 148.0 mg/L, which was increased with the increase of pH from 5.0 to 8.0. Contrary to published reports, no intermediate or final degradation metabolites of MP could be observed. Thus we suggest that the cleavage of C-C bond on the benzene ring other than P-O bond may be the biodegradation pathway of MP by A. radioresistens USTB-04.

Preparation and Electrochemical Characters of Parathion Molecule Imprinted Polymeric Sensors

A sensitive, fast and low-cost molecular imprinted polymeric sensor for quantitative determination of parathion was prepared with chitosan（CS） as function matrix and parathion（PT） as template molecule via constant potential electrochemical deposition. Sensitive response was obtained with a detection limit of 1.0× 10-7 mol/L and an excellent recognition for PT was achieved due to the good memory capacity of the sensor. The developed sensor exhibited good fabrication reproducibility and acceptable stability, which provided a new promising tool for pesticide analysis.

MONOMER REACTIVITY RATIO AND THERMAL PERFORMANCE OFα-METHYL STYRENE AND GLYCIDYL METHACRYLATE COPOLYMERS

Synthesis and characterization of the copolymers （PAG） of α-methyl styrene （AMS） and glycidyl methacrylate （GMA） are presented. The copolymers of PAG were characterized by gel permeation chromatography （GPC）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, nuclear magnetic resonance （^1H-NMR） and thermogravimetery （TG）. Based on the copolymer compositions determined by ^1H-NMR, the reactivity ratios of AMS and GMA were found to be 0.105 ± 0.012 and 0.883 ± 0.046 respectively by Kelen-Tudos method. TG revealed that thermal stability of the copolymers decreased with increasing the AMS content in the copolymers, which indicated that the degradation was mainly caused by the chain scission of AMS-containing structures. Under heating, the copolymers depolymerize at their weak bonds and form chain radicals, which could further initiate other chemical reactions.

Characterization ofanovel deep-seamicrobial esterase EstC 10 and its use in the generation o f(R)-methyl 2-chloropropionate

A novel esterase EstC10 from Bacillus sp. CX01 isolated from the deep sea of the Western Pacific Ocean and the functionalities of EstC 10 was characterized. At present, the reports about the kinetic resolution ofracemic methyl 2-chloropropionate were quite rare. So we developed deep-sea microbial esterase EstC10 as a novel biocatalyst in the kinetic resolution of racemic methyl 2-chloropropionate and generate （R）-methyl 2-chloropropionate with high enantiomeric excess （〉99%） after the optimization of process parameters such as pH, temperature, organic co-solvents, surfactants, substrate concentration and reaction time. Notably, the optimal substrate concentration （80 mmol/L） of esterase EstC10 was higher than the kinetic resolution of another esterase, Estl2-7 （50 mmoFL）. The novel microbial esterase EstC10 identified from the deep sea was a promising green biocatalyst in the generation of （R）-methyl 2-chloropropionate as well of many other valuable chiral chemicals in industry.

Controlled Self-assembly of Two Coordination Polymers via subtly Varying Bis(2-methyl imidazole) Ligands:from 3-Connected(6,3) Net to 4-Connected sql Net

Two coordination polymers constructed from 3,4-thiophenedicarboxylic acid and bis（2-methyl imidazole） ligands, namely, {[Cd2（tdc）2（bip）2]·7H20}n （1） and [Cd（tdc）（bib）]n （2） （Hgtdc = 3,4-thiophenedicarboxylic acid, bip = 1,3-bis-（imidazol-2-methyl）propane and bib = 1,4-bis（imidazol-2-methyl）butane）, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analyses reveal that 1 exhibits a two-dimensional （2D） layered network with 3-connected （6,3） topology, which is further connected into a three- dimensional （3D） supramolecular structure by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. However, 2 features a 2D network which can be rationalized as a 4-connected sql net. The results indicate the subtle difference of auxiliary bis（imidazol-2-methyl） ligands may lead to diverse architectures. Moreover, they exhibit luminescence emission in the solid state at room temperature.

Urinary Concentrations of Hydroxyproline and 3-Methyl Histidine in Postpartum Cow

The urinary concentrations of hydroxyproline (HYPRO)and 3 -methyl histidine (3 - MEHIS) were de- termined in 16 Chinese-Holstein cows. The objectives of the experiment were to find out thhe relationship between collagen and myosin ddegradation and uterine involution in the postpartum cow. The results in the experiment showed that the mean concentrations of HYPRO and 3-MEHIS were 138.32±22.99 and 37.09 ±3.90 nmol·mL-1,respectively,for the cows during the days between 60-90 postpartum,and for the cows immediately after calving the concentrations of HYPRO and 3 -MEHIS reduced from 284.30 and 65.48 nmol ·mL-1 on the day one after calving to the normal level of 109.18 and 33.51 nmol·mL^-1 on the day 50 post- partum,respectively. There was a good correlation between the urinary concentrations of both HYPRO and 3 -MEHIS and the diameters of the involuting uterus (r = 0. 79).

Functional characterization of a novel microbial esterase identified from the Indian Ocean and its use in the stereoselective preparation of(R)-methyl mandelate

Genomic mining has identifi ed a novel microbial alkaline esterase from the Indian Ocean. This esterase was overexpressed in E. coli BL21（DE3） and further functionally characterized. Under optimal conditions（10 mmol/L substrate, p H 6.0, 2 h at 40 ℃）, this esterase can hydrolyze racemic methyl mandelate to（ R）-methyl mandelate with very high optical purity（e. e. 〉99%） and yield（nearly 90%）. Interestingly, the stereoselectivity of this esterase is opposite to that of two previously reported lipases that can generate（ S）-methyl mandelate through the hydrolysis of racemic methyl mandelate. No organic solvents or other additives were required to optimize the optical purity and production of the fi nal chiral product（R）-methyl mandelate, which can potentially simplify the production procedure of（ R）-methyl mandelate catalyzed by esterase.

A rapid,simple,and reliable competitive molecular imprinted polymer sorbent assay（MIPSA） was developed and validated for measurement of parathion in water samples.This assay employed a molecular imprinted polymer（MIP） that was synthesized with non-covalent imprinting method as capture reagent and p-aminoparathion conjugate of horseradish peroxidase（para-HRP） as an enzyme label.The assay depended on a competitive binding reaction between the enzyme conjugate and analyte for the binding sites of the MIP.The optimized analysis conditions of 10 ng mL-1 para-HRP and 10 mg mL-1 polymer were found.The assay was acceptable to detect parathion in water samples under the optimized conditions,with a limit of detection of 50 ng mL-1.Mean analytical recoveries of added parathion in water samples ranged from 101.2%to 105%.The precision of the assay was satisfactory; relative standard deviation ranged from 4.3%to 6%.

Theoretical Study on the Reaction Mechanism of o-Aminophenol, Acetic Acid and Phosphorus Oxytrichloride One-pot to Form 2-Methyl Benzoxazole

The reaction mechanism of o-aminophenol, acetic acid and phosphorus oxytrichloride in one-pot to form 2-methyl benzoxazole was studied by density functional theory. The geometries of the reactants, transition states, intermediates and products were optimized at the GGA/PW91/DNP level. Vibration analysis was carried out to confirm the transition state structure. Two possible reaction pathways were investigated in this study. The result indicates that the reaction Re→TS1→IM1→TSA2→IMA2→TSA3→IMA3→TSA4→IMA4→TSA5→P2 is the main pathway, the activation energy of which is the lowest. Re→TS1→IM1 is the rate-limiting step, with the activation energy being 221.54 kJ·mol^(-1) and the reaction heat being 10.06 kJ·mol^(-1). The dominant product predicted theoretically is in agreement with the experiment results.
