ABSTRACT

Chiral metal-organic frameworks(CMOFs)with enantiomeric subunits have been employed in chiral chemistry.In this study,a CMOF formed from 6-methoxyl-(8S,9R)-cinchonan-9-ol-3-carboxylic acid(HQA)and ZnCl2,{(HQA)(ZnCl2)(2.5H2O)}n was constructed as a chiral stationary phase(CSP)via an in situ fabrication approach and used for chiral amino acid and drug analyses for the first time.The{(HQA)(ZnCl2)(2.5H2O)}n nanocrystal and the corresponding chiral stationary phase were systematically characterised using a series of analytical techniques including scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,circular dichroism,X-ray photoelectron spectros-copy,thermogravimetric analysis,and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurements.In open-tubular capillary electrochromatography(CEC),the novel chiral column exhibited strong and broad enantioselectivity toward a variety of chiral analytes,including 19 racemic dansyl amino acids and several model chiral drugs(both acidic and basic).The chiral CEC conditions were optimised,and the enantioseparation mechanisms are discussed.This study not only introduces a new high-efficiency member of the MOF-type CSP family but also demonstrates the potential of improving the enantiose-lectivities of traditional chiral recognition reagents by fully using the inherent characteristics of porous organic frameworks.

ABSTRACT

Capillary electrochromatography(CEC)plays a significant role in chiral separation via the double sepa-ration principle,partition coefficient difference between the two phases,and electroosmotic flow-driven separation.Given the distinct properties of the inner wall stationary phase(SP),the separation ability of each SP differs from one another.Particularly,it provides large room for promising applications of open tubular capillary electrochromatography(OT-CEC).We divided the OT-CEC SPs developed over the past four years into six types:ionic liquids,nanoparticle materials,microporous materials,biomaterials,non-nanopolymers,and others,to mainly introduce their characteristics in chiral drug separation.There also added a few classic SPs that occurred within ten years as supplements to enrich the features of each SP.Additionally,we discuss their applications in metabolomics,food,cosmetics,environment,and biology as analytes in addition to chiral drugs.OT-CEC plays an increasingly significant role in chiral separation and may promote the development of capillary electrophoresis(CE)combined with other instruments in recent years,such as CE with mass spectrometry(CE/MS)and CE with ultraviolet light detector(CE/UV).

ABSTRACT

Here,a styrene-based polymer monolithic column poly(VBS-co-TAT-co-AHM)with reversed-phase/hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography(RPLC/HILIC)bifunctional separation mode was success-fully prepared for capillary electrochromatography by the in situ polymerization of sodium p-styrene sulfonate(VBS)with cross-linkers 3-(acryloyloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate(AHM)and 1,3,5-triacryloylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine(TAT).The preparation conditions of the monolith were optimized.The morphology and formation of the poly(VBS-co-TAT-co-AHM)monolith were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR).The separation perfor-mances of the monolith were evaluated systematically.It should be noted that the incorporation of VBS functional monomer can provide π-π interactions,hydrophilic interactions,and ion-exchange in-teractions.Hence,the prepared poly(VBS-co-TAT-co-AHM)monolith can achieve efficient separation of thiourea compounds,benzene series,phenol compounds,aniline compounds and sulfonamides in RPLC or HILIC separation mode.The largest theoretical plate number for N,N'-dimethylthiourea reached 1.7×105 plates/m.In addition,the poly(VBS-co-TAT-co-AHM)monolithic column showed excellent reproducibility and stability.This novel monolithic column has great application value and potential in capillary electrochromatography(CEC).

ABSTRACT

Yerba mate ( Ilex paraguariensis ) produces several secondary metabolites of interest to the phar maceutical industry, such as chlorogenic acids and methylxanthines. These compounds have been produced in vitro by callus culture from different species. However, for I. paraguariensis , no studies upon the production of these compounds in vitro have been p erformed to date. In this work, we show that the concentration of secondary metabolites from I. paraguariensis callus is possible and highly dependent on the callus growth phase. We observed that the best phase for the production of secondary compounds in calli of yerba mate is the stationary growth phase on both genotypes tested. In this phase, higher levels of phenolic compounds, chlorogenic acid and 3,5 - dicaffeoylquinic acid and greater antioxidant activity were observed. Chlorogenic acid and 3,5 - dicaffe oylquinic acid presented positive correlation with antioxidant activity. For the first time, secondary compounds were reported in yerba mate calli cultivated in vitro .

Sin embargo, para I. paraguariensis , hasta la fecha no se han realizado estudios sobre la producción de estos compuestos in vitro . En este trabajo, mostramos que la concentración de metabolitos secundarios desde callos de I. pa raguariensis es posible y altamente dependiente de la fase de crecimiento del callo. Observamos que la mejor fase para la producción de compuestos secundarios en callos de yerba mate es la fase de crecimiento estacionario en ambos genotipos probados. En es ta fase se observaron niveles más altos de compuestos fenólicos, ácido clorogénico y ácido 3,5 - dicafeoilquínico y una mayor actividad antioxidante. El ácido clorogénico y el ácido 3,5 - dicafeoilquínico presentaron correlación positiva con la actividad antio xidante. Por primera vez, se reportaron compuestos secundarios en callos de yerba mate cultivados in vitro .

ABSTRACT

Homochiral metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)have attracted considerable attention in many fields of research,such as chiral catalysis and chiral chromatography.However,only few homochiral MOFs can be effectively used in capillary electrochromatography(CEC)and their performances are far from adequate.In this study,we successfully synthesized achiral nanocrystalline MIL-53.A facile post-synthetic modi-fication strategy was then implemented to functionalize the product,yielding a homochiral MOF:L-His-NH-MIL-53.This MOF was then employed as a chiral coating in open-tubular CEC mode(OT-CEC),and,as such,it exhibited high enantioselectivities for several racemic drugs.The homochiral MOF and the fabricated capillary coating were systematically characterized using transmission electron microscopy,scanning electron microscopy(with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry),Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy,X-ray diffractometry,thermogravimetric analysis,circular dichroism spectroscopy,Bru-nauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurements,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.This study is expected to provide a new strategy for the design and establishment of MOF-based chiral OT-CEC systems.

ABSTRACT

The detection of electrocardiogram (ECG) characteristic wave is the basis of cardiovascular disease analysis and heart rate variability analysis. In order to solve the problems of low detection accuracy and poor real-time performance of ECG signal in the state of motion, this paper proposes a detection algorithm based on segmentation energy and stationary wavelet transform (SWT). Firstly, the energy of ECG signal is calculated by segmenting, and the energy candidate peak is obtained after moving average to detect QRS complex. Secondly, the QRS amplitude is set to zero and the fifth component of SWT is used to locate P wave and T wave. The experimental results show that compared with other algorithms, the algorithm in this paper has high accuracy in detecting QRS complex in different motion states. It only takes 0.22 s to detect QSR complex of a 30-minute ECG record, and the real-time performance is improved obviously. On the basis of QRS complex detection, the accuracy of P wave and T wave detection is higher than 95%. The results show that this method can improve the efficiency of ECG signal detection, and provide a new method for real-time ECG signal classification and cardiovascular disease diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To establish a platelet cell membrane chromatographic model and investigate the retention behaviors of anti-platelet aggregation drugs on chromatographic column at different temperatures, and simulate the interactions between drugs and platelets under normal and febrile pathological conditions. METHODS: The platelet cell membrane chromatographic stationary phase was constructed by physical adsorption method. The column was packed with wet method. The protein content was determined by BCA protein concentration assay kit. The biological activity was determined by Na+, K+-ATPase assay kit. The chromatographic model was used to investigate the specificity of the column and the retention characteristics of drugs in the temperature range of 35.0-42.0℃. RESULTS: The activity of platelet ATPase was 0.214, and the concentration of platelet membrane protein was 0.340 9 mg•mL-1 before bonding and 0.080 5 mg•mL-1 after bonding. The retention characteristics of clopidogrel, dipyridamole and cilostazole on platelet cell membrane chromatographic column and blank silica gel column were quite different. The retention time of the three drugs on platelet cell membrane chromatographic column was the maximum at 36.0℃, and then decreased with the increase of temperature. CONCLUSION: A platelet cell membrane chromatographic model is successfully constructed, and the retention characteristics of antiplatelet aggregates at different temperatures are studied for the first time. The chromatographic retention behaviors of antiplatelet aggregates at normal and febrile body temperatures are simulated.

ABSTRACT

Chromatography can be described as a mass transfer process involving adsorption using a nonpolar stationary phase and a mobile polar phase titrating through the column. The active component of the column, the sorbent or the stationary phase , is typically a granular material made of solid particles (e.g. silica, polymers, etc.,). The component of the sample mixture are separated from each other by means of mobile phase and different degrees of interaction with the sorbent particles based on their relative polarity. In the present study we have extracted piperine from grounded pepper using different chemicals such as petroleum ether, acetone and methanol. Petroleum ether extraction showed higher piperine content of 9.12% than methanol and acetone 3.15% and 3.37% respectively.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Enhanced S-cone syndrome (ESCS), a rare disorder, is often misdiagnosed as other forms of retinal degenerations, which have a poorer prognosis than ESCS. The aim of this study is to report the varied clinical features of ESCS and distinguish it from other similar disorders. Methods: We retrospectively scrutinized the records of patients with confirmed diagnosis of ESCS and analyzed the findings. Results: We included 14 patients (age range 4–39 years) who were confirmed to have ESCS according to pathognomonic electroretinography (ERG) showing reduced photopic, combined responses, and 30 Hz flicker with reduced L, M cone responses and supernormal S cone responses. The disease presented in the 1st decade with night blindness and was almost stationary or minimally progressive. Mid-peripheral fundus changes in form of nummular pigmentary alterations, yellow punctate lesions, and macular schisis were noted. The vision ranged from 6/6 to 6/36 with follow-up ranging from 1month to 22 years. Conclusion: ESCS shows varied clinical features ranging from unremarkable fundus to pigment clumping and atrophic lesions. It has good prognosis with patients mostly maintaining their vision. ERG is diagnostic. More awareness and knowledge about this entity can help to differentiate it from other forms of night blindness.

ABSTRACT

Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) is a micro-scale separation technique which is a hybrid between capillary electrophoresis (CE) and liquid chromatography (LC). CEC can be performed in packed, monolithic and open-tubular columns. In recent three years (from 2016 to 2018), enormous attention for CEC has been the development of novel stationary phases. This review mainly covers the development of novel stationary phases for open-tubular and monolithic columns. In particular, some biomaterials attracted increasing interest. There are no significant breakthroughs in technology and principles in CEC. The typical CEC applications, especially chiral separations are described.

ABSTRACT

Aims@#YuiC is a stationary phase survival (Sps) protein from the Firmicute Bacillus subtilis that possesses muralytic activity to cleave bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan. It has a small lytic transglycosylase (MltA) fold analogous to the resuscitation promoting factors (Rpfs) of Actinobacteria which have a hybrid of a mini lysozyme and soluble lytic transglycosylase (Slt35/70) fold. The present study aimed at identifying key residues of YuiC/Sps that are catalytically active and studying the effect of B. subtilis cell growth upon sps/yuiC deletion. @*Methodology and results@#Four forms of mutated yuiC were created through Site-directed, Ligase-Independent Mutagenesis Polymerase Chain Reaction (SLIM PCR) that include the substitutions of D129A, D151A, D162A and K102A. These individual mutated yuiC genes were cloned and expressed in the Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) expression system and subsequently purified to homogeneity using affinity, cation exchange and size exclusion chromatography. The D129A variant was shown to be insoluble, indicating its role in maintaining the right protein folding of YuiC. The remaining three variants resulted in soluble proteins but were inactive on zymograms indicating that they may be responsible for catalysis. B. subtilis cells harbouring individual sps genes (yuiC, yabE, yocH and yorM) knocked out showed stationary phase defects and altered colony morphologies compared to the wild type. @*Conclusion, significance and impact of study@#This study has identified the key residues involved in catalysis of YuiC, which are the D151, D162 and K102. These are conserved in Sps domains. The catalytic mechanism of YuiC is similar to the mechanism reported for Neisseria gonorrhoeae MltA. sps/yuiC knock outs have implied that each sps/yuiC has a significant role on B. subtilis late growth stage. The B. subtilis YuiC/Sps model has given an insight into Sps functions in the final growth stage of the Firmicutes, which members include etiologic agents of anthrax, botulism and listeriosis. Inhibition of Sps protein may inactivate pathogen replication and facilitate entrance into a non-contagious dormant sporulation stage.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we present and investigate a special kind of stationary wavelet algorithm using “inverse” hard threshold to eliminate the electrocardiogram (ECG) interference included in diaphragmatic electromyographic (EMGdi). Differing from traditional wavelet hard threshold, “inverse” hard threshold is used to shrink strong coefficients of ECG interference and reserve weak coefficients of EMGdi signal. Meanwhile, a novel QRS location algorithm is proposed for the position detection of R wave by using low frequency coefficients in this paper. With the proposed method, raw EMGdi is decomposed by wavelet at fifth scale. Then, each ECG interference threshold is calculated by mean square, which is estimated by wavelet coefficients in the ECG cycle at each level. Finally, ECG interference wavelet coefficients are removed by “inverse” hard threshold, and then the de-noised signal is reconstructed by wavelet coefficients. The simulation and clinical EMGdi de-noising results show that the “inverse” hard threshold investigated in this paper removes the ECG interference in EMGdi availably and reserves its signal characteristics effectively, as compared to wavelet threshold.

ABSTRACT

In the pharmaceutical industry, the analysis of atropisomers is of considerable interest from both scientific and regulatory perspectives. The compound of interest contains two stereogenicaxes due to the hindered rotation around the single bonds connecting the aryl groups, which results in fourpotential configurational isomers (atropisomers). The separation of the four atropisomers was achieved on aderivatized β-cyclodextrin bonded stationary phase. Further investigation showed that low temperatureconditions, including sample preparation (?70 °C), sample storage (?70 °C), and chromatographic separation (6 °C),were critical to preventing interconversion. LC-UV-laser polarimetric analysis identified peaks 1 and 2as a pair of enantiomers and peaks 3 and 4 as another. Thermodynamic analysis of the retention data indicatedthat the separation of the pairs of enantiomers is primarily enthalpy controlled as indicated by the positiveslope of the van't Huff plot. The difference in absolute Δ (Δ H), ranged from 2.20 kJ/mol to 2.42 kJ/mol.

ABSTRACT

2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and sodium monochloroacetate were employed to synthesize [2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl] dimethyl ammonium acetate (CBMA) functional monomer.CBMA was grafted on the surface of silica by surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) to obtain silica-CBMA hydrophilic interaction stationary phase.Three silica-CBMA stationary phases with different grafted density of CBMA monomer were synthesized in SI-ATRP progress by changing the concentration of CBMA under the same conditions.The ability to separate organic acid compounds of the synthesized silica-CBMA stationary phases was evaluated under different conditions, including effects of pH value, salt concentration and content of water of mobile phase on retention of solutes.The results showed that the stationary phases could effectively separate organic acid compounds in HILIC mode, which followed a mixed mode of chromatography of ion exchange and hydrophilic interaction.The retention of solutes decreased with the increases of salt concentration of mobile phase, which consistent with the characteristics of ion exchange;the pH value of mobile phase had significant influence on ionization of the stationary phase and solutes, i.e., the retention of solutes increased as the increasing of pH value of mobile phase.However, the retention of solutes decreased with the increasing of the content of water in mobile phase, which was the typical characteristic of HILIC.The method of hydrophilic interaction chromatography combined with silica-CBMA stationary phases could conveniently determinate the content of vitamin C and rutin in rutin tablets, providing a new method for the separation and determination of strong polar samples.

ABSTRACT

Any strenuous muscular exercise may trigger rhabdomyolysis. We report an episode of clinically manifested exertional rhabdomyolysis due to stationary cycling, commonly known as spinning. Reports of spinning-related rhabdomyolysis are rare in the English literature, and the current case appears to be the first such case reported in South Korea. A previously healthy 21-year-old Asian woman presented with severe thigh pain and reddish-brown urinary discoloration 24–48 hours after attending a spinning class at a local gymnasium. Paired with key laboratory findings, her symptoms were suggestive of rhabdomyolysis. She required hospital admission to sustain renal function through fluid resuscitation therapy and fluid balance monitoring. Because exertional rhabdomyolysis may occur in any unfit but otherwise healthy individual who indulges in stationary cycling, the potential health risks of this activity must be considered.

ABSTRACT

Dormancy models for Mycobacterium tuberculosis play important roles in understanding various aspects of tuberculosis pathogenesis and in the testing of novel therapeutic regimens. By simulating the latent tuberculosis infection, in which the bacteria exist in a non-replicative state, the models demonstrate reduced susceptibility to antimycobacterial agents. This minireview outlines the models available for simulating latent tuberculosis both in vitro and in several animal species. Additionally, this minireview discusses the advantages and disadvantages of these models for investigating the bacterial subpopulations and susceptibilities to sterilization by various antituberculosis drugs.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of stationary cycle training on lower limb muscle tension and motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods Sixty-seven children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into a treatment group (n =34) and a control group (n =33).Both were treated with routine rehabilitation therapy,including neurodevelopment treatment,massage and physical agent therapy.The treatment group additionally cycled on a stationary bicycle for 20 min a day,five days a week for 3 months.Muscle tension in the children's adductor,hamstring and gastrocnemius muscles was evaluated using the modified Ashworth scale (MAS),while the adductor angle,popliteal fossa angle and foot dorsiflexion angle were measured using a joint protractor.Moreover,the 88-item version of the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) was used to evaluate gross motor function.Results After treatment the average muscle tension of both groups was significantly lower than before treatment.The average muscle tension scores of the adductors,hamstrings and calf muscles of the treatment group [(1.79±0.54),(1.00±0.60),(2.29 ±1.77)] were significantly lower than those of the controls [(1.82 ± 0.53),(1.15 ± 0.44),(2.52 ± 1.89)].The adductor angles,popliteal fossa angles and foot dorsiflexion angles of both groups were significantly larger than before treatment,and the angles in the treatment group [(97.06 ± 19.03) °,(53.38 ± 12.54) ° and (8.38 ± 9.11) ° respectively] were significantly larger on average than those in the control [(98.94 ± 21.42) °,(56.52 ± 12.90) ° and (5.30 ± 14.30) ° respectively].After treatment the total GMFM scores of both groups were better than before treatment,but the treatment group's average score(138.18 ± 54.86) was significantly better than that of the control group(112.21 ± 62.44).Conclusion Three months of stationary cycle training can effectively reduce the muscle tension of children with spastic cerebral palsy and improve their motor function.
