The present study investigated the effect of MIAQ on rat aorta endothelial cells （RAECs） injured by hydrogen peroxide （H2O2）, as well as the potential mechanisms. We observed that MIAQ at 2.5-10μmol/L significantly enhanced the viability of injured RAECs, and the effect was more potent than quercetin and ct-tocopherol. However, M1AQ at the same concentration failed to show anti-oxidant activity in a cell-free system. In H2O2-injured endothelial cells treated with MIAQ （5-10μmol/L）, the level of nitric oxide （NO） and malondialdehyde was decreased, and the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase was enhanced. In addition, RAECs treated with MIAQ （2.5-10 μmol/L） exhibited significant inhibiting apoptosis. In conclusion, MIAQ had protective effect on RAECs, possibly through increasing NO production and antioxidases activities, as well as inhibiting apoptosis. These findings suggest that MIAQ is possibly beneficial in the prevention of atherosclerosis and other diseases related to endothelial injury.展开更多

Previous studies had proved that BDE209 itself was not toxic, while its metabolites including debrominated diphenyl ethers （De-BDEs） and methoxylated brominated diphenyl ethers （MeO-BDEs） posed a potential threat to organisms. Many studies had indicated that BDE209 could metabolize quickly in mammals, but lacking in the basic data about the metabolism of BDE209 in fish. In the present study, two replicate treatment groups of rainbow trout （Oncorhynchus rnykiss） were exposed to BDE209 via a single intraperitoneal injection approximately 100 and 500 ng/g, respectively. Muscle, liver and blood samples were collected to analyze the specific metabolites on day 1 and day 28 post injection. The highest concentration of BDE209 was detected in muscle tissues, from 796.1 ng/g wet weight （day 1） to 687.1 ng/g wet weight （day 28） in high dose group, suggesting that BDE209 could accumulate slightly in muscle tissues. However, BDE209 was not detected in the blood for all treatments. Most congeners of De-BDEs were found in muscle and liver tissues, with the highest concentration in the liver. The main De-BDEs were nona-, octa-, hepta- and penta-De-BDEs. A total of seven MeO-BDE metabolites were observed among different fish tissues. Blood had the highest contribution of the MeO-BDE metabolites. Each MeO-BDE congener increased over the 28 days. These results in contrast to other studies suggested possible species-specific differences in metabolic abilities.展开更多

Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group P2/c and adopts a slightly distorted octahedral configuration. In compound 1, the 2D bilayered structures are linked by O-H...O and O-H...N hydrogen bonds to form a 3D framework. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group P2/n, and the central nickel atoms are octa-coordinated with five O atoms from coordinated water molecules and one N atom from one H2L ligand. The abundant O-H…O hydrogen bonds and π…π interactions link the molecules into a 3D framework. In addition, compounds 1 and 2 exhibit strong ultraviolet absorption in the solid state at room temperature.展开更多

Determination of the peroxide value (P.V.) and the p-Anisidine value (p-A.V.) was done according to the standard methods of analysis. The compounds were tested for in vitro cytotoxicity against a mammalian cell-line, Chinese Hamster Ovarian (CHO) using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide (MTT)-assay. Studies on changes in peroxide and p-Anisidine values for the oils heated to temperatures between 180°C and 200°C recorded better stability enhancement at 100 ppm concentration with these flavonoids than the commercial antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The plant-based flavonoids had no significant cytotoxic effect against the CHO cell-line and may serve as alternative antioxidants to synthetic ones which have previously raised great concern over the health of consumers.展开更多

Experimental results showed that in 0.2 molL-1 sodium citrate-hydrochloric acid buffer solution (pH=4.65), SMHS caused only one reduction wave at -1.34 V (vs. saturated calomel electrode, SCE), which was an irreversi-ble adsorptive wave of SMHS protonized involving one electron and one proton. The peak current of SMHS on lin-ear sweep voltammogram was proportional to its concentration in the range of 8.0×10-6—8.0×10-5 molL-1 (r=0.995), and the detection limit was 5.0×10-6 mol昄-1. The method was applied to determination of SMHS in syn-thetic samples. In addition, its scavenging effect on superoxide anion radical was studied by the auto-oxidation of pyrogallol in HCl-tris buffer solution (pH=8.2) in order to explain its peculiar biological effects. The experimental results proved that SMHS has antioxidant quality, and it is an efficient free radical scavenger of superoxide anion radical.展开更多
