Abstract:
Betulinic acid as a kind of pentacyclic triterpenoid lupine has caught wide attention due to the significant anti-tumor and anti-HIV viral properties. Betulinic acid existing in many plants can be obtained by extraction method. Because of the low content in plants, betulinic acid is obtained mainly by chemical synthesis. A series of betulinic acid derivatives also have antitumor activity. In this paper, both extraction and chemical synthesis methods of betulinic acid as well as the synthetic routes of betulinic acid derivatives are reviewed. The anti-tumor pathways and mechanisms of betulinic acid and its derivatives are also outlined.

[Abstract](463) [FullText HTML] [PDF 1066KB](2)
Abstract:
The chelated iron desulfurization has realized the catalyst recycling, in which ferrous ion regeneration is the core of the whole technology. In the regeneration process, researchers found the reaction to be first order, second order in Fe2+, and even found a transition in reaction order from 1 to 2, due to the different reaction rate constant ratio. The ferrous ion can be oxidized by molecular oxygen (O2) and its derivatives (such as superoxide (Hn+O2·), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radical (OH·)) or high valence state of iron containing oxygen intermediates (such as (L)Fe4+=O, (L·+) Fe4+=O and (L)nFe4+(OH)(OOH)). The oxidation mechanism of ferrous NTA appeared to be similar to that of ferrous chelates of EDTA and HEDTA. In the regeneration process, there was a suitable pH range for the ligand. When ligand NTA was excessive, its activity depends on the pH and the concentration of NTA, and the differences of the NTA concentration lead to different reaction pathways. In the oxidation reactions, the chelate degradation occurred due to the excess oxygen consumption by the ligand, which leads to the deviation of the stoichiometry.

[Abstract](520) [FullText HTML] [PDF 1180KB](1)
Abstract:
The widespread application of MBRs is restricted by membrane fouling; therefore, the investigation of fouling mechanism is essential to the development of effective fouling control strategies in the application of MBRs. XDLVO theory explains the contribution of van der Waals force, polar force and electrostatic double layer force in the process of membrane fouling and effectively reveals the membrane fouling mechanism. In this paper, XDLVO theory was described, and then the short-range interfacial interaction in the formation of gel layer and cake layer was analyzed by applying this theory. Finally, the research progress in membrane fouling based on XDLVO theory was reviewed and prospected.

Abstract:
4-Hydroxy phenylacetyl hydrazine was synthesized by methyl 4-hydroxyphenylacetate and hydrazine hydrate, then reacted with halogenated benzaldehyde (X=F, Cl, Br) to form three new kinds of compoundsⅠ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Their single crystals were respectively obtained. The structures of three new compounds were determined by element analysis and X-ray single crystal diffraction. The X-ray single crystal diffraction showed that three new compounds all belonged to the triclinic, P1 space group, and each molecular staggered to pile up through hydrogen bond. Thermal gravity analyses were used to investigate the stabilities of three new compounds, and the apparent activation energy Ea of the decompositions were also calculated. UV-Vis spectrum was used to explore the interaction of the three kinds of compounds with ct-DNA. The results showed that the three acetyl hydrazone compounds can combine with ct-DNA by the mode of insertion. The heating effects of the interaction process between compounds and ct-DNA were also analyzed by microcalorimetric method, the enthalpy change values ΔH of Ⅰ、Ⅱ and Ⅲ were 1.87, 2.86 and 5.54 kJ·mol-1. The strength order for interactions of compounds with ct-DNA was Ⅲ >Ⅱ >Ⅰ. CCDC:1402717, Ⅰ; 1063026, Ⅱ; 1061929, Ⅲ.

[Abstract](594) [FullText HTML] [PDF 1532KB](0)
Abstract:
Two L-tyrosine derivatives, (E)-3-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-[3"-(2'''-methoxyphenyl)acrylamido]propanoic acid (I) and (E)-3-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-[3"-(3'''-methoxyphenyl)acrylamido]propanoic acid (II), were synthesized from o-methoxycinnamic acid and m-methoxycinnamic acid respectively. Their structures were characterized by ESI-MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The mechanism of the interaction between derivatives and human serum albumin (HSA) was researched by the fluorescence emission spectra, synchronous fluorescence spectra, UV-Vis spectra and molecular docking. The results indicated that the quenching mechanism of derivatives and HSA was static. The process was accompanied with the non-radiative energy transfer. Hydrophobic interaction was the predominant intermolecular force in the combination of derivatives and HSA. The process was spontaneous. Molecular docking showed that the hydrophobic cavity of the subdomain IIA (site I) was the location of the binding site of derivative I/II and HSA. Hydrophobic interaction contributed to their combination, which was consistent with the experimental results.

2016, 79(7): 667-670,666
[Abstract](2663) [FullText HTML] [PDF 1351KB](2)
Abstract:
The Nomenclature of Chemistry approved in 1932 by the Ministry of Education established unified standard for Chinese chemical terms. The majority of its names are in use today. For the choice of characters in naming chemical elements and compounds, the Nomenclature proposed the general principle that "phonograms are preferred, associative characters second, and pictographic characters are not valued". According to this rule, it created many brand-new pictophonetic terms such as ben(苯), nai(萘), en(蒽)and fei(菲). However, the three former names it adopted wan(烷), xi(烯)and que(炔)are ideographic, which seems to run counter to the principle. This paper discusses various historical translated terms for wan, xi and que, and explains reasonably why these three words were accepted by the Nomenclature.

Abstract:
Snapping shrimps preys by clasping its large claw to send out high speed water jet, triggering a stunning sound together with very high temperature and light emission. In this paper, systematic analysis of the striking process is made based on the principles of physical chemistry such as energy conservation and adiabatic process. Through calculation of the kinetic energy induced by the water jet, the expansion work and heat relating to the formation of the largest vapor bubble during the strike, the total energy sent by the interesting marine creature are determined. By calculating the residual vapor volume after collapsing of the bubble, the highest temperature that the residual vapor could attain, the optical energy and the acoustic energy, the dissipation ways of the energy sent by the shrimp are revealed. It is found that the whole strike process can be satisfactorily explained.

Abstract:
TiO2 and NiFe2O4 were prepared by precipitation method and sol-gel method respectively, and the characterizations of SEM and XRD indicated that the particle sizes of as-prepared NiFe2O4 and TiO2 are uniform. Then, the results of IR and Zeta potential tests showed that the NiFe2O4 was successfully modified by CTAB. The W/O/W multiple Pickering emulsion was prepared by the stability of modified NiFe2O4 and TiO2 through two-step process, and its macro and micro morphologies were observed by digital photo and optical microscope. The investigation showed that the size of single Pickering emulsion was uniform and the size of multiple Pickering emulsion was wider, but they were both very stable.
