  • Certain lactic acid bacteria have anti-tumor activity, especially colon cancer. The fermented milk products containing that kind of lactic acid bacteria have to be recommended for human health as excellent health functional foods. This paper have been classified by 5 regions on the functions of lactic acid bacteria related to prevention of colon cancer. 1) Enhancing of host's immune response; Production of cytokines. 2) Binding and degradation of potential carcinogens; Binding and degradation of mutagenicity. 3) The changes of intestinal microflora and production of antitumorigenic or antimutagenic compounds; Production of azoxymethane. 4) Alteration of the metabolic activity of intestinal microflora; Decrease of harmful enzymes in intestinal tract. 5) Alteration of physicochemical conditions in the colon; Decrease of pH and bile acids contents.

  • Alkoxyamine and thiocarbonyl thio end capped polyethylene (PE) chains were synthesized using a direct and simple approach consisting in reacting di(polyethylenyl)magnesium (PE-Mg-PE) chains with a range of nitroxides and disulfides of thiocarbonyl thio compounds. PE-Mg-PE compounds were prepared by a catalyzed chain growth reaction of ethylene on nbutyloctylmagnesium (BOMg) with a neodymocene complex $(C_{5}Me_{5})_{2}NdCl_{2}Li(OEt_{2})_{2}$. Complete characterizations confirm the introduction of the desired end groups. The controlled radical polymerization (NMP and RAFT) of butyl acrylate mediated by these functional polyethylenes was successful.

  • The reactivity of a range of volatile organic compounds with differing functional groups observed over 0.5% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst. In general, the reactivity pattern observed was alcohols > aromatics > ketones > cycloalkane > alkanes. The deep conversion was increased as reaction temperature was increased. A correlation was found between the reactivity of the individual and the strength of the weakest C-Hbond in structure. The conversion of volatile organic compounds increases in order methanol > benzene > cyclohexane > MEK > n-hexane. That is the effect of differences in total dissociation energy. An apparent zeroth-order kinetics with respect to inlet concentration have been observed. A simple multicomponent model based on two-stage redox model made reasonably good predictions of conversion over the range of parameters studied. thus, the catalytic process was suggested as the new VOCs control technology.

  • In this study, the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of alloying element substituted B2 FeAl systems have been investigated using the all-electron FLAPW method based on the GGA. It was shown that the important changes take place in the structural properties as well as in the magnetism when alloying element is substituted by Fe or Al site in B2 FeAl. Detailed discussion on the thermodynamic and magnetic properties and electronic structure of these intermetallic compounds will be given.

  • This review presents the preparation, transport mechanism and application of molecularly imprinted membranes (MIM). Molecular imprinting has now been established as a technique which allows the creation of tailor-made binding sites for many classes of compounds. MIM have some advantages; a high capacity due to a large surface area, faster transport of substrate molecules and faster equilibrium of binding cavities compared to molecularly imprinted particles. MIM were prepared by covalent and non-covalent chemical bonding systems, by interactions between functional monomer and template. MIM can be prepared by in-situ polymerization, wet phase inversion, dry phase inversion, and surface imprinting method. MIM can continuously separate mixtures based on facilitated or retarded diffusion of the template. MIM can change their permeability in the presence of templates. MIM have a potential to be used to separate chiral compounds and materials with similar structures. However the application of MIM by the chemical industries is still in its infancy stages.

  • In this study ethanol extracts of aerial part of Geranium thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc. was investigated for their ability to inhibit a-glucosidase, and thus was fractionated using two organic solvents, including dichloromethane, ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate-soluble fraction, which manifested potent enzyme inhibitory properties, was then followed by tracking down the active compound by combining HPLC micro-fractionation to an enzyme assay in 96-well plate. The ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity profile showed that two peaks exhibited potent inhibitory activity, and then the structural analyses of the two peaks were carried out by HPLC-UV-MS. The main ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory compounds in the ethyl acetate-soluble fractions of ethanol extracts of Geranium thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc. were tentatively identified as geraniin and kaempferol-7-rhamnoside.

  • Crown ether-based HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) have been successfully utilized in the resolution of various racemic compounds containing a primary amino group. Especially, CSPs based on chiral crown ethers incorporating chiral binaphthyl unit or tartaric acid unit and based on phenolic pseudo chiral crown ethers have shown high chiral recognition efficiency. In this account paper, a review on the development of crown etherbased HPLC CSPs, their structural characteristics and applications to the resolution of racemic compounds including chiral drugs containing a primary or secondary amino group with the variation of the type and the content of mobile phase components and with the variation of the column temperature is presented.

  • Aliphatic & aromatic compounds with two nucleophilic functional groups which were chosen as nucleophiles reacted with 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone as a substrate to give cyclized products by nucleophilic vinyl substitution. And the trends in the syntheses of the heterocyclic compounds was studied and expounded. Besides, the biological activities of the products, especially activity as an agricultural chemical, were examined. Moreover 5-aminomethyl-2-pyrrolidinone was synthesized for the purpose of forming a polynuclear heterocyclic compound containing a similar structure of azasteroid. However only one chlorine of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone was replaced by an amino group of pyrrolidinone and cyclization did not take place.

  • A highly selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for sarcosine, a cancer marker, was prepared and its use as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent material was demonstrated. The MIP was prepared by a very simple procedure using methacrylic acid as functional monomer and a mixture acetonitrile/water (4/1, v/v) as porogen, overcoming in this way the problems usually related to the imprinting of biological polar compounds. The MIP was tested in batch experiments in order to evaluate its binding properties and then used as SPE sorbent for the selective clean-up and pre-concentration of sarcosine. The extraction protocol was successfully applied to the direct extraction of sarcosine from spiked human urine indicating that the MIP allowed sarcosine to be pre-concentrated while simultaneously interfering compounds were removed from the matrix.

  • Linoleic acid and its metabolites have various medicinal effects with carboxylic acid functional group. General carboxylic acid compounds are discovered as glucuronide metabolites by UGT glucuronosyl transferase at liver. Consequently, glucuronides of linoleic acid metabolites are expected as potent conjugated metabolite. A previous study reported two epoxide metabolites and two dihydroxy metabolites of linoleic acid. There are prepared their glucuronic acid conjugated compounds as potent linoleic acid metabolites.
