Fifty-six neonatal IUGR rats and 24 neonatal normal rats were randomly divided into normal control group (C group), IUGR model group (SC group), low protein diet IUGR group (SL group), and high protein diet IUGR group (SH group). Eight rats were killed per group at wk 0, 4, and 12. Serum leptin, body weight (BW), body length (BL), intestinal weight (IW),intestinal length (IL), and intestinal disaccharidase (including lactase, maltase, and saccharase) were detected.RESULTS: BW (4.50±0.41 g), BL (5.96±0.40 cm), IW (0.05±0.01 g), and IL (15.9±2.8 cm) in neonatal IUGR rats were much lower than those in C group (6.01±0.55 g,6.26±0.44 cm, 0.10±0.02 g, 21.8±2.7 cm, P＜0.05), while intestinal lactase and maltase activities were higher than those in C group. SH group showed the fastest catch up growth and their BW, BL, IW, and IL reached the C group level at wk 4. SC group showed relatively slower catch up growth than SH group, and their BW, BL, IW did not reach the C group level at wk 4. SL group did not show intestine and body catch up growth. Intestinal maltase [344±33 μmol/(min.g)] and saccharase activities [138±32μmol/(min.g)] in SL group were both markedly lower than those in C group [751±102, 258±27 μmol/(min.g), P＜0.05].There were no significant differences in lactase activities at wk 4 and disaccharidase activities at wk 12 among all groups (P＞0.05). The leptin level in SL group (0.58±0.12ng/mL) was the highest in all groups, and much lower in SH group (0.21±0.03 ng/mL) than that in any other IUGR groups at wk 4 (P＜0.05). Leptin was negatively related to BW (r= -0.556, P = 0.001), IW (r= -0.692, P= 0.001)and IL (r = -0.738, P = 0.000) at wk 4, while no correlation was found at wk 12.CONCLUSION: High protein diet is a reasonable early nutritional mode to IUGR rats in promoting intestine and body catch up growth.展开更多

As a new kind of macrocyclic host compound, pillar[n]arenes show very good performance in the detection and separation of pesticides, especially for paraquat(PQ). For the pesticide detection and separation materials, their structures determine performance. Therefore, this review summarizes the recent progress of pillar[n]arenes-based materials for detection and separation of pesticides covering single/multi-pillar[n]arenes, pillar[n]arenes-based polymers, frameworks, composites, nanomaterials, etc.The structure-performance relationships of these materials have been discussed according to the cavity size, the synergistic or collaboration effect, the structure of the polymer or framework, the substrate of the composites and the size of nanomaterials and so on. Based on these, we also look forward to the future and point out the possible way for improving the pesticides detection sensitivity and separation efficiency of this kind of materials.展开更多

文摘Pillar[5]arene-based supramolecular polymer gels(SPGs)show broad application prospects.To investigate the influence of the supramolecular monomers'structure on the assembly and properties of corresponding pillar[5]arene-based SPGs,a series of monomers based on different functionalized pillar[5]arene derivatives with various structures were synthesized.There are per-methylated pillar[5]arene(H1),bromobutane-functionalized pillar[5]arene(H2),4-hydroxybenzaldehyde-functionalized pillar[5]arene(H3),ethyl thioglycolate-functionalized pillar[5]arene(H4),thioacetylhydrazine-functionalized pillar[5]arene(H5),bola-type bis-pillar[5]arene(H6)and tripodal-type tri-pillar[5]arene(H7).Meanwhile,a neutral tripodal-guest TG was also employed to co-assemble with these pillar[5]arene-based monomers by host-guest interactions.As a result,under the same conditions(10%,DMSO-H_(2)O,w/v,10 mg·mL^(-1)=1%),H1 and H2 cannot assemble into SPGs with TG.Interestingly,mono-p[5]derivatives H3—H5 could assemble into SPGs with TG.More importantly,bis-p[5]H6 and tri-p[5]H7 could assemble into supramolecular polymer network gel(SPNG)and supramolecular polymer organic framework gel(SOFG)with TG,respectively.These gels all show blue aggregation-induced emission(ALE)properties.Among these SPGs,the SPNG shows the best viscoelastic behavior and self-healing properties.The result is attributed to the flexible network structure of SPNGs.In addition,the xerogels of SOFG and SPNG have shown nice adsorption and separation properties for organic dyes in water solution.
