[Study on the Release Process for Lavender Essential Oil Microcapsule by FTIR].

In order to find out the constitute forms of lavenderessential oil-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex and the process of release of lavenderessential oilwith temperature changes, we used Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) method to compare and analyze lavender essential oil (LO), β- cyclodextrin (β-CD) and lavender essential oil microcapsule (LOM), while the infrared spectral changes of release process at different temperatures of the oil in microcapsulewas analyzed, andthe principal component method was further used to explore the physical and chemical stability and release process of LO after it was entrapped by β-CD. The results showed that comparative analysis by infrared spectroscopy, characteristic peaks of LO embedded had redshift peak and its peak shape became wider, which mainly affected by the formation of molecular hydrogen bonds , p-π conjugate phenomenon and the spatial structure of β-CD; in addition, we set temperature range from 25 to 95 ℃, the temperature interval of 10 ℃, and then determined LOM by IR spectrum to test and verify physical and chemical stability and release conditions of LO which was embedded by β-CD. The results demonstrated that, water molecule inLOM hydrate was easily lost and the essential oil component of LOM was in stable physical and chemical properties, and the amount of escaping for LO at 95 ℃ was less than 6.

[Main Components of Xinjiang Lavender Essential Oil Determined by Partial Least Squares and Near Infrared Spectroscopy].

This work was undertaken to establish a quantitative analysis model which can rapid determinate the content of linalool, linalyl acetate of Xinjiang lavender essential oil. Totally 165 lavender essential oil samples were measured by using near infrared absorption spectrum (NIR), after analyzing the near infrared spectral absorption peaks of all samples, lavender essential oil have abundant chemical information and the interference of random noise may be relatively low on the spectral intervals of 7100~4500 cm(-1). Thus, the PLS models was constructed by using this interval for further analysis.

Identification of MXRA5 as a novel biomarker in colorectal cancer.

In our previous study, significantly high expression levels of matrix-remodeling associated 5 (MXRA5) were identified in fresh-cultured colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues compared with their normal adjacent mucosa by differential secretome analysis. Whether MXRA5 is a potential serum biomarker of CRC has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between MXRA5 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of CRC patients.
