The main anthocyanin monomer of Lycium ruthenicum Murray induces apoptosis through the ROS/PTEN/PI3K/Akt/caspase 3 signaling pathway in prostate cancer DU-145 cells.

Anthocyanins have been reported to have effective chemopreventive activity. Lycium ruthenicum Murray is rich in anthocyanins and exhibits many biological activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects and possible biological mechanism of the main anthocyanin monomer (Pt3G) of Lycium ruthenicum Murray on prostate cancer DU-145 cells.

[Enhancing stimulated Raman scattering of water and heavy water lattice vibration by laser induced plasma].

Stimulated Raman scattering was studied in water and heavy water using pulse laser at the wavelength of 532nm, not only obtaining the stimulated Raman of O-H and O-D stretching vibration, but also obtaining the stimulated Raman lattice vibration. When the laser energy was 130 mJ, the low frequency Stokes and anti-Stokes 313 cm(-1) line of water could be observed; When the laser energy was 160 mJ, the low frequnecy Stokes and anti-Stokes 280 cm(-1) line of heavy water could be observed. The results were explained by physics mechanism of laser induced plasma.

[Analysis of spectral intensity of fermi resonance of molecules].

Raman spectra of liquid carbon disulfide (CS) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) were measured. And the spectral intensity was analyzed using the J. F.

[Study of biological molecules in water by using the resonance raman spectra in liquid-core optical fiber].

Raman spectrum is an important and effective method for the study of biological molecules in water. Measuring the Raman spectra for biological molecules in water, however, is very difficult because of the small Raman scattering cross section and the high electronic excitation energy of water molecules. In the present paper, the authors applied both technologies of liquid-core optical fiber and the resonance Raman spectra, then the intensity of Raman spectra was enhanced to a great extent.

[Explanation of C=O of acetone changing in solvents by some models].

Raman spectra of acetone's carbonyl stretching in 16 solvents were measured, and were also calculated by self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) method in Gaussian03. The frequency shift in experiment was analyzed by donor-acceptor model, Kirkwood model and SCRF model respectively. Among them, the donor-acceptor model can explain the shift very well.

[FTIR spectroscopic investigations on the difference in cartilage composition between youth and elder].

Cartilage of youth and elder was measured by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). Area integrations were done on the major composition of organic and inorganic substance's infrared bands processed using OMNIC 5. 2.
