含锆层柱蒙脱石对1,2,4三甲基苯歧化反应的催化作用

用离子共聚法合成了硅锆层柱蒙脱石（ＳｉＺｒＰＩＬＭ）和铁锆层柱蒙脱石（ＦｅＺｒＰＩＬＭ），考察了它们对１，２，４三甲基苯（１，２，４ＴｒＭＢ）歧化反应的催化性能．１，２，４ＴｒＭＢ在催化剂样品上可发生歧化反应和异构化反应，歧化反应选择性达８０％以上．随着催化剂预处理温度的提高，１，２，４ＴｒＭＢ转化率下降，歧化反应选择性和四甲基苯（ＴｅＭＢ）中１，２，４，５ＴｅＭＢ含量则升高．催化剂对１，２，４ＴｒＭＢ歧化反应有择形催化作用，１，２，４，５ＴｅＭＢ和间二甲苯、邻二甲苯为主要产物，并且其含量偏离其热力学平衡组成，ＴｅＭＢ中１，２，４，５ＴｅＭＢ的含量在８５％以上．     

亚纳秒脉冲高电压测量探头

为测量紧凑型快前沿高电压脉冲源的输出电压,设计了D-dot电压探头。分别进行了刻度因素标定和频响标定,采用前沿约50 ns的高压脉冲信号对探头进行在线标定确定探头的刻度因素。将探头安装在阻抗为50 的传输线上,用亚纳秒脉冲源进行频响标定,表明该探头的响应约为150 ps。高压实验结果表明该探头能够正确获取高电压快脉冲信号,工作稳定可靠。     

Eu(Ⅲ)在蒙脱石上的吸附及碳酸根和磷酸根对其吸附的影响

锕系核素在处置库围岩和缓冲回填材料中的吸附和迁移参数是处置库安全评价的重要数据模块之一，而Eu(Ⅲ)由于其与三价锕系元素An(Ⅲ)相似的离子半径和化学性质常被用于模拟三价锕系元素的化学行为。本文通过批式吸附实验研究了固液比、接触时间、离子强度、pH、碳酸根及磷酸根等对Eu(Ⅲ)在蒙脱石上吸附的影响，重点关注了吸附机理和表面种态。研究结果表明，低pH时Eu(Ⅲ)在蒙脱石上的吸附方式为外层配位吸附，近中性时为内层配位吸附，高pH时则以表面沉淀的方式被吸附。离子强度的增大对Eu(Ⅲ)在低pH时的吸附产生抑制作用。低pH时碳酸根对Eu(Ⅲ)吸附的影响不明显，但在高pH时其会改变Eu(Ⅲ)的表面吸附种态。尽管磷酸根本身的吸附非常弱，但磷酸根会显著增强Eu(Ⅲ)的吸附。X射线光电子能谱结果和磷酸根吸附实验说明Eu(Ⅲ)在蒙脱石表面上形成了EuPO₄沉淀。本工作研究了蒙脱石/Eu(Ⅲ)二元体系和蒙脱石/Eu(Ⅲ)/阴离子三元体系的吸附行为，并用光谱技术探究了其吸附种态，为理解三价锕系核素在蒙脱石上的吸附行为提供了重要参考。     

A dual-modal probe for NIR fluorogenic and ratiometric photoacoustic imaging of Cys/Hcy in vivo

Biothiols, such as cysteine(Cys) and homocysteine(Hcy), play vital roles in biological homeostasis and are closely related to various pathological and physiological processes in the living systems. Therefore, the in vivo detection of biothiols is of great importance for early diagnosis of diseases and assessment of disease progression. In this work, we developed a near-infrared(NIR) fluorescence and photoacoustic dual-modal molecular probe(NIR-S) that can be specifically activated by Cys or Hcy. The aryl-thioether substituted cyanine probe can undergo nucleophilic substitution and Smiles rearrangement reaction, resulting in specific turn-on NIR fluorescence and ratiometric photoacoustic responses for Hcy/Cys. Thus, NIR-S not only realizes the specific NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic dual mode imaging to detect Hcy/Cys in solution, but also can be applied to living cells and mice to detect Hcy/Cys. This work provided a practical tool to detect Hcy/Cys levels in vivo, which would be beneficial for the early diagnosis and progress of diseases.     

Platinum-Based TREM2 Inhibitor Suppresses Tumors by Remodeling the Immunosuppressive Microenvironment

Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) is a key pro-tumorigenic marker of tumor-infiltrating macrophages, showing potent immunosuppressive activity in tumor microenvironment. A platinum(IV) complex OPA derived from oxaliplatin (OP) and artesunate (ART) exhibited direct cytotoxicity against human colon cancer cells and immunomodulatory activity to inhibit TREM2 on macrophages in vitro and vivo. Furthermore, OPA deterred the tumor growth in mouse models bearing MC38 colorectal tumor by reducing the number of CD206⁺ and CX₃CR1⁺ immunosuppressive macrophages; it also promoted the expansion and infiltration of immunostimulatory dendritic, cytotoxic T, and natural killer cells. OPA is the first small-molecular TREM2 inhibitor capable of relieving immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and enhancing chemical anticancer efficiency of a platinum drug, thus showing typical characteristics of a chemoimmunotherapeutic agent.
