Preparation of 103Pd seeds Part II. “Molecular Plating” of 103Pd onto copper rod

A method for ¹⁰³Pd molecular plating onto the surface of the copper rod is reported. The optimal composition of the plating bath was: palladium chloride 2 g/l, ammonium hydroxide (28%) 150 ml/l, sodium hypophosphite 12 g/l, and ammonium chloride 37 g/l. The whole procedure of ¹⁰³Pd molecular plating will last 50 minutes at 40 °C. This article provides valuable experience for the preparation of ¹⁰³Pd seeds.     

稀有气体亚稳态原子与CCl4和CBr4的能量转移反应

CBr_4和CCl_4分子的解离反应前人已做了许多工作,他们分别采用射频放电、电子轰击、He~ 的传能反应等方法研究了CCl_4和CBr_4的解离反应,得到了CCI(A)、CCl~ 、CBr~ 等碎片的发射光谱。有关亚稳态原子与它们的传能反应,只有某些较简单的报道,对传能反应机理也未作深入探讨。本文研究了各种亚稳态原子He(2~3S)、Ne(~3P_(0.2))、Ar(~3P_(0.2))与CCl_4和CBr_4分子的传能反应,并对反应机理进行了初步的讨论和分析。

用于气/固吸附的微分吸附热测定装置

本文介绍了一套吸附热测定装置, 它是对法国SETARAM高温量热计进行了适当变动后而建成的。用它可以测定在室温～800 K范围内气/固吸附的微分吸附热。在实验过程中, 吸附量是用光标微压计进行测量。用电标定法代替标准物质法来测定该装置的热定量因子, 这更适合于在恒温条件下的吸附热测定。用这套装置测定了吡啶在HY分子筛上于不同温度下的吸附热。     

Treatment of coke plant wastewater by A/O fixed biofilm system

Splenectomy improves liver fibrosis via tumor necrosis factor superfamily 14 (LIGHT) through the JNK/TGF-β1 signaling pathway

Splenectomy has been reported to improve liver fibrosis in patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Tumor necrosis factor superfamily 14 (TNFSF14; also known as LIGHT) is highly expressed in the context of fibrosis and promotes disease progression in patients with fibrotic diseases such as pulmonary and skin fibrosis. Here, we determined whether splenectomy controls the production of LIGHT to improve liver fibrosis. Splenectomy reduced serum LIGHT levels in cirrhotic patients with hypersplenism and a ConA-induced liver fibrosis mouse model. Blocking LIGHT resulted in the downregulation of TGF-β1 in RAW264.7 cells. LIGHT treatment of RAW264.7 and JS1 cells in coculture regulated transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression through the activation of JNK signaling. Small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR) in macrophages resulted in pronounced decreases in the levels of fibrosis and αSMA in JS1 cells. These results indicated that LIGHT bound to LTβR and drove liver fibrosis in vitro. Blocking TGF-β1 abolished the effect of LIGHT in vitro. Furthermore, the administration of recombinant murine LIGHT protein-induced liver fibrosis with splenectomy, while blocking LIGHT without splenectomy improved liver fibrosis in vivo, revealing that the decrease in fibrosis following splenectomy was directly related to reduced levels of LIGHT. Thus, high levels of LIGHT derived from the spleen and hepatic macrophages activate JNK signaling and lead to increased TGF-β1 production in hepatic macrophages. Splenectomy attenuates liver fibrosis by decreasing the expression of LIGHT.Subject terms: Tumour-necrosis factors, Liver fibrosis, Hepatic stellate cells, Liver cirrhosis, Experimental models of disease

Nation-Teflon bimembrane-supported palladium catalysts for Suzuki coupling reactions

Nation-Teflon bimembrane was used as an efficient support for the preparation and application of heterogeneous palladium catalysts.The supported palladium catalysts exhibit high activity and stability in the Suzuki cross-coupling of aryl bromides with arylboronic acids to afford the corresponding biaryls in good to excellent yields,and can be readily recovered and reused several times without significant loss of activity.     

Terephthalamide derivatives as mimetics of helical peptides: disruption of the Bcl-x(L)/Bak interaction

A series of Bcl-x(L)/Bak antagonists, based on a terephthalamide scaffold, was designed to mimic the alpha-helical region of the Bak peptide. These molecules showed favorable in vitro activities in disrupting the Bcl-x(L)/Bak BH3 domain complex (terephthalamides 9 and 26, K(i) = 0.78 +/- 0.07 and 1.85 +/- 0.32 microM, respectively). Extensive structure-affinity studies demonstrated a correlation between the ability of terephthalamide derivatives to disrupt Bcl-x(L)/Bak complex formation and the size of variable side chains on these molecules. Treatment of human HEK293 cells with the terephthalamide derivative 26 resulted in disruption of the Bcl-x(L)/Bax interaction in whole cells with an IC(50) of 35.0 microM. Computational docking simulations and NMR experiments suggested that the binding cleft for the BH3 domain of the Bak peptide on the surface of Bcl-x(L) is the target area for these synthetic inhibitors.     

反应条件对Mo2C/Al2O3催化的POM制合成气的影响

考察了反应温度、气体空速和进料中CH4：O2比值对Mo2C／Al2O3催化的POM反应制合成气的影响．结果发现较高的温度具有较高的甲烷转化率、CO和H2的选择性；而在较低的温度下，对CO的选择性比对H2的影响更大．反应气体的空速较小时对于甲烷的转化率、CO和H2的选择性是有利的；而在较高的气体空速下，氢气的选择性则更低．进料中CH4：O2比值稍高于2：1时有利于获得高的甲烷转化率、CO和H2的选择性．并且还可以增加催化剂的稳定性．当CH4：O2比值低于2：1时．甲烷转化率、CO和H2选择性随反应的进行急剧下降．而当此比值调整到高于2：1时．转化率和选择件都可以得到恢复。
