Heat capacity and thermodynamic properties of 1-hexadecanol

Three different nitrocellulose (NC) samples produced from linters were investigated. DSC studies on the NC+sym-diethyldiphenylurea (C1) mixtures were carried out. The influence of storage time on their pore structures was examined using thermoporometry. The results led to conclusion that large pores are multiples of small ones. The parameter n was used to characterize the number of C1 molecules equivalent to NC ring. Its value for short storage time was about 9 but for longer time reached the value of 3. The influence of thermal history on the phase transition and porosity of the different nitrocellulose samples was different.

A DNA crystal designed to contain two molecules per asymmetric unit

We describe the self-assembly of a DNA crystal that contains two tensegrity triangle molecules per asymmetric unit. We have used X-ray crystallography to determine its crystal structure. In addition, we have demonstrated control over the colors of the crystals by attaching either Cy3 dye (pink) or Cy5 dye (blue-green) to the components of the crystal, yielding crystals of corresponding colors. Attaching the pair of dyes to the pair of molecules yields a purple crystal.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Fluorescent Study of Bis(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazolate)zinc with Ethanol Solvate

Abstract  The zinc(II) complex with 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole, namely [Zn(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazolate)₂]·C₂H₅OH (1 · C₂H₅OH) has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography and photoluminescent analysis. The complex crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2₁/c with cell parameters a = 10.156(1) ?, b = 25.771(3) ?, c = 9.674(1) ?, α = 90°, β = 103.641(2)°, γ = 90°, Z = 4, V = 2460.4(4) ?³. The central Zn(II) is four-coordinate and has a tetrahedral geometry. The steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescent spectra for the title compound have also been studied. The emission property can be ascribed to ligand-centered charge-transfer transition (LCCT) with π → π* property.

激光烧蚀下不同颗粒度Al-teflon的反应行为

为研究不同颗粒度对Al-teflon反应行为的影响,以颗粒度25μm、1μm和20～200 nm的Al粉和微米级Teflon粉混合制备的反应材料为研究对象,基于脉冲激光烧蚀实验,结合ICCD相机和光谱仪对反应过程中的自发光成像和发射光谱进行瞬态观测。研究结果表明,Al-teflon反应材料在激光烧蚀下的反应行为体现出典型的二次反应特征,具有持续燃烧特征和明显的后燃效应,也具有较长的能量释放时间;同时,其反应行为与Al粉颗粒度密切相关:初始阶段,反应随Al粉颗粒度的降低加剧,随着反应的进行,纳米级Al粉对应的反应材料后续反应能力逐渐下降,反应强度和反应时间都小于1μm铝粉对应的反应材料。     

Cytosolic escape of mitochondrial DNA triggers cGAS-STING-NLRP3 axis-dependent nucleus pulposus cell pyroptosis

Low back pain (LBP) is a major musculoskeletal disorder and the socioeconomic problem with a high prevalence that mainly involves intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration, characterized by progressive nucleus pulposus (NP) cell death and the development of an inflammatory microenvironment in NP tissue. Excessively accumulated cytosolic DNA acts as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that is monitored by the cGAS-STING axis to trigger the immune response in many degenerative diseases. NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis is a type of inflammatory programmed death that promotes a chronic inflammatory response and tissue degeneration. However, the relationship between the cGAS-STING axis and NLRP3 inflammasome-induced pyroptosis in the pathogenesis of IVD degeneration remains unclear. Here, we used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathology to demonstrate that cGAS, STING, and NLRP3 are associated with the degree of IVD degeneration. Oxidative stress induced cGAS-STING axis activation and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis in a STING-dependent manner in human NP cells. Interestingly, the canonical morphological and functional characteristics of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening with the cytosolic escape of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were observed in human NP cells under oxidative stress. Furthermore, the administration of a specific pharmacological inhibitor of mPTP and self-mtDNA cytosolic leakage effectively reduced NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptotic NP cell death and microenvironmental inflammation in vitro and degenerative progression in a rat disc needle puncture model. Collectively, these data highlight the critical roles of the cGAS-STING-NLRP3 axis and pyroptosis in the progression of IVD degeneration and provide promising therapeutic approaches for discogenic LBP.Subject terms: Cell death, Diseases
