Silver Nanowires as Templates for Preparation of Amorphous Carbon Nanotubes

In this report, we describe a novel method for preparing amorphous carbon nanotubes (ACNT) from silver nanowires using a carbon replica technique. ACNT size and shape are determined by the template silver nanowire. Interspaces between carbon grains present in the ACNT wall cause the wall to act as a permeable membrane through which reactants pass freely. Simple chemical modifications can be used to modify the diameter of the silver filaments within. We anticipate that this method will prove useful in preparing a wide variety of nanometer-sized filaments, perhaps with the replica itself able to serve as a template in casting nanomaterials of assorted shapes.

磷钼钒杂多酸在苯直接羟化反应中的催化作用——O2活化机理的探讨

磷钼钒杂多酸在有供电子体存在下具有活化氧和使苯直接羟化的催化性能。以抗坏血酸和亚硫酸钠为还原剂的实验表明不同的还原体系吸氧动力学和羟化活性不同。根据氧化还原滴定、循环伏安法、电解还原羟化反应以及光谱实验等测定结果, 对这两个不同体系提出了各自可能的氧的活化机理。认为在以抗坏血酸为还原剂的情况下, 杂多酸阴离子通过三电子传递过程直接络合氧, 氧与阴离子形成中间络合物为控制步骤。在以亚硫酸钠为还原剂的情况下, 供电子体可能先与阴离子络合活化, 直接参与氧的活化过程, 供电子体与阴离子的还原络合为控制步骤。

Dexmedetomidine promotes the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma through hepatic stellate cell activation

Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is an anesthetic that is widely used in the clinic, and it has been reported to exhibit paradoxical effects in the progression of multiple solid tumors. In this study, we sought to explore the mechanism by which DEX regulates hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression underlying liver fibrosis. We determined the effects of DEX on tumor progression in an orthotopic HCC mouse model of fibrotic liver. A coculture system and a subcutaneous xenograft model involving coimplantation of mouse hepatoma cells (H22) and primary activated hepatic stellate cells (aHSCs) were used to study the effects of DEX on HCC progression. We found that in the preclinical mouse model of liver fibrosis, DEX treatment significantly shortened median survival time and promoted tumor growth, intrahepatic metastasis and pulmonary metastasis. The DEX receptor (ADRA2A) was mainly expressed in aHSCs but was barely detected in HCC cells. DEX dramatically reinforced HCC malignant behaviors in the presence of aHSCs in both the coculture system and the coimplantation mouse model, but DEX alone exerted no significant effects on the malignancy of HCC. Mechanistically, DEX induced IL-6 secretion from aHSCs and promoted HCC progression via STAT3 activation. Our findings provide evidence that the clinical application of DEX may cause undesirable side effects in HCC patients with liver fibrosis.Subject terms: Cancer microenvironment, Cell growth
