Preparation and photoelectrochemical performance of Ag/graphene/TiO2 composite film

By dipping-lifting in sol-gel solution and reducing process, the graphene/TiO₂ composite film on the glass plate was first prepared. Then, the Ag/graphene/TiO₂ composite film was fabricated by interface reaction with AgNO₃ and N₂H₄·H₂O on the surface of graphene/TiO₂ composite film. The characterization results show that the uniform porous TiO₂ film is made up of the anatase crystal, and the Ag/graphene/TiO₂ composite film is constructed by doping or depositing graphene sheets and Ag nanoparticles on the surface of TiO₂ film. The photoelectrochemical measurement results indicate that the Ag/graphene/TiO₂ composite film has an excellent photoelectrochemical conversion property.     

Preparation of poly (styrene)-b-poly (acrylic acid)/γ-Fe2O3 composites

The use of a block copolymer, poly (styrene)-b-poly (acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) to prepare a magnetic nanocomposite was investigated. Poly (styrene)-poly (t-butyl acrylate) block copolymer, being synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization, was hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid for obtaining PS-b-PAA. The obtained PS-b-PAA was then compounded with the modified γ-Fe₂O₃, and subsequently the magnetic nanocomposite was achieved. The products were characterized by ¹H NMR, FTIR, gel permeation chromatography, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results showed that the nanocomposites exhibited soft magnetism, with the mean diameter of 100 nm approximately.     

Studies of pathology and VEGF expression in rabbit cerebrospinal fluid metastasis: application of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI

Objective

The objective was to analyze the correlation of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein expression and to assess the potential application of DCE-MRI to the rabbit cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) metastasis model.

Methods

Thirty New Zealand rabbits were divided into experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, VX2 tumor cells were injected into the subarachnoid space at the plane of cisterna magna in 24 rabbits. In the control group, physiological saline was injected into the subarachnoid space at the plane of cisterna magna in six rabbits. DCE-MRI was performed at multiple time points, and several pharmacokinetic parameters, including K^trans, K_ep and V_e, were calculated. Also, VEGF levels in plasma and CSF were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay prior to DCE-MRI examination. After DCE-MRI examination, the rabbits were sacrificed, and the corresponding tumor specimens were harvested. Hematoxylin–eosin staining and VEGF immunohistochemical staining were carried out, and VEGF expression in the specimens was evaluated by the immunohistochemical scoring system.

Results

Vascular endothelial growth factor positive staining was localized in the cytoplasm and cell membranes of tumor cells, as well as in a subset of epithelial cells. Both VEGF immunohistochemical scores and VEGF expression in CSF and plasma exhibited positive correlations with K^trans and K_ep values as demonstrated by rank correlation statistical analysis.

Conclusions

Vascular endothelial growth factor expression in plasma and CSF in the CSF metastasis model was higher than in normal tissues. Therefore, DCE-MRI reliably indicated VEGF expression in the rabbit CSF metastasis model.

基于机器学习方法的丙型肝炎病毒非结构蛋白5B聚合酶抑制剂活性预测

在丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)的基因复制和蛋白质成熟的过程中, 非结构蛋白5B(NS5B)作为RNA依赖的RNA聚合酶起到了重要的作用. 抑制NS5B聚合酶可以阻止丙型肝炎病毒的RNA复制, 因此成为一种治疗丙型肝炎的有效方法. 通过计算机方法进行虚拟筛选和预测NS5B聚合酶抑制剂已经变得越来越重要. 本文主要采用机器学习方法(支持向量机(SVM)、k-最近相邻法(k-NN)和C4.5决策树(C4.5 DT))对已知的丙型肝炎病毒NS5B蛋白酶抑制剂与非抑制剂建立分类预测模型. 1248个结构多样性化合物(552个NS5B抑制剂与696个非NS5B抑制剂)被用于测试分类预测系统, 并用递归变量消除法选择与NS5B抑制剂相关的性质描述符以提高预测精度. 独立验证集的总预测精度为84.1%-85.0%, NS5B抑制剂的预测精度为81.4%-91.7%, 非NS5B抑制剂的预测精度为78.2%-87.2%. 其中支持向量机给出最好的NS5B抑制剂预测精度(91.7%); C4.5决策树给出最好的非NS5B抑制剂预测精度(87.2%); k-最近相邻法给出最好的总预测精度(85.0%). 研究表明机器学习方法可以有效预测未知数据集中潜在的NS5B抑制剂, 并有助于发现与其相关的分子描述符.     

SDBS与HA缓蚀剂复配的实验与理论研究

通过静态失重法研究了十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)与六亚甲基四胺(HA)在盐酸溶液中对Q235钢的协同缓蚀效应, 并采用分子动力学模拟从缓蚀剂膜抑制腐蚀粒子扩散的角度对其缓蚀机理进行分析. 结果显示: SDBS和HA单独使用时, 最高缓蚀效率分别为82.82%和79.46%, 复配后最高缓蚀效率可达到92.78%; 与两种缓蚀剂单独使用时相比, SDBS与HA复配后缓蚀剂膜体系中的自由空间明显下降, 削弱了膜内缓蚀剂分子的自扩散能力, 腐蚀粒子在缓蚀剂膜携带下的被动迁移也随之减弱; SDBS与HA复配能更有效抑制腐蚀粒子在缓蚀剂膜中的扩散, 也就是说复配后的缓蚀剂具有更好的缓蚀性能.

An iron(III)-containing ionic liquid: characterization,magnetic property and electrocatalysis

The present work reports on the synthesis, characterization and performance of a new iron(III)-containing ionic liquid [(C₄H₉)₂-bim][FeCl₄] (Fe-IL, bim = benzimidazolium) as an electrocatalyst for nitrite and bromate reduction. The melting point of Fe-IL is 70 °C. Thermal behavior of the Fe-IL was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermalgravimetry. The value of magnetic moment and its temperature dependence were measured. A conductive carbon paste electrode (Fe-IL/CPE) comprised of Fe-IL and carbon powder was fabricated by the direct mixing method. The Fe-IL has double functions—a binder and an electrocatalyst. The electrochemical behavior and electrocatalysis of Fe-IL/CPE have been studied by cyclic voltammetry. The Fe-IL/CPE shows excellent electrocatalytic activities toward nitrite and bromate reduction. The detection limit and the sensitivity are 0.01 μM and 100.58 μA μM⁻¹ for nitrite, and 0.01 μM and 83.11 μA μM⁻¹ for bromate detection, respectively. This work demonstrates that the Fe-IL may become a new kind of functional material in constructing chemicals and biosensors.
