The kinetics of ozonation reactions of trichloroethylene (TCE) and benzene in gas and liquid phases at101.3kPa and 298K was investigated in this paper.The ozonation of TCE is first order with respect to the ozone con-centration and one and half order to TCE in the gas phase with the average rate constant 57.30(mol.L~(-1)~(-1.5).s~(-1),and the TCE ozonation in aqueous medium is first order with respect to both ozone and trichloroethylene with theaverape rate constant 6.30(mol.L~(-l).s~(-1).The ozonation of benzene in the gas phase is first order in ozone butindependent of the benzene concentration with the average reaction rate constant 0.0011s~(-1).The overall kineticsof reaction between ozone and benzene in aqueous solution is found to be first order with one-half order in bothozone and bezene,with the average reaction rate constant 2.67s~(-1).It is found that the ozonation rate of pallutantsis much quicker than that of self-decomposition of ozone in both gas and aqueous phase.     

借助变阱宽方阱链流体状态方程模拟非电解质体系表面张力和粘度(英文)

The equation of state(EOS)for square-well chain fluid with variable range(SWCF-VR) developed in our previous work based on statistical mechanical theory for chemical association is employed for the correlations of surface tension and viscosity of common fluids and ionic liquids(ILs).A model of surface tension for multi-component mixtures is presented by combining the SWCF-VR EOS and the scaled particle theory and used to produce the surface tension of binary and ternary mixtures.The predicted surface tensions are in excellent agreement with the experimental data with an overall average absolute relative deviation(AAD)of 0.36%.A method for the calculation of dynamic viscosity of common fluids and ILs at high pressure is presented by combining Eyring’s rate theory of viscosity and the SWCF-VR EOS.The calculated viscosities are in good agreement with the experimental data with the overall AAD of 1.44% for 14 fluids in 84 cases.The salient feature is that the molecular parameters used in these models are self-consistent and can be applied to calculate different thermodynamic properties such as pVT,vapor-liquid equilibrium,caloric properties,surface tension,and viscosity.     

聚乙烯-碳纳米管串晶的高效制备(英文)

We report a novel method to prepare nanohybrid shish-kebab (NHSK) structure of polyethylene (PE) and carbon nanotube (CNT). Pristine CNTs without surface modification with high concentration was effectively dispersed in xylene solution by a simple shearing method, which induces the quick crystallization of PE in xylene to form a novel NHSK structure with more dense and smaller PE kebab on CNT axis. The flocculated NHSK product was transferred quickly from the xylene solution to the ethanol solution, in order to shorten the preparation time. The freeze-drying method was used in vacuum instead of high-temperature drying to avoid the aggregation of NHSK product. These improvements allow the formation of NHSK with an absolute yield of 200 mg·h-1 , which is 2000 folds of that reported previously. It is favorable to apply this structured material in high performance nanocomposite, by improving the compatibility of CNTs in polymer and the interfacial force between CNTs and polymer.     

Determination of free and conjugated triclosan in blood by electron capture gas liquid chromatography

Unconjugated triclosan in blood can be determined by extraction with hexane, followed by its conversion to an acetyl derivative and analysis by electron capture gas liquid chromatography. The conjugated triclosan can be analyzed by an identical procedure, after the complexes have been hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid. The method was validated by recovery studies using spiking and radioactive techniques and can be used for the determination of triclosan in blood in the concentration range of 1 ppb (ng/ml) to 100 ppm (μg/ml). The precision and accuracy of the method are discussed, and examples of its application are presented. Triclosan is the generic name of 2′,4,4′-trichloro-2-hydroxy-diphenyl ether, and is produced by CIBA-GEIGY Corporation under the tradename IRGASAN DP-300. Presented at the AOCS Spring Meeting, Mexico City, April 1974.     

Performance enhancement of water bath heater at natural gas city gate station using twisted tubes

Natural gas is transported from producing regions to consumption regions by using transmission pipelines at high pressures. At consumption regions, the pressure of natural gas is reduced in city gate stations(CGSs). Before the pressure reduction process, the temperature of natural gas is increased usually by using a water bath heater,which burns natural gas as fuel, to protect against freezing of natural gas. These types of heat exchangers have a low efficiency and consume a lot of fuel to generate the required heat. In the current study, the twisted configuration of the heating coil is proposed and investigated to enhance the heat transfer through a water bath heater with a nominal capacity of 1000 m~3·h~(-1). Firstly, the implementation procedure is validated with data collected from the CGS of Qaleh-Jiq(located in Golestan province of Iran). A very good agreement is achieved between the obtained results and the real data. Then, three different twist ratios are considered to examine the twisting effects. The proposed technique is evaluated in the terms of velocity, temperature, and pressure variations, and the results are compared with the conventional case, i.e. straight configuration. It is found that both the heat transfer rate and the pressure drop augment as the twist ratio is raised. Finally, it is concluded that the twisted tubes can reduce the length of the gas coil by about 12.5% for the model with low twist ratio, 18.75% for the model with medium twist ratio, and 25% for the model with high twist ratio as compared to the straight configuration.     

黏性液体中单个上升气泡的流体动力学行为(英文)

The rising behavior of single bubbles has been investigated in six systems with different viscosity and Morton number(Mo) from 3.21×10-11 to 163. Bubbles with maximum equivalent diameter of up to 16 mm were investigated. The bubble Reynolds number(Re) ranged from 0.02 to 1200 covering 3 regimes in which two func-tions are obtained relating the drag coefficient,CD,with Re and Mo. It has been found that in the high Reynolds number regime the drag coefficient increases until the Reynolds number of about 1200. The classic expression of Jamialahmadi(1994) is improved and extended to high viscosity liquids. A new relationship for the aspect ratio of deformed bubbles in terms of Re,the Etvs number and Mo,applicable to a wide range of system properties,espe-cially in high viscosity liquids,is also suggested.     

Numerical investigation on flow and heat transfer characteristics of corrugated tubes with non-uniform corrugation in turbulent flow

Based on finite volume method, the pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of one smooth tube and ten different axisymmetric corrugated tubes, including two with uniform corrugation and eight with non-uniform corrugation, have been studied. A physical model of the corrugated tube was built, then the numerical simulation of the model was carried out and the numerical simulation results were compared with the empirical formula.The results show that: the friction factor decreases with the increase of Reynolds number ranging from 6000 to 57000, the value of which in the corrugated tubes with non-uniform corrugation(tube 03–10) are smaller than those with uniform corrugation(tube 01–02). The geometry parameters of tube(01) have advantages on the heat transfer enhancement in low Reynolds number flow region(from 6000 to 13000) and tube(07–08)have advantages on the heat transfer enhancement in high Reynolds number flow region(from 13000 to 57000). The vortex, existed in each area between two adjacent corrugations called second flow region, is the root of the enhancement on heat transfer in the corrugated tubes. The effectiveness factor decreases with the increasing of Reynolds number and the performances of the corrugated tubes with pitch of 12.5 mm have advantages than these of 10 mm under the same corrugation geometric parameter.

利用肺炎克雷伯氏菌以葡萄糖和磷酸铵盐为底物生产2,3-丁二醇

1 INTRODUCTION Interest in microbial production of 2,3-butanediol has been increasing recently due to the extensive indus-trial application of this product. This colorless and odorless liquid with a high boiling point and a low freezing point is a potential valuable fuel additive. Its heating value is 27.198kJ·g-1, which is quite near the value of ethanol (29.055kJ·g-1). Besides, condensation of diol to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) coupled with subsequent hydrogenation yields octane isom…     

传统填料和高通量规正填料的气体分布特性的比较

This paper presents the results of an experimental study carried out using large scale equipment to observe the effect of geometry on gas distribution properties of a high capacity corrugated sheet structured packing (Montz-pak B1-250M) and to compare it with that of its conventional counterpart (Montz-pak B1-250). Although the high capacity packing exhibits a significantly lower overall pressure drop, the gas distribution performance is similar to that of the conventional packing, and in both cases consistently good one.     

The promotion of CO electro-oxidation on platinum-bismuth as a model for surface mediated oxygen transfer

The results of electrochemical studies of CO oxidation on clean and bismuth modified Pt(1 1 0)-(1×2) and Pt(1 1 1) surfaces and a supported platinum catalyst are compared. The effect of sub-monolayers of bismuth is to increase the CO oxidation potential on Pt(1 1 0)-(1×2), and decrease it on Pt(1 1 1). This primarily reflects the rather low potential for CO oxidation characteristic of the more open packed Pt(1 1 0)-(1×2) surface, and the higher potential characteristic of the close packed Pt(1 1 1) face. The oxidation potential of CO in the intermixed CO/Bi phases on the single crystals is very similar. The effect of bismuth on the supported platinum catalyst is to increase the CO oxidation potential by a similar amount to that found for Pt(1 1 0)-(1×2). In addition, modification by bismuth results in a concomitant reduction in the CO tolerance of the commercial catalyst. CO oxidation on the catalyst exhibits poisoning by bismuth in a similar fashion to Pt(1 1 0)-(1×2), and the bismuth redox couple on the catalyst is the same as that found on Pt(1 1 0)-(1×2). High coverages of bismuth on the catalyst do not appear to reduce its activity for hydrogen oxidation. These results are discussed in the context of the requirement for surface mediated oxygen transfer during CO electro-oxidation.     

Surface energies in high-entropy carbides with variable carbon stoichiometry

The carbon vacancy in high-entropy carbides (HECs) has a significant impact on their physical and chemical properties, yet relevant studies have still been relatively few. In this study, we investigate the surface energies of HECs with variable carbon vacancies through first-principles calculations. The results show that the surface energy of the (1 0 0) surface of the stoichiometric HECs is significantly lower than that of (1 1 1) surface. With the decrease in carbon stoichiometry, the surface energies of both (1 0 0) and (1 1 1) surfaces increase gradually, which is mainly due to the weakening of covalent bonding and the decrease of metal Hirshfeld-I (HI) charges. However, the surface energy of (1 0 0) surface increases more quickly than that of (1 1 1) surface and will exceed that of (1 1 1) surface when the carbon stoichiometry decreases to a certain extent, which is primarily attributed to the greater decrease rate of metal HI charges of (1 0 0) surface.     

Morphology prediction of dihydroxylammonium 5,5'-bistetrazole-1,1'-diolate (TKX-50) crystal in different solvent systems using modified attachment energy model

In order to theoretically study the growth morphology of dihydroxylammonium 5,5'-bistetrazole-1,1'-diolate (TKX-50) crystal in different solvent systems, crystal–solvent models were established, and then molecular dynamics (MD) methods were adopted as a means to simulate particle motion. Modified attachment energy (MAE) model was employed to calculate the growth morphology of TKX-50. The simulation results demonstrate that COMPASS force field and RESP charge are suitable for molecular dynamics simulation of TKX-50. The morphologically dominant growth surfaces of TKX-50 in vacuum are (0 2 0), (0 1 1), (1 1 –1), (1 0 0) and (1 2 0), respectively. In water (H₂O) and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvents, the (1 1 –1) face is the largest in the habit face, the growth rate of (0 2 0) face becomes faster. With the increase of temperature, the aspect ratios of TKX-50 crystal in DMF solvent increase, and the areas of the (1 2 0) faces decrease. In ethylene glycol /H₂O mixed solvent system with volume ratio of 1/1, aspect ratio of TKX-50 is relatively small. In formic acid /H₂O mixed solvents with different volume ratios (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1/1 and 2/1), aspect ratio of TKX-50 is relatively small when volume ratio is 1/2.     

血管紧张素(-1-7)对血管紧张素Ⅱ在大鼠心脏成纤维细胞中信号转导的影响及其机制

目的探讨血管紧张素(-1-7)[Angiotensin(-1-7),Ang(-1-7)]对血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngiotensinⅡ,AngⅡ)在大鼠心脏成纤维细胞(Cardiac fibroblasts,CFs)中信号转导的影响及其机制。方法原代分离培养并鉴定新生SD大鼠的CFs,将细胞分为8组:空白对照组、AngⅡ组、Ang(-1-7)组、AngⅡ+Ang(-1-7)组、AngⅡ+Ang(-1-7)+A-779组、AngⅡ+Ang(-1-7)+PAO组、Ang(-1-7)+PAO组和AngⅡ+PAO组,Western blot法检测细胞外信号调节激酶1/2(Extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2,ERK1/2)和磷酸化的ERK1/2(p-ERK1/2)的表达;免疫沉淀捕捉分析法检测蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶-1(Src-homology domain 2 containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-1,SHP-1)的酶活性;实时荧光定量PCR检测转化生长因子-β1(Transforming growth factor-β1,TGF-β1)、I型胶原蛋白(CollagenⅠ,ColⅠ)和Ⅲ型胶原蛋白(CollagenⅢ,ColⅢ)基因mRNA的转录水平。结果 AngⅡ可增加细胞内p-ERK1/2的表达水平和p-ERK/ERK值(磷酸化的p-ERK1/2与总的ERK1/2的比值),Ang(-1-7)通过与Mas受体结合可拮抗AngⅡ引起的上述效应;Ang(-1-7)通过与Mas受体结合而激活胞内SHP-1的活性,并可拮抗AngⅡ所致的SHP-1活性降低;抑制SHP-1的活性后,Ang(-1-7)拮抗AngⅡ诱导的p-ERK1/2表达水平和p-ERK/ERK值增高的效应被抑制。Ang(-1-7)对TGF-β1、ColⅠ和ColⅢ基因mRNA的转录水平无显著影响,但可抑制AngⅡ所诱导的上述基因mRNA转录水平的增加。结论 Ang(-1-7)通过与Mas受体结合而激活SHP-1,该效应与Ang(-1-7)拮抗AngⅡ诱导的p-ERK1/2的表达水平和p-ERK/ERK值增高密切相关;Ang(-1-7)可抑制AngⅡ所诱导的TGF-β1、ColⅠ和ColⅢ基因表达上调,这些现象可能体现了一种Ang(-1-7)拮抗AngⅡ所致的不良效应的保护性机制。     

Aerobic Interval Training Attenuates Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Rats Post-Myocardial Infarction: Roles of Mitochondrial Network Dynamics

Aerobic interval training (AIT) can favorably affect cardiovascular diseases. However, the effects of AIT on post-myocardial infarction (MI)—associated mitochondrial dysfunctions remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of AIT on myocardial mitochondria in post-MI rats by focusing on mitochondrial dynamics (fusion and fission). Mitochondrial respiratory functions (as measured by the respiratory control ratio (RCR) and the ratio of ADP to oxygen consumption (P/O)); complex activities; dynamic proteins (mitofusin (mfn) 1/2, type 1 optic atrophy (OPA1) and dynamin-related protein1 (DRP1)); nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α); and the oxidative signaling of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, c-Jun NH₂-terminal protein kinase (JNK) and P53 were observed. Post-MI rats exhibited mitochondrial dysfunction and adverse mitochondrial network dynamics (reduced fusion and increased fission), which was associated with activated ERK1/2-JNK-P53 signaling and decreased nuclear PGC-1α. After AIT, MI-associated mitochondrial dysfunction was improved (elevated RCR and P/O and enhanced complex I, III and IV activities); in addition, increased fusion (mfn2 and OPA1), decreased fission (DRP1), elevated nuclear PGC-1α and inactivation of the ERK1/2-JNK-P53 signaling were observed. These data demonstrate that AIT may restore the post-MI mitochondrial function by inhibiting dynamics pathological remodeling, which may be associated with inactivation of ERK1/2-JNK-P53 signaling and increase in nuclear PGC-1α expression.     

Design, syntheses, biological evaluation, and docking studies of 2-substituted 5-methylsulfonyl-1-phenyl-1H-indoles: potent and selective in vitro cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors

Four series of 5-methylsulfonyl-1-phenyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid alkyl esters (family A), -2-carbonitriles (family B), -2-carboxamides (family C), and 2-benzoyl-5-methylsulfonyl-1-phenyl-1H-indoles (family D) were prepared and evaluated for their ability to inhibit purified cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1). Family D compounds have the best COX-1/COX-2 inhibition ratios and potencies. According to docking studies, these molecules appear to bind the COX-2 binding site differently than indomethacin, with the insertion of the substituent at the 2-position in the hydrophobic pocket of the enzyme and the 1-position phenyl ring in the trifluoromethyl zone. Among the group of compounds evaluated, 2-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-methylsulfonyl-1H-indole and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-methylsulfonyl-1-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1H-indole emerged as the most potent (respective IC(50) values: 46 and 43 nM), and selective (respective selectivity indexes: >2163 and >2331) COX-2 inhibitors.     

Single domain epitaxial growth of yttria-stabilized zirconia on Si(1 1 1) substrate

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) was epitaxially grown on both Si(0 0 1) and Si(1 1 1) substrates using a RF magnetron sputtering method. While YSZ(0 0 1) was grown on Si(0 0 1) with a cubic on cubic relation, YSZ(1 1 1) film on Si(1 1 1) with six-fold symmetry on surface showed two variants; cubic on cubic (type A) and 180° rotation about surface normal along [1 1 1] (type B). X-ray diffraction method confirmed single domain YSZ with type B structure when samples were prepared with the relatively slow deposition rate and low substrate temperature. Interestingly, in a reverse pairing of substrate and film, Si deposited on YSZ(1 1 1) substrates showed single domain with type A structure.     

Oxidative Stress-Induced Sirtuin1 Downregulation Correlates to HIF-1α, GLUT-1, and VEGF-A Upregulation in Th1 Autoimmune Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

In Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), oxidative stress (OS) is driven by Th1 cytokines’ response interfering with the normal function of thyrocytes. OS results from an imbalance between an excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a lowering of antioxidant production. Moreover, OS has been shown to inhibit Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), which is able to prevent hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α stabilization. The aims of this study were to determine the involvement of NADPH-oxidases (NOX), SIRT1, and HIF-1α in HT pathophysiology as well as the status of antioxidant proteins such as peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1), catalase, and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1). The protein expressions of NOX2, NOX4, antioxidant enzymes, SIRT1, and HIF-1α, as well as glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), were analyzed by Western blot in primary cultures of human thyrocytes that were or were not incubated with Th1 cytokines. The same proteins were also analyzed by immunohistochemistry in thyroid samples from control and HT patients. In human thyrocytes incubated with Th1 cytokines, NOX4 expression was increased whereas antioxidants, such as PRDX1, catalase, and SOD1, were reduced. Th1 cytokines also induced a significant decrease of SIRT1 protein expression associated with an upregulation of HIF-1α, GLUT-1, and VEGF-A proteins. With the exception of PRDX1 and SOD1, similar results were obtained in HT thyroids. OS due to an increase of ROS produced by NOX4 and a loss of antioxidant defenses (PRDX1, catalase, SOD1) correlates to a reduction of SIRT1 and an upregulation of HIF 1α, GLUT-1, and VEGF-A. Our study placed SIRT1 as a key regulator of OS and we, therefore, believe it could be considered as a potential therapeutic target in HT.     

Sila-haloperidol, a silicon analogue of the dopamine (D2) receptor antagonist haloperidol: synthesis, pharmacological properties, and metabolic fate

Haloperidol (1 a), a dopamine (D(2)) receptor antagonist, is in clinical use as an antipsychotic agent. Carbon/silicon exchange (sila-substitution) at the 4-position of the piperidine ring of 1 a (R(3)COH --> R(3)SiOH) leads to sila-haloperidol (1 b). Sila-haloperidol was synthesized in a new multistep synthesis, starting from tetramethoxysilane and taking advantage of the properties of the 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl unit as a unique protecting group for silicon. The pharmacological profiles of the C/Si analogues 1 a and 1 b were studied in competitive receptor binding assays at D(1)-D(5), sigma(1), and sigma(2) receptors. Sila-haloperidol (1 b) exhibits significantly different receptor subtype selectivities from haloperidol (1 a) at both receptor families. The C/Si analogues 1 a and 1 b were also studied for 1) their physicochemical properties (log D, pK(a), solubility in HBSS buffer (pH 7.4)), 2) their permeability in a human Caco-2 model, 3) their pharmacokinetic profiles in human and rat liver microsomes, and 4) their inhibition of the five major cytochrome P450 isoforms. In addition, the major in vitro metabolites of sila-haloperidol (1 b) in human liver microsomes were identified using mass-spectrometric techniques. Due to the special chemical properties of silicon, the metabolic fates of the C/Si analogues 1 a and 1 b are totally different.
