Coenzyme Q10 supplementation: Efficacy,safety, and formulation challenges

World population growth and aging are posing unprecedented challenges in sustaining the health of 9.1 billion people that will be occupying the planet by 2050. Although noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and diabetes are among the top 10 global causes of death, they can be prevented by risk factor reduction, early detection, and adequate treatment. Since a healthy diet along with dietary supplementation could play an important role to reduce morbidity and cut off its associated health care costs, research in the food and nutrition area is required to find solutions to global challenges affecting health. As a result of the healthy living trend, dietary supplements category is growing fast, leading to an urgent need for dietitians, physicians, and policy makers to broaden the scientific evidence on the efficacy and safety of a wide range of active ingredients. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), as the third most consumed dietary supplement, and as a potential candidate for the treatment of various noncommunicable diseases that are among the global top 10 causes of death, has gained interest over years. Scientific evidence regarding mainly CoQ10 efficacy and safety, as well as formulation challenges, is addressed in this review.     

Ni(OH)2与不同碳质材料复合制备超级电容器电极材料研究进展

超级电容器具有功率密度大、寿命长、生产成本低等优点,被认为是最有发展前途的储能系统之一。然而,超级电容器的低能量密度阻碍了其实际应用。由于存储的能量与CV2成正比,可以通过增加材料的电容"C"或操作电压窗口"V"或两者同时增加来提高超级电容器的能量密度。然而具有宽电位窗口的有机电解质离子往往电导率差,成本高,容易引起环境问题。因此为改善能量密度,应采用高比电容的电极材料,故而设计出具有高比电容的适合电极材料就成为研究热点。Ni(OH)2作为超级电容器电极材料,具有理论容量大、成本低、天然丰富、易于合成等优点,近年来备受关注。但由于Ni(OH)2导电率低、比表面积小,其容量劣化严重。碳质材料作为双电层超级电容器的电极材料,其能量存储机制取决于电极表面的电解质离子吸附和解离,具有导电率好、原料丰富、成本较低、电化学稳定性高等优点而应用广泛。因此,有必要将高导电碳质材料引入Ni(OH)2组成复合材料以提高电容性能。笔者综述了Ni(OH)2基材料的合成方法,特别是与碳质材料复合来提高Ni(OH)2基材料的循环稳定性和倍率性能方面的研究新进展。     

退火温度对冷轧DP980钢力学性能的影响

利用连续退火模拟机对DP980试验钢进行了连续退火试验,并通过扫描电镜、电子背散射衍射、透射电镜等研究了不同退火温度下(775、800、825和850 ℃),试验钢显微组织的演变规律和力学性能的变化趋势。结果表明:试验钢的屈服强度随着退火温度的升高而不断增大(从705 MPa增大到850 MPa),抗拉强度和断后伸长率则随着退火温度的升高而不断减小(抗拉强度从1150 MPa减小到1030 MPa;伸长率从8.9%减小到5.3%),这与试验钢的显微组织构成和形态分布密切相关。此外,不同退火温度下,试验钢的加工硬化率曲线均呈现单调下降的趋势。

咖啡渣活性炭的制备、表征及其对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附机制研究

以碘吸附值为评价指标，活化时间、活化温度和浸渍比为影响因素，采用响应面法试验设计对磷酸活化法制备咖啡渣活性炭的工艺条件进行优化，并通过静态吸附试验研究了不同吸附时间、溶液pH值和吸附温度条件下，活性炭对水溶液中Cr（Ⅵ）吸附性能的影响，最后利用Langmuir、Freundlich吸附等温方程、准一级动力学方程、准二级动力学方程和颗粒内部扩散方程进行拟合。试验结果表明，制备咖啡渣活性炭的最佳工艺条件为活化时间1 h、活化温度498℃、浸渍比1.72；在此条件下活性炭得率为30.4%，碘吸附值为（799±16）mg/g，比表面积为1 006 m²/g，孔容为0.779 cm³/g、微孔孔容为0.051 cm³/g、平均孔径为3.088 nm。较低pH值和较高温度能够促进活性炭对Cr（Ⅵ）的吸附；Langmuir等温方程能够更好地描述活性炭对Cr（Ⅵ）的吸附效果；活性炭对Cr（Ⅵ）的吸附分3个阶段：快速吸附阶段、慢速吸附阶段和吸附平衡阶段，10 min内可完成吸附总量的79%，360 min内达到吸附平衡，该吸附过程符合准二级吸附动力学方程。分析表明咖啡渣活性炭对Cr（Ⅵ）的吸附主要为单分子层的化学吸附。

Investigation of the hydrogen induced cracking behaviour of API 5L X65 pipeline steel

The effect of microstructural features on the hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) susceptibility of two API 5L X65 pipeline steels were investigated by cathodic charging, hydrogen permeation and hydrogen microprint experiments. Microstructural evaluation after hydrogen charging revealed cracks at the mid-thickness (segregation zone) of both plates. However, more severe cracks were observed in the plate with higher dislocation density and residual stresses. The plate with lower plastic strain and more {111}-oriented grains had less severe cracks. Inclusions found along the crack path, comprising of Si-enriched oxides and carbides contributed to the initiation and propagation of cracks. The variation of the trapping behaviour and hydrogen diffusion through the plates were examined. The results confirmed that a higher ratio of reversible to irreversible traps contributes to increasing HIC severity in steels. Additionally, hydrogen transport through the steels was most prominent along the grain boundaries, indicating the importance of grain boundary character to HIC.     

淬火温度对G105钢组织和性能的影响

利用硬度计、拉伸试验机、冲击试验机和光学显微镜等手段,研究了G105钢分别在890、910和930 ℃保温150 min淬火,随后进行630 ℃保温180 min回火处理后组织和性能变化。结果表明:随着淬火温度的升高,G105钢淬火硬度越来越高;经回火处理后,淬火温度为890 ℃和910 ℃时,调质硬度无太大差异,分别为33.2 HRC和32.7 HRC,淬火温度为930 ℃的调质硬度相对提高约1.5 HRC。试验钢强度随着淬火温度的升高也呈现升高趋势,但冲击韧性呈先升高后下降的趋势,这主要是由于调质后存在粒状碳化物的析出现象,导致其冲击韧性显著下降,故认为当淬火温度选取910 ℃时,获得的G105钢综合力学性能较佳。     

55SiCr弹簧钢中的残留奥氏体与碳化物

通过扫描电镜(SEM)、电子背散射衍射(EBSD)、透射电镜(TEM)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)、热膨胀仪、洛氏硬度计等手段研究了弹簧钢55SiCr的组织和相变点以及残留奥氏体和碳化物在热处理过程中的组织演变。结果表明:55SiCr弹簧钢淬火后残留奥氏体以块状分布在基体上;随回火温度的升高,残留奥氏体减少并呈粒状和薄膜状分布;C在残留奥氏体中富集,使其稳定性增强;Si抑制了碳化物的析出,提高了残留奥氏体的稳定性。低温回火时,Si延缓了渗碳体析出;高温回火时,C原子扩散速率提高,促进渗碳体析出,引起体积的收缩。慢速加热回火时,C有足够的时间扩散,从而促进渗碳体的形成,使渗碳体的形成温度提前;快速加热回火时,C来不及扩散,抑制了渗碳体的析出。回火加热速率一样时,试验钢的硬度随回火温度的提高而下降。当回火温度为400 ℃时,硬度值最大为51 HRC;当回火温度为650 ℃时,硬度值最小为37 HRC。当加热速率为0.1 ℃/s时,硬度值最小为33 HRC;当加热速率为200 ℃/s时,硬度值最大为40 HRC。
