Crosstalk between MicroRNA and Oxidative Stress in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), a chronic neurodegenerative disease that damages the trabecular meshwork (TM) cells, inducing apoptosis of the retinal ganglion cells (RGC), deteriorating the optic nerve head, and leading to blindness. Aqueous humor (AH) outflow resistance and intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation contribute to disease progression. Nevertheless, despite the existence of pharmacological and surgical treatments, there is room for the development of additional treatment approaches. The following review is aimed at investigating the role of different microRNAs (miRNAs) in the expression of genes and proteins involved in the regulation of inflammatory and degenerative processes, focusing on the delicate balance of synthesis and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) regulated by chronic oxidative stress in POAG related tissues. The neutralizing activity of a couple of miRNAs was described, suggesting effective downregulation of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic signaling pathways, including nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB), transforming growth factor-beta 2 (TGF-β2), Wnt/β-Catenin, and PI3K/AKT. In addition, with regards to the elevated IOP in many POAG patients due to increased outflow resistance, Collagen type I degradation was stimulated by some miRNAs and prevented ECM deposition in TM cells. Mitochondrial dysfunction as a consequence of oxidative stress was suppressed following exposure to different miRNAs. In contrast, increased oxidative damage by inhibiting the mTOR signaling pathway was described as part of the action of selected miRNAs. Summarizing, specific miRNAs may be promising therapeutic targets for lowering or preventing oxidative stress injury in POAG patients.     

两种发酵方式柑橘果醋品质特性的比较

以柑橘为原料，在单因素试验的基础上通过正交试验对柑橘果醋一次发酵法发酵条件进行优化，并对一次发酵法与二次发酵法制备的柑橘果醋的品质特性进行比较。结果表明，柑橘果醋一次发酵法最优发酵条件为酒精度6.0%vol、柑橘果汁含量为50%、发酵温度34 ℃，在此优化条件下，柑橘果醋中总酸含量为6.0%，酒精转化率为96.31%，分别比优化前提高了0.27%、5.24%。一次发酵法和二次发酵法制备的柑橘果醋中最高总酸含量无显著差异（P＞0.05），但一次发酵法的启动时间比二次发酵法延迟48 h，整个发酵时间延迟了24 h。以柑橘果汁为参比，一次发酵法与二次发酵法制备的柑橘果醋相比，黄色度（b*值）、透光率、嗅觉成分、味觉中的鲜味和丰富度更相近于柑橘果汁。

Electrospun melamine-blended activated carbon nanofibers for enhanced control of indoor CO2

Electrospun carbon nanofibers were activated with melamine–polyacrylonitrile [melamine-blended carbon nanofibers (MACNFs)] for use as a fibrous adsorbent for indoor CO₂ removal. Although, melamine doping was intended solely to incorporate basic nitrogen functionalities on the nanofibers, it also shortened fabrication time, conserving time, and energy cost. The specific surface area and microporosity of the fibers were enhanced from 412 m² g⁻¹ and 0.1646 cm³ g⁻¹ to 547 m² g⁻¹ and 0.220 cm³ g⁻¹, respectively, upon final CO₂ activation of the nanofibers. With the chemical properties, we observed significant tethering of pyridine functionality. The sample, MACNF-7 (10 mL of polymer solution doped with 0.7 g of melamine), provided the optimum melamine doping condition to achieve the highest CO₂ adsorption capacity of 3.15 mmol g⁻¹. The adsorption performance was based on simultaneous improvement in microporosity (physical) and surface basicity (chemical) properties of the adsorbent. However, in a binary mixture with nitrogen, the selective adsorption of CO₂ showed the predominance of the improved surface basicity over microporosity. The highest CO₂ selective capture (1.22 mmol g⁻¹) was occurred for a CO₂:N₂ ratio of 0.15:0.85, with a selectivity of 58.19 at 273 K. In a regeneration test, stable and robust performance was achieved more than five cycles. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019 , 136, 47747.     

高氯酸铵含量对高铝富燃料推进剂中重要组分高氯酸铵/铝 一次燃烧性能和铝粉团聚的影响

采用CO2激光点火装置联合高速摄影系统及扫描电子显微镜等凝聚相燃烧产物分析技术，研究了高氯酸铵(AP)含量对高Al富燃料推进剂中重要组分AP/Al一次燃烧过程中燃烧现象、引燃时间、燃烧扩散时间、燃尽时间、燃烧效率、颗粒团聚及凝聚相燃烧产物的表面形貌、粒径及其分布的影响。结果表明，各AP/Al混合粉体的燃烧过程均可分为表面引燃、燃烧扩散和火焰熄灭3个阶段，但各样品在不同燃烧阶段的燃烧现象存在明显差异。AP含量由10wt%增至30wt%，样品燃烧剧烈程度增强，燃烧过程中固相颗粒的溅射现象越加明显；在火焰熄灭阶段，各样品燃烧由以停留在样品燃面处的燃烧为主逐渐变为以溅射颗粒的燃烧为主，且随反应进行，燃面已燃固相颗粒最先熄灭，各样品表面引燃时间、燃烧扩散时间、燃烧持续时间均缩短，即燃烧反应速率逐渐加快。在AP/Al混合物中，铝粉的燃烧效率、凝聚相燃烧产物粒度及其团聚程度随AP含量增加而增加。
