Phytic acid-assisted fabrication of superhydrophilic Ru 3D electrode for electrocatalytic hydrogenation of p-Nitrophenol

A superhydrophilic Ru-based 3D electrode, denoted as Ru-PA/NF, was fabricated under the assistance of phytic acid (PA) for electrocatalytic hydrogenation of p-Nitrophenol. PA serves as a multifunctional modulator to facilitate the dispersion of active Ru species in porous nickel foam (NF), meanwhile enhance the surface wettability as well as adjust the micromorphology. In alkaline media, the Ru-PA/NF electrode shows the PNP conversion of 94.68% and the PAP selectivity of 99% after 9 h, accompanied by the faraday efficiency (FE) of 73.15%. Over the superhydrophilic Ru-PA/NF the rate constant of PNP conversion into PAP is 2.62-times higher than that over the hydrophobic Ru/NF prepared without the aid of PA, and FE of Ru-PA/NF is 1.28-times higher than Ru/NF. This can be ascribed to intriguing features of Ru-PA/NF involving higher Ru loading, more exposed sites, superior electrolyte wetting along with faster charge transfer rate.     

In Silico Analysis and Experimental Validation of Active Compounds from Cichorium intybus L. Ameliorating Liver Injury

This study aimed at investigating the possible mechanisms of hepatic protective activity of Cichorium intybus L. (chicory) in acute liver injury. Pathological observation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection and measurements of biochemical indexes on mouse models proved hepatic protective effect of Cichorium intybus L. Identification of active compounds in Cichorium intybus L. was executed through several methods including ultra performance liquid chromatography/time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-TOF-MS). Similarity ensemble approach (SEA) docking, molecular modeling, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were applied in this study to explore possible mechanisms of the hepato-protective potential of Cichorium intybus L. We then analyzed the chemical composition of Cichorium intybus L., and found their key targets. Furthermore, in vitro cytological examination and western blot were used for validating the efficacy of the selected compounds. In silico analysis and western blot together demonstrated that selected compound 10 in Cichorium intybus L. targeted Akt-1 in hepatocytes. Besides, compound 13 targeted both caspase-1 and Akt-1. These small compounds may ameliorate liver injury by acting on their targets, which are related to apoptosis or autophagy. The conclusions above may shed light on the complex molecular mechanisms of Cichorium intybus L. acting on hepatocytes and ameliorating liver injury.     

长流道式直线型沉沙池结构优化与数值模拟

沉沙池是保障滴灌系统正常运行的重要设施之一,但灌溉期池内水沙“固液”耦合过程比较复杂,且难以通过单一物理模型进行结构优化。为进一步提高滴灌系统沉沙效率,设计了长流道直线型沉沙池;采用物理试验与数值模拟相结合的方式,研究有无调流板和不同调流板角度对池内水沙运动规律的影响。结果表明:Fluent软件可准确模拟池内“固液”耦合过程;后池设计的调流板起到了消能、降速和提高沉沙率的作用;相较于无调流板,有调流板时后池流速可降低70%以上,沉沙率提高12%以上;且60°倾角调流板池内流速最低,沉沙率最高,出口含沙量最低为1.12 g/L,沉沙率平均可达到71.26%。研究可为优化水工结构、提高沉沙池工作效率提供一定的技术支撑。
