Advanced exergy analysis of an absorption cooling machine: Effects of the difference between the condensation and absorption temperatures

The water–LiBr absorption machine was analyzed with the purpose of identifying the endogenous, exogenous, avoidable and unavoidable fractions of the exergy destruction. The latter was observed to be largely of endogenous nature, with the desorber and absorber being the major contributors. When the difference between the absorption and condensation temperatures was raised, both the first and second law efficiencies degraded. Furthermore, the absorber endogenous avoidable irreversibility was much larger than that at the desorber when the absorption temperature was lower than the condensation temperature, and the situation reversed when the absorption temperature became higher than the condensation temperature. The same trends were observed in terms of the exogenous avoidable exergy destruction. However, the endogenous unavoidable exergy destruction at the absorber was initially smaller than that at the desorber, and the two components equally contributed to the total endogenous unavoidable irreversibility when the absorption temperature became higher than the condensation temperature.

Anticancer activity of flavonoids accompanied by redox state modulation and the potential for a chemotherapeutic strategy

Since researchers began studying the mechanism of flavonoids’ anticancer activity, little attention has been focused on the modulation of redox state in cells as a potential chemotherapeutic strategy. However, recent studies have begun identifying that the anticancer effect of flavonoids occurs both in their antioxidative activity which scavenges ROS and their prooxidative activity which generates ROS. Against this backdrop, this study attempts to achieve a comprehensive analysis of the individual and separate study findings regarding flavonoids’ modulation of redox state in cancer cells. It focuses on the mechanism behind the anticancer effect, and mostly on the modulation of redox potential by flavonoids such as quercetin, hesperetin, apigenin, genistein, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), luteolin and kaempferol in both in vitro and animal models. In addition, the clinical applications of and bioavailability of flavonoids were reviewed to help build a treatment strategy based on flavonoids’ prooxidative potential.
