The prepared Mg/Al-CO_3 layered double hydroxide(LDH) and CLDH were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD) and thermo gravimetric analyzer-differential scanning calorimeters(TG-DSC). Moreover, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol(TCP) was removed effectively(94.7% of removal percentage in 9h) under the optimized experimental conditions. The adsorption kinetics data fitted the pseudosecond-order model well. The Freundlich, Langmuir, and Tempkin adsorption models were applied to the experimental equilibrium adsorption data at different temperatures of solution. The adsorption data fitted the Freundlieh adsorption isotherm with good values of the correlation coefficient. A mechanism of the adsorption process is proposed according to the intraparticle diffusion model, which indicates that the overall rate of adsorption can be described as three steps.展开更多

The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, X-ray photoelec-tron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission elec-tron microscopy (TEM). The photocatalytic activity of Zn<sub>x</sub>Cd<sub>1-x</sub>S was evaluated in the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) degradation and mineralization in aqueous solution under direct solar light illumination. The experiment demonstrated that TCP was effectively degraded by more than 95% with 120 min. The results show that ZnS with Cd doping (Znx</sub>Cd1-x</sub>S) exhibits the much stronger visible light adsorption than that of pure ZnS, the light adsorption increasing as the Cd<sup>2+</sup> doping amount. These results indicate that Cd doping into a ZnS crystal lattice can result in the shift of the valence band of ZnS to a positive direction. It may lead to its higher oxidative ability than pure ZnS, which is important for organic pollutant degradation under solar light irradiation. Further-more, the photocatalytic activity studies reveal that the prepared Znx</sub>Cd1-x</sub>S nanostructures exhibit an excellent photocatalytic performance, degrading rapidly the aqueous 2,4,6-trichlorophenol solution under solar light irradiation. These results sug-gest that Znx</sub>Cd1-x</sub>S nanostructure will be a promising candidate of photocatalyst working in solar light range.展开更多

文摘The neuroinflammatory response mediated by microglial activation plays an important role in the secondary nerve injury of traumatic brain injury.The post-transcriptional modification of N^(6)-methyladenosine is ubiquitous in the immune response of the central nervous system.The fat mass and obesity-related protein catalyzes the demethylation of N^(6)-methyladenosine modifications on mRNA and is widely expressed in various tissues,participating in the regulation of multiple diseases’biological processes.However,the role of fat mass and obesity in microglial activation and the subsequent neuroinflammatory response after traumatic brain injury is unclear.In this study,we found that the expression of fat mass and obesity was significantly down-regulated in both lipopolysaccharide-treated BV2 cells and a traumatic brain injury mouse model.After fat mass and obesity interference,BV2 cells exhibited a pro-inflammatory phenotype as shown by the increased proportion of CD11b^(+)/CD86^(+)cells and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines.Fat mass and obesity-mediated N^(6)-methyladenosine demethylation accelerated the degradation of ADAM17 mRNA,while silencing of fat mass and obesity enhanced the stability of ADAM17 mRNA.Therefore,down-regulation of fat mass and obesity expression leads to the abnormally high expression of ADAM17 in microglia.These results indicate that the activation of microglia and neuroinflammatory response regulated by fat mass and obesity-related N^(6)-methyladenosine modification plays an important role in the pro-inflammatory process of secondary injury following traumatic brain injury.

文摘The reaction mechanism and pathway of the ozonation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol(2,4,6-TCP)in aqueous solution were investigated.The removal efficiency and the variation of H_(2)O_(2),Cl^(−),formic acid,and oxalic acid were studied during the semi-batch ozonation experiments(con-tinuous for ozone gas supply,fixed volume of water sample).The results showed that when there was no scavenger,the removal efficiency of 0.1 mmol/L 2,4,6-TCP could reach 99%within 6 min by adding 24 mg/L ozone.The reaction of molecular ozone with 2,4,6-TCP resulted in the formation of H2O2.The maximal concentration of H_(2)O_(2) detected during the ozonation could reach 22.5%of the original concentration of 2,4,6-TCP.The reaction of ozone with H_(2)O_(2) resulted in the generation of a lot of OH·radicals.Therefore,2,4,6-TCP was degraded to formic acid and oxalic acid by ozone and OH·radicals together.With the inhibition of OH·radicals,ozone molecule firstly degraded 2,4,6-TCP to form chlorinated quinone,which was subsequently oxidized to formic acid and oxalic acid.Two reaction pathways of the degradation of 2,4,6-TCP by ozone and O_(3)/OH·were proposed in this study.
