METHODS: RT-PCR was performed to measure the expression of TIMMP-1 mRNA in rat HSC. Western blot was performed to measure IL-1β-induced JNK and p38 activities in rat HSC. RESULTS: TIMMP-1 mRNA expression (1.191± 0.079) was much higher after treatment with IL-1β (10 ng/mL) for 24 h than in control group (0.545±0.091) (P〈0.01). IL-1β activated INK and p38 in a time-dependent manner. After stimulation with IL-1β for 0, 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min, the INK activity was 0.982±0.299, 1.501±0.720, 2.133±0.882, 3.360±0.452, 2.181±0.789, and 1.385 ± 0.368, respectively. There was a significant difference in JNK activity at 15 min (P〈 0.01), 30 min (P〈 0.01) and 60 min (P〈0.01) in comparison to that at 0 min. The p38 activity was 1.061±0.310, 2.050±0.863, 2.380±0.573, 2.973±0.953, 2.421±0.793, and 1.755 ± 0.433 at the 6 time points (0, 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min) respectively. There was a significant difference in p38 activity at 5 min (P〈0.05), 15 min (P〈0.01), 30 min (P〈0.01) and 60 min (P〈0.01) compared to that at 0 min. TIMMP-1 mRNA expression trended to decrease in 3 groups pretreated with different concentrations of SP600125 (10 μmol/L, 1.022±0.113; 20 μmol/L, 0.869±0.070; 40 μmol/L, 0.666±0.123). Their decreases were all significant (P〈0.05, P〈0.01, P〈0.01) in comparison to control group (without SP600125 treatment, 1.163±0.107). In the other 3 groups pretreated with different concentrations of SB203580 (10 μmol/L, 1.507±0.099; 20 μmol/L, 1.698±0.107; 40 μmol/L, 1.857±0.054), the expression of TIMMP-1 mRNA increased. Their levels were higher than those in the control group (without SB203580 treatment, 1.027 ± 0.061) with a significant statistical significance (P〈 0.01). CONCLUSION: IL-1β has a direct action on hepatic fibrosis by up-regulating TIMMP-1 mRNA expression in ratessionin in rate HSC.JNK and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are involved in IL-1β-induced TIMMP-1 gene expression, and play a distinct role in this process, indicating that p38 and .INK pathways cooperatively mediate TIMP-1 mRNA expression in rat HSC.展开更多

KIB-M10. Structures of these compounds were elucidated via a joint use of spectroscopic analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffractions. Among them, cangumycins E(5) and F(6) share a C-ring cleaved backbone, and cangumycins B(2) and E(5) exhibit potent immunosuppressive activity(IC50 8.1 and 2.7 μmol·L^-1, respectively) against human T cell proliferation at a non-cytotoxic concentration.展开更多

The results showed that GluCD and EDCD were powerful complexant for ANT and Cd^2+. In the presence of 10 g/L GIuCD and EDCD, the solubilization of ANT increased by 47.04 and 23.85 times compared to the control, respectively. GluCD resulted in approximately 90% complexation of Cd^2+ while 70% complexation was observed for EDCD. Simultaneously, GluCD and EDCD could greatly enhance the elution removal of ANT and Cd^2+ from soil. GluCD resulted in the highest elution efficiency of ANT and Cd^2+. With the addition of 10 g/L GluCD, 53.5% of ANT and 85.6% of Cd^2+ were eluted, respectively. The ANT had a negligible effect on the Cd^2+ removal due to different complexing sites of ANT and Cd^2+, while Cd^2+ enhanced the ANT removal under the addition of GluCD because Cd^2+ neutralized the -COOH group of GIuCD. Adversely, the removal of ANT was decreased with Cd^2+ under the addition of EDCD, this was due to the fact that Cd^2+ enhanced the polarity of EDCD molecule and inhibited the complexation between ANT and EDCD. The study suggested that GluCD could be preferred and be successfully applied to remediation of heavy metals or organic compounds in contaminated soil.展开更多

The donor and acceptor could be separated precisely by inserting stearic acid (SA) spacers. The efficiency of the energy transfer increases with the decrease in the donor-acceptor distance by a quadratic manner, suggesting the donor excitations are delocalized in the layer.展开更多

The PAs were obtained in high yields and possessed inherent viscosities in the range of 0.26-0.75 dL/g. All of the polymers were amorphous in nature, showed outstanding solubility and could be easily dissolved in amide-type polar aprotic solvents. They showed good thermal stability with glass transition temperatures between 162-302 ℃. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that all polymers were stable, with 10% weight loss recorded above 421 ℃in N2 atmospheres. All the PAs presented fluorescence upon irradiation with ultraviolet light and thus showed promise for applications in electroluminescent devices. The monomers and PAs were also screened for antibacterial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.展开更多

Pure 1,2-aceanthryenedione, which is used as intermediate of functional aromatic polymer material, was obtained by recrystalling the reaction mixture with aether and was determined by GC/MS, 1↑HNMR and FTIR analysis. The influences of various parameters, such as the contents of AlCl3 in [Emim]Cl-AlCl3, the amount of acylation agent, amount of [Emim]Cl-AlCl3, reaction temperature and reaction time were investigated. The optimum conditions were as follows: the molar fraction of AlCl3 in ionic liquid [x(AlCl3)] being 0.67, molar ratio of ionic liquid to anthracene being 2:1, molar ratio of oxalyl chloride to anthracene being 2:1, reaction temperature being 40℃ and reaction time being 6h. Under above conditions, the yield and selectivity of 1,2-aceanthrylenedione can reach 91.5% and 98.3% respectively. Further more, [Emim]Cl-AlCl3 ionic liquid, compared with metal halides such as AlCl3, was found to catalyze the reaction as a novel environmental friendly catalyst and solvent and can be reused.展开更多

文摘Synthesizing highly efficient,low-toxicity catalysts for the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)contaminated soils is crucial.Nanoscale zero-valent iron(n-ZVI)is widely used in the treatment of pollutants due to its high catalytic activity.However,n-ZVI is prone to aggregation and passivation.Therefore,to design an environmentally friendly,efficient,and practical catalyst material,this study designed a nanoscale zero-valent iron-loaded biochar(BC)polyacrylic acid(PAA)composite materials.Biochar and polyacrylic acid can prevent the ag-gregation of zero-valent iron and provide a large number of functional groups.The iron on the carrier is uniformly distributed,exposing active sites and activating persulfate to remove anthracene(ANT)pollutants from the soil.The BC/PAA/Fe0 system can achieve an anthracene degradation efficiency of 93.7%in soil,and the degradation efficiency of anthracene remains around 90%under both acidic and alkaline con-$$ditions.Free radical capture experiments indicate that the degradation of anthracene proceeds through the radical pathways SO4,$OH,O2 and the non-radical pathway 1O2.In addition,possible degradation pathways for anthracene have been proposed.Plant planting experiments have shown that the catalyst designed in this study has low toxicity and has excellent application prospects in thefield of soil remediation.

文摘Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)containing face-to-faceπ-πinteracting anthracene groups are promising photoresponsive materials because of their rich photophysical properties and their ability to undergo reversible[4+4]photocycloaddition reaction,but it is extremely challenging to obtain such materials.Herein,we propose a generalized method to accomplish photoresponsive MOFs by introducing anthracene pairs into the framework of the dianthracene-phosphonate-based MOFs by controlling the synthesis temperature.Compounds Dy_(2)(ampH)_(2x)(amp2H_(2))_(3-x)(H_(2)O)_(6)·4H_(2)O[x=0.01,Dy-70;x=0.02,Dy-80;x=0.037,Dy-90;amp_(2)H_(4)=pre-photodimerized 9-anthracenemethylphosphonic acid(amp H_(2))]were obtained by the reaction of DyCl_(3)and amp_(2)H_(4)in water at 70,80,and 90℃,respectively.They all show excimer emission of paired anthracenes at ca.555 nm.Detailed studies of Dy-90 have shown that it undergoes a reversible photodimerization reaction under 365 nm and then 280 nm illumination,accompanied by luminescence changes.This property further enables Dy-90 to be used for optical anti-counterfeiting.

文摘Advances in controllable growth of ultra thin two-dimensional molecular crystals(2DMCs)or even monolayer molecular crystals(MMCs)propelled their application in high-performance,high-sensitivity,lowcontact-resistance optoelectronic devices.However,the rational molecular design strategies for materials prone to grow into ultrathin 2DMC or MMC have rarely been addressed.Here,systematically tailoring theπ-conjugation and alkyl chain types of asymmetric anthracene derivatives,2DMCs and even MMCs were obtained under the synergetic regulation of inter-and intralayer interactions.High-quality MMCs were obtained for SAP-C6 by traditional physical vapor transport technique(PVT),and corresponding organic field-effect transistors(OFETs)exhibited high mobility of 3.22 cm^(2)V^(-1)s^(-1).In addition,band-like charge transport with low activation energy was achieved by SAP-C6 MMC-OFETs.Furthermore,the SAPC6 MMC-based device exhibits excellent thermal stability,retaining~70%of its initial performance at 140℃in air,which is the first report on the thermal stability of MMC devices.This research highlights the potential of alkyl-substituted asymmetric molecules as a design strategy to achieve ultrathin 2DMC or MMC growth,and improve the mobility and thermal stability in OFETs.

文摘MoS_2 samples with controllable morphologies and structures were synthesized using surfactantassisted hydrothermal processes.The effects of surfactants(PEG,PVP,P123,SDS,AOT,and CTAB)on the morphologies and structures of MoS_2 samples were investigated.The results revealed that spherical,bulk-like,and flower-like MoS_2 particles assembled by NH4~+-intercalated MoS_2 nano-sheets were synthesized.The morphologies of the MoS_2 samples and their structures(including the slab length and the number of stacked layers) of MoS_2 nano-sheets in these samples could be controlled by adjusting the surfactants.Mono-dispersed spherical MoS_2 particles could be synthesized with PEG via the creation of MoS_2 nano-sheets with slab lengths shorter than 15 nm and fewer than six stacked layers.Possible formation mechanisms of these MoS_2 samples created via surfactant-assisted hydrothermal processes are proposed.Further,the catalytic activities of MoS_2 samples for anthracene hydrogenation were evaluated in a slurry-bed reactor.The catalyst synthesized with the surfactant PEG exhibited the highest catalytic hydrogenation activity.Compared with the other catalysts,it had a smaller particle size,mono-dispersed spherical morphology,shorter slab length,and fewer stacked layers;these were all beneficial to exposing its active edges.This work provides an efficient approach to synthesize transition metal sulfides with controllable morphologies and structures.
文摘AIM: To study the relationship between interleukin-lbeta (IL-1β) up-regulating tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMMP-1) mRNA expression and phosphorylation of both c-jun N-terminal kinase (INK) and p38 in rat heffatic stellate cells (HSC). METHODS: RT-PCR was performed to measure the expression of TIMMP-1 mRNA in rat HSC. Western blot was performed to measure IL-1β-induced JNK and p38 activities in rat HSC. RESULTS: TIMMP-1 mRNA expression (1.191± 0.079) was much higher after treatment with IL-1β (10 ng/mL) for 24 h than in control group (0.545±0.091) (P〈0.01). IL-1β activated INK and p38 in a time-dependent manner. After stimulation with IL-1β for 0, 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min, the INK activity was 0.982±0.299, 1.501±0.720, 2.133±0.882, 3.360±0.452, 2.181±0.789, and 1.385 ± 0.368, respectively. There was a significant difference in JNK activity at 15 min (P〈 0.01), 30 min (P〈 0.01) and 60 min (P〈0.01) in comparison to that at 0 min. The p38 activity was 1.061±0.310, 2.050±0.863, 2.380±0.573, 2.973±0.953, 2.421±0.793, and 1.755 ± 0.433 at the 6 time points (0, 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min) respectively. There was a significant difference in p38 activity at 5 min (P〈0.05), 15 min (P〈0.01), 30 min (P〈0.01) and 60 min (P〈0.01) compared to that at 0 min. TIMMP-1 mRNA expression trended to decrease in 3 groups pretreated with different concentrations of SP600125 (10 μmol/L, 1.022±0.113; 20 μmol/L, 0.869±0.070; 40 μmol/L, 0.666±0.123). Their decreases were all significant (P〈0.05, P〈0.01, P〈0.01) in comparison to control group (without SP600125 treatment, 1.163±0.107). In the other 3 groups pretreated with different concentrations of SB203580 (10 μmol/L, 1.507±0.099; 20 μmol/L, 1.698±0.107; 40 μmol/L, 1.857±0.054), the expression of TIMMP-1 mRNA increased. Their levels were higher than those in the control group (without SB203580 treatment, 1.027 ± 0.061) with a significant statistical significance (P〈 0.01). CONCLUSION: IL-1β has a direct action on hepatic fibrosis by up-regulating TIMMP-1 mRNA expression in ratessionin in rate HSC.JNK and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are involved in IL-1β-induced TIMMP-1 gene expression, and play a distinct role in this process, indicating that p38 and .INK pathways cooperatively mediate TIMP-1 mRNA expression in rat HSC.

文摘Cangumycins A-F(1–6), six new angucyclinone analogues, together with two known ones(7 and 8), were isolated from the fermentation broth of a soil-derived Streptomyces sp. KIB-M10. Structures of these compounds were elucidated via a joint use of spectroscopic analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffractions. Among them, cangumycins E(5) and F(6) share a C-ring cleaved backbone, and cangumycins B(2) and E(5) exhibit potent immunosuppressive activity(IC50 8.1 and 2.7 μmol·L^-1, respectively) against human T cell proliferation at a non-cytotoxic concentration.

文摘Two highly water-soluble amino acids, which derived from β-CDs, i.e., glutamic acid-β-cyclodextrin (GluCD) and ethylene-diamine- β-cyclodextrin (EDCD), were synthesized and were examined for their effect on solubilization of anthracene (ANT), complexation of cadmium (Cd^2+), and elution removal of ANT and Cd^2+ in soil. The results showed that GluCD and EDCD were powerful complexant for ANT and Cd^2+. In the presence of 10 g/L GIuCD and EDCD, the solubilization of ANT increased by 47.04 and 23.85 times compared to the control, respectively. GluCD resulted in approximately 90% complexation of Cd^2+ while 70% complexation was observed for EDCD. Simultaneously, GluCD and EDCD could greatly enhance the elution removal of ANT and Cd^2+ from soil. GluCD resulted in the highest elution efficiency of ANT and Cd^2+. With the addition of 10 g/L GluCD, 53.5% of ANT and 85.6% of Cd^2+ were eluted, respectively. The ANT had a negligible effect on the Cd^2+ removal due to different complexing sites of ANT and Cd^2+, while Cd^2+ enhanced the ANT removal under the addition of GluCD because Cd^2+ neutralized the -COOH group of GIuCD. Adversely, the removal of ANT was decreased with Cd^2+ under the addition of EDCD, this was due to the fact that Cd^2+ enhanced the polarity of EDCD molecule and inhibited the complexation between ANT and EDCD. The study suggested that GluCD could be preferred and be successfully applied to remediation of heavy metals or organic compounds in contaminated soil.

文摘Interlayer energy transfer between 2, 3-naphtho-10-hexadecylaza-15-crown-5 (NC16) and N-[1-(9-methoxyanthryl)]decylaza-15-crown-5 (A10C) within multilayer Langmuir-Blodgett films has been studied by steady-state fluorescence spectra. The donor and acceptor could be separated precisely by inserting stearic acid (SA) spacers. The efficiency of the energy transfer increases with the decrease in the donor-acceptor distance by a quadratic manner, suggesting the donor excitations are delocalized in the layer.

文摘Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) are common contaminants in a municipal solid waste(MSW) composting site.Knowledge of changes in microbial structure is useful to identify particular PAH degraders.However,the microbial community in the MSW composting soil and its change associated with prolonged exposure to PAHs and subsequent biodegradation remain largely unknown.In this study,anthracene was selected as a model compound.The bacterial community structure was investigated using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism(TRFLP) and 16S rRNA gene clone library analysis.The two bimolecular tools revealed a large shift of bacterial community structure after anthracene amendment and subsequent biodegradation.Genera Methylophilus,Mesorhizobium,and Terrimonas had potential links to anthracene biodegradation,suggesting a consortium playing an active role.

文摘Ultrasonic-assisted extraction(UAE)combined with medium pressure liquid chromatography(MPLC)was designed for carbazole separation from anthracene slag(AS).The effects of liquid/solid ratio,temperature,and extraction times on carbazole separation were investigated.When using CC14 and ethyl acetate as extraction solvents and combining with MPLC,carbazole recovery and purity are 75.1%and 95.4%,respectively.The mechanism for carbazole separation were presumed by examining intermolecular interactions such as N-H…π,π-π,and C-Cl…πinteractions.These results demonstrate that UAE/MPLC has a considerable potential as a green and promising strategy for separating and purifying carbazole and other chemicals from AS.

文摘Three diamine monomers with different derivatives of imidazole heterocyclic ring, aryl ethers and electron withdrawing trifluoromethyl groups in the backbone were synthesized and used in polycodensation reaction with various aliphatic and aromatic dicarboxylic acids for preparation of a series of novel polyamides (PAs). The PAs were obtained in high yields and possessed inherent viscosities in the range of 0.26-0.75 dL/g. All of the polymers were amorphous in nature, showed outstanding solubility and could be easily dissolved in amide-type polar aprotic solvents. They showed good thermal stability with glass transition temperatures between 162-302 ℃. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that all polymers were stable, with 10% weight loss recorded above 421 ℃in N2 atmospheres. All the PAs presented fluorescence upon irradiation with ultraviolet light and thus showed promise for applications in electroluminescent devices. The monomers and PAs were also screened for antibacterial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.

文摘To identify the effect of solvents and anthracene on the purification of carbazole,the solvent crystallization of carbazole was investigated with xylene,chlorobenzene and tetrachloroethylene(TCE)as solvents under two forced circulation cooling(FCC)modes.The co-crystalline experimental data were obtained from runs carried out at different anthracene levels between 1%(mass)and 10%(mass).The results showed that a uniform flake carbazole crystal obtained when using xylene and chlorobenzene under the FCC-1 mode with gradual cooling rate.Nevertheless,fine flake crystals grown under shock cooling of FCC-2 mode.It is beneficial to improving the purity of carbazole with chlorobenzene as solvent under cooling mode of FCC-1.Anthracene could promote the growth of carbazole in solution,and it has a significant influence on the purification of carbazole.

文摘The typical organic pollutant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon(PAH) anthracene was selected as a contaminant to investigate its eff ects on the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase(CAT) and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) in the clam Ruditapes philippinarum. The results show that SOD, CAT and GSH-Px had diff erent induction and inhibition reactions to anthracene stress, and that three diff erent organs in R. philippinarum(visceral mass, muscle tissue and mantle) had diff erent sensitivities to anthracene stress. This study suggest that SOD activities of the visceral mass, CAT activitities of the mantle and the visceral mass, and GSH-Px activity of the muscle tissue could be used as sensitive indicators of anthracene stress in R. philippinarum.

文摘Acylation reaction of anthracene with oxalyl chloride in the presence of [Emim]Cl-AlCl3 ionic liquid has been investigated. Pure 1,2-aceanthryenedione, which is used as intermediate of functional aromatic polymer material, was obtained by recrystalling the reaction mixture with aether and was determined by GC/MS, 1↑HNMR and FTIR analysis. The influences of various parameters, such as the contents of AlCl3 in [Emim]Cl-AlCl3, the amount of acylation agent, amount of [Emim]Cl-AlCl3, reaction temperature and reaction time were investigated. The optimum conditions were as follows: the molar fraction of AlCl3 in ionic liquid [x(AlCl3)] being 0.67, molar ratio of ionic liquid to anthracene being 2:1, molar ratio of oxalyl chloride to anthracene being 2:1, reaction temperature being 40℃ and reaction time being 6h. Under above conditions, the yield and selectivity of 1,2-aceanthrylenedione can reach 91.5% and 98.3% respectively. Further more, [Emim]Cl-AlCl3 ionic liquid, compared with metal halides such as AlCl3, was found to catalyze the reaction as a novel environmental friendly catalyst and solvent and can be reused.
