As a result, compared to aqueous MEA and AMP solutions, aqueous blended MEA ＋ AMP solutions have a higher CO2 loading than MEA and a higher reaction rate than AMP. The CO2 loading of rich amine of aqueous 18 wt.% MEA ＋ 12 wt.% AMP solution was 0.62 mol CO2/mol amine, which is 51.2% more than 30 wt.% MEA （0.41 mol CO2/mol amine）. Consequently, blending MEA and AMP could be an effective way to design considering economical efficiency and used to operate absorber for a long time.展开更多

The integrated system comprises a solid amine water desorption （SAWD） unit for CO2 collection and concentration, a Sabatier reactor for CO2 reduction and a solid polymer electrolyte （SPE） unit for O2 regeneration by electrolysis. The performances of the SAWD-Sabatier-SPE integrated system were investigated. The experimental results from the SAWD unit showed that the average CO2 concentration in the CO2 storage tank was more than 96% and the outlet CO2 concentration was nearly zero in the first 45 min, and less than 1/10 of inlet CO2 after 60 min when input CO2 was 0.5% （1000 L）. About 950 L of CO2 was recovered with a recovery rate of 92%-97%. The output CO2 concentration was less than 0.2%, which showed that the adsorption-desorption performance of this unit was excellent. In the CO2 reduction unit we investigated mainly the start-up and reaction performance of the Sabatier reactor. The start-up time of the Sabatier reactor was 6, 8 and 10 rain when the start-up temperature was 187.3, 179.5 and 168 ℃, respectively. The product water was colorless, transparent, and had a pH of 6.9-7.5, and an electrical conductivity of 80μs/cm. The sum of the concentration of metal ions （Ru^3＋, Al^3＋, Pb^2＋） was 0.028% and that of nonmetal ions （Cl^-, SO4^2-） was 0.05%. In the O2 regeneration unit, the O2 generation rate was 0.48 m^3/d and the quantity was 2400 L, sufficient to meet the submariners＇ basic oxygen demands. These results may be useful as a basis for establishing CO2-1evel limits and O2 regeneration systems in submarines or similar enclosed compartments during prolonged voyages.展开更多

I...At present monoethanolamine(MEA) remains as the standard industrial solvent for CO_2 capture processes. But due to the degradation and high energy consumption problems of MEA, new efficient solvents should be found. In the present work, the absorption and regeneration performance of a hybrid solvent MEA-methanol was studied and compared to the aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine(MEA), diethanolamine(DEA) and triethanolamine(TEA) in a bubbling reactor. Also the performance of MEA-methanol solutions(including the absorption performance, regeneration performance,cyclic absorption performance, density and viscosity) was studied with different MEA concentrations. A pilot-plant CO_2 capture test bed was used to study the potential of MEA-methanol to replace aqueous MEA in industrial use. The results showed that the initial absorption rate of MEA-methanol solvent is the fastest compared with other solvents. The 30% MEA-methanol had a faster mass transfer coefficient, a higher CO_2 absorption efficiency and a lower regeneration energy consumption than aqueous MEA. And through the study of the reaction heat of CO_2 into MEA-methanol and aqueous MEA,it can be concluded that the desorption heat of rich MEA-methanol is only about 30% of rich aqueous MEA solvent in the regeneration process which showed that 30% MEA-methanol solvent is a promising candidate for CO_2 capture.展开更多

The CO2 absorption and amine regeneration characteristics were experimentally examined under various operating conditions. The regeneration efficiency increased from 86.2% to 98.3% during the temperature range of 358 to 403 K. The most suitable regeneration temperature for AMP was 383 K, in this experiment condition, and the regeneration efficiency of absorption/regeneration runs descended from 98.3% to 94.0%. A number of heat-stable salts （HSS） could cause a reduction in CO2 absorption capacity and regeneration efficiency. The results indicated that aqueous AMP was easier to regenerate with less loss of absorption capacity than other amines, such as, monoethanolamine （MEA）, diethanolamine （DEA）, diethylenetriamine （DETA）, and N-methyldiethanolamine （MDEA）.展开更多

Catalyst regeneration has been an emerging research topic for flue gas denitrification in glass furnace. Regeneration of the deactivated TiO2-ZrO2-CeO2 /Al2TiO 5 -TiO2-SiO2 （ATS） complex phase ceramics catalysts used for NH3 -SCR of NO x in glass furnace was studied in this work. Effects of regeneration methods, including washing with different aqueous solutions and sulfuric acid, thermal regeneration, thermal reduction regeneration, and thermal regeneration with SO2 , on catalytic performance were comparatively investigated. In comparison of catalytic activities between the catalysts before and after regeneration, results showed that washing was the most effective regeneration method, and the sulfuric acid concentration of the washing solution was an important factor. Washing time directly affected catalyst regeneration efficiency and catalyst life. The regenerated TiO2-ZrO2 -CeO2 /ATS catalyst regained more than 90% NO conversion after being washed with 10 wt.% H2SO4 for 30 min.展开更多

To identify the signaling pathway involved in electrical stimulation improving the function of injured spinal cord, 21 female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups： control （no surgical intervention, n = 6）, SCI （SCI only, n = 5）, and electrical simulation （ES; SCI induction followed by ES treatment, n = 10）. A complete spinal cord transection was performed at the 10^th thoracic level. Electrical stimulation of the injured spinal cord region was applied for 4 hours per day for 7 days. On days 2 and 7 post SCI, the Touch-Test Sensory Evaluators and the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan locomotor scale were used to evaluate rat sensory and motor function. Somatosensory-evoked potentials of the tibial nerve of a hind paw of the rat were measured to evaluate the electrophysiological function of injured spinal cord. Western blot analysis was performed to measure p38-RhoA and ERK1/2-Bcl-2 pathways related protein levels in the injured spinal cord. Rat sensory and motor functions were similar between SCI and ES groups. Com- pared with the SCI group, in the ES group, the latencies of the somatosensory-evoked potential of the tibial nerve of rats were significantly shortened, the amplitudes were significantly increased, RhoA protein level was significantly decreased, protein gene product 9.5 expression, ERK1/2, p38, and Bcl-2 protein levels in the spinal cord were significantly increased. These data suggest that ES can promote the recovery of electrophysiological function of the injured spinal cord through regulating p38-RhoA and ERK1/2-Bcl-2 pathway-related protein levels in the injured spinal cord.展开更多

This paper focuses on the recovery and regeneration of alumina with high additional value from the spent hydrodesulfurization catalyst CoMo/Al_2O_3. The results indicate that 98.13% alumina is successfully leached from the treated spent catalysts by an alkaline leaching process under the conditions of 5 mol·L^(-1) sodium hydroxide,a liquid/solid ratio of 20 ml·g^(-1),a temperature of 160 0 C and a reaction time of 4 h. In the leaching residue, no difficult leaching compound is found and cobalt and nickel are enriched,both of which are conducive to the subsequent metal recovery step. The reaction order of aluminum leaching is 0.99. This reaction fits well with the interfacial chemical reaction model, and its apparent activation energy is calculated as 45.50 kJ mol^(-1). Subsequently, y-Al_2O_3 with a high specific surface area of 278.3 m^2·g^(-1), a mean size of 2.2 μm and an average pore size of 3.10 nm is then regenerated from the lixivium, indicating its suitability for use as a catalyst carrier. The recovery and regeneration of alumina from spent catalysts can not only significantly contribute to the total recycling of such hazardous spent catalysts but also provide a new approach for the preparation of y-Al_2O_3 with a high specific surface area using spent catalysts as the aluminum sources.展开更多

When 700 ppm SO2 was fed in, the Mn-Ce/TiO2 catalyst had good resistance to SO2, but the deactivation of Mn-Ce/TiO2 poisoned by SO2 still occurred. The NO conversion of Mn-Ce/TiO2 （the molar ra-tio of Ce to Ti is 0.075） catalyst decreased from 92.5% to 34.6% in 13 h. Characterizations of fresh and SO2-poisoned Mn-Ce/TiO2 catalysts were carried out by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method （BET）, ion chromatography （IC）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The characterized results indicated that the deposition of sulfates and nitrates on the surface made the catalyst deactivated. Water washing, thermal regeneration and reductive regeneration were used to regenerate the deactivated Mn-Ce/TiO2. And water washing showed best performance on the regeneration of poisoned catalysts, especially with ultrasonic vibration. The Mn-Ce/TiO2 catalyst showed high stability under a series of deactivation-regeneration experiments for ten cycles.展开更多

The oxide catalyst exhibited a poor resistance to sulfur dioxide after the treatment in 100 ppm SO2/air at 350 °C for 50 h. The formation of manganese sulfate and especially cerium sulfate reduced the availability of surface active metal oxides, blocked the pore structure and decreased the surface area of the catalyst. These changes in chemical and structural and textural properties resulted in a severe loss in the activities of the sulfated catalyst for NO and soot oxidation. The decomposition of sulfates was almost complete during the calcina-tion in air at 800 °C for 30 min, which partially recovered the surface active sites and the catalyst surface area despite the significant sintering of metal oxides. Consequently, the NOx-assisted soot oxidation activity of the catalyst was regenerated to some extent by the oxidation treatment.展开更多

Activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway has been shown to enhance the intrinsic growth capacity of neurons and to facilitate axonal regeneration in the central nervous system after injury. The deletion of the mTOR negative regulator phosphatase and tensin homolog （PTEN） enhances regeneration of adult corticospinal neurons and ganglion cells. In the present study, we used a tyrosine-mutated （Y444F） AAV2 vector to efficiently express a short hairpin RNA （shRNA） for silencing PTEN expression in retinal ganglion cells. We evaluated cell survival and axonal regeneration in a rat model of optic nerve axotomy. The rats received an intravitreal injection of wildtype AAV2 or Y444F mutant AAV2 （both carrying shRNA to PTEN） 4 weeks before optic nerve axotomy. Compared with the wildtype AAV2 vector, the Y444F mutant AAV2 vector enhanced retinal ganglia cell survival and stimulated axonal regeneration to a greater extent 6 weeks after axotomy. Moreover,post-axotomy injection of the Y444F AAV2 vector expressing the shRNA to PTEN rescued ～19% of retinal ganglion cells and induced axons to regenerate near to the optic chiasm. Taken together, our results demonstrate that PTEN knockdown with the Y444F AAV2 vector promotes retinal ganglion cell survival and stimulates long-distance axonal regeneration after optic nerve axotomy. Therefore, the Y444F AAV2 vector might be a promising gene therapy tool for treating optic nerve injury.展开更多

文摘Catalytic regeneration is a key approach to solving high energy consumption issues in the amine-based CO_(2)absorption method.Previous studies have shown that loaded acid sites(such as SO_(4)^(2-))are beneficial for promoting low-temperature CO_(2)-rich amine regeneration,but their weak binding strength to the support results in limited catalyst life.Herein,we proposed an advanced catalyst modification strategy to maintain the active hydroxyl group(Zr-OH-Fe)via actively transferring electrons on the surface of FeZrO_(x)nano-heterojunction.Combining in situ DRIFTS and DFT calculations,we revealed that the ZrOH-Fe at the ZrO_(2)-Fe_(2)O_(3)heterointerfaces exhibit enhanced proton-donating ability,with deprotonation energy reduced from 2.94 to 2.61 eV compared to Zr-OH(which should be called inert hydroxyl group).This improvement favors the rate-determining proton transfer step from RNH_(3)^(+)to RNHCOO^(-).Surprisingly,it increased the CO_(2)desorption rate by 10.5 times and reduced the energy consumption by 43.6%during amine regeneration.This work offers a practical strategy for improving the performance of lowtemperature CO_(2)-rich amine regeneration catalysts,and the low-cost recyclability of amine used in CO_(2)capture.

文摘The carbon dioxide （CO2） removal efficiency, reaction rate, and CO2 loading into aqueous blended monoethanolamine （MEA） ＋ 2-amino-2-methyl-l-propanol （AMP） solutions to enhance absorption characteristics of MEA and AMP were carried out by the absorption/regeneration process. As a result, compared to aqueous MEA and AMP solutions, aqueous blended MEA ＋ AMP solutions have a higher CO2 loading than MEA and a higher reaction rate than AMP. The CO2 loading of rich amine of aqueous 18 wt.% MEA ＋ 12 wt.% AMP solution was 0.62 mol CO2/mol amine, which is 51.2% more than 30 wt.% MEA （0.41 mol CO2/mol amine）. Consequently, blending MEA and AMP could be an effective way to design considering economical efficiency and used to operate absorber for a long time.

文摘To improve the working and living environment of submarine crews, an integrated system of CO2 removal and O2 regeneration was designed to work under experimental conditions for 50 people in a submarine cabin during prolonged voyages. The integrated system comprises a solid amine water desorption （SAWD） unit for CO2 collection and concentration, a Sabatier reactor for CO2 reduction and a solid polymer electrolyte （SPE） unit for O2 regeneration by electrolysis. The performances of the SAWD-Sabatier-SPE integrated system were investigated. The experimental results from the SAWD unit showed that the average CO2 concentration in the CO2 storage tank was more than 96% and the outlet CO2 concentration was nearly zero in the first 45 min, and less than 1/10 of inlet CO2 after 60 min when input CO2 was 0.5% （1000 L）. About 950 L of CO2 was recovered with a recovery rate of 92%-97%. The output CO2 concentration was less than 0.2%, which showed that the adsorption-desorption performance of this unit was excellent. In the CO2 reduction unit we investigated mainly the start-up and reaction performance of the Sabatier reactor. The start-up time of the Sabatier reactor was 6, 8 and 10 rain when the start-up temperature was 187.3, 179.5 and 168 ℃, respectively. The product water was colorless, transparent, and had a pH of 6.9-7.5, and an electrical conductivity of 80μs/cm. The sum of the concentration of metal ions （Ru^3＋, Al^3＋, Pb^2＋） was 0.028% and that of nonmetal ions （Cl^-, SO4^2-） was 0.05%. In the O2 regeneration unit, the O2 generation rate was 0.48 m^3/d and the quantity was 2400 L, sufficient to meet the submariners＇ basic oxygen demands. These results may be useful as a basis for establishing CO2-1evel limits and O2 regeneration systems in submarines or similar enclosed compartments during prolonged voyages.

文摘The visual system of teleost fish grows continuously,which is a useful model for studying regeneration of the central nervous system.Glial cells are key for this process,but their contribution is still not well defined.We followed oligodendrocytes in the visual system of adult zebrafish during regeneration of the optic nerve at 6,24,and 72 hours post-lesion and at 7 and 14 days post-lesion via the sox10:tagRFP transgenic line and confocal microscopy.To understand the changes that these oligodendrocytes undergo during regeneration,we used Sox2 immunohistochemistry,a stem cell marker involved in oligodendrocyte differentiation.We also used the Click-iT™ Plus TUNEL assay to study cell death and a BrdU assay to determine cell proliferation.Before optic nerve crush,sox10:tagRFP oligodendrocytes are located in the retina,in the optic nerve head,and through all the entire optic nerve.Sox2-positive cells are present in the peripheral germinal zone,the mature retina,and the optic nerve.After optic nerve crush,sox10:tagRFP cells disappeared from the optic nerve crush zone,suggesting that they died,although they were not TUNEL positive.Concomitantly,the number of Sox2-positive cells increased around the crushed area,the optic nerve head,and the retina.Then,between 24 hours post-lesion and 14 days post-lesion,double sox10:tagRFP/Sox2-positive cells were detected in the retina,optic nerve head,and whole optic nerve,together with a proliferation response at 72 hours post-lesion.Our results confirm that a degenerating process may occur prior to regeneration.First,sox10:tagRFP oligodendrocytes that surround the degenerated axons stop wrapping them,change their“myelinating oligodendrocyte”morphology to a“nonmyelinating oligodendrocyte”morphology,and die.Then,residual oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in the optic nerve and retina proliferate and differentiate for the purpose of remyelination.As new axons arise from the surviving retinal ganglion cells,new sox10:tagRFP oligodendrocytes arise from residual oligodendrocyte progenitor cells to guide,nourish and myelinate them.Thus,oligodendrocytes play an active role in zebrafish axon regeneration and remyelination.

文摘At present monoethanolamine(MEA) remains as the standard industrial solvent for CO_2 capture processes. But due to the degradation and high energy consumption problems of MEA, new efficient solvents should be found. In the present work, the absorption and regeneration performance of a hybrid solvent MEA-methanol was studied and compared to the aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine(MEA), diethanolamine(DEA) and triethanolamine(TEA) in a bubbling reactor. Also the performance of MEA-methanol solutions(including the absorption performance, regeneration performance,cyclic absorption performance, density and viscosity) was studied with different MEA concentrations. A pilot-plant CO_2 capture test bed was used to study the potential of MEA-methanol to replace aqueous MEA in industrial use. The results showed that the initial absorption rate of MEA-methanol solvent is the fastest compared with other solvents. The 30% MEA-methanol had a faster mass transfer coefficient, a higher CO_2 absorption efficiency and a lower regeneration energy consumption than aqueous MEA. And through the study of the reaction heat of CO_2 into MEA-methanol and aqueous MEA,it can be concluded that the desorption heat of rich MEA-methanol is only about 30% of rich aqueous MEA solvent in the regeneration process which showed that 30% MEA-methanol solvent is a promising candidate for CO_2 capture.
文摘To improve the efficiency of the carbon dioxide cycling process and to reduce the regeneration energy consumption, a sterically hindered amine of 2-amino-2-methyl-1- propranol （AMP） was investigated to determine its regeneration behavior as a CO2 absorbent. The CO2 absorption and amine regeneration characteristics were experimentally examined under various operating conditions. The regeneration efficiency increased from 86.2% to 98.3% during the temperature range of 358 to 403 K. The most suitable regeneration temperature for AMP was 383 K, in this experiment condition, and the regeneration efficiency of absorption/regeneration runs descended from 98.3% to 94.0%. A number of heat-stable salts （HSS） could cause a reduction in CO2 absorption capacity and regeneration efficiency. The results indicated that aqueous AMP was easier to regenerate with less loss of absorption capacity than other amines, such as, monoethanolamine （MEA）, diethanolamine （DEA）, diethylenetriamine （DETA）, and N-methyldiethanolamine （MDEA）.

文摘Larger amounts of alkalis, alkali earth metals and sulfides in flue gas from glass furnace were easier to deactivate selective catalytic reduction （SCR） catalyst compared to the flue gases from other stationary sources. Catalyst regeneration has been an emerging research topic for flue gas denitrification in glass furnace. Regeneration of the deactivated TiO2-ZrO2-CeO2 /Al2TiO 5 -TiO2-SiO2 （ATS） complex phase ceramics catalysts used for NH3 -SCR of NO x in glass furnace was studied in this work. Effects of regeneration methods, including washing with different aqueous solutions and sulfuric acid, thermal regeneration, thermal reduction regeneration, and thermal regeneration with SO2 , on catalytic performance were comparatively investigated. In comparison of catalytic activities between the catalysts before and after regeneration, results showed that washing was the most effective regeneration method, and the sulfuric acid concentration of the washing solution was an important factor. Washing time directly affected catalyst regeneration efficiency and catalyst life. The regenerated TiO2-ZrO2 -CeO2 /ATS catalyst regained more than 90% NO conversion after being washed with 10 wt.% H2SO4 for 30 min.

文摘Although electrical stimulation is therapeutically applied for neural regeneration in patients, it remains unclear how electrical stimulation exerts its effects at the molecular level on spinal cord injury （SCI）. To identify the signaling pathway involved in electrical stimulation improving the function of injured spinal cord, 21 female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups： control （no surgical intervention, n = 6）, SCI （SCI only, n = 5）, and electrical simulation （ES; SCI induction followed by ES treatment, n = 10）. A complete spinal cord transection was performed at the 10^th thoracic level. Electrical stimulation of the injured spinal cord region was applied for 4 hours per day for 7 days. On days 2 and 7 post SCI, the Touch-Test Sensory Evaluators and the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan locomotor scale were used to evaluate rat sensory and motor function. Somatosensory-evoked potentials of the tibial nerve of a hind paw of the rat were measured to evaluate the electrophysiological function of injured spinal cord. Western blot analysis was performed to measure p38-RhoA and ERK1/2-Bcl-2 pathways related protein levels in the injured spinal cord. Rat sensory and motor functions were similar between SCI and ES groups. Com- pared with the SCI group, in the ES group, the latencies of the somatosensory-evoked potential of the tibial nerve of rats were significantly shortened, the amplitudes were significantly increased, RhoA protein level was significantly decreased, protein gene product 9.5 expression, ERK1/2, p38, and Bcl-2 protein levels in the spinal cord were significantly increased. These data suggest that ES can promote the recovery of electrophysiological function of the injured spinal cord through regulating p38-RhoA and ERK1/2-Bcl-2 pathway-related protein levels in the injured spinal cord.

文摘Aluminum recovery is a key issue for the overall recycling of valuable metals from spent catalysts. This paper focuses on the recovery and regeneration of alumina with high additional value from the spent hydrodesulfurization catalyst CoMo/Al_2O_3. The results indicate that 98.13% alumina is successfully leached from the treated spent catalysts by an alkaline leaching process under the conditions of 5 mol·L^(-1) sodium hydroxide,a liquid/solid ratio of 20 ml·g^(-1),a temperature of 160 0 C and a reaction time of 4 h. In the leaching residue, no difficult leaching compound is found and cobalt and nickel are enriched,both of which are conducive to the subsequent metal recovery step. The reaction order of aluminum leaching is 0.99. This reaction fits well with the interfacial chemical reaction model, and its apparent activation energy is calculated as 45.50 kJ mol^(-1). Subsequently, y-Al_2O_3 with a high specific surface area of 278.3 m^2·g^(-1), a mean size of 2.2 μm and an average pore size of 3.10 nm is then regenerated from the lixivium, indicating its suitability for use as a catalyst carrier. The recovery and regeneration of alumina from spent catalysts can not only significantly contribute to the total recycling of such hazardous spent catalysts but also provide a new approach for the preparation of y-Al_2O_3 with a high specific surface area using spent catalysts as the aluminum sources.

文摘SO2 poisoning and regeneration of Mn-Ce/TiO2 catalyst prepared by a novel co-precipitation method for low temperature selective catalytic reduction （SCR） of NOx with ammonia were investigated in this study. When 700 ppm SO2 was fed in, the Mn-Ce/TiO2 catalyst had good resistance to SO2, but the deactivation of Mn-Ce/TiO2 poisoned by SO2 still occurred. The NO conversion of Mn-Ce/TiO2 （the molar ra-tio of Ce to Ti is 0.075） catalyst decreased from 92.5% to 34.6% in 13 h. Characterizations of fresh and SO2-poisoned Mn-Ce/TiO2 catalysts were carried out by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method （BET）, ion chromatography （IC）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The characterized results indicated that the deposition of sulfates and nitrates on the surface made the catalyst deactivated. Water washing, thermal regeneration and reductive regeneration were used to regenerate the deactivated Mn-Ce/TiO2. And water washing showed best performance on the regeneration of poisoned catalysts, especially with ultrasonic vibration. The Mn-Ce/TiO2 catalyst showed high stability under a series of deactivation-regeneration experiments for ten cycles.

文摘An innovative technology,nitric acid pressure leaching of limonitic laterite ores,was proposed by our research team.The HNO3 regeneration is considerable significance for the improvement of the proposed technology and its commercial application,but it has not been systematically investigated.Herein,regenerating HNO3 from Ca(NO3)2 solution with low-cost H2SO4,and simultaneous synthesis of fibrous CaSO4·2H2O by-products were studied.As a theoretical basis,the solubility of CaSO4·2H2O in HNO3 medium is studied.It is concluded that the solubility of CaSO4·2H2O increases with increasing temperature or increasing HNO3 concentration,which has considerable guiding significance for the subsequent experimental research and analysis.Then,the effects of various factors on the residual Ca^2+ concentration of filtrate,the regenerated HNO3 concentration and the morphology of synthesized products are investigated using ICP-AES and SEM.And the effect mechanism is also analyzed.The results indicate the regenerated HNO3 concentration reaches 116 g/L with the residual Ca^2+ concentration being 9.7 g/L at the optimum conditions.Moreover,fibrous CaSO4·2H2O by-products with high aspect ratios(length,406.32μm;diameter,14.71μm;aspect ratio,27.62)can be simultaneously synthesized.

文摘MnOx-CeO2-Al2O3 mixed oxides were prepared by impregnating manganese and cerium precursors on alumina powders via a sol- gel deposition method. The oxide catalyst exhibited a poor resistance to sulfur dioxide after the treatment in 100 ppm SO2/air at 350 °C for 50 h. The formation of manganese sulfate and especially cerium sulfate reduced the availability of surface active metal oxides, blocked the pore structure and decreased the surface area of the catalyst. These changes in chemical and structural and textural properties resulted in a severe loss in the activities of the sulfated catalyst for NO and soot oxidation. The decomposition of sulfates was almost complete during the calcina-tion in air at 800 °C for 30 min, which partially recovered the surface active sites and the catalyst surface area despite the significant sintering of metal oxides. Consequently, the NOx-assisted soot oxidation activity of the catalyst was regenerated to some extent by the oxidation treatment.

文摘The lack of axonal regeneration is the major cause of vision loss after optic nerve injury in adult mammals. Activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway has been shown to enhance the intrinsic growth capacity of neurons and to facilitate axonal regeneration in the central nervous system after injury. The deletion of the mTOR negative regulator phosphatase and tensin homolog （PTEN） enhances regeneration of adult corticospinal neurons and ganglion cells. In the present study, we used a tyrosine-mutated （Y444F） AAV2 vector to efficiently express a short hairpin RNA （shRNA） for silencing PTEN expression in retinal ganglion cells. We evaluated cell survival and axonal regeneration in a rat model of optic nerve axotomy. The rats received an intravitreal injection of wildtype AAV2 or Y444F mutant AAV2 （both carrying shRNA to PTEN） 4 weeks before optic nerve axotomy. Compared with the wildtype AAV2 vector, the Y444F mutant AAV2 vector enhanced retinal ganglia cell survival and stimulated axonal regeneration to a greater extent 6 weeks after axotomy. Moreover,post-axotomy injection of the Y444F AAV2 vector expressing the shRNA to PTEN rescued ～19% of retinal ganglion cells and induced axons to regenerate near to the optic chiasm. Taken together, our results demonstrate that PTEN knockdown with the Y444F AAV2 vector promotes retinal ganglion cell survival and stimulates long-distance axonal regeneration after optic nerve axotomy. Therefore, the Y444F AAV2 vector might be a promising gene therapy tool for treating optic nerve injury.
