We evaluated the effect of Brazilian propolis (P1) in guinea pig isolated trachea in vitro contracted with hista-mine, in paw oedema induced by histamine in mice and anti-ulcerogenic effect of propolis formulation in mice. We used a P1 extract from South of Brazil to produce a formulation containing sodium bicarbonate and propolis dry extract (2%). In the guinea pig trachea Brazilian propolis extract (10 μg/mL) produced a non-significant inhibition in the cumulative response curve for histamine. However, the dose of 100 μg/mL shown had a significant inhibitory effect on the contraction induced by histamine (51% ± 5%). In the mouse paw oedema induced by intraplantar injection of histamine (50 μg/paw), the results showed that the treatment of the mice with P1 (10 or 100 mg/Kg (p.o) or 1 or 10 mg/Kg (i.p)), 0.5 h beforehand, significantly inhibited the paw oedema with maximal inhibition (MI) of 25% or 42% by p.o. route or 22% or 37% by i.p. route, respectively. Finally we have pre-treated mice with P1 formulation (20 mg/Kg or 40 mg/Kg, p.o, one time) or vehicle (powder) in animals submitted to diclofenac-induced ulcer, after 8 h P1 formulation inhibited of 43% or 83% of ulcers scores, respectively. Results showed that P1 formulation inhibited the ulcerogenic effect induced by diclofenac. Results suggested also, at least in part, the antiulcerogenic effect of formulation containing standardized extract of propolis can be due to the antagonistic action on the histaminergic system.展开更多

Methods: Forty specimens, each of PMMA, Valplast, DuraFlex, Dura Cetal were fabricated and finished according to individual manufactures’ instructions. These materials were adjusted with tungsten carbide (TC) burs to mimic gross adjustments, and then re-polished either on a lathe or bonded silicon carbide (B-SC). Following instrumentation, the specimens were assessed using contact profilometry and scanning electron microscopy. Two-factor ANOVA was used to determine significant differences in mean surface roughness (Ra and Rmax), with included factors being material type and re-polishing regimen. Results: Mean Ra values ranged from 0.26 (DuraFlex control) to 1.82 (Valplast adjusted with TC burs). Mean Rmax values ranged from 1.88 (Dura Flex control) to 13.76 (Valplast adjusted with TC burs). Two-factor ANOVA revealed that interaction of both factors was significant (p Ra and Rmax. There was a statistically significant increase in both Ra (p Rmax (p < 0.05) for all material types following the gross adjustment. With the exception of DuraFlex, re-polishing of samples that were previously adjusted with TC burs, on the dental lathe produced surfaces that were comparable to control samples. Conclusion: Adjustment of DuraFlex should be kept to a minimum since the adjustment produced the significant surface detriment that could not be corrected with either of the polishing regimens.展开更多

Th...This study uses all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the dislocation propagation, stress transmission, and mechanical properties in poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) fibers under uniaxial tension. The results indicate that the dislocation propagates and the stress transfers not only along the fiber axis but also between adjacent molecular chains through hydrogen bonds, demonstrating their influence on the yield behavior. As the degree of polymerization increases, breakage of covalent bonds and interchain slippage contribute to the yield of fibers together. This work provides theoretical guidance for the design and manufacturing of high-performance fibers.展开更多

We evaluated the effect of Brazilian propolis (P1) in guinea pig isolated trachea in vitro contracted with hista-mine, in paw oedema induced by histamine in mice and anti-ulcerogenic effect of propolis formulation in mice. We used a P1 extract from South of Brazil to produce a formulation containing sodium bicarbonate and propolis dry extract (2%). In the guinea pig trachea Brazilian propolis extract (10 μg/mL) produced a non-significant inhibition in the cumulative response curve for histamine. However, the dose of 100 μg/mL shown had a significant inhibitory effect on the contraction induced by histamine (51% ± 5%). In the mouse paw oedema induced by intraplantar injection of histamine (50 μg/paw), the results showed that the treatment of the mice with P1 (10 or 100 mg/Kg (p.o) or 1 or 10 mg/Kg (i.p)), 0.5 h beforehand, significantly inhibited the paw oedema with maximal inhibition (MI) of 25% or 42% by p.o. route or 22% or 37% by i.p. route, respectively. Finally we have pre-treated mice with P1 formulation (20 mg/Kg or 40 mg/Kg, p.o, one time) or vehicle (powder) in animals submitted to diclofenac-induced ulcer, after 8 h P1 formulation inhibited of 43% or 83% of ulcers scores, respectively. Results showed that P1 formulation inhibited the ulcerogenic effect induced by diclofenac. Results suggested also, at least in part, the antiulcerogenic effect of formulation containing standardized extract of propolis can be due to the antagonistic action on the histaminergic system.

文摘Conductive polymers have recently drawn tremendous attention due to their promising applications in electronic and energy-related devices.While p-type conductive polymers such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS)have achieved commercialization,the development of stable,high-performance n-type polymers has lagged.Recently,the discovery of n-type polymer poly(benzodifurandione)(PBFDO)has greatly promoted the development and application of n-type conductive polymers.However,the synthesis process involves cumbersome post-processing,which greatly increases the cost and difficulty of mass production.Herein,a novel synthesis method for PBFDO has been developed,which was promoted by the combination of solvent dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)and acetic anhydride(Ac_(2)O).This method exploits the oxidative capability of DMSO,activated by Ac_(2)O,which can promote the keto-enol tautomerism of 3,7-dihydrobenzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]difuran-2,6-dione(BFDO)and induce the rapid polymerization.The resulting PBFDO ink exhibits a high electronic conductivity of more than 2000 S cm^(-1)and excellent ambient stability.Significantly,the additives and by-products remain in a liquid state during the polymerization process and possess low boiling points,allowing for the production of pure PBFDO films through straightforward heating and drying.Furthermore,this approach holds considerable promise for in situ polymerization,as functional conductive films can be prepared by merely combining the monomers with the DMSO/Ac_(2)O mixture and applying heat.This efficient,purification-free strategy represents a significant step toward the industrial application of the highperformance n-type conductive polymer PBFDO.

文摘Bio-based 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid polyesters offer significant promise for reducing energy and environmental crises.However,their intrinsic flammability remains a critical limitation,and conventional flame-retardant strategies often compromise their mechanical properties,hindering their practical applications.Herein,a 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide(DOPO)-based comonomer(DDP)was used to synthesize flame-retardant poly(ethylene furandicarboxylate-co-phosphaphenanthrene)(PEFDn).The covalent integration of DDP confers intrinsic flame retardancy,avoiding the plasticization and migration issues associated with additive-type systems.Upon thermal decomposition,the DOPO-derived moieties release phosphoric acid and radical scavengers,promoting char formation and suppressing flame propagation.Furthermore,density functional theory(DFT)calculations combined with non-covalent interaction(NCI)analysis revealed that DOPO dimer molecules adopt a stable parallel-displaced π-π stacking configu ration,potentially facilitating microphase separation and enhancing the energy dissipation capability.PEFD_(10)achieves a UL-94 V-0 rating while simultaneously increasing impact toughness from 1.5 kJ/m^(2) to 14.7 kJ/m^(2).Im portantly,PEFDn maintained acceptable oxygen-barrier properties.PEFD10 also exhibited high transparency and UV-shielding performance.The combination of intrinsic flame safety,im pact-toughness resistance,UV shielding,and an oxygen barrier ensures reliable protection of electrical components and long-term operational stability.The integration of multiple critical properties within a single bio-based material represents a novel approach fo r enabling sustainable polymer solutions for high-pe rformance electrical applications.
文摘Although poly(urethane-urea)elastomers(PUEs)possess excellent mechanical properties and durability,their inherent flammability and inability to self-repair after damage significantly limits their applications in high-end fields.To address this challenge,this study employs a supramolecular chemistry approach by simultaneously incorporating multiple hydrogen bonds as dynamic cross-linking points and a phosphorus-nitrogen synergistic flame-retardant structure into the poly(urethane-urea)network.The multiple hydrogen bonds endow the material with efficient intrinsic self-healing capability,while the phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardant ensures outstanding thermal stability and flame resistance,leading to the successful synthesis of a high-performance multifunctional poly(urethane-urea)elastomer.Experimental results demonstrated that when the content of the flame retardant diethyl(2-((2-aminoethyl)amino)ethyl)phosphoramidate(DEPTA)was 10 wt%,the resulting PUE/10%DEPTA achieved a V-0 rating in the vertical burning test,with a limiting oxygen index(LOI)of 30%.Concurrently,the elastomer maintained good toughness,exhibiting a tensile strength of 27.3 MPa,an elongation at break of 601%,and a self-healing efficiency of up to 94.46%.This breakthrough shows significant promise for advanced engineering applications that demand fire safety,structural durability,and extended service life through self-repair.

文摘This study uses all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the dislocation propagation, stress transmission, and mechanical properties in poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) fibers under uniaxial tension. The results indicate that the dislocation propagates and the stress transfers not only along the fiber axis but also between adjacent molecular chains through hydrogen bonds, demonstrating their influence on the yield behavior. As the degree of polymerization increases, breakage of covalent bonds and interchain slippage contribute to the yield of fibers together. This work provides theoretical guidance for the design and manufacturing of high-performance fibers.

文摘Poly(ester amide)s(PEAs)represent promising biomaterials because of their well-balanced mechanical properties,biodegradability,and biocompatibility.However,practical applications of PEAs are still limited by challenges in functional versatility and environmental adaptability.Here,we present the first synthesis of periodic selenium-incorporated PEAs(Se-PEAs)via a rapid,catalyst-free selenol-yne click polymerization process.By harnessing the versatility of selenium,we achieved precise modulation of material properties.The resulting Se-PEAs demonstrated tunable mechanical behavior,spanning rigid plastics to elastomers,alongside exceptional thermal stability and high optical clarity.Programmable degradation profiles ensure long-term stability in physiological environments while facilitating rapid oxidative degradation at the end of the lifecycle.Surface selenoniumization further conferred robust antibacterial efficacy without compromising mechanical integrity.This multifunctionality positions Se-PEAs as transformative materials for biomedical implants,sustainable packaging,and high-refractiveindex optics.Our work advanced functional polymer design and underscored the potential of selenium chemistry in addressing global challenges in terms of plastic waste and ecological sustainability.
文摘"iεepa"and"Oσia"are two core concepts in research related to religion,which also play important roles in social life.The traditional view is that the dichotomy between"iεepa"and"Oσia"is an important method of research related to religion and that the border between"iεepa"and"Oσia"is clear.However,through reassessing the relationship between"iεepa"and"Oσia"on a case study of the Parthenon inventory,this article will demonstrate that the relationship between"iεepa"and"Oσia"is not one of complete opposition,but that it is in fact a unity of opposites.This relationship is primarily reflected in the three aspects of the Parthenon inventory:invocation,treasurers system and treasures type,aspects which also highlight the Athenian propensity to blend the sacred and secular spheres.These reassessed views shed new light on polis life,especially as regards public finance.
