METHODS： A mouse model of FHF was established by intraperitoneal injection of galactosamine （D-Gal N） and lipopolysaccharide （LPS）. The survival rate, liver function, inflammatory factor and liver pathological change were obtained with and without SNMC treatment. Hepatoo/te survival was estimated by observing the stained mitochondria structure with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate fluorescence nick end labeling （TUNEL） method and antibodies against cytochrome C （Cyt-C） and caspase-3. RESULTS： The levels of plasma tumor necrosis factor alpha （TNF-α）, nitric oxide （NO）, ET-1, interleukin-6 （IL-6）, and the degree of hepatic tissue injury were decreased in the SNMC-treated groups compared with those in the model group （P 〈 0.01）. However, there were no differences after different dosages administered at different time points. There was a significant difference in survival rates between the SNMC-treated groups and the model group （P 〈 0.01）. The apoptosis index was 32.3% at 6 h after a low dose of SNMC, which was considerably decreased from 32.3% ± 4.7% vs 5% ± 2.83% （P 〈 0.05） to 5% on d 7. The expression of Cyt-C and caspase-3 decreased with the prolongation of therapeutic time. Typical hepatocyte apoptosis was obviously ameliorated under electron microscope with the prolongation of therapeutic time. CONCLUSION： SNMC can effectively protect liver against FHF induced by LPS/D-Gal N. SNMC can prevent hepatocyte apoptosis by inhibiting inflammatory reaction and stabilizing mitochondria membrane to suppress the release of Cyt-C and sequent activation of caspase-3.展开更多

The strength calculations reveal that the failure mode in P-carbon is dominated by the tensile type. The ideal tensile strength of P-carbon is calculated to be 76.T GPa in the [001] direction, which is higher than that of the previously known most stable Z-carbon, of 71.4 GPa. Meanwhile, the theoretical Vickers hardness of P-carbon is estimated as 89 GPa, which is comparable with that of diamond. Especially, two types of bonds in P-carbon with hardness values of 114 GPa and 105 GPa are significantly stronger than those of diamond. The results provide insight into exploration of the ultra-hard P-carbon for potentially technological applications.展开更多
