This study explores the neuroprotective effects and mechanisms of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) in mice exposed to cadmium (Cd).NAC (150 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally administered Cd (10-50 mg/L) drinking water for 6 weeks. The changes cell damage death, reactive oxygen species (ROS), antioxidant enzymes, as well Akt/mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR) signalling pathway brain neurones were assessed. To verify role mTOR activation Cd-induced neurotoxicity, also received a subacute regimen (1...

Thermal emission is the process by which all objects at nonzero temperatures emit light and well described Planck, Kirchhoff, Stefan-Boltzmann laws. For most solids, thermally emitted power increases monotonically with temperature in a one-to-one relationship that enables applications such as infrared imaging noncontact thermometry. Here, we demonstrated ultrathin thermal emitters violate this via use of samarium nickel oxide (SmNiO3), strongly correlated quantum material undergoes fully...

J. Neurochem. (2011) 119 , 1108–1118. Abstract Cadmium (Cd), a toxic environmental contaminant, induces neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, we have shown that Cd elevates intracellular free calcium ion ([Ca 2+ ] i ) level, leading to neuronal apoptosis partly by activating mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPK) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways. However, the underlying mechanism remains be elucidated. In this study, show effects Cd‐elevated [Ca on MAPK mTOR network as...

In this study, a novel Hg0 adsorption strategy based on nonthermal plasma and porous carbon was proposed tested. The O2 NO in flue gas were used to activate with auxiliary plasma. significantly increased the functionalities surface, it has negligible effect textural properties of carbon. O2/NO co-doped remove elemental mercury (Hg0). sample functionalized by 4% 200 ppm (balanced N2) for 3 min exhibited superior ability, which could be assigned formation large amount C═O, C–NO, C–NO2. O2, NO,...

Bacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) cause high morbidity and mortality worldwide in humans, but the pathogenic spectrum varies from region to region. Long-term monitoring of changes bacterial antibiotic resistance is hugely important for effective clinical therapy infection control. This study examined data BSIs Tongji Hospital, one largest teaching hospitals China, an attempt gain better understanding focusing on central China. Data Hospital a 20-year period (1998–2017) were used...

Carbon nitride nanosheet (CNNS) is facilely synthesized via a two-step thermal oxidative etching approach and then decorated with MnO2 nanoparticles incipient wetness impregnation method for Hg0 removal at low temperature. Pristine CNNS exhibits good adsorption performance associated the optimal efficiency of ∼65.8% 150 °C due to its two-dimensional planar structure big surface area. decoration can greatly enhance CNNS, presumably ascribed improved electron transfer interface g-C3N4....

Graphite-phase carbon nitrides (g-C3N4), composed of only C, N, and some impurity H, have been synthesized by direct thermal polymerization urea in air employed to capture elemental mercury (Hg0) from simulated flue gas. The performance kinetic behavior g-C3N4 toward Hg0 adsorption are investigated. Its optimal temperature ramping rate 550 °C 5 K/min, respectively. It shows extraordinary affinity with associated an removal efficiency >77% at 40–240 under a nitrogen atmosphere, which is...

Oxygen vacancies enable modulating surface reconstruction of transition metal oxides containing metal–oxygen polyhedrons into metallic oxyhydroxide for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), while revealing reconstructing mechanism is stuck by the requirement to precisely control exact sites these vacancies. Herein, are localized only within MoO 4 tetrahedrons rather than CoO 6 octahedrons in CoMoO catalyst, guaranteeing coherent pure CoOOH with tunable activities OER. Meanwhile, distorted...
