Design and Selection of High Energy Materials based on 4,8-Dihydrodifurazano[3,4-b,e]pyrazine

In order to search for high energy density materials,various 4,8-dihydrodifurazano[3,4-b,e]pyrazine based energetic materials were designed.Density functional theory was employed to investigate the relationships between the structures and properties.The calculated results indicated that the properties of these designed compounds were influenced by the energetic groups and heterocyclic substituents.The-N3 energetic group was found to be the most effective substituent to improve the heats of formation of the designed compounds while the tetrazole ring/-C(NO_(2))_(3) group contributed much to the values of detonation properties.The analysis of bond orders and bond dissociation energies showed that the addition of-NHNH2,-NHNO_(2),-CH(NO_(2))_(3) and-C(NO_(2))_(3) groups would decrease the bond dissociation energies remarkably.Compounds A8,B8,C8,D8,E8,and F8 were finally screened as the potential candidates for high energy density materials since these compounds possess excellent detonation properties and acceptable thermal stabilities.Additionally,the electronic structures of the screened compounds were calculated.

Resveratrol ameliorates diabetic myocardial injury through HSF1-mediated ferroptosis

Objective:To observe the effect of resveratrol on the injury of diabetic cardiomyocytes and its effect on HSF1 mediated iron death.Methods:the diabetic cardiomyopathy model was established by high glucose induced H9c2,and H9c2 was exposed to normal glucose concentration as a control.Then the intervention was performed with the corresponding drugs.The cell proliferation level was detected by CCK8 method,the concentrations of LDH,SOD,MDA and iron ions were detected by kit method,and the expression levels of HSF1,apoptotic proteins(Bax and Bcl-2)and iron death marker proteins(ACSL4,GPX4 and SLC7A11)were detected by Western blot;Results:compared with the blank group,the cell activity,SOD activity,the expression of HSF1,Bcl-2,GPX4 and SLC7A11 protein in the model group decreased significantly,and the LDH activity,MDA content,Bax and ACSL4 protein expression,Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and Fe^(2+)content increased significantly(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the activity of H9c2 cells,the activity of SOD,the expression of HSF1,Bcl-2,GPX4 and SLC7A11 protein increased significantly,and the activity of LDH,the content of MDA,the expression of Bax and ACSL4 protein,the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 and the content of Fe^(2+)decreased significantly in the resveratrol group(P<0.01).After the intervention,the activity of H9c2 cells,the activity of SOD,the expression of HSF1,Bcl-2,GPX4 and SLC7A11 protein decreased significantly,and the activity of LDH,the content of MDA,the expression of Bax and ACSL4 protein,the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 and the content of Fe^(2+)increased significantly in si-hsf1 group(P<0.01);Conclusion:resveratrol can inhibit cell iron death and improve high glucose induced cardiomyocyte injury by up regulating the expression of HSF1.

Mechanism of hesperidin improving myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in type 2 diabetic rats through SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway

Objective:To observe the protective effect of hesperidin on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in type 2 diabetes mellitus and its effect on SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.Methods:50 Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly assigned to the normal control group(NC),model group,ischemia-reperfusion group(IR),hesperidin group,SIRT1 inhibitor group and hesperidin plus SIRT1 inhibitor group.In addition to NC,the rats in the remaining groups were replicated by intraperitoneal of high-fat diet combined with injection of streptozotocin for type 2 diabetic rats.After then,the myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury(MIRI)rat model was established by LAd for 30 minutes with 2 hours reperfusion.He staining was used to observe the pathological changes of myocardial tissue,and the levels of serum LDH,CK-MB and SOD,GSH and MDA in myocardial tissue were detected by kit methods,and the expression abundance of related proteins in 4-HNE and SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot;Results:Hesperidin could significantly inhibit cardiomyocyte necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration,reduce LDH activity,CK-MB and MDA level,and increase SOD activity,GSH and 4-HNE level,the differences were statistically significant when compared with IR group(P<0.01).In addition,compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group,the expressions of SIRT1,Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins in hesperidin group were significantly up-regulated,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01);Conclusion:Hesperidin inhibits oxidative stress by activating SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway,and play a protective effect of myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in diabetic rats.

A novel photochromic fulgide based on porphyrin for nondestructive information processing

A fulgide connected to porphyrin （FUL-TPP） can transform its open isomer to closed isomer upon the irradiation with UV or visible light. Herein, they can be used to write binary data. Furthermore, the open form can emit luminescence but the closed cannot form while irradiated in another light that will not cause the optical chemical reaction. Therefore, the data can be read out without destruction.
