The degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was studied under different H202/O3 molar ratio and pH value. Meanwhile, TOC removal was investigated both in distilled water and tap water. The influences of ozone transfer and consumed hydrogen peroxide were also discussed. The degradation products and oxidation intermediates were identified by GC-MS and LC-MS. A possible reaction mechanism was thus proposed.

Selective removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid from water by molecularly-imprinted amino-functionalized silica gel sorbent

A molecularly-imprinted amino-functionalized sorbent for selective removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid （2,4-D） was prepared by a surface imprinting technique in combination with a sol-gel process. The 2,4-D-imprinted amino-functionalized silica sorbent was characterized by FT-IR, nitrogen adsorption and static adsorption experiments. The selectivity of the sorbent was investigated by a batch competitive binding experiment using an aqueous 2,4-D and 2,4-dichlorophenol （2,4-DCP） mixture or using an aqueous 2,4-D and 2,4- dichlorophenylacetic acid （DPAC） mixture. The largest selectivity coefficient for 2,4-D in the presence of 2,4-DCP was found to be over 18, the largest relative selectivity coefficient between 2,4-D and 2,4-DCP over 9. The static uptake capacity and selectivity coefficient of the 2,4-D-imprinted functionalized sorbent are higher than those of the non-imprinted sorbent. The imprinted functionalized silica gel sorbent offered a fast kinetics for the extraction/stripping of 2,4-D, 73% of binding capacity （200 mg/L 2,4-D onto 20 mg of imprinted sorbent） was obtained within 5 min and the adsorbed 2,4-D can be easily stripped by the mixture solution of ethanol and 6 mol/L HC1 （V：V =1：1）. In a test of five extraction/stripping cycles, the adsorption capacity of the sorbent was all above 93% of that of the fresh sorbent. Experimental result showed the potential of molecularly-imprinted amino-functionalized sorbent for selective removal of 2,4-D.

Synthesis,Structural,Spectroscopic Characterization and Biological Properties of the Zn(Ⅱ),Cu(Ⅱ),Ni(Ⅱ),Co(Ⅱ),and Mn(Ⅱ)Complexes With the Widely Used Herbicide 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D)is a board-leaf selective herbicide and globally used in agricultural activities.Complexation mode,spectroscopic investigations and biological properties of complexes formed between 2,4-D(C_(6)H_(3)Cl_(2)OCH_(2)·COOH;HL)with Zn(Ⅱ),Cu(Ⅱ),Ni(Ⅱ),Co(Ⅱ),and Mn(Ⅱ)metal ions were investigated.To characterize the binding mode between 2,4-D and the metal ions,many physicochemical approaches were employed.The complexes obtained are characterized quantitatively and qualitatively by using micro elemental analysis,FTIR spectroscopy,UV-Vis spectroscopy,1H-NMR,and magnetic susceptibility measurements.Results of these approaches suggested that the gross formula of the complexes obtained with the metal ions were[ZnL_(2)](2H_(2)O(1),[CuL_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)](2),[NiL_(2)](3H_(2)O(3),[CoL_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)](4),and[MnL_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)](5).In all complexes,two L-anion were coordinated the metal ion by their bidentate carboxylate groups.From the spectral study,all the complexes obtained as monomeric structure and the metals center moieties are six-coordinated with octahedral geometry except Ni(Ⅱ)and Zn(Ⅱ)complexes which existed as a tetrahedral and square pyramidal geometry respectively.The complexes were screened in vitro against several microbes(fungi and bacteria)using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method,and data has demonstrated that complex 3 showed excellent antifungal activity.

Protective Effect of <i>Lepedium sativum</i>against 2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Hepatotoxicity: An Electron Microscopic Study

Medicinal plants have been used to treat many diseases with fewer side effects compared to clinical medicines. The need for treatment by medicinal plants has been increasing in response to the accumulation of environmental pollutants. The herbicide 2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid has been considered as fast spreadable environmental pollutant, which may cause many disorders in animals and possibly in humans. The aim of this study is to assess the protective and/or curative effect of Lepidium sativum against hepatotoxicity induced by 2, 4-D herbicide in rats. 25 Albino Wistar rats were grouped into 4 groups: a control group, the curative group treated for 4 weeks with LS water extract after a single dose 2, 4-D LD50 administration, protective group which was treated for 4 weeks with LS water extract prior to the 2, 4-D LD50 administration, and LS only group that was given the LS water extract as a positive control. Using transmission electron microscope, the histological features showed that curative group hepatocytes still suffered from focal necrosis and vacuolation of hepatocytes as a result of 2, 4-D toxic effect whereas in the protective group hepatocytes were less accentuated expressed as less frequent necrotic area, and still large mitochondria were present with numerous undissolved lipid droplets and a small amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum. For the LS only group, nearly normal cells with centric nucleus, normal small mitochondria were at a normal nucleus-cytoplasmic ratio, but a few lipid droplets were noticed. This study proved that curative group has an advantage over the protective group that could be presented in the nucleus with narrow nuclear pores and intact nuclear envelope with dense small mitochondria and normal rough endoplasmic reticulum that were recorded as in the control group. Thus, Lepidium sativum administration to the rats prior or post to intoxication was effective in minimizing the 2, 4-D-induced damages likely through a free radical scavenging activity in liver tissue.

Design of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Imprinted Polymer with High Specificity and Selectivity

A widely used herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was imprinted on poly (4-vinylpyridine) (4-VP) using (40%) ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as crosslinking agent. The classical imprinting technology makes use of a high degree of crosslinking which does not allow the template molecules to move freely. So the binding sites, located in the central area of the three dimensional polymer matrix are hard to be accessed and the template molecules cannot be extracted totally. But here we propose a low crosslinked system with high specificity and selectivity. The imprinted and non-imprinted polymers were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The extent of binding was followed by batch equilibration method and compared with the respective non-imprinted polymer. Conditions for maximum specific rebinding were set by altering certain factors like template/monomer ratio, concentration of template solution, rebinding medium, mass of polymer and time of incubation. The selectivity of the imprinted polymer was investigated by comparing the binding with structural analogues of 2,4-D like, phenoxyacetic acid (POA), 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPOA) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). The imprinted polymer exhibited high affinity towards the template molecule and was selectively rebound to the specific sites. The binding towards the structural analogues depends on the number of chlorine in the benzene ring.

Insight into the mode of action of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D) as an herbicide

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid （2,4-D） was the first synthetic herbicide to be commercially developed and has commonly been used as a broadleaf herbicide for over 60 years. It is a selective herbicide that kills dicots without affecting monocots and mimics natural auxin at the molecular level. Physiological responses of dicots sensitive to auxinic herbicides include abnormal growth, senescence,and plant death. The identification of auxin receptors, auxin transport carriers, transcription factors response to auxin, and cross-talk among phytohormones have shed light on the molecular action mode of 2,4-D as a herbicide. Here, the molecular action mode of 2,4-D is highlighted according to the latest findings, emphasizing the physiological process, perception, and signal transduction under herbicide treatment.

A pulsed switching peroxi-coagulation process to control hydroxyl radical production and to enhance 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid degradation

The aim of this study was to develop a new pulsed switching peroxi-coagulation system to control hydroxyl radical(∙OH)production and to enhance 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D)degradation.The system was constructed with a sacrifice iron anode,a Pt anode,and a gas diffusion cathode.Production of H_(2)O_(2) and Fe^(2+)was controlled separately by time delayers with different pulsed switching frequencies.Under current densities of 5.0 mA/cm^(2)(H_(2)O_(2))and 0.5 mA/cm^(2)(Fe^(2+)),the∙OH production was optimized with the pulsed switching frequency of 1.0 s(H_(2)O_(2)):0.3 s(Fe^(2+))and the ratio of H_(2)O_(2) to Fe^(2+)molar concentrations of 6.6.Under the optimal condition,2,4-D with an initial concentration of 500 mg/L was completely removed in the system within 240 min.The energy consumption for the 2,4-D removal in the system was much lower than that in the electro-Fenton process(686 vs.13610 kWh/kg TOC).The iron consumption in the system was~20 times as low as that in the peroxi-coagulation process(19620 vs.3940400 mg/L)within 240 min.The system should be a promising peroxi-coagulation method for organic pollutants removal in wastewater.

[Objectives]To explore the effects of chlorogenic acid from honeysuckle on the secretion enzymes,lipoxygenase A4(LXA4),and blood biochemical indicators in mice with aluminum induced Alzheimer's disease(AD).[Methods]Chlorogenic acid was extracted from hon-eysuckle by ultrasound assisted alcohol extraction method.Seventy mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group,and low,me-dium and high dose groups of honeysuckle chlorogenic acid.All the mice in each group except for the normal group were given maltol aluminum by intraperitoneal injection to establish models of aluminum induced AD,continuously injected for 5 d and stopped for 2 d,totally poisoned for 8 weeks.Starting from the 5^(th) week of poisoning,the low,medium and high dose groups of honeysuckle chlorogenic acid were given honeysuck-le chlorogenc acid solution 40,80 and 160 mg/kg by gavage,respectively,while the normal group and the model group were fed with an equal volume of distilled water,all once daily,continuously gavaged until the end of the 8^(th) week.At the end of the experiment,the learning memory ability of the mice was tested by Y-type waler maze,and the number of tests required to reach the learning standard,the number of memory er-rors in 20 tests and the error rate of the mice were recorded.The brains of mice were taken to determine the contents of β-secretase,α-secre-tase,γ-secretase,LXA4 and acetylcholinesterase(AchE)in the homogenates of brain tissues by ELISA,and their blood was taken to deter-mine the biochemical indexes.[Results]Compared with the normal group,the number of learning tests,number of memory errors,error rate and the contents of β-secretase,γ-secretase and AchE in brain tissue of the mice in the model group were all significantly increased(all P<0.05),the contents of LXA4 in brain tissue were significantly decreased(all P<0.05),and the contents of α-secretase did not change significantly(all P>0.05);compared with the model group,the number of learning tests,the number of memory errors,the error rate and the content of β-secretase,γ-secretase and AchE in brain tissue were all significantly reduced(all P<0.05),the content of LXA4 in brain tissue of the high dose group of honeysuckle chlorogenic acid was significantly increased(P<0.05),and there was no significant change in the content of α-secretase in brain tissue of all groups of honeysuckle chlorogenic acid(all P>0.05).Compared with the normal group,the levels of blood glucose,TC,TG,ALT,BUN,Cr and UA in the model group and the levels of TC,TG and BUN in the low-and medium-dose groups of honeysuckle chlorogenic acid were significantly increased(all P<0.05),and the level of HDL-C in the model group and the levels of UA in the medium-and high-dose groups of honeysuckle chlorogenic acid were significantly decreased(all P<0.05);compared with the model group,the levels of blood glucose,ALT,BUN,UA in each group of honeysuckle chlorogenic acid,the levels of TC and Cr in medium and high dose groups of honeysuckle chlorogenic acid,and the level of TG in the high dose group of honeysuckle chlorogenic acid were all signifi-cantly lower(all P<0.05),while the level of HDL-C in the medium and high dose groups of honeysuckle chlorogenic acid and the level of to-tal protein in the high dose group of honeysuckle chlorogenic acid were all significantly higher(all P<0.05).[Conclusions]Chlorogenic acid from honeysuckle may improve AD induced by aluminum exposure via regulating related secretory enzymes,LXA4,and various biochemi-cal indicators.

Importance of V^(4)and optimal acid environment in the hydroxylation of inert benzene via activation of C_(sp2)-H bond

Hydroxylation of inert benzene through the activation of the C_(sp2)-H bond is a representative reaction about the transformation of C-H bonds to C-O bonds,which has far-reaching guiding significance but remains a challenging scientific problem.To overcome this problem,a series of VOx-Ga_(2)O_(3)/SiO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)were prepared to achieve an efficient and economical hydroxylation path of benzene to phenol.The results showed that the phenol yield was 72.89%(selectivity>98.1%)under the optimum conditions.The reason is that the C-H bond in the benzene ring is activated by heterolysis over a VOx-Ga_(2)O_(3)/SiO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)catalyst.Meanwhile,the introduction of aluminum(Al)and gallium(Ga)made a qualitative change in the catalyst,enhancing the electron motion and spin motion of vanadium species,resulting in the increase of V4^(+)/V5^(+)ratio.In addition,the catalyst can provide an optimal acidic environment and a threedimensional cross-linked surface structure that facilitates product diffusion.

新标09CrCuSb耐酸钢的耐50%H_(2)SO_(4)腐蚀性能

通过电化学测试和全浸腐蚀试验,研究了不同温度(25,50,60,70℃)条件下新标09CrCuSb耐酸钢在50%H_(2)SO_(4)溶液中的腐蚀行为。结果表明:随着温度从25℃升至70℃,新标09CrCuSb钢的腐蚀速率整体呈现增大趋势,在70℃时,腐蚀速率达到最高,为2.70 g/(m^(2)·h),这与随温度升高,腐蚀产物中具有保护性作用的Fe_(3)O_(4)含量减少,无保护作用的FeSO_(4)·H_(2)O含量增加以及锈层中微孔变化有关。另外,由于新标调整了09CrCuSb钢中Cu、Mo、Sn、Sb、W等元素的含量,与旧标09CrCuSb钢相比,阳极维钝电流密度J维钝降低,同等温度条件下,新标09CrCuSb钢的耐蚀性得到较大改善。

目的探讨血清胎球蛋白A、脂肪酸结合蛋白4(FABP4)和微小RNA-31(miR-31)与妊娠期糖尿病(GDM)的关系及对妊娠结局的预测价值。方法选取新疆维吾尔自治区人民医院2022年1月至2023年3月收治的GDM患者120例作为观察组,同时选取健康孕妇120例作为对照组。检测2组血清胎球蛋白A、FABP4、miR-31水平,分析不同临床特征患者胎球蛋白A、FABP4、miR-31水平及其与胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR)相关性,以及预测不良妊娠结局的价值。结果观察组血清胎球蛋白A、FABP4、miR-31水平均高于对照组[(40±10)μg/L比(30±7)μg/L、(27.1±3.6)mg/L比(15.6±2.9)mg/L、(2.03±0.41)比(1.00±0.26)](均P<0.001)。观察组HOMA-IR≥5、发生不良妊娠结局患者胎球蛋白A、FABP4、miR-31水平均分别高于HOMA-IR<5、未发生不良妊娠结局患者(均P<0.05)。观察组患者血清胎球蛋白A、FABP4、miR-31均与HOMA-IR呈正相关(均P<0.001)。血清胎球蛋白A、FABP4、miR-31预测不良妊娠结局的受试者工作特征曲线下面积分别为0.733、0.831和0.824。结论GDM患者血清胎球蛋白A、FABP4、miR-31水平升高,与HOMA-IR呈正相关,在预测不良妊娠结局方面有一定应用价值。

4-苯基丁酸通过核转录因子-κB通路减轻滋养细胞内质网应激

目的探讨4-苯基丁酸(4-PBA)减轻内质网应激的信号通路。方法采用永生化的滋养细胞株HTR-8/Svneo为研究对象,建立内质网应激模型,加入4-苯基丁酸进行培养后,采用蛋白免疫印迹法比较质网应激特异性分子GRP78、蛋白激酶R样内质网激酶(PERK)、C/EBP同源蛋白(CHOP)的表达。同样的方法检测核转录因子(NF)-κB,caspase-3,B淋巴细胞瘤-2基因(Bcl-2)的表达。结果随着4-PBA浓度增加,内质网应激特征蛋白的表达量下降,各不同浓度之间表达量相比较,差异具有统计学意义。培养基中加入不同浓度的4-PBA进行培养后检测NF-κB的表达量随着4-PBA浓度的增加,NF-κB的表达量下降,差异具有统计学意义。结论4-苯基丁酸通过NF-κB通路减轻滋养细胞内质网应激。
