The results indicate that reduction rate of arsenic (V) decreases with increasing temperature and H2SO4 concentration, but increases with increasing SO2 flow rate and reaction time, and it can reach 92% under appropriate conditions that reaction temperature is 65 °C, H2SO4 concentration is 203 g/L, CuSO4 concentration is 80 g/L, reaction time is 2 h and SO2 gas flow rate is 200 mL/min. To remove arsenic in the copper electrolyte, arsenic (V) is reduced to trivalence under the appropriate conditions, the copper electrolyte is concentrated till H2SO4 concentration reaches 645 g/L, and then the removal rates of As, Cu, Sb and Bi reach 83.9%, 87.1%, 21.0% and 84.7%. The XRD analysis shows that crystallized product obtained contains As2O3 and CuSO4·5H2O.展开更多

Here, we report Co3O4 nanoparticles assembled on a polypyrrole/graphene oxide electrocatalyst (Co3O4/Ppy/GO) as an efficient catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media. The catalyst was prepared via the hydrothermal reaction of Co2+ ions with Ppy-modified GO. The GO, Ppy/GO, and Co3O4/Ppy/GO were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The incorporation of Ppy into GO nanosheets resulted in the formation of a nitrogen-modified GO po-rous structure, which acted as an efficient electron-transport network for the ORR. With further anchoring of Co3O4 on Ppy/GO, the as-prepared Co3O4/Ppy/GO exhibited excellent ORR activity and followed a four-electron route mechanism for the ORR in alkaline solution. An onset potential of -0.10 V vs. a saturated calomel electrode and a diffusion limiting current density of 2.30 mA/cm^2 were achieved for the Co3O4/Ppy/GO catalyst heated at 800 ℃; these values are comparable to those for noble-metal-based Pt/C catalysts. Our work demonstrates that Co3O4/Ppy/GO is highly active for the ORR. Notably, the Ppy coupling effects between Co3O4 and GO provide a new route for the preparation of efficient non-precious electrocatalysts with hierarchical porous structures for fuel cell applications.展开更多

[Method] Trimethoprim antigen was prepared through a series of reactions from trimethoprim hapten which was generated through the reaction between trimethoprim and maleic anhydride. And trimethoprim monoclonal antibodies were prepared by animal immune, and used to prepare ELISA kit to detect trimethoprim residues in water. Finally, the limit of detection (LED) of the ELISA kit was determined. [Result] The standard curve covered a concentration range of 0-80 μg/L. The LeD of trimethoprim in water using the ELISA kit was 2.34 μg/kg; the IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) was 4.8 μg/L; the recovery rate of added trimethoprim standard ranged from 60.5% to 79.7%; within-and among-batches RSD was less than 10%. The trimethoprim monoclonal antibody was specific, as the cross-reactivity rate of trimethoprim antibody and diaveridine was less than 1%. The stability tests revealed that the ELISA kit was stable after being stored at 4 ℃ for 12 months. [Conclusion] The results will provide references for controlling the abuse of trimethoprim.展开更多

Methods: APL cell line MR_2 resistant to all-transretin-oic acid (ATRA ) was put into research, while APL cell line NB_4 was used for control. Theim-munocytochemical assays were used to detect the expressions of P-glycoprotein (P_(gp)) andGluta-thione S-transferase ( GST) . Results: Not only the expression of P_(gp) in MR_2 cell line(30%-40%) was significantly higher than that in NB4 cell line (10%-20% ) (P < 0.001), but also theexpression of GST in MR_2 cell line (60. 4 +- 4.0 )-( 66.5 +- 4.4) was significantly higher thanthat in NB4 cell line (28.3 +- 5.6)-(31.2 +- 5. l)(P < 0.05). As_2O_3 at the concentration of0.5-2.0 μmol/l could significantly decrease the expression of P_(gp) and GSTπ, but could donothing about the expression of GSTα and GSTμ. Conclusion: The lower expression of P_(gp) andGSTπ might be the sensitive indications of frustrating drug-resistance, while GSTα and GSTμ mightnot be the case. ATRA might be the substrates of P_(gp) transmission and GSTπ catalysis .展开更多

Methods: Human Hepatocarcinoma cell line BEL-7402 being cultured in vitro, the effect of AT and (or) AA on its growth inhibition and its two intracellular signal molecules was evaluated separately using MTT and Western blot. Results: AT at a few μmol/L concentration could suppress abnormal proliferation of human hepatocarcinoma cells, and initiate their apoptosis by activation of caspase-3, and activate extracellular-signal regulated kinases (ERKs), which were dependent on the dosage of AT conspicuously. The effect of AA on BEL-7402 was not significant; However, AA could effectively enhance AT-induced hepatocarcinoma cell apoptosis and lesion severity through activation of caspase-3 but not ERKs. Conclusion: Caspase-3 and ERKs proteins could involve in arsenic-induced hepatocarcinoma cell apoptosis and differentiation respectively as intracellular signaling molecules; The effect between AT and AA on hepatocarcinoma is synergistic, which further inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in human hepatocarcinoma cells through activation of caspase-3 but not ERKs.展开更多

文摘[Objective] This study was conducted to find out an approach for determining trimethoprim residues in water. [Method] Trimethoprim antigen was prepared through a series of reactions from trimethoprim hapten which was generated through the reaction between trimethoprim and maleic anhydride. And trimethoprim monoclonal antibodies were prepared by animal immune, and used to prepare ELISA kit to detect trimethoprim residues in water. Finally, the limit of detection (LED) of the ELISA kit was determined. [Result] The standard curve covered a concentration range of 0-80 μg/L. The LeD of trimethoprim in water using the ELISA kit was 2.34 μg/kg; the IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) was 4.8 μg/L; the recovery rate of added trimethoprim standard ranged from 60.5% to 79.7%; within-and among-batches RSD was less than 10%. The trimethoprim monoclonal antibody was specific, as the cross-reactivity rate of trimethoprim antibody and diaveridine was less than 1%. The stability tests revealed that the ELISA kit was stable after being stored at 4 ℃ for 12 months. [Conclusion] The results will provide references for controlling the abuse of trimethoprim.

文摘Aim This study was to evaluate the effect of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on the transgenic TNF-α promoter activity in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and THP-1 monocytes. Methods Human TNF-α promoter was constructed by reporter gene system and was transiently transfected into VSMCs and THP-1 in vitro. The promoter activity was tested by luciferase activity with or without LPS and Ang Ⅱ stimulation, before and after different dosage of As2O3 treatment. Results 1. TNF-α promoter effectively expressed in VSMCs and THP-1 compared with CMV promoter (58.3% and 80.9%, respectively). Both LPS and Ang Ⅱ significantly up-regulated TNF-α promoter activity (P〈0.05). 2. As2O3 significantly inhibited, both intact and LPS/Ang Ⅱ stimulated promoter activity, in a dose dependent manner (P〈0.05), and in both cell type. Conclusion These results manifested that, the inhibition effect of As2O3 on the activity of human TNF-α promoter indicated its potential inhibition on pro-inflammatory cytokine genes expression at transcriptional level and its potential anti-inflammatory property in the cardiovascular system.
文摘Objective: To detect the action of arsenic trioxide (As_2O_3) on theexpression of Tumor drug-resistant molecule. Methods: APL cell line MR_2 resistant to all-transretin-oic acid (ATRA ) was put into research, while APL cell line NB_4 was used for control. Theim-munocytochemical assays were used to detect the expressions of P-glycoprotein (P_(gp)) andGluta-thione S-transferase ( GST) . Results: Not only the expression of P_(gp) in MR_2 cell line(30%-40%) was significantly higher than that in NB4 cell line (10%-20% ) (P < 0.001), but also theexpression of GST in MR_2 cell line (60. 4 +- 4.0 )-( 66.5 +- 4.4) was significantly higher thanthat in NB4 cell line (28.3 +- 5.6)-(31.2 +- 5. l)(P < 0.05). As_2O_3 at the concentration of0.5-2.0 μmol/l could significantly decrease the expression of P_(gp) and GSTπ, but could donothing about the expression of GSTα and GSTμ. Conclusion: The lower expression of P_(gp) andGSTπ might be the sensitive indications of frustrating drug-resistance, while GSTα and GSTμ mightnot be the case. ATRA might be the substrates of P_(gp) transmission and GSTπ catalysis .
文摘Objective: To study synergistic effect with Ascorbic acid(AA) on arsenic trioxide inducing human Hepatocarcinoma cell apoptosis, and provide theoretical basis for promoting human Hepatocarcinoma cell apoptosis induced by arsenic trioxide(AT). Methods: Human Hepatocarcinoma cell line BEL-7402 being cultured in vitro, the effect of AT and (or) AA on its growth inhibition and its two intracellular signal molecules was evaluated separately using MTT and Western blot. Results: AT at a few μmol/L concentration could suppress abnormal proliferation of human hepatocarcinoma cells, and initiate their apoptosis by activation of caspase-3, and activate extracellular-signal regulated kinases (ERKs), which were dependent on the dosage of AT conspicuously. The effect of AA on BEL-7402 was not significant; However, AA could effectively enhance AT-induced hepatocarcinoma cell apoptosis and lesion severity through activation of caspase-3 but not ERKs. Conclusion: Caspase-3 and ERKs proteins could involve in arsenic-induced hepatocarcinoma cell apoptosis and differentiation respectively as intracellular signaling molecules; The effect between AT and AA on hepatocarcinoma is synergistic, which further inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in human hepatocarcinoma cells through activation of caspase-3 but not ERKs.

文摘Electrochemical oxidation of aniline in aqueous solution was investigated over a novel Ti/TiOxHy/Sb-SnO2 electrode prepared by the electrodeposition method.Scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction,and electrochemical measurements were used to characterize its morphology,crystal structure,and electrochemical properties.Removal of aniline by the Ti/TiOxHy/Sb-SnO2electrode was investigated by ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy and chemical oxygen demand(COD)analysis under different conditions,including current densities,initial concentrations of aniline,pH values,concentrations of chloride ions,and types of reactor.It was found that a higher current density,a lower initial concentration of aniline,an acidic solution,the presence of chloride ions(0.2wt%NaCl),and a three-dimensional(3D) reactor promoted the removal efficiency of aniline.Electrochemical degradation of aniline followed pseudo-first-order kinetics.The aniline(200 mL of 100mg·L-(-1)) and COD removal efficiencies reached 100%and 73.5%,respectively,at a current density of 20 mA·cm-(-2),pH of 7.0,and supporting electrolyte of 0.5 wt%Na2SO4 after 2 h electrolysis in a 3D reactor.These results show that aniline can be significantly removed on the Ti/TiOxHy/Sb-SnO2electrode,which provides an efficient way for elimination of aniline from aqueous solution.
