The mice in model group were given ethanol(10%) in drinking water after injection of dibutyltin dichloride(DBTC)(8 mg/kg BW) in tail vein. The mice in control group were injected with only solvent into tail vein( 60 % ethanol, 20% glycerine and 20% normal saline) and drank common water. At days 1, 7, 14, 28, and 56 after application of DBTC or solvent, 10 mice in one group were killed at each time point respectively. Blood was obtained by inferior vena cava puncture. The activity of amylase, concentration of bilirubin and hyaluronic acid in serum were assayed. The pancreas was taken to observe the pancreatic morphology by HE staining, and to characterize the pancreatic fibrosis by Masson staining. The expression of F4/80, CD3 and fibronectin(FN) were assayed by immuno-histochemistry or Immunofluorescence technique. Collagen typeⅠ(COL1A1) in pancreas were detected by Western blot. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1(TIMP-1) m RNA in the pancreas was assessed by real time PCR.RESULTS: DBTC induced an acute edematous pancreatitis within 1 d. The dilated acini, scattered acinar cell necrosis, and inflammatory cells were found at day 7. Extensive infiltration with inflammatory cells following deposition of connective tissue was observed at day 14. At day 28, level of pancreatic fibrosis was aggravated. The pancreatic tissue was replaced by an extended interstitial fibrosis at the end of 2 mo. There was significant difference in the level of amylase, bilirubin and hyaluronic acid in serum between control group and model group(P < 0.05). The level of COL1A1 and FN in pancreas increased. The expression of MMP-1 m RNA in pancreas decreased, but TIMP-1 m RNA increased at model group.CONCLUSION: DBTC joint Ethanol drinkin展开更多

Prostate cancer is the third most common malignancy diagnosed worldwide and the most common malignant disease in men. Also, the incidence of prostate cancer varies between regions. So it’s important to have a proper understanding of all above points to prevent the further development and spread of cancer and improve the cure rate. Design: The paper begins by discussing what prostate cancer is, the risk factors, clinical manifestations, and the treatments for prostate cancer. It covers the clinical manifestations, pathology, screening (cancer biomarker Prostate Specific Antigen, Digital Rectal Examination—DRE, prostate biopsy, and imaging) and treatments for prostate cancer. The paper then delves into the main treatment methods for prostate cancer, including how Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) differs from normal prostate cancer after hormone suppression therapy. Additionally, it discusses the effectiveness of the recently introduced Radium-223 dichloride injection as a radiation-targeted therapy for treating CRPC that has metastasized to bones. This section covers the properties of radium-223 dichloride injection, its pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, absorption and volume of distribution, half-life, metabolism, route of elimination, clearance, toxicity, adverse effects, and mechanism of action at the tumor site. It also discusses preclinical studies related to radium-223 dichloride injection and its effectiveness in treating CRPC patients with bone metastasis. Conclusion: Prostate cancer is a common cancer that can be treated with surgery or hormonal therapy. However, if the cancer progresses despite hormonal therapy, Radium-223 dichloride injection ca展开更多

It is significant to study the physical and dissociation properties under external electric fields. The bond length, energy, dipole moment, orbital energy level distribution, infrared spectra and dissociation properties of disulfur dichloride molecule under different external fields are obtained by using the density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p) basis set level. In addition, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra of the molecule in different electric fields are studied with configuration interaction-single excitation(CIS)/6-311++G(d, p) method. According to the results, it has been found that as the electric field exerted along the positive direction of the z-axis increases, the two sulfur-chlorine(S-Cl) bond lengths become longer and tend to break, while the sulfur-sulfur(S-S) bond length becomes shorter and the energy gap decreases. The infrared spectrum and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra both exhibit red shift under electric field. Moreover, by scanning the potential energy surface of disulfur dichloride about S-Cl bond, the dissociation barrier decreases with the increase of positive electric field. When the external electric field arrives at 0.040 atomic units, the barrier disappears, meaning the dissociation of disulfur dichloride. The present results offer an important reference to further study of disulfur dichloride.展开更多

The thickness of the thin sample on HOPG was checked by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The orientation of the molecules in respect to the substrate plane was investigated by measuring the silicon K-edge near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). In the NEXAFS spectra of the thin sample, two clear peaks which were assigned to Is → σ^*Si-N and 1s→ σ^*Si-Cl appeared around 1847.2 eV and 1843.1 eV respectively. The intensities of the resonance peaks showed strong polarization dependence. A quantitative analysis of the polarization dependence revealed that the Si-N bond tended to lie down while the Si-Cl bond was out of the molecular plane.展开更多

文摘Crosslinking treatments for a commercially available aromatic polyamide reverse osmosis membrane were carried out to improve its chlorine resistance.The crosslinking agents including 1,6-hexanediol diglycidyl ether,adipoyl dichloride and hexamethylene diisocyanate ester with long flexible aliphatic chains and high reactivity with N-H groups were used in the experiments.Attenuated total reflective Fourier transform infrared spectra verified the successful preparation of highly crosslinked membranes by crosslinking treatments.It was suggested that the crosslinking agents were connected to membrane surface through the reactions with amine and amide Ⅱ groups,which is confirmed by surface charge measurements.Based on contact angle measurements,crosslinking treatments decreased membrane hydrophilicity by introducing methylene groups to membrane surface.With increasing amount of crosslinking agent molecules connected to membrane surface,the hydrolysis of unconnected functional groups of crosslinking agent produced polar groups and increased membrane hydrophilicity.The highly crosslinked membranes showed higher salt rejections and lower water fluxes as compared with the raw membrane.Since the active sites(N-H groups) vulnerable to free chlorine on membrane surface were eliminated by crosslinking treatments,the chlorine resistances of the highly crosslinked membranes were significantly improved by slighter changes in both water fluxes and salt rejections after chlorination.
文摘Dialkyl-substituted terminal olefins were synthesized from the coupling reaction of a-olefins which were catalyzed by zirconocene dichloride/methylalumoxane (MAO) catalyst system under mild condition. High yield was gained and no other oligmer was detected. It was found that the ratio of AI/Zr is responsible for the selectivity of product.

文摘Thin silicon phthalocyanine dichloride films on HOPG were prepared and the sample was heated in the vacuum with laser. The thickness of the thin sample on HOPG was checked by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The orientation of the molecules in respect to the substrate plane was investigated by measuring the silicon K-edge near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). In the NEXAFS spectra of the thin sample, two clear peaks which were assigned to Is → σ^*Si-N and 1s→ σ^*Si-Cl appeared around 1847.2 eV and 1843.1 eV respectively. The intensities of the resonance peaks showed strong polarization dependence. A quantitative analysis of the polarization dependence revealed that the Si-N bond tended to lie down while the Si-Cl bond was out of the molecular plane.

Nano Titanium (IV) Oxide, supported on Clinoptilolite (CP) (Iranian natural zeolite) using solid-state dispersion (SSD) method for improvement of its photocatalytic properties. The results show that the TiO2/Clinoptilolite (SSD) is an active photocatalyst. The effects of five important photocatalytic reaction parameters including the initial concentration of ethylene dichloride, the ratio of TiO2/Clinoptilolite, the catalyst concentration, H2O2 concentration and pH in photodegradation of ethylene dichloride were examined. In this experiments, the design and also the optimum parameters were obtained by Taguchi Method, using Design Expert8®software. Taguchi's L27 (5^3) orthogonal array design was employed for the experimental plan. Four parameters were found to be significant whereas, pH was found to be an insignificant parameter after conducting experiments. A first order reaction with K = 0.007 min-1 was observed for the photocatalytic degradation reaction.

文摘Copper was found to be able to promote the SnCl2-mediated carbonyl allylation reactions in water, giving the corresponding homoallylic alcohol products in very high yields. Detailed studies showed that the reaction could be applied to a variety of carbonyl compounds including those with hydroxyl, amino and nitro groups. It was also found that this reaction showed good regioselectivities for some substrates. Furthermore, carefully controled ex-periments and in situ NMR measurements provided important insights into the mechanism of the newly developed reaction.
