Neuroprotective effects of tetramethylpyrazine on spinal cord injury-Related neuroinflammation mediated by P2X7R/NLRP3 interaction.

Objective: The inflammatory response is acknowledged as a crucial pathological aspect of spinal cord injury (SCI). Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) has been demonstrated to possess neuroprotective properties within the central nervous system via its anti-inflammatory mechanisms. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism by which TMP alleviates SCI from an anti-inflammatory standpoint.

Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Rate and Anti-interfacial Delamination Property of the SrCoTaO@LaSrCoFeO Oxygen-Electrode for Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells.

Interfacial delamination between the oxygen-electrode and electrolyte is a significant factor impacting the reliability of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) when operating at high voltages. The most effective method to mitigate this delamination is to decrease the interfacial oxygen partial pressure, which can be accomplished by amplifying the oxygen exsolution rate and the O transport rate of the oxygen-electrode. In this study, a SrCoTaO (SCT) film with an outstanding oxygen surface exchange coefficient and an outstanding O conductivity was introduced onto the LaSrCoFeO (LSCF) surface by infiltration.

Improved Insulation Properties of Polypropylenes in HVDC Cables Using Aqueous Suspension Grafting.

Owing to its lack of crosslinking, polypropylene (PP) is considered an environmentally friendly alternative to crosslinked polyethylene as high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cable insulation. However, pure PP can accumulate space charges under a HVDC, and thus must be modified for use as an insulating material for HVDC cables. In this study, 4-methylstyrene is grafted onto PP using an aqueous suspension grafting method to improve its properties.

Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase HIPK4 regulates phosphorylation of manchette protein RIMBP3 during spermiogenesis.

Nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) is the most serious form of spermatogenesis abnormalities in male infertility. Genetic factors are important to consider as elements leading to NOA. Although many pathogenic genes have been reported, the causative genes of NOA for many patients are still unknown.
