Discovery of novel BRD4-BD2 inhibitors via in silico approaches: QSAR techniques, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations.

Bromodomain-containing protein 4(BRD4) plays an important role in the occurrence and development of various malignant tumors, which has attracted the attention of scientific research institutions and pharmaceutical companies. The structural modification of most currently available BRD4 inhibitors is relatively simple, but the drug effectiveness is limited. Research has found that the inhibition of BD1 may promote the differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cell; however, the inhibition of BD2 will not cause this outcome.

[Preparation of Iron-Aluminum Modified Diatomite and Its Immobilization in Cadmium-Polluted Soil].

To improve the in-situ immobilization effect of diatomite on cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soil, diatomite was modified by hydroxyl iron-aluminum (Fe-Al). The soil incubation experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of Fe/Al molar ratio, OH/cation of molar ratio, pillaring agent aging time, (Fe+Al)/diatomite ratio, pillaring temperature, and pillaring product aging time on the immobilization of Cd in soils. The changes in properties of diatomite before and after modification were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Application of TiO2-organobentonite modified by cetyltrimethylammonium chloride photocatalyst and polyaluminum chloride coagulant for pretreatment of aging landfill leachate.

This study investigated the treatment performance for aging leachate containing refractory organic pollutants by TiO2-organobentonite photocatalyst combined with polyaluminum chloride (PAC) coagulant. TiO2 was immobilized on organobentonite granules as a supporter modified by cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC). The prepared catalysts were characterized by ESEM, FTIR, and XRD analysis, which showed that TiO2-organobentonite catalyst had uniform coating of TiO2 on support.

Combination of cathodic reduction with adsorption for accelerated removal of Cr(VI) through reticulated vitreous carbon electrodes modified with sulfuric acid-glycine co-doped polyaniline.

Improving the reduction kinetics is crucial in the electroreduction process of Cr(VI). In this study, we developed a novel adsorption-electroreduction system for accelerated removal of Cr(VI) by employing reticulated vitreous carbon electrode modified with sulfuric acid-glycine co-doped polyaniline (RVC/PANI-SA-GLY). Firstly, response surface methodology confirmed the optimum polymerization condition of co-doped polyaniline for modifying electrodes (Aniline, sulfuric acid and glycine, respectively, of 0.

A novel approach for improving the drying behavior of sludge by the appropriate foaming pretreatment.

Foaming pretreatment has long been recognized to promote drying materials with sticky and viscous behaviors. A novel approach, CaO addition followed by appropriate mechanical whipping, was employed for the foaming of dewatered sludge at a moisture content of 80-85%. In the convective drying, the foamed sludge at 0.
