The Acid Roles of PtSn@AlO in the Synthesis and Performance of Propane Dehydrogenation.

In this study, a PtSn/AlO catalyst with bimetallic uniform distribution in the sphere was synthesized. The PDH performance and characterization analyses, such as with FTIR, XPS, and NH-TPD, were investigated. The effects of acid on the PDH performance were analyzed.

LIPH contributes to glycolytic phenotype in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by activating LPA/LPAR axis and maintaining ALDOA stability.

Background: LIPH, a membrane-associated phosphatidic acid-selective phospholipase A1a, can produce LPA (Lysophosphatidic acid) from PA (Phosphatidic acid) on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. It is well known that LIPH dysfunction contributes to lipid metabolism disorder. Previous study shows that LIPH was found to be a potential gene related to poor prognosis with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Reaction Mechanism for the Removal of NO by Wet Scrubbing Using Urea Solution: Determination of Main and Side Reaction Paths.

Secondary problems, such as the occurrence of side reactions and the accumulation of by-products, are a major challenge in the application of wet denitrification technology through urea solution. We revealed the formation mechanism of urea nitrate and clarified the main and side reaction paths and key intermediates of denitrification. Urea nitrate would be separated from urea absorption solution only when the concentration product of [urea], [H] and [NO] was greater than 0.

Synergistic Promotion Effect between NO and Chlorobenzene Removal on MnO -CeO Catalyst.

Developing new technologies for the simultaneous removal of NO and dioxins from metallurgical facility and waste incinerator emissions remains challenging. Here, we present a new synergistic improvement effects of NO and chlorobenzene (CB) on the MnO -CeO catalyst. CB promoted both the NO conversion and N selectivity below 300 °C during the NO reduction process, in which the MnO -CeO catalyst caused the undesired side reactions due to the over-oxidation of NH.

Spatiotemporal expression of MYD88 gene in pigs from birth to adulthood.

MYD88 plays an important role in the immune response against infections. To analyze MYD88 gene expression during different stages of pig development, we used real-time PCR. MYD88 was seen expressed in all tissues examined.

New insights into the codon usage patterns of the bactericidal/permeability-increasing (BPI) gene across nine species.

Bactericidal/permeability-increasing (BPI) protein is a member of a new generation of proteins known as super-antibiotics that are implicated as endotoxin neutralising agents. Non-uniform usage of synonymous codons for a specific amino acid during translation of a protein is known as codon usage bias (CUB). Analysis of CUB and compositional dynamics of coding sequences could contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanism and the evolution of a particular gene.
