The Levels of TNF-, Tissue Factor, and Coagulation Function in Rats with Pulmonary Hypertension and the Intervention Effect of Sildenafil Encapsulated by Targeted Nanocarriers.

Pulmonary hypertension (PAH) is a proliferative disease of pulmonary blood vessels, but the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension is still unclear. This article explores the role of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-), tissue factor (TF), and coagulation function (CF) in the pathogenesis of PAH. PAH is often accompanied by vascular intima injury and muscular arterial media thickening.

Mo S Intercalated Layered Double Hydroxide: Highly Selective Removal of Heavy Metals and Simultaneous Reduction of Ag Ions to Metallic Ag Ribbons.

We demonstrate a new material by intercalating Mo S into Mg/Al layered double hydroxide (abbr. Mo S -LDH), exhibiting excellent capture capability for toxic Hg and noble metal silver (Ag). The as-prepared Mo S -LDH displays ultra-high selectivity of Ag , Hg and Cu in the presence of various competitive ions, with the order of Ag >Hg >Cu >Pb ≥Co , Ni , Zn , Cd .

Polypyrrole-MoS: An Efficient Sorbent for the Capture of Hg and Highly Selective Extraction of Ag over Cu.

The new material Polypyrrole-MoS ( MoS-Ppy) is a new material prepared by ion-exchange between Ppy-NO and (NH)MoS. The MoS-Ppy was designed to exhibit strong selectivity for Ag and highly toxic Hg in mixtures with other ions. It displays an apparent selectivity ranking of Hg > Ag ≥ Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb.

Enhanced luminescence of delaminated layered europium hydroxide (LEuH) composites with sensitizer anions of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid.

The organic compound of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (CCA), deprotonated beforehand by NaOH, and the 1-octane sulfonic acid anion (OS) were co-intercalated into the gallery of the layered europium hydroxide (LEuH) via an ion exchange method. Different molar ratios of CCA/OS and NaOH/CCA gave rise to the composites of CCAOS-LEuH (x = 0.8-1.

A unique delaminated MoS/OS-LEuH composite exhibiting turn-on luminescence sensing for detection of water in formamide.

We demonstrate a novel example of a delaminated MoS/OS-LEuH composite (LEuH is layered europium hydroxide, OS is 1-octane sulfonate), which exhibits quenched luminescence in formamide and highly enhanced red emission in the water-present case. The turn-on luminescence sensing capability of the material is promising for feasible detection of a trace amount of water in formamide (FM) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).
