Article Synopsis
- * Researchers developed high-flux nanofiltration membranes by incorporating these modified carbon nanotubes into polyamide thin-film composites, resulting in improved water permeability.
- * The optimized membrane exhibited a pure water permeability rate of 15.32 L m(-2) h(-1) bar(-1), which is significantly higher than traditional membranes, while also showing effective salt rejection for various multivalent cations, making it useful for water softening and heavy metal ion removal.
Restenosis is a major complication of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and is characterized by increased superoxide formation and accumulation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The mechanisms through which peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) modulates the pathological process are incompletely defined. In this study, balloon injury of porcine coronary arteries in vivo and cell scraping model in vitro were used to elucidate the pathway via this molecule.
