CircTRHDE knockdown protects WI-38 cells against LPS-induced inflammatory injury.

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to be involved in the progression of infantile pneumonia. Here, we investigated the function of circTRHDE in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cell inflammatory injury to evaluate its role in infantile pneumonia progression.

Methods: The circTRHDE, microRNA (miR)-381-3p and TNF-receptor associated factor 3 (TRAF3) expression were detected by quantitative real-time PCR.

Amino Acid Imprinted UiO-66s for Highly Recognized Adsorption of Small Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme-Inhibitory Peptides.

Introduction of targeted defects into microporous UiO-66s for manipulating their three-dimensional size and surface properties can endow them with adsorption and separation areas involving angiotensin-converting-enzyme-inhibitory (ACE-inhibitory) peptides. Three hydrophobic amino acids (AAs) (i.e.

Highly Advanced Degradation of Thiamethoxam by Synergistic Chemisorption-Catalysis Strategy Using MIL(Fe)/Fe-SPC Composites with Ultrasonic Irradiation.

MIL(Fe)/Fe-doped nanospongy porous biocarbon (Fe-SPC) composite was fabricated from MIL-100(Fe) via in situ growth on a unique Fe-doped nanospongy porous biocarbon (Fe-SPC) and was used as Fenton-like catalyst for advanced degradation of thiamethoxam (THIA). Fe was loaded on silkworm excrement and calcined to Fe-SPC with nanospongy and high sp C structure. The in situ growth strategy embedded the Fe-SPC into MIL-100(Fe) crystals and formed conductive heterojunctions with an intensified interface by Fe-bridging effect, which was confirmed by negative shift of Fe binding energy in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
