Article Synopsis
  • Endotoxemia can lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), coagulation issues, and acute lung injury (ALI), driven by activation of key blood and vascular cells.
  • The study investigated the role of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1) using a mouse model of endotoxemia induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), while also administering PSGL-1 antibodies.
  • Results indicated that blocking PSGL-1 reduced platelet and leukocyte activity, lessened inflammation, improved survival rates, and mitigated lung damage in the endotoxemic mice, highlighting PSGL-1's significant contribution to these conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • Clopidogrel is a medication that inhibits platelet activation and aggregation, which is important during inflammation and endotoxemia (a severe immune response).
  • The study investigated how clopidogrel affects inflammation in mice after inducing it with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), focusing on platelet and leukocyte activation and their interactions.
  • Results showed that clopidogrel reduced lung damage, platelet-neutrophil aggregates, and inflammatory markers, suggesting it effectively dampens platelet activation and overall inflammation in endotoxemic conditions.

The removal of C H and C H from C H streams is of great significance for feedstock purification to produce polyethylene and other commodity chemicals but the simultaneous adsorption of C H and C H over C H from a ternary mixture has never been realized. Herein, a robust metal-organic framework, TJT-100, was designed and synthesized, which demonstrates remarkably selective adsorption of C H and C H over C H . Breakthrough experiments show that TJT-100 can be used as an adsorbent for high-performance purification of C H from a ternary mixture of C H /C H /C H (0.
