A series of adsorption/oxidation bifunctional material with different Fe(II) loading amounts was prepared by using ultrahigh crosslinking adsorption resin (LXQ-10) as a carrier and FeCl as an impregnating solution. The bifunctional material was characterized by BET, SEM, XRD, XPS, and EPR. The effects of Fe loading, reaction temperature, and space velocity on benzene adsorption efficiency were investigated using self-made experimental equipment to explore the optimal reaction condition.

Article Synopsis
  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a serious medical issue with high mortality rates, but its progression and regression mechanisms remain unclear.
  • Researchers created an experimental model by inducing AAA in mice and monitored changes in diameter, volume, and aortic tissue over time using various staining techniques.
  • Results indicated that while AAA expands initially, it later regresses, and the endogenous upregulation of lysyl oxidase (LOX) is crucial for this regression, suggesting LOX could be a target for future AAA treatments.*
