Underwater optical instruments are commonly plagued by biofouling. As one of the most useful antifoulingstrategies, electrochemical chlorination is able to prevent biofouling efficiently, but the limited activityand selectivity in chlorine evolution reaction (CER) restrict its practical applications. To address thisproblem, we focus on the optimization of CER performance of cobalt-based catalysts. In this work, weprepared Co(OH)2 with different forms, morphologies, and intercalations. By adopting linear sweepvoltammetry and electrochemical active surface area analysis, it is demonstrated that the a-Co(OH)2exhibits better CER performance than b-Co(OH)2 does, and the manipulation of a-Co(OH)2 morphologycan help to further enhance CER performance. Meanwhile, the intercalation of a-Co(OH)2 plays a minorrole in the CER. Furthermore, based on the screened synthetic condition, the optimized a-Co(OH)2 wasapplied for practical antifouling examination, and its excellent antifouling ability was verified by theinvestigation on bacteria attachment and glass transmittance. The findings in this work not only enrichour understanding on the effects of synthetic conditions on CER performance of cobalt-based catalysts,but also provide useful insights into the development of electrochemical antifouling strategies.

The high-entropy alloy particles reinforced 6061Al composite was prepared by cold spray (CS) and then modified by frictionstir processing (FSP). The microstructure evolutions, corrosion, and wear behaviors of the composites were investigated. Results showed that numerous micro-pores and cracks were distributed in the Al matrix due to adiabatic shear instability andinsufficient deformation of the deposited particles for CSed samples. The average size of uniformly distributed HEA particleswas ~ 24 μm, and the geometric necessary dislocation (GND) density reached 17.1 × 1015m−2 due to large plastic deformationduring CS. Comparatively, the micro-pores and cracks were eliminated, and many fragmented HEA particles dispersed inthe Al matrix with an average size of ~ 4 μm for FSPed sample. Note that the GND density reduced to 9.8 × 1015m−2 due todynamic recrystallization during FSP. The formation rate of the oxide film was gradually greater than that of the dissolutionrate with the samples immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution from 12 to 36 h, and the main corrosion mechanism was particledissolution around micro-pores and pitting for CSed and FSPed samples, respectively. In the polarization process, the FSPedsamples exhibited low corrosion tendency and high corrosion rate due to the dense and uniform microstructure, low GNDdensity, and dispersed HEA particles. The FSPed samples had better wear resistance than the CSed samples at 25 °C and200 °C. The dominant wear mechanisms of CSed and FSPed samples were abrasion at 25 °C, while the wear mechanismsof these samples were adhesion accompanied by abrasion at 200 °C.

High-yield pulp (HYP) is gaining increasing interest in papermaking, the presence of anionic trash hasbeen limiting its application in high-end paper products such as fine papers. In order to control the anionictrash ofHYP, the performances of three anionic trash catchers in terms of charge controland fiber fines andfiller retention enhancement were compared in a laboratory study. It was found that a poly-DADMACbased commercial product had the highest efficiency. The use of CPAM/Bentonite system resulted inhighest fiber fines and filler retention. The best anionic trash controlwas achieved when HYPwas treatedseparately.

Consensus Recommendations for Optimal Augmentation of the Asian Face with Hyaluronic Acid and Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers

Rho, Nark-Kyoung,Chang, Yao-Yuan,Chao, Yates Yen-Yu,Furuyama, Nobutaka,Huang, Peter Y. C.,Kerscher, Martina,Kim, Hee-Jin,Park, Je-Young,Peng, Hsien Li Peter,Rummaneethorn, Paisal,Rzany, Berthold,Sunda American Society of Plastic Surgeons 2015 Plastic and reconstructive surgery Vol.136 No.5

BACKGROUND:: Although the use of filling agents for soft-tissue augmentation has increased worldwide, most consensus statements do not distinguish between ethnic populations. There are, however, significant differences between Caucasian and Asian faces, reflecting not only cultural disparities, but also distinctive treatment goals. Unlike aesthetic patients in the West, who usually seek to improve the signs of aging, Asian patients are younger and request a broader range of indications. METHODS:: Members of the Asia-Pacific Consensus group—comprising specialists from the fields of dermatology, plastic surgery, anatomy, and clinical epidemiology—convened to develop consensus recommendations for Asians based on their own experience using cohesive polydensified matrix, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers. RESULTS:: The Asian face demonstrates differences in facial structure and cosmetic ideals. Improving the forward projection of the “T zone” (i.e., forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin) forms the basis of a safe and effective panfacial approach to the Asian face. Successful augmentation may be achieved with both (1) high- and low-viscosity cohesive polydensified matrix/hyaluronic acid and (2) calcium hydroxylapatite for most indications, although some constraints apply. CONCLUSION:: The Asia-Pacific Consensus recommendations are the first developed specifically for the use of fillers in Asian populations. CLINCIAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:: Therapeutic, V.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to ameliorate the deleterious effects of bleomycin. However, the mechanism responsible for protection of stem cell therapy in pulmonary fibrosis is still poorly understood, especially in terms of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. We hypothesized that ER stress could increase after a certain time elapse and then decrease to the baseline, resembling the fibrosis after bleomycin exposure. We also attempted to clarify the exact role of MSCs upon ER stress by a timely sacrifice of animals at the peak of ER stress. In order to determine the peak time in ER stress, the expression of ER stress marker proteins after bleomycin injury were measured in the lung of old mice at different time points (day 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21). For evaluation of the effect of MSCs on ER stress, we assessed the bleomycin insult by changes in body weight, lung tissues histology and the protein expression of ER stress markers. The level of expression of unfolded protein response (UPR) transcription factor XBP-1 and its regulator BiP were elevated at day 7 and progressively increased up to day 21. MSCs inhibited BiP expression in bleomycin-induced ER stress, whereas the expression levels of other ER stress markers were not reduced by MSCs. MSCs operate on ER stress via several pathways, but the PERK-Nrf2 pathway revealed to be the main functioning pathway. In conclusion, we demonstrated that MSCs attenuate ER stress via PERK-Nrf2 pathway.
