This study investigated the regulatory role of nerve growth factor (NGF) in sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression in cholestatic livers. We evaluated the expression of NGF and its cognate receptors in human livers with hepatolithiasis and the effects of NGF therapy on liver injury and hepatic SIRT1 expression in a bile duct ligation (BDL) mouse model. Histopathological and molecular analyses showed that the hepatocytes of human diseased livers expressed NGF, proNGF (a precursor of NGF), TrkA and p75NTR, whereas only p75NTR was upregulated in hepatolithiasis, compared with non-hepatolithiasis livers. In the BDL model without NGF therapy, p75NTR, but not TrkA antagonism, significantly deteriorated BDL-induced liver injury. By contrast, the hepatoprotective effect of NGF was abrogated only by TrkA and not by p75NTR antagonism in animals receiving NGF therapy. Intriguingly, a positive correlation between hepatic SIRT1 and NGF expression was found in human livers. In vitro studies demonstrated that NGF upregulated SIRT1 expression in mouse livers and human Huh-7 and rodent hepatocytes. Both NGF and proNGF induced protective effects against hydrogen peroxide-induced cytotoxicity in Huh-7 cells, whereas inhibition of TrkA and p75NTR activity prevented oxidative cell death. Mechanistically, NGF, but not proNGF, upregulated SIRT1 expression in human Huh-7 and rodent hepatocytes via nuclear factor (NF)-κB activity, whereas NGF-induced phosphoinositide-3 kinase/Akt, extracellular signal–regulated kinase and NF-κB signaling and SIRT1 activity were involved in its hepatoprotective effects against oxidative injury. These findings suggest that pharmacological manipulation of the NGF/SIRT1 axis might serve as a novel approach for the treatment of cholestatic disease.

With the increasingly serious problem of climate warming in recent years, CO2 capture technology has been widely concernedby countries all over the world. One of the effective methods to reduce CO2 emissions is to capture CO2 after combustion. Alkali metal salt modified MgO-based adsorbents were synthesized by hydration impregnation method to obtain high efficientadsorbents in this study. The CO2 cyclic adsorption capacity test was carried out in a fixed bed experimental setup. Themicrostructure of the adsorbent was characterized by XRD, SEM and BET techniques. The adsorption properties and cyclestability of alkali metal salts modified MgO adsorbents were deeply studied. The results show that the adsorbent with 10wt% K2CO3-MgO has the best adsorption performance and cyclic stability. The initial adsorption capacity is 89 mg/g·sorbent,and the adsorption capacity of the 15th cycle is 63 mgCO2/ g·sorbent. 10 wt% K2CO3-MgO adsorbent has the largest specificsurface area, and K2CO3 doping of alkali metal carbonate can effectively improve the CO2 adsorption capacity and cyclicstability of the adsorbent.

Proton exchange nembrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are highly promising energy devices for future transportation and distributed power stations. The electrochemical performance of PEMFCs assembled with gas diffusion layer (GDL) of different porosity gradient distributions has been analyzed using the lattice Boltzmann method. A single-phase multi-component lattice Boltzmann model employing the active approach was developed to investigate the reactive gas flow within the GDL. Two types of GDLs with the same porosity, namely multilayer porosity gradient GDLs and linear porosity gradient GDLs, were generated to investigate the effect of the porosity gradient of the GDL on the electrochemical performance of PEMFC. The results show that the two types of porosity gradient GDL improve oxygen starvation problems and enhance water management, and that the GDLs with smaller porosity gradients can increase the mean current density. This paper develops the study of pore-scale analysis of PEMFC performance and can provide guidance for the design of GDL structures.

In order to improve the adsorption capacity of chitosan to organic dyes, the amino rich functionalized chitosanelectrospun nanofibers membrane was prepared. In the process of high efficiency synthesis, PGMA and PEI were grafted onthe surface of CS NFMs in turn. By means of XRD, ATR-FTIR and XPS, the successful introduction of amino group into CSwas confirmed. The selective adsorption capacity of CS-PGMA-PEI NFMs for anionic dyes was studied. The adsorptionkinetics analysis shows that the adsorption process of CS-PGMA-PEI NFMs is mainly pseudo second-order model. Itsadsorption isotherms can be described by the Langmuir model and it conforms to monolayer adsorption. The maximumadsorption capacity of Congo red calculated by Langmuir model is 657.47 mg/g. CS-PGMA-PEI NFMs has selectiveadsorption capacity for Congo red/methylene blue mixture. CS-PGMA-PEI NFMs also showed good circulation stability. This study provides a method for the synthesis of water purification membrane.

We report on experimental studies of an Al$_{0.15}$Ga$_{0.85}$N/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor structure grown on a $p$-type Si (111) substrate. This structure is compatible with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology and, thus, has great potential device applications. The low-temperature magnetoresistivity shows a parabolic dependence on the applied perpendicular magnetic field. This effect is ascribed to electron-electron interaction (EEI) effects in a weakly-disordered two-dimensional system. Our experimental results agree with the EEI theory when the correction term in the ballistic region has been subtracted.
