BACKGROUND This study evaluated the impact of different doses of Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) on the functional status and phenotype of T cells during polymicrobial sepsis. METHODS On day 1 after cecal ligation and puncture, mice were treated with either saline, 100 (A100), 200 (A200), or 400 mg APS/kg body weight (BW) (A400) by an intraperitoneal injection daily for 4 days. All mice were...

Atenolol (ATN) is a slowly biodegradable antagonist β-blocker drug and remains in the environment for long period of time. This has harmful effect on human animal bodies. In this study, using activated persulfate with ultrasound degradation ATN was investigated. The independent variables including pH, concentration, dose, contact time, ultrasonic power been studied at 5 levels. Central composit...

Iron-based catalysts are widely used in water treatment and environmental remediation due to their abundant content nature ability activate persulfate at room temperature. Here, eggshell biochar-loaded natural iron slag (IO@ESBC) was successfully synthesized remove tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) by activated persulfate. The morphology, structure chemical composition of IO@ESBC were systematic...

Ultrafast and temporally precise action potentials (APs) are biophysical specializations of auditory brainstem neurons; properties necessary for encoding sound localization and communication cues. Fundamental to these specializations are voltage dependent potassium (KV) and sodium (NaV) ion channels. Here, we characterized the functional development of these ion channels and quantified how they...

The present investigation focuses on disintegration kinetics of wet-strength tissue paper in various termo-alkaline and chemical conditions batch low-consistency repulping process. As chlorine-free aids, we applied sodium persulfate its original state combination with peroxy activator (chemically activated form persulfate). Based a first-order kinetic model, estimated the influence intensity de...

Simple and reliable procedures have been developed for analyses of N03 , total N, and organic N in fresh waters. N03is determined by second-derivative UV spectroscopy. Total N and organic N are determined based on secondderivative analyses of N03following persulfate digestion. Resolution of organic N determinations was increased by using ion-exchange resins to remove N03from samples with high c...

hydrogels, due to their unique potentials such as high-water content and hydrophilicity are interest for the controlled release of drug molecules. the present study aims to create a controlled-release system through the preparation and characterization of hydrogels based on ph-sensitive polymers such as poly (acrylic acid). poly (acrylic acid), p(aa), hydrogel has been synthesized by radical po...

Heat-activated persulfate preoxidation was recently proposed as a potential approach to mitigate membrane fouling in distillation (MD) for treating actual water. However, the possible mitigation mechanism involved has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we explored relationship between and pretreatment of natural organic matter (NOM) solutions with peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Individual humic ...
