CONCLUSION Magnolol can attenuate RV hypertrophy and fibrosis in hypoxia-induced PAH rats through a mechanism involving inhibition of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.展开更多

The results show that X-zeolite powder with uniform granularity and intact crystal shape can be obtained in hydrothermal system of acid-treated stellerite KG-*5CD*2KG-*9NaOHKG-*5CD*2KG-*9NaAl（OH）4KG-*5CD*2KG-*9H2O; the crystallite size is in the range of 2CD*23μm. The best reaction time of hydrothermal preparation is 6h. The formation phases of X-zeolite crystal are as follows: dissolution of feedstocks → formation of [SiO4] 4- and [AlO4] 5- tetrahedron, many-membered ring, β cage → formation of crystal nucleus and nano-particle → aggregation growth of nano-particle → coalescence growth of crystallite. The crystal habits of X-zeolite are intimately related with crystallization orientation of β cage in crystal and with its coupling stability on every crystal face family.展开更多
