Five principle operational parameters, especially solution pH value, were taken into account to investigate how the heterogeneous Fenton process factors mediated the TC removal. This process was effective but seriously impacted by the pH value and temperature, as well as the dosages of α-FeOOH, TC and H2O2. Very interestingly, the acidic and alkaline aqueous medium conditions were both very favorable due to the occurrence of transformation of Fe(III) to Fe(II) on goethite surfaces reduced by TC at pH 3.0~4.0 even though with a low adsorption capacity of TC because its maximum adsorption of negatively charged form occurred at pH around 8.0[1], thereby greatly promoting the TC Fenton oxidative elimination. However, a rapid initial TC decay was observed at the first 5 min, followed by a much slower retardation stage, which was likely because the reductive transformation of Fe(III) to Fe(II) by TC in the solution was inhibited as the Fenton reaction proceeded. Moreover, the hydroxyl radical scavenger t-butanol addition can decrease the removal rate of TC in the goethite/H2O2 system to a certain extent. This further indicated that the main reactive species in this process were hydroxyl radicals[2]. All the goethite-catalysed heterogeneous Fenton reactions are responsible for the TC removal following the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, were well fitted to pseudo-first order kinetics (R2】0.99), and their apparent activation energy (E) for this Fenton-like reaction was 31.86 kJ mol 1, a low value that is highly consistent with the ease of TC decay greatly enhanced by the temperature rise, indicated that the interfacial controlling interactions such as a proton induced solubilization and a reductive dissolution of goethite can clearly improve its Fenton catalytic activity[3], and these dissolution processes may not be effective in some cases, while the TC adsorption process may always play an important role to control the TC removal rate during the Fenton reaction.展开更多

Abstract： Aim This investigation was to identify whether Janus-activated kinase 2 （JAK2） and mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） pathways were involved in the inhibitory effect of berberine hydrochloride （BER） on gastric cancer cell proliferation and IL-8 expression in vitro and in vivo. Methods CCK- 8 assay was used to assess the cell proliferation. IL-8 production was determined by ELISA and qPCR assay. Mo- lecular pathways involved were evaluated by ELISA and western-blotting methods. Results BER time- and dose- dependently inhibited the proliferation of MGC 803 and AGS cells. It also suppressed tumor growth in nude mice xenografted with MGC 803 cells. In addition, BER reduced interleukin-8 （IL-8） secretion of AGS cells as well as MGC 803 cells both in vitro and in vivo. Further study disclosed that inactivation of JAK2, p38 MAPK, ERK1/2 and JNK by BER contributed to the decreased proliferation and tumor growth as well as IL-8 expression in gastric cancer. Although there was no significantly synergistic inhibitory effect between BER and evodiamine on gastric cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth, BER could counteract the up-regulation of IL-8 induced by evodiamine in vitro and vivo. Conclusions Our results suggested that BER might be an efficient and safe drug candidate for treating gastric cancer through JAK2 and MAPK pathways.展开更多

In the presence of KBr, increase in pH led to decrease in the CP of 50 mmol·L-1 drug solution (prepared in 10 mmol·L-1 sodium phosphate (SP) buffer) because of deprotonation of drug molecules at high pH. The visible absorbance increased (due to dye solubilization) with the increase in pH from 6.5 to 6.9, which indicated micellar growth. At fixed pH (6.7), addition of inorganic salts (KF, KCl, and KBr) to drug solutions (50 mmol·L-1) caused an increase in the CP as well as in the visible absorbance, with effectiveness being in the order: F-<Cl-<Br-. The results were discussed on the basis of counter-ion binding and their effect toward micellar growth. Cations (co-ions) also led to an increase in the CP (and also the visible absorbance), with their effectiveness order being Li+ >Na+ >K+, which was explained by considering cognizance of their hydrated radii. Compared with anions, their effect was small. Increase in [CPZ] caused micellar growth and hence the CP as well as the visible absorbance increased. The overall behavior was discussed in terms of electrostatic interactions and micellar growth.展开更多
