| 1 | A readily monitored and controllable hydrothermal system for the facile,cost-effective transformation of FGD gypsum to calcium sulfate hemihydrate whiskers显示文摘The controllable transformation of flue gas desulfurization(FGD)gypsum to calcium sulfate hemihydrate(HH)whiskers under facile,readily monitored,and cost-effective hydrothermal conditions could play a vital role in the preparation of high quality HH whiskers and improve our understanding of the transformation process.This work assessed the conversion of FGD gypsum to HH whiskers in 5×10^(-4)mol/L H_(2)SO_(4)and 1.5 wt%CuCl_(2)at 120℃while determining the effects of temperature as well as H_(2)SO_(4)and CuCl_(2)concentrations on transformation kinetics.The preparation of HH whiskers was found to involve a solution-mediated transformation from the dihydrate(DH)to theα-HH.This transition was determined to proceed via a dissolution crystallization mechanism,the rate of which was controlled by nucleation and growth of the HH whiskers.An autocatalytic kinetic model was established based on variations in the HH whiskers mole fraction over time,and this model accurately fit the experimental data with R2=0.990.Increasing the temperature or H_(2)SO_(4)concentration accelerated the transformation by modifying the super-saturation and water activity in the reaction solution,while increasing the CuCl_(2)concentration had the opposite effect.The hydrothermal conditions had an important effect on the transformation from FGD gypsum to HH whiskers. | Bolun Cao Xiao Wang Xiaoting Zhang Biao Jin Zhuoyue Xu Xueping Liu Wei Zhang Liushuan Yang | 2021 | Particuology2021，19，1： | 8 |
| 2 | Gefitinib and fostamatinib target EGFR and SYK to attenuate silicosis:a multi-omics study with drug exploration显示文摘Silicosis is the most prevalent and fatal occupational disease with no effective therapeutics,and currently used drugs cannot reverse the disease progress.Worse still,there are still challenges to be addressed to fully decipher the intricated pathogenesis.Thus,specifying the essential mechanisms and targets in silicosis progression then exploring anti-silicosis pharmacuticals are desperately needed.In this work,multi-omics atlas was constructed to depict the pivotal abnormalities of silicosis and develop targeted agents.By utilizing an unbiased and time-resolved analysis of the transcriptome,proteome and phosphoproteome of a silicosis mouse model,we have verified the significant differences in transcript,protein,kinase activity and signaling pathway level during silicosis progression,in which the importance of essential biological processes such as macrophage activation,chemotaxis,immune cell recruitment and chronic inflammation were emphasized.Notably,the phosphorylation of EGFR(p-EGFR)and SYK(pSYK)were identified as potential therapeutic targets in the progression of silicosis.To inhibit and validate these targets,we tested fostamatinib(targeting SYK)and Gefitinib(targeting EGFR),and both drugs effectively ameliorated pulmonary dysfunction and inhibited the progression of inflammation and fibrosis.Overall,our drug discovery with multi-omics approach provides novel and viable therapeutic strategies for the treatment of silicosis. | Mingyao Wang Zhe Zhang Jiangfeng Liu Meiyue Song Tiantian Zhang Yiling Chen Huiyuan Hu Peiran Yang Bolun Li Xiaomin Song Junling Pang Yanjiang Xing Zhujie Cao Wenjun Guo Hao Yang Jing Wang Juntao Yang Chen Wang | 2022 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2022，7，6： | 1 |
