RESUMO
In this study, we added ZrO2 and Y2O3 to stabilize the anatase TiO2 phase at higher temperatures. Composite mesoporous TiO2/ZrO2/Y2O3 (TZY) oxides were prepared by a sol-gel method, and triblockcopolymer P123 and PEG was used as templates. The properties of the synthesized materials were characterized using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering, N2 adsorption/desorption, and UV-Visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) methods et al. The samples prepared using P123 and PEG as double-template exhibited smaller particles and a higher specific surface area than the samples prepared using P123 and PEG as single-template. Furthermore, crystal phase transition from anatase to rutile occurred later in the case of the double-template method. After introducing ZrO 2and Y2O3, the crystal phase transition and the growth of crystallites were severely suppressed. The results indicated that the RhB degradation efficiency for the double-template method was 99.24%, while the RhB degradation efficiency with TZY/P123 and TZY/PEG samples was 97.43 and 98.18%, respectively.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To observe the mRNA expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) and nerve growth related proteins-43 (GAP-43) on hippocampus of F1 generation female rats after the pregnancy and lactation rats exposure to arsenic sodium. METHODS: 12 of pregnancy rats were exposed to arsenic (0, 10, 50, 100 mg/L, respectively in drinking water) from the 6 gestation day till F1 pups being 21 days old. Select females for expriments. Observe the change of form and numbers in CA1, CA3, DG area neurons in hippocampus by HE and Nissl's stain. By means of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), NGF and GAP-43 mRNA in hippocampus tissues in rats was measured. RESULTS: HE stain showed that, in CA1 and CA3 area, the structure of hippocampus neurons was normal in control group. In experiment groups, the apoptosis phenomena were found in hippocampus neurons including edge unclear, cell shrinkage and nuclear condensation, especially in high dose group. The hippocampus neuronal cytoplasm was rich in Nissl bodies in control group with Nissl's stain. With the experiment dose increasing, Nissl bodies were decreased especially in CA1 area. RT-PCR results demonstrated that the expression of NGF and GAP-43 mRNA were reduced significantly in experiment groups when compared with that of control (both P < 0.01). The expression of NGF and GAP-43 mRNA were decreased as the dose of arsenic increasing (both P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Rats exposure to arsenic during pregnancy and lactation, can damage hippocampus neuronal cell, and restrain the NGF and GAP-43 mRNA expression of F1 generation female rat, damaged the learning and memory ability at last.
