RESUMO
Photocatalytic reduction of UVI to UIV can help remove U from the environment and thus reduce the harmful impacts of radiation emitted by uranium isotopes. Herein, we first synthesized Bi4Ti3O12 (B1) particles, then B1 was crosslinked with 6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-diamine (DCT) to afford B2. Finally, B3 was formed using B2 and 4-formylbenzaldehyde (BA-CHO) to investigate the utility of the D-π-A array structure for photocatalytic UVI removal from rare earth tailings wastewater. B1 lacked adsorption sites and displayed a wide band gap. The grafted triazine moiety in B2 introduced active sites and narrowed the band gap. Notably, B3, a Bi4Ti3O12 (donor)-triazine unit (π-electron bridge)-aldehyde benzene (acceptor) molecule, effectively formed the D-π-A array structure, which formed multiple polarization fields and further narrowed the band gap. Therefore, UVI was more likely to capture electrons at the adsorption site of B3 and be reduced to UIV due to energy level matching effects. UVI removal capacity of B3 under simulated sunlight was 684.9 mg g-1, 2.5 times greater than B1 and 1.8 times greater than B2. B3 was still active after multiple reaction cycles, and UVI removal from tailings wastewater reached 90.8%. Overall, B3 provides an alternative design scheme for enhancing photocatalytic performance.
RESUMO
Two viscosity-sensitive two-photon fluorescent probes (QL and QLS) were designed and synthesized, which can be localized in lysosome and mitochondria in living HeLa cells, respectively. As the increases of viscosity from 2.55 to 1150 cP, the fluorescence quantum yield (Φ) of QL and QLS was increased by 28-fold and 37-fold, respectively. At the same time, its effective two-photon absorption cross section (ΦδTPA) was enhanced by 15-fold and 16-fold, respectively. Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of living HeLa cells stained with QL and QLS, revealed that lysosomal viscosity ranged from 100.76 to 254.74 cP and mitochondrial viscosity ranged from 92.21 to 286.79 cP. This type of fluorescent probe is helpful in the design and application of materials for monitoring diseases associated with abnormal viscosity.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the change of the serum IL-1, IL-2R and TNF-alpha levels in divers after deep saturation in the open sea diving. METHOD: Eight divers experienced 150 in Heliox saturation -182 in excursion diving. Serum levels of IL-1, IL-2R and TNF-alpha level before and after diving were measured by ELISA. RESULTS: There was no significant change of serum TNF-alpha level after saturation diving, but serum levels of IL-1, IL-2R increased significantly after saturation diving. CONCLUSION: Deep open sea saturation diving had significant effects on serum IL-6, IL-2R levels of the divers.
