The photo-electrocatalytic property of hollow mesoporous graphene oxide/tungsten trioxide/titanium dioxide membrane photo-anode by Yuan Li, Xinying Sun, Jiajia Chen, Shuping Luo, Guohua Li

“…When the content of GO in the anode is around 1 wt%, its light absorption ability is the best among all the anodes with different contents of GO, and its photocatalytic ability to degrade methyl orange is the strongest as our experiments concerned. These findings indicate that the addition of GO into the WO3/TiO2 composite can improve its photo-electrocatalytic property. …”

Hydrogen sulfide attenuates disturbed flow-induced vascular remodeling by inhibiting LDHB-mediated autophagic flux by Xia Wang, Xiying Huang, Yongya Zhang, Huanhuan Huo, Guo Zhou, Linghong Shen, Long Li, Ben He

“…Here, we showed that the H2S donor, NaHS suppressed DF-induced vascular remodeling in mice. Further experiments demonstrated that NaHS inhibited the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) induced by platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF), as well as the autophagy triggered by DF and PDGF. …”
