Two Ligands (H (dec-ala) and H (dod-ala)) prepared from decyl chloride, lauroyl chloride, and amino acids (DL-alanine), reacted with Europium chloride in methanol solution, leading to two Europium (III) complexes of Eu (dec-ala)3 and Eu (dod-ala)3.Elemental analysis, NMR, and FT-IR spectra proved the elemental content, structural information of the synthesized Europium (III) complexes. The light absorption and luminescence properties were characterized by UV-vis and PL spectra analysis. Both complexes have excellent absorption capacity in the range of 200 nm-300 nm. The ideal excitation wavelengths of these complexes are at 394 nm, and the principal emission peaks are at 590 nm, 610 nm, 650 nm, and 698 nm, which correspond to 5D0 → 7F1, 5D0 →7F2, 5D0→7F3, 5D0→7F4, respectively.

The rare earth (Eu3+ and Tb3+) organic complex was doped into PVB matrix materials by solution blending physical method, and the fluorescent composite materials with different concentrations. The analysis indicates that the rare earth organic complexes are evenly distributed in the PVB organic matrix after heating and cooling treatment, and no chemical reaction occurs. The composite exhibits good thermal stability below 150°C; Emission spectrum of Eu complex /PVB films has shown an intense red emission at 615nm with an excitation at 400nm. From the Tb complex /PVB films a green emission at 542nm with an excitation at 254nm has been observed, which provides a new idea for developing fluorescent materials in many fields.

Mitochondrial dynamics, including mitochondrial fission and fusion, are critical for maintaining mitochondrial functions. Evidence shows that TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) regulates mitochondrial fusion and fission and then mitophagy. Since a previous study demonstrates a strong correlation between mitophagy and osteoarthritis (OA), we herein investigated the potential role of TBK1 in OA process and mitochondrial functions. We demonstrated a strong correlation between TBK1 and OA, evidenced by significantly downregulated expression of TBK1 in cartilage tissue samples of OA patients and in the chondrocytes of aged mice, as well as TNF-α-stimulated phosphorylation of TBK1 in primary mouse chondrocytes. TBK1 overexpression significantly attenuated TNF-α-induced apoptosis and abnormal mitochondrial function in primary mouse chondrocytes. Furthermore, TBK1 overexpression induced remodeling of mitochondrial morphology by directly phosphorylating dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) at Ser637, abolishing the fission of DRP1 and preventing its fragmentation function. Moreover, TBK1 recruitment and DRP1 phosphorylation at Ser637 was necessary for engulfing damaged mitochondria by autophagosomal membranes during mitophagy. Moreover, we demonstrated that APMK/ULK1 signaling contributed to TBK1 activation. In OA mouse models established by surgical destabilization of the medial meniscus, intraarticular injection of lentivirus-TBK1 significantly ameliorated cartilage degradation via regulation of autophagy and alleviation of cell apoptosis. In conclusion, our results suggest that the TBK1/DRP1 pathway is involved in OA and pharmacological targeting of the TBK1-DRP1 cascade provides prospective therapeutic benefits for the treatment of OA.

Using L-octanoyl alanine and L-octanoyl phenylalanine as precursors, they are reacted with magnesium hydroxide to prepare two low-molecular complexes Mg(oct-L-ala)2 and Mg(oct-L-phe)2. The composition and structure of the two complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and moisture analyzer, with the solubility and aggregation behavior of the complexes studied. A comparison of the two complexes shows that the Mg(oct-L-ala)2 complex exhibits better solubility and is easier to aggregate in the mixed solution. In addition, the aggregated solid formed by the aggregation of these two complexes in the solution has optically heterogeneous properties. After further heating and cooling treatment, the Mg(oct-L-phe)2 complex still retains the optically anisotropic state (liquid crystal state), while the Mg(oct-L-ala)2 complex forms an optically homogeneous morphology (glass state). This may be affected by the benzene ring functional group in the Mg(oct-L-phe)2 complex.

With the development and exhaustion of resources, the reclamation of secondary resources, especially urban mine, must be on the agenda. The major part of urban mine is waste printed circuit board (WPCB), and the effective processing of WPCB is depend on the disassembly. This article analyze the form of fastening, the method of fusion welding ,the recovery of welding and the disassembly of electronic component in process of disassembly, and point out the direction and tendency of development.
