Preparation of Non-Covalent BPTCD/g-CN Heterojunction Photocatalysts and Photodegradation of Organic Dyes Under Solar Irradiation.

In this study, the BPTCD/g-CN heterojunction photocatalyst was successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method. BPTCD (3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride) is immobilised on the surface of g-CN by non-covalent π-π stacking. The BPTCD/g-CN heterojunction photocatalyst is an all-organic photocatalyst with significantly improved photocatalytic performance compared with g-CN.

5-Demethylnobiletin Ameliorates Isoproterenol-Induced Cardiac Fibrosis and Apoptosis by Repressing the Sirt1/FOXO3a/NF-κB and Wnt/β-Catenin Pathways.

Apoptosis and fibrosis are two main factors leading to heart failure. 5-Demethylnobiletin (5-OH-Nob) is a natural polymethoxyflavone derived from the peel of citrus fruits that has many biological effects, such as antioxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we aimed to probe the function and mechanism of 5-OH-Nob in myocardial damage.
