Article Abstract

The sorption behavior of dibutyltin (DBT) to four types of natural clay-rich sediments as a function of pH and salinity was studied. The strongest affinity of DBT was found to the montmorillonite-rich sediment, which is characterized by the highest specific surface area and cation exchange capacity of the four used sediments. Kd values range between 12 and 40 (l/kg) on simulated marine conditions (pH 8, salinity 32%). A maximum of DBT adsorption was found at a salinity of 0% and pH 6. Desorption occurred over the entire studied pH range (4-8) when contaminated sediments interact with butyltin-free water. The maximum of desorption coincided with the minimum of adsorption, and vice versa. The results of DBT adsorption are compared with tributyltin (TBT), and the mechanism of the adsorption process is discussed.

The characteristic pathological change in chronic pancreatitis (CP) is pancreatic fibrosis. In the early stages of CP development, injured acinar cells induce the infiltration of inflammatory cells, followed by pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) activation. Activated PSC induce the deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) and promote the development of pancreatic fibrosis.

Background: Abdominal pain is the most severe symptom of chronic pancreatitis. However, till date, there are only a few studies on the mechanism of pain in chronic pancreatitis. Previous research has reported that mast cells are enriched around nerve fibers and are associated with visceral pain.

Background: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) accompanied with persistent abdominal pain represents a major clinical challenge for the symptom management in patients. Although with clear involvement of neuropathy, the detailed mechanisms underlying pain hypersensitivity associated with CP are not totally clear. The endothelin system has been reported to contribute to chronic pain and chronic inflammatory settings, and is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of chronic pain.

Organotin (OT) compounds are commonly used in antifouling paints, but can cause toxic effects in various marine organisms, including gastropods, amphibians, and teleosts. The effects of these chemicals on marine mammals remain largely unknown. We comprehensively investigated the accumulation patterns and health risks of six OTs in Indo-Pacific finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) from the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), China, from 2007 to 2020.

Here, we have explored covalent adaptable networks (CANs) comprising poly(thiourethane)-based systems (PTUs). The PTUs were synthesized through the combination of thiol and isocyanate monomers in stoichiometric proportions, in the presence of dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) as catalyst. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) provided detailed insight into the vitrimeric behavior.
