    Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, University of Arizona; Department of Chemistry, University of WaterlooThe electronic emission spectrum of YH and YD has been investigated in the 690 nm to 3 μm\mu m spectral region using a Fourier transform spectrometer. The YH and YD bands were excited in an yttrium hollow cathode lamp operated with neon gas and a trace of H2H_{2} of D2D_{2} The observed bands have been classified into three different electronic transitions; C1Σ+X1Σ+, d0+(3Σ)X1Σ+C {^{1}\Sigma}^{+}-X {^{1}\Sigma}^{+}, \ d0 {^{+}}({^{3}\Sigma})- X{^{1}\Sigma}^{+} and C3Φa3ΔC^{3} \Phi-a^{3} \Delta. The d0+(3Σ)X1Σ+d0 {^{+}}({^{3}\Sigma})- X{^{1}\Sigma}^{+} transition of YD could not be identified due to its very weak intensity. The rotational analysis of several bands of the C1Σ+X1ΣC {^{1}\Sigma}^{+}-X {^{1}\Sigma}^{-} transition (up to v=3v^{\prime\prime} = 3 for YH and v=2v^{\prime\prime} = 2 for YD) provides improved equilibrium vibrational and rotational constants for the ground state of YH and YD. The excited C3Σ+C {^{3}\Sigma}^{+} state is involved in several perturbations

    Aim: 7-O-ethylfangchinoline (YH-200) is a bisbenzylisoquinoline derivative. The aim of this study was to investigate the antidepressant-like action and underlying mechanisms of YH-200 in mice. Methods: Mice were treated with YH-200 (15, 30, and 60 mg/kg, ig) or tetrandrine (30 and 60 mg/kg, ig) before conducting forced swimming test (FST), tail suspension test (TST), or open field test (OFT). Results: YH-200 (60 mg/kg) significantly decreased the immobility time in both FST and TST, and prolonged the latency to immobility in FST. YH-200 (60 mg/kg) was more potent than the natural bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid tetrandrine (60 mg/kg) in FST. Pretreatment with alpha(1)-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin (1 mg/kg), beta-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol (2 mg/kg), dopamine D-1/D-5 receptor antagonist SCH23390 (0.05 mg/kg), dopamine D-2/D-3 receptor antagonist haloperidol (0.2 mg/kg) or AMPA receptor antagonist NBQX (10 mg/kg) prevented the antidepressant-like action of YH-200 (60 mg/kg) in FST. In contrast, pretreatment with alpha(2) adrenoceptor antagonist yohimbine (1 mg/kg) augmented the antidepressant-like action of YH-200 (30 mg/kg) in FST. Chronic administration of YH-200 (30 and 60 mg/kg for 14 d) did not produce drug tolerance; instead its antidepressant-like action was strengthened. Chronic administration of YH-200 did not affect the body weight of mice compared to control mice. Conclusion: YH-200 exerts its antidepressant-like action in mice via acting at multi-targets, including alpha(1), alpha(2) and beta-adrenoceptors, D-1/D-5 and D-2 /D-3 receptors, as well as AMPA receptors.National Natural Science Foundation of China [81173031, 81202511, 81302746]SCI(E)PubMed中国科技核心期刊(ISTIC)中国科学引文数据库(CSCD)[email protected]

    Ru-doped phosphorene for electrochemical ammonia synthesis

    No full text
    The electrochemical ammonia synthesis has attracted increasing attention due to its energy saving characteristics. However, developing novel electrocatalysts and their mechanism remain great challenges. Here, several transition metal (TM) atoms doped on phosphorene were studied as N2 fixation electrocatalysts by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results demonstrate that single Ru atom doped phosphorene shows an excellent catalytic activity for ammonia synthesis via the enzymatic pattern. A small overpotential of 0.696 V is achieved for this process. The effect of oxidation in the catalyst was also discussed in our work. Oxidation deactivates the catalyst, which should be avoided in the experiment. Our outcomes offer a novel perspective for single-atom catalytic ammonia synthesis with phosphorene as a substrate.No Full Tex

    <p>Data shown in the table are mean ± SE. There were no significant differences at the 0.01 level between mean values within columns. The YS is the F<sub>1</sub> generation from cross-breeding of YH♀×SY♂, and the SY′ is the F<sub>1</sub> generation from cross-breeding of SY♀×YH♂. “—” means none, that is the YS couldn't emerge within three days and therefore produced no eggs with no hatching, and the SY′ produced extremely few eggs with no hatching.</p
