Abstract: A use of a ferroptosis inhibitor in preparation of a drug for treating gastritis is provided. The ferroptosis inhibitor includes ferrostatin-1 or a derivative, isomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, and further includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, an excipient, a diluent, an adjuvant, a vehicle, or a combination thereof. The present disclosure discovers that the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 can effectively inhibit a pathological process of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), and in vivo and in vitro experiments confirm that the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 can be used for prevention and treatment of CAG, which can provide a new idea for development and innovation of drugs for treating CAG.

Abstract: A simulation method for a chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) lesion includes: (1) taking a metaplasia lesion stage as a simulation object, (2) selecting a simulation form of spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM), and (3) conditionally deleting gene associated with retinoid-IFN-induced mortality-19 (GRIM-19) from gastric mucosal parietal cells. The present disclosure successfully simulates the SPEM, an initial metaplasia response after a gastric mucosal injury and the initial metaplasia response can progress into intestinal metaplasia (IM) and even gastric cancer (GC) under the continuous stimulation of chronic inflammation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for forming a history of natural gas accumulation by using carbon isotopes by a pyrolysis experiment. The method includes: obtaining activation energy distribution and a frequency factor of light carbon methane; carrying out carbon isotope kinetics simulation of natural gas in a study area by using a spreadsheet function of Excel to obtain activation energy, a mass fraction and a frequency factor of heavy carbon methane; establishing a burial history and a thermal history of the study area based on geological data; and combining the activation energy distribution and frequency factor of the heavy carbon methane with the burial history and thermal history of the study area, and establishing an instantaneous curve, a cumulative curve and a stage cumulative curve of natural gas under geological conditions on a geologic time scale.

Abstract: A preservative composition comprising an isothiazolinone, such as 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, and a polyethertriamine in a synergistic combination. The polyethertriamine enhances the antimicrobial activity of the isothiazolinone, achieving the desired antimicrobial activity at synergistically lower concentrations than with the isothiazolinone in the absence of the polyethertriamine. Also, methods of using the preservative compositions to provide wet-state preservation of industrial materials including paints, coatings, and metal working fluids.

Abstract: Compositions of matter which include 1, 2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (also known as “BIT”) and a divalent metal carboxylate and exhibit desirable activity for inhibiting microbial growth are described. Methods for preserving an aqueous solution or dispersion from degradation by bacteria or fungus, and methods for preserving a dry film from degradation by bacteria or fungus, are also described. The inventive mixtures provide greater antimicrobial protection per unit mass of metal carboxylate and BIT against certain microbes than is exhibited per unit mass by the metal carboxylate alone or by BIT alone. Desirable antimicrobial activity has been observed with mixtures of the invention against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Alcaligenes faecalis, among others.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a new apparatus and process for maximizing the storage space in a warehouse while minimizing aisle space. The invention resides in an apparatus comprising a track assembly and a wheeled platform assembly, whereby a wheeled platform and load (pallet+boxes or crates of goods) are placed on a track assembly and roiled deeper into storage, while leaving room for another load to be placed in front. The invention also teaches various improvements on the design that maximize durability accessibility, and safety.

Abstract: Non-yellowing degassing compositions which enhance degassing in powder coatings and other film-forming curable coatings are disclosed. The non-yellowing compositions contain degassing agents including a plurality of unfused aromatic rings and at least one functional group selected from ketals, carbamates, carbonates and carboxylic acid esters. The degassing agents resist decomposition and discoloration, and are relatively stable at resin curing conditions. The degassing agents may be synergistically combined with other materials, such as fatty acid amide-containing waxes, to produce new and surprisingly effective degassing compositions suitable for use in powder coatings. Curable compositions which utilize the new degassing compositions are also disclosed.
