The Photocatalytic Activity and Compact Layer Characteristics of TiO2 Films Prepared Using Radio Frequency Magnetron Sputtering by H. C. Chang, H. H. Huang, C. Y. Wu, R. Q. Hsu, C. Y. Hsu

“…The XRD patterns of the TiO2 films, for sol-gel with spin coating of porous TiO2/TiO2 compact/ITO/glass, show a good crystalline structure. In contrast, without the TiO2 compact layer (only porous TiO2), the peak intensity of the anatase (101) plane in the XRD patterns for the TiO2 film has a lower value, which demonstrates inferior crystalline quality. …”

Synergistic effects of PS-NPs and Cd on ovarian toxicity in adolescent rats: Ferroptosis by induction of mitochondrial redox imbalance via the SIRT3-SOD2/Gpx4 pathway by Hua Wu, Lihua Feng, Huang Wu, Lihong Wang, Hengyi Xu, Fen Fu

“…Further studies revealed that PS-NPs and Cd synergistically repressed the SIRT3-SOD2/Gpx4 pathway, inducing mitochondrial oxidative stress and ferroptosis, resulting in damage to ovarian structure and function. However, the addition of the mitochondrion-targeted antioxidant SS-31 and the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 reversed the harm to the ovaries from co-exposure to PS-NPs and Cd, the aberrant expression of genes related to the SIRT3-SOD2/Gpx4 pathway was also improved. …”
