The photochemical decomposition of hydrogen sulphide has been investigated at pressures between 8 and 550 mm of mercury and at temperatures between 27 and 650° C, using the narrow cadmium line ( λ 2288) and the broad mercury band (about λ 2550). At room temperature the quantum yield increases with pressure from 1.09 at 30 mm to 1.26 at 200 mm. Above 200 mm pressure there was no further increase in the quantum yield. Temperature had little effect on the quantum yield at λ 2550, but there was a marked increase in the rate of hydrogen production between 500 and 650° C with 2288 Å radiation. This may have been caused by the decomposition of excited hydrosulphide radicals. The results are consistent with a mechanism involving hydrogen atoms and hydrosulphide radicals. The mercury-photosensitized reaction is less efficient than the photochemical decomposition, the quantum yield being only about 0.45. The efficiency increased with temperature and approached unity at high temperatures and pressures. This agrees with the suggestion that a large fraction of the quenching collisions lead to the formation of Hg ( 3 P 0 ) atoms. The thermal decomposition is heterogeneous at low temperatures and becomes homogeneous and of the second order at 650° C. The experimental evidence suggests the bimolecular mechanism 2H 2 S → 2H 2 + S 2 . The activation energies are 25 kcal/mole (heterogeneous) and 50 kcal/mole (homogeneous).

The organic reactions that take place during the thermal coking of bitumen are extremely complex and deep-seated, but obviously hydrogen atoms originally attached to carbons that form coke will have moved to a new carbon site (net addition of hydrogen, resulting in upgraded bitumen). Accompanying this process, one expects some general hydrogen shuttling between non-coking molecules. This paper describes an approach to determing the extent of this latter process by the addition of a small amount of perdeuterated pyrene to the bitumen prior to the coking operation. The in situ pyrene functions as in indicator, allowing one to establish the extent and other mechanistic details of the "hydrogen donor" reactions that take place during coking. There is no indication that the pyrene substantially modifies the normal course of the reaction, hence the analogy to an indicator. Key words: bitumen coking, pyrene, hydrogen exchange, donor solvent, free radicals.

Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) is one of the main active ingredients of Salvia miltiorrhiza, with strong antioxidant effects. Recent findings have shown that Sal B has anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-fibrotic effects and can promote stem cell proliferation and differentiation, and has a beneficial effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, aging, and liver fibrosis. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) include oxygen free radicals and oxygen-containing non-free radicals. ROS can regulate cell proliferation, survival, death and differentiation to regulate inflammation, and immunity, while Sal B can scavenge oxygen free radicals by providing hydrogen atoms and reduce the production of oxygen free radicals and oxygen-containing non-radicals by regulating the expression of antioxidant enzymes. The many pharmacological effects of Sal B may be closely related to its elimination and inhibition of ROS generation, and Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2/Kelch-like ECH-related protein 1 may be the core link in its regulation of the expression of antioxidant enzyme to exert its antioxidant effect. What is confusing and interesting is that Sal B exhibits the opposite mechanisms in tumors. To clarify the specific target of Sal B and the correlation between its regulation of oxidative stress and energy metabolism homeostasis will help to further understand its role in different pathological conditions, and provide a scientific basis for its further clinical application and new drug development. Although Sal B has broad prospects in clinical application due to its extensive pharmacological effects, the low bioavailability is a serious obstacle to further improving its efficacy in vivo and promoting clinical application. Therefore, how to improve the availability of Sal B in vivo requires the joint efforts of many interdisciplinary subjects.
