Why Vitamin C is so import in our daily life?

Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient for higher primates and other minorities. Ascorbic acid can be produced by metabolism in most organisms, but human beings are the most notable exception. The most widely known is the lack of vitamin C which can cause scurvy.
Both humans and animals can take vitamin C,The pharmacophore of vitamin C is ascorbate. In the body, vitamin C is an antioxidant because it protects the body from the oxidant. Vitamin C is also a coenzyme.
Most animals can synthesize vitamin C by themselves, but humans, marmosets, guinea pigs, etc. must be taken from food; vitamin C plays an important role in the formation of collagen. Collagen is an important substance for the development and repair of human tissue cells, gums, blood vessels, bones and teeth and help the body's absorption of iron.

Ⅰ:Vitamin C function:
Ⅰ: Main physiological function
1. Promote the biosynthesis of collagen. Conducive to the faster healing of the tissue wound;
2. Promote the metabolism of tyrosine and tryptophan in amino acids and prolong the life of the body.
3. Improve the use of iron, calcium and folic acid.
4. Improve the metabolism of fats and lipids, especially cholesterol, and prevent cardiovascular diseases.
5. Promote the growth of teeth and bones to prevent gum bleeding. ;
6. Enhance the body's anti-stress ability and immunity to the external environment.

Explanation: The main work of the immune system of humans and animals is done by white blood cells and lymphocytes. The content of vitamin C in white blood cells and lymphocytes is 30 times that of vitamin C in the blood. White blood cells and lymphocytes must have enough vitamin C to phagocytose viral viruses and bacteria, so the body's immunity is closely related to the stock of vitamin C. Vitamin C has a strong ability to reduce. Many biochemical reactions in the body require the help of vitamin C to complete. Vitamin C prevents white blood cells from being damaged by autologous oxidation, thus Taking large amounts of vitamin C increases the concentration of antibodies such as IgA, IgG and IgM in the blood. These antibodies attach to foreign viruses and bacteria, directing white blood cells and lymphocytes to destroy them.

Ⅱ: Medicine effect:
Vitamin C participates in a variety of reactions in the body, such as participating in the redox process, plays an important role in biological oxidation and reduction and cellular respiration. At the organizational level, the main role of vitamin C is related to the synthesis of intercellular substance. It includes collagen, a matrix of teeth and bone, and a junction between capillary endothelial cells. Therefore, when the scurvy caused by vitamin C deficiency is accompanied by defects in collagen synthesis, it is manifested that the wound is difficult to heal, the tooth formation disorder and capillary damage cause a large number of blood stasis points, and the blood stasis points fuse to form ecchymoses.

Ⅲ: Therapeutic effect
  • Treating injuries, burns, bleeding gums;
  • Enhance the efficacy of drugs for the treatment of urinary tract infections;
  • Accelerate recovery after surgery;
  • Helps reduce cholesterol in the blood;Ⅰ
  • Prevents infection of viral and bacterial viruses, has anti-cancer effects; and enhances immune system function;
  • Helps prevent the formation of nitrosamines (carcinogens);
  • Can be used as a natural laxative;
  • Reduce the incidence of thrombosis in the vein;
  • It can treat common colds and has a preventive effect; it can make protein cells firmly settle together, which can prolong life;
  • Increase the absorption of inorganic iron;
  • Can attenuate the effects of many substances that cause allergies;
  • Prevention of scurvy and deficiency.
The therapeutic effects that vitamin C already knows in various organs can be summarized as follows:
  • Helps to phagocytose bacteria, viruses and toxins in white blood cells, maintaining the immune system.
  • Making adrenaline in the adrenal gland to cope with the crisis.
  • Keep the lens transparent in the lens to prevent cataracts and glaucoma.
  • Maintain thought and control muscles in the brain and nervous system.
  • Update skin in the epidermis.
  • Maintain sperm motility in the testicles.
  • Elimination of organic and inorganic toxins in the liver.
  • Pneumonia that prevents viral infections in the lungs.

What is silicon carbide whiskers and its application

Silicon carbide whiskers are a kind of single-crystal fiber with a certain length-to-diameter ratio, which has very good high temperature resistance and high strength. It is mainly used in toughening applications where high temperature and high strength applications are required. Such as: aerospace materials, high-speed cutting tools. At present, it has a very high performance-price ratio. Silicon carbide whiskers are cubic whiskers, and diamonds belong to a crystal form. They are the whiskers with the highest hardness, the largest modulus, the highest tensile strength and the highest heat resistance temperature. It is both α-type and β-type, in which β-type performance is better than α-type and has higher hardness (Mohs hardness of 9.5 or more), better toughness and electrical conductivity, anti-wear, high temperature resistance, especially earthquake resistance Corrosion-resistant, radiation-resistant, has been applied to aircraft, missile casings and engines, high-temperature turbi...

Ultra-high density semiconductor type single-walled carbon nanotube horizontal array

ChinaPeking Universitycooperate with Chinese Academy of Sciencesto use ethanol / methanebychemical vapor deposition method to get ultrahigh-density semiconductor array level of  single-walled carbon nanotube . Nowadays, as electronic devices become smaller and smaller, silicon transistors have reached the bottleneck of their development. The horizontal array ofsingle-walled carbon nanotubesis regarded as the most powerful successor of future transistors due to its excellent performance. At present, obtaining high-purity, high-density horizontal arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes is a major challenge for researchers. Although the direct formation of horizontal arrays ofsingle-walled carbon nanotubeson a substrate by chemical vapor deposition is an effective method for realizing high-performance electronic devices, conventional chemical vapor deposition is extremely active due to the generated methane plasma and ultra-high temperature hydrogen atoms....

Fipronil is one of the most widely used insecticide in the world

Fipronil products  is a broad-spectrum insecticide that belongs to the phenylpyrazole chemical family. it disrupts the insect central nervous system by blocking GABA-gated chloride channels and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels. This causes hyperexcitation of contaminated insects' nerves and muscles. It's specificity towards insects is believed to be due to its greater affinity to the GABA receptor in insects relative to mammals and its effect on GluCl channels, which do not exist in mammals. Because of its effectiveness on a large number of pests,  Fipronil products  is used as the active ingredient in flea control products for pets and home roach traps as well as field pest control for corn, golf courses, and commercial turf. Its widespread use makes its specific effects the subject of considerable attention. This includes ongoing observations on possible off-target harm to humans or ecosystems as well as the monitoring of resistance development. Use: Under the ...
