X-ray diffraction indicates that the structure of recently discovered carbonaceous sulfur hydride (C–S–H) room-temperature superconductor is derived from previously established van der Waals compounds found in H2S–H2 and CH4–H2 systems. Crystals superconducting phase were produced by a photochemical synthesis technique, leading to critical temperature Tc 288 K at 267 GPa. patterns measured 124 ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The effects of H2S on cerebral inflammatory reaction after cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of exogenous 40 ppm and 80 ppm H2S gas on inflammatory reaction and neurological outcome after CA/CPR. METHODS CA was induced by ventricular fibrillation and followed by CPR. Forty or 80 ppm ...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a prototype molecular system and a sister molecule of water (H2O). The phase diagram of solid H2S at high pressures remains largely unexplored arising from the challenges in dealing with the pressure-induced weakening of S-H bond and larger atomic core difference between H and S. Metallization is yet achieved for H2O, but it was observed for H2S above 96 GPa. However, ...

Cadmium (Cd2+) is a common toxic heavy metal ion. We investigated the roles of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and cysteine (Cys) in plant responses to Cd2+ stress. The expression of H2S synthetic genes LCD and DES1 were induced by Cd2+ within 3 h, and endogenous H2S was then rapidly released. H2S promoted the expression of Cys synthesis-related genes SAT1 and OASA1, which led to endogenous Cys accumula...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous gaseous biological mediator, which regulates, among others, the oxidative balance of cells under normal physiological conditions, as well as in various diseases. Several previous studies have reported that H2S attenuates inflammatory mediator production. In this study, we investigated the role of H2S in chromatin modulation in an in vitro model of lipopol...

Effects of elevated ambient temperature on puberty and related physiological responses were studied in 40 gilts. Group 1 (n = 20) gilts were born in September and Group 2 (n = 20) gilts were born in March. Gilts were placed in environmentally controlled chambers at 140 d of age. After a 10-d acclimation period at 20 degrees C, 35% relative humidity (RH), and 12 h light (L)/12 h dark (D), gilts ...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a very common odor nuisance which is best controlled by chemical or biological scrubbing. Under alkaline pH, the amount of H2S that can be solubilized in a scrubbing liquid increases significantly, and therefore, gas-liquid mass transfer limitations can be reduced. To date, biological scrubbing of H2S has been limited to neutral or acidic pH, despite the potential bene...

Hydrogen sulfide is already recognized as an important signaling molecule in mammalian systems, and emerging data suggest that H2S is a signaling molecule just as important as nitric oxide (NO) and H2O2 in plants. Although sulfide is generated in chloroplasts and mitochondria, it is present predominantly in the charged HS (-) form due to the basic pH inside both organelles, thus requiring an ac...
