Summary: This study aimed to explore the function and mechanism of Sirt-1 in fluorine-induced liver injury. The results revealed that fluoride exposure aggravated pathological damage and fibrosis in rat liver tissues, and downregulated Sirt-1 expression. Additionally, fluoride exposure enhanced the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and apoptotic pathways while inhibiting cell proliferation. These findings suggest that fluoride exposure induces hepatocyte ERS and apoptosis through the downregulation of Sirt-1 expression.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
