TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the hydrogen adsorption and storage capacity on various carbon-based ring materials decorated with alkali metal ions by using quantum chemistry calculations, and they showed that the Li+-, Na+-, and K+decorated carbon based molecular complexes with B-and N-substitution enhance the hydrogen storage capacity.
Abstract: The hydrogen adsorption and storage capacity on various carbon-based ring materials decorated with alkali metal ions have been systematically investigated by using quantum chemistry calculations. To improve the bonding ability between H2 molecules and carbon-ring based molecular complexes, we also explain the strategy of modifying the carbon ring materials by substituting carbon element to boron or nitrogen element (up to three atoms). Our calculations show that the Li+-, Na+-, and K+-decorated carbon-based molecular complexes with B- and N-substitution enhance the hydrogen storage capacity. The Mulliken charge analysis is performed to illustrate the interaction between H2 and M+@carbon-ring complex. The number of binding H2 molecules on the M+-carbon-ring complexes (M+ = Li+, Na+, and K+) depends on ionic radii of the metal cations. It is found that corresponding gravimetric density are predicted to be 11.21–13.95 and 10.42–13.24 wt % for the B- and N-substituted complexes, respectively.

TL;DR: Epithelium‐derived thymic stromal lymphopoietin, interleukin, and IL‐33 are implicated in the dysregulation of Th2 immune responses in severe allergic asthma.
Abstract: BACKGROUND Exposure to environmental pollutants promotes Th2 cell responses. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation aggravates allergic responses. Epithelium-derived thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin (IL)-25, and IL-33 are implicated in the dysregulation of Th2 immune responses in severe allergic asthma. METHODS Bronchial biopsies of 28 allergic severe asthma and 6 mild asthma subjects from highly polluted areas were analyzed for AhR nuclear translocation (NT), cytokine expression, and gene activation. Cultured primary epithelial cells were stimulated with diesel exhausted particles (DEP) to determine AhR-mediated IL-33, Il-25, and TSLP synthesis and release. RESULTS Primary bronchial epithelial cells exposed to DEP showed upregulation of IL-33, IL-25, and TSLP. These effects were abolished by knockdown of AhR by siRNA. Increased AhR/ARNT binding to promoters of IL-33, IL-25, and TSLP was found using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. Allergic severe asthma with high AhR NT had higher bronchial gene and protein expression of IL-33, IL-25, and TSLP. These patients derived clinical benefit from anti-IgE treatment. CONCLUSION Aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation by DEP mediates upregulation of IL-33, IL-25, and TSLP with Th2 activation, potentially linking environmental pollution and allergic severe asthma.
