Conversely, in a model of allergic asthma induced by intranasal administration of house dust mites (HDM), 25-OHC levels were decreased, and when intranasally administered, this oxysterol worsened the hallmarks of the model (eg, leukocyte recruitment, tissue remodeling [epithelium thickening and peribranchial fibrosis], and cytokine expression) and induced changes in leukotriene levels. Ex vivo, we found that 25-OHC decreases LPS-induced primary alveolar macrophage activation while having no effect on neutrophil activation. Its sulfated metabolite, 25-hydroxycholesterol-3-sulfate, decreased neutrophil, but not macrophage activation. Taken together, our data support a differential role of 25-OHC in ALI and allergic inflammation models.It is of great significance to mediate the redox kinetics and shuttle effect of polysulfides in pursuit of high-energy-density and long-life lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Herein, a new strategy is proposed based on the electrostatic attraction and catalytic effect of polysulfides for the modification of the polypropylene (PP) separator. Guanidinium-based ionic-covalent organic nanosheets (iCON) on the surface of Ti3 C2 is presented as a coating layer for the PP separator. The synergetic effects of Ti3 C2 and iCON provide new platforms to suppress the shuttle effect of polysulfides, expedite the redox kinetics of sulfur species, and promote efficient conversion of the intercepted polysulfides. The functional separator endows carbon nanotube/sulfur cathodes with excellent electrochemical performance. The average capacity decay per cycle within 2000 cycles at 2 C is as low as 0.006%. The separator is even effective in the case of sulfur content of 90 wt% and sulfur loading of 7.6 mg cm-2 ; the reversible capacity, areal capacity, and volumetric capacity at 0.1 C are as high as 1186 mA h g-1 , 9.01 mA h
