文摘The high-temperature oxidation resistance of AISI 321 stainless steel used in solar thermal power heat exchangers determines its service life.In this study,aluminizing and subsequent laser shock peening(LSP)treatments were employed to improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of AISI 321 stainless steel at 620°C.These two treatments decreased the oxidation rate of AISI 321 steel.Specifically,the optimal oxidation resistance was observed in aluminized steel before oxidation for 144 h owing to the increased entropy of the LSP-treated specimen.After 144 h,LSP-treated steel achieved the best oxidation resistance because of the formation of a protectiveα-Al2O3film.Moreover,the large amount of subgrain boundaries formed on the aluminized layer of the LSP-treated samples could act as short-circuit paths for the outward diffusion of Al,facilitating the rapid nucleation ofα-Al2O3.Meanwhile,the aluminized layer could isolate the contact between the oxidation environment and matrix,thereby decreasing the oxidation rate.Furthermore,the minimum oxidation parabolic constant was calculated for LSP-treated steel(6.45787×10^(-14)),which was 69.18%and 36.36%that of aluminized and 321 steel,respectively,during the entire oxidation process.Therefore,the combination of aluminizing and LSP treatments can improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of 321 stainless steel,providing a new idea for its surface treatment to achieve a long service life at high temperatures.

文摘Owing to the lack of matching commercial welding wires,the development of wire arc additive manufacturing(WAAM)for most aluminum alloys is hindered.A wire-powder synchronous arc additive manufacturing(WPAAM)was proposed to prepare the target Al-Si-Mg aluminum alloy.Based on the synchronous deposition of AlSi_(12) wire and pure Mg powder,the deposition width of the WPAAMed thin-wall was increased by 61% compared with that of WAAMed thin-wall using AlSi_(12) wire,and the machining allowance was reduced by 81%.The added Mg powder benefited to form refined equiaxed grains,and reduced the average grain size of the WPAAMed thin-wall to 47.1μm,showing a decrease of 23.8% relatively to that of the WAAMed thin-wall.Besides,Mg reacted with Si to form Mg_(2)Si strengthening phases.The mechanical properties tests showed that the ultimate tensile strength and elongation of the WPAAMed thin-wall increased up to 174.5 MPa and 4.1%,reaching 92% and 60% those of the WAAMed thin-wall,respectively.
文摘Chinese medicine,with its rich historical roots and holistic approach,has been a fundamental aspect of healthcare in East Asia and is now gaining global recognition.Founded on centuries of empirical knowledge and philosophical insight,Chinese medicine draws heavily from classical texts to guide its practices in herbal medicine and acupuncture.Despite its cultural and historical significance,integrating Chinese medicine into global healthcare systems presents challenges,notably the need for evidence-based practices to enhance credibility,ensure patient safety,and foster broader acceptance within the medical community.This paper explores how Chinese medicine can adopt evidence-based practices by incorporating principles of Western medicine into its research methodologies.It reviews the origins and philosophical foundations of Chinese medicine,examining its reliance on classical texts and empirical methods.The paper also highlights the differences between the personalised approach of Chinese medicine,which tailors treatments to individual needs,and the standardised protocols typical of Western medicine.Additionally,it addresses methodological challenges in Chinese medicine research,such as inconsistent diagnostic criteria and insufficient design rigour.To bridge these gaps,innovative research methodologies that respect the unique variability of Chinese medicine are needed.By adopting evidence-based practices and rigorous scientific validation,Chinese medicine can enhance its legitimacy and facilitate its integration into the global healthcare landscape.

文摘The stability of perovskite solar cells(PSCs)is adversely affected by nonradiative recombination resulting from buried interface defects.Herein,we synthesize a polyionic liquid,poly(p-vinylbenzyl trimethylam-monium hexafluorophosphate)(PTA),and introduce it into the buried interface of PSCs.The quaternary ammonium cation(N(-CH_(3))^(3+))in PTA can fill the vacancies of organic cations within the perovskite structure and reduce shallow energy level defects.Additionally,the hexafluorophosphate(PF6−)in PTA forms a Lewis acid-base interaction with Pb^(2+)in the perovskite layer,effectively passivating deep en-ergy level defects.Furthermore,hydrogen bonding can be established between organic cations and the PF6−anion,preventing the formation of shallow energy level defects.Through this synergistic mecha-nism,the deep and shallow energy level defects are effectively mitigated,resulting in improved device performance.As a result,the resulting treated inverted PSC exhibits an impressive power conversion ef-ficiency(PCE)of 24.72%.Notably,the PTA-treated PSCs exhibit remarkable stability,with 88.5%of the original PCE retained after undergoing heat aging at 85℃ for 1078 h,and 89.1%of the initial PCE main-tained following continuous exposure to light for 1100 h at the maximum power point.Synergistically suppressing multiple defects at the buried interface through the use of polyionic liquids is a promising way to improve the commercial viability of PSCs.

文摘Multimodal ultrasonic vibration(UV)assisted micro-forming has been widely investigated for its advantages of further reducing forming loads and improving forming quality.However,the influence mechanism of different UV modes on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties was still unclear.Mul-timodal UV assisted micro-compression tests on T2 copper with different grains and sample sizes were conducted in this study.The microstructure evolution for different UV modes was observed by EBSD.The results showed that the true stress reduction caused by UV was increased sequentially with tool ultrasonic vibration(TV),mold ultrasonic vibration(MV)and compound ultrasonic vibration(CV).The region of grain deformation was shifted along the direction of UV,and the MV promoted the uniform distribution of deformation stress.The grain refinement,fiber streamline density,grain deformation and rotation degree were further enhanced under CV,due to the synergistic effect of TV and MV.Additionally,a coupled theoretical model considering both acoustic softening effect and size effect was proposed for describing the mechanical properties.And a physical model of dislocation motion in different UV modes was developed for describing the microstructure evolution.The maximum error between the theoretical and experimental results was only 2.39%.This study provides a theoretical basis for the optimization of UV assisted micro-forming process.

文摘Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a chronic gastrointestinal disease with a high incidence.Treatment for IBD includes medications and diet,and common anti-inflammatory medications have limitations like drug resistance and serious adverse effects.Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that dietary flavonoids exhibit an alleviative effect on IBD by influencing gut microbiota.The microbiota-derived metabolites also regulate IBD and maintain intestinal homeostasis.In this review,we investigate the therapeutic effect of gut microbiota and metabolites on IBD by intestinal immune and intestinal barrier function.We demonstrate the underlying mechanism of dietary flavonoids as an anti-inflammatory molecule alleviating IBD by regulating gut microbiota,short chain fatty acid(SCFA),bile acid(BA),tryptophan(Trp)metabolism and lipopolysaccharides(LPS)-toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)signaling pathway.Based on structural differences of flavonoids,we summarize the recent research progress on the role of different dietary flavonoids in alleviating IBD by gut microbiota and metabolites in animal and clinical trials.This review indicates that dietary flavonoids targeting gut microbiota and metabolites provide a promising strategy for the treatment of inflammation and novel insights into the management of IBD.

文摘The extracellular vesicles show great potential as a noninvasive biomarker for the early detection of cancer.Hence,there is an urgent requirement to create biosensors that are time-saving,simple,and easily scalable in order to accomplish rapid,sensitive,and quantitative detection of extracellular vesicles.In this study,we present a self-propelled DNA walker powered by endonuclease Nt.Bbv CI,which enables the development of a“signal on”sensing platform for the rapid and highly sensitive detection of extracellular vesicles.The DNA motor employed tracks made of streptavidin magnetic beads,which consisted of substrate strands labeled with fluorescein and motor strands locked by aptamers.The aptamer recognition of the target protein on extracellular vesicles unlocked the motor strand,initiating the DNA motor process.After replacing the optimal buffer solution containing the endonuclease Nt.BbvC I,the motor strands autonomously moved along the streptavidin magnetic beads track,continuously releasing fluorescent molecules and producing detectable fluorescence signals.Under optimal conditions,the detection range was from 2×10~4particles/mL to 2×10~9particles/mL,with a detection limit of 2.9×10~3particles/mL,demonstrating excellent selectivity.This method has demonstrated good selectivity in different tumorderived extracellular vesicles and performs well in complex biological samples.The ability to effectively analyze surface proteins of extracellular vesicles in a short period of time gives our DNA walker a tremendous potential for developing simple and cost-effective clinical diagnostic devices.

文摘The alkali adatoms with controlled coverage on the surface have been demonstrated to effectively tune the surface band of quantum materials through in situ electron doping.However,the interplay of orderly arranged alkali adatoms with the surface states of quantum materials remains unexplored.Here,by using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy(STM/S),we observed the emergent 3×3 super modulation of electronic states on the√3×√3R30°(R3)Cs ordered surface of kagome superconductor CsV_(3)Sb_(5).The nondispersive 3×3 superlattice at R3 ordered surface shows contrast inversion in positive and negative differential conductance maps,indicating a charge order origin.The 3×3 charge order is suppressed with increasing temperature and undetectable at a critical temperature of~62 K.Furthermore,in the Ta substituted sample CsV_(2.6)Ta_(0.4)Sb_(5),where long-range 2×2×2 charge density wave is significantly suppressed,the 3×3 charge order on the R3 ordered surface becomes blurred and much weaker than that in the undoped sample.It indicates that the 3×3 charge order on the R3 ordered surface is directly correlated to the bulk charge density waves in CsV_(3)Sb_(5).Our work provides a new platform for understanding and manipulating the cascade of charge orders in kagome superconductors.

文摘Herein,we describe a nickel-catalyzed reductive decarboxylative difluoromethylation reaction of alkenes using inexpensive and easy-to-handle difluoroacetic anhydride(DFAA)/pyridine N-oxide reagent system.A variety of C(sp^(3))-CF_(2)H containing compounds were prepared through a hydrodifluoromethylation process.Besides,various gem–difluoroalkenes bearing CF_(2)H group were synthesized via defluorinative reductive cross-coupling process from trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes using this new reaction system.Difluoroacetic anhydride has been then extended to other common alkyl anhydrides,and the corresponding hydroalkylation and defluoroalkylation processes have been successfully achieved.This method features broad substrate scope,good functional group tolerance as well as high efficiency.

文摘Pumpkin is of great economic importance not only as food resources but also as the most widely used rootstock to graft cucurbit crops.Pumpkin rootstock improves salt tolerance of cucumber scion through respiratory burst oxidase homolog protein D(CmRbohD)-mediated reactive oxygen species(ROS)burst,which further enhances Na^(+)export and K^(+)uptake.Rboh D activation requires calcium signaling.However,the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown.In this study,we discovered two Rboh D members from pumpkin involved in the ROS burst at the early stage of salt stress.CmRbohD1 and CmRbohD2 were functionally redundant and double mutation significantly impaired salt tolerance in pumpkin.Overexpression of CmRbohD1 and CmRbohD2 mitigated salinity-induced damage and maintained a relatively low Na+content and high K+content.We screened the potential calcineurin B-like interacting protein kinases(Cm CIPKs)which could bind with CmRbohD1 and CmRbohD2.Our results revealed that two Rboh Ds formed complexes specifically with CmCIPK1,thereby bursting ROS production.Overexpression of CmCIPK1 promoted the early ROS burst under salt stress condition and maintained a relatively balanced Na+/K+homeostasis.Altogether,we proposed a CmCIPK1-CmRbohD1/D2 complex for pumpkin salt stress signaling transduction,which regulates the ROS burst and Na+/K+homeostasis.Our findings offer unprecedented insights into the general mechanism of pumpkin salt tolerance.

文摘There is no safe level of exposure to air pollution,including particulate matter smaller than2.5μm(PM_(2.5)),to human health.Whilst it is well known that exposure to heavily polluted air is associated with several liver disorders,it is unclear how long-term exposure to lowlevel traffic-derived PM_(2.5)affects liver health.BALB/c mice(5 weeks,male)were exposed to traffic-derived PM_(2.5)(10μg/mouse/day,intranasally)daily for 4,8 and 12 weeks.Markers of inflammation and fibrosis were measured at each time point.Changes in liver proteome and lipid profiles were measured using proteomics and lipidomics at 12 weeks.Low-dose PM_(2.5)exposure increased macrophage infiltration,pro-inflammatory cytokine production,and increased collagen deposition at 12 weeks.Despite liver lipid metabolism being increased,the abundance of triglycerides,precursor diacylglycerols,and ceramide was also significantly increased by PM_(2.5)exposure,whereas glycogen content was reduced.Proteomics analysis revealed 64 proteins to be significantly changed in PM_(2.5)-exposed mice,and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis indicated their involvement in lipid metabolism,alcohol-related liver disease,neutrophil extracellular trap formation,and transcriptional dysregulation related to cancer.In conclusion,prolonged exposure to low-dose traffic-derived PM_(2.5)promotes pathological changes in the liver,suggestive of an increased risk of metabolic dysfunctionassociated fatty liver disease.Future studies can enable the identification of the signalling pathways underlying low-dose PM_(2.5)-induced lipid accumulation in the liver.
