The results show that there exists synergetic effect between ZIF-67 and NHPI. 1-Phenylethyl hydroperoxide （PEHP） was generated via a radical process involving the hydrogen abstraction from ethylbenzene by phthalimide N-oxyl, and subsequently effectively decomposed to acetophenone by ZIF-67.展开更多

文摘The Ebola virus(EBOV)is a member of the Orthoebolavirus genus,Filoviridae family,which causes severe hemorrhagic diseases in humans and non-human primates(NHPs),with a case fatality rate of up to 90%.The development of countermeasures against EBOV has been hindered by the lack of ideal animal models,as EBOV requires handling in biosafety level(BSL)-4 facilities.Therefore,accessible and convenient animal models are urgently needed to promote prophylactic and therapeutic approaches against EBOV.In this study,a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus expressing Ebola virus glycoprotein(VSV-EBOV/GP)was constructed and applied as a surrogate virus,establishing a lethal infection in hamsters.Following infection with VSV-EBOV/GP,3-week-old female Syrian hamsters exhibited disease signs such as weight loss,multi-organ failure,severe uveitis,high viral loads,and developed severe systemic diseases similar to those observed in human EBOV patients.All animals succumbed at 2–3 days post-infection(dpi).Histopathological changes indicated that VSV-EBOV/GP targeted liver cells,suggesting that the tissue tropism of VSV-EBOV/GP was comparable to wild-type EBOV(WT EBOV).Notably,the pathogenicity of the VSV-EBOV/GP was found to be species-specific,age-related,gender-associated,and challenge route-dependent.Subsequently,equine anti-EBOV immunoglobulins and a subunit vaccine were validated using this model.Overall,this surrogate model represents a safe,effective,and economical tool for rapid preclinical evaluation of medical countermeasures against EBOV under BSL-2 conditions,which would accelerate technological advances and breakthroughs in confronting Ebola virus disease.

文摘Evaluating rainwater transport patterns is critical to understanding coupled hydrological cycles.However,water movement in heterogeneous landscapes exhibits pronounced complexity,particularly as the impacts of subsurface geotechnical structures remain inadequately understood.We applied water isotope tracers to compare mobile water recharge characteristics in two humid karst hillslopes with distinct soil thicknesses(deep-soil,DSH;shallow-soil,SSH).Mobile water was collected from(1)soil water at multiple depths across downslope-to-upslope positions,and(2)lateral subsurface runoff within the soil-bedrock system at discharge outlets.The rainwater replenishment proportion(β)and mean transit time(MTT)of soil water,and evaporated fractionation(f)in runoff during consecutive rainless days were used to quantify recharge characteristics.The results showed that the mean β value in SSH was 22.49%,exceeding the 15.07%in DSH.In contrast,the soil and runoff MTT in DSH(-42.41 days)was longer than in SSH(-30.58 days).These findings indicate that SSH mobile water exhibits a higher rainwater recharge ratio but a shorter residence time,which is associated with its stronger water infiltration capacity.As supporting evidence,SSH was more susceptible to evaporation,manifested by a higher f in SSH(13.5%)compared to DSH(9.3%).In DSH,a strong correlation(R^(2)=0.78)between β and MTT was observed,whereas this relationship was weak in SSH(R^(2)=0.16).Therefore,we highlight that the high heterogeneity of shallow soil hillslopes may render infiltration-runoff processes more complex and unpredictable in karst hillslopes in Southwest China.

文摘Efficient catalytic oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone was realized using the catalytic system of cobalt zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-67/N-hydroxyphthalimide （NHPI） under mild conditions. 95.2% conversion of ethylbenzene with 90.3% selectivity to acetophenone could be obtained at 373 K under 0.3 MPa 02 for 9 h. The results show that there exists synergetic effect between ZIF-67 and NHPI. 1-Phenylethyl hydroperoxide （PEHP） was generated via a radical process involving the hydrogen abstraction from ethylbenzene by phthalimide N-oxyl, and subsequently effectively decomposed to acetophenone by ZIF-67.

文摘The solution of the intermetallic phase and the homogenization of composition are important for Mg alloy biomaterials.A single-phase Mg-6Zn alloy with the average grain size of about 20μm was prepared by ECAP processed for six passes at 320°C.It indicated that the ECAP could significantly promote the process of solid solution in Mg-Zn alloy.The results showed that complete dissolution of the intermetallic phase improved the corrosion resistance of Mg-6Zn alloy in 0.9%NaCl solution by turning the corrosion behavior into uniform corrosion and increased the hardness in combination with its smaller grain size.

文摘Background:Exercise training protects against heart failure.However,the mechanism underlying the protective effect of exercise training on angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ)-induced cardiac fibrosis remains unclear.Methods:An exercise model involving C57BL/6N mice and 6 weeks of treadmill training was used.AngⅡ(1.44 mg/kg/day)was administered to induce cardiac fibrosis.RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis were used to identify the key factors mediating the effects of exercise training on cardiac fibrosis.Primary adult mouse cardiac fibroblasts(CFs)were used in vitro.Adeno-associated virus serotype 9 was used to overexpress POU domain,class 2,transcription factor 1(POU2F1)in vivo.Results:Exercise training attenuated AngⅡ-induced cardiac fibrosis and reversed 39 gene expression changes.The transcription factor regulating the largest number of these genes was POU2F1.Compared to controls,POU2F1 was shown to be signififcantly upregulated by AngⅡ,which is itself reduced by exercise training.In vivo,POU2F1 overexpression nullified the benefits of exercise training on cardiac fibrosis.In CFs,POU2F1 promoted cardiac fibrosis.CCAAT enhancer-binding proteinβ(C/EBPβ)was predicted to be the transcription factor of POU2F1and verified using a dual-luciferase reporter assay.In vivo,exercise training activated AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)and alleviated the increase in C/EBPβinduced by AngⅡ.In CFs,AMPK agonist inhibited the increase in C/EBPβand POU2F1 induced by Ang II,whereas AMPK inhibitor reversed this effect.Conclusion:Exercise training attenuates AngⅡ-induced cardiac fibrosis by reducing POU2F1.Exercise training inhibits POU2F1 by activating AMPK,which is followed by the downregulation of C/EBPβ,the transcription factor of POU2F1.

文摘Based on the dynamic shock response of the material and structure,the hypervelocity impact processes and mechanisms of long composite rods with axial density/impedance gradients penetration into fourlayer targets were studied through experiments and numerical simulation methods.The propagation law of the shock waves,together with the structural responses of the projectiles and targets,the formation and evolution of the fragment groups formed during the processes and their distributions were described.The damage of each target plate was quantitatively analysed by comparing the results of the experiment and numerical simulation.The results showed that the axial density/impedance gradient projectiles could decrease the impact pressure to a certain extent,and the degree of damage to the target plate decreased layer by layer when the head density/impedance of the projectile was high.When the head density/impedance of the projectile was low,the degree of target damage first increased layer by layer until the projectile was completely eroded and then it decreased.The results can provide a reference for the design and application of long rods with axial composite structure for velocities ranging from 6 to 10 Ma or greater.
