However, this material suffers from a rapid capacity fade during high-voltage cycling. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the capacity fade, including intragranular fracture caused by the P2-O2 phase transion, surface structural change, and irreversible lattice oxygen release. Here we systematically investigated the morphological, structural, and chemical changes of P2-NNMO during high-voltage cycling using a variety of characterization techniques. It was found that the lattice distortion and crystal-plane buckling induced by the P2-O2 phase transition slowed down the Na-ion transport in the bulk and hindered the extraction of the Na ions. The sluggish kinetics was the main reason in reducing the accessible capacity while other interfacial degradation mechanisms played minor roles. Our results not only enabled a more complete understanding of the capacity-fading mechanism of P2-NNMO but also revealed the underlying correlations between lattice doping and the moderately improved cycle performance.展开更多

A combination of different complementary in situ techniques was used to gain insight into the behavior of Fe-based FTS catalysts during activation. In situ XRD was used to identify the crystalline structures present during both reduction in hydrogen and carburization. An increase in reduction rate was established when increasing the temperature. A complete reduction was demonstrated in the ETEM and a grain size dependency was proven, i.e. bigger grains need higher temperature in order to reduce. XPS and XAS both indicate the formation of a small amount of carbonaceous species at the surface of the bulk metallic iron during carburization.展开更多

Methods： The 25 malignancy patients confirmed by histopathology or cytology received single-agent gemcitabine or gemcitabine in combination with other chemo- therapeutic agents. These patients were randomly divided into gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on dl, d8 at a rate of 10 mg/m2/min arm （FDR arm） or 30 rain arm （standard arm）, every 21 days one cycle. Hematologic toxicity was evaluated at the end of each cycle. Results： The 13 of 25 patients received gemcitabine FDR therapy, a total of 28 cycles was completed, and 32 cycles in the others （12 of 25 patients） with the standard arm. All patients were evaluable for hematologic toxicity. The result showed that the grades 3-4 leucopenia was significantly different between the two arms （14.3% vs 0, P 〈 0.05）, and no significant differences of neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and hemoglobin suppression of grades 3-4 （14.3% vs 3.1%, 10.7% vs 3.1%, 3.6% vs 9.4%, P 〉 0.05, respectively） were observed between the two arms, no grade 4 of hemoglobin suppression was observed. Conclusion： Hematologic toxicity of gemcitabine therapy at a fixed-dose rate for malignancy is tolerable.展开更多

The research on the mechanism of moxibustion intervention in AS mainly focuses on anti-inflammatory effects, immune regulation, bone metabolism regulation, intestinal flora regulation, and so on. Molecular medicine is of great significance to further clarify the mechanism of moxibustion intervention in AS. However, there are still some problems in the research on the molecular mechanism of moxibustion intervention in AS: the existing biomedical research methods only explore from a specific field and lack the exploration of moxibustion-targeted molecules based on biomedical network. In the future, the molecular network effect of moxibustion on AS can be discussed comprehensively and systematically with the help of omics technology and the construction of biological information interaction network between omics. The effect of moxibustion on upstream osteogenic transcription factors and related signaling pathways such as WNT, β-catenin, and BMP/Smads is not yet clear. Future research can focus on the relevant signal targets of bone reconstruction and clarify the mechanism of moxibustion against the new bone formation. In addition, there is a lack of research on the molecular mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of AS from the perspective of metabolites. It is necessary to further explore the mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of AS with the help of metabonomics technology.展开更多

文摘Mobile Crowd Sensing(MCS)is an emerging paradigm that leverages sensor-equipped smart devices to collect data.The introduction of MCS also poses some challenges such as providing highquality data for upper layer MCS applications,which requires adequate participants.However,recruiting enough participants to provide the sensing data for free is hard for the MCS platform under a limited budget,which may lead to a low coverage ratio of sensing area.This paper proposes a novel method to choose participants uniformly distributed in a specific sensing area based on the mobility patterns of mobile users.The method consists of two steps:(1)A second-order Markov chain is used to predict the next positions of users,and select users whose next places are in the target sensing area to form a candidate pool.(2)The Average Entropy(DAE)is proposed to measure the distribution of participants.The participant maximizing the DAE value of a specific sensing area with different granular sub-areas is chosen to maximize the coverage ratio of the sensing area.Experimental results show that the proposed method can maximize the coverage ratio of a sensing area under different partition granularities.

文摘With the rapid development of 5G information technology,thermal conductivity/dissipation problems of highly integrated electronic devices and electrical equipment are becoming prominent.In this work,“high-temperature solid-phase&diazonium salt decomposition”method is carried out to prepare benzidine-functionalized boron nitride(m-BN).Subsequently,m-BN/poly(pphenylene benzobisoxazole)nanofiber(PNF)nanocomposite paper with nacremimetic layered structures is prepared via sol–gel film transformation approach.The obtained m-BN/PNF nanocomposite paper with 50 wt%m-BN presents excellent thermal conductivity,incredible electrical insulation,outstanding mechanical properties and thermal stability,due to the construction of extensive hydrogen bonds andπ–πinteractions between m-BN and PNF,and stable nacre-mimetic layered structures.Itsλ∥andλ_(⊥)are 9.68 and 0.84 W m^(-1)K^(-1),and the volume resistivity and breakdown strength are as high as 2.3×10^(15)Ωcm and 324.2 kV mm^(-1),respectively.Besides,it also presents extremely high tensile strength of 193.6 MPa and thermal decomposition temperature of 640°C,showing a broad application prospect in high-end thermal management fields such as electronic devices and electrical equipment.

文摘Highly-efficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurtural(HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA) at low temperature with air as the oxidant is still challenging.Herein,inspired by the respirato ry electron transport chain(ETC) of living cells mediated by electron carriers,we constructed artificial ETCs and transformed liquid flow fuel cells(LFFCs) to flexible reactors for efficient oxidation of HMF to produce FDCA under mild conditions.This LFFC reactor employed an electrodeposition modified nickel foam as an anode to promote HMF oxidation and(VO_(2))_(2)SO_(4) as a cathode electron carrier to facilitate the electron transfer to air.The reaction rate could be easily controlled by selecting the anode catalyst,adjusting the external loading and changing the cathodic electron carrier or oxidants.A maximal power density of 44.9 mW cm^(-2) at room temperature was achieved,while for FDCA production,short-circuit condition was preferred to achieve quick transfer of electrons.For a single batch operation with 0.1 M initial HMF,FDCA yield reached 97.1%.By fed-batch operation,FDCA concentration reached 144.5 g L^(-1) with a total yield of 96%.Ni^(2+)/Ni^(3+) redox couple was the active species mediating the electron transfer,while both experimental and DFT calculation results indicated that HMFCA pathway was the preferred reaction mechanism.

文摘Objective： The aim of the study was to compare the hematologic toxicity of gemcitabine between fixed-dose rate （FDR） infusion and 30-minute standard infusion in the treatment of malignancy. Methods： The 25 malignancy patients confirmed by histopathology or cytology received single-agent gemcitabine or gemcitabine in combination with other chemo- therapeutic agents. These patients were randomly divided into gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on dl, d8 at a rate of 10 mg/m2/min arm （FDR arm） or 30 rain arm （standard arm）, every 21 days one cycle. Hematologic toxicity was evaluated at the end of each cycle. Results： The 13 of 25 patients received gemcitabine FDR therapy, a total of 28 cycles was completed, and 32 cycles in the others （12 of 25 patients） with the standard arm. All patients were evaluable for hematologic toxicity. The result showed that the grades 3-4 leucopenia was significantly different between the two arms （14.3% vs 0, P 〈 0.05）, and no significant differences of neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and hemoglobin suppression of grades 3-4 （14.3% vs 3.1%, 10.7% vs 3.1%, 3.6% vs 9.4%, P 〉 0.05, respectively） were observed between the two arms, no grade 4 of hemoglobin suppression was observed. Conclusion： Hematologic toxicity of gemcitabine therapy at a fixed-dose rate for malignancy is tolerable.
文摘To study the effect ofrhein on embryo development of rats and fetuscs,the SD rats were divided into rhein(87.5,175 and 350 mg/kg)group and negative control group treated with 0.5%CMC(carboxyl methyl cellulose).The rats were administrated with rhein daily for 10 days from 6th to 15th day after pregnancy.The pregnancy rats were dissected at 20th day after pregnancy.The total weight of the fetuses,the number of corpus luteum,plant gland,absorbed fetus,live fetus,dead futus,monsters,body weight,body height and tail length were recorded.Compared with the control group,rhein group occurred with the administration of toxicity-related clinical symptoms.The changes in weight increase related with the amount ofrhein(P〈0.05)and the increased number of absorbed fetuses in each rhein group(P〈0.05)were presented.Obvious differences occurred in the rhein groups in terms of the incidence of visceral abnormalities,each organ abnormalities and fossa malformations,etc.(P〈0.05).Compared with the control group,there was no significant difference in the low-dose group by fetal rat bone examination(P〉0.05),while the remaining dose groups manifested various bone deformities such as sternum sections missing,incomplete ossification of the skull and thoracic vertebrae separation or deformation,which was obviously different from the control group(P〈0.01).Rhein had a significant effect on the reproductive function of pregnant rats.It can even result in the bones'and internal organs'dysplasia of fetal rats.Rhein has a significant teratogenic effect in rats.

文摘As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing technology, moxibustion plays a unique role in improving the symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The research on the mechanism of moxibustion intervention in AS mainly focuses on anti-inflammatory effects, immune regulation, bone metabolism regulation, intestinal flora regulation, and so on. Molecular medicine is of great significance to further clarify the mechanism of moxibustion intervention in AS. However, there are still some problems in the research on the molecular mechanism of moxibustion intervention in AS: the existing biomedical research methods only explore from a specific field and lack the exploration of moxibustion-targeted molecules based on biomedical network. In the future, the molecular network effect of moxibustion on AS can be discussed comprehensively and systematically with the help of omics technology and the construction of biological information interaction network between omics. The effect of moxibustion on upstream osteogenic transcription factors and related signaling pathways such as WNT, β-catenin, and BMP/Smads is not yet clear. Future research can focus on the relevant signal targets of bone reconstruction and clarify the mechanism of moxibustion against the new bone formation. In addition, there is a lack of research on the molecular mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of AS from the perspective of metabolites. It is necessary to further explore the mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of AS with the help of metabonomics technology.

文摘Alzheimer's disease is characterized by deposition of amyloid-β,which forms extracellular neuritic plaques,and accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau,which aggregates to form intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles,in the brain.The NLRP3 inflammasome may play a role in the transition from amyloid-βdeposition to tau phosphorylation and aggregation.Because NLRP3 is primarily found in brain microglia,and tau is predominantly located in neurons,it has been suggested that NLRP3 expressed by microglia indirectly triggers tau phosphorylation by upregulating the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.Here,we found that neurons also express NLRP3 in vitro and in vivo,and that neuronal NLRP3 regulates tau phosphorylation.Using biochemical methods,we mapped the minimal NLRP3 promoter and identified FUBP3 as a transcription factor regulating NLRP3 expression in neurons.In primary neurons and the neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2A,FUBP3 is required for endogenous NLRP3 expression and tau phosphorylation only when amyloid-βis present.In the brains of aged wild-type mice and a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease,FUBP3 expression was markedly increased in cortical neurons.Transcriptome analysis suggested that FUBP3 plays a role in neuron-mediated immune responses.We also found that FUBP3 trimmed the 5′end of DNA fragments that it bound,implying that FUBP3 functions in stress-induced responses.These findings suggest that neuronal NLRP3 may be more directly involved in the amyloid-β-to–phospho-tau transition than microglial NLRP3,and that amyloid-βfundamentally alters the regulatory mechanism of NLRP3 expression in neurons.Given that FUBP3 was only expressed at low levels in young wild-type mice and was strongly upregulated in the brains of aged mice and Alzheimer's disease mice,FUBP3 could be a safe therapeutic target for preventing Alzheimer's disease progression.

文摘Milk-derived extracellular vesicles(EVs)are promising for oral drug delivery,yet different loading methods exhibit distinct impacts on drug encapsulation and membrane integrity.This study demonstrated that sonication method achieved high drug encapsulation in commercial milk-derived EVs(S-CM EVs),but impaired EV structure,compromising transcytosis.Incubation method(I-CM EVs)preserved EVs delivery ability,but had low drug loading.Further proteomic and transmembrane studies showed that sonication greatly damaged membrane proteins involved in trans-epithelial transportation,especially endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi pathway.To overcome this dilemma,we generated a hybrid CM EVs(H-CM EVs)by fusing I-CM EVs and S-CM EVs.H-CM EVs demonstrated comparable drug encapsulation to S-CM EVs(56.14%),significantly higher than I-CM EVs(11.92%).Importantly,H-CM EVs could maintain efficient drug delivery capability by restoring membrane fluidity,repairing damaged proteins,and enhancing enzyme resistance of SCM EVs.H-CM EVs exhibited excellent absorption characteristics with 1.85-fold higher of area under the curve and 2.50-fold higher of max plasma concentration than those of SCM EVs.On typeⅠdiabetic mice,orally delivery of insulin loaded H-CM EVs and I-CM EVs showed improved hypoglycemic effects with pharmacological availabilities of 5.15%and 5.31%,which was 1.7-fold higher than that of S-CM EVs(3.00%).This H-CM EVs platform not only achieved high drug loading and maintained functionality for effective oral delivery but also highlighted the significant translational potential for improved clinical outcomes.

文摘Under the current medical education reform,the“clinical-research”model for TCM master’s degrees is a key approach to advancing the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.With the core of“dual-track integration,”this model aims to enhance both clinical practice and research abilities simultaneously.However,ten years of practice have shown that it still faces multiple challenges:an imbalance between clinical rotation time and research investment,deeply rooted attitudes that prioritize clinical work over research,insufficient TCM research resources and fragmented platforms,and poor coordination between policy and teaching design.These issues,particularly the methodological differences between TCM experience-based medicine and modern evidence-based medicine,further complicate the integration of clinical and research efforts.Therefore,there is an urgent need to promote the deep integration of research training into clinical practice through system design,value orientation,and evaluation systems,fostering a new ecological environment where clinical and research efforts thrive together.This will help cultivate TCM professionals with both strong clinical skills and innovative research capabilities,providing sustained momentum for the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine.
