We found that HA＋GA significantly improved pathology and morphology of the nucleus and ultrastructure of H9c2 cells under OGD as determined by Hoechst 33342 staining and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） tests. It also reduced the releases of lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）, creatine kinase-myocardial band isoenzyme （CK-MB）, and aspartate transaminase （AST） from the cultured supernatant of H9c2 cells, which were tested by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay （ELISA） kits. In addition, it lessened the apoptotic rate as determined by a fluorescein isothiocyanate-annexin V/propidium iodide （FITC-AV/PI） double staining assay. It was also found that HA＋GA might regulate the protein expression associated with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/Akt signaling pathway. Overall, the study demonstrated that HA＋GA protected H9c2 cells against OGD-induced injury, and the signaling mechanism might be related to the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.展开更多

Herein, the two kinds of thiophene-based covalent organic frameworks(COFs) with different morphologies were synthesized by solvothermal reaction using thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2,5-dicarbaldehyde(TT) as the aldehyde monomer and tri(4-aminophenyl)benzene(PB) or tris(4-aminophenyl)amine(PA) as the amino monomer(denoted as PB-TT COF and PA-TT COF) and the as-prepared two heteroatoms-rich COFs possessed many excellent properties,including high thermal stability and abundant binding sites. Among them, PB-TT COF exhibited ultra-high iodine uptake up to 5.97 g/g in vapor, surpassing most of adsorbents previously reported, which was ascribed to its high specific surface(1305.3 m2/g). Interestingly, PA-TT COF with low specific surface(48.6m2/g) showed good adsorption ability for iodine in cyclohexane solution with uptake value of 750 mg/g,which was 2.38 times higher than that obtained with PB-TT COF due to its unique sheet-like morphology.Besides, the two COFs possessed good reusability, high selectivity and iodine retention ability. Based on experimental results, the adsorption mechanisms of both COFs were studied, revealing that iodine was captured by the physical-chemical adsorption. Furthermore, the both COFs showed excellent adsorption ability in real radioactive seawater treated safely, demonstrating their great potential in real environment.展开更多

The features and genetic mechanism of the deformations were analyzed after a detailed field observation of their distribution, geometry, and kinematics. In addition, the time sequences of the thrust and extensional structures were determined by combining the results of the comparative analysis with the chronological evidence of strata and magmatic rocks cut by a fault or formed after a fault according to field facts. This study identified three stages of the nappe structures and at least two stages of the extensional structures during the Mesozoic. The geotectonic setting of the nappe and extensional structures was considered to be related to the different geodynamics in the study area including the Early Mesozoic geological event, i.e., N-S compression, forming Lantian fault, etc.;the Late Mesozoic flat-slab subduction, forming Xiaoxi thrust fault and tectonic window;and the roll-back of the paleoPacific Plate, forming extensional structures like basin marginal fault;the last compression, forming Wucheng-Shenxian fault. These findings provide additional evidence for remodeling the tectonic and geodynamic evolution of Southeast China.展开更多

文摘Waterborne polyurethane(WPU)is attracting widespread attention in the friction field,but pure WPU cannot meet the wear resistance requirements due to poor thermal and self-lubricating properties.Herein,a novel cellulose/BNNSs-AgNPs aerogel(CBAg)composed of zero-dimensional silver nanoparticles(AgNPs),onedimensional cellulose and two-dimensional boron nitride nanosheets(BNNSs)was successfully fabricated.Specifically,AgNPs were loaded onto the surface of BNNSs,which could serve as bridges to connect adjacent BNNSs.Cellulose was used to construct a 3D skeleton structure for stabilizing better dispersion of inorganic fillers.Finally,the thermal and tribological properties of CBAg-WPU were improved compared to pure WPU,with a 69%increase in thermal conductivity and an 89%reduction in wear rate.This was attributed to the load-bearing capacity of cellulose and outstanding thermal and lubricant capability of BNNSs-AgNPs.In addition,BNNSs and AgNPs inside the aerogel were transferred to the sliding interface and participated in the formation of high-quality friction transfer film,further endowing CBAg-WPU composites prominent tribological performance.Therefore,the novel design of 3D hybrid aerogels provided a promising avenue to improve the tribological performance of WPU composites.

文摘Integrated-energy systems(IESs)are key to advancing renewable-energy utilization and addressing environmental challenges.Key components of IESs include low-carbon,economic dispatch and demand response,for maximizing renewable-energy consumption and supporting sustainable-energy systems.User participation is central to demand response;however,many users are not inclined to engage actively;therefore,the full potential of demand response remains unrealized.User satisfaction must be prioritized in demand-response assessments.This study proposed a two-stage,capacity-optimization configuration method for user-level energy systems con-sidering thermal inertia and user satisfaction.This method addresses load coordination and complementary issues within the IES and seeks to minimize the annual,total cost for determining equipment capacity configurations while introducing models for system thermal inertia and user satisfaction.Indoor heating is adjusted,for optimizing device output and load profiles,with a focus on typical,daily,economic,and environmental objectives.The studyfindings indicate that the system thermal inertia optimizes energy-system scheduling considering user satisfaction.This optimization mitigates environmental concerns and enhances clean-energy integration.

文摘On-chip devices for generating pre-designed vectorial optical fields(VOFs)under surface wave(SW)excitations are highly desired in integrated photonics.However,conventional devices are usually of large footprints,low efficiencies,and limited wave-control capabilities.Here,we present a generic approach to design ultra-compact on-chip devices that can efficiently generate pre-designed VOFs under SW excitations,and experimentally verify the concept in terahertz(THz)regime.We first describe how to design SW-excitation metasurfaces for generating circularly polarized complex beams,and experimentally demonstrate two meta-devices to realize directional emission and focusing of THz waves with oppo-site circular polarizations,respectively.We then establish a systematic approach to construct an integrated device via merging two carefully designed metasurfaces,which,under SW excitations,can separately produce pre-designed far-field patterns with different circular polarizations and generate target VOF based on their interference.As a proof of con-cept,we demonstrate experimentally a meta-device that can generate a radially polarized Bessel beam under SW excita-tion at~0.4 THz.Experimental results agree well with full-wave simulations,collectively verifying the performance of our device.Our study paves the road to realizing highly integrated on-chip functional THz devices,which may find many ap-plications in biological sensing,communications,displays,image multiplexing,and beyond.
文摘Objective:To understand the current situation of career planning awareness and readiness of freshman medical students with a background in digital medicine,and to provide references for optimizing the medical education system and career guidance.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted on freshman medical students at a university in Yunnan Province using questionnaire survey.Results:A total of 272 questionnaires were distributed and 264 valid questionnaires were returned,yielding an effective response rate of 97.10%.The average score of digital medical awareness of freshman medical students was(70.50±8.81),and 63.63%of the students had a high awareness(score≧70);The average score of career planning awareness and readiness of freshman medical students was(91.76±14.87),and 60.63%of students had high awareness and readiness(score≧90).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total score of digital medical awareness was positively correlated with the total score of career planning awareness and readiness(r=0.13,P<0.05).Conclusion:Freshman medical students’career planning awareness and readiness are generally good,but their practical application of digital medical-related skills still needs improvement.It is suggested that schools strengthen the integration of interdisciplinary curriculum,introduce digital vocational training modules,and formulate differentiated guidance strategies for different majors to enhance students’professional competitiveness in the digital medical era.

文摘With the widespread application of global navigation satellite system(GNSS),spoofing attacks pose a threat to the security and reliability of GNSS.It is of great significance to design effective GNSS spoofing detection technology to ensure the security and reliability of GNSS system applications for receiver users.Traditional spoofing detection techniques generally only determine whether a spoofing attack has occurred by monitoring the feature changes of one or two data information in the receiver.However,some spoofing modes can cleverly make the monitored data very close to the real data,thus avoiding these detection methods and easily making them ineffective.In this study,a GNSS spoofing jamming detection method based on hybrid kernel relevance vector machine(RVM)is proposed.The improved signal quality monitoring(SQM)movement variance,carrier noise ratio movement variance,pseudo range Doppler consistency,pseudorange residual,Doppler frequency,clock offset and clock drift are used as detection characteristics.This technology can detect GNSS spoofing signals,effectively improving the safety and reliability of GNSS systems.The experimental results show that this technology has high detection accuracy and anti-interference ability and can effectively respond to various forms of spoofing attacks.

文摘The isotope effect on zonal flows(ZFs)and turbulence remains a key issue that is not completely solved in fusion plasmas.This paper presents the first experimental results of the ab initio prediction of causal relation between geodesic acoustic mode(GAM)and ambient turbulence at different isotope masses in the edge of HL-2A tokamak,where transfer entropy method based on information-theoretical approach is utilized as a quantified indicator of causality.Analysis shows that GAM is more pronounced in deuterium plasmas than in hydrogen,leading to a lower heat transport as well as more peaked profiles in the former situation.The causal impact of GAM on conductive heat flux component is stronger than on the convective component,which is resulted from a larger causal influence of zonal flow on temperature fluctuation.While a stronger GAM in deuterium plasmas has larger influence on all flux components,the relative change in temperature fluctuation and coefficient is more obvious when the ion mass varies.These findings not only offer an in-depth understanding of the real causality between zonal flow and turbulence in the present isotope experiments,but also provide useful ways for the physical understandings of transport and zonal flow dynamics in future deuterium-tritium fusion plasmas.

文摘This study investigated the protective effect of the compatibility of hypaconitine （HA） and glycyrrhetinic acid （GA） on H9c2 cells under oxygen and glucose deprivation （OGD）-induced injury, and the possible mechanisms. We found that HA＋GA significantly improved pathology and morphology of the nucleus and ultrastructure of H9c2 cells under OGD as determined by Hoechst 33342 staining and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） tests. It also reduced the releases of lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）, creatine kinase-myocardial band isoenzyme （CK-MB）, and aspartate transaminase （AST） from the cultured supernatant of H9c2 cells, which were tested by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay （ELISA） kits. In addition, it lessened the apoptotic rate as determined by a fluorescein isothiocyanate-annexin V/propidium iodide （FITC-AV/PI） double staining assay. It was also found that HA＋GA might regulate the protein expression associated with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/Akt signaling pathway. Overall, the study demonstrated that HA＋GA protected H9c2 cells against OGD-induced injury, and the signaling mechanism might be related to the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

文摘Development of adsorbent materials for highly efficient iodine capture is high demand from the perspective of ecological environment and human health. Herein, the two kinds of thiophene-based covalent organic frameworks(COFs) with different morphologies were synthesized by solvothermal reaction using thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2,5-dicarbaldehyde(TT) as the aldehyde monomer and tri(4-aminophenyl)benzene(PB) or tris(4-aminophenyl)amine(PA) as the amino monomer(denoted as PB-TT COF and PA-TT COF) and the as-prepared two heteroatoms-rich COFs possessed many excellent properties,including high thermal stability and abundant binding sites. Among them, PB-TT COF exhibited ultra-high iodine uptake up to 5.97 g/g in vapor, surpassing most of adsorbents previously reported, which was ascribed to its high specific surface(1305.3 m2/g). Interestingly, PA-TT COF with low specific surface(48.6m2/g) showed good adsorption ability for iodine in cyclohexane solution with uptake value of 750 mg/g,which was 2.38 times higher than that obtained with PB-TT COF due to its unique sheet-like morphology.Besides, the two COFs possessed good reusability, high selectivity and iodine retention ability. Based on experimental results, the adsorption mechanisms of both COFs were studied, revealing that iodine was captured by the physical-chemical adsorption. Furthermore, the both COFs showed excellent adsorption ability in real radioactive seawater treated safely, demonstrating their great potential in real environment.
文摘Background context:Metastatic spinal cord compression(MSCC)seriously affects the survival rate.Objective:The therapeutic effects of two treatment strategies for MSCC:percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)combined with radiofrequency ablation(RFA)and PVP combined with^(125)I particle implantation,were compared.Study design:Retrospective study.Patient sample:40 patients with MSCC were divided into two groups:19 cases in the RFA group and 21 cases in the^(125)I group.Method:All patients were accessed to determine the differences in pain,which was evaluated using the visual analog scale(VAS)at 1 week,1 month,and 3 months after the operation,and spinal stenosis rates(SSRs),which were measured at 1 and 3 months after the operation,between the two groups.Results:The VAS scores and SSRs at baseline were comparable between the RFA group and the^(125)I group(7.19±2.07 vs 7.42±1.95,37.7%±11.2%vs 41.1%±11.4%).The VAS scores and SSRs at 1 month and 3 months after the operation were significantly reduced in both groups,compared with those at baseline.The VAS scores and SSRs in the^(125)I group were lower than those in the RFA group at 3 months after the operation(1.09±0.97 vs 1.75±1.06 p=0.048 and 12.3%±6.4%vs 18.1%±10.1%p=0.034),while the VAS scores at1 week after the operation in the RFA group were lower than those in the^(125)I group(4.39±1.34 vs 5.05±1.82 p=0.049).Conclusion:PVP combined with RFA has a slight advantage in relieving pain in the short term,while PVP combined with^(125)I particle implantation may have a better effect in the relieving pain and decreasing the SSRs at 3 months after the operation.

文摘Background:Until January 18,2021,coronavirus disease-2019(COVID-19)has infected more than 93 million individuals and has caused a certain degree of panic.Viral pneumonia caused by common viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus,rhinovirus,human metapneumovirus,human bocavirus,and parainfluenza viruses have been more common in children.However,the incidence of COVID-19 in children was significantly lower than that in adults.The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical manifestations,treatment and outcomes of COVID-19 in children compared with those of other sources of viral pneumonia diagnosed during the COVID-19 outbreak.Methods:Children with COVID-19 and viral pneumonia admitted to 20 hospitals were enrolled in this retrospective multi-center cohort study.A total of 64 children with COVID-19 were defined as the COVID-19 cohort,of which 40 children who developed pneumonia were defined as the COVID-19 pneumonia cohort.Another 284 children with pneumonia caused by other viruses were defined as the viral pneumonia cohort.The epidemiologic,clinical,and laboratory findings were compared by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test,t-test,Mann-Whitney U test and Contingency table method.Drug usage,immunotherapy,blood transfusion,and need for oxygen support were collected as the treatment indexes.Mortality,intensive care needs and symptomatic duration were collected as the outcome indicators.Results:Compared with the viral pneumonia cohort,children in the COVID-19 cohort were mostly exposed to family members confirmed to have COVID-19(53/64 vs.23/284),were of older median age(6.3 years vs.3.2 years),and had a higher proportion of ground-glass opacity(GGO)on computed tomography(18/40 vs.0/38,P<0.001).Children in the COVID-19 pneumonia cohort had a lower proportion of severe cases(1/40 vs.38/284,P=0.048),and lower cases with high fever(3/40 vs.167/284,P<0.001),requiring intensive care(1/40 vs.32/284,P<0.047)and with shorter symptomatic duration(median 5d vs.8d,P<0.001).The proportion of cases with evaluated inflammatory indicators,biochemical indicators related to organ or tissue damage,D-dimer and secondary bacterial infection were lower in the COVID-19 pneumonia cohort than those in the viral pneumonia cohort(P<0.05).No statistical differences were found in the duration of positive PCR results from pharyngeal swabs in 25 children with COVID-19 who received antiviral drugs(lopinavir-ritonavir,ribavirin,and arbidol)as compared with duration in 39 children without antiviral therapy(median 10d vs.9d,P=0.885).Conclusions:The symptoms and severity of COVID-19 pneumonia in children were no more severe than those in children with other viral pneumonia.Lopinavir-ritonavir,ribavirin and arbidol do not shorten the duration of positive PCR results from pharyngeal swabs in children with COVID-19.During the COVID-19 outbreak,attention also must be given to children with infection by other pathogens infection.
文摘Multi-stage Mesozoic thrust-nappe and extensional structures are distributed in the east segment of the Southeast Yangtze Block situated in the junction region of Zhejiang-Jiangxi-Anhui provinces. The features and genetic mechanism of the deformations were analyzed after a detailed field observation of their distribution, geometry, and kinematics. In addition, the time sequences of the thrust and extensional structures were determined by combining the results of the comparative analysis with the chronological evidence of strata and magmatic rocks cut by a fault or formed after a fault according to field facts. This study identified three stages of the nappe structures and at least two stages of the extensional structures during the Mesozoic. The geotectonic setting of the nappe and extensional structures was considered to be related to the different geodynamics in the study area including the Early Mesozoic geological event, i.e., N-S compression, forming Lantian fault, etc.;the Late Mesozoic flat-slab subduction, forming Xiaoxi thrust fault and tectonic window;and the roll-back of the paleoPacific Plate, forming extensional structures like basin marginal fault;the last compression, forming Wucheng-Shenxian fault. These findings provide additional evidence for remodeling the tectonic and geodynamic evolution of Southeast China.

文摘Gibberellin(GA)is one of the major plant hormones that promote parthenocarpy,a highly valuable agronomic trait.Here,we demonstrated that exogenous GA3application triggered the formation of parthenocarpic fruits with smaller size but unchanged shape in tomato(Solanum lycopersicum).These fruits exhibited a thicker pericarp,undeveloped ovules,and few jelly tissues,leading to smaller locules with empty cavities.Histological investigation showed that GA treatment produced more cell layers with larger cells in the pericarp,suggesting its promotion in both cell division and expansion.Transcriptomic analyses between GA-3and mock-treated unpollinated ovaries/fruits identified a large number of differentially expressed genes related to hormones,cell division,cell expansion,and transcription factors,implying that they coordinately regulated parthenocarpy conferred by GA.In particular,the downregulation of five reported repressors of tomato parthenocarpy,including two auxin signaling components,AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR5(SlARF5)and Sl ARF7,and three MADS-box genes,TOMATO APETALA3(TAP3),TOMATO PISTILLATA(TPI),and AGAMOUS-LIKE6(SlAGL6),after GA treatment might play a key role in this process.Furthermore,we found that the knockdown of a GA signaling factor SlMYB33,which was depressed by GA treatment,induced parthenocarpic fruit set in tomato,an effect that might have been achieved by enhancing GA biosynthesis and decreasing the expression of some repressors of tomato parthenocarpy.Thus,our results provide a basis for understanding the regulatory mechanism of GA in tomato parthenocarpy.
