文摘Osteoporosis is a prevalent skeletal condition characterized by reduced bone mass and strength,leading to increased fragility.Buqi-Tongluo(BQTL)decoction,a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)prescription,has yet to be fully evaluated for its potential in treating bone diseases such as osteoporosis.To investigate the mechanism by which BQTL decoction inhibits osteoclast differentiation in vitro and validate these findings through in vivo experiments.We employed MTS assays to assess the potential proliferative or toxic effects of BQTL on bone marrow macrophages(BMMs)at various concentrations.TRAc P experiments were conducted to examine BQTL's impact on osteoclast differentiation.RT-PCR and Western blot analyses were utilized to evaluate the relative expression levels of osteoclast-specific genes and proteins under BQTL stimulation.Finally,in vivo experiments were performed using an osteoporosis model to further validate the in vitro findings.This study revealed that BQTL suppressed receptor activator of NF-κB ligand(RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast resorption activity in vitro in a dose-dependent manner without observable cytotoxicity.The inhibitory effects of BQTL on osteoclast formation and function were attributed to the downregulation of NFATc1 and c-fos activity,primarily through attenuation of the MAPK,NF-κB,and Calcineurin signaling pathways.BQTL's inhibitory capacity was further examined in vivo using an ovariectomized(OVX)rat model,demonstrating a strong protective effect against bone loss.BQTL may serve as an effective therapeutic TCM for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis and the alleviation of bone loss induced by estrogen deficiency and related conditions.

文摘Superhydrophobic surface is a promising strategy for antibacterial and corrosion protection.However,the use of harmful fluorine-containing materials,poor mechano-chemical stability,the addition of fungicides and poor corrosion resistance often limit its practical application.In this paper,a high-robustness pho-tothermal self-healing superhydrophobic coating is prepared by simply spraying a mixture of hydropho-bically modified epoxy resin and two kinds of modified nanofillers(carbon nanotubes and SiO2)for long-term anticorrosion and antibacterial applications.Multi-scale network and lubrication structures formed by cross-linking of modified carbon nanotubes and repeatable roughness endow coating with high ro-bustness,so that the coating maintains superhydrophobicity even after 100 Taber abrasion cycles,20 m sandpaper abrasion and 100 tape peeling cycles.The synergistic effect of antibacterial adhesion and pho-tothermal bactericidal activity endows coating with excellent antibacterial efficiency,which against Es-cherichia coli(E.coli)and Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus)separately reaches 99.6% and 99.8%.Moreover,the influence of modified epoxy resin,superhydrophobicity,organic coating and coating thicknesses on the anticorrosion of magnesium(Mg)alloy is systematically studied and analyzed.More importantly,the prepared coating still exhibits excellent self-cleaning,anticorrosion and antibacterial abilities after 20 m abrasion.Furthermore,the coating exhibits excellent adhesion(level 4B),chemical stability,UV radiation resistance,high-low temperature alternation resistance,stable heat production capacity and photother-mal self-healing ability.All these excellent performances can promote its application in a wider range of fields.

文摘Alzheimer's disease,the primary cause of dementia,is characterized by neuropathologies,such as amyloid plaques,synaptic and neuronal degeneration,and neurofibrillary tangles.Although amyloid plaques are the primary characteristic of Alzheimer's disease in the central nervous system and peripheral organs,targeting amyloid-beta clearance in the central nervous system has shown limited clinical efficacy in Alzheimer's disease treatment.Metabolic abnormalities are commonly observed in patients with Alzheimer's disease.The liver is the primary peripheral organ involved in amyloid-beta metabolism,playing a crucial role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease.Notably,impaired cholesterol metabolism in the liver may exacerbate the development of Alzheimer's disease.In this review,we explore the underlying causes of Alzheimer's disease and elucidate the role of the liver in amyloid-beta clearance and cholesterol metabolism.Furthermore,we propose that restoring normal cholesterol metabolism in the liver could represent a promising therapeutic strategy for addressing Alzheimer's disease.

文摘Memristive crossbar arrays(MCAs)offer parallel data storage and processing for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing.However,most wafer-scale MCAs that are compatible with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS)technology still suffer from substantially larger energy consumption than biological synapses,due to the slow kinetics of forming conductive paths inside the memristive units.Here we report wafer-scale Ag_(2)S-based MCAs realized using CMOS-compatible processes at temperatures below 160℃.Ag_(2)S electrolytes supply highly mobile Ag+ions,and provide the Ag/Ag_(2)S interface with low silver nucleation barrier to form silver filaments at low energy costs.By further enhancing Ag+migration in Ag_(2)S electrolytes via microstructure modulation,the integrated memristors exhibit a record low threshold of approximately−0.1 V,and demonstrate ultra-low switching-energies reaching femtojoule values as observed in biological synapses.The low-temperature process also enables MCA integration on polyimide substrates for applications in flexible electronics.Moreover,the intrinsic nonidealities of the memristive units for deep learning can be compensated by employing an advanced training algorithm.An impressive accuracy of 92.6%in image recognition simulations is demonstrated with the MCAs after the compensation.The demonstrated MCAs provide a promising device option for neuromorphic computing with ultra-high energy-efficiency.

文摘BACKGROUND Fracture nonunion represents a challenging complication during fracture repair,often necessitating surgical intervention.Teriparatide,a recombinant human parathyroid hormone,has demonstrated promise in enhancing fracture healing,although its efficacy in treating established nonunion remains under investigation.CASE SUMMARY We report a case of a 27-year-old male who presented with a right humerus fracture following a traffic accident.Despite undergoing open reduction and internal fixation,the fracture resulted in a delayed union and subsequent nonunion.After 4 years of conservative management,teriparatide treatment was initiated due to persistent nonunion.Teriparatide injections were administered daily for 6 months,resulting in complete fracture healing and resolution of pain.CONCLUSION Our case demonstrates the successful use of teriparatide in treating a prolonged nonunion of a humerus fracture.Teriparatide may provide a valuable therapeutic option for established bone nonunion,even in cases that have not responded to conservative treatments.

文摘Based on the detrital zircon U-Pb dating data,this paper discusses the provenance and constructs source-to-sink system of the Upper Jurassic in the North Yellow Sea Basin(NYSB),eastern North China Craton(ENCC).In addition,to avoid the bias of detrital zircon ages caused by variations in zircon fertility,we collected 1709 whole rock zirconium content values(ppm)from granitic rocks with different ages in the North China Craton(NCC).Based on mean Zr content of granitic rocks in each age,these granitic rocks can be divided into four groups:Group A consists of Jurassic,Group B consists of Paleozoic,Neo-Mesoproterozoic and Neoarchean,Group C consists of Early Cretaceous and Triassic,and Group D consists of Paleoproterozoic.This research assigns to these groups zircon fertility factors(ZFF)of 1,1.4,1.8 and 2.2.The U-Pb age of detrital zircons from Late Jurassic sediments corrected by ZFF is statistically analyzed(K-S test,similarity,crosscorrelation,linkeness,and multidimensional scaling).And combining with paleocurrent and paleogeography,we construct two source-to-sink systems:(1)Jiaodong uplift and Sulu Orogenic Belt as the source area and the North Yellow Sea Basin as the sink area;(2)Liaodong Peninsula as the source area and the North Yellow Sea Basin as the sink area.

文摘Although the application of straw decomposing microorganism inoculants(SDMI)can accelerate straw decomposition,the underlying mechanisms affecting soil organic carbon(SOC)under different scenarios remain unclear.We conducted a meta-analysis using 226 observations from 86 studies on SOC changes under straw return with or without SDMI applications.Overall,our results indicated that straw with SDMI application increased the SOC stock by 1.51%at an initial carbon-to-nitrogen ratio(ICNR)>25(P<0.05),while the effect of ICNR≤25was insignificant.In particular,at ICNR>25,application of SDMI-treated straw increased SOC stocks in northern temperate continental areas(NTC)higher than in subtropical monsoon regions(STM).Furthermore,the straw with SDMI application increased higher SOC stocks in soils with pH>7.5 than those with pH≤7.5.In terms of agricultural management practices,SOC stocks were significantly higher in straw buried(SB),the experimental duration of straw return(EDSR)≥1 year,the straw return amount(SRA)>6,000 kg ha^(–1),and the SDMI application rate(SDMIR)>30 kg ha^(–1)conditions.The effect of straw with SDMI on SOC stocks under straw burying(SB)was significantly higher than that under straw mulching(SM)at ICNR≤25.At ICNR>25,EDSR,SDMIR,and the mean annual precipitation(MAP)were the main drivers of the effect of SDMI addition to straw on SOC stocks.Straw with SDMI induced SOC stock increases which increased with EDSR and decreased with increasing MAP.These findings provide a scientific basis for decision-makers and stakeholders to improve soil C management via the application of SDMI-amended straw at both regional and large scales.

文摘The operation furnace profile for the high heat load zone was one of the important factors affecting the stable and high-quality production of the blast furnace,but it was difficult to monitor directly.To address this issue,an online calculation model for the operation furnace profile was proposed based on a dual-driven approach combining data and mechanisms,by integrating mechanism experiment,numerical simulation,and machine learning.The experimentally determined slag layer hanging temperature was 1130℃,and the thermal conductivity ranged from 1.32 to 1.96 m^(2)℃^(-1).Based on the 3D slag-hanging numerical simulation model,a database was constructed,containing 2294 sets of mechanism cases for the slag layer.The fusion of data modeling,heat transfer theory,and expert experience enabled the online calculation of key input variables for the operation furnace profile,particularly the quantification of the“black-box”variable of gas temperature.Simulated data were used as inputs,and light gradient boosting machine was applied to construct the online calculation model for the operation furnace profile.This model facilitated the online calculation of the slag layer thickness and other key indices.The coefficient of determination of the model exceeded 0.98,indicating high accuracy.A slag layer state judgment model was constructed,categorizing states as shedding,too thin,normal,and too thick.Real-time data were applied,and the average slag thickness in the high heat load area of the test data ranged from 40 to 80 mm,which was consistent with field experience.The absolute value of the Pearson correlation coefficient between slag layer thickness,thermocouple temperature,and heat load data was above 0.85,indicating that the calculated results closely aligned with the actual trends.A 3D visual online monitoring system for the operation furnace profile was created,and it has been successfully implemented at the blast furnace site.

文摘Blast furnace(BF)operation state was difficult to characterize,measure,and predict.To solve this problem,an intelligent evaluation and advanced prediction method of BF operation state based on industry big data and machine learning was proposed.Based on the criteria of high productivity,low consumption,high quality,smooth running and long life,five BF parameters were extracted according to production experience and metallurgy process.Using the unsupervised learning,a 4-grade evaluation rule was established to realize the intelligent rating of BF operation state.Based on Kendall and maximal information coefficient,70 BF parameters with the most characteristic power of BF operation state were determined.The weights of BF parameters were calculated by applying the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation and the grey correlation degree.The weights of raw material,fuel,gas distribution,cooling stave,BF hearth,and iron and slag were 0.241,0.213,0.140,0.098,0.117 and 0.191,respectively.The weight of data interval was calculated by using the grading algorithm and the monotonicity,and then,the intelligent scoring mechanism based on the multiple weights was formed.It was beneficial to qualitatively and quantitatively characterizing the“black box”BF operation state.Furthermore,combining the algorithm and the evaluation mechanism,a graded prediction model of BF operation state was developed and proposed.It was shown that,compared with the conventional prediction model,the mean absolute error and mean square error of the graded prediction model were reduced by 0.35 and 1.29,respectively,while the explained variation was increased by 14.56%,the hit rate was increased by 5.1%within the error of 3%,and the average hit rate was more than 90.6%.It could be applied to reliably predict the score of BF operation state in the next hour and accurately provide the support for the practical controlling of the running BF.

文摘Anthocyanins are important pigments and nutrients in fruits.Red grape is popular because of the high anthocyanin content.Previous studies have identified VvMYBA1 and its homologs as key regulators of fruit color;however,other transcription factors(TFs)that contribute to fruit color remain poorly understood.The present study identified the R2R3-MYB TF VvMYB24,whose gene expression levels were significantly higher in red berries(L51,Vitis vinifera×Vitis labrusca L.)than in green berries(L20,V.vinifera×V.labrusca L.).Overexpression of VvMYB24 in grape calli increased anthocyanin biosynthesis by upregulating the expression of specific structural genes(VvDFR and VvUFGT).Furthermore,VvMYB24 interacted with VvMYBA1 to form a protein complex that additionally increased the expression of VvDFR and VvUFGT.In addition,light-responsive TF VvHY5 could bind to the VvMYB24 promoters to activate its transcription.Taken together,the results reveal a regulatory module,VvHY5-VvMYB24-VvMYBA1,that influences anthocyanin biosynthesis in grape.

文摘Bionic X-shaped vibration isolators have been widely employed in aerospace and other industrial fields,but the stiffness properties of classic X-shaped structures limit the vibration isolation ability for low frequencies.An innovative bionic quasi-zero stiffness(QZS)vibration isolator(BQZSVI),which can broaden the QZS range of a classic X-shaped isolator and can bring it closer to the equilibrium position,is proposed.The BQZSVI consists of an X-shaped structure as the bone fabric of lower limbs and a nonlinear magnetic loop device simulating the leg muscle.Based on static calculation,the stiffness characteristic of the structure is confirmed.The governing equations of motion of the BQZSVI structure are established in the framework of the Lagrange equation,and the harmonic balance method(HBM)is adopted to obtain the transmissibility responses.The results show that the BQZSVI can provide a more accessible and broader range of QZS.In the dynamic manifestation,the introduction of the BQZSVI can reduce the amplitude of a classic X-shaped vibration isolator by 65.7%,and bring down the initial vibration isolation frequency from 7.43 Hz to 2.39 Hz.In addition,a BQZSVI prototype is designed and fabricated,and the exactitude of the theoretical analysis method is proven by means of experiments.

文摘High molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(HMW-PAHs)pose significant environmental challenges due to their complex structures and persistent toxicity,and are difficult to be degraded by bacteria.Fungi,however,possess the ability to overcome these challenges,primarily through various enzymes with broad substrate specificity,including cytochrome P450(CYP450),laccase,manganese peroxidase,lignin peroxidase.As a result,the development of efficient fungal strains capable of degrading HMW-PAHs is essential for advancing bioremediation strategies.In this study,Aspergillus fumigatus Z5 was isolated from a contaminated site and demonstrated a remarkable ability to degrade the highly recalcitrant benzo[a]pyrene,achieving a degradation rate of 75.43%.Transcriptomic analysis revealed significant upregulation of 34 CYP450 genes.Among these genes,CYP3A4(gene 8840)showed strong binding affinity for benzo[a]pyrene,as confirmed by molecular docking studies,indicating its key role in the biodegradable process.Furthermore,the metabolic network analysis showed that the electron transfer required for CYP450-mediated oxidative reactions enhanced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and subsequently energy metabolism in A.fumigatus Z5.This metabolic coordination likely facilitates the complete degradation of benzo[a]pyrene.Our study illuminates the fundamental roles of CYP450 from A.fumigatus Z5 in benzo[a]pyrene degradation and provides novel insight into designing and implementing enhanced bioremediation strategies.
