This study investigated the impact of rehabilitation exercise on functional recovery and morphological changes following thoracic contusive spinal cord injury. After a 7-day recovery period after spinal cord injury, mice were assigned to either a trained group(10 weeks of voluntary running wheel or forced treadmill exercise) or an untrained group. Bi-weekly assessments revealed that the exercise-trained group, particularly the voluntary wheel exercise subgroup, displayed significantly improved locomotor recovery, more plasticity of dopaminergic and serotonin modulation compared with the untrained group. Additionally, exercise interventions led to gait pattern restoration and enhanced transcranial magnetic motor-evoked potentials. Despite consistent injury areas across groups, exercise training promoted terminal innervation of descending axons. In summary, voluntary wheel exercise shows promise for enhancing outcomes after thoracic contusive spinal cord injury, emphasizing the role of exercise modality in promoting recovery and morphological changes in spinal cord injuries. Our findings will influence future strategies for rehabilitation exercises, restoring functional movement after spinal cord injury.展开更多

文摘High-entropy materials possess high hardness and strong wear resistance,yet the key bottleneck for their practical applications is the poor corrosion resistance in harsh environments.In this work,the high-entropy nitride(HEN)coatings of(MoNbTaTiZr)1-x Nx(x=0-0.47)were fabricated using a hybrid di-rect current magnetron sputtering technique.The research focus was dedicated to the effect of nitrogen content on the microstructure,mechanical and electrochemical properties.The results showed that the as-deposited coatings exhibited a typical body-centered cubic(BCC)structure without nitrogen,while the amorphous matrix with face-centered cubic(FCC)nanocrystalline grain was observed at x=0.17.Further increasing x in the range of 0.35-0.47 caused the appearance of polycrystalline FCC phase in structure.Compared with the MoNbTaTiZr metallic coating,the coating containing nitrogen favored the high hard-ness around 13.7-32.4 GPa,accompanied by excellent tolerance both against elastic and plastic deforma-tion.Furthermore,such N-containing coatings yielded a low corrosion current density of about 10−8-10−7 A/cm^(2) and high electrochemical impedance of 10^(6)Ωcm^(2) in 3.5 wt.%NaCl solution,indicating the supe-rior corrosion resistance.The reason for the enhanced electrochemical behavior could be ascribed to the spontaneous formation of protective passive layers over the coating surface,which consisted of the domi-nated multi-elemental oxides in chemical stability.Particularly,noted that the(MoNbTaTiZr)_(0.83) N0.17 coat-ing displayed the highest hardness of 32.4±2.6 GPa and H/E ratio at 0.09,together with remarkable cor-rosion resistance,proposing the strongest capability for harsh-environmental applications required both good anti-wear and anti-corrosion performance.

文摘Laser-welded Ti-6Al-4 V is prone to severe residual stresses,microstructural variation,and structural de-fects which are known detrimental to the mechanical properties of weld joints.Residual stress removal is typically applied to weld joints for engineering purposes via heat treatment,in order to avoid prema-ture failure and performance degradation.In the present work,we found that proper welding residual stresses in laser-welded Ti-6Al-4 V sheets can maintain better ductility during uniaxial tension,as op-posed to the stress-relieved counterparts.A detailed experimental investigation has been performed on the deformation behaviours of Ti-6Al-4 V butt welds,including residual stress distribution characteriza-tions by focused ion beam ring-coring coupled with digital image correlation(FIB-DIC),X-ray comput-erized tomography(CT)for internal voids,and in-situ DIC analysis of the subregional strain evolutions.It was found that the pores preferentially distributed near the fusion zone(FZ)boundary,where the compressive residual stress was up to-330 MPa.The removal of residual stress resulted in a changed failure initiation site from the base material to the FZ boundary,the former with ductile and the latter with brittle fracture characteristics under tensile deformation.The combined effects of residual stresses,microstructures,and internal pores on the mechanical responses are discussed in detail.This work high-lights the importance of inevitable residual stress and pores in laser weld pieces,leading to key insights for post-welding treatment and service performance evaluations.

文摘A novel precipitate-free Mg-0.1Sn anode with a homogeneous equal-axis grain structure was developed and rolled successfully at 573 K.Electrochemical test results indicate that the Mg-0.1Sn alloy exhibits enhanced anode dissolution kinetics.A Mg-air battery prepared using this anode exhibits a cell voltage of 1.626 V at 0.5 mA/cm^(2),reasonable anodic efficiency of 58.17%,and good specific energy of 1730.96 mW·h/g at 10 mA/cm^(2).This performance is attributed to the effective reactive anode surface,the suppressed chunk effect,and weak self-corrosion owing to the homogeneous basal texture.

文摘Pyrrolizidine alkaloids(PAs)and their N-oxides(PANOs)are phytotoxins produced by various plant species and have been emerged as environmental pollutants.The sorption/desorption behaviors of PAs/PANOs in soil are crucial due to the horizontal transfer of these natural products from PA-producing plants to soil and subsequently absorbed by plant roots.This study firstly investigated the sorption/desorption behaviors of PAs/PANOs in tea plantation soils with distinct characteristics.Sorption amounts for seneciphylline(Sp)and seneciphylline-N-oxide(SpNO)in three acidic soils ranged from 2.9 to 5.9μg/g and 1.7 to 2.8μg/g,respectively.Desorption percentages for Sp and SpNO were from 22.2%to 30.5%and 36.1%to 43.9%.In the mixed PAs/PANOs systems,stronger sorption of PAs over PANOs was occurred in tested soils.Additionally,the Freundlich models more precisely described the sorption/desorption isotherms.Cation exchange capacity,sand content and total nitrogen were identified as major influencing factors by linear regression models.Overall,the soils exhibiting higher sorption capacities for compounds with greater hydrophobicity.PANOs were more likely to migrate within soils and be absorbed by tea plants.It contributes to the understanding of environmental fate of PAs/PANOs in tea plantations and provides basic data and clues for the development of PAs/PANOs reduction technology.

文摘Nano-zinc oxides(ZnO)demonstrate remarkable antibacterial properties.To further enhance the corrosion resistance and antibacterial efficiency of magnesium alloy micro-arc oxidation(MAO)coatings,this study investigates the preparation of ZnO-containing micro-arc oxidation coatings with dual functionality by incorporating nano-ZnO into MAO electrolyte.The influence of varying ZnO concentrations on the microstructure,corrosion resistance,and antibacterial properties of the coating was examined through microstructure analysis,immersion tests,electrochemical experiments,and antibacterial assays.The findings revealed that the addition of nano-ZnO significantly enhanced the corrosion resistance of the MAO-coated alloy.Specifically,when the ZnO concentration in the electrolyte was 5 g/L,the corrosion rate was more than ten times lower compared to the MAO coatings without ZnO.Moreover,the antibacterial efficacy of ZnO+MAO coating,prepared with a ZnO concentration of 5 g/L,surpassed 95%after 24 h of co-culturing with Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus).The nano-ZnO+MAO-coated alloy exhibited exceptional degradation resistance,corrosion resistance,and antibacterial effectiveness.

文摘The swelling behavior and stability in solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)have been proved to determine the battery cycle life.A high swollen,unstable SEI shows a high permeability to electrolyte,which results in the rapid battery performance degradation.Here,we customize two SEIs with different spatial structures(bilayer and mosaic)by simply regulating the proportion of additive fluoroethylene carbonate.Surprisingly,due to the uniform distribution of dense inorganic nano-crystals in the inner,the bilayer SEI exhibits low-swelling and excellent mechanical properties,so the undesirable side reactions of the electrolyte are effectively suppressed.In addition,we put forward the growth rate of swelling ratio(GSR)as a key indicator to reveal the swelling change in SEI.The GSR of bilayer SEI merely increases from1.73 to 3.16 after the 300th cycle,which enables the corresponding graphite‖Li battery to achieve longer cycle stability.The capacity retention is improved by 47.5% after 300 cycles at 0.5 C.The correlation among SEI spatial structure,swelling behavior,and battery performance provides a new direction for electrolyte optimization and interphase structure design of high energy density batteries.

文摘The microstructural characterization,corrosion behavior and tensile properties of the extruded lean Mg−1Bi−0.5Sn−0.5In(wt.%)alloy were investigated through scanning electron microscopy(SEM),electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),electrochemical measurements and tensile tests.The results reveal that a microstructure consisting of dynamically recrystallized and deformed grains is obtained.Notably,the investigated alloy exhibits excellent strength−ductility synergy,with tensile yield strength(TYS),ultimate tensile strength(UTS)and elongation(EL)of 254.8 MPa,315.4 MPa,and 25.3%,respectively.Furthermore,in 3.5 wt.%NaCl solution,with the increase of immersion time,the dominant corrosion mechanism of the studied alloy transforms from pitting corrosion to filiform corrosion.After the immersion for 24 h,a composite oxide film(SnO2−Bi2O3−In2O3)is formed,which delays the corrosion process,and the corrosion rate(PH=1.53 mm/a)is finally stabilized.

文摘In this work,the aging response and mechanism of dual-phase Mg-Li-Al-Zn alloy at various temperatures are investigated.The results show that the strengthening after quenching is primarily attributed to the immediate precipitation of the semi-coherent~Mg_(3)Zn phase.The aging softening of the studied alloy is mainly caused by the rapid transformation of the strengthening~Mg_(3)Zn phase to the softening MgLi(Al,Zn)phase,along with the coarsening of theα-Mg matrix and precipitates withinβ-Li matrix.Further analysis indicates that the quick precipitation and transformation of~Mg_(3)Zn is a consequence of the high diffusion rate of solute atoms,resulting from dense vacancy concentration in theβ-Li matrix.This research bridges a critical gap in the study of aging mechanism in the dual-phase Mg-Li-Al-Zn alloy,providing a theoretical basis for the development and application of high-performance and thermal-stable Mg-Li alloys.

文摘How to achieve high-entropy alloys(HEAs)with ultrahigh strength and ductility is a challenging issue.Precipitation strengthening is one of the methods to significantly enhance strength,but unfortunately,ductility will be lost.To overcome the strength-ductility trade-off,the strategy of this study is to induce the formation of high-density nanoprecipitates through dual aging(DA),triggering multiple deformation mechanisms,to obtain HEAs with ultrahigh strength and ductility.First,the effect of precold deformation on precipitation behavior was studied using Ni_(35)(CoFe)_(55)V_(5)Nb_(5)(at.%)HEAas the object.The results reveal that the activation energy of recrystallization is 112.2 kJ/mol.As the precold-deformation amount increases from 15%to 65%,the activation energy of precipitation gradually decreases from 178.8 to 159.7 kJ/mol.The precipitation time shortens,the size of the nanoprecipitate decreases,and the density increases.Subsequently,the thermal treatment parameters were optimized,and the DA process was customized based on the effect of precold deformation on precipitation behavior.High-density L1_(2) nanoprecipitates(~3.21×10^(25) m^(-3))were induced in the 65% precold-deformed HEA,which led to the simultaneous formation of twins and stacking fault(SF)networks during deformation.The yield strength(YS),ultimate tensile strength,and ductility of the DA-HEA are~2.0 GPa,~2.2 GPa,and~12.3%,respectively.Compared with the solid solution HEA,the YS of the DA-HEA increased by 1,657 MPa,possessing an astonishing increase of~440%.The high YS stems from the precipitation strengthening contributed by the L1_(2) nanoprecipitates and the dislocation strengthening contributed by precold deformation.The synergistically enhanced ductility stems from the high strain-hardening ability under the dual support of twinning-induced plasticity and SF-induced plasticity.

文摘Magnesium matrix composites with both high strength and ductility have been achieved by introducing pure Ti particles.However,the properties of the surfaces of the composites need to be improved by surface technology,such as micro-arc oxidation(MAO).In this study,we investigated the influence of the Ti-reinforcement phase on coating growth and evolution by subjecting both AZ91 alloy and AZ91/Ti composite to MAO treatment using silicate-based and phosphate-based electrolytes.Results revealed that the Ti-reinforcement phase influenced the MAO process,altering discharge behavior,and leading to a decreased cell voltage.The vigorous discharge of the Ti-reinforcement phase induced the formation of coating discharge channels,concurrently dissolving and oxidizing Ti-reinforcement to produce a composite ceramic coating with TiO2.The MAO coating on the AZ91/Ti composite exhibited a dark blue macromorphology and distinctive local micromorphological anomalies.In silicate electrolyte,a“volcano-like”localized morphology centered on the discharge channel emerged.In contrast,treatment in phosphate-based electrolyte resulted in a coating morphology similar to typical porous ceramic coatings,with visible radial discharge micropores at the reinforcement phase location.Compared to the AZ91 alloy,the coating on the AZ91/Ti composite exhibited lower thickness and higher porosity.MAO treatment reduced the self-corrosion current density of the AZ91/Ti surface by two orders of magnitude.The silicate coating demonstrated better corrosion resistance than the phosphate coating,attributed to its lower porosity.The formation mechanism of MAO coatings on AZ91/Ti composites in phosphate-based and silicate-based electrolytes was proposed.

文摘Efficient lubrication of magnesium alloys is a highly challenging topic in the field of tribology.In this study,magnesium silicate hydroxide(MSH)nanotubes with serpentine structures were synthesized.The tribological behavior of AZ91D magnesium alloy rubbed against GCr15 steel was studied under lubricating oil with surface-modified MSH nanotubes as additives.The effects of the concentration,applied load,and reciprocating frequency on the friction and wear of the AZ91D alloy were studied using an SRV-4 sliding wear tester.Results show a decrease of 18.7–68.5%in friction coefficient,and a reduction of 19.4–54.3%in wear volume of magnesium alloy can be achieved by applying the synthetic serpentine additive under different conditions.A suspension containing 0.3 wt.%MSH was most efficient in reducing wear and friction.High frequency and medium load were more conducive to improving the tribological properties of magnesium alloys.A series of beneficial physical and chemical processes occurring at the AZ91D alloy/steel interface can be used to explain friction and wear reduction based on the characterization of the morphology,chemical composition,chemical state,microstructure,and nanomechanical properties of the worn surface.The synthetic MSH,with serpentine structure and nanotube morphology,possesses excellent adsorbability,high chemical activity,and good self-lubrication and catalytic activity.Therefore,physical polishing,tribochemical reactions,and physicalchemical depositions can occur easily on the sliding contacts.A dense tribolayer with a complex composition and composite structure was formed on the worn surface.Its high hardness,good toughness and plasticity,and prominent lubricity resulted in the improvement of friction and wear,making the synthetic MSH a promising efficient oil additive for magnesium alloys under boundary and mixed lubrication.

文摘Mitochondria play a crucial role as organelles,managing several physiological processes such as redox balance,cell metabolism,and energy synthesis.Initially,the assumption was that mitochondria primarily resided in the host cells and could exclusively transmit from oocytes to offspring by a mechanism known as vertical inheritance of mitochondria.Recent scholarly works,however,suggest that certain cell types transmit their mitochondria to other developmental cell types via a mechanism referred to as intercellular or horizontal mitochondrial transfer.This review details the process of which mitochondria are transferred across cells and explains the impact of mitochondrial transfer between cells on the efficacy and functionality of cancer cells in various cancer forms.Specifically,we review the role of mitochondria transfer in regulating cellular metabolism restoration,excess reactive oxygen species(ROS)generation,proliferation,invasion,metastasis,mitophagy activation,mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)inheritance,immune system modulation and therapeutic resistance in cancer.Additionally,we highlight the possibility of using intercellular mitochondria transfer as a therapeutic approach to treat cancer and enhance the efficacy of cancer treatments.

文摘The performance of Mg alloys is significantly influenced by the concentrations and solid solution behavior of the alloying elements.In this work,the solid solution behavior of 20 alloying elements in 190 ternary Mg alloy systems at 500℃are systematically investigated.The solid solution behavior of a set of two different alloying elements in Mg alloy systems are suggested to be classified into three categories:inclusivity,exclusivity and proportionality.Inclusivity classification indicates that the two alloying elements are inclusive inα-Mg,increasing the joint solubility of both elements.Exclusivity classification suggests that the two alloying elements have a low joint solid solubility inα-Mg,since they prefer to form stable second phases.For the proportionality classification,the solubility curve of the ternary Mg alloy systems is a straight line connecting the solubility points of the two sub-binary systems.The proposed classification theory was validated by key experiments and the calculation of formation energies.The interaction effects between alloying elements and the preference of formation of second phases are the main factors determining the solid solution behavior classifications.Based on the observed solid solution features of multi-component Mg alloys,principles for alloy design of different types of high-performance Mg alloys were proposed in this work.
