文摘In recent years,rising life expectancy has led to a significant increase in the prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders,including Alzheimer’s disease(AD),Parkinson’s disease,and age-related cognitive decline.Additionally,other neurological conditions such as glioblastoma,the most common and aggressive brain tumor in adults have been more frequently reported in aging populations.The brain itself is highly vulnerable to age-related changes,particularly disruptions in homeostatic regulation,which further contribute to its functional decline and heightened susceptibility to disease.This has led to a surge of interest in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving these changes.

文摘Glassy polymers are widely used in biomedical applications in a solvent environment,yet their long-term performance is governed by the competing effects of physical aging and solvent-induced plasticization.Here,we develop a constitutive model that explicitly couples the solvent concentration,structural relaxation,and mechanical response.This framework is built on a multiplicative decomposition of deformation and an Eyring-type flow rule,with structural evolution described by an effective temperature.A generalized shift factor is introduced to quantify how the solvent concentration and effective temperature jointly affect the relaxation time,thereby integrating physical aging and plasticization.The model is subsequently applied to methacrylate(MA)-based copolymer networks immersed in phosphate-buffered saline for up to nine months.Simulations accurately capture key experimental features,including the strong softening of highly swellable networks,the partial recovery due to aging,and the mitigating role of hydrophobic crosslinking in reducing solvent uptake.While the current single-mode description cannot reproduce the full relaxation spectrum,it establishes an efficient framework for predicting the long-term mechanical performance under coupled environmental and mechanical loading.This study provides a constitutive description of solvent-swollen glassy polymers,offering mechanistic insight into the interplay between plasticization and aging.Beyond biomedical MA networks,this framework establishes a foundation for predicting the long-term performance of polymer glasses under coupled aqueous environmental and mechanical loading.
文摘Regenerative medicine is a promising therapeutic avenue for previously incurable diseases.As the risk of chronic and degenerative diseases significantly increases with age,the elderly population represents a major cohort for stem cell-based therapies.However,the regenerative potential of stem cells significantly decreases with advanced age and deteriorating health status of the donor.Therefore,the efficacy of autologous stem cell therapy is significantly compromised in older patients.To overcome these limitations,alternative strategies have been used to restore the age-and disease-depleted function of stem cells.These methods aim to restore the therapeutic efficacy of aged stem cells for autologous use.This article explores the effect of donor age and health status on the regenerative potential of stem cells.It further highlights the limitations of stem cell-based therapy for autologous treatment in the elderly.A comprehensive insight into the potential strategies to address the“age”and“disease”compromised regenerative potential of autologous stem cells is also presented.The information provided here serves as a valuable resource for physicians and patients for optimization of stem cellbased autologous therapy for aged patients.

文摘Alzheimer’s disease is initially thought to be caused by age-associated accumulation of plaques,in recent years,research has increasingly associated Alzheimer’s disease with lysosomal storage and metabolic disorders,and the explanation of its pathogenesis has shifted from amyloid and tau accumulation to oxidative stress and impaired lipid and glucose metabolism aggravated by hypoxic conditions.However,the underlying mechanisms linking those cellular processes and conditions to disease progression have yet to be defined.Here,we applied a disease similarity approach to identify unknown molecular targets of Alzheimer’s disease by using transcriptomic data from congenital diseases known to increase Alzheimer’s disease risk,namely Down syndrome,Niemann-Pick type C disease,and mucopolysaccharidoses I.We uncovered common pathways,hub genes,and miRNAs across in vitro and in vivo models of these diseases as potential molecular targets for neuroprotection and amelioration of Alzheimer’s disease pathology,many of which have never been associated with Alzheimer’s disease.We then investigated common molecular alterations in brain samples from a Niemann-Pick type C disease mouse model by juxtaposing them with brain samples of both human and mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.Detailed phenotypic,molecular,chronological,and biological aging analyses revealed that the Npc1tm(I1061T)Dso mouse model can serve as a potential short-lived in vivo model for brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease research.This research represents the first comprehensive approach to congenital disease association with neurodegeneration and a new perspective on Alzheimer’s disease research while highlighting shortcomings and lack of correlation in diverse in vitro models.Considering the lack of an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model that recapitulates the physiological hallmarks of brain aging,the short-lived Npc1^(tm(I1061T)Dso) mouse model can further accelerate the research in these fields and offer a unique model for understanding the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease from a perspective of accelerated brain aging.

文摘To investigate the influencesof non-plastic silt and soil aging on the re-liquefaction resistance of sands,a series of undrained triaxial tests was performed on sand-silt mixtures with finescontent ranging from 0%to 100%,as well as on undisturbed and reconstituted non-plastic sandy soils retrieved from earth structures with a history of earthquake-induced damage.The specimens on sand-silt mixtures were produced under an initial degree of compaction of 95%.In these tests,liquefaction histories were applied three times to a single specimen under the same cyclic stress ratio after the respective consolidation stages with the measurements of the shear wave velocities.The following conclusions can be obtained from the test results:(1)The liquefaction resistance obtained in the firstto third cyclicloading stages decreased initially with increasing finescontent up to about 45%,while it increased afterward.Therefore,the susceptibility of sands containing a relatively large amount of non-plastic silt to reliquefaction may be more significantthan that of clean sands;(2)The liquefaction resistance and the shear wave velocity decreased significantlyduring the second cyclic-loading stage and after the second consolidation,respectively,despite an increase in the specimen density caused by the first liquefaction history,while they increased in the third stage.The possible reason for this change would be the disturbance of soil structures due to liquefaction,which may be partially evaluated by the volumetric strain during the respective consolidation stages,and the stress-induced anisotropy formed in the previous liquefaction stage;and(3)The liquefaction resistance and the shear wave velocity of the undisturbed specimens,which were measured in the firstto third stages,were larger than those of the reconstituted ones due to the aging effects,respectively.That is,the aging effects may not necessarily be eliminated by the subsequent liquefaction history and may remain partially in some cases.

文摘Fe-Ga-based alloys are considered promising magnetostrictive candidates because of their high permeability and favorable mechanical properties.However,currently developed Fe-Ga-based alloys often suffer from a limited capability for microstructure manipulation,which restricts their magnetostrictive performance.To address this limitation,this study proposes a novel strategy combining laser-beam powder bed fusion(LPBF)and aging treatment to modulate the microstructure and enhance magnetostrictive properties of Fe-Ga-B alloys.Considering the positive influence of B element on magnetostrictive property and ductility,B-doped magnetostrictive Fe-Ga alloys were prepared via the LPBF process and then aged at 600℃for varying times(1,2,and 3 h,respectively).The LPBF process,characterized by high thermal gradients and rapid solidification,produced a microstructure featuring<001>oriented grains and sparse m-D0_(3)nanoprecipitates embedded in an A2 matrix.After the aging treatment,sufficient nucleation and growth of nanoprecipitates were enhanced.Specifically,the sample aged for 2 h developed a high density of larger m-D0_(3)nanoprecipitates.This optimized microstructure yielded a high magnetostrictive strain of(109±12)ppm and a substantially reduced saturation field—decreased by~49.1%compared to the as-fabricated state—primarily due to the synergistic effect of the<001>texture and the dense nanoprecipitates.Moreover,all the prepared alloys exhibited good soft-magnetic characteristics and comparable mechanical properties.Therefore,the combination of LPBF and aging treatment offers a promising route for tailoring the macro/microstructure and performance of magnetostrictive Fe-Ga alloys for diverse applications.

文摘A multistage solution treatment process was applied for nickel-based single crystal superalloys,complemented by various aging durations and cooling rates.The microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)to observe the γ'phase.Additionally,phase field simulations were conducted to model the growth ofγ'precipitates during aging and analyze their morphological evolution.The experimental results demonstrated that the multistage solution treatment effectively eliminated eutectic phases and carbides.Moreover,samples aged for 10 min exhibited larger and more rectangularγ'precipitates compared with those aged for 5 min.Notably,secondary γ'precipitates were observed in samples subjected to water cooling.Two indices for quantifying rectangularization were proposed and successfully applied.Based on the simulation results,lattice mismatch induced coherency stresses and elevated stress triaxiality along the <111> direction contributed to the rectangularization of theγ'phase.

文摘The creep response,mechanical properties,and microstructure evolution of the Al−Zn−Mg−Cu alloy were investigated under different initial heat treatment conditions.The results indicate that the density of geometrically necessary dislocations(GNDs)increases during the initial creep stage(<0.5 h)and undergoes dynamic changes in the stable creep stage.During creep aging,the dislocation distribution within the grains becomes more uniform,and additional subgrains are formed.The key factors influencing creep behavior are crystal orientation and the degree of initial precipitation.Grains oriented in the<001>and<101>directions are more susceptible to deformation during the creep process.Based on a strength model,the inhibitory effects of the η'phase in T6 specimens and the GP I zone in T4 specimens on dislocation motion were evaluated.This study demonstrates that selecting an appropriate initial precipitation state is an effective strategy to enhance the creep aging response and to produce high-performance components.

文摘Accelerated aging tests are widely used to rapidly evaluate the durability of materials,of which thermal-oxidative aging is the most common approach.To quantitatively predict the effects of multiple coupled factors,this study takes polyamide66 reinforced with glass fiber(PA66-GF)as a model system and proposed a high-precision paradigm for coupled thermal-oxidative aging.By integrating Arrhenius-type reaction kinetics with oxygen diffusion,a predictive formula that holistically captures the nonlinear synergistic effects of multiple factors was developed,thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional single-variable models.A systematic evaluation of the stepwise improved formulas through nonlinear fitting showed that the coefficient of determination(R^(2))increased from 0.223 to 0.803,elucidating the fundamental reason why conventional approaches fail in quantitative prediction.These formulae were further embedded as physical constraints into a physics-informed neural network(PINN),which further enhanced the predictive performance,with the proposed formula achieving a peak R^(2)of 0.946.The results highlight that robust data fitting alone is insufficient;the decisive factor for the success of PINN lies in whether the embedded formula faithfully reflects the underlying physical mechanisms.When applied to polyamide 6 reinforced with glass fiber(PA6-GF),the Formula-constrained PINN maintained a high level of accuracy(R^(2)=0.916),demonstrating its strong cross-system generalizability.In summary,this work establishes a robust hybrid physics-machine learning framework that combines high accuracy with transferability for predicting the thermal-oxidative aging behavior of composite material systems.

文摘The dissolution of iron from the cathode and electrode/electrolyte interface(EEI)during long cycles significantly accelerates the aging process of LiFePO_(4)(LFP)/graphite batteries;there is a lack of systematic understanding of the spatial distribution of the EEI interface layer and the dissolve of Fe ions,especially in terms of the mechanism of the cathode-electrolyte interphase(CEI),solid electrolyte interphase(SEI),and iron dissolution.In this study,aged cells were subjected to continuous activation with constant current and multi-step segmented indirect activation(IA)and analyzed for capacity fade,impedance growth,and active Li^(+)mass loss at the EEI and nanoscale levels.The interaction between dissolved Fe^(2+)and the EEI in LFP/graphite pouch batteries was proposed and verified.The findings indicate that during IA process,the electric field facilitates the migration of solvated ions toward the electrodes,while simultaneously inhibiting the formation of organic species such as ROCO_(2)Li.The SEI primarily consists of a mixture of organic and inorganic small molecules,forming a continuous and uniform film on the electrode surface.This study demonstrates that IA favors the formation of a uniform EEI and offers constructive insights for advancing accelerated lifetime prediction strategies in lithium-ion batteries.

文摘As the aging population continues to grow,age-related health issues are becoming increasingly prominent,attracting widespread attention and concern from society.While research on the mechanisms of aging is relatively extensive,studies on the association between aging and related diseases remain limited.G.lucidum,a traditional medicinal fungus,has garnered significant attention due to its diverse bioactive properties.Recent studies have revealed that G.lucidum and its active components exhibit significant potential in anti-aging and regulating dysregulation of glucose and lipid metabolism.However,a comprehensive and detailed review of recent research findings has yet to be thoroughly explored.This paper summarizes and elucidates the latest advances in the pathological mechanisms of aging-related glucose and lipid metabolism disorders by retrieving data from databases such as X-mol and PubMed,provides a detailed account of the regulatory effects of G.lucidum’s primary active components on aging and lipid metabolism,and explores their potential mechanisms.Additionally,it discusses the application prospects of G.lucidum in the fields of anti-aging and metabolic regulation,aiming to provide a reference for research on aging-mediated lipid metabolism disorders and to lay a theoretical foundation for the further development and application of G.lucidum.

文摘The effects of artificial aging(T6)on the creep resistance with tensile stresses in the range of 50−80 MPa at 175℃were investigated for an extruded Mg−1.22Al−0.31Ca−0.44Mn(wt.%)alloy.The Guinier-Preston(G.P.)zones primarily precipitate in the sample aged at 200℃for 1 h(T6-200℃/1h),while the Al_(2)Ca phases mainly precipitate in the sample aged at 275℃for 8 h(T6-275℃/8h).The T6-200℃/1h sample exhibits excellent creep resistance,with a steady-state creep rate one order of magnitude lower than that of the T6-275℃/8h sample.The abnormally high stress exponent(~8.2)observed in the T6-200℃/1h sample is associated with the power-law breakdown mechanism.TEM analysis illuminates that the creep mechanism for the T6-200℃/1h sample is cross-slip between basal and prismatic dislocations,while the T6-275℃/8h sample exhibits a mixed mechanism of dislocation cross-slip and climb.Compared with the Al_(2)Ca phase,the dense G.P.zones effectively impede dislocation climb and glide during the creep process,demonstrating superior creep resistance of the T6-200℃/1h sample.
