The microstructures of A1203 fibers with and without PyC coatings were characterized by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The influence of deposition time of PyC on the DC conductivity （ad） of A1203 filaments and complex permittivity of fabrics at X band （8.2-12.4 GHz） were investigated. The values of Crd and complex permittivity increase with increasing deposition time of PyC. The electron relaxation polarization and conductance loss were supposed to be contributed to the increase of ε＇ and ε＂, respectively. In addition, the reflection loss （RL） of fabrics was calculated. The results show that the microwave absorbing properties of Al2O3 fiber fabrics can be improved by PyC coatings. The best RL results are for 60 min-deposition sample, of which the minimum value is about -40.4 dB at about 9.5 GHz and the absorbing frequency band （AFB） is about 4 GHz.展开更多

The results showed that the complexes had the composi- tions of Tb（pyca）（BDA）·2H2O, Tb0.5Y0.5（pyca）（BDA）·2H2O, Tb0.5La0.5（pyca）（BDA）·3H20, Tb0.5Gd0.5（pyca）（BDA）·2H2O, Tb0.7Y0.3（pyca）（BDA）·3HO, Tb0.7Lao.3（pyca）（BDA）-0.5H20, Tb0.TGd0.3（pyea）（BDA）＇H20, Tb0.6Y0.4（pyca）（BDA）·2.5H20, Tb0.6La0.4 （pyca）（BDA）·2.5H2O and Tbo.6Gd0.4（pyca）（BDA）·3H20. IR spectra indicated that the rare earth ions coordinated with the carboxylic oxygen atoms of Hpyca and BDAH. Luminescence spectra showed that the doped La3＋, y3＋ or Gd3＋ ions did not affect the lumines- cence emission peak positions, but remarkably increased the luminescent intensities of terbium complexes. Furthermore, the doped lanthanide complexes showed longer luminescence lifetimes and higher quantum yields than pure terbium complex. The enhanced luminescence efficiencies of Tb3＋ ions in the doped complexes might result from the antenna effect of the two carboxylate ligands as well as the decrease of the self-quench of the Tb3＋ ions induced by the doped lanthanide ions.展开更多

文摘Objective:Triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)is highly aggressive and lacks an effective targeted therapy.This study aimed to elucidate the functions and possible mechanisms of action of zinc finger miz-type containing 2(ZMIZ2)and minichromosome maintenance complex component 3(MCM3)in TNBC progression.Methods:The relationship between ZMIZ2 expression and clinical characteristics of TNBC was investigated.In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to investigate the role of ZMIZ2 dysregulation in TNBC cell malignant behaviors.The regulatory relationship between ZMIZ2 and MCM3 was also explored.Transcriptome sequencing was performed to elucidate possible mechanisms underlying the ZMIZ2/MCM3 axis in TNBC.Results:High ZMIZ2 expression levels were associated with the malignant degree of TNBC.ZMIZ2 overexpression promoted TNBC cell proliferation,migration,and invasion;inhibited apoptosis;and induced G1 phase cell cycle arrest,whereas knockdown of ZMIZ2 had the opposite effect.ZMIZ2 directly targeted and positively regulated MCM3 expression.MCM3 knockdown reversed the effect of ZMIZ2 overexpression on TNBC tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo.High MCM3 expression levels were linked to the degree of malignancy and poor prognosis in TNBC.The differentially expressed genes associated with the ZMIZ2/MCM3 axis were significantly enriched in multiple pathways,such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK),mechanistic target of rapamycin(mTOR),Wnt,and Ras signaling pathways,as verified by The Cancer Genome Atlas data.Conclusions:ZMIZ2 and MCM3 were highly expressed in TNBC.ZMIZ2 promoted the development by positively regulating MCM3 expression.Key pathways,such as the Ras/MAPK,phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)/mTOR,and Wnt signaling pathways,may be key downstreammechanisms.

文摘The pyrolytic carbon （PyC） coatings were fabricated on A1203 fiber fabrics by the method of chemical vapor deposition （CVD）. The microstructures of A1203 fibers with and without PyC coatings were characterized by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The influence of deposition time of PyC on the DC conductivity （ad） of A1203 filaments and complex permittivity of fabrics at X band （8.2-12.4 GHz） were investigated. The values of Crd and complex permittivity increase with increasing deposition time of PyC. The electron relaxation polarization and conductance loss were supposed to be contributed to the increase of ε＇ and ε＂, respectively. In addition, the reflection loss （RL） of fabrics was calculated. The results show that the microwave absorbing properties of Al2O3 fiber fabrics can be improved by PyC coatings. The best RL results are for 60 min-deposition sample, of which the minimum value is about -40.4 dB at about 9.5 GHz and the absorbing frequency band （AFB） is about 4 GHz.
文摘Eight complexes of rare earth with 2 mercaptobenthiazole, RELCl 2·RE(OH) 3· x H 2O (L=2 mercaptobenthiazole, RE= La～Gd, Y, except for Pm, x =0, 2～4), were synthesized in unhydrous ethanol and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermal analyses. The results show that the ligand is coordinated to the RE ion through both the exocyclic sulfur and the thiazole nitrogen. The vulcanizing properties of the La complex as accelerator were studied in the traditional tire rubber, which indicate that the cross linked rubber accelerated by the rare earth complex has good physical and dynamic mechanical properties by comparison.

文摘Abstract： Ten solid terbium complexes with 2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid （Hpyca） and butanedioic acid （BDAH） were synthesized via coprecipitation method and characterized by elemental, EDTA titration, inductively coupled plasma （ICP）, thermogravim- etry-differential scanning calorimetry （TG-DSC） and infrared （IR） analyses. The results showed that the complexes had the composi- tions of Tb（pyca）（BDA）·2H2O, Tb0.5Y0.5（pyca）（BDA）·2H2O, Tb0.5La0.5（pyca）（BDA）·3H20, Tb0.5Gd0.5（pyca）（BDA）·2H2O, Tb0.7Y0.3（pyca）（BDA）·3HO, Tb0.7Lao.3（pyca）（BDA）-0.5H20, Tb0.TGd0.3（pyea）（BDA）＇H20, Tb0.6Y0.4（pyca）（BDA）·2.5H20, Tb0.6La0.4 （pyca）（BDA）·2.5H2O and Tbo.6Gd0.4（pyca）（BDA）·3H20. IR spectra indicated that the rare earth ions coordinated with the carboxylic oxygen atoms of Hpyca and BDAH. Luminescence spectra showed that the doped La3＋, y3＋ or Gd3＋ ions did not affect the lumines- cence emission peak positions, but remarkably increased the luminescent intensities of terbium complexes. Furthermore, the doped lanthanide complexes showed longer luminescence lifetimes and higher quantum yields than pure terbium complex. The enhanced luminescence efficiencies of Tb3＋ ions in the doped complexes might result from the antenna effect of the two carboxylate ligands as well as the decrease of the self-quench of the Tb3＋ ions induced by the doped lanthanide ions.
