文摘As a hydrogen storage material,both AlH_(3)and LiNH_(2)possess a high hydrogen capacity.However,the dehydrogenated AlH_(3)can hardly absorb hydrogen under normal conditions,while LiNH_(2)will generate NH_(3)rather than H_(2)upon decomposition.In this work,we report thatthe combination of AlH_(3)and LiNH_(2)through simple ball milling leads to partial reversibility of the AlH_(3)-LiNH_(2)system and the suppression of NH_(3)liberation.The negatively charged H^(δ-)in AlH_(3)will react with the positively charged H^(δ+)in LiNH_(2)through a redox reaction to form Li_(2)NH,AlN,and H_(2)at 120-170℃.After dehydrogenation at above 270℃,Li_(3)AlN_(2)is generated,which is crucial for the reversibility of this system.The more the Li3AlN2generated,the better the reversibility of this system.The dehydrogenation capacity of AlH_(3)+2LiNH_(2)at the third cycle(3.0 wt%)is higher than that of AlH_(3)+LiNH_(2)(1.2 wt%)due to the generation of more Li3AlN2.The role of AIH_(3)/Al in the AlH_(3)-LiNH_(2)system is to fix the nitrogen into the form of AIN and Li_(3)AlN_(2)and thus suppress the liberation of NH_(3).Therefore,the synergy of AlH_(3)and LiNH_(2)leads to the reversibility of the Li-Al-NH system and the suppression of NH_(3).
文摘BACKGROUND Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome(PRES)is a complex neurological disorder characterized by symptoms such as headaches,seizures,confusion,and visual disturbances.The pathophysiology of PRES involves endothelial dysfunction,disrupted cerebral autoregulation,and resulting vasogenic edema.Hypertension and other factors that alter cerebral autoregulation are critical in its development.Corticosteroids,widely used for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties,play a controversial role in PRES.AIM To elucidate the dual role of corticosteroids in the context of PRES by critically evaluating the existing literature.Specifically,it seeks to assess the results of PRES induced by corticosteroid therapy and the efficacy and safety of corticosteroids in the treatment of PRES.By synthesizing case reports and series,this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms,clinical presentations,and management strategies associated with corticosteroid-related PRES.METHODS The review was carried out according to the PRISMA guidelines.The databases searched included Science Direct,PubMed,and Hinari.The search strategy encompassed terms related to corticosteroids and PRES.Studies were included if they were peer-reviewed articles examining corticosteroids in PRES,excluding non-English publications,reviews,and editorials.Data on patient demographics,clinical characteristics,imaging findings,corticosteroid regimens,and outcomes were extracted.The risk of bias was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool for case reports.RESULTS A total of 56 cases of PRES(66.1%women,33.9%men)potentially induced by corticosteroids and 14 cases in which corticosteroids were used to treat PRES were identified.Cases of PRES reportedly caused by corticosteroids showed a mean age of approximately 25.2 years,with seizures,headaches,hypertension,and visual disturbances being common clinical sequelae.Magnetic resonance findings typically revealed vasogenic edema in the bilateral parieto-occipital lobes.High-dose or prolonged corticosteroid therapy was a significant risk factor.On the contrary,in the treatment cases,corticosteroids were associated with positive outcomes,including resolution of vasogenic edema and stabilization of symptoms,particularly in patients with underlying inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.CONCLUSION Corticosteroids have a dual role in PRES,capable of both inducing and treating the condition.The current body of literature suggests that corticosteroids may play a greater role as a precipitating agent of PRES rather than treating.Corticosteroids may induce PRES through hypertension and subsequent increased cerebral blood flow and loss of autoregulation.Corticosteroids may aid in the management of PRES:(1)Enhancing endothelial stability;(2)Antiinflammatory properties;and(3)Improving blood-brain barrier integrity.Mechanisms which may reduce or mitigate vasogenic edema formation.

文摘This study aims to enhance the maneuvering advantages of the waterjet unit through parametric design,performance evaluation,and optimization of the one-piece waterjet propulsion steering and reversing gear(SRG).The SRG’s performance evaluation stems mainly from the effect of the free surface,the varying sailing speeds of the ship,and its performance while functioning at the stern of the waterjet-propelled vessel.Parameters such as the length,width,and height of the steering gear,as well as the inclination,width,and curvature of the reversing gear,significantly influence the SRG.Although the free surface has a great impact on the force of the SRG,its performance trend remains unaffected.When the SRG operates at the stern of the ship,the optimized scheme’s lateral force improves by an average of 8.08%for sailing with a rudder angle condition and an average of 45.69%for reversing sailing with a rudder angle condition.The longitudinal force of the optimized scheme improves by more than 23%when sailing without a rudder angle condition and by an average of 31.75%when sailing with a reversed rudder angle condition.Additionally,the speed of the rotor has a minimal effect on the lateral force and a significant effect on the longitudinal force.

文摘Avian metapneumovirus(aMPV),a paramyxovirus,causes acute respiratory diseases in turkeys and swollen head syndrome in chickens.This study established a reverse genetics system for aMPV subtype B LN16-A strain based on T7 RNA polymerase.Full-length cDNA of the LN16-A strain was constructed by assembling 5 cDNA fragments between the T7 promoter and hepatitis delta virus ribozyme.Transfection of this plasmid,along with the supporting plasmids encoding the N,P,M2-1,and L proteins of LN16-A into BSR-T7/5 cells,resulted in the recovery of aMPV subtype B.To identify an effective insertion site,the enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP)gene was inserted into different sites of the LN16-A genome to generate recombinant LN16-As.The results showed that the expression levels of EGFP at the site between the G and L genes of LN16-A were significantly higher than those at the other two sites(between the leader and N genes or replacing the SH gene).To verify the availability of the site between G and L for foreign gene expression,the VP2 gene of very virulent infectious bursal disease virus(vvIBDV)was inserted into this site,and recombinant LN16-A(rLN16A-vvVP2)was successfully rescued.Single immunization of specificpathogen-free chickens with rLN16A-vvVP2 induced high levels of neutralizing antibodies and provided 100%protection against the virulent aMPV subtype B and vvIBDV.Establishing a reverse genetics system here provides an important foundation for understanding aMPV pathogenesis and developing novel vector vaccines.

文摘The excited state dynamics and critically regulated factors of reverse intersystem crossing(RISC)in through-space charge transfer(TSCT)molecules have received insufficient attention.Here,five molecules of through space/bond charge transfer inducing thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)are prepared,and their excited state charge transfer processes are studied by ultrafast transient absorption and theoretical calculations.DM-Z has a largerΔEST,leading to a longer lifetime of intersystem crossing(ISC),resulting in the lowest photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY).Oppositely,ISC and RISC are demonstrated to take place with shorter lifetimes for TSCT molecules.The face-to-faceπ-πstacking interactions and electron communication enable DM-B and DM-BX to have an efficient RISC,increasing the weight coefficient of RISC from 1.7%(DM-X)to close to 50%(DM-B and DM-BX)in the solvents,which make DM-BX and DM-B to have a high PLQY.However,partial local excitation in the donor center is observed and the charge transfer is decreased for DM-G and DM-X.The triplet excited state(DM-G)or singlet excited state(DM-X)mainly undergoes inactivation through a non-radiative relaxation process,resulting in less RISC and low PLQY.This work provides theoretical hints to enhance the RISC process in the TADF materials.

文摘Recently,Yu and co-workers deeply explore the potential impact of free electron transfer between co-catalysts and photocatalyst carriers on H_(2)evolution efficiency of active sites over MoS_(2+x).They pro-pose an electron-reversal tactics to evade the unexpected electron transfer and synchronously regulate the above transfer in a beneficial orientation for weakening hydrogen adsorption on S sites.Herein,this highlight not only discusses and summarizes the essences of electron reversal and the optimized H ad-sorption/desorption mechanism,but also emphasizes the significance of femtosecond transient absorp-tion spectroscopy(fs-TAS)and in-situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(ISI-XPS)for revealing charge transfer dynamics and processes.We anticipate that this highlight can disseminate a new per-spective on the roles of photocatalyst carriers in improving cocatalytic H_(2)-production kinetics.

文摘This work studied the thickening progression mechanism of the silica fume-oil well cement composite system at high temperatures(110-180.C)in order to provide a theoretical guidance for the rational application of silica fume in the cementing engineering.Results showed that silica fume seldom affected the thickening progression of oil well cement slurry at 110-120.C,but when temperature reached above130.C,it would aggravate the bulging degree of thickening curves and significantly extend the thickening time,meanwhile causing the abnormal“temperature-based thickening time reversal”and“dosage-based thickening time reversal”phenomena in the range of 130-160.C and 170-180.C respectively.At 130-160.C,the thickening time of oil well cement slurry was mainly associated with the generation rate of calcium hydroxide(CH)crystal.The introduced silica fume would be attracted to the cement minerals'surface that were hydrating to produce CH and agglomerate together to form an“adsorptive barrier”to hinder further hydration of the inner cement minerals.This“adsorptive barrier”effect strengthened with the rising temperature which extended the thickening time and caused the occurrence of the“temperature-based thickening time reversal”phenomenon.At 170-180.C,the pozzolanic activity of silica fume significantly enhanced and considerable amount of C-S-H was generated,thus the“temperature-based thickening time reversal”vanished and the“dosage-based thickening time reversal”was presented.

文摘In reptiles,such as the red-eared slider turtle(Trachemys scripta elegans),gonadal sex determination is highly dependent on the environmental temperature during embryonic stages.This complex process,which leads to differentiation into either testes or ovaries,is governed by the finely tuned expression of upstream genes,notably the testis-promoting gene Dmrt1 and the ovary-promoting gene Foxl2.Recent studies have identified epigenetic regulation as a crucial factor in testis development,with the H3K27me3 demethylase KDM6B being essential for Dmrt1 expression in T.s.elegans.However,whether KDM6B alone can induce testicular differentiation remains unclear.In this study,we found that overexpression of Kdm6b in T.s.elegans embryos induced the male development pathway,accompanied by a rapid increase in the gonadal expression of Dmrt1 at 31°C,a temperature typically resulting in female development.Notably,this sex reversal could be entirely rescued by Dmrt1 knockdown.These findings demonstrate that Kdm6b is sufficient for commitment to the male pathway,underscoring its role as a critical epigenetic regulator in the sex determination of the red-eared slider turtle.

文摘CO_(2) is the most cost-eff ective and abundant carbon resource,while the reverse water-gas reaction(rWGS)is one of the most eff ective methods of CO_(2) utilization.This work presents a comparative study of rWGS activity for perovskite systems based on AFeO_(3)(where A=Ce,La,Y).These systems were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis(SCS)with diff erent ratios of fuel(glycine)and oxidizer(φ),diff erent amounts of NH 4 NO_(3),and the addition of alumina or silica as supports.Various techniques,including X-ray diff raction analysis,thermogravimetric analysis,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),scanning electron microscopy,energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy,N 2-physisorption,H_(2) temper-ature-programmed reduction,temperature-programmed desorption of H_(2) and CO_(2),Raman spectroscopy,and in situ FTIR,were used to relate the physicochemical properties with the catalytic performance of the obtained composites.Each specifi c perovskite-containing system(either bulk or supported)has its own optimalφand NH_(4) NO_(3) amount to achieve the highest yield and dispersion of the perovskite phase.Among all synthesized systems,bulk SCS-derived La-Fe-O systems showed the highest resistance to reducing environments and the easiest hydrogen desorption,outperforming La-Fe-O produced by solgel combustion(SGC).CO_(2) conversion into CO at 600°C for bulk ferrite systems,depending on the A-cation type and preparation method,follows the order La(SGC)<Y<Ce<La(SCS).The diff erences in properties between La-Fe-O obtained by the SCS and SGC methods can be attributed to diff erent ratios of oxygen and lanthanum vacancy contributions,hydroxyl coverage,morphology,and free iron oxide presence.In situ FTIR data revealed that CO_(2) hydrogenation occurs through formates generated under reaction conditions on the bulk system based on La-Fe-O,obtained by the SCS method.γ-Al_(2)O_(3) improves the dispersion of CeFeO_(3) and LaFeO_(3) phases,the specifi c surface area,and the quantity of adsorbed H_(2) and CO_(2).This led to a signifi cant increase in CO_(2) conversion for supported CeFeO_(3) but not for the La-based system compared to bulk and SiO_(2)-supported perovskite catalysts.However,adding alumina increased the activity per mass for both Ce-and La-based perovskite systems,reducing the amount of rare-earth components in the catalyst and thereby lowering the cost without substantially compromising stability.

文摘Unveiling the molecular mechanisms underlying rotavirus replication and pathogenesis has been hampered by the lack of a reverse genetics(RG)system in the past.Since 2017,multiple plasmid-based RG systems for simian,human,and murine-like rotaviruses have been established.However,none of the described methods have supported the recovery of bovine rotaviruses(BRVs).Here,we established an optimized plasmid-based RG system for BRV culture-adapted strain(BRV G10P[15]BLR)and clinical isolates(BRV G6P[1]C73,G10P[11]HM26)based on a BHK-T7 cell clone stably expressing T7 polymerase.Furthermore,using this optimized RG system,we successfully rescued the reporter virus BRV rC73/Zs,rHM26/Zs and rBLR/Zs,harboring a genetically modified 1.8-kb segment 7 encoding full-length nonstructural protein 3(NSP3)fused to ZsGreen,a 232-amino acid green fluorescent protein.Analysis of the stability of genomic insertions showed that the rC73/Zs and rBLR/Zs replicated efficiently and were genetically stable in seven rounds of serial passaging,while rHM26/Zs can be stabilized only up to the third generation,indicating that the BRV segment composition may influence the viral fitness.In addition,we adopted the recombinant reporter viruses for high-throughput screening application and discovered 12 candidates out of 1440 compounds with potential antiviral activities against rotavirus.In summary,this improved RG system of BRVs represents an important tool with great potential for understanding the molecular biology of BRV and facilitates the development of novel therapeutics and vaccines for BRV.

文摘The live attenuated hepatitis A virus vaccine H2 strain was developed by passaging a wild-type H2w isolate in cell cultures.Currently,the mechanism underlying its attenuation phenotype remain largely unknown.In this study,we generated a full-length infectious cDNA clone of the H2 strain using in-fusion techniques.The recovered H2 strain(H2ic)from the cDNA clone exhibited an efficient replication in both the hepatoma cell line Huh7.5.1 and the 2BS cell line used for vaccine production,similar to the parental H2 strain.Additionally,H2ic did not cause disease in Ifnar1-/- C57 mice,consistent with the H2 strain.To explore the cell-adaptive mutations of the H2 strain,chimeric viruses were generated by replacing its non-structural proteins with corresponding regions from H2w using the infectious cDNA clone as a genetic backbone.The chimeric viruses carrying the 3C or 3D proteins from H2w showed decreased replication in Huh7.5.1 and 2BS cell lines compared to H2ic.Other chimeric viruses containing the 2B,2C,or 3A proteins from H2w failed to be recovered.Furthermore,there were no significant differences in disease manifestation in mice between H2ic and the recovered chimeric viruses.These results demonstrate that adaptive mutations in the 2B,2C,and 3A proteins are essential for efficient replication of the H2 strain in cell cultures.Mutations in the 3C and 3D proteins contribute to enhanced replication in cell cultures but did not influence the attenuated phenotypes in mice.Together,this study presents the first reverse genetic system of the H2 strain and identifies viral proteins essential for adaptation to cell cultures.

文摘Hard carbon(HC)is widely used in sodium-ion batteries(SIBs),but its performance has always been limited by lowinitial Coulombic efficiency(ICE)and cycling stability.Cathode compensation agent is a favorable strategy to make up for the loss of active sodium ions consumed byHCanode.Yet it lacks agent that effectively decomposes to increase the active sodium ions as well as regulate carbon defects for decreasing the irreversible sodium ions consumption.Here,we propose 1,2-dihydroxybenzene Na salt(NaDB)as a cathode compensation agent with high specific capacity(347.9 mAh g^(-1)),lower desodiation potential(2.4–2.8 V)and high utilization(99%).Meanwhile,its byproduct could functionalize HC with more C=O groups and promote its reversible capacity.Consequently,the presodiation hard carbon(pHC)anode exhibits highly reversible capacity of 204.7 mAh g^(-1) with 98%retention at 5 C rate over 1000 cycles.Moreover,with 5 wt%NaDB initially coated on the Na3V2(PO4)3(NVP)cathode,the capacity retention of NVP + NaDB|HC cell could increase from 22%to 89%after 1000 cycles at 1 C rate.This work provides a new avenue to improve reversible capacity and cycling performance of SIBs through designing functional cathode compensation agent.

文摘Reversible solid oxide cell(RSOC)is a new energy conversion device with significant applications,especially for power grid peaking shaving.However,the reversible conversion process of power generation/energy storage poses challenges for the performance and stability of air electrodes.In this work,a novel high-entropy perovskite oxide La_(0.2)Pr_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Sm_(0.2)Sr_(0.2)Co_(0.8)Fe_(0.2)O_(3−δ)(HE-LSCF)is proposed and investigated as an air electrode in RSOC.The electrochemical behavior of HE-LSCF was studied as an air electrode in both fuel cell and electrolysis modes.The polarization impedance(Rp)of the HE-LSCF electrode is only 0.25Ω·cm^(2) at 800℃ in an air atmosphere.Notably,at an electrolytic voltage of 2 V and a temperature of 800℃,the current density reaches up to 1.68 A/cm^(2).The HE-LSCF air electrode exhibited excellent reversibility and stability,and its electrochemical performance remains stable after 100 h of reversible operation.With these advantages,HE-LSCF is shown to be an excellent air electrode for RSOC.

文摘Cancer multidrug resistance(MDR)impairs the therapeutic efficacy of various chemotherapeutics.Novel approaches,particularly the development of MDR reversal agents,are critically needed to address this challenge.This study demonstrates that tenacissoside I(TI),a compound isolated from Marsdenia tenacissima(Roxb.)Wight et Arn,traditionally used in clinical practice as an ethnic medicine for cancer treatment,exhibits significant MDR reversal effects in ABCB1-mediated MDR cancer cells.TI reversed the resistance of SW620/AD300 and KBV200 cells to doxorubicin(DOX)and paclitaxel(PAC)by downregulating ABCB1 expression and reducing ABCB1 drug transport function.Mechanistically,protein arginine methyltransferase 1(PRMT1),whose expression correlates with poor prognosis and shows positive association with both ABCB1 and EGFR expressions in tumor tissues,was differentially expressed in TI-treated SW620/AD300 cells.SW620/AD300 and KBV200 cells exhibited elevated levels of EGFR asymmetric dimethylarginine(aDMA)and enhanced PRMT1-EGFR interaction compared to their parental cells.Moreover,TI-induced PRMT1 downregulation impaired PRMT1-mediated aDMA of EGFR,PRMT1-EGFR interaction,and EGFR downstream signaling in SW620/AD300 and KBV200 cells.These effects were significantly reversed by PRMT1 overexpression.Additionally,TI demonstrated resistance reversal to PAC in xenograft models without detectable toxicities.This study establishes TI's MDR reversal effect in ABCB1-mediated MDR human cancer cells through inhibition of PRMT1-mediated aDMA of EGFR,suggesting TI's potential as an MDR modulator for improving chemotherapy outcomes.

文摘Nickel-rich(Ni≥90%)layered oxides materials have emerged as a promising candidate for nextgeneration high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).However,their widespread application is hindered by structural fatigue and lattice oxygen loss.In this work,an epitaxial surface rock-salt nanolayer is successfully developed on the LiNi_(0.9)Co_(0.1)O_(2)sub-surface via heteroatom anchoring utilizing high-valence element molybdenum modification.This in-situ formed conformal buffer phase with a thickness of 1.2 nm effectively suppresses the continuous interphase side-reactions,and thus maintains the excellent structure integrity at high voltage.Furthermore,theoretical calculations indicate that the lattice oxygen reversibility in the anion framework of the optimized sample is obviously enhanced due to the higher content of O 2p states near the Fermi level than that of the pristine one.Meanwhile,the stronger Mo-O bond further reduces cell volume alteration,which improves the bulk structure stability of modified materials.Besides,the detailed charge compensation mechanism suggests that the average oxidation state of Ni is reduced,which induces more active Li+participating in the redox reactions,boosting the cell energy density.As a result,the uniquely designed cathode materials exhibit an extraordinary discharge capacity of 245.4 mAh g^(-1)at 0.1 C,remarkable rate performance of 169.3 mAh g^(-1)at 10 C at 4.5 V,and a high capacity retention of 70.5% after 1000 cycles in full cells at a high cut-off voltage of 4.4 V.This strategy provides an valuable insight into constructing distinctive heterostructure on highperformance Ni-rich layered cathodes for LIBs.

文摘Developing highly active and stable air electrodes remains challenging for reversible solid oxide cells(R-SOCs).Herein,we re-port an A-site high-entropy engineered perovskite oxide,La_(0.2)Pr_(0.2)Nd_(0.2)Ba_(0.2)Sr_(0.2)Co_(0.8)Fe_(0.2)O_(3−δ)(HE-LSCF),and its electrocatalytic activity and stability property are systematically probed for tubular R-SOCs.The HE-LSCF air electrode exhibits excellent oxygen reduction reac-tion(ORR)activity with a low polarization resistance of 0.042Ω·cm^(2)at 700℃,which is much lower than that of La0.6Sr0.4Co_(0.8)Fe_(0.2)O_(3−δ)(LSCF),indicating the excellent catalytic activity of HE-LSCF.Meanwhile,the tubular R-SOCs with HE-LSCF shows a high peak power density of 1.18 W·cm^(−2)in the fuel cell mode and a promising electrolysis current density of−0.52 A·cm^(−2)at 1.5 V in the electrolysis mode with H_(2)(~10%H_(2)O)atmosphere at 700℃.More importantly,the tubular R-SOCs with HE-LSCF shows favorable stability under 180 h reversible cycling test.Our results show the high-entropy design can significantly enhance the activity and robustness of LSCF electrode for tubular R-SOCs.
