Radio-adaptive doses are also known to lead to an augmented cell or tissue reaction. The aim of this study was to investigate potential synergistic or additive effects when combining the two methods in vitro for an improved therapeutic concept in bladder cancer. Material and Methods: RT4 human bladder carcinoma cell line and HCV29 human bladder epithelium cells were seeded and incubated with various concentrations of Photofrin II. The cells were additionally irradiated with ionizing radiation (0.05 Gy/2 Gy/0.05 Gy + 2 Gy). Cells without Photofrin II incubation and irradiation served as controls. The cell survival was evaluated. Results: The survival rate of both cell lines, RT4 and HCV29, did not differ significantly when incubated with a non-toxic concentration of Photofrin II and exposed to a pre-irradiation dose of 0.05 Gy prior to the 2 Gy radiation fraction, compared to cells exposed to Photofrin II plus a 2 Gy ionizing radiation. Conclusion: The combination of both methods did neither demonstrate a synergistic or additive effect nor did it lead to a negative influence of both modulating factors in an in vitro setting.展开更多

Currently, the researches at home and abroad are all limited to the single study of either nano-lubricating oil additive or electroless deposited coating. The surface coating has high hardness and high wear resistance, however, the friction reduction performance of the coating with high hardness is not good, the thickness of the coating is limited, and the coating can not regenerate after wearing. The nano-lubricating additives have good tribological performance and self-repair function, but under heavy load, the self-repair rate to the worn surface with the nano-additives is smaller than the wearing rate of the friction pair. To solve the above problems, the Ni-W-P alloy coating and deposition process with excellent anti-wear, and suitable for industrial application were developed, the optimum bath composition and process can be obtained by studying the influence of the bath composition, temperature and PH value to the deposition rate and the plating solution stability. The tribological properties as well as anti-wear and friction reduction mechanism of wear self-repair nano-ceramic lubricating additives are also studied. The ring-block abrasion testing machine and energy dispersive spectrometer are used to explore the internal relation between the coating and the nano-lubricating oil additives, and the tribology mechanism, to seek the synergetic effect between the two. The test results show that the wear resistance of Ni-W-P alloy coating （with heat treatment and in oil with nano-ceramic additives） has increased hundreds times than 45 steel as the metal substrate in basic oil, the friction reduction performance is improved. This research breaks through the bottleneck of previous separate research of the above-mentioned two methods, and explores the combination use of the two methods in industrial field.展开更多

文摘The unit cell configuration of lattice structures critically influences their load-bearing and energy absorption performance.In this study,three novel lattice structures were developed by modifying the conventional FBCCZ unit cell through reversing,combining,and turning strategies.The designed lattices were fabricated via laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)using Ti-6Al-4V powder,and the mechanical properties,energy absorption capacity,and deformation behaviors were systematically investigated through quasi-static compression tests and finite element simulations.The results demonstrate that the three modified lattices exhibit superior performance over the conventional FBCCZ structure in terms of fracture strain,specific yield strength,specific ultimate strength,specific energy absorption,and energy absorption efficiency,thereby validating the efficacy of unit cell modifications in enhancing lattice performance.Notably,the CFBCCZ and TFBCCZ lattices significantly outperform both the FBCCZ and RFBCCZ lattice structures in load-bearing and energy absorption.While TFBCCZ shows marginally higher specific elastic modulus and energy absorption efficiency than CFBCCZ,the latter achieves superior energy absorption due to its highest ultimate strength and densification strain.Finite element simulations further reveal that the modified lattices,through optimized redistribution and adjustment of internal nodes and struts,effectively alleviate stress concentration during loading.This structural modification enhances the structural integrity and deformation stability under external loads,enabling a synergistic enhancement of load-bearing capacity and energy absorption performance.

文摘Wire arc additive manufacturing(WAAM)is one of the most promising approaches to manufacturing large and complex metal components owing to its low cost and high efficiency.However,pores and coarse columnar grains caused by thermal accumulation in WAAM significantly decrease the strength and increase the anisotropy,preventing the achievement of both high strength and isotropy.In this study,the strength and anisotropy of AlMg-Sc-Zr alloys were improved by regulating heat input.The results indicated that as the heat input increased from 60 to 99 J/mm,all the components had lower porosity(lower than 0.04%),the size of the Al_(3)(Sc_(1-x),Zr_(x))phases decreased,and the number density increased.The average grain size gradually decreased,and the grain morphologies transformed from coarse equiaxed grain(CEG)+fine equiaxed grain(FEG)to FEG owing to the increase in Al_(3)(Sc_(1-x),Zr_(x))phases with increasing heat input.After heat treatment at 325℃for 6 h,high-density dispersed Al_(3)Sc phases(<10 nm)precipitated.The alloy possessed the highest strength at 79 J/mm,ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of approximately 423±3 MPa,and in-plane anisotropy of approximately 4.3%.At a heat input of 99 J/mm,the in-plane anisotropy decreased to 1.2%and UTS reached 414±5 MPa.The reduction in the CEG prolonged the crack propagation path,which improved the UTS in the vertical direction and reduced the anisotropy.Theoretical calculations indicated that the main strengthening mechanisms were solid solution and precipitation strengthening.This study lays the theoretical foundations for WAAM-processed high-strength and isotropic Al alloy components.

文摘The electrochemical instability of traditional ether-based electrolytes poses a challenge for their use in high-voltage lithium metal batteries.Herein,a synergetic optimization strategy was proposed by introducing an additive with a strong electron-withdrawing group and significant steric hindrance-isosorbide dinitrate(ISDN),reconstructing the solvation structure and solid electrolyte interphase(SEI),enabling highly stable and efficient lithium metal batteries.We found that ISDN can strengthen the interaction between Li^(+)and the anions of lithium salts and weaken the interaction between Li^(+)and the solvent in the solvation structure.It promotes the formation of a LiF-rich and LiN_(x)O_(y)-rich SEI layer,enhancing the uniformity and compactness of Li deposition and inhibiting solvent decomposition,which effectively expands the electrochemical window to 4.8 V.The optimized Li‖Li cells offer stable cycling over 1000 h with an overpotential of only 57.7 mV at 1 mA cm^(-2).Significantly,Li‖3.7 mA h LiFePO_(4)cells retain 108.3%of initial capacity after 546 cycles at a rate of 3 C.Under high-loading conditions(Li‖4.9 mA h LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)O_(2)full cells)and a cutoff voltage of 4.5 V,the ISDN-containing electrolyte enables stable cycling for 140 cycles.This study leverages steric hindrance and electron-withdrawing effect to synergistically reconstruct the Li^(+)solvation structure and promote stable SEI formation,establishing a novel electrolyte paradigm for high-energy lithium metal batteries.
文摘Background: The radiosensitizing effect of Photofrin II has been demonstrated in vitro and in animal models, even in tumor models known to be highly radioresistant, such as glioblastoma and bladder carcinoma. Radio-adaptive doses are also known to lead to an augmented cell or tissue reaction. The aim of this study was to investigate potential synergistic or additive effects when combining the two methods in vitro for an improved therapeutic concept in bladder cancer. Material and Methods: RT4 human bladder carcinoma cell line and HCV29 human bladder epithelium cells were seeded and incubated with various concentrations of Photofrin II. The cells were additionally irradiated with ionizing radiation (0.05 Gy/2 Gy/0.05 Gy + 2 Gy). Cells without Photofrin II incubation and irradiation served as controls. The cell survival was evaluated. Results: The survival rate of both cell lines, RT4 and HCV29, did not differ significantly when incubated with a non-toxic concentration of Photofrin II and exposed to a pre-irradiation dose of 0.05 Gy prior to the 2 Gy radiation fraction, compared to cells exposed to Photofrin II plus a 2 Gy ionizing radiation. Conclusion: The combination of both methods did neither demonstrate a synergistic or additive effect nor did it lead to a negative influence of both modulating factors in an in vitro setting.

文摘Wire arc additive manufacturing(WAAM)has emerged as a promising approach for fabricating large-scale components.However,conventional WAAM still faces challenges in optimizing microstructural evolution,minimizing additive-induced defects,and alleviating residual stress and deformation,all of which are critical for enhancing the mechanical performance of the manufactured parts.Integrating interlayer friction stir processing(FSP)into WAAM significantly enhances the quality of deposited materials.However,numerical simulation research focusing on elucidating the associated thermomechanical coupling mechanisms remains insufficient.A comprehensive numerical model was developed to simulate the thermomechanical coupling behavior in friction stir-assisted WAAM.The influence of post-deposition FSP on the coupled thermomechanical response of the WAAM process was analyzed quantitatively.Moreover,the residual stress distribution and deformation behavior under both single-layer and multilayer deposition conditions were investigated.Thermal analysis of different deposition layers in WAAM and friction stir-assisted WAAM was conducted.Results show that subsequent layer deposition induces partial remelting of the previously solidified layer,whereas FSP does not cause such remelting.Furthermore,thermal stress and deformation analysis confirm that interlayer FSP effectively mitigates residual stresses and distortion in WAAM components,thereby improving their structural integrity and mechanical properties.

文摘Emerging ferroptosis-immunotherapy strategies,integrating functionalized nanoplatforms with ferroptosis-inducing agents and immunomodulatory therapeutics,demonstrate significant potential in managing primary,recurrent,and metastatic malignancies.Mechanistically,ferroptosis induction not only directly eliminates tumor cells but also promotes immunogenic cell death(ICD),eliciting damage-associated molecular patterns(DAMPs)release to activate partial antitumor immunity.However,standalone ferroptosis therapy fails to initiate robust systemic antitumor immune responses due to inherent limitations:low tumor immunogenicity,immunosuppressive microenvironment constraints,and tumor microenvironment(TME)-associated physiological barriers(e.g.,hypoxia,dense extracellular matrix).To address these challenges,synergistic approaches have been developed to enhance immune cell infiltration and reestablish immunosurveillance,encompassing(1)direct amplification of antitumor immunity,(2)disruption of immunosuppressive tumor niches,and(3)biophysical hallmark remodeling in TME.Rational nanocarrier design has emerged as a critical enabler for overcoming biological delivery barriers and optimizing therapeutic efficacy.Unlike prior studies solely addressing ferroptosis or nanotechnology in tumor therapy,this work first systematically outlines the synergistic potential of nanoparticles in combined ferroptosis-immunotherapy strategies.It advances multidimensional nanoplatform design principles for material selection,structural configuration,physicochemical modulation,multifunctional integration,and artificial intelligence-enabled design,providing a scientific basis for efficacy optimization.Moreover,it examines translational challenges of ferroptosis-immunotherapy nanoplatforms across preclinical and clinical stages,proposing actionable solutions while envisioning future onco-immunotherapy directions.Collectively,it provides systematic insights into advanced nanomaterial design principles and therapeutic optimization strategies,offering a roadmap for accelerating clinical translation in onco-immunotherapy research.

文摘Benzalkonium chloride(BAC)is widely employed as a broad-spectrum biocide and has emerged as a significant environmental pollutant.Polymyxin B(PB)serves as the last-line defense for the treatment of Gram-negative pathogens.Previous studies reported that BAC-adapted Pseudomonas aeruginosa increased the tolerance to PB.Herein,we present the novel finding that the combination of BAC and PB exhibited synergistic antibacterial effects against P.aeruginosa.Time-killing assay demonstrated a significant reduction in bacterial cell viability.Scanning electron microscopy,zeta potential analysis,hydrophobicity measurements,and fluorescence probe analyses collectively revealed severe disruption of the cell envelope and membrane potential induced by the combination of BAC and PB.Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the BAC-PB combination notably downreg-ulated the expression of genes involved in lipid A modification and cell envelope production,including phoPQ,pmrAB,bamABCDE,lptABCDEG,lolB,yidC,and murJ.Additionally,the combination group exhibited augmented production of reactive oxygen species and diminished ATP synthesis.The expression of the genes associated with substance metabolism and energy generation was significantly impeded.This study provides significant implica-tions for the interactions of biocides and antibiotics on Gram-negative pathogens,while also addressing antibiotic resistance and developing the external treatment strategy for Pseudomonas-infected wounds and burns.

文摘This study developed a novel heterogeneous Vis-Photo+Fenton-like system by integrating visible-light-responsive Co_(3)O_(4)/TiO_(2) photocatalysis with peroxymonosulfate(PMS)activation for efficient atrazine(ATZ)degradation.The synergistic process achieved complete ATZ removal within 60 min under near-neutral pH(6.9),outperform-ing individual Fenton-like(39%)and photocatalytic(24%)processes.Key factors influencing the degradation efficiency included light sources(UV>visible),pH(optimal at 6.9),catalyst dosage(0.01 g Co_(3)O_(4)/TiO_(2)),and PMS:ATZ molar ratio(1:2).The system exhibited a synergistic coefficient of 5.03(degradation)and 1.97(miner-alization),attributed to enhanced radical generation and accelerated Co^(3+)/Co^(2+)redox cycling through photoin-duced electron transfer.Intermediate analysis revealed dealkylation,dechlorination,and oxidation pathways,with reduced toxicity of by-products(e.g.,CEAT,CIAT)confirmed by ecotoxicity assessments.The mineralization efficiency(Vis-Photo+Fenton-like)reached 83.1%,significantly higher than that of standalone processes(Fenton-like:43.2%;photocatalysis:30.5%).The catalyst demonstrated excellent stability(nearly 90%recov-ery,<1μg/L Co leaching)and practical applicability.This study provides an efficient,sludge-free,and solar-compatible strategy for eliminating persistent herbicides in water treatment.

文摘Additive manufacturing(AM),with its high flexibility,cost-effectiveness,and customization,significantly accelerates the advancement of nanogenerators,contributing to sustainable energy solutions and the Internet of Things.In this review,an in-depth analysis of AM for piezoelectric and triboelectric nanogenerators is presented from the perspectives of fundamental mechanisms,recent advancements,and future prospects.It highlights AM-enabled advantages of versatility across materials,structural topology optimization,microstructure design,and integrated printing,which enhance critical performance indicators of nanogenerators,such as surface charge density and piezoelectric constant,thereby improving device performance compared to conventional fabrication.Common AM techniques for nanogenerators,including fused deposition modeling,direct ink writing,stereolithography,and digital light processing,are systematically examined in terms of their working principles,improved metrics(output voltage/current,power density),theoretical explanation,and application scopes.Hierarchical relationships connecting AM technologies with performance optimization and applications of nanogenerators are elucidated,providing a solid foundation for advancements in energy harvesting,self-powered sensors,wearable devices,and human-machine interaction.Furthermore,the challenges related to fabrication quality,cross-scale manufacturing,processing efficiency,and industrial deployment are critically discussed.Finally,the future prospects of AM for nanogenerators are explored,aiming to foster continuous progress and innovation in this field.

文摘Low-velocity impact tests are carried out to explore the energy absorption characteristics of bio-inspired lattices,mimicking the architecture of the marine sponge organism Euplectella aspergillum.These sea sponge-inspired lattice structures feature a square-grid 2D lattice with double diagonal bracings and are additively manufactured via digital light processing(DLP).The collapse strength and energy absorption capacity of sea sponge lattice structures are evaluated under various impact conditions and are compared to those of their constituent square-grid and double diagonal lattices.This study demonstrates that sea sponge lattices can achieve an 11-fold increase in energy absorption compared to the square-grid lattice,due to the stabilizing effect of the double diagonal bracings prompting the structure to collapse layer-bylayer under impact.By adjusting the thickness ratio in the sea sponge lattice,up to 76.7%increment in energy absorption is attained.It is also shown that sea-sponge lattices outperform well-established energy-absorbing materials of equal weight,such as hexagonal honeycombs,confirming their significant potential for impact mitigation.Additionally,this research highlights the enhancements in energy absorption achieved by adding a small amount(0.015 phr)of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes(MWCNTs)to the photocurable resin,thus unlocking new possibilities for the design of innovative lightweight structures with multifunctional attributes.

文摘The effect of Cr addition on nickel aluminium bronze(NAB)alloy microstructure,mechanical properties,and erosion-corrosion behaviour has been studied.The results show that Cr addition does not change the composition of the precipitated phases,more Cr entered theκphase and a small amount of Cr solubilized in the matrix,which increase the hardness of theκand matrix and decrease the potential difference between theκand matrix.NAB alloy with Cr shows high erosion-corrosion resistance at high flow rate conditions,due to its lower phase potential difference and higher surface hardness.At the flow rate of 3 m·s^(-1),the corrosion rate is 0.076 mm·year^(-1),which is~20%lower than that of the unadded Cr sample.Moreover,the corrosion product film contains Cr_(2)O_(3)and Cr^(3+),which improves the densification of the film and raises alloy’s corrosion resistance with Cr addition.The combination of mechanical and corrosion resistant properties may qualify this alloy as a potential candidate material for sustainable and safe equipment.

文摘Bulk metallic glasses(BMGs)are typically characterized by high strength and elasticity.However,they generally demonstrate a deficiency in plastic deformation capability at room temperatures.In this work,Cu_(50-x)Zr_(46)Al4Agx(x=0,1,2,3,4)alloys were prepared by arc melting and copper mold casting to investigate their structure,glass-forming ability,and mechanical properties.The results show that the addition of Ag can increase the parameter of DTx and g in Cu_(50)Zr_(46)Al_(4)alloy by 116%and 1.5%respectively,effectively enhancing its thermal stability and glass-forming ability.Compressive fracture tests reveal that the addition of Ag can significantly improve the yield strength,ultimate strength,and plasticity of the Cu_(50)Zr_(46)Al_(4)alloy.Specifically,with the Ag addition of 1 at.%,the alloy’s ultimate strength and plasticity increased by 71.8%and 21 times,respectively.Furthermore,the introduction of Ag can effectively control the free volume content in the Cu_(50)Zr_(46)Al_(4)alloy,thereby tuning the hardness of the material.This work provides valuable insights into improving the mechanical performance of BMGs through micro-alloying approaches.
文摘Electrodeposition of acid copper plating on mild steel substrate is tedious due to the galvanic displacement reaction ofcopper on mild steel.This can be avoided by using a proper complexing agent,because the complexing agent tuned the potential ofnoble direction to less noble direction by complex formation.In this paper,environment friendly electrodeposition of copper fromnon-cyanide electrolyte using sodium gluconate as complexing agent was investigated in alkaline medium.The effects of additivessuch as1,2,3-benzotriazole,sodium lauryl sulphate,PEG8000and saccharin were studied.These additives are found to reduce thegrain size,grain boundaries and improve surface morphology of the copper deposits.Also they improve the throwing power of thedepositing electrolytes and hardness of deposits.The electrodeposited copper coatings were characterized by X-ray diffractiontechnique.XRD results indicate that the electrodeposited copper shows polycrystalline and face centered cubic structure.The crystalsize was calculated by XRD and AFM analysis.Among these additives studied,the mixture of benzotriazole and sodium laurylsulphate acts as the best additive.A uniform pore-free surface observed under SEM and AFM results reveal the grain refining broughtabout by the additives.

文摘Solid electrolytes with desirable properties such as high ionic conductivity,wide electrochemical stable window,and suitable mechanical strength,and stable electrode-electrolyte interfaces on both cathode and anode side are essential for high-voltage all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs)to achieve excellent cycle stability.In this work,a novel strategy of using LiF and LiNO_(3) as synergistic additives to boost the performance of PEO-PVDF/LLZTO-based composite solid electrolytes(CSEs)is developed,which also promotes the assembled high-voltage ASSLBs with dual-interfaces stability characteristic.Specifically,LiF as an inactive additive can increase the electrochemical stability of the CSE under high cut-off voltage,and improve the high-voltage compatibility between cathode and CSE,thus leading to a stable cathode/CSE interface.LiNO_(3) as an active additive can lead to an enhanced ionic conductivity of CSE due to the increased free-mobile Li+and ensure a stable CSE/Li interface by forming stable solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)on Li anode surface.Benefiting from the improved performance of CSE and stable dualinterfaces,the assembled NCM622/9[PEO_(15)-LiTFSI]-PVDF-15 LLZTO-2 LiF-3 LiNO_(3)/Li cell delivers a high rate capacity of 102.1 mAh g^(-1) at 1.0 C and a high capacity retention of 77.4%after 200 cycles at 0.5 C,which are much higher than those of the ASSLB assembled with additive-free CSE,with only 60.0 mAh g^(-1) and 52.0%,respectively.Furthermore,novel cycle test modes of resting for 5 h at different charge states after every 5 cycles are designed to investigate the high-voltage compatibility between cathode and CSE,and the results suggest that LiF additive can actually improve the high-voltage compatibility of cathode and CSE.All the obtained results confirm that the strategy of using synergistic additives in CSE is an effective way to achieve high-voltage ASSLBs with dual-interfaces stability.
文摘The major solving ways for the material wear are surface modification and lubrication. Currently, the researches at home and abroad are all limited to the single study of either nano-lubricating oil additive or electroless deposited coating. The surface coating has high hardness and high wear resistance, however, the friction reduction performance of the coating with high hardness is not good, the thickness of the coating is limited, and the coating can not regenerate after wearing. The nano-lubricating additives have good tribological performance and self-repair function, but under heavy load, the self-repair rate to the worn surface with the nano-additives is smaller than the wearing rate of the friction pair. To solve the above problems, the Ni-W-P alloy coating and deposition process with excellent anti-wear, and suitable for industrial application were developed, the optimum bath composition and process can be obtained by studying the influence of the bath composition, temperature and PH value to the deposition rate and the plating solution stability. The tribological properties as well as anti-wear and friction reduction mechanism of wear self-repair nano-ceramic lubricating additives are also studied. The ring-block abrasion testing machine and energy dispersive spectrometer are used to explore the internal relation between the coating and the nano-lubricating oil additives, and the tribology mechanism, to seek the synergetic effect between the two. The test results show that the wear resistance of Ni-W-P alloy coating （with heat treatment and in oil with nano-ceramic additives） has increased hundreds times than 45 steel as the metal substrate in basic oil, the friction reduction performance is improved. This research breaks through the bottleneck of previous separate research of the above-mentioned two methods, and explores the combination use of the two methods in industrial field.

文摘The synergistic effect of low Gd+Mn additions on the evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg−xGd−0.8Mn alloy was investigated.Gd addition shows a strong grain refinement effect on the extruded Mg−xGd−0.8Mn alloy,and leads to a continuous decrease in the area fraction of basal texture grains and the corresponding maximum density of texture components.However,the maximum density of the basal texture components grows abruptly as Gd content increases to 6 wt.%.When the Gd content is below 6 wt.%,the asymmetry of the tensile and compressive yield of the alloy is negatively correlated to the Gd content due to grain refinement and texture weakening effects.Besides,the contribution of grain refinement to higher alloy yield strength is more significant than that of grain orientation.Compared with the extruded Mg−xGd alloy,the extruded Mg−xGd−0.8Mn alloy shows a lower limit composition point that corresponds to solid solution strengthening and plasticizing effect(2 wt.%and 4 wt.%).Finally,the trend of basal slip and prismatic slip resistance variations of the extruded Mg−xGd−0.8Mn alloys was predicted.
