The intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)-damaged protein facilitates tumor cell apoptosis. However, there is growing evidence that the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway(UPP) significantly impedes PDT by preventing the enrichment of ROS-damaged proteins in tumor cells. To tackle this challenge, we report a facile dual-drug nanoassembly based on the discovery of an interesting co-assembly of bortezomib(BTZ, a proteasome inhibitor) and pyropheophorbide a(PPa) for proteasome inhibition-mediated PDT sensitization.The precisely engineered nanoassembly with the optimal dose ratio of BTZ and PPa demonstrates multiple advantages, including simple fabrication, high drug co-loading efficiency, flexible dose adjustment,good colloidal stability, long systemic circulation, favorable tumor-specific accumulation, as well as significant enrichment of ROS-damaged proteins in tumor cells. As a result, the cooperative nanoassembly exhibits potent synergistic antitumor activity in vivo. This study provides a novel dual-drug engineering modality for multimodal cancer treatment.展开更多

However, almost all command and control（C＆C） mechanisms only provide publishing one com- mand to the whole once, so-called one-to-all C＆C model, and are not productive to support CXPST-alike attacks. In this paper, we present one-to-any C＆C model on coordination among the unco- operative controlled nodes. As an instance of one-to-any C＆C model, directional command publishing （DCP） mechanism lever- aging on Kademlia is provided with a range-mapping key creating algorithm for commands to compute the publishing range and a statistically stochastic node querying scheme to obtain the com- mands immediately. With theoretical analysis and simulation, it is indicated that one-to-any C＆C model fits for precisely coordi- nated operation on uncooperative controlled nodes with least complexity, better accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, DCP mechanism can support one-to-all command publishing at the same time. As an example of future C＆C model, studying on one-to-any C＆C model may help to promote the development of more efficient countermeasures.展开更多

In this review, we synthesize advances across mechanotransduction(Piezo1;YAP/TAZ), focaladhesion/cytoskeletal regulation(vinculin, filamin-A;upstream talin-1/Kindlin-2/paxillin), and niche inflammatory mediators(HE4, IL-36/IL-38) to explain how mechanical stress and cytokines co-produce persistent catabolism, synovial invasion, and fibrotic remodeling. We articulate a dual-hit model in which OA is predominantly mechanical-overload-driven, with secondary inflammation, whereas RA is immune-driven but imposes abnormal mechanical stress that further distorts joint biomechanics;both converge on canonical hubs(NF-κB/MAPK/JAK-STAT) to accelerate matrix degradation and apoptosis. Building on this framework, we propose integrated multi-marker panels that combine mechanosensors and adhesion proteins with conventional assays(CRP, ESR, anti-CCP) to enhance differential diagnosis and prognostication, particularly in postmenopausal women, where estrogen decline heightens mechano-immune susceptibility, thereby offering a means to quantify the impact of mechano-immune dysregulation. Integrating mechanotransductive and cytoskeletal biomarkers with conventional serological indices has been reported to improve differential diagnosis between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in exploratory studies. While the magnitude of diagnostic gain varies across cohorts, combined biomarker strategies generally show enhanced discriminatory performance compared with single-marker approaches. These findings highlight translational potential but require validation in large, standardized clinical populations before routine implementation. Finally, we map translational opportunities spanning Piezo1 inhibition(GsMTx4), YAP/TAZ blockade(verteporfin), IL-36 axis antagonism(IL-36Ra, IL-38), anti-HE4 strategies for RA-ILD, and adhesion-stabilizing approaches, alongside mechanoresponsive biomaterials for regenerative applications and precision medicine guided by biomarker profiles. Collectively, this review reframes OA and RA as mechano-immune syndromes and delineates a clinically actionable roadmap from biophysics to bedside.展开更多

文摘CONSPECTUS:Nanozymes are nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like properties that can overcome the current limitations of natural enzymes,such as high preparation cost,instability,restricted application scenarios,etc.Since the Fe3O4 nanoparticles(NPs)were shown to possess the peroxidase(POD)-like activity in 2007,thousands of nanomaterials were reported to mimic the catalytic properties of various types of enzymes including catalase(CAT),haloperoxidase,superoxide dismutase(SOD),glucose oxidase,glutathione peroxidase,hydrolase,nuclease,nitroreductase,and others.
文摘石笋因具有高分辨率、可精确定年和陆地分布广泛等优势,已成为古气候研究的第四大支柱,中国科学家建立的69万年氧同位素集成序列更成为轨道与千年尺度研究的全球基准。然而,石笋氧同位素的指示意义仍存在争议,尤其在东亚季风区其气候解译面临挑战,准确测定石笋碳氧同位素是古气候重建的重要基础。当前,高精度双路进样同位素质谱测试仍面临微量样品分析稳定性不足、实验室间数据可比性缺乏统一标准等关键问题,且高精度双路进样同位素质谱测试尚缺乏系统性的质量控制体系研究,制约了高分辨率石笋序列的可靠性与国际可比性。为此,本文建立了超微量碳酸盐碳氧同位素双路进样测试的质控方法,从参考气稳定性、标准样品重复性等多维度系统评估了新一代双路进样质谱仪(Isoprime PrecisION)的可靠性与数据质量;并以陕西汉中地洞河溶洞编号为DDH-B15的石笋为对象,开展独立点对点重复性测试,同个石笋样品不同实验室的一致性测试结果确认了新建实验室分析方法的可靠性。本文进一步探讨了末次冰期20~17 ka BP(BP表示距1950之前)时段亚洲季风的显著增强现象,提出其驱动机制可能涉及冰期东部海岸线变迁与西太平洋海温异常所诱发的厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)模态转变。本研究指出轨道尺度上中部地区氧同位素是东西部水汽氧同位素的混合状态,水汽来源对石笋氧同位素有重要影响,这对石笋氧同位素的解释提供了帮助。

文摘Machado-Joseph disease,or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3(SCA3),represents the most common autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia worldwide.Despite its progressive and debilitating nature,disease-modifying therapies remain elusive.Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)has emerged as a promising non-invasive intervention;however,its clinical application has been hindered by inconsistent protocols and a lack of mechanistic understanding.A recent landmark study published in Brain Stimulation by Chen et al.addressed these challenges by combining a high-dose intermittent theta-burst stimulation(iTBS)protocol with concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation-electroencephalography(TMS-EEG).This commentary provides an in-depth analysis of their findings,highlighting the restoration of cerebello-cortical inhibition(CBI)as a key therapeutic mechanism.Furthermore,we discuss the broader implications of this work,proposing that future translational research should integrate accelerated iTBS(aiTBS)paradigms,cortical response measurements(CRM),and individualized neuro-navigation to establish a new era of precision neuromodulation for ataxia.

文摘Chilo suppressalis(Walker)is one of the most important rice pests worldwide,posing a significant challenge to effective control.To develop a precision-timed,eco-friendly management strategy,overwintering population investigation and dynamic monitoring of C.suppressalis populations were conducted in the Meishan region of Sichuan,China,from 2023 to 2024.The optimal timing for insecticide application was estimated,followed by field trials evaluating the efficacy of different insecticides.Results demonstrated that the peak emergence of first-generation adults typically occurred in early July(under the environmental conditions of the Meishan region),with the ambient humidity below 75%and temperature around 29◦C.Pesticide efficacy trials show that insecticide combinations exhibited superior control.Notably,a combined treatment of emamectin benzoate⋅methoxyfenozide+chlorantraniliprole achieved the highest control efficacy(90.05%)and a corresponding yield of 12,491.55 kg/ha.All tested treatments were determined to be safe for rice growth.Furthermore,this optimized strategy resulted in notable economic benefits,including a 50%reduction in pesticide usage and cost savings of 4796.15 CNY compared to conventional practices.This study provides valuable insights into sustainable rice production and pest management and,for the first time,proposes a precision application time window based on intelligent monitoring.

文摘The fine-scale characterization of vegetation surface information serves as a fundamental basis for studying the spatial distribution of resources and the dynamic patterns of environmental responses.Accurately extracting the distributions of different crop species is of critical importance for improving agricultural production efficiency and ensuring food security.Traditional fine-scale vegetation extraction methods often face significant challenges due to the presence of spectrally similar features and the substantial influence of background interference,which limit their applicability across large areas.As a key phenological stage of angiosperms,flowering is characterized by distinctive flowering times,floral morphology,and canopy spectral signatures,so it is an effective pathway for fine-scale vegetation extraction using remote sensing.Using rapeseed as an example,this study developed a spectral index model for precise flowering vegetation extraction(FI-R)based on Landsat OLI imagery.The model integrates a yellowness index(Blue,Green)and a peak index(Red,Nir and SWIR1)while leveraging the NDVI to mitigate background interference from spectrally similar objects.This approach successfully enables the rapid and accurate large-scale mapping of flowering vegetation under complex background conditions.The proposed method was tested in five rapeseed cultivation regions worldwide with diverse backgrounds.Validation datasets were generated using GF imagery and the U.S.CDL dataset.The FI-R model demonstrated superior capability in distinguishing flowering rapeseed from other vegetation,and achieved overall accuracies exceeding 94%in all study areas.Furthermore,FI-R is compatible with other multispectral sensors that have similar band configurations,so it is applicable to rapeseed extraction in broader contexts.The method also shows strong potential for the fine-scale extraction of other types of flowering angiosperm vegetation.

文摘Peptide-and drug-protected gold nanoclusters(Au NCs)with atomic precision have attracted research attention in the last few years owing to their ultrasmall size(<2 nm),well-defined structures,tunable photoluminescence from the visible to near-infrared range,water solubility,and good biocompatibility.These features,combined with low toxicity and efficient renal clearance,make such Au NCs promising candidates for biomedical use,including diagnosis,therapy,and theranostic.The incorporation of peptides or drugs into Au NCs enhances the stability,targeting specificity,cellular uptake,and prolonged circulation,enabling precise modulation of biological responses.Despite notable advances in achieving atomic precision employing complex ligands such as peptides or drugs,the synthetic methods of this new class of NCs remain a challenge.Careful control of molar ratio(Au:peptide/drug),reducing agent,temperature,and reaction time is required,because these factors directly influence the cluster size,optical properties,and in vivo performance.In this review,we highlight different synthetic approaches of atomically precise peptide-and drug-protected Au NCs,emphasizing the role of rational ligand design and reaction conditions,as well as the challenges associated with structural determination.We further discuss the optical and photoluminescence properties of peptide-protected Au NCs-the mostly explored features for biomedical applications.Finally,we conclude by outlining the current challenges,opportunities for scale-up synthesis,and future design perspectives for these emerging nanomaterials.

文摘The stator of the maglev track plays a crucial role in the operation of the maglev system.Currently,the efficiency of maglev track inspection is limited by several factors,including the large span of elevated structures,manual visual inspection,short inspection window times,and limited GPS positioning accuracy.To address these issues,this paper proposes a deep learning-based method for detecting and locating stator surface damage.This study establishes a maglev track stator surface image dataset,trains different object detection models,and compares their performance.Ultimately,YOLO and ByteTrack object tracking algorithms were chosen as the basic framework and enhanced to achieve automatic identification of high-speed maglev track stator surface damage images and track and count stator surface localization feature images.By matching the identified damaged images with their corresponding stator segment and beam segment sequence numbers,the location of the damage is pinpointed to the corresponding stator segment,enabling rapid and accurate identification and localization of complex damage to the maglev track stator surface.

文摘Transplant rejection remains a leading cause of graft failure after organ transplantation.Current immunosuppressive therapies can reduce acute rejection,but their lack of specificity often leads to systemic side effects and long-term complications.Therefore,novel strategies for localized and durable immune regulation are urgently needed.Nanomedicine offers a promising approach by enabling the precise delivery of therapeutic agents to specific cells or tissues involved in the rejection process.Through rational design,nanoparticles can be engineered to carry immunosuppressive molecules and selectively target transplanted organs,immune organs such as lymph nodes and spleen,or key immune cells,including dendritic cells,macrophages,and T lymphocytes.These delivery systems improve drug bioavailability,reduce off-target effects,and allow controlled or responsive drug release in complex immune environments.In this review,we summarize recent advances in nanoparticle-based interventions for transplant rejection.We discuss the design and classification of nanoparticles,delivery strategies tailored to different graft types,and therapeutic mechanisms targeting various stages and components of the immune response.Examples of both systemic and local administration routes are presented,demonstrating the versatility of nanomedicine in addressing diverse clinical scenarios.Despite encouraging progress in preclinical studies,several challenges continue to limit clinical translation.These include variability in nanoparticle behavior across species,difficulties in large-scale manufacturing,and the lack of standardized regulatory frameworks.Continued efforts in materials innovation,biological validation,and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential to fully realize the clinical potential of nanomedicine in transplantation.
