The nanocomposite was obtained by using an ordered two-dimensional（2D） hexagonal mesoporous anatase 70 TiO2-30 SiO2-950 nanocomposite（crystallized at 950 °C for 2 h） as a precursor, NaO H as an etchant of SiO2 via a ＂creating mesopores in the pore walls＂ approach. Our strategy adopts mild conditions of creating pores such as diluted NaO H solution, appropriate temperature and solid/liquid ratio, etc. aiming at ensuring the integrities of mesopores architecture and anatase nanocrystals. XRD, TEM and N2 sorption techniques have been used to systematically investigate the physico-chemical properties of the nanocomposites. The results show that the intrawall mesopores are highly dense and uniform（average pore size 3.6 nm）, and highly link the initial mesochannels in a 3D manner while retaining mesostructural integrity. There is no significant change to either crystallinity or size of the anatase nanocrystals before and after creating the intrawall mesopores. The photocatalytic degradation rates of rhodamine B（RhB, 0.303 min^–1） and methylene blue（MB, 0.757 min^–1） dyes on the resultant nanocomposite are very high, which are 5.1 and 5.3 times that of the precursor; even up to 16.5 and 24.1 times that of Degussa P25 photocatalyst, respectively. These results clearly demonstrate that the 3D interconnected mesopores structure plays an overwhelming role to the increments of activities. The 3D mesoporous anatase TiO2-SiO2 nanocomposite exhibits unexpected-high degradation activities to RhB and MB in the mesoporous metal oxide-based materials reported so far. Additionally, the nanocomposite is considerably stable and reusable. We believe that this method would pave the way for the preparation of other 3D highly interconnected mesoporous metal oxide-based materials with ultra-high performance.展开更多

文摘Three-dimensional（3D）ordered mesoporous MnO2 was prepared using KIT-6 mesoporous molecular sieves as a hard template.The material was used for catalytic oxidation of HCHO.The material has high surface areas and the mesoporous characteristics of the template,with cubic symmetry（ia3d）.It consists of a β-MnO2 crystalline phase corresponding to pyrolusite,with a rutile structure.Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the 3D-MnO2 catalyst has a large number of exposed Mn4＋ ions on the（110）crystal plane surfaces,with a lattice spacing of 0.311 nm; this enhances oxidation of HCHO.Complete conversion of HCHO to CO2 and H2O was achieved at 130 °C on 3D-MnO2; the same conversions on α-MnO2 and β-MnO2 nanorods were obtained at 140 and 180 °C,respectively,under the same conditions.The specific mesoporous structure,high specific surface area,and large number of surface Mn4＋ ions are responsible for the catalytic activity of 3D-MnO2 in HCHO oxidation.

文摘In this article, we report the preparation of a three-dimensional（3D） interconnected mesoporous anatase TiO2-SiO2 nanocomposite. The nanocomposite was obtained by using an ordered two-dimensional（2D） hexagonal mesoporous anatase 70 TiO2-30 SiO2-950 nanocomposite（crystallized at 950 °C for 2 h） as a precursor, NaO H as an etchant of SiO2 via a ＂creating mesopores in the pore walls＂ approach. Our strategy adopts mild conditions of creating pores such as diluted NaO H solution, appropriate temperature and solid/liquid ratio, etc. aiming at ensuring the integrities of mesopores architecture and anatase nanocrystals. XRD, TEM and N2 sorption techniques have been used to systematically investigate the physico-chemical properties of the nanocomposites. The results show that the intrawall mesopores are highly dense and uniform（average pore size 3.6 nm）, and highly link the initial mesochannels in a 3D manner while retaining mesostructural integrity. There is no significant change to either crystallinity or size of the anatase nanocrystals before and after creating the intrawall mesopores. The photocatalytic degradation rates of rhodamine B（RhB, 0.303 min^–1） and methylene blue（MB, 0.757 min^–1） dyes on the resultant nanocomposite are very high, which are 5.1 and 5.3 times that of the precursor; even up to 16.5 and 24.1 times that of Degussa P25 photocatalyst, respectively. These results clearly demonstrate that the 3D interconnected mesopores structure plays an overwhelming role to the increments of activities. The 3D mesoporous anatase TiO2-SiO2 nanocomposite exhibits unexpected-high degradation activities to RhB and MB in the mesoporous metal oxide-based materials reported so far. Additionally, the nanocomposite is considerably stable and reusable. We believe that this method would pave the way for the preparation of other 3D highly interconnected mesoporous metal oxide-based materials with ultra-high performance.
文摘Carbon-based materials have gained significant attention in anticancer treatment because of their exceptional biocompatibility,yet critical challenges persist in establishing definitive correlations between their porous structures and functional performance.We report the use of a silica template to guide pore formation in the design of mesoporous carbon spheres(mC)with tailored pore structures for improved combined photothermal-chemotherapy.The mesopore size of mC has been adjusted by kinetic control of the resin polymerization and silica hydrolysis.Structural characterization showed that 4.4 nm mesopores enabled an exceptional gemcitabine loading of 228 mg g^(−1) and a sustained pH/thermal dual-responsive release with>70%drug release under near-infrared(NIR)irradiation.Finite element analysis demonstrated pore size-dependent heat transfer dynamics,with the improved mC achieving a superior photothermal conversion efficiency of 62%by a combination of N-doping and defect engineering.In vitro evaluations confirmed outstanding biocompatibility with>95%cell viability at 200μg mL^(−1) and potent tumor suppression in pancreatic and biliary cancer models with an~5%cell viability at 25μg mL^(−1) where combined therapy showed a 3.7-fold increased cytotoxicity over monotherapy.The improved structure of mC facilitated cascade therapeutic effects with enhanced tumor permeability derived from NIR-triggered hyperthermia and prolonged therapeutic exposure due to pH-responsive drug release.This pore engineering strategy establishes a structure-function process for next-generation theranostic platforms,addressing the critical limitations of conventional pancreatic and biliary cancer therapies through spatiotemporal control of multimodal treatment.

文摘Smart pesticide delivery systems based on stimuli-responsive nanocarriers have attracted considerable attention because of their potential to enhance pesticide efficiency while reducing environmental risks.In this study,a novel p H/glutathione dual-responsive pesticide delivery system was constructed through the synthesis of disulfide-bridged hollow mesoporous organosilica nanospheres(HMONs)via the St??ber method,followed by poly(acrylic acid)(PAA)coating through distillation-precipitation polymerization to form HMONs@PAA nanocomposites.The resulting abamectin-loaded system(Abamectin-HMONs@PAA)demonstrated a 12.73% pesticide loading capacity and significantly improved photostability,retaining twice as much active ingredient as free abamectin after 250 h of UV irradiation(36 W).Release studies revealed p H-and glutathione-dependent characteristics,with cumulative releases in acidic conditions exceeding those in neutral and alkaline environments by 18.66% and 40.98%,respectively,and a 14.2% increase in glutathione-containing solution(0.2 mmol·L^(-1) in 70% ethanol)after 97 h.Bioassays showed superior performance against Plutella xylostella,with a 13.33% reduction in survival rate compared to conventional suspension at equivalent dosage(40 mg·L^(-1)),while maintaining efficacy after extensive rainfall simulation(20 events over 10 days).This study provides a promising approach for developing environmentally responsive nanopesticides with enhanced durability and controlled-release properties,offering significant potential for sustainable crop protection.

文摘The intrinsic insulation and drastic volume change of the red phosphorus during the 3-electron alloying process greatly limits its widespread applications in sodium-ion batteries.Here,we report a monomicelle-directed assembly approach for controllable synthesis of monodispersed mesoporous polypyrrole(PPy)nanospheres,which allows for the shape-preserving conversion into N-doped carbon with regular mesoscopic pore and high surface area,thus affording a high dispersion of red phosphorus during melt impregnation process due to the available diffusion apertures and strong molecular chemical anchoring.Moreover,the theoretical calculations further revealed that positively polarized pyridine N atoms in N-doped mesoporous carbon nanospheres can empower comprehensive regulation of red phosphorus adsorption by strong chemical binding.Benefitting from the above advantages,the resultant red phosphorus host for sodium-ion batteries delivered an outstanding reversible capacity of 856 mAh/g with a capacity fading rate of only 0.025%per cycle during 1000 cycles at 1.0 A/g.This work provides an effective approach based on monomicelle-directed assembly engineering of carbon-based phosphorus hosts for advanced energy conversion and storage systems.

文摘Treating bone defects complicated by bacterial infections remains a significant clinical challenge.Drawing inspiration from the human body's bone repair mechanisms,the use of biomimetic methods to design tissue engineering scaffolds is of great significance for bone repair.This study synthesized copper(Cu)-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles(Cu@MSN)modified with hydroxyethyl methacrylate to obtain methacrylated Cu@MSN(Cu@MSNMA).Furtheremore,bio-mimetic nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by adding Cu@MSNMA to a GelMA/gelatin solution.This hydrogel achieves multi-modal bone tissue biomimicry:(ⅰ)GelMA/gelatin mimics the matrix components in bone ECM,ensuring biocompatibility while promoting cellular behavior(such as adhesion,proliferation,and differentiation);(ⅱ)GelMA/gela-tin and the crosslinking sites introduced by Cu@MSNMA form a stable porous network structure,achieving structural and mechanical biomimicry to provide necessary support for bone defects;(ⅲ)The elemental biomimicry of Si and Cu in Cu@MSNMA achieves efficient osteogenic induction.The effect of different proportions of Cu@MSNMA on the physi-cal properties of the composite hydrogels was investigated to determine the optimal proportion.The results indicated that the mechanical properties of hydrogel were enhanced with the increasing Cu@MSNMA mass ratio.Notably,5%NPs/GelMA/gelatin hydrogel exhibited excellent mechanical property compared to the GelMA/gelatin hydrogel.In vitro and vivo cellular experiments demonstrated a significant enhancement in antibacterial and osteogenic induction with Cu@MSNMA addition.In conclusion,the proposed nanocomposite hydrogel with biomimetic components and ion-regulating properties can serve as a multifunctional scaffold,offering antimicrobial properties for infected bone regeneration,and guide for future research in bone regeneration and three-dimensional printing.

文摘Conversion of ammonia into hydrogen,a crucial pathway for the hydrogen economy,is severely constrained by the intricacy of the required equipment and the low efficiency.Herein,Pd@Pt Ni Co Ru Ir coreshell mesoporous bifunctional electrocatalysts were fabricated via a one-step wet-chemical reduction approach.By utilizing the limiting effect of triblock copolymers,gradient distribution control of six metal elements(Pd core and Pt/Ni/Co/Ru/Ir high-entropy alloys shell) was achieved,where the high-entropy alloy shell forms high-density active sites through lattice distortion effect.With the help of lattice distortion and mesoporous-confinement-enabled interfacial coupling effects,Pd@Pt Ni Co Ru Ir catalyst exhibited exceptional bifunctional performance in alkaline media:A low hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) overpotential of 30.5 m V at 10 m A/cm^(2) and a high ammonia oxidation reaction(AOR) peak current density of 19.6 m A/cm^(2) at 0.7 V vs.RHE,representing a 3.83-fold enhancement over commercial Pt/C.Moreover,a rechargeable Zn-NH_(3) battery system was constructed and achieved 92.3 % Faradaic efficiency(FE) for NH_(3)-to-H_(2) conversion with outstanding stability at 16 m A/cm^(2),thereby providing an innovative solution for efficient ammonia decomposition-based hydrogen production.

文摘According to the Mindlin plate theory and the first-order piston theory,this work obtains accurate closed-form eigensolutions for the flutter problem of three-dimensional(3D)rectangular laminated panels.The governing differential equations are derived by the Hamilton's variational principle,and then solved by the iterative Separation-of-Variable(i SOV)method,which are applicable to arbitrary combinations of homogeneous Boundary Conditions(BCs).However,only the simply-support,clamped and cantilever panels are considered in this work for the sake of clarity.With the closed-form eigensolutions,the flutter frequency,flutter mode and flutter boundary are presented,and the effect of shear deformation and aerodynamic damping on flutter frequencies is investigated.Besides,the relation between panel energy and the work of aerodynamic load is discussed.The numerical comparisons reveal the following.(A)The flutter eigenvalues obtained by the present method are accurate,validated by the Finite Element Method(FEM)and the Galerkin method.(B)When the span-chord ratio is larger than 3,simplifying a 3D panel to 2D(two-dimensional)panel is reasonable and the relative differences of the flutter points predicted by the two models are less than one percent.(C)The reciprocal relationship between the mechanical energy of the panel and the work done by aerodynamic load is verified by using the present flutter eigenvalues and modes,further indicating the high accuracy of the present solutions.(D)The coupling of shear deformation and aerodynamic damping prevents frequency coalescing.

文摘Three-dimensional ordered macro/mesoporous carbon(3DOM/m-C)with high specific surface area was synthesized by colloid crystal template method with chemical activation by KOH and used as the adsorbent for removing malachite green(MG)in aqueous solution.The microstructures of the adsorbents were characterized by FESEM,TEM and BET,and the effects of initial dye concentration,contact time,solution pH,and temperature on adsorption performance were investigated.The results show that the 3DOM/m-C exhibits extremely high adsorption capacity of 3541.1 mg/g within 2 h,which could be attributed to the novel ordered hierarchical structure with mesopores on three-dimensional ordered macroporous carbon walls.And the adsorption behavior conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir adsorption isotherm.3DOM/m-C can be recycled after being desorbed by absolute ethanol,and still maintains a high capacity of 2762.06 mg/g after 5 cycles.

文摘Developing the alternative supported noble metal catalysts with low cost,high catalytic efficiency,and good resistance toward carbon dioxide and water vapor is critically demanded for the oxidative removal of volatile organic compounds(VOCs).In this work,we prepared the mesoporous chromia-supported bimetallic Co and Ni single-atom(Co_(1)Ni_(1)/meso-Cr_(2)O_(3))and bimetallic Co and Ni nanoparticle(Co_(NP)Ni_(NP)/mesoCr_(2)O_(3))catalysts adopting the one-pot polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP)-and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)-protecting approaches,respectively.The results indicate that the Co_(1)Ni_(1)/meso-Cr_(2)O_(3)catalyst exhibited the best catalytic activity for n-hexane(C_(6)H_(14))combustion(T_(50%)and T_(90%)were 239 and 263℃ at a space velocity of 40,000 mL g^(-1)h^(-1);apparent activation energy and specific reaction rate at 260℃ were 54.7 kJ mol^(-1)and 4.3×10^(-7)mol g^(-1)_(cat)s^(-1),respectively),which was associated with its higher(Cr^(5+)+Cr^(6+))amount,large n-hexane adsorption capacity,and good lattice oxygen mobility that could enhance the deep oxidation of n-hexane,in which Ni_(1) was beneficial for the enhancements in surface lattice oxygen mobility and low-temperature reducibility,while Co_(1) preferred to generate higher contents of the high-valence states of chromium and surface oxygen species as well as adsorption and activation of n-hexane.n-Hexane combustion takes place via the Mars van Krevelen(MvK)mechanism,and its reaction pathways are as follows:n-hexane→olefins or 3-hexyl hydroperoxide→3-hexanone,2-hexanone or 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran→2-methyloxirane or 2-ethyl-oxetane→acrylic acid→CO_x→CO_(2)and H_(2)O.

文摘Lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)have drawn significant attention owing to their high theoretical discharge capacity and energy density.However,the dissolution of long-chain polysulfides into the electrolyte during the charge and discharge process(“shuttle effect”)results in fast capacity fading and inferior electrochemical performance.In this study,Mn_(2)O_(3)with an ordered mesoporous structure(OM-Mn_(2)O_(3))was designed as a cathode host for LSBs via KIT-6 hard templating,to effectively inhibit the polysulfide shuttle effect.OM-Mn_(2)O_(3)offers numerous pores to confine sulfur and tightly anchor the dissolved polysulfides through the combined effects of strong polar-polar interactions,polysulfides,and sulfur chain catenation.The OM-Mn_(2)O_(3)/S composite electrode delivered a discharge capacity of 561 mAh g^(-1) after 250 cycles at 0.5 C owing to the excellent performance of OM-Mn_(2)O_(3).Furthermore,it retained a discharge capacity of 628mA h g^(-1) even at a rate of 2 C,which was significantly higher than that of a pristine sulfur electrode(206mA h g^(-1)).These findings provide a prospective strategy for designing cathode materials for high-performance LSBs.

文摘The performance of catalysts used in after-treatment systems is the key factor for the removal of diesel soot,which is an important component of atmosphericfine particle emissions.Herein,three-dimensionally ordered macroporous–mesoporous Ti_(x)Si+(1-x)O_(2)(3DOM-m Ti_(x)Si+(1-x)O_(2))and its supported MnO_(x)catalysts doped with different alkali/alkaline-earth metals(AMnO_(x)/3 DOM-m Ti_(0.7)Si_(0.3)O_(2)(A:Li,Na,K,Ru,Cs,Mg,Ca,Sr,Ba))were prepared by mesoporous template(P123)-assisted colloidal crystal template(CCT)and incipient wetness impregnation methods,respectively.Physicochemical characterizations of the catalysts were performed using scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction,N_(2)adsorption–desorption,H_(2)temperature-programmed reduction,O_(2)temperature-programmed desorption,NO temperature-programmed oxidation,and Raman spectroscopy techniques;then,we evaluated their catalytic performances for the removal of diesel soot particles.The results show that the 3DOM-m Ti_(0.7)Si_(0.3)O_(2)supports exhibited a well-defined 3DOM-m nanostructure,and AMnO_(x)nanoparticles with 10–50 nm were evenly dispersed on the inner walls of the uniform macropores.In addition,the as-prepared catalysts exhibited good catalytic performance for soot combustion.Among the prepared catalysts,CsMnO_(x)/3DOM-m Ti_(0.7)Si_(0.3)O_(2)had the highest catalytic activity for soot combustion,with T10,T50,and T90(the temperatures corresponding to soot conversion rates of 10%,50%,and 90%)values of 285,355,and 393℃,respectively.The high catalytic activity of the CsMnO_(x)/3 DOM-m Ti_(0.7)Si_(0.3)O_(2)catalysts was attributed to their excellent low-temperature reducibility and homogeneous macroporous–mesoporous structure,as well as to the synergistic effects between Cs and Mn species and between CsMnO_(x)and the Ti_(0.7)Si_(0.3)O_(2)support.

文摘Carbon materials are considered as prospective anode candidates for potassium ion batteries(PIBs).However,the low-rate capability is hampered by slow K+diffusion kinetics and obstructed electron transport of carbon-based anodes.In this work,calcium D-gluconate derived mesoporous carbon nanosheets(CGC)were interpenetrated into the architecture of reduced graphene oxides(RGO)to form the composites of two-dimensional(2D)/2D graphene/mesoporous carbon nanosheets(RGO@CGC).CGC as a rigid skeleton can prevent the graphene layers from restacking and maintain the structural stability of the 2D/2D carbon composites of RGO@CGC.The mesopores in CGC can shorten the path of ion diffusion and facilitate the penetration of electrolytes.RGO possesses the high surface-to-volume ratio and superior electron transport capability in the honeycomb-like 2D network consisting of sp^(2)-hybridized carbon atoms.Especially,theπ-πstacking interaction between CGC and RGO enhances stable composite structure formation,expedites interlayer-electron transfer,and establishes three-dimensional(3D)ion transportation pathways.Owing to these unique structure,RGO@CGC exhibits fast and stable potassium storage capability.Furthermore,the effects of binders and electrolytes on the electrochemical performance of RGO@CGC were investigated.Finally,Prussian blue was synthesized as a positive electrode to explore the possibility of RGO@CGC as a full battery application.

文摘Herein,we report the self-sacrificial template strategy to design mesoporous layered CeVWO_(x)/TiO_(2)catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH_(3)(NH_(3)-SCR).As-fabricated CeVWO_(x)/TiO_(2)catalysts with unique mesoporous and layered structure were successfully prepared through the synthesis of Ce,Ti-MOFs by solvothermal method,the impregnation of vanadium and tungsten in Ce,Ti-MOFs and high temperature calcination process.As NH_(3)-SCR catalysts,well-designed CeVWO_(x)/TiO_(2)catalysts exhibit excellent SCR activity with the NO_(x)conversion of over 90%between 210 and 470℃.Meanwhile,CeVWO_(x)/TiO_(2)shows superior tolerance to water vapor and SO_(2).The features of unique mesoporous layered nanostructure,surface acidity,tunable reducibility,active and the strong interaction of active metal oxide and support in CeVWO_(x)/TiO_(2)nanosheets should contribute to the improved SCR performance.In situ diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy(DRIFTS)analysis indicates that both Langmuir-Hinshelwood(L-H)and Eley-Rideal(E-R)mechanisms are present on the surface of CeVWO_(x)/TiO_(2)at low temperature.This work offers a facile strategy to design and fabricate efficient 2D deNO_x catalyst.
文摘To address the problem of multi-missile cooperative interception against maneuvering targets at a prespecified impact time and desired Line-of-Sight(LOS)angles in ThreeDimensional(3D)space,this paper proposes a 3D leader-following cooperative interception guidance law.First,in the LOS direction of the leader,an impact time-controlled guidance law is derived based on the fixed-time stability theory,which enables the leader to complete the interception task at a prespecified impact time.Next,in the LOS direction of the followers,by introducing a time consensus tracking error function,a fixed-time consensus tracking guidance law is investigated to guarantee the consensus tracking convergence of the time-to-go.Then,in the direction normal to the LOS,by combining the designed global integral sliding mode surface and the second-order Sliding Mode Control(SMC)theory,an innovative 3D LOS-angle-constrained interception guidance law is developed,which eliminates the reaching phase in the traditional sliding mode guidance laws and effectively saves energy consumption.Moreover,it effectively suppresses the chattering phenomenon while avoiding the singularity issue,and compensates for unknown interference caused by target maneuvering online,making it convenient for practical engineering applications.Finally,theoretical proof analysis and multiple sets of numerical simulation results verify the effectiveness,superiority,and robustness of the investigated guidance law.

文摘Three-dimensional(3D)urban structures play a critical role in informing climate mitigation strategies aimed at the built environment and facilitating sustainable urban development.Regrettably,there exists a significant gap in detailed and consistent data on 3D building space structures with global coverage due to the challenges inherent in the data collection and model calibration processes.In this study,we constructed a global urban structure(GUS-3D)dataset,including building volume,height,and footprint information,at a 500 m spatial resolution using extensive satellite observation products and numerous reference building samples.Our analysis indicated that the total volume of buildings worldwide in2015 exceeded 1×10^(12)m^(3).Over the 1985 to 2015 period,we observed a slight increase in the magnitude of 3D building volume growth(i.e.,it increased from 166.02 km3 during the 1985–2000 period to 175.08km3 during the 2000–2015 period),while the expansion magnitudes of the two-dimensional(2D)building footprint(22.51×10^(3) vs 13.29×10^(3)km^(2))and urban extent(157×10^(3) vs 133.8×10^(3)km^(2))notably decreased.This trend highlights the significant increase in intensive vertical utilization of urban land.Furthermore,we identified significant heterogeneity in building space provision and inequality across cities worldwide.This inequality is particularly pronounced in many populous Asian cities,which has been overlooked in previous studies on economic inequality.The GUS-3D dataset shows great potential to deepen our understanding of the urban environment and creates new horizons for numerous 3D urban studies.

文摘BACKGROUND Inguinal hernias are common after surgery.Tension-free repair is widely accepted as the main method for managing inguinal hernias.Adequate exposure,coverage,and repair of the myopectineal orifice(MPO)are necessary.However,due to differences in race and sex,people’s body shapes vary.According to European guidelines,the patch should measure 10 cm×15 cm.If any part of the MPO is dissected,injury to the nerves,vascular network,or organs may occur during surgery,thereby leading to inguinal discomfort,pain,and seroma formation after surgery.Therefore,accurate localization and measurement of the boundary of the MPO are crucial for selecting the optimal patch for inguinal hernia repair.AIM To compare the size of the MPO measured on three-dimensional multislice spiral computed tomography(CT)with that measured via laparoscopy and explore the relevant factors influencing the size of the MPO.METHODS Clinical data from 74 patients who underwent laparoscopic tension-free inguinal hernia repair at the General Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Science and Technology between September 2022 and July 2024 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.Transabdominal preperitoneal was performed.Sixty-four males and 10 females,with an average age of 58.30±12.32 years,were included.The clinical data of the patients were collected.The boundary of the MPO was measured on three-dimensional CT images before surgery and then again during transabdominal preperitoneal.All the preoperative and intraoperative data were analyzed via paired t-tests.A t-test was used for comparisons of age,body mass index,and sex between the groups.In the comparative analysis,a P value less than 0.05 indicated a significant difference.RESULTS The boundaries of the MPO on 3-dimensional CT images measured 7.05±0.47 cm and 6.27±0.61 cm,and the area of the MPO was 19.54±3.33 cm^(2).The boundaries of the MPO during surgery were 7.18±0.51 cm and 6.17±0.40 cm.The errors were not statistically significant.However,the intraoperative BD(the width of the MPO,P=0.024,P<0.05)and preoperative AC(the length of the MPO,P=0.045,P<0.05)significantly differed according to sex.The AC and BD measurements before and during surgery were not significantly different according to age,body mass index,hernia side or hernia type(P>0.05).CONCLUSION The application of this technology can aid in determining the most appropriate dissection range and patch size.

文摘Developing high-capacity carbon-based anode materials is crucial for enhancing the performance of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).In this study,we presented a nitrogen-doped lignin mesoporous carbon/nickel/nickel oxide(NHMC/Ni/NiO)nanocomposite for developing high-capacity LIBs anode materials through carbonization and selective etching strategies.The synthesized NMHC/Ni/NiO-0.33 composite exhibited a highly regular microstructure with well-dispersed Ni/NiO particles.The composite had a surface area of 408 m^(2)·g^(−1),a mesopore ratio of 75.0%,and a pyridine–nitrogen ratio of 58.9%.The introduction of nitrogen atoms reduced the disordered structure of lignin mesoporous carbon and enhanced its electrical conductivity,thus improving the lithium storage capabilities of the composite.Following 100 cycles at a current density of 0.2 A·g^(−1),the composite demonstrated enhanced Coulomb efficiency and rate performance,achieving a specific discharge capacity of 1230.9 mAh·g^(−1).At a high-current density of 1 A·g^(−1),the composite exhibited an excellent specific discharge capacity of 714.6 mAh·g^(−1).This study presents an innovative method for synthesizing high-performance anode materials of LIBs.

文摘Obesity has become a global threat to health;however,the available drugs for treating obesity are limited.We investigated the anti-obesity effect of hydroxy-α-sanshool(HAS),an amide derived from the fruit of Zanthoxylum bungeanum,which promotes the management of obesity by triggering the browning of white adipose tissue(WAT)targeting the membrane receptor of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1(TRPV1).However,HAS easily undergoes configuration transformation and oxidative degradation.The short peptide CKGGRAKDC or adipose-targeting sequence(ATS)binds specifically to prohibitin on the surface of WAT cells and can be used as recognition assembly to enhance adipocyte targetability.Furthermore,mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNs)are widely used in drug delivery systems because of their large specific surface area and pore volume.Therefore,HAS-loaded adipose-targeted MSNs(MSNs-ATS)were developed to enhance the adipocyte targetability,safety,and efficacy of HAS,and tested on mature 3T3-L1 cells and obese mouse models.MSNs-ATS showed higher specificity for adipocyte targetability without obvious toxicity.HAS-loaded MSNs-ATS showed anti-obesity effects superior to those of HAS alone.In conclusion,we successfully developed adipocyte-targeted,HAS-loaded MSNs with good safety and anti-obesity effects.
文摘Organic ultraviolet(UV)filters play a crucial role in reducing sunburn,photoaging,and the risk of skin cancer induced by UV radiation.However,the challenges posed by photodegradation,potential phototoxicity,and poor dispersion characteristics of organic UV filters significantly hinder their practical applications.This study aims to encapsulate avobenzone,a widely used UV filter,in mesoporous silica(MPS)to form AB@MPS particles via an in-situ sol-gel process,and to research their sunscreen performance as stabilizers in Pickering emulsion.The UV absorption capability of AB@MPS particles is stronger than free avobenzone.The in vitro skin penetration study reveals a greatly reduced permeability(73.9%)for avobenzone from AB@MPS compared to its free form.Furthermore,the photostability of AB@MPS particles increases 14.3 times compared to that of free avobenzone.In UV protection tests,the Pickering emulsion’s anti-UVA efficacy is 2.28 times greater than that of 20%PG solution,4.41 times greater than Carbomer hydrogel,and 3.59 times greater than the cream formulation.The SPF value of the Pickering emulsion is 2.41 times greater than the 20%PG solution,2 times greater than the Carbomer hydrogel,and 6.77 times greater than the cream formulation.This study presents a promising strategy for the application of Pickering emulsions in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors,providing a safe and efficient formulation for sunscreens.
