HepG2 cells were stained with TMRE, and change in the membrane potential of mitochondria in the cells were observed using LCSM. HepG2 cells were double stained with Fluo-3/AM, and change of [Ca^2＋]i in the cells were observed using LCSM. HepG2 cells were double stained with TMRE and Fluo-3/AM, and both the change in membrane potential of mitochondria and that of [Ca^2＋]i in the cells were observed using LCSM.RESULTS： Cells in treated groups showed typical signs of apoptosis. Staining with TMRE showed that solanine could lower membrane potential; staining with Fluo-3/AM showed that solanine could increase the concentration of Ca^2＋ in tumor cells; and those of double staining with TMRE and Fluo-3/AM showed that solanine could increase the concentration of Ca^2＋ in the cells at the same time as it lowered the membrane potential of mitochondria.CONCLUSION： Solanine opens up the PT channels in the membrane by lowering the membrane potential, leading to Ca^2＋ being transported down its concentration gradient, which in turn leads to the rise of the concentration of Ca^2＋ in the cell, turning on the mechanism for apoptosis.展开更多

Piglets in a sow-reared control group were suckling normally between ages 21 and 28 days, while those in weaned groups were fed a basal diet, supplemented with either 300 mg/kg of resveratrol or with 300 mg/kg of pterostilbene. Parameters associated with intestinal injury and redox status were analyzed at the end of the feeding trial.Results: Early weaning disrupted the intestinal function of young piglets, with evidence of increased diamine oxidase activity and D-lactate content in the plasma, shorter villi, an imbalance between cell proliferation and apoptosis, an impaired antioxidant defense system, and severe oxidative damage in the jejunum relative to suckling piglets. Feeding piglets with a resveratrol-supplemented diet partially increased villus height(P = 0.056) and tended to diminish apoptotic cell numbers(P = 0.084) in the jejunum compared with those fed a basal diet. Similarly, these beneficial effects were observed in the pterostilbene-fed piglets. Pterostilbene improved the feed efficiency of weanling piglets between the ages of 21 and 28 days;it also resulted in diminished plasma diamine oxidase activity and D-lactate content relative to untreated weaned piglets(P < 0.05). Notably, pterostilbene restored jejunal antioxidant capacity, an effect that was nearly absent in the resveratrol-fed piglets. Pterostilbene reduced the malondialdehyde and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine contents of jejunal mucosa possibly through its regulatory role in facilitating the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 and the expression levels of NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 and superoxide dismutase 2(P < 0.05).Conclusions: The results indicate that pterostilbene may be more effective than its parent compound in alleviating early weaning-induced intestinal damage and redox imbalance among young piglets.展开更多

文摘Freeze-drying of structurally heterogeneous biomaterials such as porcine aorta presents considerable modeling challenges due to their inherent multilayer composition and moving sublimation interfaces.Conventional models often overlook structural anisotropy and dynamic boundary progression,while experimental determination of key parameters under cryogenic conditions remains difficult.To address these,this study develops a heat and mass transfer model incorporating a dynamic node strategy for the sublimation interface,which effectively handles continuous computational domain deformation.Additionally,specialized fixed nodes were incorporated to adapt to the multilayer structure and its spatially varying thermophysical properties.A novel non-contact gravimetric system was introduced to monitor mass loss in real time without disrupting vacuum,enabling accurate experimental validation.Combined with dehydration data,the model quantified critical parameters including effective thermal conductivity of the dried layer,vapor diffusivity,and sublimation mass transfer resistance.The results show that the migration of the sublimation fronts from both the inner and outer tunics toward the tunica media significantly alters the drying kinetics and heat-mass transfer characteristics.The proposed approach provides an adaptable and predictive framework for simulating freeze-drying processes in structurally heterogeneous systems with spatially varying thermophysical properties.

文摘To improve the traffic scheduling capability in operator data center networks,an analysis prediction and online scheduling mechanism(APOS)is designed,considering both the network structure and the network traffic in the operator data center.Fibonacci tree optimization algorithm(FTO)is embedded into the analysis prediction and the online scheduling stages,the FTO traffic scheduling strategy is proposed.By taking the global optimal and the multi-modal optimization advantage of FTO,the traffic scheduling optimal solution and many suboptimal solutions can be obtained.The experiment results show that the FTO traffic scheduling strategy can schedule traffic in data center networks reasonably,and improve the load balancing in the operator data center network effectively.

文摘Full waveform inversion is a precise method for parameter inversion,harnessing the complete wavefield information of seismic waves.It holds the potential to intricately characterize the detailed features of the model with high accuracy.However,due to inaccurate initial models,the absence of low-frequency data,and incomplete observational data,full waveform inversion(FWI)exhibits pronounced nonlinear characteristics.When the strata are buried deep,the inversion capability of this method is constrained.To enhance the accuracy and precision of FWI,this paper introduces a novel approach to address the aforementioned challenges—namely,a fractional-order anisotropic total p-variation regularization for full waveform inversion(FATpV-FWI).This method incorporates fractional-order total variation(TV)regularization to construct the inversion objective function,building upon TV regularization,and subsequently employs the alternating direction multiplier method for solving.This approach mitigates the step effect stemming from total variation in seismic inversion,thereby facilitating the reconstruction of sharp interfaces of geophysical parameters while smoothing background variations.Simultaneously,replacing integer-order differences with fractional-order differences bolsters the correlation among seismic data and diminishes the scattering effect caused by integer-order differences in seismic inversion.The outcomes of model tests validate the efficacy of this method,highlighting its ability to enhance the overall accuracy of the inversion process.

文摘Recent advancements in two-dimensional van der Waals moir´e materials have unveiled the captivating landscape of moir´e physics.In twisted bilayer graphene(TBG)at‘magic angles’,strong electronic correlations give rise to a diverse array of exotic physical phenomena,including correlated insulating states,superconductivity,magnetism,topological phases,and the quantum anomalous Hall(QAH)effect.Notably,the QAH effect demonstrates substantial promise for applications in electronic and quantum computing devices with low power consumption.This article focuses on the latest developments surrounding the QAH effect in magic-angle TBG.It provides a comprehensive analysis of magnetism and topology—two crucial factors in engineering the QAH effect within magic-angle TBG.Additionally,it offers a detailed overview of the experimental realization of the QAH effect in moir´e superlattices.Furthermore,this review highlights the underlying mechanisms driving these exotic phases in moir´e materials,contributing to a deeper understanding of strongly interacting quantum systems and facilitating the manipulation of new material properties to achieve novel quantum states.
文摘BACKGROUND Esophageal cancer(EC)is one of the most common malignancies worldwide,and lymph node(LN)metastasis remains one of the leading causes of EC recurrence.Metabolic disorders critically affect cancer progression,and lipid levels are closely associated with the occurrence of EC and several other tumor types.This study analyzed pretreatment lipid levels to determine their association with LN metastasis.AIM To dissect the possible mechanisms underlying LN metastasis and clarify the prognostic role of lipid profiles in EC.METHODS Serum lipid levels and clinicopathological information were retrospectively collected from 294 patients,and risk factors for LN metastasis were confirmed using a logistic regression model.Latent factors were explored using information from publicly accessible databases and immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical staining techniques.RESULTS High serum levels of low-density lipoprotein(LDL)cholesterol promote LN metastasis in EC,while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol has the opposite role.Information of a public database revealed that LDL receptors LRP5 and LRP6 are highly expressed in ECs,and LRP6 overexpression positively correlated with the infiltration of B lymphocytes and a poor prognosis.Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical staining revealed that the expression of LRP6 and infiltrated B lymphocytes in patients with≥1 regional LN metastasis,containing N1-3(N+group)were significantly higher than those in the N0 group.LRP6 was also highly expressed in the B lymphocytes of the N+group.There was no difference in CXCL13 expression between the N+and N0 groups.However,CXCR5 expression was significantly higher in the N0 group than in the N+group.CONCLUSION High serum LDL levels can promote LN metastasis in EC,and the mechanisms may be related to LRP6 expression and the infiltration of B lymphocytes.

文摘AIM： To observe the effect of solanine on the membrane potential of mitochondria in HepG2 cells and [Ca^2＋]i in the cells, and to uncover the mechanism by which solanine induces apoptosis.METHODS： HepG2 cells were double stained with AO/EB, and morphological changes of the cells were observed using laser confocal scanning microscopy （LCSM）. HepG2 cells were stained with TMRE, and change in the membrane potential of mitochondria in the cells were observed using LCSM. HepG2 cells were double stained with Fluo-3/AM, and change of [Ca^2＋]i in the cells were observed using LCSM. HepG2 cells were double stained with TMRE and Fluo-3/AM, and both the change in membrane potential of mitochondria and that of [Ca^2＋]i in the cells were observed using LCSM.RESULTS： Cells in treated groups showed typical signs of apoptosis. Staining with TMRE showed that solanine could lower membrane potential; staining with Fluo-3/AM showed that solanine could increase the concentration of Ca^2＋ in tumor cells; and those of double staining with TMRE and Fluo-3/AM showed that solanine could increase the concentration of Ca^2＋ in the cells at the same time as it lowered the membrane potential of mitochondria.CONCLUSION： Solanine opens up the PT channels in the membrane by lowering the membrane potential, leading to Ca^2＋ being transported down its concentration gradient, which in turn leads to the rise of the concentration of Ca^2＋ in the cell, turning on the mechanism for apoptosis.

文摘The physical and mechanical change processes of coal and rock are closely related to energy transformation,and the destruction and failure of coal and rock is an instability phenomena driven by energy change.However,the energy change of large-scale coal rock in the mine site is hardly calculated accurately,making it difficult to monitor coal-rock systematic failure and collapse from the perspective of energy.By the energy dissipation EMR monitoring system,we studied the damage and failure of coal and rock with bursting liability from the energy dissipation point using the geophysical method-EMR,and explored the energy dissipation characteristics during uniaxial compression and their main influencing factors.The results show that under displacement-control loading mode,there are 2 types of energy dissipation trends for both coal and rock with bursting liability.The type Ⅰ trend is a steady increase one during the whole process,therein,the energy dissipation of rock samples is accelerated at the peak load.The type Ⅱ trend energy is a W-shaped fluctuating one containing 6 stages.Under load-control loading mode,there is one energy dissipation trend of shock downward-steady rise.Besides that,rock samples also present a trend of 4 stages.The energy dissipation characteristics of coal and rockduring loading failure process can be used as effective criteria to assess whether they are in a stable or destructive stage.The factors influencing energy dissipation in the loading failure process of coal and rock mainly include strength,homogeneity,and energy input efficiency.

文摘Background: Evidence indicates that early weaning predisposes piglets to intestinal oxidative stress and increases the risk of intestinal dysfunction;however, there are minimal satisfactory treatment strategies for these conditions.This study investigated the potential of resveratrol and its analog, pterostilbene, as antioxidant protectants for regulating intestinal morphology, barrier function, and redox status among weanling piglets.Methods: A total of 144 piglets were selected at 21 days of age and randomly allocated into one of four treatment groups, each of which included six replicates. Piglets in a sow-reared control group were suckling normally between ages 21 and 28 days, while those in weaned groups were fed a basal diet, supplemented with either 300 mg/kg of resveratrol or with 300 mg/kg of pterostilbene. Parameters associated with intestinal injury and redox status were analyzed at the end of the feeding trial.Results: Early weaning disrupted the intestinal function of young piglets, with evidence of increased diamine oxidase activity and D-lactate content in the plasma, shorter villi, an imbalance between cell proliferation and apoptosis, an impaired antioxidant defense system, and severe oxidative damage in the jejunum relative to suckling piglets. Feeding piglets with a resveratrol-supplemented diet partially increased villus height(P = 0.056) and tended to diminish apoptotic cell numbers(P = 0.084) in the jejunum compared with those fed a basal diet. Similarly, these beneficial effects were observed in the pterostilbene-fed piglets. Pterostilbene improved the feed efficiency of weanling piglets between the ages of 21 and 28 days;it also resulted in diminished plasma diamine oxidase activity and D-lactate content relative to untreated weaned piglets(P < 0.05). Notably, pterostilbene restored jejunal antioxidant capacity, an effect that was nearly absent in the resveratrol-fed piglets. Pterostilbene reduced the malondialdehyde and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine contents of jejunal mucosa possibly through its regulatory role in facilitating the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 and the expression levels of NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 and superoxide dismutase 2(P < 0.05).Conclusions: The results indicate that pterostilbene may be more effective than its parent compound in alleviating early weaning-induced intestinal damage and redox imbalance among young piglets.

文摘Torsional impact drilling is a new technology which has the advantages of high rock-breaking efficiency and a high rate of penetration(ROP).So far,there is no in-depth understanding of the rock-breaking mechanism for the ROP increase from torsional impact tools.Therefore,it has practical engineering significance to study the rock-breaking mechanism of torsional impact.In this paper,discrete element method(DEM)software(PFC2 D)is used to compare granite breaking under the steady and torsional impacting conditions.Meanwhile,the energy consumption to break rock,microscopic crushing process and chip characteristics as well as the relationship among these three factors for granite under different impacting frequencies and amplitudes are discussed.It is found that the average cutting force is smaller in the case of torsional impact cutting(TIC)than that in the case of steady loading.The mechanical specific energy(MSE)and the ratio of brittle energy consumption to total energy are negatively correlated;rock-breaking efficiency is related to the mode of action between the cutting tooth and rock.Furthermore,the ROP increase mechanism of torsional impact drilling technology is that the ratio of brittle energy consumption under the TIC condition is larger than that under a steady load;the degree of repeated fragmentation of rock chips under the TIC condition is lower than that under the steady load,and the TIC load promotes the formation of a transverse cracking network near the free surface and inhibits the formation of a deep longitudinal cracking network.
