The first is that the specificity of oxenogenic antibodies is often poor. Secondly, human origin monoclonal antibodies would be more useful for dissecting human allogenic immune responses, i. e. responses to histocompatibility and blood group antigens. Thirdly, they are of interest in capturing human immune responses such as antibodies produced in lymph nodes draining a tumor or autoimmune responses, and producing of human antibodies for possible therapeutic applications.展开更多

文摘Objective:The preventive and therapeutic effects of direct moxibustion on a gastric cancer rat model induced by the intragastric administration of N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG)were evaluated.Changes in the co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86 on antigen-presenting cells in gastric tissues as well as related cytokines in serum were evaluated.The aim of the study was to explore the immunological mechanisms by which direct moxibustion may prevent gastric cancer lesions,thereby providing a basis for studies on the immunological mechanisms by which moxibustion prevents tumor development.Methods:Sixty healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups:Control,control+moxibustion,model,and moxibustion groups.A gastric cancer rat model was induced by intragastric administration of 20 mg/mL MNNG,with a dose of 1 mL/100 g body weight,once daily for 16 weeks.The control+moxibustion and moxibustion groups received direct moxibustion simultaneously with modeling,continuing for 16 weeks.After the experiment,gastric tissue was collected,and morphological changes in the gastric mucosa in each group of rats were observed through H&E staining.Immunohistochemistry(IHC)and a western blotting were used to detect the expression levels of CD80 and CD86 in gastric tissues.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays(ELISA)were used to measure the levels of interleukin-12(IL-12),interferon-gamma(IFN-γ),and tumor necrosis factor-beta(TNF-β)in rat serum.Results:Upon macroscopic observation,the gastric mucosa of rats in the control and control+moxibustion groups appeared uniformly red,with a glossy mucosal surface,normal gastric wall elasticity,and clear,regular mucosal folds,without hyperplasia or bleeding points.In the model group,the gastric mucosa was reduced in volume,the gastric wall thinned,elasticity decreased,mucosal folds were disordered,and yellow-white cauliflower-like lesions and yellow-brown hyperkeratosis were observed.In the moxibustion group,the gastric mucosa showed decreased elasticity,with disordered mucosal folds and granular hyperplasia.After H&E staining,the gastric mucosal structure was clear and intact in the control and control+moxibustion groups displaying an organized and uniform arrangement of the mucosa,submucosa,and muscularis propria,without hyperplasia or keratinization.In the model group,the epithelial glands in the gastric mucosa were disordered,with varied cell morphologies,thickened submucosa,and disrupted squamous epithelium that invaded downward into the muscularis propria.In the moxibustion group,the squamous epithelium did not invade the muscularis propria.IHC results showed higher expression levels of CD80 and CD86 in the gastric mucosa of the control+moxibustion group than in the control group(P<0.05)and lower expression levels in the model group than in the control group(P<0.05).The moxibustion group showed higher CD80 and CD86 levels than those in the model group(P<0.05).Western blotting indicated that CD80 and CD86 levels were higher in the moxibustion group than in the model group(P<0.05).ELISA results showed higher IL-12 levels in the model group than in the control group(P<0.05)and higher TNF-βand IFN-γlevels in the moxibustion group than in the model group(P<0.01).Conclusion:Direct moxibustion alleviates the pathological progression of gastric cancer in an MNNGinduced rat model.Its mechanisms may involve effects on the state of antigen-presenting cells,thereby promoting T cell activation and enhancing immune function.

文摘Conjugated microporous polymers(CMPs)have attracted considerable attention as potential organic anode materials for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)due to their flexible chemical structure,high porosity,environmental friendliness,and cost effectiveness.However,the inherent shortcomings of organic electrodes,such as low conductivity,high solubility in electrolyte,narrow material utilization,etc.,limit their further development.In this work,we successfully prepared a novel porous polyimide PPD containing multicarbonyl active centers via the polycondensation of pyromellitic dianhydride(PMDA)and2,6-diaminoanthraquinone(DAAQ).The stable conjugated structure and multiple redox centers give the polymer high reversible specific capacity(244.6 m Ah/g after 100 cycles at 100 m A/g),ultra-long cycle stability(100.7 m Ah/g after 2000 cycles at 1.0 A/g),and predominant rate capability.Meanwhile,the sodium storage mechanism of the electrode materials during the charging and discharging process is investigated by ex-situ XPS/FTIR analysis.Due to the exceptional electrochemical properties and simple synthesis method,this work may shed light on the preparation of polyimide-based anodes for high specific capacity and rate capability secondary batteries.
文摘Ⅰ. INTRODUCTION There are essentially three reasons why human monoclonal antibodies are attractive to the investigator. The first is that the specificity of oxenogenic antibodies is often poor. Secondly, human origin monoclonal antibodies would be more useful for dissecting human allogenic immune responses, i. e. responses to histocompatibility and blood group antigens. Thirdly, they are of interest in capturing human immune responses such as antibodies produced in lymph nodes draining a tumor or autoimmune responses, and producing of human antibodies for possible therapeutic applications.

文摘Sesame Fusarium wilt(SFW),caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.sesami(Fos),is one of the most devastating diseases affecting sesame cultivation.Deciphering the genetic control of SFW resistance is pivotal for effective disease management in sesame.An inheritance study on a cross between the highly resistant variety Yuzhi 11 and the highly susceptible accession Sp1 using a Fos pathogenicity group 1 isolate indicated that resistance was conferred by a single dominant allele.The target locus was located in a 1.24 Mb interval on chromosome 3 using a combination of cross-population association mapping and bulked segregant analysis.Fine genetic mapping further narrowed the interval between 21,350 and 21,401 kb.The locus Sindi_0812400 was identified as the SFW resistance gene and officially designated SiRLK1.This gene encodes a specific malectin/receptor-like protein kinase with three putative tandem kinase domains and is considered a kinase fusion protein.Sequence analysis revealed that a high proportion(49.44%)of variants within the locus was located within the kinase domainⅢ,and several of which were evidently associated with the diversity in SFW response,indicating the critical role of kinase domainⅢin expression of disease resistance.These findings provide valuable information for further functional analysis of SFW resistance genes and marker-assisted resistance breeding in sesame.

文摘Sesame is a labor intensive crop with limited mechanized harvesting mainly due to the seed shattering(SS)trait.In this study,we performed a genetic analysis of the seed-shattering resistance(SR)trait with a SR sesame mutant 12M07.Unlike the SS type,the parenchyma cells in the abscission zone of the 12M07 mutant are arranged loosely but adhere to the seed coat.Inheritance analysis of six generations derived from 12M07(SR)×Xiangcheng Dazibai(SS)showed that the SR trait is recessive and controlled by a single gene pair.Association mapping of the F2population with 888,619 variants(single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)and insertion-deletion(InDels))and 31,884 structural variations(SVs)determined that only SV12002 in the 5′upstream region of gene Sindi0765000(named SiHEC3)in Chr.3 was significantly associated with the SR trait.SiHEC3 encodes the bHLH transcription factor.A 1,049 bp deletion occurred in the 5′UTR of Sihec3 in 12M07.SiHEC3 is mainly expressed in developing placental tissues,with the expression peaking in capsules at 45 days after pollination.A dual-luciferase reporter assay in tobacco confirmed that the promoter activity of Sihec3 was reduced because of the deletion of the 1,049 bp promoter sequence.Protein–protein interaction network analysis showed that HEC3 is co-expressed with nine key proteins,such as SHATTERPROOF1(SHP1)and SEEDSTICK(STK)which participate in the secondary wall biosynthesis of the abscission layer in plants.The findings of this study show the important function of Sihec3corresponding with the SR trait and supply the genetic information for breeding new varieties that are amenable to mechanized harvesting in sesame and other crops.

文摘The engineering of the electronic configurations of active sites,together with the production of more accessible active sites through heterostructure design,has been established as a forceful methodology for boosting water electrolysis performance.Herein,a facile approach is developed to fabricate well-dispersed MoO_(2) and WO_(2) nanoparticles with abundant heterointerfaces entrapped in N,P-doped carbon nanofibers(referred to as MoO_(2)/WO_(2)@N,P-CNFs hereafter)as hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)electrocatalysts in alkaline and acidic electrolytes.Extensive spectroscopic analyses and theoretical findings manifest that the heterointerface formed by the work function modulation of MoO_(2)/WO_(2) triggers the spontaneous electron redistribution from MoO_(2)to WO_(2) and a built-in electric field,which is essential to promote water adsorption,optimize the H-intermediate adsorption energy,result in the enhanced charge transfer efficiency,and ultimately increase the intrinsic HER activity.Simultaneously,the intimate confinement of MoO_(2)/WO_(2) heterostructures in the porous carbon substrate can restrain the active sites from unfavorable coarsening and detachment,thus ensuring facilitated HER kinetics and outstanding structural robustness.As a result,MoO_(2)/WO_(2)@N,P-CNFs exhibit superior catalytic HER performance in acidic and basic solutions,requiring 118 and 95 mV overpotentials to achieve 10 mA·cm^(−2),respectively,surpassing a number of reported non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts.This work provides guidelines for the rational design and construction of special metallic heterocomponents with optimized interfacial electronic structure for various electrochemical technologies.

文摘Metal oxide charge transport materials are preferable for realizing long-term stable and potentially low-cost perovskite solar cells(PSCs).However,due to some technical difficulties(e.g.,intricate fabrication protocols,high-temperature heating process,incompatible solvents,etc.),it is still challenging to achieve efficient and reliable all-metal-oxide-based devices.Here,we developed efficient inverted PSCs(IPSCs)based on solution-processed nickel oxide(NiO_(x))and tin oxide(SnO_(2))nanoparticles,working as hole and electron transport materials respectively,enabling a fast and balanced charge transfer for photogenerated charge carriers.Through further understanding and optimizing the perovskite/metal oxide interfaces,we have realized an outstanding power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 23.5%(the bandgap of the perovskite is 1.62 eV),which is the highest efficiency among IPSCs based on all-metal-oxide charge transport materials.Thanks to these stable metal oxides and improved interface properties,ambient stability(retaining 95%of initial PCE after 1 month),thermal stability(retaining 80%of initial PCE after 2 weeks)and light stability(retaining 90%of initial PCE after 1000 hours aging)of resultant devices are enhanced significantly.In addition,owing to the low-temperature fabrication procedures of the entire device,we have obtained a PCE of over 21%for flexible IPSCs with enhanced operational stability.

文摘Owing to the unique structure,anode-free lithium metal batteries(AFLMBs)have higher energy density and lower production cost than traditional lithium metal batteries(LMBs)or lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),However,AFLMBs suffer from an inherently finite Li reservoir and exhibit poor cycle stability,low Coulombic efficiency(CE)and severe dendrite growth.In this work,polydiallyl lithium disulfide(PDS-Li)was successfully synthesized and coated on Cu current collector by electrochemical polymerization.The PDS-Li acts as an additional lithium resource to compensate for the irreversible loss of lithium during cycling.In addition,the special structure and lithiophilicity of PDS-Li contribute to lower nucleation overpotential and uniform lithium deposition.When coupled with Li-rich manganese-based(LRM)cathode of Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2,the anode-free full cell exhibits significantly improved cycle stability over 100 cycles and capacity retention of 63.3%and 57%after 80 and 100 cycles,respectively.We believe that PDS-Li can be used to ensure stable cycling performance and high-energy-density in AFLMBs.

文摘Background Pediatric cancer survivors are at increased risk of muscle weakness and low areal bone mineral density(aBMD).However,the prevalence of muscle strength deficits is not well documented,and the associations of muscle strength with aBMD are unknown in this population.Therefore,this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of upper-and lower-body muscle strength deficits and to examine the associations of upper-and lower-body muscle strength with age-,sex,and race-specific aBMD Z-scores at the total body,total hip,femoral neck,and lumbar spine.Methods This cross-sectional study included 116 pediatric cancer survivors(12.1±3.3 years old,mean±SD;42.2%female).Upper-and lower-body muscle strength were assessed by handgrip and standing long jump test,respectively.Dual‑energy X‑ray absorptiometry was used to measure aBMD(g/cm2).Associations between muscle strength and aBMD were evaluated in multivariable linear regression models.Logistic regression was used to evaluate the contribution of muscle strength(1-decile lower)to the odds of having low aBMD(Z-score≤1.0).All analyses were adjusted for time from treatment completion,radiotherapy exposure,and body mass index.Results More than one-half of survivors were within the 2 lowest deciles for upper-(56.9%)and lower-body muscle strength(60.0%)in comparison to age-and sex-specific reference values.Muscle strength deficits were associated with lower aBMD Z-scores at all sites(B=0.133–0.258,p=0.001–0.032).Each 1-decile lower in upper-body muscle strength was associated with 30%–95%higher odds of having low aBMD Z-scores at all sites.Each 1-decile lower in lower-body muscle strength was associated with 35%–70%higher odds of having low aBMD Z-scores at total body,total hip,and femoral neck.Conclusion Muscle strength deficits are prevalent in young pediatric cancer survivors,and such deficits are associated with lower aBMD Z-scores at all sites.These results suggest that interventions designed to improve muscle strength in this vulnerable population may have the added benefit of improving aBMD.

文摘The global trend towards new energy storage systems has stimulated the development of electrochemical energy storage technologies.Among these technologies,rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)have attracted considerable interest as a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)due to their affordable cost,environmental compatibility and high safety standards.In this study,a high-quality electrode for AZIBs has been successfully developed using a dehydrated mixed-valence polyoxometalate-based three-dimensional(3D)inorganic framework material known as[H_6Mn_(3)V^Ⅳ_(15)V-^Ⅴ_(4O)_(46)(H_2O)_(12)](3D-MnVO).This innovative 3D-MnVO material is built from the alternate connections of{V_(19)O_(46)}"sphere-shaped"clusters andμ_(2)-{Mn(H_(2)O)_(4)}bridges,where each{V_(19)O_(46)}cluster is surrounded by three pairs of vertically distributed{Mn(H_(2)O)_(4)}units,thus resulting in the 3D interpenetrating grid-like network from the infinite[-{V_(19)O_(46)}-μ_(2)-Mn(H_(2)O)_(4)-{V_(19)O_(46)}]_∞chains in three mutually perpendicular directions.The 3D framework structure of 3D-MnVO possesses abundant oxygen vacancies,spacious and multi-level interconnected channels for ion transport,which facilitates the efficient intercalation/deintercalation of hydrated Zn^(2+)into the pores of the primary structure via the intercalation capacitance mechanism.As a result,the 3D-MnVO electrode exhibits excellent diffusion rates and minimal interfacial resistance.At a current density of 0.1 A·g^(-1),the 3D-MnVO cathode delivers a commendable discharge capacity of170.5 mAh·g^(-1)with 81.6%capacity retention after100 charge/discharge cycles.Furthermore,even at a high current density of 1.0 A·g^(-1),the 3D-MnVO electrode delivers a remarkable reversible capacity of198.9 mAh·g^(-1).Our research results provide valuable insights into the development of advanced polyoxometalate-based 3D inorganic framework electrode materials for high-performance rechargeable AZIBs.

文摘Soil microorganisms play critical roles in ecosystem function.However,the relative impact of the potassium(K)fertilizer gradient on the microbial community in wheat-maize double-cropping systems remains unclear.In this long-term field experiment(2008-2019),we researched bacterial and fungal diversity,composition,and community assemblage in the soil along a K fertilizer gradient in the wheat season(K0,no K fertilizer;K1,45 kg ha^(-1) K_(2)O;K_(2),90 kg ha^(-1)K_(2)O;K3,135 kg ha^(-1)K_(2)O)and in the maize season(K0,no K fertilizer;K_(1),150 kg ha^(-1) K_(2)O;K_(2),300 kg ha^(-1)K_(2)O;K_(3),450 kg ha^(-1)K_(2)O)using bacterial 16S rRNA and fungal internally transcribed spacer(ITS)data.We observed that environmental variables,such as mean annual soil temperature(MAT)and precipitation,available K,ammonium,nitrate,and organic matter,impacted the soil bacterial and fungal communities,and their impacts varied with fertilizer treatments and crop species.Furthermore,the relative abundance of bacteria involved in soil nutrient transformation(phylum Actinobacteria and class Alphaproteobacteria)in the wheat season was significantly increased compared to the maize season,and the optimal K fertilizer dosage(K2 treatment)boosted the relative bacterial abundance of soil nutrient transformation(genus Lactobacillus)and soil denitrification(phylum Proteobacteria)bacteria in the wheat season.The abundance of the soil bacterial community promoting root growth and nutrient absorption(genus Herbaspirillum)in the maize season was improved compared to the wheat season,and the K2 treatment enhanced the bacterial abundance of soil nutrient transformation(genus MND1)and soil nitrogen cycling(genus Nitrospira)genera in the maize season.The results indicated that the bacterial and fungal communities in the double-cropping system exhibited variable sensitivities and assembly mechanisms along a K fertilizer gradient,and microhabitats explained the largest amount of the variation in crop yields,and improved wheat?maize yields by 11.2-22.6 and 9.2-23.8%with K addition,respectively.These modes are shaped contemporaneously by the different meteorological factors and soil nutrient changes in the K fertilizer gradients.

文摘Black phosphorus with a superior theoretical capacity(2596 mAh g^(-1))and high conductivity is regarded as one of the powerful candidates for lithium-ion battery(LIB)anode materials,whereas the severe volume expansion and sluggish kinetics still impede its applications in LIBs.By contrast,the exfoliated two-dimensional phosphorene owns negligible volume variation,and its intrinsic piezoelectricity is considered to be beneficial to the Li-ion transfer kinetics,while its positive influence has not been discussed yet.Herein,a phosphorene/MXene heterostructure-textured nanopiezocomposite is proposed with even phosphorene distribution and enhanced piezo-electrochemical coupling as an applicable free-standing asymmetric membrane electrode beyond the skin effect for enhanced Li-ion storage.The experimental and simulation analysis reveals that the embedded phosphorene nanosheets not only provide abundant active sites for Li-ions,but also endow the nanocomposite with favorable piezoelectricity,thus promoting the Li-ion transfer kinetics by generating the piezoelectric field serving as an extra accelerator.By waltzing with the MXene framework,the optimized electrode exhibits enhanced kinetics and stability,achieving stable cycling performances for 1,000 cycles at 2 A g^(-1),and delivering a high reversible capacity of 524 m Ah g^(-1)at-20℃,indicating the positive influence of the structural merits of self-assembled nanopiezocomposites on promoting stability and kinetics.
