Effect of icarisid II on diabetic rats with erectile dysfunction and its potential mechanism via assessment of AGEs, autophagy, roTOR and the NO-cGMP pathway

Erectile dysfunction （ED） is a major complication of diabetes mellitus. Icariin has been shown to enhance erectile function through its bioactive form, icarisid Ih This study investigates the effects of icarisid Ⅱ on diabetic rats with ED and its potential mechanism viathe assessment of advanced glycosylation end products （AGEs）, autophagy, mTOR and the NO-cGMP pathway. Icarisid Ⅱ was extracted from icariin by an enzymatic method. In the control and diabetic ED groups, rats were administered normal saline; in the icarisid Ⅱ group, rats were administered icarisid Ⅱ intragastrically. Erectile function was evaluated by measuring intracavernosal pressure/mean arterial pressure （ICP/MAP）. AGE concentrations, nitric oxide synthase （NOS） activity and cGMP concentration were assessed by enzyme immunoassay. Cell proliferation was analysed using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay and flow cytometry. Autophagosomes were observed by transmission electron microscopy, monodansylcadaverine staining and GFP-LC3 Iocalisation. The expression of NOS isoforms and key proteins in autophagy were examined by western blot. Our results have shown that Icarisid Ⅱ increased ICP/MAP values, the smooth muscle cell （SMC） growth curve, S phase and SMC/collagen fibril （SMC/CF） proportions and decreased Beclin 1 （P〈0.05）. Icarisid Ⅱ significantly increased the proliferative index and p-p70S6K（Thr389） levels and decreased the numbers of autophagosomes and the levels of LC3-11 （P〈0.01）. Icarisid Ⅱ decreased AGE concentrations and increased cGMP concentration, NOS activity （P〈0.05） and cNOS levels （P〈0.01） in the diabetic ED group. Therefore, Icarisid Ⅱ constitutes a promising compound for diabetic ED and might be involved in the upregulation of SMC proliferation and the NO-cGMP pathway and the downregulation of AGEs, autophagy and the mTOR pathway.

Strengthening mechanisms based on reinforcement distribution uniformity for particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites

A modified mixed strengthening model was proposed for describing the yield strength of particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites.The strengthening mechanisms of the composites were analyzed based on the microstructures and compression mechanical properties.The distribution uniformity of reinforcements and cooperation relationship among dislocation mechanisms were considered in the modified mixed strengthening model by introducing a distribution uniformity factor u and a cooperation coefficient fc,respectively.The results show that the modified mixed strengthening model can accurately describe the yield strengths of Al3Ti/2024Al composites with a relative deviation less than1.2%,which is much more accurate than other strengthening models.The modified mixed model can also be used to predict the yield strength of Al3Ti/2024Al composites with different fractions of reinforcements.

A Hybrid Local/Nonlocal Continuum Mechanics Modeling and Simulation of Fracture in Brittle Materials

Classical continuum mechanics which leads to a local continuum model,encounters challenges when the discontinuity appears,while peridynamics that falls into the category of nonlocal continuum mechanics suffers from a high computational cost.A hybrid model coupling classical continuum mechanics with peridynamics can avoid both disadvantages.This paper describes the hybrid model and its adaptive coupling approach which dynamically updates the coupling domains according to crack propagations for brittle materials.Then this hybrid local/nonlocal continuum model is applied to fracture simulation.Some numerical examples like a plate with a hole,Brazilian disk,notched plate and beam,are performed for verification and validation.In addition,a peridynamic software is introduced,which was recently developed for the simulation of the hybrid local/nonlocal continuum model.

Oxygen vacancies enriched nickel cobalt based nanoflower cathodes: Mechanism and application of the enhanced energy storage

The rational design of oxygen vacancies and electronic microstructures of electrode materials for energy storage devices still remains a challenge. Herein, we synthesize nickel cobalt-based oxides nanoflower arrays assembled with nanowires grown on Ni foam via the hydrothermal process followed annealing process in air and argon atmospheres respectively. It is found that the annealing atmosphere has a vital influence on the oxygen vacancies and electronic microstructures of resulting NiCo_(2)O_(4) (NCO-Air) and CoNiO_(2) (NCO-Ar) products, which NCO-Ar has more oxygen vacancies and larger specific surface area of 163.48 m^(2)/g. The density functional theory calculation reveals that more oxygen vacancies can provide more electrons to adsorb –OH free anions resulting in superior electrochemical energy storage performance. Therefore, the assembled asymmetric supercapacitor of NCO-Ar//active carbon delivers an excellent energy density of 112.52 Wh/kg at a power density of 558.73 W/kg and the fabricated NCO-Ar//Zn battery presents the specific capacity of 180.20 mAh/g and energy density of 308.14 Wh/kg. The experimental measurement and theoretical calculation not only provide a facile strategy to construct flower-like mesoporous architectures with massive oxygen vacancies, but also demonstrate that NCO-Ar is an ideal electrode material for the next generation of energy storage devices.

A Hybrid Local/Nonlocal Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Damage and Fracture in Concrete Structure at High Temperatures

This paper proposes a hybrid peridynamic and classical continuum mechanical model for the high-temperature damage and fracture analysis of concrete structures.In this model,we introduce the thermal expansion into peridynamics and then couple it with the thermoelasticity based on the Morphing method.In addition,a thermomechanical constitutive model of peridynamic bond is presented inspired by the classic Mazars model for the quasi-brittle damage evolution of concrete structures under high-temperature conditions.The validity and effectiveness of the proposed model are verified through two-dimensional numerical examples,in which the influence of temperature on the damage behavior of concrete structures is investigated.Furthermore,the thermal effects on the fracture path of concrete structures are analyzed by numerical results.

Simple synthesis of silver nanocluster composites AgNCs@PE-g-PAA by irradiation method and fluorescence detection of Cr^(3+)

Silver nanoclusters(AgNCs)are a new type of nanomaterials with similar properties to molecules and unique applications.The applications of AgNCs can be significantly expanded by combining them with different matrix materials to obtain AgNC composites.Using irradiation techniques,we developed a simple two-step method for preparing silver nanocluster composites.First,polyacrylic acid(PAA)chains were grafted onto the surface of a PE film as templates(PE-g-PAA).Subsequently,silver ions were reduced in situ on the surface of the template material to obtain the AgNC composites(AgNCs@PE-g-PAA).The degree of AgNC loading on the composite film was easily controlled by adjusting the reaction conditions.The loaded AgNCs were anchored to the carboxyl groups of the PAA and wrapped in the graft chain.The particle size of the AgNCs was only 4.38±0.85 nm,with a very uniform particle size distribution.The AgNCs@PE-g-PAA exhibited fluorescence characteristics derived from the AgNCs.The fluorescence of the AgNCs@PE-g-PAA was easily quenched by Cr^(3+)ions.The composite can be used as a fluorescence test paper to realize visual detection of Cr^(3+).

ABAQUS and ANSYS Implementations of the Peridynamics-Based Finite Element Method(PeriFEM)for Brittle Fractures

In this study,we propose the first unified implementation strategy for peridynamics in commercial finite element method(FEM)software packages based on their application programming interface using the peridynamics-based finite element method(PeriFEM).Using ANSYS and ABAQUS as examples,we present the numerical results and implementation details of PeriFEM in commercial FEM software.PeriFEM is a reformulation of the traditional FEM for solving peridynamic equations numerically.It is considered that the non-local features of peridynamics yet possesses the same computational framework as the traditional FEM.Therefore,this implementation benefits from the consistent computational frameworks of both PeriFEM and the traditional FEM.An implicit algorithm is used for both ANSYS and ABAQUS;however,different convergence criteria are adopted owing to their unique features.In ANSYS,APDL enables users to conveniently obtain broken-bond information from UPFs;thus,the convergence criterion is chosen as no new broken bond.In ABAQUS,obtaining broken-bond information is not convenient for users;thus,the default convergence criterion is used in ABAQUS.The codes integrated into ANSYS and ABAQUS are both verified through benchmark examples,and the computational convergence and costs are compared.The results show that,for some specific examples,ABAQUS is more efficient,whereas the convergence criterion adopted in ANSYS is more robust.Finally,3D examples are presented to demonstrate the ability of the proposed approach to deal with complex engineering problems.

Reversing ferroptosis resistance by MOFs through regulation intracellular redox homeostasis

As a non-apoptotic cell death form,ferroptosis offers an alternative approach to overcome cancer chemotherapy resistance.However,accumulating evidence indicates cancer cells can develop ferroptosis resistance by evolving antioxidative defense mechanisms.To address this issue,we prepared a Buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine(BSO)loaded metal organic framework(MOF)of BSO-MOF-HA(BMH)with the combination effect of boosting oxidative damage and inhibiting antioxidative defense.MOF nanoparticle was constructed by the photosensitizer of[4,4,4,4-(porphine-5,10,15,20-tetrayl)tetrakis(benzoic acid)](TCPP)and the metal ion of Zr6,which was further decorated with hyaluronic acid(HA)in order to impart active targeting to CD44 receptors overexpressed cancer cells.BMH exhibited a negative charge and spherical shape with average particle size about 162.5nm.BMH was found to restore the susceptibility of 4T1 cells to ferroptosis under irradiation.This was attributed to the combination of photodynamic therapy(PDT)andγ-glutamylcysteine synthetase inhibitor of BSO,shifting the redox balance to oxidative stress.Enhanced ferroptosis also induced the release of damage associated molecular patterns(DAMPs)to maturate dendritic cells and activated T lymphocytes,leading to superior anti-tumor performance in vivo.Taken together,our findings demonstrated that boosting oxidative damage with photosensitizer serves as an effective strategy to reverse ferroptosis resistance.

Preparation of antibacterial non-woven AgNCs@PP-g-PAA via radiation method

With the growing threat of airborne epidemics,there has been an increasing emphasis on personal protection.Masks serve as our primary external defense against bacteria and viruses that might enter the respiratory tract.Hence,it’s crucial to develop a polypropylene(PP)nonwoven fabric with quick antibacterial capabilities as a key component for masks.This study introduces silver nanoclusters(AgNCs)into non-woven PP using radiation technology to infuse antibacterial properties.Initially,a solid ligand(PP-g-PAA)was procured via radiation grafting of the ligand polyacrylic acid(PAA),which was incorporated into the nonwoven PP with the aid of a crosslinking agent at a lower absorbed dosage.Subsequently,AgNCs were synthesized in situ on PP-g-PAA via an interaction between PAA and AgNCs,leading directly to the formation of AgNCs@PP-g-PAA composites.Owing to the hydrophilicity of PAA,AgNCs@PP-g-PAA maintains good moisture permeability even when the voids are heavily saturated with PAA gel,preventing droplet aggregation by diffusing droplets on the surface of the material.This feature enhances the comfort of the masks.Most importantly,due to the incorporation of AgNCs,AgNCs@PP-g-PAA demonstrates outstanding antibacterial effects against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus,nearly achieving an instant“touch and kill”outcome.In conclusion,we synthesized a modified nonwoven fabric with significant antibacterial activity using a simple synthetic route,offering a promising material that provides improved personal protection.
