Effects of nutrient limitations on the sinking velocity of Thalassiosira weissflogii

The sinking of diatoms is critic al to the formation of oceanic biological pumps and coastal hypoxic zones.However,little is known about the effects of different nutrient restrictions on diatom sinking.In this study,we measured the sinking velocity(SV) of Thalassiosira weissflogii using a new phytoplankton video observation instrument and analyzed major biochemical components under varying nutrient conditions.Our results showed that the SV of T.weissflogii under different nutrient limitation conditions varied substantially.The highest SV of(1.77±0.02) m/d was obtained under nitrate limitation,signific antly surpassing that under phosphate limitation at(0.98±0.13) m/d.As the nutrient limitation was released,the SV steadily decreased to(0.32±0.03) m/d and(0.15±0.05) m/d,respectively.Notably;under conditions with limited nitrate and phosphate concentrations,the SV values of T.weissflogii significantly positively correlated with the lipid content(P <0.001),with R^(2) values of 0.86 and 0.69,respectively.The change of the phytoplankton SV was primarily related to the intracellular compo sition,which is controlled by nutrient conditions but did not significantly correlate with transparent extracellular polymer and biosilica contents.The results of this study help to understand the regulation of the vertical sinking process of diatoms by nutrient restriction and provide new insights into phytoplankton dynamics and their relationship with the marine nutrient structure.

Fine mapping and validation of a stable QTL for thousand-kernel weight in wheat(Triticum aestivum L.)

Thousand-kernel weight(TKW)is a measure of grain weight,a target of wheat breeding.The object of this study was to fine-map a stable quantitative trait loci(QTL)for TKW and identify its candidate gene in a recombinant inbred line(RIL)population derived from the cross of Kenong 9204(KN9204)and Jing411(J411).On a high-density genetic linkage map,24,26 and 25 QTL were associated with TKW,kernel length(KL),and kernel width(KW),respectively.A major and stable QTL,QTkw-2D,was mapped to an8.3 cM interval on chromosome arm 2DL.By saturation of polymorphic markers in its target region,QTkw-2D was confined to a 9.13 Mb physical interval using a secondary mapping population derived from a residually heterozygous line(F6:7).This interval was further narrowed to 2.52 Mb using QTkw-2D near-isogenic lines(NILs).NILs~(KN9204)had higher fresh and dry weights than NILsJ411at various grain-filling stages.The TKW and KW of NILs~(KN9204)were much higher than those of NILsJ411in field trials.By comparison of both DNA sequence and expression between KN9204 and J411,TraesCS2D02G460300.1(TraesKN2D01HG49350)was assigned as a candidate gene for QTkw-2D.This was confirmed by RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)of QTkw-2D NILs.These results provide the basis of map-based cloning of QTkw-2D,and DNA markers linked to the candidate gene may be used in marker-assisted selection.

锌粉置换渣浸出过程中镓的溶解行为及改善方法

针对丹霞冶炼厂锌粉置换渣浸出过程中镓浸出率偏低问题,采用ICP-AES、XRD与SEM-EDS对不同批次锌粉置换渣化学成分、物相与形貌进行详细分析。与正常生产锌粉置换渣相比,异常锌粉置换渣中镓主要赋存于黄钾铁矾之中,造成镓浸出困难。对锌粉置换渣氧压浸出过程进行分析,镓、砷和铁溶出规律较为一致:增大硫酸浓度和液固比有利于镓、铁和砷的浸出,但提高温度和氧气分压对镓、铁和砷溶出不利。依据上述研究结果,提出强化镓浸出效率的改善措施,弱化一段氧压浸出(分别降低反应温度和压缩空气总压至90℃和0.2 MPa)与强化三段常压浸出(分别提高硫酸浓度和反应温度至160 g/L和85℃),镓的浸出效率由77.83%提高至96.46%。

近中性锌-空气电池具有对锌负极良好的沉积/剥离相容性和对空气中二氧化碳的化学稳定性,在长循环方面展现出极高的应用前景。然而,液态电解质固有的水分挥发问题和可穿戴设备所需的柔性等需求,限制了这一体系的实际应用。本研究复合了具有高离子电导率和机械强度的聚丙烯酰胺聚合物骨架、具有丰富硅羟基的保水添加剂气相SiO_(2)和对二氧化碳稳定的近中性电解液,制备了气相SiO_(2)复合水凝胶聚合物电解质(SiO_(2)-HPE)。所合成的SiO_(2)-HPE聚合程度高,表面孔道丰富且元素分布均匀。SiO_(2)表面丰富的硅羟基通过改变HPE中的氢键网络,加强了对水分子的束缚,SiO_(2)-HPE因此展现出了良好的保水性、优异的机械性能和较高的离子电导率,是一种理想的柔性锌-空气电池电解质。基于SiO_(2)-HPE组装的近中性锌-空气电池,在相对湿度为30%的条件下,循环寿命可达200 h。此外,基于SiO_(2)-HPE的柔性近中性锌-空气电池器件在弯曲和剪切等特殊条件下都展现出优异的性能,并且可作为电源为不同的用电器供电,是一种极具潜力的下一代电化学储能器件。

可见光催化CO_(2)参与的芳基烯烃碳碳双键断键羧基化反应

烯烃广泛存在于自然界中,在医药、农药和材料等领域具有重要应用.烯烃的C=C键断裂和转化是许多工业过程的基础,可以实现烃类资源的重组与利用.目前,C=C键参与的氧化裂解和烯烃复分解反应已有广泛的研究.相比而言,C=C键参与的还原裂解虽然是烯烃与一系列亲电试剂反应合成功能分子的重要途径,但受限于烯烃自身结构和反应特点,该过程存在较大的挑战,目前研究很少.CO_(2)具有储量丰富、廉价易得、无毒且可循环再生等优点,是合成多种大宗化学品及精细化学品的理想碳一资源.然而,CO_(2)由于热力学稳定性及动力学惰性,在温和条件下难以高效、高选择性转化.因此,利用CO_(2)参与烯烃C=C键还原裂解,选择性构建高值化合物,是一个重要且具有挑战性的研究方向.近年来,可见光催化由于具有反应条件温和、官能团兼容性高等优点,为有机合成等领域提供了新的发展机遇.本文利用二环己基甲基胺作为电子给体,成功实现了可见光催化CO_(2)参与的芳基烯烃C=C键断键羧基化反应.该反应成功的关键在于,二环己基甲基胺既能高效还原淬灭激发态光敏剂并参与烯烃的胺基烷基-羧基化反应,又不明显抑制胺基烷基化中间体对激发态光敏剂的还原淬灭.研究结果表明,多种不同取代(如给电子基和吸电子基)的芳基烯烃均可与CO_(2)发生羧基化反应,高效高选择性地构建了一系列官能团丰富的芳基乙酸类化合物(如萘普生等药物分子).该方法具有反应条件温和(1 atm,室温)、官能团耐受性好以及可用于合成药物衍生物等特点.此外,本文通过氘代实验等机理研究和密度泛函理论计算证明,胺甲基羧化中间体、苄基自由基和苄基碳负离子都是该反应的关键中间体,并提出了可能的反应机理:首先,二环己基甲基胺还原淬灭激发态光敏剂,产生α-胺基碳自由基,与芳基烯烃发生自由基加成反应,得到苄基自由基,进而被还原态光敏剂还原为碳负离子,对CO_(2)亲核进攻得到烯烃的胺基烷基-羧基化中间体;作为电子给体,该中间体可以淬灭另一分子的激发态光敏剂,并通过分子内去质子化过程,产生α-胺基碳自由基物种,进而经历自由基型β-C断裂,生成热力学更稳定的羧基化苄基自由基,从而实现了烯烃C=C键的还原裂解;最后,新产生的苄基自由基被进一步还原为碳负离子,经历质子化过程后得到目标产物.综上,本文以还原裂解的方式丰富了C=C键断键官能团化反应领域,在温和条件下实现了CO_(2)的高效高选择性转化,合成了高附加值的芳基乙酸类化合物,阐明了反应机制,为烯烃和CO_(2)的同时高值化利用提供了新思路,为后续相关反应的开发和应用提供参考.

聚丙烯(PP)熔喷空气过滤材料的抗菌性能较差,细菌、霉菌等微生物会寄生于材料表面。文中利用仿生改性法,以单宁酸(TA)为抗菌改性剂、CuSO_(4)/H_(2)O_(2)为促进剂制备了具有优异抗菌性能的PP/TA熔喷空气过滤材料。分析讨论了TA改性溶液浓度和CuSO_(4)/H_(2)O_(2)促进剂的加入对PP/TA熔喷空气过滤材料结构与性能的影响。结果表明,CuSO_(4)/H_(2)O_(2)促进剂的加入将TA改性时间从24 h缩短至40 min,并增强了PP/TA熔喷空气过滤材料的改性牢度。当TA浓度为6 g/L时,PP/TA熔喷空气过滤材料相较于PP熔喷空气过滤材料其过滤效率和压降分别提升了2.7%和4 Pa,水接触角降低了17.5°;且TA改性对PP熔喷空气过滤材料的驻极性能并无影响,驻极后PP/TA熔喷过滤材料的过滤效率为95.56%,压降为38 Pa,且具备良好的抗菌性能。同时,CuSO_(4)/H_(2)O_(2)促进剂的加入在材料表面引入了Cu^(2+),增强了抗菌效果。

Snap-through behaviors and nonlinear vibrations of a bistable composite laminated cantilever shell:an experimental and numerical study

The snap-through behaviors and nonlinear vibrations are investigated for a bistable composite laminated cantilever shell subjected to transversal foundation excitation based on experimental and theoretical approaches.An improved experimental specimen is designed in order to satisfy the cantilever support boundary condition,which is composed of an asymmetric region and a symmetric region.The symmetric region of the experimental specimen is entirely clamped,which is rigidly connected to an electromagnetic shaker,while the asymmetric region remains free of constraint.Different motion paths are realized for the bistable cantilever shell by changing the input signal levels of the electromagnetic shaker,and the displacement responses of the shell are collected by the laser displacement sensors.The numerical simulation is conducted based on the established theoretical model of the bistable composite laminated cantilever shell,and an off-axis three-dimensional dynamic snap-through domain is obtained.The numerical solutions are in good agreement with the experimental results.The nonlinear stiffness characteristics,dynamic snap-through domain,and chaos and bifurcation behaviors of the shell are quantitatively analyzed.Due to the asymmetry of the boundary condition and the shell,the upper stable-state of the shell exhibits an obvious soft spring stiffness characteristic,and the lower stable-state shows a linear stiffness characteristic of the shell.

High-efficiency sodium storage of Co_(0.85)Se/WSe_(2) encapsulated in N-doped carbon polyhedron via vacancy and heterojunction engineering

With the advantage of fast charge transfer,heterojunction engineering is identified as a viable method to reinforce the anodes'sodium storage performance.Also,vacancies can effectively strengthen the Na+adsorption ability and provide extra active sites for Na+adsorption.However,their synchronous engineering is rarely reported.Herein,a hybrid of Co_(0.85)Se/WSe_(2) heterostructure with Se vacancies and N-doped carbon polyhedron(CoWSe/NCP)has been fabricated for the first time via a hydrothermal and subsequent selenization strategy.Spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy confirms the phase interface of the Co_(0.85)Se/WSe_(2) heterostructure and the existence of Se vacancies.Density functional theory simulations reveal the accelerated charge transfer and enhanced Na+adsorption ability,which are contributed by the Co_(0.85)Se/WSe_(2) heterostructure and Se vacancies,respectively.As expected,the CoWSe/NCP anode in sodium-ion battery achieves outstanding rate capability(339.6 mAh g^(−1) at 20 A g^(−1)),outperforming almost all Co/W-based selenides.

Is recovery enhancement after gastric cancer surgery really a safe approach for elderly patients?

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the safety of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)in elderly patients with gastric cancer(GC).AIM To evaluate the safety of ERAS in elderly patients with GC.METHODS The PubMed,EMBASE,and Cochrane Library databases were used to search for eligible studies from inception to April 1,2023.The mean difference(MD),odds ratio(OR)and 95%confidence interval(95%CI)were pooled for analysis.The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale scores.We used Stata(V.16.0)software for data analysis.RESULTS This study consists of six studies involving 878 elderly patients.By analyzing the clinical outcomes,we found that the ERAS group had shorter postoperative hospital stays(MD=-0.51,I2=0.00%,95%CI=-0.72 to-0.30,P=0.00);earlier times to first flatus(defecation;MD=-0.30,I²=0.00%,95%CI=-0.55 to-0.06,P=0.02);less intestinal obstruction(OR=3.24,I2=0.00%,95%CI=1.07 to 9.78,P=0.04);less nausea and vomiting(OR=4.07,I2=0.00%,95%CI=1.29 to 12.84,P=0.02);and less gastric retention(OR=5.69,I2=2.46%,95%CI=2.00 to 16.20,P=0.00).Our results showed that the conventional group had a greater mortality rate than the ERAS group(OR=0.24,I2=0.00%,95%CI=0.07 to 0.84,P=0.03).However,there was no statistically significant difference in major complications between the ERAS group and the conventional group(OR=0.67,I2=0.00%,95%CI=0.38 to 1.18,P=0.16).CONCLUSION Compared to those with conventional recovery,elderly GC patients who received the ERAS protocol after surgery had a lower risk of mortality.

Neural stem cell-derived exosomes promote mitochondrial biogenesis and restore abnormal protein distribution in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.We previously showed that neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles improved mitochondrial function in the cortex of AP P/PS1 mice.Because Alzheimer’s disease affects the entire brain,further research is needed to elucidate alterations in mitochondrial metabolism in the brain as a whole.Here,we investigated the expression of several important mitochondrial biogenesis-related cytokines in multiple brain regions after treatment with neural stem cell-derived exosomes and used a combination of whole brain clearing,immunostaining,and lightsheet imaging to clarify their spatial distribution.Additionally,to clarify whether the sirtuin 1(SIRT1)-related pathway plays a regulatory role in neural stem cell-de rived exosomes interfering with mitochondrial functional changes,we generated a novel nervous system-SIRT1 conditional knoc kout AP P/PS1mouse model.Our findings demonstrate that neural stem cell-de rived exosomes significantly increase SIRT1 levels,enhance the production of mitochondrial biogenesis-related fa ctors,and inhibit astrocyte activation,but do not suppress amyloid-βproduction.Thus,neural stem cell-derived exosomes may be a useful therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer’s disease that activates the SIRT1-PGC1αsignaling pathway and increases NRF1 and COXIV synthesis to improve mitochondrial biogenesis.In addition,we showed that the spatial distribution of mitochondrial biogenesis-related factors is disrupted in Alzheimer’s disease,and that neural stem cell-derived exosome treatment can reverse this effect,indicating that neural stem cell-derived exosomes promote mitochondrial biogenesis.

Fabrication and integration of photonic devices for phase-change memory and neuromorphic computing

In the past decade,there has been tremendous progress in integrating chalcogenide phase-change materials(PCMs)on the silicon photonic platform for non-volatile memory to neuromorphic in-memory computing applications.In particular,these non von Neumann computational elements and systems benefit from mass manufacturing of silicon photonic integrated circuits(PICs)on 8-inch wafers using a 130 nm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor line.Chip manufacturing based on deep-ultraviolet lithography and electron-beam lithography enables rapid prototyping of PICs,which can be integrated with high-quality PCMs based on the wafer-scale sputtering technique as a back-end-of-line process.In this article,we present an overview of recent advances in waveguide integrated PCM memory cells,functional devices,and neuromorphic systems,with an emphasis on fabrication and integration processes to attain state-of-the-art device performance.After a short overview of PCM based photonic devices,we discuss the materials properties of the functional layer as well as the progress on the light guiding layer,namely,the silicon and germanium waveguide platforms.Next,we discuss the cleanroom fabrication flow of waveguide devices integrated with thin films and nanowires,silicon waveguides and plasmonic microheaters for the electrothermal switching of PCMs and mixed-mode operation.Finally,the fabrication of photonic and photonic–electronic neuromorphic computing systems is reviewed.These systems consist of arrays of PCM memory elements for associative learning,matrix-vector multiplication,and pattern recognition.With large-scale integration,the neuromorphic photonic computing paradigm holds the promise to outperform digital electronic accelerators by taking the advantages of ultra-high bandwidth,high speed,and energy-efficient operation in running machine learning algorithms.

GATIS score for predicting the prognosis of rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms:A Chinese multicenter study of 12-year experience

BACKGROUND There is currently a shortage of accurate,efficient,and precise predictive instruments for rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms(NENs).AIM To develop a predictive model for individuals with rectal NENs(R-NENs)using data from a large cohort.METHODS Data from patients with primary R-NENs were retrospectively collected from 17 large-scale referral medical centers in China.Random forest and Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify the risk factors for overall survival and progression-free survival,and two nomograms were constructed.RESULTS A total of 1408 patients with R-NENs were included.Tumor grade,T stage,tumor size,age,and a prognostic nutritional index were important risk factors for prognosis.The GATIS score was calculated based on these five indicators.For overall survival prediction,the respective C-indexes in the training set were 0.915(95%confidence interval:0.866-0.964)for overall survival prediction and 0.908(95%confidence interval:0.872-0.944)for progression-free survival prediction.According to decision curve analysis,net benefit of the GATIS score was higher than that of a single factor.The time-dependent area under the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the predictive power of the GATIS score was higher than that of the TNM stage and pathological grade at all time periods.CONCLUSION The GATIS score had a good predictive effect on the prognosis of patients with R-NENs,with efficacy superior to that of the World Health Organization grade and TNM stage.

Expert consensus on odontogenic maxillary sinusitis multi-disciplinary treatment

Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) is a subtype of maxillary sinusitis (MS). It is actually inflammation of the maxillary sinus that secondary to adjacent infectious maxillary dental lesion. Due to the lack of unique clinical features, OMS is difficult to distinguish from other types of rhinosinusitis. Besides, the characteristic infectious pathogeny of OMS makes it is resistant to conventional therapies of rhinosinusitis. Its current diagnosis and treatment are thus facing great difficulties. The multi-disciplinary cooperation between otolaryngologists and dentists is absolutely urgent to settle these questions and to acquire standardized diagnostic and treatment regimen for OMS. However, this disease has actually received little attention and has been underrepresented by relatively low publication volume and quality. Based on systematically reviewed literature and practical experiences of expert members, our consensus focuses on characteristics, symptoms, classification and diagnosis of OMS, and further put forward multidisciplinary treatment decisions for OMS, as well as the common treatment complications and relative managements. This consensus aims to increase attention to OMS, and optimize the clinical diagnosis and decision-making of OMS, which finally provides evidence-based options for OMS clinical management.
