Methods: Hepatocellular carcinoma cells were treated with IFN-α2b. Autophagy was assessed by acridine orange staining, GFP-LC3 dotted assay, transmission eleαron microscopy and immunoblotting. Results: Acridine orange staining showed that IFN-α2b triggered the accumulation of acidic vesicular and autolysosomes in HepG2 cells. The acridine orange HepG2 cell ratios were (4.3±1.0)%, (6.9±1.4)%, and (13.1±2.3)%, respeαively, after treatment with 100, 1,000, and 10,000 IU/mL IFN-α2b for 48 h. A markedly punαate pattern was observed in HepG2 cells treated with 10,000 IU/mL [FN-α2b for 48 h, but only diffuse and weakly fluorescent GFP-LC3 punαa was observed in control cells. HepG2 cells treated with 10,000 IU/mL IFN-α2b for 48 h developed autophagosome-like charaαeristics, including single- or double-membrane vacuoles containing intaα and degraded cellular debris. The Beclinl and LC3-II protein expression was up-regulated by IFN-α2b treatment. Conclusion: Autophagy can be induced in a dose-dependent manner by treatment with IFN-α2b in HepG2 cells, and the Beclinl signaling pathway was stimulated by IFN-α2b.展开更多

Meanwhile, livestock manure is often improperly managed by farmers, which leads to serious environmental pollution. To resolve these two problems, this study developed a procedure for the conversion of chicken manure to organic fertilizer by larvae of Hermetia illucens L. and Bacillus subtilis BSF-CL. Chicken manure organic fertilizer was then mixed thoroughly with Paenibacillus polymyxa KM2501-1 to a final concentration of 1.5×10^(8)CFU g^(-1). The efficacy of KM2501-1 microbial organic fertilizer in controlling root-knot nematodes was evaluated in pot and field experiments. In pot experiments, applying KM2501-1 microbial organic fertilizer either as a base fertilizer or as a fumigant at the dose of 40 g/pot suppressed root-knot disease by 61.76 and 69.05% compared to the corresponding control treatments, respectively. When applied as a fumigant at the dose of 1 kg m;in field experiments, KM2501-1 microbial organic fertilizer enhanced the growth of tomato plants, suppressed root-knot disease by 49.97%, and reduced second stage juveniles of RKN in soil by 88.68%. KM2501-1 microbial organic fertilizer controlled RKNs better than commercial bio-organic fertilizer in both pot and field experiments. These results demonstrate that this co-conversion process efficiently transforms chicken manure into high value-added larvae biomass and KM2501-1 microbial organic fertilizer with potential application as a novel nematode control agent.展开更多

The device consists of a pair of FBGs with different central wavelengths fabricated by femtosecond laser phase mask method and a metal substrate with lever structure. The displacement is amplified by lever structure and it converts into axial tension of FBG, which has a high displacement sensitivity. The amplification factors obtained by theoretical analysis and finite element simulation are 2.67 and 2.50, respectively. The experimental results show that in the range of 0-50 μm the shift of FBG center wavelength is linearly related to the displacement of measured object and displacement sensitivity reaches 121 pm/μm. In addition, the cascaded FBG is used to compensate the temperature.展开更多

The method of X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, TA-DTG and SEM analysis had been used to research the influence of the reaction temperature on the phase, structure and morphology of the product during the preparation of the basic magnesium carbonate. The results indicates that the product was needle-like magnesium carbonate hydrate at the lower reaction temperature (from 35 ℃ to 65℃), with the increase of the reaction temperature (75 ℃ to 95 ℃ ), the needle-like magnesium carbonate hydrate (MgCO3·xH2O) transformed to flake-like basic magnesium carbonate [Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2·4H2O], the reaction temperature plays an important role in the preparation of flake-like basic magnesium carbonate, the preparation of flake-like basic magnesium carbonate was a nucleation-dissolution-recrystallization growth mechanism process.展开更多

A method is proposed in two stages: (1) to square the original discrete time series, which includes both signals and noises, and form a new time series. By this means, the multiplicative noise is converted to additive noise; and (2) to filter out the noise by using existing noise removal schemes. With a large amount of simulation, experimental results demonstrated the efficiency and effectiveness of this newly developed method in terms of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and other criteria. Prom the experiment, it is also found that: the two kinds of noises affect the SNR differently. In general, the SNR is not influenced by multiplicative Gaussian noise regardless of its variance. However, if both kinds of noise exist, the SNR decreases with the incensement of the Variance of Additive Noise to Multiplicative Noise Ratio (VAMNR). This analysis is also supported by simulation work.展开更多
