This study investigates dynamics embedded in surface water, groundwater, and precipitation time series data in the Lake Tuscaloosa watershed located in northern Alabama, using standard statistics and non-stationarity analysis. Standard statistics analysis shows that less water is available in this watershed over time. A significant correlation between different data sets is found, and groundwater is found to be slower evolving than its nearby surface systems. Non-stationarity analysis based on time scale-local Hurst exponents calculated by the multifractal detrended fluctuation approach shows that, on one hand, the stream system exhibits non-stationarity properties similar to precipitation, as expected. On the other hand, groundwater and lake stage non-stationarity is found to be influenced by the seasonal variation in rainfall and the long-term anthropogenic factors. Therefore, sustainability of surface water and aquifer may be affected by natural input and/or anthropogenic activity, both of which can evolve non-stationary in different time scales.展开更多

However, their commercial application is hindered by the low redox kinetics and high sulfur losses. In principle, in the design of cathodes and separators, the adsorption toward lithium-polysulfides should be enhanced and the conversion of soluble high-order lithium-polysulfides should be catalyzed. Herein, a KV_(3)O_(8)·0.75H_(2)O separator is designed as an effective lithium-polysulfides mediator in lithiumsulfur batteries. The intercalated K+ would enlarge the interlayer spacing of vanadium oxides, preventing the collapse of the layer structure and improving the electrical/ion conductivity of the interface. Moreover, the KV_(3)O_(8)·0.75H_(2)O modified separator possess a prior adsorption and high redox kinetics toward lithium-polysulfides due to the enhanced diffusion kinetics, which guarantees the high-rate capability and efficient utilization of sulfur. As a result, lithiumsulfur batteries exhibit a high capacity of 1362 mAh·g^(-1) and a long lifespan with a low capacity loss of 0.073% per cycle. This work may provide an alternative way to establish a functional separator to balance the adsorption and conversion of polysulfides during the redox back and forth.展开更多

As the capsule’s main active component, chlorogenic acid comes from the extraction of Chinese herb medicine Flos Lonicerae. The chlorogenic acid in capsule was ultrasonically extracted at room temperature using pure water as solvent. The extracting solution was enriched and cleaned using HC-C18 SPE cartridge. The effect of ultrasonic extraction, sample pretreatment conditions via SPE and q NMR experimental conditions were investigated. The q NMR experiment conditions were selected using deuterated DMSO as solvent, calibrated 1,4-phthalaldehyde as internal standard, and P1(pulse width) = 14.4 μs, d1(pulse delay time) = 1 s, NS(number of scan) = 512. The 1 H NMR peaks of δ 6.138–6.182(H-8’, d, 1 H) of chlorogenic acid was chosen as the quantitative peaks. Method validation was performed, including precision(the intra-day RSD = 1.2% and the inter-day RSD = 1.5%), linearity(correlation coefficient r>0.9999), LOD(0.0017 mg/g) and LOQ(0.079 mg/g). The recovery of the SPE-q NMR was within the range of 100.2%–103.2%. The result showed that the method was stable, accurate and reliabile. Determined by the method, the chlorogenic acid in a real Shuanghuanglian capsule was within the range of 9.68–10.35 mg/g.展开更多

文摘Interconnected components of water cycle, including surface water, groundwater, and precipitation, can exhibit complex hydrologic dynamics. This study investigates dynamics embedded in surface water, groundwater, and precipitation time series data in the Lake Tuscaloosa watershed located in northern Alabama, using standard statistics and non-stationarity analysis. Standard statistics analysis shows that less water is available in this watershed over time. A significant correlation between different data sets is found, and groundwater is found to be slower evolving than its nearby surface systems. Non-stationarity analysis based on time scale-local Hurst exponents calculated by the multifractal detrended fluctuation approach shows that, on one hand, the stream system exhibits non-stationarity properties similar to precipitation, as expected. On the other hand, groundwater and lake stage non-stationarity is found to be influenced by the seasonal variation in rainfall and the long-term anthropogenic factors. Therefore, sustainability of surface water and aquifer may be affected by natural input and/or anthropogenic activity, both of which can evolve non-stationary in different time scales.

文摘KRAS-TP53 co-mutation is strongly associated with poor prognosis and high malignancy in gastrointestinal cancers.Therefore,a novel approach to oncotherapy may lie in combination therapy targeting both KRAS and TP53.Herein,we present a novel self-assembled nanoparticle(HA-TPP/A)that are functionalized nano-carrier hyaluronic acid(HA)-TPP conjugate(HA-TPP)to degrade mutant p53 proteins(mutp53)and co-deliver AMG510 for treating KRAS-TP53 co-alteration of gastrointestinal cancers by inhibiting the mutant KRAS and mutp53 signaling pathways.The HA-TPP/A nanoparticles led to ubiquitination-dependent proteasomal degradation of mutp53 by targeting damage to mitochondria.Furthermore,these nanoparticles abrogated the gain-of-function(GOF)phenotypes of mutp53 and increased sensitivity to AMG510-induced cell killing,thereby reducing cell proliferation and migration in gastrointestinal cancer with KRAS-TP53 co-mutation.The co-loaded HA-TPP/A nanoparticles demonstrated remarkable therapeutic efficacy in a tumor-bearing mouse model,particularly in KRAS-TP53 double mutant expressing cancer cells,compared with single drug and combined free drug groups.Notably,HA-TPP/A is the first reported nanoparticle with an ability to co-target KRAS-TP53,providing a promising approach for therapy in highly malignant gastrointestinal tumors and potentially expanding clinical indications for AMG510 targeted therapies in gastrointestinal tumors.

文摘Vapor catalysis was recently found to play a crucial role in superclean graphene growth via chemical vapor decomposition(CVD).However,knowledge of vapor-phase catalysis is scarce,and several fundamental issues,including vapor compositions and their impact on graphene growth,are ambiguous.Here,by combining density functional theory(DFT)calculations,an ideal gas model,and a designed experiment,we found that the vapor was mainly composed of Cui clusters with tens of atoms.The vapor pressure was estimated to be~10^(-12)-10^(-1)1 bar under normal low-pressure CVD system(LPCVD)conditions for graphene growth,and the exposed surface area of Cui clusters in the vapor was 22-269 times that of the Cu substrate surface,highlighting the importance of vapor catalysis.DFT calculations show Cu clusters,represented by Cu17,have strong capabilities for adsorption,dehydrogenation,and decomposition of hydrocarbons.They exhibit an adsorption lifetime and reaction flux six orders of magnitude higher than those on the Cu surface,thus providing a sufficient supply of active C atoms for rapid graphene growth and improving the surface cleanliness of the synthesized graphene.Further experimental validation showed that increasing the amount of Cu vapor improved the as-synthesized graphene growth rate and surface cleanliness.This study provides a comprehensive understanding of vapor catalysis and the fundamental basis of vapor control for superclean graphene rapid growth.

文摘Lithiumsulfur batteries have been intensively studied due to their high theoretical energy density and abundant sulfur resources. However, their commercial application is hindered by the low redox kinetics and high sulfur losses. In principle, in the design of cathodes and separators, the adsorption toward lithium-polysulfides should be enhanced and the conversion of soluble high-order lithium-polysulfides should be catalyzed. Herein, a KV_(3)O_(8)·0.75H_(2)O separator is designed as an effective lithium-polysulfides mediator in lithiumsulfur batteries. The intercalated K+ would enlarge the interlayer spacing of vanadium oxides, preventing the collapse of the layer structure and improving the electrical/ion conductivity of the interface. Moreover, the KV_(3)O_(8)·0.75H_(2)O modified separator possess a prior adsorption and high redox kinetics toward lithium-polysulfides due to the enhanced diffusion kinetics, which guarantees the high-rate capability and efficient utilization of sulfur. As a result, lithiumsulfur batteries exhibit a high capacity of 1362 mAh·g^(-1) and a long lifespan with a low capacity loss of 0.073% per cycle. This work may provide an alternative way to establish a functional separator to balance the adsorption and conversion of polysulfides during the redox back and forth.

文摘Chronic kidney disease(CKD)and heart failure(HF)are highly prevalent,aggravate each other,and account for substantial mortality.However,the mechanisms underlying cardiorenal interaction and the role of kidney afferent nerves and their precise central pathway remain limited.Here,we combined virus tracing techniques with optogenetic techniques to map a polysynaptic central pathway linking kidney afferent nerves to subfornical organ(SFO)and thereby to paraventricular nucleus(PVN)and rostral ventrolateral medulla that modulates sympathetic outflow.This kidney-brain neural circuit was overactivated in mouse models of CKD or HF and subsequently enhanced the sympathetic discharge to both the kidney and the heart in each model.Interruption of the pathway by kidney deafferentation,selective deletion of angiotensin II type 1a receptor(AT1a)in SFO,or optogenetic silence of the kidney-SFO or SFO-PVN projection decreased the sympathetic discharge and lessened structural damage and dysfunction of both kidney and heart in models of CKD and HF.Thus,kidney afferent nerves activate a kidney-brain neural circuit in CKD and HF that drives the sympathetic nervous system to accelerate disease progression in both organs.These results demonstrate the crucial role of kidney afferent nerves and their central connections in engaging cardiorenal interactions under both physiological and disease conditions.This suggests novel therapies for CKD or HF targeting this kidney-brain neural circuit.

文摘The determination method of chlorogenic acid in traditional Chinese prescription Shuanghuanglian capsule was established by using quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(q NMR) in combination with solid phase extraction(SPE). As the capsule’s main active component, chlorogenic acid comes from the extraction of Chinese herb medicine Flos Lonicerae. The chlorogenic acid in capsule was ultrasonically extracted at room temperature using pure water as solvent. The extracting solution was enriched and cleaned using HC-C18 SPE cartridge. The effect of ultrasonic extraction, sample pretreatment conditions via SPE and q NMR experimental conditions were investigated. The q NMR experiment conditions were selected using deuterated DMSO as solvent, calibrated 1,4-phthalaldehyde as internal standard, and P1(pulse width) = 14.4 μs, d1(pulse delay time) = 1 s, NS(number of scan) = 512. The 1 H NMR peaks of δ 6.138–6.182(H-8’, d, 1 H) of chlorogenic acid was chosen as the quantitative peaks. Method validation was performed, including precision(the intra-day RSD = 1.2% and the inter-day RSD = 1.5%), linearity(correlation coefficient r>0.9999), LOD(0.0017 mg/g) and LOQ(0.079 mg/g). The recovery of the SPE-q NMR was within the range of 100.2%–103.2%. The result showed that the method was stable, accurate and reliabile. Determined by the method, the chlorogenic acid in a real Shuanghuanglian capsule was within the range of 9.68–10.35 mg/g.

文摘As an emerging scintillation material,metal halide perovskite(CsPbX3)has been deemed the most potentially valuable candidate in X-ray detection and medical imaging.Nevertheless,it is a continuing challenge to implement efficient radioluminescence(RL)with high radiation stability and moisture resistance.Moreover,the optimized luminescence properties and excellent uniformity of CsPbX3 glass are also key points for obtaining perfect X-ray images.Herein,we have successfully precipitated Eu^(3+)-doped CsPbBr_(3)nanocrystals(NCs)with improved photoluminescence quantum yield(≈58.6%)because partial Eu^(3+)entered the perovskite lattice in a robust borosilicate glass matrix by in situ crystallization.The small amount of Eu addition made the lattice of NCs shrink and promoted uniform distribution of CsPbBr_(3)NCs in the glass,which effectively reduced the light scattering of the sample.Subsequently,multimodal RL intensity of the CsPbBr_(3)/CsPbBr_(3):xEu NCs glasses(CPB-0Eu/CPB-xEu)as a function of X-ray dose rate showed a superlinear relationship to the benefit of obtaining satisfactory X-ray images.Also,the outstanding radiation stability and water resistance of CPB-xEu were confirmed due to the protection of the robust glass matrix.Finally,an X-ray imaging system using a CPB-xEu scintillator was constructed,and the spring in the opaque sample was legibly detected under the motivation of X-rays,indicating that CsPbX3 glasses possess extensive application prospects in terms of X-ray detection and medical imaging.
