氧化石墨烯-DNA纳米探针用于三磷酸腺苷的检测与药物递送

癌细胞内三磷酸腺苷(ATP)浓度异常与肿瘤发生发展过程密切相关,因此,快速、准确地检测细胞内外ATP水平具有重要意义。盐酸阿霉素(DOX)是一种广泛使用的抗癌药物,能嵌入DNA碱基对,并通过抑制DNA复制和转录诱导细胞凋亡。氧化石墨烯(Graphene oxide, GO)由于具有毒性低、比表面积大和易功能化,可以有效、稳定地负载DNA纳米探针进入细胞等优点而被广泛应用。然而,复杂环境中的生物分子容易通过物理吸附竞争性结合到GO表面,导致假阳性信号。基于此,提出了一种新型的GO-DNA纳米探针,并将其应用于ATP的检测与抗癌药物DOX靶向递送。以ATP的核酸适配体与其互补链杂交形成双链DNA(dsDNA),并通过G-C碱基对负载DOX,利用互补链延伸的poly A序列吸附到GO表面构建了GO-dsDNA-DOX纳米探针,能极大程度地降低复杂环境中物理吸附引起的干扰,减少假阳性信号产生。ATP与适配体特异性结合会导致DOX释放,根据其荧光“off-on”实现ATP的定量分析,DOX荧光强度与ATP含量在0.08~8.0 mmol/L范围内呈现良好的线性关系,线性方程为IF=3.0897c+129.08,检测限(3σ/k)为0.059 mmol/L,且方法具有良好的选择性和抗干扰能力。细胞毒性及荧光成像结果表明,负载DOX的纳米探针在人乳腺癌细胞(MCF-7)内有明显的药物释放,显著诱导细胞凋亡。该研究建立了一种免修饰、简单和快速的ATP含量检测分析方法,并利用癌细胞内高浓度ATP实现靶向药物递送,降低了对正常细胞的毒副作用,为癌症的治疗提供了新思路。

抑制SHP2和FGFR2调控RAS/ERK及PI3K/AKT通路治疗FGFR2融合胃癌

目的:探究共抑制成纤维细胞生长因子受体2(fibroblast growth factor receptor 2,FGFR2)和Src同源2结构域的蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶2(Src homology region 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2,SHP2)在FGFR2融合胃癌中的应用前景与作用机制。方法:构建过表达TACC2-FGFR2融合基因与对照慢病毒载体的人胃癌细胞系MKN45ACC2T-FGFR2、MKN45NC、NUGC4TACC2-FGFR2、NUGC4NC,分别用FGFR2抑制剂AZD4547、SHP2抑制剂SHP099或联药进行处理,通过细胞计数试剂盒(CCK-8)、划痕实验检测肿瘤细胞的增殖、迁移能力。以不同处理方式作用于MKN45TACC2-FGFR2、MKN45NC1 h或48 h后,采用Western blot法检测FGFR2、SHP2以及下游RAS/ERK、PI3K/AKT信号通路变化。结果:在MKN45TACC2-FGFR2与NUGC4TACC2-FGFR2中联用AZD4547与SHP099可以比单药更显著地抑制肿瘤细胞的增殖与迁移。药物处理1 h后,相较于AZD4547单药,联药在MKN45TACC2-FGFR2中进一步抑制了RAS/ERK、PI3K/AKT信号通路。药物处理48 h与1 h相比,AZD4547单药组中磷酸化FGFR与磷酸化SHP2出现了反馈性激活,且始终不能抑制RAS/ERK通路,但联药组可以持续地抑制上游的FGFR2、SHP2信号以及下游的RAS/ERK、PI3K/AKT通路。结论:共抑制FGFR2和SHP2可以通过下调RAS/ERK及PI3K/AKT通路有效抑制FGFR2融合胃癌,为FG-FR2融合突变胃癌患者带来新的治疗模式。

氧化石墨烯辅助的超分子骨架膜用于水包油型纳米乳液的高效分离

制备可以同时高效且高通量地处理纳米乳液的超浸润材料仍然具有挑战。为此,本文提出了一种通过在超分子骨架纳米片上修饰氧化石墨烯以增强亲水性的策略。通过将两种具有片状形态的材料连续抽滤于商业基质上,可制备得到氧化石墨烯辅助的超分子骨架复合膜,并用于分离具有纳米尺寸液滴的水包油乳液。骨架一方面通过均匀的纳米孔拦截乳液中分散的微小液滴,另一方面也通过带负电的表面提供静电相互作用来驱动破乳过程发生。具有良好亲水性的氧化石墨烯赋予膜材料改善的亲水能力和水合层。该复合膜具有纳米级的截留尺寸、带负电的表面和水下疏油性,并且还获得了高的水通量和耐油污染性。基于尺寸筛分和破乳效应,该复合膜可有效地去除分散在水包油乳液中由非离子、阴离子和阳离子表面活性剂稳定的纳米油滴。特别是对于离子型乳液,在分离后动态光散射未检测出残留液滴。滤液中总有机碳含量小于10 ppm,对应着大于99.9%的分离效率,优于许多国家和组织的标准。在各种乳液的分离过程中,复合膜表现出较高的分离渗透性,约为原始骨架膜的3.5倍。此外,具有防污效果的复合膜获得了较高的通量回收率,通过简单的水洗处理即可实现5次具有稳定分离性能的循环。该复合膜在重复使用过程中没有组分损失,在150℃内具有热稳定性,并能抵抗腐蚀性化学环境。在本工作中,我们试图将具有不同结构特性和表面特性的两种组分结合,通过简单的方法制备复合膜,并在功能协同作用下实现水包油型纳米乳液的高性能分离。

Clinical characteristics of acute non-varicose upper gastrointestinal bleeding and the effect of endoscopic hemostasis

BACKGROUND Acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding(ANVUGIB)constitutes a prevalent emergency within Gastroenterology,encompassing 80%-90%of all gastrointestinal hemorrhage incidents.This condition is distinguished by its abrupt onset,swift progression,and notably elevated mortality rate.AIM To gather clinical data from patients with ANVUGIB at our hospital in order to elucidate the clinical characteristics specific to our institution and analyze the therapeutic effectiveness of endoscopic hemostasis.METHODS We retrospectively retrieved the records of 532 patients diagnosed with ANVUGIB by endoscopy at our hospital between March 2021 and March 2023,utilizing our medical record system.Data pertaining to general patient information,etiological factors,disease outcomes,and other relevant variables were meticulously collected and analyzed.RESULTS Among the 532 patients diagnosed with ANVUGIB,the male-to-female ratio was 2.91:1,with a higher prevalence among males.Notably,43.6%of patients presented with black stool as their primary complaint,while 27.4%had hematemesis as their initial symptom.Upon admission,17%of patients exhibited both hematemesis and black stool,while most ANVUGIB patients primarily complained of overt gastrointestinal bleeding.Urgent routine blood examinations at admission revealed that 75.8%of patients had anemia,with 63.4%experiencing moderate to severe anemia,and 1.5%having extremely severe anemia(hemoglobin<30 g/L).With regard to etiology,53.2%of patients experienced bleeding without a definitive trigger,24.2%had a history of using gastric mucosa-irritating medications,24.2%developed bleeding after alcohol consumption,2.8%attributed it to improper diet,1.7%to emotional excitement,and 2.3%to fatigue preceding the bleeding episode.Drug-induced ANVUGIB was more prevalent in the elderly than middle-aged and young individuals,while bleeding due to alcohol consumption showed the opposite trend.Additionally,diet-related bleeding was more common among the young age group compared to the middle-aged group.Gastrointestinal endoscopy identified peptic ulcers as the most frequent cause of ANVUGIB(73.3%),followed by gastrointestinal malignancies(10.9%),acute gastric mucous lesions(9.8%),and androgenic upper gastrointestinal bleeding(1.5%)among inpatients with ANVUGIB.Of the 532 patients with gastrointestinal bleeding,68 underwent endoscopic hemostasis,resulting in an endoscopic treatment rate of 12.8%,with a high immediate hemostasis success rate of 94.1%.

Heat transfer enhanced inorganic phase change material compositing carbon nanotubes for battery thermal management and thermal runaway propagation mitigation

Developing technologies that can be applied simultaneously in battery thermal management(BTM)and thermal runaway(TR)mitigation is significant to improving the safety of lithium-ion battery systems.Inorganic phase change material(PCM)with nonflammability has the potential to achieve this dual function.This study proposed an encapsulated inorganic phase change material(EPCM)with a heat transfer enhancement for battery systems,where Na_(2)HPO_(4)·12H_(2)O was used as the core PCM encapsulated by silica and the additive of carbon nanotube(CNT)was applied to enhance the thermal conductivity.The microstructure and thermal properties of the EPCM/CNT were analyzed by a series of characterization tests.Two different incorporating methods of CNT were compared and the proper CNT adding amount was also studied.After preparation,the battery thermal management performance and TR propagation mitigation effects of EPCM/CNT were further investigated on the battery modules.The experimental results of thermal management tests showed that EPCM/CNT not only slowed down the temperature rising of the module but also improved the temperature uniformity during normal operation.The peak battery temperature decreased from 76℃to 61.2℃at 2 C discharge rate and the temperature difference was controlled below 3℃.Moreover,the results of TR propagation tests demonstrated that nonflammable EPCM/CNT with good heat absorption could work as a TR barrier,which exhibited effective mitigation on TR and TR propagation.The trigger time of three cells was successfully delayed by 129,474 and 551 s,respectively and the propagation intervals were greatly extended as well.

Dendroclimatological study of Sabina saltuaria and Abies faxoniana in the mixed forests of the Qionglai Mountains,eastern Tibetan Plateau

Tree-ring chronologies were developed for Sabina saltuaria and Abies faxoniana in mixed forests in the Qionglai Mountains of the eastern Tibetan Plateau.Climate-growth relationship analysis indicated that the two co-exist-ing species reponded similarly to climate factors,although S.saltuaria was more sensitive than A.faxoniana.The strong-est correlation was between S.saltuaria chronology and regional mean temperatures from June to November.Based on this relationship,a regional mean temperature from June to November for the period 1605-2016 was constructed.Reconstruction explained 37.3%of the temperature variance during th period 1961-2016.Six major warm periods and five major cold periods were identified.Spectral analysis detected significant interannual and multi-decadal cycles.Reconstruction also revealed the influence of the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation,confirming its importance on climate change on the eastern Tibetan Plateau.

A benchmark experiment on^(238)U slab samples was conducted using a deuterium-tritium neutron source at the China Institute of Atomic Energy.The leakage neutron spectra within energy levels of 0.8-16 MeV at 60°and 120°were measured using the time-of-flight method.The samples were prepared as rectangular slabs with a 30 cm square base and thicknesses of 3,6,and 9 cm.The leakage neutron spectra were also calculated using the MCNP-4C program based on the latest evaluated files of^(238)U evaluated neutron data from CENDL-3.2,ENDF/B-Ⅷ.0,JENDL-5.0,and JEFF-3.3.Based on the comparison,the deficiencies and improvements in^(238)U evaluated nuclear data were analyzed.The results showed the following.(1)The calculated results for CENDL-3.2 significantly overestimated the measurements in the energy interval of elastic scattering at 60°and 120°.(2)The calculated results of CENDL-3.2 overestimated the measurements in the energy interval of inelastic scattering at 120°.(3)The calculated results for CENDL-3.2 significantly overestimated the measurements in the 3-8.5 MeV energy interval at 60°and 120°.(4)The calculated results with JENDL-5.0 were generally consistent with the measurement results.

Hypidone hydrochloride(YL-0919)ameliorates functional deficits after traumatic brain injury in mice by activating the sigma-1 receptor for antioxidation

Traumatic brain injury involves complex pathophysiological mechanisms,among which oxidative stress significantly contributes to the occurrence of secondary injury.In this study,we evaluated hypidone hydrochloride(YL-0919),a self-developed antidepressant with selective sigma-1 receptor agonist properties,and its associated mechanisms and targets in traumatic brain injury.Behavioral experiments to assess functional deficits were followed by assessment of neuronal damage through histological analyses and examination of blood-brain barrier permeability and brain edema.Next,we investigated the antioxidative effects of YL-0919 by assessing the levels of traditional markers of oxidative stress in vivo in mice and in vitro in HT22 cells.Finally,the targeted action of YL-0919 was verified by employing a sigma-1 receptor antagonist(BD-1047).Our findings demonstrated that YL-0919 markedly improved deficits in motor function and spatial cognition on day 3 post traumatic brain injury,while also decreasing neuronal mortality and reversing blood-brain barrier disruption and brain edema.Furthermore,YL-0919 effectively combated oxidative stress both in vivo and in vitro.The protective effects of YL-0919 were partially inhibited by BD-1047.These results indicated that YL-0919 relieved impairments in motor and spatial cognition by restraining oxidative stress,a neuroprotective effect that was partially reversed by the sigma-1 receptor antagonist BD-1047.YL-0919 may have potential as a new treatment for traumatic brain injury.

Modeling and Validation of Diamagnetic Rotor Levitated by Permanent Magnetics

As an innovative,low-power consuming,and low-stiffness suspension approach,the diamagnetic levitation technique has attracted considerable interest because of its potential applicability in miniaturized mechanical systems.The foundation of a diamagnetic levitation system is mathematical modeling,which is essential for operating performance optimization and stability prediction.However,few studies on systematic mathematical modeling have been reported.In this study,a systematic mathematical model for a disc-shaped diamagnetically levitated rotor on a permanent magnet array is proposed.Based on the proposed model,the magnetic field distribution characteristics,diamagnetic levitation force characteristics(i.e.,levitation height and stiffness),and optimized theoretical conditions for realizing stable levitation are determined.Experiments are conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed mathematical model.Theoretical predictions and experimental results indicate that increasing the levitation height enlarges the stable region.Moreover,with a further increase in the rotor radius,the stable regions of the rotor gradually diminish and even vanish.Thus,when the levitation height is fixed,a moderate rotor radius permits stable levitation.This study proposes a mathematical modeling method for a diamagnetic levitation system that has potential applications in miniaturized mechanical systems.

Identification of P-type plasma membrane H^(+)-ATPases in common wheat and characterization of TaHA7 associated with seed dormancy and germination

The P-type plasma membrane(PM)H^(+)-ATPases(HAs)are crucial for plant development,growth,and defense.The HAs have been thoroughly characterized in many different plants.However,despite their importance,the functions of HAs in germination and seed dormancy(SD)have not been validated in wheat.Here,we identified 28 TaHA genes(TaHA1-28)in common wheat,which were divided into five subfamilies.An examination of gene expression in strong-and weak-SD wheat varieties led to the discovery of six candidate genes(TaHA7/-12/-14/-16/-18/-20).Based on a single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)mutation(C/T)in the TaHA7 coding region,a CAPS marker(HA7)was developed and validated in 168 wheat varieties and 171 Chinese mini-core collections that exhibit diverse germination and SD phenotypes.We further verified the roles of the two allelic variations of TaHA7 in germination and SD using wheat mutants mutagenized with ethyl methane sulphonate(EMS)in‘Jimai 22’and‘Jing 411’backgrounds,and in transgenic Arabidopsis lines.TaHA7 appears to regulate germination and SD by mediating gibberellic acid(GA)and abscisic acid(ABA)signaling,metabolism,and biosynthesis.The results presented here will enable future research regarding the TaHAs in wheat.

Design method of extractant for liquid-liquid extraction based on elements and chemical bonds

In the petrochemical industry process, the relative volatility between the components to be separated is close to one or the azeotrope that systems are difficult to separate. Liquid-liquid extraction is a common and effective separation method, and selecting an extraction agent is the key to extraction technology research. In this paper, a design method of extractants based on elements and chemical bonds was proposed. A knowledge-based molecular design method was adopted to pre-select elements and chemical bond groups. The molecules were automatically synthesized according to specific combination rules to avoid the problem of “combination explosion” of molecules. The target properties of the extractant were set, and the extractant meeting the requirements was selected by predicting the correlation physical properties of the generated molecules. Based on the separation performance of the extractant in liquid-liquid extraction and the relative importance of each index, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation membership function was established, the analytic hierarchy process determined the mass ratio of each index, and the consistency test results were passed. The results of case study based on quantum chemical analysis demonstrated that effective determination of extractants for the analysis of benzene-cyclohexane systems. The results unanimously prove that the method has important theoretical significance and application value.

Complete kinetic model for esterification reaction of lauric acid with glycerol to synthesize glycerol monolaurate

Glycerol monolaurate(GML)is a widely used industrial chemical with excellent emulsification and antibacterial effect.The direct esterification of glycerol with lauric acid is the main method to synthesize GML.In this work,the kinetic process of direct esterification was systematically studied using p-toluenesulfonic acid as catalyst.A complete kinetic model of consecutive esterification reaction has been established,and the kinetic equation of acid catalysis was deduced.The isomerization reactions of GML and glycerol dilaurate were investigated.It was found that the reaction was an equilibrium reaction and the reaction rate was faster than the esterification reaction.The kinetic equations of the consecutive esterification reaction were obtained by experiments as k_(1)=(276+92261Xcat)exp(-37720/RT)and k_(2)=(80+4413Xcat)exp(-32240/RT).The kinetic results are beneficial to the optimization of operating conditions and reactor design in GML production process.

A personalized electronic textile for ultrasensitive pressure sensing enabled by biocompatible MXene/ PEDOT:PSS composite

Flexible,breathable,and highly sensitive pressure sensors have increasingly become a focal point of interest due to their pivotal role in healthcare monitoring,advanced electronic skin applications,and disease diagnosis.However,traditional methods,involving elastomer film-based substrates or encapsulation techniques,often fall short due to mechanical mismatches,discomfort,lack of breathability,and limitations in sensing abilities.Consequently,there is a pressing need,yet it remains a significant challenge to create pressure sensors that are not only highly breathable,flexible,and comfortable but also sensitive,durable,and biocompatible.Herein,we present a biocompatible and breathable fabric-based pressure sensor,using nonwoven fabrics as both the sensing electrode(coated with MXene/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate[PEDOT:PSS])and the interdigitated electrode(printed with MXene pattern)via a scalable spray-coating and screen-coating technique.The resultant device exhibits commendable air permeability,biocompatibility,and pressure sensing performance,including a remarkable sensitivity(754.5 kPa^(−1)),rapid response/recovery time(180/110 ms),and robust cycling stability.Furthermore,the integration of PEDOT:PSS plays a crucial role in protecting the MXene nanosheets from oxidation,significantly enhancing the device's long-term durability.These outstanding features make this sensor highly suitable for applications in fullrange human activities detection and disease diagnosis.Our study underscores the promising future of flexible pressure sensors in the realm of intelligent wearable electronics,setting a new benchmark for the industry.

Nondestructive technique for identifying nuclides using neutron resonance transmission analysis at CSNS Back-n

Nondestructive and noninvasive neutron assays are essential applications of neutron techniques.Neutron resonance transmission analysis(NRTA)is a powerful nondestructive method for investigating the elemental composition of an object.The back-streaming neutron line(Back-n)is a newly built time-of-flight facility at the China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS)that provides neutrons in the eV to 300 MeV range.A feasibility study of the NRTA method for nuclide identification was conducted at the CSNS Back-n via two test experiments.The results demonstrate that it is feasible to identify different elements and isotopes in samples using the NRTA method at Back-n.This study reveals its potential future applications.

Lamellar water induced quantized interlayer spacing of nanochannels walls

The nanoscale confinement is of great important for the industrial applications of molecular sieve,desalination,and also essential in bio-logical transport systems.Massive efforts have been devoted to the influence of restricted spaces on the properties of confined fluids.However,the situation of channel-wall is crucial but attracts less attention and remains unknown.To fundamentally understand the mechanism of channel-walls in nanoconfinement,we investigated the interaction between the counter-force of the liquid and interlamellar spacing of nanochannel walls by considering the effect of both spatial confinement and surface wettability.The results reveal that the nanochannel stables at only a few discrete spacing states when its confinement is within 1.4 nm.The quantized interlayer spacing is attributed to water molecules becoming laminated structures,and the stable states are corresponding to the monolayer,bilayer and trilayer water configurations,respectively.The results can potentially help to understand the characterized interlayers spacing of graphene oxide membrane in water.Our findings are hold great promise in design of ion filtration membrane and artificial water/ion channels.

Knockdown of fibrillin-1 suppresses retina-blood barrier dysfunction by inhibiting vascular endothelial apoptosis under diabetic conditions

AIM:To investigate the effects of fibrillin-1(FBN1)deletion on the integrity of retina-blood barrier function and the apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells under diabetic conditions.METHODS:Streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic mice were used to simulate the diabetic conditions of diabetic retinopathy(DR)patients,and FBN1 expression was detected in retinas from STZ-diabetic mice and controls.In the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,the GSE60436 dataset was selected to analyze FBN1 expressions in fibrovascular membranes from DR patients.Using lentivirus to knock down FBN1 levels,vascular leakage and endothelial barrier integrity were detected by Evans blue vascular permeability assay,fluorescein fundus angiography(FFA)and immunofluorescence labeled with tight junction marker in vivo.High glucose-induced monkey retinal vascular endothelial cells(RF/6A)were used to investigate effects of FBN1 on the cells in vitro.The vascular endothelial barrier integrity and apoptosis were detected by trans-endothelial electrical resistance(TEER)assay and flow cytometry,respectively.RESULTS:FBN1 mRNA expression was increased in retinas of STZ-induced diabetic mice and fibrovascular membranes of DR patients(GSE60436 datasets)using RNA-seq approach.Besides,knocking down of FBN1 by lentivirus intravitreal injection significantly inhibited the vascular leakage compared to STZ-DR group by Evans blue vascular permeability assay and FFA detection.Expressions of tight junction markers in STZ-DR mouse retinas were lower than those in the control group,and knocking down of FBN1 increased the tight junction levels.In vitro,30 mmol/L glucose could significantly inhibit viability of RF/6A cells,and FBN1 mRNA expression was increased under 30 mmol/L glucose stimulation.Down-regulation of FBN1 reduced high glucose(HG)-stimulated retinal microvascular endothelial cell permeability,increased TEER,and inhibited RF/6A cell apoptosis in vitro.CONCLUSION:The expression level of FBN1 increases in retinas and vascular endothelial cells under diabetic conditions.Down-regulation of FBN1 protects the retina of early diabetic rats from retina-blood barrier damage,reduce vascular leakage,cell apoptosis,and maintain vascular endothelial cell barrier function.

Decadal Changes in Dry and Wet Heatwaves in Eastern China:Spatial Patterns and Risk Assessment

Under global warming,understanding the long-term variation in different types of heatwaves is vital for China’s preparedness against escalating heat stress.This study investigates dry and wet heatwave shifts in eastern China over recent decades.Spatial trend analysis displays pronounced warming in inland midlatitudes and the Yangtze River Valley,with increased humidity in coastal regions.EOF results indicate intensifying dry heatwaves in northern China,while the Yangtze River Valley sees more frequent dry heatwaves.On the other hand,Indochina and regions north of 25°N also experience intensified wet heatwaves,corresponding to regional humidity increases.Composite analysis is conducted based on different situations:strong,frequent dry or wet heatwaves.Strong dry heatwaves are influenced by anticyclonic circulations over northern China,accompanied by warming SST anomalies around the coastal midlatitudes of the western North Pacific(WNP).Frequent dry heatwaves are related to strong subsidence along with a strengthened subtropical high over the WNP.Strong and frequent wet heatwaves show an intensified Okhotsk high at higher latitudes in the lower troposphere,and a negative circumglobal teleconnection wave train pattern in the upper troposphere.Decaying El Niño SST patterns are observed in two kinds of wet heatwave and frequent dry heatwave years.Risk analysis indicates that El Niño events heighten the likelihood of these heatwaves in regions most at risk.As global warming continues,adapting and implementing mitigation strategies toward extreme heatwaves becomes crucial,especially for the aforementioned regions under significant heat stress.
