Located in the outermost layers, the primary structures and components responsible for the skin’s barrier function are susceptible to environmental variables, dermatological conditions, and the aging process. The ensuing alterations to structure, composition, and organizational attributes of the epidermal barrier can impact its integrity and functionality. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a novel complex composed of a ceramide, energizing peptide, and Camu Camu extract (SUPCERAT<sup>TM</sup> complex) on specific markers of epidermal barrier integrity, as well as epidermal and dermal function. All the experiments were conducted on fresh human abdominal skin explants. Intradermal production of hyaluronic acid, epidermal claudin-1, and ceramide synthase 3 expressions, as well as epidermal lipids content were assessed using specific fluorescent stainings on ex vivo skin after the application of the complex or placebo. Additionally, dermal elastase and collagenase activities were assessed using in tubo enzymatic assays. Lastly, the effect of a cosmetic cream containing SUPCERAT<sup>TM</sup> complex was assessed using subjective Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) in a small cohort of patients after 60 days of use. The application of the SUPCERAT<sup>TM</sup> complex on ex vivo skin led to significant increase in dermal hyaluronic acid content and epidermal activity of claudin-1, ceramide synthase 3 and epidermal ceramide content. Furthermore, in tubo enzymatic assays demonstrated inhibition of both dermal elastase and collagenase activities. In addition, the patient-reported results indicated significant improvements in skin quality and appearance. .展开更多

文摘During storage at 20℃,specific pear cultivars may exhibit a greasy texture and decline in quality due to fruit senescence.Among these varieties,‘Yuluxiang’is particularly susceptible to peel greasiness,resulting in significant economic losses.Therefore,there is an urgent need for a preservative that can effectively inhibit the development of greasiness.Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP)in extending the storage period of fruits.We hypothesize that it may also influence the occurrence of postharvest peel greasiness in the‘Yuluxiang’pears.In this study,we treated‘Yuluxiang’pears with 1-MCP.We stored them at 20℃while analyzing the composition and morphology of the surface waxes,recording enzyme activities related to wax synthesis,and measuring indicators associated with fruit storage quality and physiological characteristics.The results demonstrate that prolonged storage at 20℃leads to a rapid increase in skin greasiness,consistent with the observed elevations in L^(*),greasiness score,and the content of total wax and greasy wax components.Moreover,there were indications that cuticular waxes underwent melting,resulting in the formation of an amorphous structure.In comparison to controls,the application of 1-MCP significantly inhibited increments in L^(*) values as well as grease scores while also reducing accumulation rates for oily waxes throughout most stages over its shelf period,additionally delaying transitions from flaky-wax structures towards their amorphous counterparts.During the initial 7 d of storage,several enzymes involved in the biosynthesis and metabolism of greasy wax components,including lipoxygenase(LOX),phospholipase D(PLD),andβ-ketoacyl-CoA synthase(KCS),exhibited an increase followed by a subsequent decline.The activity of LOX during early shelf life(0–7 d)and the KCS activity during middle to late shelf life(14–21 d)were significantly suppressed by 1-MCP.Additionally,1-MCP effectively maintained firmness,total soluble solid(TSS)and titratable acid(TA)contents,peroxidase(POD),and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase(PAL)activities while inhibiting vitamin C degradation and weight loss.Furthermore,it restrained polyphenol oxidase(PPO)activity,ethylene production,and respiration rate increase.These findings demonstrate that 1-MCP not only delays the onset of peel greasiness but also preserves the overall storage quality of‘Yuluxiang’pear at a temperature of 20℃.This study presents a novel approach for developing new preservatives to inhibit pear fruit peel greasiness and provides a theoretical foundation for further research on pear fruit preservation.

文摘Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are widely used in describing open systems with gain and loss,among which a key phenomenon is the non-Hermitian skin effect.Here we report an experimental scheme to realize a twodimensional(2D)discrete-time quantum walk with non-Hermitian skin effect in a single trapped ion.It is shown that the coin and 2D walker states can be labeled in the spin of the ion and the coherent-state lattice of the ion motion,respectively.We numerically observe a directional bulk flow,whose orientations are controlled by dissipative parameters,showing the emergence of the non-Hermitian skin effect.We then discuss an experimental implementation of our scheme in a laser-controlled trapped Ca^(+)ion.Our experimental proposal may be applicable to research of dissipative quantum walk systems and may be able to generalize to other platforms,such as superconducting circuits and atoms in cavity.

文摘Non-enzymatic glycation reaction in food can produce diet-derived advanced glycation end products(dAGEs),which have potential health risks.Thus,it is of great significance to find efficient substances to improve the negative effects induced by dAGEs on human health.This study investigated the intervening effects of peanut skin procyanidins(PSP)on the dAGEs-induced oxidative stress and systemic inflammation in experimental mice model.Results showed that the accumulation of AGEs in serum,liver,and kidney was significantly increased after mice were fed dAGEs(P<0.05).The expression of advanced glycation product receptor(RAGE)was also significantly increased in liver and kidney(P<0.05).PSP could not only effectively reduce the accumulation of AGEs in serum,liver and kidney of mice,but also reduce the expression of RAGE in liver and kidney of mice.And the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α),and IL-1βin serum of mice were significantly decreased(P<0.05),while the levels of antiinflammatory factor IL-10 were increased,and the inflammatory injury in mice was improved.In addition,the levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione(GSH),catalase(CAT)in liver and kidney of mice were increased(P<0.05),and the level of malondialdehyde(MDA)was decreased(P<0.05),which enhanced the antioxidant capacity of mice in vivo,and improved the oxidative damage of liver and kidney.Molecular docking technique was used to confirm that the parent compound of procyanidins and its main metabolites,such as 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid,could interact with RAGE,which might inhibit the activation of nuclear transcription factor(NF-κB),and ultimately reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in mice.

文摘Neutron skin is an exotic phenomenon that occurs in unstable nuclei.In this study,the various efects of the neutron skin on nuclear reactions and their relationship with the properties of nuclear structures are reviewed.Based on numerous studies using theoretical models,strong correlations have been found between the neutron skin thickness and the neutron removal cross section,neutron/proton yield ratio,t∕3He yield ratio,neutron-proton momentum diference,isoscaling parameter,photon production,reaction cross sections for neutron-induced reactions,charge-changing cross-sectional diferences of mirror nuclei,astrophysical S-factor,and other quantities in nuclear reactions induced by neutron-rich nuclei.Moreover,the relationships between the neutron skin thickness and certain properties of the nuclear structure,such asα-cluster formation,αdecay,nuclear surface,nuclear temperature,and proton radii diference of mirror nuclei,have also been investigated.Furthermore,it has also been shown that the neutron skin plays a crucial role in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.Experimentally,an unstable nucleus with a neutron skin can be generated by radioactive nuclear beam facilities,and the thickness of the neutron skin can be extracted by measuring the sensitive probes,which further helps impose stringent constraints on the equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter and the properties of neutron stars.

文摘The skin’s primary function is to protect the body against a spectrum of environmental stressors, including mechanical insults, microorganisms, chemicals, and allergens. Located in the outermost layers, the primary structures and components responsible for the skin’s barrier function are susceptible to environmental variables, dermatological conditions, and the aging process. The ensuing alterations to structure, composition, and organizational attributes of the epidermal barrier can impact its integrity and functionality. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a novel complex composed of a ceramide, energizing peptide, and Camu Camu extract (SUPCERAT<sup>TM</sup> complex) on specific markers of epidermal barrier integrity, as well as epidermal and dermal function. All the experiments were conducted on fresh human abdominal skin explants. Intradermal production of hyaluronic acid, epidermal claudin-1, and ceramide synthase 3 expressions, as well as epidermal lipids content were assessed using specific fluorescent stainings on ex vivo skin after the application of the complex or placebo. Additionally, dermal elastase and collagenase activities were assessed using in tubo enzymatic assays. Lastly, the effect of a cosmetic cream containing SUPCERAT<sup>TM</sup> complex was assessed using subjective Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) in a small cohort of patients after 60 days of use. The application of the SUPCERAT<sup>TM</sup> complex on ex vivo skin led to significant increase in dermal hyaluronic acid content and epidermal activity of claudin-1, ceramide synthase 3 and epidermal ceramide content. Furthermore, in tubo enzymatic assays demonstrated inhibition of both dermal elastase and collagenase activities. In addition, the patient-reported results indicated significant improvements in skin quality and appearance. .
文摘Lipids in stratum corneum are largely responsible for skin barrier function.There have been numerous studies on skin barrier repairing and moisturizing effects of products containing occlusives,emollients and humectants.However,currently there are few studies systematically evaluating effect of moisturizers containing endogenous lipids on skin barrier properties.The objective of this study was to study the effect of products containing endogenous lipids on various barrier-related indicators.A total 89 subjects with dry skin were enrolled.To evaluate the effect of the test products on skin barrier function and hydration after 28 days of use on the face,this study combined clinical assessments of skin condition(skin redness,global appearance of dry line,skin roughness and radiance),instrumental assessments(transepidermal water loss,skin hydration and scaliness)and photo tracking(VISIA-CR,VC20 and 3D in-vivo Reflectance Confocal Microscope).Adverse reactions were also assessed.All test products showed significant improvement in all the attributes assessed by both clinical assessments and instrumental assessments after 28 days of treatment.In addition,the products containing skinidentical ceramides and niacinamide show improvement on TEWL and skin hydration.Two products containing exogenous lipids can improve skin hydration and barrier function which have demonstrated efficacy in improving dry skin condition.
文摘Over the last decade,the rapid advances of life sciences have significantly increased public awareness and comprehension of dermatological knowledge,resulting in widespread acceptance of scientific skincare in society.The scope of photoprotection has expanded to encompass not only ultraviolet radiation but also visible light(including blue light).Furthermore,photoprotection methods have evolved from light blocking to the repair of cellular damage caused by prolonged light exposure via biological signaling pathways.Blue light(BL)is the portion of sunlight between 400 nm(violet)and 500 nm(cyan),that can penetrate deep into biological tissues,with up to 20%reaching subcutaneous tissues.Similar to UV damage,BL can cause oxidative stress,persistent pigmentation,and extracellular matrix degradation,resulting in skin symptoms such as hyperpigmentation,dullness,lack of radiance,uneven skin tone,and wrinkles.This study investigates the clinical manifestations of BL-induced skin photodamages,as well as the underlying biological mechanisms and proposes rational photoaging prevention strategies.

文摘BACKGROUND Skin wounds are highly common in diabetic patients,and with increasing types of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotic resistance,wounds and infections in diabetic patients are difficult to treat and heal.AIM To explore the effects of betaine ointment(BO)in promoting the healing of skin wounds and reducing the inflammation and apoptosis of skin cells in microbially infected diabetic mice.METHODS By detecting the minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs)of betaine and plant monomer components such as psoralen,we prepared BO with betaine as the main ingredient,blended it with traditional Chinese medicines such as gromwell root and psoralen,and evaluated its antibacterial effects and safety in vitro and in vivo.The skin infection wound models of ordinary mice and diabetic mice were constructed,and the OTC drugs mupirocin ointment and Zicao ointment were used as controls to evaluate the antibacterial effects in vivo and the anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects of BO.RESULTS The MICs of betaine against microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus),Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans ranged from 4 to 32μg/mL.Gromwell root and psoralea,both of which contain antimicrobial components,mixed to prepare BO with MICs ranging from 16 to 64μg/mL,which is 32-256 times lower than those of Zicao ointment,although the MIC is greater than that of betaine.After 15 days of treatment with BO for USA300-infected ordinary mice,the wound scab removal rates were 83.3%,while those of mupirocin ointment and Zicao ointment were 66.7%and 0%,respectively,and the differences were statistically significant.In diabetic mice,the wound scab removal rate of BO and mupirolacin ointment was 80.0%,but BO reduced wound inflammation and the apoptosis of skin cells and facilitated wound healing.CONCLUSION The ointment prepared by mixing betaine and traditional Chinese medicine can effectively inhibit common skin microorganisms and has a strong effect on the skin wounds of sensitive or drug-resistant S.aureus-infected ordinary mice and diabetic mice.

文摘Low-electrode capacitive deionization(FCDI)is an emerging desalination technology with great potential for removal and/or recycling ions from a range of waters.However,it still suffers from inefficient charge transfer and ion transport kinetics due to weak turbulence and low electric intensity in flow electrodes,both restricted by the current collectors.Herein,a new tip-array current collector(designated as T-CC)was developed to replace the conventional planar current collectors,which intensifies both the charge transfer and ion transport significantly.The effects of tip arrays on flow and electric fields were studied by both computational simulations and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,which revealed the reduction of ion transport barrier,charge transport barrier and internal resistance.With the voltage increased from 1.0 to 1.5 and 2.0 V,the T-CC-based FCDI system(T-FCDI)exhibited average salt removal rates(ASRR)of 0.18,0.50,and 0.89μmol cm^(-2) min^(-1),respectively,which are 1.82,2.65,and 2.48 folds higher than that of the conventional serpentine current collectors,and 1.48,1.67,and 1.49 folds higher than that of the planar current collectors.Meanwhile,with the solid content in flow electrodes increased from 1 to 5 wt%,the ASRR for T-FCDI increased from 0.29 to 0.50μmol cm^(-2) min^(-1),which are 1.70 and 1.67 folds higher than that of the planar current collectors.Additionally,a salt removal efficiency of 99.89%was achieved with T-FCDI and the charge efficiency remained above 95%after 24 h of operation,thus showing its superior long-term stability.
文摘Excellent progress has been made in the last few decades in the cure rates of pediatric malignancies,with more than 80%of children with cancer who have access to contemporary treatment being cured.However,the therapies responsible for this survival can also produce adverse physical and psychological long-term outcomes,referred to as late effects,which appear months to years after the completion of cancer treatment.Research has shown that 60%to 90%of childhood cancer survivors(CCSs)develop one or more chronic health conditions,and 20%to 80%of survivors experience severe or life-threatening complications during adulthood.Therefore,understanding the late side effects of such treatments is important to improve the health and quality of life of the growing population of CCSs.
文摘BACKGROUND Bullous pemphigoid(BP)is an autoimmune blistering skin disorder.It is associated with other autoimmune disorders and the use of certain drugs.We describe a case of BP in a patient with ulcerative colitis(UC)treated with mesalamine.CASE SUMMARY A 38-year-old male patient with UC and a history of multiple flares was maintained on mesalamine with good clinical response.One year after starting mesalamine,he sought medical care following the onset of a severe itchy rash of several weeks’duration with a recent appearance of skin bullae.A biopsy of the skin revealed subepidermal blistering dermatitis with focal eosinophilic spongiosis.Direct immunofluorescence studies revealed linear IgG and C3 immune reactant deposits at the dermoepidermal junction,consistent with the diagnosis of BP.Prednisone therapy alleviated his symptoms.However,tapering prednisone led to re-eruption of the bullae.CONCLUSION BP should be considered when patients with UC develop skin manifestations.Although BP is not one of the extraintestinal manifestations of UC,there may be an association between these two conditions.Whether treatment with mesalamine or other therapeutic agents plays a role in the development of BP remains unclear.

文摘The microstructural evolution of a cold-rolled and intercritical annealed medium-Mn steel(Fe-0.10C-5Mn)was investigated during uniaxial tensile testing.In-situ observations under scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and X-ray diffraction analysis were conducted to characterize the progressive transformation-induced plasticity process and associated fracture initiation mechanisms.These findings were discussed with the local strain measurements via digital image correlation.The results indicated that Lüders band formation in the steel was limited to 1.5%strain,which was mainly due to the early-stage martensitic phase transformation of a very small amount of the less stable large-sized retained austenite(RA),which led to localized stress concentrations and strain hardening and further retardation of yielding.The small-sized RA exhibited high stability and progressively transformed into martensite and contributed to a stably extended Portevin-Le Chatelier effect.The volume fraction of RA gradually decreased from 26.8%to 8.2%prior to fracture.In the late deformation stage,fracture initiation primarily occurred at the austenite/martensite and ferrite/martensite interfaces and the ferrite phase.

文摘van der Waals(vdW)heterostructures constructed by lowdimensional(0D,1D,and 2D)materials are emerging as one of the most appealing systems in next-generation flexible photodetection.Currently,hand-stacked vdW-type photodetectors are not compatible with large-areaarray fabrication and show unimpressive performance in self-powered mode.Herein,vertical 1D GaN nanorods arrays(NRAs)/2D MoS_(2)/PEDOT:PSS in wafer scale have been proposed for self-powered flexible photodetectors arrays firstly.The as-integrated device without external bias under weak UV illumination exhibits a competitive responsivity of 1.47 A W^(−1)and a high detectivity of 1.2×10^(11)Jones,as well as a fast response speed of 54/71μs,thanks to the strong light absorption of GaN NRAs and the efficient photogenerated carrier separation in type-II heterojunction.Notably,the strain-tunable photodetection performances of device have been demonstrated.Impressively,the device at−0.78%strain and zero bias reveals a significantly enhanced photoresponse with a responsivity of 2.47 A W^(−1),a detectivity of 2.6×10^(11)Jones,and response times of 40/45μs,which are superior to the state-of-the-art self-powered flexible photodetectors.This work presents a valuable avenue to prepare tunable vdWs heterostructures for self-powered flexible photodetection,which performs well in flexible sensors.
文摘The highly selective catalytic hydrogenation of halogenated nitroaromatics was achieved by employing Pd‑based catalysts that were co‑modified with organic and inorganic ligands.It was demonstrated that the catalysts contained Pd species in mixed valence states,with high valence Pd at the metal‑support interface and zero valence Pd at the metal surface.While the strong coordination of triphenylphosphine(PPh3)to Pd0 on the Pd surface prevents the adsorption of halogenated nitroaromatics and thus dehalogenation,the coordination of sodium metavanadate(NaVO3)to high‑valence Pd sites at the interface helps to activate H2 in a heterolytic pathway for the selective hydrogenation of nitro‑groups.The excellent catalytic performance of the interfacial active sites enables the selective hydrogenation of a wide range of halogenated nitroaromatics.
