Sphingosine-1-phosphate hinders the osteogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells in association with AKT signaling pathways

Sphingosine-1-phosphate(S1P)is an important lipid mediator that regulates a diverse range of intracellular cell signaling pathways that are relevant to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.However,the precise function of S1P in dental pulp stem cells(DPSCs)and its osteogenic differentiation remains unclear.We here investigated the function of S1P/S1P receptor(S1PR)-mediated cellular signaling in the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs and clarified the fundamental signaling pathway.Our results showed that S1P-treated DPSCs exhibited a low rate of differentiation toward the osteogenic phenotype in association with a marked reduction in osteogenesis-related gene expression and AKT activation.Of note,both S1PR1/S1PR3 and S1PR2 agonists significantly downregulated the expression of osteogenic genes and suppressed AKT activation,resulting in an attenuated osteogenic capacity of DPSCs.Most importantly,an AKT activator completely abrogated the S1P-mediated downregulation of osteoblastic markers and partially prevented S1P-mediated attenuation effects during osteogenesis.Intriguingly,the pro-inflammatory TNF-αcytokine promoted the infiltration of macrophages toward DPSCs and induced S1P production in both DPSCs and macrophages.Our findings indicate that the elevation of S1P under inflammatory conditions suppresses the osteogenic capacity of the DPSCs responsible for regenerative endodontics.

EFFECTS OF MOLECULE AGGREGATION STATE OF HINDERED PHENOL ON DYNAMIC MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CHLORINATED POLYETHYLENE

Hindered phenol compound 3,9-bis{1,1-dimethyl-2[β-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)propionyloxy]ethyl}- 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]-undecane (AO-80) is a polymorphous material with different physical structures. The initial AO- 80 is highly crystalline, whereas AO-80 obtained by cooling from its molten state is an amorphous material. Annealing treatment below the melting point of AO-80 results in structural development. The mixture of chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) and vitrified AO-80 particles exhibits a dramatic change in the dynamic mechanical properties during heat treatment at 130'C. This change can be attributed to the decomposition of the vitrified AO-80 particles and the hybridization of two constituents. The vitrified AO-80 particles can crystallize again in a CPE matrix by annealing at 100'C, but this crystal is different from that of the initial AO-80 in its microstructure. In addition, the incorporation of CPE chains caused a dramatic increase in the modulus. As a result, the AO-80 crystal particles that contain some CPE chains act as multifunctional cross- links and the CPE/AO-80 hybrid was found to be a new type of elastomer.

The influence of discharge style on the separation of coarse coal slime by a hindered fluidized bed

Two kinds of liquid distributor, a central discharge or a peripheral discharge, were designed into a hindered fluid- ized bed separator. The beneficiation performance of the fluidized bed was investigated using 0.25-1.00 mm coarse coal slime and the two different distributors. The experimental results show that the heterogeneity of axial particle velocity in the radial direction of the bed can be reduced by a distributor that has a central discharge. The beneficiation performance for this dis- tributor is improved relative to the distributor with the peripheral discharge. This indicates that it is necessary to eliminate or suppress the core-annulus structure within a hindered fluidized bed. Increasing superficial water velocity causes the clean coal ash content, the railings ash content, and the combustible recovery to increase. Additionally, increasing the bed height decreases all of these three indexes. The optimum superficial water velocity and bed height for a 0.25-1.00 mm coal feed were deter- mined to be 3 mm/s and 800 mm, respectively. This work provides a foundation for the scale-up of the bed.

SYNTHESES OF HINDERED ALKYL PHOSPHONATES AND PHOSPHONIC & PHOSPHINIC ACIDS

A series of di-n-hexyl alkyl phosphonates with bulky substituent on phosphorus was synthesized by PTC P-alkylation using crown ether.Upon saponification of the resulting di-n-hexyl alkylphosphonates in the presence of crown ether or quaternary ammonium halide, corresponding mono-hexyl esters of alkyl phosphonic acids were prepared.Ultrasonic wave, as we found, can catalyze the reaction between dialkyl phosphite & metallic sodium and hydrolysis of dihexyl alkyl phosphonates.A series of di-t-alkyl phosphinic acids were synthesized by the reaction of Grignard reagent with PCl_3 followed by oxidation with 30% H_2O_2.It was found that the reaction between dibutyl phosphite and Grignard reagent of t-alkyl chloride is a new synthetic method for the preparation of mono-esters of highly hindered alkyl phosphonic acids.

Investigation on UV-curing Reprocessable Thermosets Bearing Hindered Urea Bonds and Their Composites with Modified Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

In this study,a series of hindered urea bond(HUB)containing polyurethane-urea methacrylate prepolymers and a none HUB containing polyurethane methacrylate prepolymer were prepared using isobornyl methacrylate as the reactive diluent via one-pot procedure.The prepolymers were characterized fully by various techniques.Then,their thermosets were fabricated via UV curing in presence of a photo initiator,and their mechanical property and thermal behavior were investigated and compared.Different from the none HUB containing thermoset,the HUB containing thermosets(defined as PUT)could be recycled and reprocessed by hot press under relatively mild conditions with high recovery ratio of mechanical property.Furthermore,zinc oxide(ZnO)nanoparticles were modified with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate and the modified ZnO(defined as ZnO-TPM)was dispersed and polymerized into PUT matrix to prepare their nanocomposites.The influence of ZnO-TPM on the mechanical performance of the composites was evaluated,which indicated that the Young’s modulus and tensile strength increased gradually to the maximum values at ZnO-TPM content of 1 wt%and then decreased.The composites also displayed good reprocessability with improved recovery ratio compared to the pure PUT sample.In addition,the composite materials exhibited strong UV absorption capacity,implying their potential application in the circumstance where UV-shielding was required.

Pressure-Tuned Intrinsic Anomalous Hall Conductivity in Kagome Magnets RV_(6)Sn_(6)(R=Gd,Tb)

Exploration of exotic phenomena in magnetic topological systems is at the frontier of condensed matter physics,holding a significant promise for applications in topological spintronics.However,complex magnetic structures carrying nontrivial topological properties hinder its progresses.Here,we investigate the pressure effect on the novel topological kagome magnets GdV_(6)Sn_(6) and TbV_(6)Sn_(6) to dig out the interplay between magnetic Gd/Tb layers and nonmagnetic V-based kagome sublattice.The pressure-tuned magnetic transition temperature Tm in both the compounds exhibit a turning point at the critical pressure P_(c),accompanied with a sign reversal in anomalous Hall effect(AHE).The separation of intrinsic and extrinsic contributions using the Tian-Ye-Jin scaling model suggests that the intrinsic mechanism originating from the electronic Berry curvature holds the priority in the competition with extrinsic mechanism in AHE.The above-mentioned findings can be attributed to the combined effect of pressure-tuned band topology and magnetic interaction in segregated layers.Our results provide a practical route to design and manipulate the intrinsic AHE in magnetic topological materials.

Cell membrane vesicles derived from hBMSCs and hUVECs enhance bone regeneration

Bone tissue renewal can be enhanced through co-transplantation of bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)and vascular endothelial cells(ECs).However,there are apparent limitations in stem cell-based therapy which hinder its clinic translation.Hence,we investigated the potential of alternative stem cell substitutes for facilitating bone regeneration.In this study,we successfully prepared cell membrane vesicles(CMVs)from BMSCs and ECs.The results showed that BMSC-derived cell membrane vesicles(BMSC-CMVs)possessed membrane receptors involved in juxtacrine signaling and growth factors derived from their parental cells.EC-derived cell membrane vesicles(EC-CMVs)also contained BMP2 and VEGF derived from their parental cells.BMSC-CMVs enhanced tube formation and migration ability of hUVECs,while EC-CMVs promoted the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs in vitro.Using a rat skull defect model,we found that co-transplantation of BMSC-CMVs and EC-CMVs could stimulate angiogenesis and bone formation in vivo.Therefore,our research might provide an innovative and feasible approach for cell-free therapy in bone tissue regeneration.

Ultrasensitive Mechanical Sensor Using Tunable Ordered Array of Metallic and Insulating States in Vanadium Dioxide

Detecting tiny deformations or vibrations, particularly those associated with strains below 1%, is essential in various technological applications. Traditional intrinsic materials, including metals and semiconductors, face challenges in simultaneously achieving initial metallic state and strain-induced insulating state, hindering the development of highly sensitive mechanical sensors. Here we report an ultrasensitive mechanical sensor based on a strain-induced tunable ordered array of metallic and insulating states in the single-crystal bronze-phase vanadium dioxide [VO_(2)(B)] quantum material. It is shown that the initial metallic state in the VO_(2)(B) flake can be tuned to the insulating state by applying a weak uniaxial tensile strain. Such a unique property gives rise to a record-high gauge factor of above 607970, surpassing previous values by an order of magnitude, with excellent linearity and mechanical resilience as well as durability. As a proof-of-concept application, we use our proposed mechanical sensor to demonstrate precise sensing of the micro piece, gentle airflows and water droplets. We attribute the superior performance of the sensor to the strain-induced continuous metal-insulator transition in the single-crystal VO_(2)(B) flake, evidenced by experimental and simulation results. Our findings highlight the potential of exploiting correlated quantum materials for next-generation ultrasensitive flexible mechanical sensors, addressing critical limitations in traditional materials.
