Furthermore, viruses from diverse groups, and infecting diverse hosts, have convergently evolved an array of mechanisms for manipulating the actin cytoskeleton for efficacious infection. An ongoing chorus of research now indicates that the actin cytoskeleton is critical for viral replication at many stages of the viral life cycle, including binding, entry, nuclear localization, genomic transcription and reverse transcription, assembly, and egress/dissemination. Specifically, viruses subvert the force-generating and macromolecular scaffolding properties of the actin cytoskeleton to propel viral surfing, internalization, and migration within the cell. Additionally, viruses utilize the actin cytoskeleton to support and organize assembly sites, and eject budding virions for cell-to-cell transmission. It is the purpose of this review to provide an overview of current research, focusing on the various mechanisms and themes of virus-mediated actin modulation described therein.展开更多

Its span is 114+120 m and a whole length of 236 m. The gliding scaffold equipment is used for the first time in the long span cable-stayed bridge construction to reduce the construction time limit. In the process of construction, to make sure a safe connection among concrete objects with different ages, the single-supporting and single-suspension system is adopted before the concrete pouring. While the double-supporting and single-suspension system is applied after con- crete pouring. These construction systems with gliding scaffold equipment are first introduced in long span ca- ble-stayed bridge and presented in detail[1]. The practice shows that these gliding scaffold systems have many advan- tages over the traditional ones.展开更多

Bi-/multi-modal porous PLGA/hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds were prepared by supercritical C02 foaming in which hydroxyapatite acted as heterogeneous nucleation agent. Bimodal porous scaffolds were prepared under certain conditions, i.e. hydroxyapatite addition of 5%, depressurization rate of 0.3 MPa. min-1, soaking temperature of 55 ℃, and pressure of 9 MPa. And scaffolds presented specific structure of small pores (122 μM ± 66 μm) in the cellular walls of large pores (552 μm ±127 μm). Furthermore, multimodal porous PLGA scaffolds with micro-pores (37 μM ± 11μM) were obtained at low soaking pressure of 7.5 MPa. The interconnected porosity of scaffolds ranged from (52.53 ± 2.69)% to (83.08±2.42)% by adjusting depressurization rate, while compression modulus satisfied the requirement of bone tissue engineering. Solvent-free CO2 foaming method is promising to fabricate bi-/multi-modal porous scaffolds in one step, and bioactive particles for osteogenesis could serve as nucleation agents.展开更多

Osteoblast like cells were seeded on gelatin/genipin scaffolds for 7, 14 and 21 days. Cell proliferation assay, light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and high resolution scanning electron microscopy were carried to evaluate cell viability, cell adhesion and the production of extracellular matrix. Cell proliferation assay showed a high biocompatibility of the material. High resolution scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy showed a strong adhesion of MG63 ceils on the surface of gelatin scaffold and high penetration in the macroporosities of the material. TEM analysis showed an intense production of extracellular matrix protein. In vitro analysis indicated a good biocompatibility of the scaffold and presents it as a potential candidate material for tissue engineering.展开更多

The bridge is situated in a valley plain which is crossed by small rivers and was designed principally with the environment in mind. The bridge length is over 356 m, and the width of the decks is 11.5 m. For the bridge works, a simple conventional falsework system was chosen with steel frames for the supports and steel rolled beams for the decks. The formwork was constructed in solid timber and plywood as multiple-use panels. The falsework was designed in order to build the two 10-span bridge decks in stages. The decks are continuous cast-in-situ prestressed concrete twin rib with spans of 30 m, 34 m and 45 m. An individual falsework system was designed, which was easy to move transversally following completion of each stage for one deck. After finishing each stage, for the second deck, the falsework was dismantled and used again in the next construction fronts. An individual arrangement for the falsework along with timber pilings was used to cross the biggest river. The formwork timber panels were used several times in the multistage bridge construction. The adopted falsework system is very simple, but it allowed the speedy construction of the two decks where there were severe time constraints.展开更多

Moreover,these models bridge the gap between traditional two-dimensional(2D) monolayer cultures and animal models. 3D culture systems have significantly advanced basic cell science and tissue engineering, especially in the fields of cell biology and physiology, stem cell research, regenerative medicine, cancer research, drug discovery, and gene and protein expression studies. In addition,3D models can provide unique insight into bacteriology, virology, parasitology and host-pathogen interactions. This review summarizes and analyzes recent progress in human virological research with 3D cell culture models. We discuss viral growth, replication, proliferation, infection, virus-host interactions and antiviral drugs in 3D culture models.展开更多

After completely cutting and removing a 5-mm adult rat T8 segment, a sodium hyaluronate-CNTF scaffold was implanted into the lesion area. Dil tracing and immunofluorescence staining were used to observe the proliferation, differentiation and integration of neural stem cells (NSCs) after SCI. A planar multielectrode dish system (MED64) was used to test the electrophysiological characteristics of the regenerated neural network in the lesioned area. Electrophysiology and behavior evaluation were used to evaluate functional recovery of paraplegic rat hindlimbs. The Dil tracing and immunofluorescence results suggest that the sodium hyaluronate-CNTF scaffold could activate the NSCs originating from the spinal cord ependymal, and facilitate their migration to the lesion area and differentiation into mature neurons, which were capable of forming synaptic contact and receiving glutamatergic excitatory synaptic input. The MED64 results suggest that functional synapsis could be established among regenerated neurons as well as between regenerated neurons and the host tissue, which has been evidenced to be glutamatergic excitatory synapsis. The electrophysiology and behavior evaluation results indicate that the paraplegic rats’ sensory and motor functions were recovered in some degree. Collectively, this study may shed light on paraplegia treatment in clinics.展开更多

In construction of engineered kidneys, researchers used native decellularized extracellular matrix(ECM) as the scaffolds to recellularization. However, thrombosis has been a great issue that hinders the progress of transplantation in vivo. In this study, heparin was immobilized to the collagen part of decellularized scaffold with collagen-binding peptide(CBP). Through the anticoagulant and endothelial cell reperfusion experiments, it can be demonstrated that the heparinized scaffolds absorbed less platelets and red blood cells which can effectively reduce the formation of thrombosis. Moreover, it is conducive to longterm adhesion of endothelial cells which is important for the formation of subsequent vascularization. Taken together, our results reveal that the whole kidney can be modified by CBP-heparin composite to reduce the thrombosis and provide the better conditions for neovascularization.展开更多

Under the optimal conditions, the reactions occurred with moderate-to-excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). A plausible transition state constructed by the supra- molecular interaction of hydrogen bond and cation-π between catalysts and substrates has been proposed.展开更多

In this regard, a general and bottom-up strategy to synthesize 1 D nanoparticle arrays and conductive nanowires with a facile structural/compositional control is highly desired. We herein report a protein-sheathed single walled carbon nanotube(SWNT) that satisfies the criteria for an ideal template to assemble micron-long gold nanoparticle(Au NP) linear arrays with high structural rigidity. The resulting Au NP array has minimized inter-particle gaps, which is especially useful to template the overgrowth of Ag, Pd, and Pd/Ag metals into continuous nanowires(Au@M, M=Ag, Pd, Ag/Pd). Our method successfully overcomes the incompatibility between carbon and metal materials, and the resulting superstructured metal nanowires have a tunable diameter below 100 nm and a shape closely replicating a SWNT. The Ag nanowires are composed of coalesced Au@Ag coreshell nanoparticles, while the Pd and Pd/Ag nanowires are made of very fine Pd nanocrystallites around the Au NP cores. These unique structural features are pivotal to various applications including surface enhanced Raman scattering(SERS), electrocatalysis, and gas sensors.展开更多

According to the doctrine of traditional Chinese medicine, the cutaneous regions are the corresponding projections of twelve meridians in the superficial layer of the body and play an important role in body surface-viscera correlation. The symptoms of visceral disorders will reflect on cutaneous regions and one of the major patterns of manifestation is referred visceral pain accompanied by tenderness and hyperalgesia on the body surface. On the contrary, cutaneous regions participate in the treatment of visceral disorders. As major clinical applications of the cutaneous regions hypothesis, superficial acupuncture, subcutaneous needling, massage(tuina), moxibustion, and wrist-ankle acupuncture have achieved favorable therapeutic outcomes in clinical practice. Modern researches have gained insights into the biological background of cutaneous regions, however, further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms.展开更多

文摘One dimensional(1 D) nanostructures have many possible applications in electronic, optical, and sensing devices associated with their nanosized lateral dimensions. In this regard, a general and bottom-up strategy to synthesize 1 D nanoparticle arrays and conductive nanowires with a facile structural/compositional control is highly desired. We herein report a protein-sheathed single walled carbon nanotube(SWNT) that satisfies the criteria for an ideal template to assemble micron-long gold nanoparticle(Au NP) linear arrays with high structural rigidity. The resulting Au NP array has minimized inter-particle gaps, which is especially useful to template the overgrowth of Ag, Pd, and Pd/Ag metals into continuous nanowires(Au@M, M=Ag, Pd, Ag/Pd). Our method successfully overcomes the incompatibility between carbon and metal materials, and the resulting superstructured metal nanowires have a tunable diameter below 100 nm and a shape closely replicating a SWNT. The Ag nanowires are composed of coalesced Au@Ag coreshell nanoparticles, while the Pd and Pd/Ag nanowires are made of very fine Pd nanocrystallites around the Au NP cores. These unique structural features are pivotal to various applications including surface enhanced Raman scattering(SERS), electrocatalysis, and gas sensors.

文摘As one of the most important concepts in traditional Chinese medicine, cutaneous regions have a close relationship with skin in modern medicine. According to the doctrine of traditional Chinese medicine, the cutaneous regions are the corresponding projections of twelve meridians in the superficial layer of the body and play an important role in body surface-viscera correlation. The symptoms of visceral disorders will reflect on cutaneous regions and one of the major patterns of manifestation is referred visceral pain accompanied by tenderness and hyperalgesia on the body surface. On the contrary, cutaneous regions participate in the treatment of visceral disorders. As major clinical applications of the cutaneous regions hypothesis, superficial acupuncture, subcutaneous needling, massage(tuina), moxibustion, and wrist-ankle acupuncture have achieved favorable therapeutic outcomes in clinical practice. Modern researches have gained insights into the biological background of cutaneous regions, however, further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms.
