Crystalline and amorphous metal sulfide composite electrode materials with long cycle life:Preparation and performance of hybrid capacitors

Crystalline@amorphous NiCo_(2)S_(4)@MoS_(2)(v-NCS@MS)nanostructures were designed and constructed via an ethylene glycol-induced strategy with hydrothermal synthesis and solvothermal method,which simultaneously realized the defect regulation of crystal NiCo_(2)S_(4) in the core.Taking advantage of the flexible protection of an amor-phous shell and the high capacity of a conductive core with defects,the v-NCS@MS electrode exhibited high specif-ic capacity(1034 mAh·g^(-1) at 1 A·g^(-1))and outstanding rate capability.Moreover,a hybrid supercapacitor was assembled with v-NCS@MS as cathode and activated carbon(AC)as anode,which can achieve remarkably high specific energy of 111 Wh·kg^(-1) at a specific power of 219 W·kg^(-1) and outstanding capacity retention of 80.5%after 15000 cycling at different current densities.

Long-term radiofrequency electromagnetic fields exposure attenuates cognitive dysfunction in 5×FAD mice by regulating microglial function

We have previously found that long-term effects of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields in 5xFAD mice with severe late-stage Alzheimer’s disease reduced both amyloid-βdeposition and glial activation,including microglia.To examine whether this therapeutic effect is due to the regulation of activated microglia,we analyzed mic roglial gene expression profiles and the existence of microglia in the brain in this study.5xFAD mice at the age of 1.5 months were assigned to sham-and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields-exposed groups and then animals were exposed to 1950 MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic fields at a specific absorption rate of 5 W/kg for 2 hours/day and 5 days/week for 6 months.We conducted behavioral tests including the object recognition and Y-maze tests and molecular and histopathological analysis of amyloid precursor protein/a myloid-beta metabolism in brain tissue.We confirmed that radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure for 6 months ameliorated cognitive impairment and amyloid-βdeposition.The expression levels of Iba1(pan-microglial marker)and colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor(CSF1R;regulates microglial prolife ration)in the hippocampus in 5xFAD mice treated with radiofrequency electromagnetic fields were significantly reduced compared with those of the sham-exposed group.Subsequently,we analyzed the expression levels of genes related to mic rogliosis and microglial function in the radiofrequency electromagnetic fields-exposed group compared to those of a CSF1R inhibitor(PLX3397)-treated group.Both radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and PLX3397 suppressed the levels of genes related to microgliosis(Csf1r,CD68,and Ccl6)and pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β.N otably,the expression levels of genes related to mic roglial function,including Trem2,Fcgr1α,Ctss,and Spi1,were decreased after long-term radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure,which was also observed in response to microglial suppression by PLX3397.These results showed that radiofrequency electromagnetic fields ameliorated amyloid-βpathology and cognitive impairment by suppressing amyloid-βdeposition-induced microgliosis and their key regulator,CSF1R.

基于Sigmoid函数的非对称式S型曲线机械臂加减速控制方法

机械臂广泛应用于制造、装配、搬运、码垛等方面,对提高生产力起着重要作用。为减小机械臂在运动过程中的振动和冲击,提高机械臂轨迹执行效率,提出一种非对称式S型曲线加减速控制方法。该方法通过在双段Sigmoid函数中插入直线段,构成加加速度连续的运动学曲线。通过粒子群算法进行参数优化求解,无需反复确认每个时间段的存在性即可求出非对称约束下的曲线参数,并分别在关节空间和笛卡尔空间采用时间同步和位移同步方法使机械臂的运动轨迹更加协调自然。结果表明,相同条件下提出的方法比三角函数方法轨迹执行效率更高且加加速度仅为三角函数方法的55%。与梯形加加速度曲线相比,采用提出的方法规划的运动轨迹可减少35.7%的残余振动,验证了该方法的有效性。

Manipulation of spermatogonial stem cells in livestock species

We are entering an exciting epoch in livestock biotechnology during which the fundamental approaches(such as transgenesis, spermatozoa cryopreservation and artificial insemination) will be enhanced based on the modern understanding of the biology of spermatogonial stem cells(SSCs) combined with the outstanding recent advances in genomic editing technologies and in vitro cell culture systems. The general aim of this review is to outline comprehensively the promising applications of SSC manipulation that could in the nearest future find practical application in livestock breeding. Here, we will focus on 1) the basics of mammalian SSC biology;2) the approaches for SSC isolation and purification;3) the available in vitro systems for the stable expansion of isolated SSCs;4) a discussion of how the manipulation of SSCs can accelerate livestock transgenesis;5) a thorough overview of the techniques of SSC transplantation in livestock species(including the preparation of recipients for SSC transplantation,the ultrasonographic-guided SSC transplantation technique in large farm animals, and the perspectives to improve further the SSC transplantation efficiency), and finally, 6) why SSC transplantation is valuable to extend the techniques of spermatozoa cryopreservation and/or artificial insemination. For situations where no reliable data have yet been obtained for a particular livestock species, we will rely on the data obtained from studies conducted in rodents because the knowledge gained from rodent research is translatable to livestock species to a great extent. On the other hand, we will draw special attention to situations where such translation is not possible.

Electroacupuncture Alleviates Memory Deficits in APP/PS1 Mice by Targeting Serotonergic Neurons in Dorsal Raphe Nucleus

Objective Alzheimer’s disease(AD)has become a significant global concern,but effective drugs able to slow down AD progression is still lacked.Electroacupuncture(EA)has been demonstrated to ameliorate cognitive impairment in individuals with AD.However,the underlying mechanisms remains poorly understood.This study aimed at examining the neuroprotective properties of EA and its potential mechanism of action against AD.Methods APP/PS1 transgenic mice were employed to evaluate the protective effects of EA on Shenshu(BL 23)and Baihui(GV 20).Chemogenetic manipulation was used to activate or inhibit serotonergic neurons within the dorsal raphe nucleus(DRN).Learning and memory abilities were assessed by the novel object recognition and Morris water maze tests.Golgi staining,western blot,and immunostaining were utilized to determine EA-induced neuroprotection.Results EA at Shenshu(BL 23)and Baihui(GV 20)effectively ameliorated learning and memory impairments in APP/PS1 mice.EA attenuated dendritic spine loss,increased the expression levels of PSD95,synaptophysin,and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in hippocampus.Activation of serotonergic neurons within the DRN can ameliorate cognitive deficits in AD by activating glutamatergic neurons mediated by 5-HT1B.Chemogenetic inhibition of serotonergic neurons in the DRN reversed the effects of EA on synaptic plasticity and memory.Conclusion EA can alleviate cognitive dysfunction in APP/PS1 mice by activating serotonergic neurons in the DRN.Further study is necessary to better understand how the serotonergic neurons-related neural circuits involves in EA-induced memory improvement in AD.

The Significance of Family in Long Day's Journey Into Night

Long Day's Journey Into Night is considered one of the best drama Eugene O'Neill has ever written. It was published and staged posthumously as per the will of the playwright and won him a fourth Pulitzer Prize. This paper tries to analyze this tragedy from conventional perspective of tragedies and concludes that the Tyrone family in the play serves as the protagonist and the play conforms to traditional structure of a tragedy,though no deaths and the like are found in the end.

Plasma long noncoding RNA expression profile identified by microarray in patients with Crohn's disease

AIM: To investigate the expression pattern of plasma long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Chrohn’s disease (CD) patients.METHODS: Microarray screening and qRT-PCR verification of lncRNAs and mRNAs were performed in CD and control subjects, followed by hierarchy clustering, GO and KEGG pathway analyses. Significantly dysregulated lncRNAs were categorized into subgroups of antisense lncRNAs, enhancer lncRNAs and lincRNAs. To predict the regulatory effect of lncRNAs on mRNAs, a CNC network analysis was performed and cross linked with significantly changed lncRNAs. The overlapping lncRNAs were randomly selected and verified by qRT-PCR in a larger cohort.RESULTS: Initially, there were 1211 up-regulated and 777 down-regulated lncRNAs as well as 1020 up-regulated and 953 down-regulated mRNAs after microarray analysis; a heat map based on these results showed good categorization into the CD and control groups. GUSBP2 and {'type':'entrez-nucleotide','attrs':{'text':'AF113016','term_id':'6642755','term_text':'AF113016'}}AF113016 had the highest fold change of the up- and down-regulated lncRNAs, whereas TBC1D17 and CCL3L3 had the highest fold change of the up- and down-regulated mRNAs. Six (SNX1, CYFIP2, CD6, CMTM8, STAT4 and IGFBP7) of 10 mRNAs and 8 ({'type':'entrez-nucleotide','attrs':{'text':'NR_033913','term_id':'299890801','term_text':'NR_033913'}}NR_033913, {'type':'entrez-nucleotide','attrs':{'text':'NR_038218','term_id':'333360887','term_text':'NR_038218'}}NR_038218, {'type':'entrez-nucleotide','attrs':{'text':'NR_036512','term_id':'302393555','term_text':'NR_036512'}}NR_036512, {'type':'entrez-nucleotide','attrs':{'text':'NR_049759','term_id':'388240827','term_text':'NR_049759'}}NR_049759, {'type':'entrez-nucleotide','attrs':{'text':'NR_033951','term_id':'300068996','term_text':'NR_033951'}}NR_033951, {'type':'entrez-nucleotide','attrs':{'text':'NR_045408','term_id':'354548835','term_text':'NR_045408'}}NR_045408, {'type':'entrez-nucleotide','attrs':{'text':'NR_038377','term_id':'335334999','term_text':'NR_038377'}}NR_038377 and {'type':'entrez-nucleotide','attrs':{'text':'NR_039976','term_id':'337756399','term_text':'NR_039976'}}NR_039976) of 14 lncRNAs showed the same change trends on the microarray and qRT-PCR results with statistical significance. Based on the qRT-PCR verified mRNAs, 1358 potential lncRNAs with 2697 positive correlations and 2287 negative correlations were predicted by the CNC network.CONCLUSION: The plasma lncRNAs profiles provide preliminary data for the non-invasive diagnosis of CD and a resource for further specific lncRNA-mRNA pathway exploration.

Isolation and Identification of a Specific cDNA Mapping to the Bam HI-I2 and -LFragments within the Inverted Repeats ofUnique Long Re-gion (IRL) in the Genom e ofMarek′s Disease Herpesvirus (MDV) Oncogenic Strain Beijing-1

Objective\ To understand the transcription of BamHI L DNA fragment from genome of strong virulent GA strain of Marek′s disease herpesvirus (MDV) in lymphoblastoid tumor tissue induced by oncogenic strain Beijing 1 (a specific local strain in China) of MDV. Methods\ Two oligonucleotide primers were synthesized according to the reported sequence of \%meq\% gene an ideal oncogenic candidate and our previously determined sequence of BamHI L fragment of Marek′s disease herpesvirus (MDV), respectively. Reverse transcriptase PCR(RT PCR) assay was performed by using these primers and the mRNA as a template which was isolated from visceral lymphoblastoid tumors obtained from chickens artificially infected with strain Beijing 1 of oncogenic MDV. Southern blot molecular hybridization was further carried out to detect the product of RT PCR with digoxigenin labeled nucleotide probe from BamHI I2 and L fragment in the gene library of MDV strain GA, respectively. Results\ Two probes could simultaneously hybridize this cDNA amplified by RT PCR with a length of about 730 bp. Conclusion\ It is suggested that \%meq\% transcription could extend from the right hand end of BamHI I2 to the adjacent BamHI L, and the BamHI L region was likely to be transcribed in MDV induced lymphoblastoid tumors.

Luminescence Characterization of Mg Doped Y_2O_2S:Ti Long Afterglow Phosphor

Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti (0≤x≤0.10) phosphors with long afterglow were synthesized by solid state reaction route. The photoluminescence spectra, decay curves, thermoluminescent spectra and chromaticity coordinate curves were investigated. The results show that the luminescence intensity of Y1.94-xMgxO2S :0.06Ti (0≤x≤0. 10) phosphors decrease gradually with increasing Mg2+ ion content, and the shape of luminescence spectra and chromaticity coordinate change as well. Furthermore, two thermoluminescent peaks in single Ti-doped Y2O2S sample are found at 91.8 and 221.5℃, respectively. Nevertheless, significant different spectra were found for the Mg, Ti co-doped Y2O2S samples that three thermoluminescence peaks appear at 52.3, 141.7 and 226.8℃, respectively. These results indicate that the co-doped Mg ion changes the inherent trap depth of single Ti-doped Y2O2S: Ti phosphor, and induces simultaneously a new trap level in the Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti phosphor. Based on the analysis of thermoluminescent spectra, photolumi-nescent spectra, decay curve and crystal structure defect, it was proposed that the varied structure defect and introduced new trap level by the doped Mg2+ ions should be responsible for reducing luminescence intensity and varying color in the Y1.94-x Mgx O2S : 0.06Ti phosphor.

Optimization Algorithm for Operation Comfortability of Master Manipulator of Minimally Invasive Surgery Robot

To evaluate the operation comfortability in the master-slave robotic minimally invasive surgery(MIS), an optimal function was built with two operation comfortability decided indices, i.e., the center distance and volume contact ratio. Two verifying experiments on Phantom Desktop and Micro Hand S were conducted. Experimental results show that the operation effect at the optimal relative location is better than that at the random location, which means that the optimal function constructed in this paper is effective in optimizing the operation comfortability.

Florid reactive periostitis ossificans of the humerus: Case report and differential diagnosis of periosteal lesions of long bones

A case of florid reactive periostitis ossificans(RPO) arising in a long bone is presented. This is a rare bone proliferation with a pronounced periosteal reaction. Less than 100 cases have been described in the literature with far fewer outside the bones of the hand, feet, fingers, and toes. Although the etiology is unknown, a relationship to preceding trauma is suggested. The imaging and histologic features show an overlap with other bone lesions including bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation, subungual exostosis, and malignant surface tumors of bone and cartilage which include, periosteal and parosteal osteosarcoma. It is important to recognize the clinical presentation and diagnostic features of RPO as a benign entity so that it is not mistaken for a more aggressive neoplasm. We present a case of a right distal humeral lesion that on histopathological review revealed florid RPO. This diagnosis was not suspected on imaging studies, but was made on open biopsy of the mass. The patient remains disease free, years postoperatively. In addition to presenting this unique case report, we review the pertinent literature, and offer a differential diagnosis and treatment strategy for its management.

S,N共掺杂TiO_(2)纳米管作为钠离子电池负极的储钠性能

合理的结构设计和单原子掺杂可以明显提高二氧化钛(TiO_(2))作为钠离子电池负极的储钠性能。然而单原子掺杂在TiO_(2)中较低的掺杂质量分数与单一的功能作用阻碍了TiO_(2)作为钠离子电池负极电化学性能的进一步增强,因此研究了高质量分数掺杂和双原子掺杂对TiO_(2)储钠性能的影响。通过砂纸打磨对钛箔表面进行预处理除去氧化层,在含有0.56 g的NH_(4)F、5 mL的H_(2)O和95 mL的乙二醇(EG)溶液中,在20 min内通过施加阳极氧化电压60 V,在室温环境下对钛箔进行阳极氧化,在其表面生长出TiO_(2)纳米管阵列;以CH4N2S作为N源和S源,使用退火的方式对TiO_(2)纳米管阵列进行掺杂,得到S,N共掺杂的TiO_(2)纳米管阵列。实验结果表明,S,N共掺杂TiO_(2)的质量分数分别为1.53%和4.76%时,显著提高了TiO_(2)的电导率,加快了钠离子转移动力学。另外,TiO_(2)作为钠离子电池负极表现出强大的倍率性能和长循环性能,在0.1C(1C=335 mA·g^(-1))的电流密度下,S,N共掺杂TiO_(2)电极保持296.6 mA·h·g^(-1)的可逆电荷比容量,在25.0C的电流密度下保持158.1 mA·h·g^(-1)的可逆电荷比容量,并在约3500圈循环后的可逆电荷比容量保持率高达94.8%。相较于单掺杂,双掺杂使掺杂质量分数更高并产生协同效应,该策略为制备出优异性能的电极材料提供了参考。
