Surface morphology of the composite and its effect on the Ni?P alloy depositing process and bonding action of Ni and P atoms in the Ni?P alloy were studied. The results show that inhomogeneous distribution of the Sn/Pd activating points results in preferential deposition of the Ni?P alloy particles on the Al alloy and rough SiC particle surfaces and in the etched caves. The Ni?P alloy film has an amorphous structure where chemical bonding between Ni and P atoms exists. After a continuous Ni?P alloy film formed, electroless Ni?P alloy plating is not affected by surface morphology and characteristics of the SiCp/Al composite any longer, but by the electroless plating process itself. The Ni?P alloy film follows linear growth kinetics with an activation energy of 68.44 kJ/mol.展开更多

We have employed targeted contrast ultrasound-mediated gene transfection （TCUMGT） via ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction （UTMD） to transfer therapeutic genes to specific anatomic and pathological targets. Phospholipid microbubbles （MBs） with pcDNA3.l-human vascular endothelial growth factor 165 （pcDNA3.I-hVEGFls5） plasmids targeted to P-selectin （MB＋P＋VEGFp） were created by conjugating monoclonal antibodies against P-selectin to the lipid shell. These microbubbles were divided into four groups： microbubble only （MB）, microbubble＋P-selectin （MB＋P）, microbubble＋pcDNA3.l-hVEGF185 plasmid （MB＋VEGFp）, and microbubbie＋ P-selectin＋pcDNA3.1-hVEGF185 piasmid （MB＋P＋VEGFp）. The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） results showed that the VEGF gene was successfully transfected by TCUMGT and the efficiency is increased with P-selectin targeting moiety. UTMD-mediated delivery of VEGF increased myocardial vascular density and improved cardiac function, and MB＋P＋VEGFp delivery showed greater improvement than MB＋VEGFp. This study drew support from TCUGMT technology and took advantage of targeted ultrasound contrast agent to identify ischemic myocardium, release pcDNA3.1-hVEGF165 recombinant plasmid, and improve the myocardial microenvironment, so promoting the restoration of myocardial function.展开更多

Based on the detailed petrographic observations and studies of garnet growth zoning, a P-T-t path has been reconstructed for the staurolite-kyanite zone in the Julin Group. This path is characterized by (1) a counter-clockwise evolutional trend, (2) a quicker increase of temperature than that of pressure in the initial prograde metamorphism, but slower near the peak, then temperature and pressure simultaneously reaching the peak metamorphic conditions, and (3) a slow near-isobaric cooling during the retrograde process. The P-T-t path for prograde metamorphism is closely related to magmatic accretion in the arc setting. The magmatic accretion model, metamorphism type and tectonic setting may be compared with the global Grenville tectono-metamorphic events, and related to the assembly of the Rodinia at the late Meso-proterozoic-early Neoproterozoic (~1.0 Ga). The retrograde P-T-t path shows a slow near-isobaric cooling, indicating sustained heat supplies from the upper mantle and no rapid erosion. This heat source may be originated from the Neoproterozoic (~0.82 Ga) breakup of the Rodinia.展开更多

Methods DRGs were dissected from embryonic day 15 Wistar rats. DRG neurons were dissociated and cultured for 48 h and then exposed to Glu （0.2 mmol/L） or Glu （0.2 mmol/L） plus IGF- 1 （5 nmol/L, 10 nmol/L and 20 nmol/L） for 12 h. The DRG neurons in control group were exposed to only growth media throughout the experiment. After that, the living DRG neurons were observed under inverted phase contrast microscope and microphotographs were taken. The expression levels of PPT and CGRP mRNAs were detected by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR）. Results IGF-1 could inhibit Glu-induced shortening of neurite. Besides, IGF-1 could significantly increase the levels ofPPT mRNA and CGRP mRNA in primary cultured DRG neurons with Glu-induced excitotoxicity, in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion IGF-1 may exert neuroprotective effects on DRG neurons against Glu-induced excitotoxicity, probably through regulating the expression levels of PPT and CGRP mRNAs.展开更多

Methods: The fibroblasts from the granulation tissues in the skeletal muscle of rat’s hind limbs injured by formaldehyde were cultured in vitro. When different concentrations (10 -9-10 -5 mol/L) of SP were added into the culture medium, the changes of gene expression of TGFβ-1, TGFR-1 and TGFR-2 in the cultured fibroblasts were observed with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction at different intervals (0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours after incubation). Results: The gene expression of TGFβ-1, TGFR-1 and TGFR-2 in the fibroblasts cultured from rat’s granulation tissues was up-regulated by SP. The peak level of the mRNA expression was found at 10 -8 mol/L SP and the up-regulation effect was not found at 10 -5 mol/L and 10 -6 mol/L. The peak levels of gene expression of TGFβ-1, TGFR-1 and TGFR-2 in the fibroblasts treated with SP were achieved at 6 and 12 hours, respectively. Conclusions: SP has up-regulation effect on the gene expression of TGFβ-1, TGFR-1 and TGFR-2 in fibroblasts from rat’s granulation tissues in vitro, and the effect is related to different stimulating concentrations of SP. It may be concerned with proliferation and differentiation of fibroblasts and formation of scar tissues during wound healing.展开更多

The electroluminescence （EL） emission of this LED is in the infrared range, which is dominated by the band gap of Si1-xGex alloy. The EL wavelength variation of the LED shows a red shift, which increases with increasing mole fraction of Ge. With Ge mole fractions of 0.18, 0.23 and 0.29, the average EL wavelengths are around 1,144, 1,162 and 1,185 nm, respectively. The observed magnitudes of the red shifts are consistent with theoretical calculations. Therefore, by modulating the mole fraction of Ge in the Si1-xGex alloy, we can adjust the band gap of the SiGe film and tune the emission wavelength of the fabricated LED. Such an IR LED device may have great potential applications in optical communication, environmental monitoring and biological and medical analyses.展开更多

文摘A novel infrared light emitting diode （LED） based on an ordered p-n heterojunction built of a p-Si1-xGe/alloy and n-ZnO nanowires has been developed. The electroluminescence （EL） emission of this LED is in the infrared range, which is dominated by the band gap of Si1-xGex alloy. The EL wavelength variation of the LED shows a red shift, which increases with increasing mole fraction of Ge. With Ge mole fractions of 0.18, 0.23 and 0.29, the average EL wavelengths are around 1,144, 1,162 and 1,185 nm, respectively. The observed magnitudes of the red shifts are consistent with theoretical calculations. Therefore, by modulating the mole fraction of Ge in the Si1-xGex alloy, we can adjust the band gap of the SiGe film and tune the emission wavelength of the fabricated LED. Such an IR LED device may have great potential applications in optical communication, environmental monitoring and biological and medical analyses.
