摘要Although the combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy can improve the treatment of breast cancer,traditional drugs are highly toxic because they do not specifically target tumors.In this study,we developed a self-driving bacteriaanoparticle biohybrid called Bif@PDA-aPD1/DOX-Lip by attaching polydopamine(PDA)coated doxorubicin(DOX)liposomes and the immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-programmed cell death protein 1 antibody(aPD-1)to Bifidobacterium infantis(B.infantis,Bif).Using the homing abilities of bacteria,Bif@PDA-aPD1/DOX-Lip could actively accumulate in tumor tissue,releasing DOX and aPD-1 in the acidic environment to have a synergistic anti-tumor effect.Results show that the concentration of DOX in tumors of the Bif@PDA-aPD1/DOX-Lip group was 6.31 times higher than in the free DOX group.The combination of DOX and aPD-1 not only killed tumor cells but also promoted immune normalization by maturing dendritic cells(DCs),increasing M1 macrophage ratio,and enhancing infiltration of CD8+ and CD4+T cells in tumors and spleen.Therefore,Bif@PDA-aPD1/DOX-Lip therapy significantly inhibited tumor growth and increased the average survival time of mice to over 80 days.The Bif@PDA-aPD1/DOX-Lip biomotors offer a highly effective method for enhancing chemo-immunotherapy in solid tumors.

摘要Niobium alloy and nickel-based superalloy exhibit high strength and remarkable corrosion resistance,joining them to fabricate composite structures could help to realize their potential.Nevertheless,research attention devoted to the joining of niobium alloy with nickel-based superalloy remains scarce.This study investigates direct diffusion bonding of these two materials.The microstructure of the joint is characterized in detail,with the typical joint microstructure being identified as GH4099/(Ni,Cr)ss+Ni3Nb+Cr2Nb/Ni3Nb/Ni6Nb7/Nb alloy.With holding time fixed at 60 min and diffusion pressure maintained at 15 MPa,the effects of diffusion bonding temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of joints are examined within the range of 900–1150℃.An increase in bonding temperature results in the formation of different intermetallic compounds within the joint.The primary cause of joint fracture is the presence of Cr2Nb and Ni6Nb7.The tensile strength of the joint initially increases and then decreases with increasing temperature,reaching a maximum value of 204 MPa.This work expands the range of methods for joining niobium alloys to nickel-based superalloys,enabling bonding without the introduction of additional elements.

摘要This study endeavors to investigate the effects of Bifidobacterium breve CCFM1078 on bone formation and resorption balance in growing BALB/c mice.Newborn BALB/c mice were assigned to the control group(administration saline)and the CCFM1078 group(administration B.breve CCFM1078,3×109 CFU/day)in 3-,4-,and 5-week tests.All the groups have male and female distinctions.Our findings demonstrate that B.breve CCFM1078 exerts on the dynamic equilibrium between bone formation and resorption during the critical period of growth in mice by modulating the composition of gut microbiota and metabolites(hexadecanamide,linoleoyl ethanolamide,and palmitoyl ethanolamide),the genes and proteins expression related to the growth hormone(GH)/insulin-like growth factors-1(IGF-1)axis and Gs/PKA/CREB signaling pathways,as well as downstream osteogenic and osteoclastic differentiation factors.The effects of B.breve CCFM1078 were different with age and gender dependent.This finding suggests B.breve CCFM1078 may have potential applications in regulating bone metabolism in the growth period population.

摘要The ability of cyborg locusts to achieve directional movement in complex outdoor environments is critical for search and rescue missions.Currently,there is a lack of research on motion control for cyborg locusts in outdoor settings.In this study,we developed cyborg locusts capable of performing directional locomotion in intricate outdoor environments,including jumping over obstacles,climbing slopes,traversing narrow pipelines,and accurately reaching predetermined targets along specified routes.We designed a miniature electrical backpack(10 mm×10 mm,0.75 g)capable of receiving stimulus parameters(frequency,duty ratio,and stimulation time)via Bluetooth commands from mobile phones.Electrical stimulation of locust sensory organs,such as the antennae and cercus,induced turning and jumping behaviors.Experi-mental testing of locust movement control was conducted under outdoor conditions with a short electrical stimulation interval.Results showed a positive correlation between locust turning angles and electrical stimulation parameters within a specified range,with an average jumping height exceeding 10 cm.Additionally,the success rate of locust turning and jumping behaviors correlated positively with the interval time between electrical stimulations.Adjusting these intervals during forward crawling phases increased the likelihood of the locusts jumping again.In conclusion,this study success-fully achieved directional locomotion control of cyborg locusts outdoors,providing insights and references for advancing search and rescue capabilities.

摘要In this paper,we present the second post-Newtonian solution for the quasi-Keplerian motion of a test particle in the regular Simpson–Visser black-bounce spacetime which has a bounce parameter a.The obtained solution is formulated in terms of orbital energy,angular momentum,and the bounce parameter of the black hole.We explicitly analyze the leading effects of the bounce parameter which has dimensions of length,on the test particle’s orbit,including the periastron advance and orbital period.Then,we apply this model to the precessing motion of OJ 287 and determine the upper limits of the dimensionless bounce parameter as a/m=3.45±0.01,where m is the mass of the regular black hole.Compared with the bound given by the periastron advance of star S2,our bound on a/m is reduced by one order of magnitude,although our upper limit of a still needs further improvement.
摘要The digital economy and the low-carbon economy are crucial catalysts of global economic change and sustainable development.This research focuses on China and thoroughly examines the coupling and coordination mechanisms between the digital and low-carbon economies.This study employs the coupling coordination degree model to assess the development level of the coupling and coordination between the two economies.It also investigates the influence of climate-related physical threats on their coupled and coordinated development and presents the following findings.First,the integration and synchronized advancement of China's digital and low-carbon economies exhibit a general upward trend,though the average development level remains relatively low,characterized by considerable regional variations.Moreover,the dynamic distribution of coupling and coordination development levels among locations reveals notable disparities.Second,the coupling coordination degree between China's digital and low-carbon economies exhibits distinct spatial correlation,following a“high-high,lowlow”distribution pattern,with transfer channels exhibiting spatial dependence.Third,Tobit model analysis reveals that climate-related physical dangers substantially impede the integration and synchronized advancement of digital and low-carbon economies.The underlying mechanism is the inhibition of green low-carbon technological innovation,with extremely low temperatures exerting the most significant suppressive influence.This suppression varies based on geographic location,data development,and resource endowment.

摘要Few studies have investigated alterations in the immune cell microenvironment of the dorsal root ganglia following spinal cord injury and whether these modifications facilitate axonal regeneration.In this study,we used a single-cell RNA sequencing dataset to create a comprehensive profile of the diverse cell types in the dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord of a mid-thoracic contusion injury model in cynomolgus monkeys.Cell communication analysis indicated that specific signaling events among various dorsal root ganglia cell types occur in response to spinal cord injury.Single-cell analysis using dimensionality reduction clustering identified distinct molecular signatures for nine cell types,including macrophage subpopulations,and differential gene expression profiles between dorsal root ganglia cells and spinal cord cells following spinal cord injury.The macrophage subpopulations were categorized into 11 clusters(MC0-MC10)based on differentially expressed genes,with the top 10 genes being ABCA6,RBMS3,EBF1,LAMA4,ANTXR2,LAMA2,SOX5,FOXP2,GHR,and APOD.MC0,MC1,and MC2 constituted the predominant macrophage populations.MC4,MC6,and MC9 were nearly absent in the spinal cord,but exhibited significant increases in the dorsal root ganglia post-spinal cord injury.Notably,these subpopulations possess a strong capacity for regulating axonal regeneration.The developmental progression of dorsal root ganglia macrophages after spinal cord injury was elucidated using cell trajectory and pseudo-time analyses.Genes such as EBF1(MC6 and MC9 marker),RBMS3(MC6 and MC9 marker),and ABCA6(MC6 marker)showed high expression levels in the critical pathways of macrophage function.Through ligand-receptor pair analysis,we determined that the effects of macrophages on microglia are predominantly mediated through interaction pairs(e.g.,SPP1-CD44,LAMC1-CD44,and FN1-CD44),potentially facilitating specific cellular communications within the immune microenvironment.The single-cell RNA sequencing dataset used in this study represents the first comprehensive transcriptional analysis of the dorsal root ganglia after spinal cord injury in cynomolgus monkeys,encompassing nearly all cell types within the dorsal root ganglia region.Using this dataset,we evaluated diverse subtypes of macrophages in the post-spinal cord injury dorsal root ganglia area and examined the signaling pathways that facilitate interactions among immune response-related macrophages in the dorsal root ganglia.Findings from this study provide a theoretical basis for understanding how the immune microenvironment influences the regenerative capacity of dorsal root ganglia neurons after spinal cord injury and offer novel insights into the complex processes underlying the pathobiology of spinal cord injury.

摘要Understanding the adsorption behavior of hydrogen on catalyst surfaces is critical to a comprehensive analysis of the kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).While strain engineering to enhance single hydrogen adsorption on catalysts is well-established,the mechanisms governing multiple hydrogen adsorption under strain remain unclear.In this study,we systematically investigate different adsorption structures of multi-coverage hydrogen on the Pt(111)catalyst’s surface by first-principles calculations.We propose two dimensions,“ke”and“kε”,to quantitatively describe the relationship between adsorption energy and d-band center with stress under different coverage levels.The results indicate that the above two values undergo dynamic changes under different coverage levels,proving that there are differences in the effect of stress under different H coverage conditions.Especially under high coverage,stress has a significant enhancement effect on H adsorption.Although the enhancement effect slightly decreases when hydrogen molecules are produced,there is still a significant overall enhancement,effectively suppressing the weakening of the original Pt-H adsorption caused by high coverage.We conducted theoretical verification from the perspectives of changes in adsorption energy and d-band center using these two dimensions,confirming that stress can effectively alter the d-band structure of Pt,optimize its interaction with adsorbed hydrogen,and provide a theoretical basis for further improving the HER performance of Pt catalysts under high current density by applying external stress.

摘要Carbohydrate partitioning from source to sink tissues is essential for plant growth and development.However,in maize(Zea mays L.),the molecular mechanisms by which callose synthase genes regulate this process remain largely unexplored.This study demonstrates that mutation of maize callose synthase12(Zm Cals12)results in increased carbohydrate accumulation in photosynthetic leaves but decreased carbohydrate content in sink tissues,leading to plant dwarfing and male sterility.Histochemical β-glucuronidase(GUS)activity assay and m RNA in situ hybridization(ISH)revealed that Zm Cals12 expression mainly occurs in the vascular transport system.Zm Cals12 loss-of-function decreased callose synthase activity and callose deposition in plasmodesmatas(PDs)and surrounding phloem cells(PCs)of the vascular bundle.The drop-and-see(DANS)assay indicated reduced PD permeability in photosynthetic cells and diminished transport competence of leaf veins in Zmcals12 mutants,resulting in decreased symplastic transport.Paraffin section analysis revealed that less-developed vascular cells(VCs)in Zmcals12 mutants likely disrupted sugar transport,contributing to the pleiotropic phenotype.Furthermore,impaired sugar transport inhibited internode development by suppressing auxin(IAA)biosynthesis and signaling in Zmcals12 mutant.These findings elucidate the mechanism by which Zm Cals12-mediated callose deposition and symplastic transport regulate maize growth and development.

摘要Previous studies have demonstrated that cis9,trans11,cis15-CLNA(c9,t11,c15-CLNA),a metabolite of Bifidobacterium breve CCFM683,possesses anti-inflammatory properties in the intestine.However,its safety profile remains unexplored.This study establishes the safe dose range for c9,t11,c15-CLNA and investigates the potential damage pathways.The results indicate that the maximum safe dose for mice is lower than 625 mg/kg,primarily due to hepatocyte damage.In cellular experiments revealed that an overdose of c9,t11,c15-CLNA activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma(PPAR-γ),leading to hepatic lipid accumulation.The addition of the PPAR-γinhibitor partially mitigated this effect.In summary,this study established that the maximum tolerated dose of c9,t11,c15-CLNA in healthy adult C57BL/6N mice is 625 mg/kg.For human application,the estimated safe dose is below 50.62 mg/kg.Additionally,c9,t11,c15-CLNA was found to activate the PPAR-γprotein in the liver,leading to lipid accumulation within hepatic tissue.

摘要This study aimed to investigate the effects of infant feces-derived Bifidobacterium breve CCFM1078 on rheumatoid cachexia(RC).Twenty-four female Wistar rats were assigned to 3 groups:CON group(normal saline by gavage),CIA group(collagen-induced arthritis(CIA),normal saline by gavage),and CCFM1078 group(CIA,3×109CFU/(rat·day)B.breve CCFM1078 gavage).The results demonstrated that B.breve CCFM1078 not only improved skeletal muscle function in CIA rats,but also modulated the gut microbiota,skeletal muscle metabolism and hormone levels,reduced inflammation in the knee joint and skeletal muscles,decreased activity of the nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)inflammatory signaling pathway,enhanced the insulin receptor substrate 1(IRS1)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase(PI3K/Akt)signaling pathway,promoted skeletal muscle differentiation,and maintained skeletal muscle fiber diameter,consequently slowing down the progression of RC.These findings suggested that B.breve CCFM1078 may have a beneficial role as part of a dietary intervention for RC,enhancing overall therapeutic effects.

摘要The deep-buried dolomites of the UpperEdiacaran Qigebrak Formation in the Tarim Basin possess substantial hydrocarbon potential.Although diageneticprocesses,particularlydolomitization,are recognized as critical for reservoir evolution in this formation,their specific impacts on reservoir quality remain poorly understood.This study utilizes newly acquired petrographic,stable isotope,and radiogenic isotope data,integrated with carbonate U-Pb ages and temperature data,to elucidate the relationship between dolomitization processesand reservoir evolution in the Qigebrak Formation.Seven distinct dolomite phases were identified:dolomicrite(D1),very fine crystalline dolomite(D2),fine crystalline dolomite(D3),fibrous dolomite cement(D4),bladed dolomite cement(D5),fine to medium crystalline dolomite cement(D6),and coarse crystalline saddle dolomite cement(D7).D1 and D2 exhibitδ13C and87Sr/86Sr ratios consistent with coeval Ediacaran seawater,indicating an initial syngenetic dolomitization event in restricted lagoonidal flat environments.This event formed via nearsurface dolomitization driven by the reflux of slightly evaporative seawater.D4 and D5 also precipitated in near-surface settings under seawater dolomitization conditions,but their depletedδ13C andδ18O values with elevated87Sr/86Sr ratios suggest the involvement of meteoric water in the precipitation process.In contrast,most D3 and D6 were formed through burial dolomitization at elevated temperatures.D7 originated from hydrothermaldolomitization at 135150°C,characterized by progressively depletedδ18O ratios with increasing burial depth and the mixing of 87Sr-enriched hydrothermal fluids.Notably,early syngenetic dolomitization preservedprimary poresin the Qigebrak Formation despite long-term burial,whereas later burial and hydrothermal dolomitization primarily adjusted the preexisting pore systems.This study enhances our understanding of multistage dolomitization processes in the Qigebrak Formation and provides insights for future exploration of Precambrian successions.
摘要The neutron transmission spectrum through a high-purity238 U slab(dimensions:100 mm×100 mm×20 mm)irradiated by a broad-spectrum neutron field was measured at 0°using the time-of-flight(TOF)method.The experiment was carried out at the Radioactive Ion Beam Line of the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou at the Institute of Modern Physics,Chinese Academy of Sciences.Broad-spectrum neutrons were generated by bombarding a tungsten target with 80.5 MeV/u12 C ions.GEANT4 calculations were performed under the same experimental conditions by combining the INCL++,BIC,and BERT physics models with the evaluated nuclear data libraries ENDF/B-VIII.0,JEFF-3.3,and JENDL-4.0.The calculations reproduce the measured spectrum reasonably well over most of the investigated energy range;however,they overestimate the data below 10 MeV and tend to underestimate the measured yield above 70 MeV.The present results provide benchmark information for validating neutron-transport simulations relevant to accelerator-driven systems.
摘要Background:Glioma is among the most malignant brain tumors,and its heterogeneity contributes significantly to treatment failure.Comprehensive profiling of cellular and molecular heterogeneity across different glioma stages and recurrence states is crucial for understanding therapeutic resistance and identifying novel targets.Accordingly,this study sought to systematically characterize the cellular and molecular heterogeneity of glioma across different stages and recurrence states using single-cell RNA sequencing,and to identify prognostic subtypes and potential therapeutic targets.Methods:We integrated public single-cell RNA sequencing data from glioma specimens,including lower-grade glioma(LGG),glioblastoma(GBM),and paired primary and recurrent tumors.Using these datasets,we identified distinct cellular subpopulations and their molecular signatures.Based on these glioma cell subpopulations,we reclassified gliomas from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database into molecular subtypes and constructed a prognostic model.The functional role of a key candidate gene,insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2(IGFBP2),was validated using in vitro knockdown experiments in mouse and human tumor cells and in vivo therapeutic studies in murine models,including combination therapy with anti-programmed cell death protein 1(anti-PD-1)immune checkpoint blockade.Results:This analysis revealed that T cells in GBM and recurrent samples were predominantly exhausted,characterized by upregulation of PD-1 and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing−3(Tim3),while myeloid cells exhibited an immunosuppressive phenotype with elevated expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF)and cluster of differentiation(CD)276.We identified 12 distinct glioma cell subpopulations with varying proliferative and hypoxic signatures.Based on these subpopulations,TCGA gliomas were reclassified into two major subtypes.One subtype,enriched with myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs)and regulatory T cells(Tregs),was associated with poorer patient prognosis.A prognostic model was successfully established using differentially expressed genes between the subtypes.Furthermore,IGFBP2 was highly expressed in glioma cells,and its expression negatively correlated with T cell infiltration.In vitro knockdown of IGFBP2 downregulated programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1)expression on tumor cells.In vivo,IGFBP2 knockdown significantly suppressed tumor growth(p<0.01)and extended survival in tumor-bearing mice(p<0.05),and its combination with anti-PD-1 therapy markedly enhanced antitumor efficacy.Conclusions:This study provides deeper insights into the cellular ecosystem and heterogeneity of glioma,linking specific cellular features to patient prognosis.We identify IGFBP2 may play a role in regulating immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and a potential therapeutic target.
