The 308 L weld metal shows a higher content of δ ferrite than the 309 L weld metal. In addition, no obvious Cr-depletion but carbides precipitation at δ phase boundaries was observed in both 308 L and 309 L weld metals. The slow strain rate tension tests showed that the SCC susceptibility of the base and weld metals of the dissimilar metal weld joint follows the order of SA508 < 308 L weld metal < the heat affected zone of 316 L base metal < 309 L weld metal.The higher SCC susceptibility of 309 L weld metal than that of 308 L weld metal is likely due to the lower content of δ ferrite. In addition, a preferential SCC initiation in the 309 L weld metal adjacent to 308 L weld metal is attributed to few carbides in this region.展开更多

Recently, one study resolved the structure of the transient receptor potential melastatin 2(TRPM2) channel from Nematostella vectensis(nvTRPM2). This identified a calcium-binding site in the S2–S3 loop, while its effect on channel gating remains unclear. Here, we investigated the role of this calcium-binding site in both nvTRPM2 and human TRPM2(hTRPM2) by mutagenesis and patch-clamp recording. Unlike hTRPM2, nvT RPM2 cannot be activated by calcium alone. Moreover, the inactivation rate of nvTRPM2 was decreased as intracellular calcium concentration was increased. In addition, our results showed that the four key residues in the calcium-binding site of S2–S3 loop have similar effects on the gating processes of nvTRPM2 and hTRPM2. Among them, the mutations at negatively charged residues(glutamate and aspartate) substantially decreased the currents of nvT RPM2 and hTRPM2. This suggests that these sites are essential for calcium-dependent channel gating. For the charge-neutralizing residues(glutamine and asparagine) in the calcium-binding site, our data showed that glutamine mutating to alanine or glutamate did not affect the channel activity, but glutamine mutating to lysine caused loss of function. Asparagine mutating to aspartate still remained functional, while asparagine mutating to alanine or lysine led to little channel activity. These results suggest that the side chain of glutamine has a less contribution to channel gating than does asparagine. However, our data indicated that both glutamine mutating to alanine or glutamate and asparagine mutating to aspartate accelerated the channel inactivation rate, suggesting that the calcium-binding site in the S2–S3 loop is important for calcium-dependent channel inactivation. Taken together, our results uncovered the effect of four key residues in the S2–S3 loop of TRPM2 on the TRPM2 gating process.展开更多

摘要Photoacoustic computed tomography(PACT)is an emerging biomedical imaging modality that uniquely combines high spatial resolution with deep penetration,holding great promise for noninvasive mapping of tissue oxygen saturation(sO2)—a critical biomarker in metabolism and pathophysiology.However,achieving accurate quantitative sO2 mapping is fundamentally challenged by the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of opticalfluence,which leads to the spectral coloring effect and severely distorts measurements in deep tissue.This review systematically summarizes the evolution of quantitative PACT oximetry,critically analyzing techniques devised to overcome this bottleneck.We explore the limitations of linear unmixing and provide a focused analysis of advanced correction strategies,including photon transport modeling,acoustic-spectrum-based self-calibration,multimodality fusion,statistical inference,and learning-based approaches.By synthesizing and contrasting the strengths and weaknesses of these diverse approaches,this review aims to serve as a comprehensive reference for researchers,supporting the development of robust oximetry techniques and facilitating the clinical translation of PACT.

摘要Stress corrosion cracking(SCC) of an SA508-309 L/308 L–316 L dissimilar metal weld joint in primary pressurized water reactor environment was investigated by the interrupted slow strain rate tension tests following a microstructure characterization. The 308 L weld metal shows a higher content of δ ferrite than the 309 L weld metal. In addition, no obvious Cr-depletion but carbides precipitation at δ phase boundaries was observed in both 308 L and 309 L weld metals. The slow strain rate tension tests showed that the SCC susceptibility of the base and weld metals of the dissimilar metal weld joint follows the order of SA508 < 308 L weld metal < the heat affected zone of 316 L base metal < 309 L weld metal.The higher SCC susceptibility of 309 L weld metal than that of 308 L weld metal is likely due to the lower content of δ ferrite. In addition, a preferential SCC initiation in the 309 L weld metal adjacent to 308 L weld metal is attributed to few carbides in this region.

摘要As a crucial signaling molecule, calcium plays a critical role in many physiological and pathological processes by regulating ion channel activity. Recently, one study resolved the structure of the transient receptor potential melastatin 2(TRPM2) channel from Nematostella vectensis(nvTRPM2). This identified a calcium-binding site in the S2–S3 loop, while its effect on channel gating remains unclear. Here, we investigated the role of this calcium-binding site in both nvTRPM2 and human TRPM2(hTRPM2) by mutagenesis and patch-clamp recording. Unlike hTRPM2, nvT RPM2 cannot be activated by calcium alone. Moreover, the inactivation rate of nvTRPM2 was decreased as intracellular calcium concentration was increased. In addition, our results showed that the four key residues in the calcium-binding site of S2–S3 loop have similar effects on the gating processes of nvTRPM2 and hTRPM2. Among them, the mutations at negatively charged residues(glutamate and aspartate) substantially decreased the currents of nvT RPM2 and hTRPM2. This suggests that these sites are essential for calcium-dependent channel gating. For the charge-neutralizing residues(glutamine and asparagine) in the calcium-binding site, our data showed that glutamine mutating to alanine or glutamate did not affect the channel activity, but glutamine mutating to lysine caused loss of function. Asparagine mutating to aspartate still remained functional, while asparagine mutating to alanine or lysine led to little channel activity. These results suggest that the side chain of glutamine has a less contribution to channel gating than does asparagine. However, our data indicated that both glutamine mutating to alanine or glutamate and asparagine mutating to aspartate accelerated the channel inactivation rate, suggesting that the calcium-binding site in the S2–S3 loop is important for calcium-dependent channel inactivation. Taken together, our results uncovered the effect of four key residues in the S2–S3 loop of TRPM2 on the TRPM2 gating process.

摘要Lightweight and high-toughness carbon fiber/phenolic ablator(CFPA)is required as the Thermal Protection System(TPS)material of aerospace vehicles for next-generation space missions.To improve the ablative properties,silica sol with good particle size distribution prepared using tetramethoxysilane(TMOS)was blended with natural rubber latex and deposited onto carbon fiber felt,which was then integrated with phenolic aerogel matrix,introducing nano-silica into the framework of CFPA.The modified CFPA with a low density of 0.28—0.31 g/cm3exhibits strain-in-fracture as high as 31.2%and thermal conductivity as low as 0.054 W/(m·K).Furthermore,a trace amount of nano-silica could effectively protect CFPA from erosion of oxidizing atmosphere in different high-temperature environments.The oxyacetylene ablation test of 3000°C for 20 s shows a mass ablation rate of 0.0225 g/s,a linear ablation rate of 0.209 mm/s for the modified CFPA,which are 9.64%and 24.82%lower than the unmodified one.Besides,the long-time butane ablation test of 1200°C for 200 s shows an insignificant recession with mass and linear ablation rate of 0.079 g/s and 0.039 mm/s,16.84%and 13.33%lower than the unmodified one.Meanwhile,the fixed thermocouple in the test also demonstrates a good thermal insulation performance with a low peak back-face temperature of 207.7°C,12.25%lower than the unmodified one.Therefore,the nano-silica modified CFPA with excellent overall performance presents promising prospects in high-temperature aerospace applications.

摘要We present a high-performance terahertz(THz)radiation source based on the photon-activated charge domain(PACD)quenched mode of GaAs photoconductive antennas(GaAs PCA).The THz radiation characteristics of the GaAs PCA under different operating modes are studied.Compared with the linear mode,the intensity of THz wave radiated by the GaAs PCA can be greatly enhanced due to the avalanche multiplication effect of carriers in the PACD quenched mode.The results show that when the carrier multiplication ratio is 16.92,the peak-to-peak value of THz field radiated in the PACD quenched mode increases by as much as about 4.19 times compared to the maximum values in the linear mode.

摘要Potassium-selenium(K-Se)batteries have attracted more and more attention because of their high theoretical specific capacity and natural abundance of K resources.However,dissolution of polyselenides,large volume expansion during cycling and low utilization of Se remain great challenges,leading to poor rate capability and cycle life.Herein,N/O dual-doped carbon nanofibers with interconnected micro/mesopores(MMCFs)are designed as hosts to manipulate Se molecular configuration for advanced flexible K-Se batteries.The micropores play a role in confining small Se molecule(Se2–3),which could inhibit the formation of polyselenides and work as physical barrier to stabilize the cycle performance.While the mesopores can confine long-chain Se(Se4–7),promising sufficient Se loading and contributing to higher discharge voltage of the whole Se@MMCFs composite.The N/O co-doping and the 3D interpenetrating nanostructure improve electrical conductivity and keep the structure integrity after cycling.The obtained Se2–3/Se4–7@MMCFs electrode exhibits an unprecedented cycle life(395 mA h g−1 at 1 A g−1 after 2000 cycles)and high specific energy density(400 Wh kg−1,nearly twice the specific energy density of the Se2–3@MMCFs).This study offers a rational design for the realization of a high energy density and long cycle life chalcogen cathode for energy storage.

摘要As a traditional Chinese herbal medicine,Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus(SC)has been used in medicine and food industry due to its health care and therapeutic effects.Over the past 20 years,the use of SC and its active ingredient lignans in the prevention and treatment of liver diseases has been increasing,and their hepatoprotective effects has increased the interest of the public and academia.Therefore,in the present work,we first determined the effectiveness of SC in the treatment of liver diseases such as metabolic associated fatty liver disease,alcoholic liver disease,cholestatic liver disease and acute liver injury.Subsequently,the pharmacological effects and molecular mechanisms of lignans,the active components of SC,for liver disease treatment were comprehensively summarized for the first time.The results showed that the lignans in SC could achieve hepatoprotective effects by regulating lipid metabolism,anti-fibrosis,anti-inflammation,anti-oxidation,anti-tumor and regulating bile acid metabolism.The mechanism mainly involved adenosine 5’-monophosphate-activated protein kinase,endoplasmic reticulum stress,sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c,autophagy,transforming growth factor-β,mitogen-activated protein kinase,microRNA,nuclear factor kappa-B,nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2,heat shock proteins and pregnane X receptor signaling pathways.These results can lay a scientific foundation for the development of hepatoprotective drugs or functional foods from SC/lignans.

摘要The polysulfides shuttle effect,sluggish sulfur redox kinetics and the corrosion of the Li anode have become important factors limiting the commercial application of lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs).Herein,the polyoxometalate(POM)nanoclusters with high catalytic activity and cobalt selenide with strong polarity are initially complemented to construct a PMo12/CoSe2@NC/CNTs multifunctional separator that can simultaneously solve the above problems.A series of experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that the Keggin-type POM,H3PMo12O40nH2O(PMo12)nanoclusters could function as catalytic centers for sulfur-involved transformations,with the CoSe2nanoparticles serving as adsorption sites for soluble polysulfides.Accordingly,the assembled battery with the PMo12/CoSe2@NC/CNTs modified separator achieves an initial discharge capacity of 1263.79 mA h g-1,maintaining 635.77 mA h g-1,with a capacity decay rate of 0.06%per cycle after 500 cycles at 3C.This work provides a strategic approach for incorporating POM nanoclusters with polar periodic nanomaterials in LSB separators,contributing to the development of multifunctional separator materials,thus promoting the advancement of energy storage systems.

摘要Lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries are regarded as the most formidable competitor to lithium-ion batteries due to their superior theoretical capacity.However,the negative impact of soluble lithium polysulfide(LiPSs)and slow redox reaction kinetics seriously hamper the commercialization of Li-S batteries.In this study,a defect-rich single-atom catalyst with an oversaturated asymmetric Fe-N5coordination structure anchored in defective g-C3N4(C3N4-Fe@rGO)is designed via an absorption-pyrolysis strategy.The two-dimensional(2D)conducting C3N4@graphene structure with abundant defect sites accelerates the trans-fer and transportation of lithium ions and electrons.The oversaturated asymmetric Fe-N5coordination structure effectively improves the adsorbility of LiPSs and accelerates the redox kinetics of sulfur species.Hence,the Li-S cell with a C3N4-Fe@rGO modified separator reveals a high initial capacity(1197.1 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C)and a low capacity decay rate(0.037%per cycle after 900 cycles at 1 C).Even at high sulfur loading and extreme temperatures of 0℃,it also shows good cycling performance.This work creates ideas for synthesizing oversaturated single-atom coordination environments and an efficient route to the practical realization of the Li-S batteries.

摘要Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy is a novel imaging technique that combines the advantages of optical and ultrasound imaging,enabling high-resolution visualization of biological tissues at the micrometer scale.However,the divergence of the excited Gaussian beam limits the depth-of-field of the system to less than 100μm,which hinders accurate three-dimensional imaging of living tissues and restrictsits applicability in biological research.Therefore,there is an urgent need for an effective method to enhance the depth-of-field without altering the hardware configuration.This paper presents a photoacoustic microscopy depth-of-field extension method and system based on three-dimensional continuity and sparsity deconvolution.This method utilizes a depth-varying point spread function and incorporates continuity and sparsity con-straints into the deconvolution process to mitigate the effect of background noise,enhancing the stability and accuracy of the depth-of-field extension.Experimental results using tungsten wire phantoms suggest that the depth-of-field of system can be extended to 650 pm,which is 7.2 times greater than conventional system,while improving the resolution of the defocused region by an average factor of 3.5.Furthermore,experiments on zebrafish and nude mouse ears with irregular topologies demonstrate that the proposed method successfully overcomes image blurring and the loss of structural information due to limited depth-of-field.All the results suggest that the system with higher lateral resolution and enhanced depth-of-field has significant potential for a wide range of practical biomedical applications.
摘要Clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC)has a high risk of postoperative recurrence and metastasis.Accurate differentiation between ccRCC lung metastases and secondary primary lung cancer is crucial for clinical management.A 69-year-old male with a history of partial nephrectomy for ccRCC was found to have a right upper lobe pulmonary lesion during follow-up.To clarify the diagnosis,18F-fluorodeoxyglucose(18F-FDG)positron emission tomography/computed tomography(PET/CT)and CD70-targeted 18F-RCCB6 immuno-PET/CT were performed sequentially.18F-RCCB6 immuno-PET/CT showed markedly lower tumor uptake than 18F-FDG PET/CT,strongly indicating a primary lung lesion rather than metastatic ccRCC.This case highlights the complementary role of 18F-FDG PET/CT and 18F-RCCB6 immuno-PET/CT in distinguishing ccRCC metastases from secondary primary lung cancer,providing critical guidance for clinical decision-making in patients with suspected pulmonary lesions and ccRCC history.
