Un...Deep rocks encountered in underground engineering are frequently in complex in situ environments and experience both excavation disturbance during construction and cyclic loading throughout the long-term operation. Understanding the fatigue behavior of excavation-disturbed rocks in complex stress environments is critical for assessing the long-term stability of deep rock structures. Hence, an experimental method has been developed to capture the fatigue damage process of rocks while considering the in situ environment and excavation disturbance. Using this method, a series of triaxial fatigue damage experiments were conducted on Jinping deep marble samples from various in situ environments of 100 m, 1000 m, 1800 m, and 2400 m to better understand the variation in fatigue characteristics at different depths. With increasing depth, the samples experienced more cycles and greater fatigue deformation before failure. Further insights were gained into the fatigue damage behavior in terms of stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and irreversible strain accumulation. A decrease in the elastic modulus and an increase in the dissipated energy and irreversible strain exhibit an evolution pattern of initial→stabilization→acceleration, reflecting the nonlinear fatigue process that occurs inside marble. With increasing depth, marble samples have longer fatigue lives but exhibit more significant stiffness loss, energy dissipation and irrecoverable deformation accumulation;thus, evaluating the instability of deep rock structures solely using fatigue life alone is inadequate. Moreover, the previously reported inverted S-shaped evolution of fatigue damage was observed, and it was found that an increase in depth leads to an earlier onset of the accelerated fatigue damage stage with greater dominance of fatigue failure. Based on the nonlinear strain, loading cycle variable and fatigue life, a highly accurate nonlinear fatigue model was developed to describe the complete inverted S-shaped evolution pattern of fatigue damage, which demonstrated excellent practical implications for the theoretical characterization of anisotropic fatigue damage in disturbed Jinping marble.展开更多

摘要Addressing the scientific problem of unclear understanding of in-situ internal stress and its evolution in deep rock masses,a scientific definition and implementation path for the concept of in-situ internal stress consolidation-sealing in deep rock masses are proposed,and a set of in-situ internal stress consolidationsealing test device for deep rock masses has been independently developed.The device consists of a material consolidation cultivation module,an in-situ internal stress environment simulation module,and a multi-source information capture module.And the three mechanical tests of internal stress preservation,internal stress release and conventional were carried out with the device.The evolution law of the deformation parameters in the internal stress consolidation-sealing stage was studied,and the difference characteristics of the deformation parameters before and after the internal stress releasing were compared and analyzed.The results show that the internal stress consolidation-sealing significantly affects the mechanical properties of the simulated rock material,while the internal stress release leads to the damage of the material properties,suggesting that the presence and influence of internal stress should not be overlooked.This study could provide a new research direction and scientific devices for the expansion and deepening of the field of deep in-situ rock mechanics.

摘要As a specific spoilage organism of seafood under refrigerated temperature conditions,Shewanella spp.tend to form biofilms that exacerbate the occurrence of seafood spoilage.Biofilm-promoting factor A(BpfA)has been reported to promote the adhesion and biofilm formation of Shewanella spp.,but its role in adhesion and biofilm formation of S.putrefaciens under cold stress needs to be further investigated.To better comprehend the effect of BpfA on adhesion and biofilm formation of S.putrefaciens under cold stress(4℃),bacterial adhesion and biofilm phenotype of S.putrefaciens CN32 WT andΔbpfA at 4℃were analyzed and performed transcriptomics.The results showed that the deletion of bpfA had almost no effect on the growth of S.putrefaciens CN32 at 4℃,but weakened the unicellular adhesion capacity of S.putrefaciens CN32 and destabilized the stability of the multicellular adhesion layer.In addition,the biomass of the mature biofilm formed byΔbpfA was merely around 50%of that observed in the mature biofilm of S.putrefaciens CN32 WT,the average thickness and volume of the biofilm decreased by 18%and 27%,respectively,and the composition of the biofilm changed.Transcriptome analysis demonstrated that the deletion of bpfA led to differential expression of genes involved in metabolic pathways such as bacterial chemotaxis,two-component system,tyrosine metabolism,drug metabolism-other enzymes and biofilm formation-Vibrio cholerae,which in turn influenced bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation.Those results advance our acknowledgment of the character of BpfA on adhesion and biofilm formation of S.putrefaciens CN32,which contributes to understanding bacterial adhesion and the control of biofilm formation.

摘要The pathological proteinα-synuclein(α-Syn)aggregates are considered a key toxic substance responsible for the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease(PD).Clearing these pathological aggregates can potentially control PD progression at its source.However,conventional drug delivery systems face significant challenges,including the blood-brain barrier(BBB)and lack of tissue-specific targeting.To address this,we developed a core-shell hybrid system,named RExo-si-TN-T10,for the co-delivery of triptolide(T10)and small interfering RNA targetingα-Syn(siSNCA).This system comprises two components:an outer shell of exosomes(RExo)derived from BV2 microglial cells and modified with rabies virus glycoprotein peptide(RVG),and an inner core of a nanomicelle composed of phenylboronic acid derivatives:4-Nitrophenyl 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzyl carbonate(NBC)and trimethyl chitosan(TMC)for co-delivering gene and small-molecule drugs.Furthermore,we utilized cellular nanoporation(CNP)technology to significantly enhance exosome yield and transfection efficiency.This innovative nano-scavenger effectively eliminatesα-Syn aggregates and reduces their cytotoxic effects in PD-affected neurons.Following treatment with RExo-si-TN-T10,we observed significant improvement in the motor behavior of PD mice.Our findings suggest that RExo-si-TN-T10 holds promise as a therapeutic platform for PD.

摘要Walnut green husk,a byproduct of walnut processing,is rich in polyphenols with potential antidiabetic effects.However,the antidiabetic activity of walnut green husk polyphenols(WGHP)in vivo has not been reported and their mechanism of action is still unclear.This study investigated its impact on type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)in mice induced by a high-fat diet and streptozotocin.We found that WGHP improved glycolipid metabolism,reduced inflammation and oxidative stress,and protected the pancreas and liver.WGHP also reshaped the gut microbiota,lowering the Firmicutes/Bacteroidota ratio and boosting beneficial bacteria.Network pharmacology indicated that WGHP's effects are mediated by the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway,which was confirmed by increased protein expression of phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate 1(p-IRS-1),phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K),phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-AKT),and glucose transporter type 4(GLUT4)in the liver.In conclusion,these results indicate that WGHP ameliorates T2DM by modulating gut microbiota and the IRS/PI3K/AKT pathway,providing a theoretical basis for the in-depth utilization of walnut green husk.

摘要Metal sulfide,as a type of lithium/sodium-ion battery material,possesses merits such as high capacity and low cost.Nevertheless,it is prone to structural changes during the cycling process,leading to volume changes and affecting electrochemical performance.Here,we employ a gas-phase deposition method to subject the Co-Ni-NH2 precursor to hightemperature carbonization/sulfidation,which produces defective nitrogen-and sulfur-co-doped carbon-encapsulated bimetallic sulfides(CO1-xS/Ni0.96S@NC).Incorporating S into the carbon lattice facilitates the expansion of interlayer spacing,creating an environment conducive to Li+/Na+ insertion/extraction.Furthermore,leveraging the synergistic effect of bimetallic sulfides accelerates the reaction kinetics for storing alkaline metal ions and exhibits higher capacity.The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) depth profiling analysis of the cycled Co1-xS/Ni0.96S@NC reveals the stable formation of a solid electrolyte interphase(SEI) film on the sample surface,and ex situ X-ray diffraction(XRD) indicates that the storage mechanism of Co1-xS/Ni0.96S@NC involves a highly reversible conversion reaction.As a result,Co1-xS/Ni0.96S@NC as the anode for lithiumion batteries(LIBs) exhibits an outstanding capacity and demonstrates remarkable stability with a capacity retention of381.12 mAh g-1 after 800 cycles at 10 A g-1.Furthermore,the full battery LiCoO2//Co1-xS/Ni0.96S@NC is capable of attaining a discharge-specific capacity at 3 A g-1 for 154.92 mAh g-1.Besides,in sodium-ion batteries(SIBs),Co1-xS/Ni0.96S@NC maintains a specific capacity of 336.10 mAh g-1 over 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1.In summary,Co1-xS/Ni0.96S@NC,characterized by high stability and high specific capacity,emerges as a highly promising candidate material for high-performance lithium/sodium-ion batteries.

摘要As an emerging rock-breaking technology,microwave irradiation has demonstrated significant potential as an auxiliary technique for volume stimulation in hydraulic fracturing.This study focuses on tight sandstone gas extraction,introducing a hollow double-wing crack(HDWC)configuration into the research on tight sandstone.Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate microwave-induced fracturing mechanisms and the mechanical behavior of HDWC-containing sandstone,aiming to elucidate the thermal cracking patterns and underlying mechanisms under microwave irradiation conditions.To further explore the electromagnetic-thermal-mechanical(E-T-M)interactions in tight sandstone under microwave treatment,a coupled finite element method(FEM)-discrete element method(DEM)numerical model was developed.This model enabled a detailed analysis of force chain evolution and microcrack propagation within HDWC-containing sandstone.Additionally,preliminary hydraulic fracturing simulations were performed to investigate fracture initiation pressure and fracture evolution following microwave exposure.The main findings of this study are as follows:(1)Microwave heating induces thermal cracks at both the tips and midsections of the HDWC.Microwave irradiation degrades the mechanical properties of HDWC-containing sandstone.(2)Simulation results reveal that significant stress concentration and tensile-compressive zoning occur near the HDWC under microwave irradiation.Microcrack development exhibits an avalanche effect.(3)Hydraulic fracturing simulations indicate that microwave heating generally promotes hydraulic fracture generation.Microwave irradiation reduces the fracture initiation pressure and enhances the complexity and connectivity of the fracture network.These findings provide valuable insights into the application of microwave-assisted volume stimulation as a supporting technology for hydraulic fracturing in deep reservoirs.

摘要This study evaluated the spoilage potential of dominant bacteria(Shewanella putrefaciens and Pseudomonas fluorescens)on the effect of the deterioration of adenosine triphosphate-related compounds in refrigerated large yellow croaker fillets under air-packaging and modified atmosphere packaging(MAP).In this work,the total viable count(TVC),adenosine triphosphate-related compounds,and related enzyme activities were characterized in refrigerated large yellow croaker fillets inoculated spoilage bacteria.Macrogenomic analysis was employed to explore the contribution of packaging methods to metabolic pathways and related enzymes.The result demonstrated that the TVC of S.putrefaciens reached 7.85(lg(CFU/g))on day 21,exhibiting stronger potential for growth in MAP.The results showed that S.putrefaciens had a higher potential to degrade adenosine triphosphate-related compounds and produce related enzyme activities under MAP conditions than P.fluorescens.The initial value of hypoxanthine riboside(HxR)during storage in the air processing(AIRP)group was 0.76μmol/g,which reached a peak on day 3(1.71μmol/g),and the level of HxR decreased to 0.38μmol/g on day 12.The MAP group showed a similar trend to the AIRP group,but the peak appeared later than the AIRP group.The ability to degrade HxR in S.putrefaciens exhibited a significant difference in air packaging.In addition,macrogenomic analysis indicated that the degradation of inosine monophosphate(IMP)was primarily performed by 5'-nucleotidase(5'-NT).This study enhances our comprehension of the role of microorganisms in fish spoilage and provides valuable insights for the development of novel preservation methods.

摘要Infectious bone defects represent a substantial challenge in clinical practice,necessitating the deployment of advanced therapeutic strategies.This study presents a treatment modality that merges a mild photothermal therapy hydrogel with a pulsed drug delivery mechanism.The system is predicated on a hydrogel matrix that is thermally responsive,characteristic of bone defect sites,facilitating controlled and site-specific drug release.The cornerstone of this system is the incorporation of mild photothermal nanoparticles,which are activated within the temperature range of 40–43°C,thereby enhancing the precision and efficacy of drug delivery.Our findings demonstrate that the photothermal response significantly augments the localized delivery of therapeutic agents,mitigating systemic side effects and bolstering efficacy at the defect site.The synchronized pulsed release,cooperated with mild photothermal therapy,effectively addresses infection control,and promotes bone regeneration.This approach signifies a considerable advancement in the management of infectious bone defects,offering an effective and patient-centric alternative to traditional methods.Our research endeavors to extend its applicability to a wider spectrum of tissue regeneration scenarios,underscoring its transformative potential in the realm of regenerative medicine.

摘要Epilepsy affects over 50 million people worldwide.Drug-resistant epilepsy(DRE)accounts for up to a third of these cases,and neuro-inflammation is thought to play a role in such cases.Despite being a long-debated issue in the field of DRE,the mechanisms underlying neuroinflammation have yet to be fully elucidated.The pro-inflammatory microenvironment within the brain tissue of people with DRE has been probed using single-cell multimodal transcriptomics.Evidence suggests that inflammatory cells and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the nervous system can lead to extensive biochemical changes,such as connexin hemichannel excitability and disruption of neurotransmitter homeostasis.The presence of inflammation may give rise to neuronal network abnormalities that suppress endogenous antiepileptic systems.We focus on the role of neuroinflammation and brain network anomalies in DRE from multiple perspectives to identify critical points for clinical application.We hope to provide an insightful overview to advance the quest for better DRE treatments.

摘要Controllable hydrogen production via the catalytic decomposition of hydrous hydrazine(N2H4·H2O)holds significant promise for mobile and portable applications.However,current catalysts suffer from unsatisfactory reaction activity and hydrogen(H2)selectivity.Based on the unique redox properties of CeO2,this article aims to enhance the thermal catalytic performance for the decomposition of N2H4·H2O by improving metal-support interactions between the TiCeO2and NiPt active components.Meanwhile,the sea urchin-like TiCeO2support,which is more conducive to the dispersion of the NiPt nanoparticles and provides more reactive sites for the reaction,was used to immobilize Ni-Pt into the NixPt1-x/TiCeO2sample using the impregnation-reduction method.By modulating Ce doping and the Ni-Pt molar ratio,samples with different Ni-Pt compositions were synthesized.The optimal Ni0.5Pt0.5/TiCeO2(nNi:nPt=1)shows the highest catalytic performance compared with the other samples,with a TOF(turnover frequency)of 212.58 min-1and 100%hydrogen selectivity at 323 K.Furthermore,the hydrogen selectivity remains 100%after six cycles.This remarkable activity and stability provide valuable insights and encouragement for accelerating the practical application of N2H4·H2O as a viable hydrogen carrier.

摘要Chemical hydrogen storage technology is crucial for the widespread use of hydrogen,with significant research progress being made in hydrazine hydrate(N2H4·H2O).However,the efficient decomposition of N2H4·H2O remains a major challenge,hindered by dynamic constraints.To address this,we prepared NiPt nanoparticles deposited onto urchin-like TiO2(u-TiO2)using the impregnation-reduction method,resulting in the NiPt/u-TiO2catalyst.Remarkably,the Ni0.5Pt0.5/u-TiO2catalyst demonstrated 100%H2selectivity,ultrahigh catalytic activity and remarkable durability for N2H4·H2O dehydrogenation,with a turnover frequency(TOF)of115.8 min-1,surpassing that of the corresponding NiPt/commercial TiO2(c-TiO2).Characterization and experimental findings suggest that the remarkable activity may originate from the unique urchin-like structure of the catalyst,along with the synergistic interaction between NiPt metals and the support.This research opens new avenues for designing nanomaterials with morphology advantages for hydrogen evolution reaction.

摘要The mainstream method for extracting shale gas involves hydraulic fracturing to create fracture networks.However,as extraction depth increases,notable issues such as rapid production decline,low recovery rates,high water consumption,and resource waste become apparent.Identifying new and efficient auxiliary rock-breaking technologies is crucial for overcoming these challenges.The laser,successfully utilized in industrial production,medical treatment,and technological research,offers unique features such as good directionality,coherence,and high energy density,providing novel possibilities for addressing the limitations of existing deep reservoir transformation.This research focuses on a novel laser-assisted rock-breaking technology,with shale featuring different bedding angles as the subject of investigation.The investigation methodically explored how shale responded to thermal fracture at high temperatures when exposed to laser irradiation with different spot diameter.It investigates the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of the shale temperature field under laser irradiation,the propagation features of cracks on shale surface,and the physicochemical fracture mechanisms.The research yields the following results:(1)The region of thermal influence of the irradiation surface can be divided into three regions based on the change of rise curve of temperature in the shale surface.(2)Based on the scanning electron microscopy(SEM)testing,combined with the macroscopic and microscopic morphological characteristics of shale fracture surfaces,it reveals significantly distinct zoning characteristics in the roughness of the rock sample’s fracture surfaces after laser irradiation.(3)The thermal fracturing process of shale under laser irradiation involves chemical reactions of constituent minerals and stress generated by the thermal expansion of shale oil in the reservoir.(4)The damage and fracture of shale under the irradiation of laser show significant bedding effect,and there are three modes of rock sample failure:Pattern T(thermal failure),Pattern T-B(thermal and bedding synergistic failure),and Pattern B(bedding failure).The research findings presented in this article serve as a foundation and reference for the theory and technology of laser-assisted shale gas extraction.

摘要An innovative gradient inversion approach employing the natural element method within the framework of least square regularization was proposed to enhance the quantitative interpretation of self-potential(SP)data originating from mineral polarization.The results indicated that the natural element method effectively addressed the challenge of subdividing complex resistivity models and aided in the accurate forward calculation of SP.By applying this approach to synthetic SP data and lab-measured SP data associated with redox electrochemical half-cell reactions of iron−copper metal blocks within the geobattery model,the 3D fine structure of buried orebody models was successfully reconstructed and the spatial distribution of SP current sources was mapped.This study significantly contributes to understanding the quantitative relationship between the polarization process of metal deposits and their corresponding SP responses and provides a valuable reference for delineating metal deposits in both terrestrial and marine environments through SP surveys.

摘要Deep rocks encountered in underground engineering are frequently in complex in situ environments and experience both excavation disturbance during construction and cyclic loading throughout the long-term operation. Understanding the fatigue behavior of excavation-disturbed rocks in complex stress environments is critical for assessing the long-term stability of deep rock structures. Hence, an experimental method has been developed to capture the fatigue damage process of rocks while considering the in situ environment and excavation disturbance. Using this method, a series of triaxial fatigue damage experiments were conducted on Jinping deep marble samples from various in situ environments of 100 m, 1000 m, 1800 m, and 2400 m to better understand the variation in fatigue characteristics at different depths. With increasing depth, the samples experienced more cycles and greater fatigue deformation before failure. Further insights were gained into the fatigue damage behavior in terms of stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and irreversible strain accumulation. A decrease in the elastic modulus and an increase in the dissipated energy and irreversible strain exhibit an evolution pattern of initial→stabilization→acceleration, reflecting the nonlinear fatigue process that occurs inside marble. With increasing depth, marble samples have longer fatigue lives but exhibit more significant stiffness loss, energy dissipation and irrecoverable deformation accumulation;thus, evaluating the instability of deep rock structures solely using fatigue life alone is inadequate. Moreover, the previously reported inverted S-shaped evolution of fatigue damage was observed, and it was found that an increase in depth leads to an earlier onset of the accelerated fatigue damage stage with greater dominance of fatigue failure. Based on the nonlinear strain, loading cycle variable and fatigue life, a highly accurate nonlinear fatigue model was developed to describe the complete inverted S-shaped evolution pattern of fatigue damage, which demonstrated excellent practical implications for the theoretical characterization of anisotropic fatigue damage in disturbed Jinping marble.

摘要Bigeye tuna is a protein-rich fish that is susceptible to spoilage during cold storage,however,there is limited information on untargeted metabolomic profiling of bigeye tuna concerning spoilage-associated enzymes and metabolites.This study aimed to investigate how cold storage affects enzyme activities,nutrient composition,tissue microstructures and spoilage metabolites of bigeye tuna.The activities of cathepsins B,H,L increased,while Na+/K+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase decreased,α-glucosidase,lipase and lipoxygenase first increased and then decreased during cold storage,suggesting that proteins undergo degradation and ATP metabolism occurs at a faster rate during cold storage.Nutrient composition(moisture and lipid content),total amino acids decreased,suggesting that the nutritional value of bigeye tuna was reduced.Besides,a logistic regression equation has been established as a food analysis tool and assesses the dynamics and correlation of the enzyme of bigeye tuna during cold storage.Based on untargeted metabolomic profiling analysis,a total of 524 metabolites were identified in the bigeye tuna contained several spoilage metabolites involved in lipid metabolism(glycerophosphocholine and choline phosphate),amino acid metabolism(L-histidine,5-deoxy-5′-(methylthio)adenosine,5-methylthioadenosine),carbohydrate metabolism(D-gluconic acid,α-D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate,D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate).The results of tissue microstructures of tuna showed a looser network and visible deterioration of tissue fiber during cold storage.Therefore,metabolomic analysis and tissue microstructures provide insight into the spoilage mechanism investigations on bigeye tuna during cold storage.
