The influence of oxygen(O) content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cold rolled Ti-32.5 Nb-6.8 Zr-2.7 Sn-xO(TNZS-xO; x = 0,0.3.0.6; mass%) alloys after aging at temperature range from 350 to 600...The influence of oxygen(O) content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cold rolled Ti-32.5 Nb-6.8 Zr-2.7 Sn-xO(TNZS-xO; x = 0,0.3.0.6; mass%) alloys after aging at temperature range from 350 to 600℃ for 24 h was investigated. Results showed that the cold rolled TNZS-xO alloys possess single βphase. During the aging process, O could not only effectively suppress the precipitation of ω phase but also retard the formation and decomposition of a phase. In addition, the corresponding temperatures of the maximal volume fraction of α phase precipitation and the(α+β)/β transus temperatures of the TNZS-xO alloys were all increased with the increasing of O content. For mechanical properties, it was found that the strength and Young's modulus of the TNZS-xO alloys increased owing to the ω phase and/or a phase precipitation and decreased owing to the a phase decomposition. However, the elongation showed the opposite change tendency with the above mentioned strength. The mechanical properties of TNZS-xO alloys can be controlled over a wide range by subjecting to aging treatment and/or changing their 0 content. When aged at or below 450 ℃,the TNZS-xO alloys exhibit great potential to become a series of new candidates for biomedical applications since they possess high strength(870-1460 MPa), low Young's modulus(45.1-75.6 GPa), high strength-to-modulus ratio(0.018-0.02) and appropriate elongation(7.2%-14.9%), which are superior to those of Ti-6 Al-4 V alloy and suitable for the use as bio-implant materials.展开更多

We wished to investigate the efficacy of antioxidant administration in protecting stem cell microenvironments and promoting bone marrow vasculature recovery after radiation treatment. The antioxidant ascorbic acid was administered 3 times at a dosage: 150 mg/kg/day to experimenttal groups 3 days before targeted radiation by a unique Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP). Histological staining indicated that antioxidant treated mice had less severe bone marrow damage 1 week after irradiation with substantial marrow cellular recovery 4 weeks later. Flow cytometry analysis showed that antioxidant administration was correlated with a rebound in MSC quantity in bone marrow. Anti-oxidant treatment was also observed to allow for better vasculature retention and recovery through angiographic imaging. Our data suggests that pre-treatment with ascorbic acid serves to improve bone marrow microenvironments for bone marrow stem cells after radiation treatment.展开更多

摘要Photodynamic therapy is a highly recommended alternative treatment for solid tumors,such as cutaneous or luminal tumors,in clinical practice.However,conventional photosensitizers(PSs)often induce undesirable phototoxic effects because of their normal tissue distribution and a reduction in antitumor effects resulting from aggregation-caused quenching effects.The present study developed a novel nanoformulated aggregation-induced emission(AIE)-characteristic PS,nab-TTVPHE,which is composed of human serum albumin as a carrier and TTVPHE as a therapeutic agent,as a more effective cancer treatment with lower phototoxic effects.Notably,the reactive oxygen species generated by TTVPHE were shielded by the nanoaggregate structure,and the photodynamic activity was after nanostructure dissociation.Nab-TTVPHE was actively internalized in tumor cells via secreted protein,acidic and rich in cysteine and released to form nanoaggregates.TTVPHE accumulated in mitochondria,where it triggered mitochondrial damage under light irradiation via its photodynamic activity and induced pyroptosis via the caspase-3/gasdermin E(GSDME)signaling pathway to kill tumor cells.Therefore,this nano-formulated AIE-characteristic PS provides an innovative strategy for cancer treatment with lower phototoxic effect and the ability to boost potential antitumor immunity via GSDME-mediated pyroptosis.

摘要Solid-state sodium-ion batteries with sodium metal anodes possess high safety and reliability,which are considered as a promising candidate for the next generation of energy storage technology.However,poor electronic and ionic conductivities at the interface between electrodes and solid-state electrolytes restrict its practical application.Herein,we demonstrate a β″-Al2O3 electrolyte with a vertically porousdense bilayer structure to solve this problem.The carbon-coated vertically porous layer serves as a high mass-loading host for Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode and provides fast electronically and ionically conductive pathways.In addition,the dense layer is produced to prevent sodium dendrite growth and improve mechanical strength of β″-Al2O3 electrolyte.Experimental results show that the cathode loading in vertically porous layer can reach to 8 mg cm-2,and the porous-dense bilayer β″-Al2O3 electrolyte-based battery exhibits a reversible specific capacity of 87 mAh g-1 and a capacity retention of 95.5%over 100 cycles at a current density of 0.1 C,which is superior to that of the traditional dense β″-Al2O3 electrolytebased battery.This work based on electrolyte structure design represents an efficient strategy for the development of solid-state sodium-ion batteries with high mass-loading cathode.

摘要Background:Minimally invasive surgeries are increasingly central to modern medicine,particularly in liver transplantation.These techniques,which offer reduced trauma,precise operations,minimal bleeding,and swift recovery,are,however,unevenly adopted across China.Only a limited number of centers routinely perform minimally invasive donor hepatectomies,indicating a significant imbalance in the development and application of these advanced procedures.Additionally,there lacks a set of standardized guidelines that are tailored to meet China’s unique healthcare challenges and conditions.Methods:In August 2023,the Branch of Organ Transplant of Chinese Medical Association and the Branch of Organ Transplant Physicians of Chinese Medical Doctor Association convened a group of national liver transplantation experts to establish a guideline development committee.This committee conducted a thorough review of relevant literature,evaluated existing guidelines and consensus,and assessed factors such as the evidence base,patient preferences,and the cost-effectiveness of interventions within China.After multiple rounds of discussions,both online and offline,the committee finalized the guidelines.Results:This collaborative effort led to the creation of the“Chinese guidelines for minimally invasive donor hepatectomy in living donor liver transplantation(2024 edition)”.These guidelines address crucial aspects such as the safety and advantages of minimally invasive surgery for living donor liver transplantation,donor selection criteria,anesthesia strategies,surgical technical details,and learning curves associated with these procedures,resulting in a comprehensive set of 26 recommendations.Conclusions:The formulation of these guidelines represents a significant advancement towards standardizing minimally invasive liver transplantation surgeries in China.They are designed to enhance outcomes for both donors and recipients by synthesizing expert consensus with contemporary research and clinical practices.Moreover,they serve as a crucial reference for surgeons and medical institutions,promoting the refinement and adoption of minimally invasive surgical techniques in liver transplantation.

摘要The Heat shock proteins(HSPs)are a group of molecular chaperones that play a crucial role in cell response to various stresses.A full-length cDNA of the heat shock protein 90(PuHsp90)was cloned and sequenced from the clam Paphia undulata.Phylogenetic analysis revealed that PuHsp90 grouped with the Hsp90 from other metazoan species.Expression of PuHsp90 was highly detected in the gonad,followed by digest gland,gills and heart but was found poorly expressed in mantle,adductor muscle and hemocytes.After a heat shock stress at 32℃up-regulation of PuHsp90 was detected in the mantle,adductor muscle,gills and hemocytes.Maximal expression levels occurred at 4 h after the heat shock and up-regulation is indicative of protein denaturation and of an increase in energy consumption.In contrast after the heat shock,PuHsp90 was continuously down-regulated in the digestive gland and in the gonad suggesting modifications of the biochemical pathways and energy budgets involved in the synthesis of other protein,such as catalase and of other Hsp proteins.These results reveal that PuHsp90 may play an important role in the clam response to a temperature stress.
