Until recently, the functions of border-associated macrophages have been poorly understood and largely overlooked. However, a recent study reported that border-associated macrophages participate in stroke-induced inflammation, although many details and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive single-cell analysis of mouse border-associated macrophages using sequencing data obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database(GSE174574 and GSE225948). Differentially expressed genes were identified, and enrichment analysis was performed to identify the transcription profile of border-associated macrophages. CellChat analysis was conducted to determine the cell communication network of border-associated macrophages. Transcription factors were predicted using the ‘pySCENIC' tool. We found that, in response to hypoxia, borderassociated macrophages underwent dynamic transcriptional changes and participated in the regulation of inflammatory-related pathways. Notably, the tumor necrosis factor pathway was activated by border-associated macrophages following ischemic stroke. The pySCENIC analysis indicated that the activity of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(Stat3) was obviously upregulated in stroke, suggesting that Stat3 inhibition may be a promising strategy for treating border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation. Finally, we constructed an animal model to investigate the effects of border-associated macrophages depletion following a stroke. Treatment with liposomes containing clodronate significantly reduced infarct volume in the animals and improved neurological scores compared with untreated animals. Taken together, our results demonstrate comprehensive changes in border-associated macrophages following a stroke, providing a theoretical basis for targeting border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation in stroke treatment.展开更多

摘要Rock slope instability is a prevalent geological hazard that imposes significant adverse impacts on engineering activities.Although existing studies have focused on homogeneous rock slopes,the theoretical models for quantifying the stability of softhard interbedded anti-inclined slopes remain underdeveloped,primarily due to the complex force transfer mechanisms involved.This study proposed a novel theoretical model for the stability analysis of soft-hard interbedded anti-inclined slopes under rainfall conditions.The framework models stratified rock layers as layered cantilever beams with material heterogeneity.Based on the principle of deformation compatibility,it comprehensively accounted for interlayer force transfer and strength degradation resulting from differential deformations among rock layers.Furthermore,it integrated the critical instability length induced by the self-weight of rock layers to determine the fracture depth.The proposed method was validated against engineering case studies and physical model tests,with error falling within an acceptable range.Compared to existing theoretical methods,the proposed method provided a more realistic representation of the slope's stress field.The analysis results demonstrate that rainfall not only reduces the inclination angle of the failure surface but also leads to an approximate 30%decrease in the safety factor.The proposed theoretical model is particularly useful for quickly calculating the stability of soft-hard interbedded anti-inclined rock slope under rainfall conditions,compared to complex and time-consuming numerical simulation calculations.

摘要This paper investigates the reliability of internal marine combustion engines using an integrated approach that combines Fault Tree Analysis(FTA)and Bayesian Networks(BN).FTA provides a structured,top-down method for identifying critical failure modes and their root causes,while BN introduces flexibility in probabilistic reasoning,enabling dynamic updates based on new evidence.This dual methodology overcomes the limitations of static FTA models,offering a comprehensive framework for system reliability analysis.Critical failures,including External Leakage(ELU),Failure to Start(FTS),and Overheating(OHE),were identified as key risks.By incorporating redundancy into high-risk components such as pumps and batteries,the likelihood of these failures was significantly reduced.For instance,redundant pumps reduced the probability of ELU by 31.88%,while additional batteries decreased the occurrence of FTS by 36.45%.The results underscore the practical benefits of combining FTA and BN for enhancing system reliability,particularly in maritime applications where operational safety and efficiency are critical.This research provides valuable insights for maintenance planning and highlights the importance of redundancy in critical systems,especially as the industry transitions toward more autonomous vessels.

摘要Border-associated macrophages are located at the interface between the brain and the periphery, including the perivascular spaces, choroid plexus, and meninges. Until recently, the functions of border-associated macrophages have been poorly understood and largely overlooked. However, a recent study reported that border-associated macrophages participate in stroke-induced inflammation, although many details and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive single-cell analysis of mouse border-associated macrophages using sequencing data obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database(GSE174574 and GSE225948). Differentially expressed genes were identified, and enrichment analysis was performed to identify the transcription profile of border-associated macrophages. CellChat analysis was conducted to determine the cell communication network of border-associated macrophages. Transcription factors were predicted using the ‘pySCENIC' tool. We found that, in response to hypoxia, borderassociated macrophages underwent dynamic transcriptional changes and participated in the regulation of inflammatory-related pathways. Notably, the tumor necrosis factor pathway was activated by border-associated macrophages following ischemic stroke. The pySCENIC analysis indicated that the activity of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(Stat3) was obviously upregulated in stroke, suggesting that Stat3 inhibition may be a promising strategy for treating border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation. Finally, we constructed an animal model to investigate the effects of border-associated macrophages depletion following a stroke. Treatment with liposomes containing clodronate significantly reduced infarct volume in the animals and improved neurological scores compared with untreated animals. Taken together, our results demonstrate comprehensive changes in border-associated macrophages following a stroke, providing a theoretical basis for targeting border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation in stroke treatment.

摘要Ship emissions significantly impact coastal air quality,with the Yangtze River Delta(YRD)region accounting for approximately 50%of China's total shipping emissions.Using the Community Multiscale Air Quality(CMAQ)model and process analysis(PA)tool,we quantitatively assessed how atmospheric processes(emissions,chemical reactions,transport,and deposition)contribute to PM2.5and O3,and the chemical pathways of O3formation due to ship emissions.Ship emissions significantly enhanced PM2.5concentrations(>5μg/m3)in the coastal areas of Jiangsu province and offshore regions,with diminishing inland effects.Ship-induced NO3-showed greater inland penetration compared to SO42-,which remained near the coast.In coastal cities,aerosol processes,rather than primary emissions,dominated PM2.5formation,highlighting the importance of secondary formation.O3responses varied spatially,showing coastal titration zones but inland enhancements.Process analysis revealed that vertical transport dominated O3distribution in coastal regions(5-10 ppb),whereas chemical processes showed strong negative contributions(below-10 ppb)along shipping routes.The impact exhibited pronounced diurnal variations,peaking during afternoon hours(14:00-17:00 local standard time(LST),up to 10 ppb/h)with morning titration effects(up to-7.5 ppb/h at 08:00 LST).The vertical profile analysis of shipping-related O3showed surface-level O3titration from ship NOxemissions,with impacts extending to higher layers through vertical mixing.Integrated reaction rate analysis revealed that effective O3control in shipping-influenced regions requires coordinated reduction of both NOxand VOCs.These findings provide insights for developing targeted control strategies,particularly for addressing the complex NOx-O3chemistry and secondary PM2.5formation.

摘要Dewatering in multilayered aquifers is closely related to stratigraphic configuration.However,previous studies concentrate on the excavation response to dewatering in particular strata,lacking systematic study on the influence of stratum configuration.This study developed a hydro-mechanical coupled numerical model based on the practical engineering of Shanghai Tower deep excavation.The model and input parameters were validated by field measurements.Besides,a parametric study was conducted to investigate the effect of the thickness,permeability and depth of the aquitard on excavation performances.The analysis indicated that settlements in the excavation were insensitive to the thicknesses and permeability of aquitards,while ground surface settlement increased significantly with the increase of the confined aquifer thickness.Based on the numerical analysis,a fit relationship was established to predict the maximum ground settlements of deep excavation in Shanghai considering the excavation depth,groundwater drawdown and distribution of multilayered aquifers.The applicability of the fit equation was verified by field measurements.

摘要In recent years,the issue of water resource pollution has been increasing globally.It poses a potential threat to human health and agricultural production in the coal-mining region of Southwest China.This study evaluated the suitability of water resources for domestic and agricultural purposes and provided reasonable proposals for drinking and irrigation purposes.A total of 48 water samples were collected in the mining area.The study focused on applying hydrochemical characterization to show the predominant water types,the entropy weight quality index(EWQI),and the irrigation water quality index(IWQI)to ascertain the suitability of drinking and irrigation and sensitivity analysis to identify sensitive factors.Karst and Clastic fissured groundwaters were classified as Ca-HCO3type,whereas Coal mining and Surface fluvial water were determined to be of the Ca-SO4and mixed Ca-Mg-SO4types,indicating the influence of coal mining activities on the content of sulfate and dissolution of some carbonatites(dolomite).EWQI analysis of various excessive elements revealed that 47.9%of water samples were suitable for drinking purposes.The samples exhibiting poor water quality were sourced from the coal mining areas and the coal gangue mountains located upstream.According to both excellent and extremely poor percentages of different sample types,the ranking of the water quality suitability was as follows:Clastic fissured groundwater,Karst groundwater,Surface fluvial water,and Coal mining groundwater.IWQI revealed that 54.17%of the water resources in the study area were classified as suitable for irrigation use,whereas 8.33%were deemed unsuitable for irrigation purposes.Furthermore,the geospatial analysis indicated that there was no significant difference in irrigation water quality between the upstream and downstream regions.The ANOVA test further confirmed that the drinking water quality of Coal mining groundwater was adversely influenced by coal mining activities.Sensitivity analysis proved that the assessment results of EWQI and IWQI were reliable.Moreover,the sensitivity analysis illuminated that iron(Fe)had a substantial impact on EWQI values(2.41%≤SFe≤5.74%),further explaining that coal mining caused poor drinking water quality.Based on these findings,the study proffered some management recommendations for agricultural irrigation and human consumption in coal mining regions worldwide,including standardizing coal mining operations,protecting the soil environment,using advanced decontamination techniques,and implementing sustainable water quality management.

摘要The hull structure may collapse or deform severely under fire conditions.In this study,the safety of a ship's cabin structure under fire is evaluated using a dual-zone large eddy fire scenario simulation method and a sequential thermo-mechanical coupling analysis method.Taking a three-compartment section of a naval surface ship as a case study,a machinery room fire scenario was simulated and the fire temperature field was analyzed.Through a dedicated data interface,the full-field time-varying temperature loads were mapped to the finite element model of the compartment section,thereby achieving thermo-mechanical coupled analysis of the cabin structure.The effects of thermal expansion on the hull structure under rising fire temperatures were considered in the evaluation of the residual load-bearing capacity of the cabin.The results indicate that the residual load-bearing capacity of the compartment is closely linked to the fire development stage.Temperature not only significantly affects the mechanical properties of steel but also influences the structural load-bearing capacity through thermally stresses.

摘要The Wufeng–Longmaxi Formation derives its name from the Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation and the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation,found in sequence in the Sichuan Basin.This formation hosts rich shale gas reservoirs,and its shale gas enrichment patterns are examined in this study using data from 1197 shale samples collected from 14 wells.Five basic and three key parameters,eight in all,are assessed for each sample.The five basic parameters include burial depth and the contents of four mineral types—quartz,clay,carbonate,and other minerals;the three key parameters,representing shale gas enrichment,are total organic carbon(TOC)content,porosity,and gas content.The SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)analysis originated in game theory is used here in an interpretable machine learning framework,to address issues of heterogeneous data structure,noisy relationships,and multi-objective optimization.An evaluation of the ranking,contribution values,and conditions of changes for these parameters offers new quantitative insights into shale gas enrichment patterns.A quantitative analysis of the relationship between data-sets identifies the primary factors controlling TOC,porosity,and gas content of shale gas reservoirs.The results show that TOC and porosity jointly influence gas content;mineral content has a significant impact on both,TOC and porosity;and the burial depth governs porosity which,in turn,affects the conditions under which shale gas is preserved.Input parameter thresholds are also determined and provide a basis for the establishment of quantitative criteria to evaluate shale gas enrichment.The predictive accuracy of the model used in this study is significantly improved by the step-wise addition of two input parameters,namely TOC and porosity,separately and together.Thus,the game theory method in big data-driven analysis uses a combination of TOC and porosity to evaluate the gas content with encouraging results—suggesting that these are the key parameters that indicate source rock and reservoir properties.

摘要This study aims to establish an integrated sensitivity analysis framework for optimization and design of the dynamic performance of mechanical systems such as tracked vehicles,by combining the direct differentiation method(DDM)with the linear multibody system transfer matrix method(linear MSTMM).The rigid-flexible coupled multibody system dynamics model of a tracked vehicle is established using the linear MSTMM and validated through the modal test.Building upon the existing DDM-based eigenvalue sensitivity analysis method within the linear MSTMM,the DDM is embedded into it to enable programmable and efficient computation of dynamic response sensitivities for mechanical systems.The proposed approach is used to quantitatively evaluate the sensitivities of both natural vibration characteristics(e.g.,natural frequencies and mode shapes)and transient dynamic responses of the tracked vehicle with respect to system parameters,successfully identifying critical structural parameters.Compared to conventional finite difference methods,the developed methodology eliminates sensitivity to perturbation step sizes.The contributions of this work lie in establishing a unified theoretical foundation and analysis framework for guiding dynamics optimization and design of mechanical systems,and extending the applicability of the linear MSTMM to sensitivity analysis of transient dynamic responses.

摘要Red-fleshed fruits are valued for their vibrant color and high anthocyanin content.Pre-harvest fruit bagging enhances fruit peel pigmentation,but its effect on flesh coloration remains poorly characterized.This study revealed that removing bags from‘Gengcunyangtao’red-fleshed peach fruits triggers the rapid and uniform accumulation of anthocyanins in the flesh,resulting in anthocyanin levels that exceed those in unbagged fruits.The exposure to light after bag removal triggered significant increases in anthocyanin levels within 24 h.This was accompanied by the rapid upregulation of light-responsive and flavonoid biosynthetic gene expression levels within 6 h.A metabolomic analysis indicated that anthocyanin precursors,especially p-coumaric acid,accumulated before bag removal,thereby increasing substrate availability for rapid anthocyanin synthesis.On the basis of a weighted gene co-expression network analysis,MYB transcription factors,anthocyanin transporters,glutathione S-transferase,and multidrug and toxic compound extrusion(MATE)were identified as key regulators that coordinate precursor storage along with light-induced transcriptional activation.Notably,PpMYB4 binds to the promoter of PpGSTF14 and activates its expression,thereby promoting anthocyanin accumulation.The study findings elucidated the temporal coordination of metabolic priming and light-responsive transcriptional regulation driving rapid anthocyanin biosynthesis,with possible implications for improving peach fruit flesh coloration.

摘要Crumb rubber concrete(CRC)has emerged as a sustainable solution to the environmental challenges posed by rubber waste.This study introduces an advanced mixed-random-aggregate mesoscale model for CRC based on the Base Force Element Method(BFEM)and the complementary energy principle.The model incorporates different rubber substitution ratios(0%-30%),rubber particle sizes(2 mm and 4 mm),and specimen dimensions(edge lengths of 100,150,and 300 mm).These parameters are considered to investigate their effects on the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of CRC.Accordingly,the numerical results include stress-strain responses,elastic modulus,and damage progression patterns.The results indicate that increasing rubber content leads to a pronounced reduction in both tensile and compressive strengths.This drop occurs mainly because rubber particles have a much lower elastic modulus.Thus,they represent stress concentrators and weak points,which accelerate the sample failure.Moreover,for the same replacement ratio,CRC with smaller rubber particles(2 mm)exhibits lower strength than CRC with larger particles(4 mm).This reduction occurs because the finer particles create more interfacial areas,introducing more sites for defect initiation and micro-cracks.In addition,increasing specimen size is associated with reduced strength and elastic modulus,highlighting size-dependent phenomena in CRC.The numerical predictions show good agreement with experimental results reported in the literature.

摘要Fanconi anemia(FA;OMIM:227650)is a rare genetic disorder characterized by bone marrow failure,congenital anomalies,and cancer predisposition.While FANCA mutations account for most FA cases,phenotypic overlap with other disorders complicates diagnosis.This study analyzes molecular diagnostic pathways for FANCA-related FA and establishes a hereditary differential diagnosis for ectrodactyly.A Chinese FA family clinical phenotype was collected.The proband and father underwent whole-genome sequencing.Copy number variations(CNVs)in FANCA were assessed by genomic qPCR.Functional characterization of the EHMT1 variant included minigene splicing assays,RT-qPCR and Western blotting on peripheral blood samples.The proband showed pancytopenia and bone marrow hypoplasia,suggesting aplastic anemia.Sequencing analysis identified two FANCA mutations,NM_000135.4:c.154C>T and NC_000016.9:g.89865477_89895212del,which caused partial protein deletion.Subsequent pedigree analysis revealed that the affected individuals of the proband's paternal lineage,who exhibited ectrodactyly,were heterozygous for the EHMT1 c.2382+1750G>A variant(NM_024757.5)and showed significantly reduced EHMT1 mRNA expression,demonstrating complete genotype-phenotype co-segregation.Furthermore,Western blot revealed reduced H3K9me2 and decreased intensity of a~100 kDa EHMT1-reactive band in the proband's father.The newly identified g.89865477_89895212del mutation enriches the FANCA gene mutant spectrum.Additionally,the EHMT1 c.2382+1750G>A variant co-segregates with ectrodactyly and is accompanied by significantly reduced EHMT1 mRNA expression.
摘要Most conventional oilfields in Eastern China with waterflood operations have reached ultra-high water cut in recent decade.The high water injection demand and produced water treatment cost pose significant environmental threats.Therefore,optimizing waterflood performance is key to improving production efficiency.This study performs data analysis on waterflood operations of all the oilfields operated by Sinopec across Eastern China.The production mechanisms and most effective operations for different reservoir types at diverse production stages are identified using data-driven methods.Random Forest models(RFMs)are constructed and integrated with Shapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)analysis to quantify the weights and patterns of key geological and engineering features.A comparison of the estimated ultimate recovery factors for different blocks shows that geological factors play dominant roles in medium-to-high permeability reservoirs while development parameters are more critical for low-permeability reservoirs.The analysis of temporal data regarding field development and production history is conducted to select oil production-increasing operations in blocks.The results show that the most influential field operations vary for the diverse production stages,and well patterns should be carefully designed to improve production efficiency and reduce ineffective water circulation.
