The morphology and composition analysis of the corrosion product revealed that slight corrosion occurred on the surfaces of the samples immersed in a 0.25 wt% Na_2S_2O_8 solution. However, pitting corrosion occurred on the surfaces of the samples immersed in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, whereas exfoliation corrosion occurred on the surfaces of the samples immersed in a mixture of 0.25 wt% Na_2S_2O_8 and 3.5 wt% NaCl solutions. A power exponent relationship was observed between the mass loss and exposure time of the 7005-T4 aluminum alloy immersed in the three kinds of solutions. In the mixture of 0.25 wt% Na_2S_2O_8 and 3.5 wt% NaCl solutions, the mass loss of the aluminum alloy yielded the maximum value. Based on the calculation of the correlation coefficients, the alternating wet–dry procedure in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution could be used to predict the corrosion behavior of 7005-T4 aluminum alloy exposed in the atmosphere of Qingdao, China. The prediction model is as follows: T = 104.28×t^(0.91), where T is the equivalent time and t is the exposure time.展开更多

Its static and dynamic performances were analyzed using the 2D finite element method,taking into account the nonlinear characterization and the eddy current loss of the magnetic material. The experiment and simulation results agree well and show that the prototype actuator can produce a force of ±100 N with the maximum power being 7 W and has linear characteristics with a positive magnetic stiffness within a stroke of ±1 mm. Its non-linearity is less than 1.5% and the hysteresis less than 1.5%. The actuator's frequency response(-3 dB) of the displacement reaches about 15 Hz,and the most significant factor affecting the dynamic performance is identified as the eddy current loss of the magnetic material.展开更多

文摘背景与目的m6A RNA甲基化修饰在肺癌的发生与进展中起着重要作用,可以调节肿瘤免疫进而影响疾病预后。目前很多集中在某些特定的m6A效应器的差异表达及对肿瘤免疫细胞浸润的影响,但单个效应器表达的变化远远不足以反映m6A修饰特征的全貌,且关于m6A修饰对肺腺癌免疫微环境影响的研究仍较少。本研究拟探讨不同m6A修饰模式对肺腺癌中免疫微环境的影响。方法从癌症基因组图谱数据库(e Cancer Genome Atlas,TCGA)、加州大学圣克鲁兹分校泛癌全基因数据分析工具数据库(University of California Santa Cruz Xena,UCSC Xena)、基因表达综合数据库(Gene Expression Omnibus,GEO)获取肺腺癌相关数据信息。使用Maftools R分析肺腺癌队列中24个m6A效应器的基因突变,比较肺腺癌组织和正常组织中m6A效应器的表达差异,并通过Cox回归分析进行生存分析。通过Consensus Cluster Plus R非监督聚类的方法构建m6A修饰模式,进行m6A聚类生存分析、GSVA通路富集分析、免疫评分及免疫细胞浸润分析。在68例肺腺癌组织中,通过免疫组化分析LRPPRC蛋白表达水平与CD8、CD68的表达水平,验证LRPPRC与CD8;细胞毒性T细胞及巨噬细胞浸润的关系。结果在567例肺腺癌样本中有150例发生了m6A效应器突变,频率为26.46%。与正常组织相比,肺腺癌组织中共有6个读取器和3个写入器的表达明显上调。IGF2BP1和HNRNPC是影响肺腺癌患者预后的独立危险因素,且各效应器之间也存在大量的相互作用。构建了3种具有不同免疫细胞浸润特征和临床预后的m6A修饰模式。发现LRPPRC的表达与包括杀伤性T细胞和巨噬细胞在内的多种免疫细胞的浸润呈负相关,并在68例肺腺癌组织中得到验证。结论m6A修饰对肺腺癌免疫微环境的调节起着重要作用,LRPPRC有可能作为预测抗PD1免疫治疗效果的潜在生物标记物。

文摘Accelerated corrosion tests of the 7005-T4 aluminum alloy were conducted to determine a suitable service life prediction method by using alternating wet–dry cycles in three kinds of solutions. The morphology and composition analysis of the corrosion product revealed that slight corrosion occurred on the surfaces of the samples immersed in a 0.25 wt% Na_2S_2O_8 solution. However, pitting corrosion occurred on the surfaces of the samples immersed in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, whereas exfoliation corrosion occurred on the surfaces of the samples immersed in a mixture of 0.25 wt% Na_2S_2O_8 and 3.5 wt% NaCl solutions. A power exponent relationship was observed between the mass loss and exposure time of the 7005-T4 aluminum alloy immersed in the three kinds of solutions. In the mixture of 0.25 wt% Na_2S_2O_8 and 3.5 wt% NaCl solutions, the mass loss of the aluminum alloy yielded the maximum value. Based on the calculation of the correlation coefficients, the alternating wet–dry procedure in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution could be used to predict the corrosion behavior of 7005-T4 aluminum alloy exposed in the atmosphere of Qingdao, China. The prediction model is as follows: T = 104.28×t^(0.91), where T is the equivalent time and t is the exposure time.

文摘Intestinal microecology is the main component of human microecology.Intestinal microecology consists of intestinal microbiota,intestinal epithelial cells,and intestinal mucosal immune system.These components are interdependent and establish a complex interaction network that restricts each other.According to the impact on the human body,there are three categories of symbiotic bacteria,opportunistic pathogens,and pathogenic bacteria.The intestinal microecology participates in digestion and absorption,and material metabolism,and inhibits the growth of pathogenic microorganisms.It also acts as the body’s natural immune barrier,regulates the innate immunity of the intestine,controls the mucosal barrier function,and also participates in the intestinal epithelial cells’physiological activities such as hyperplasia or apoptosis.When the steady-state balance of the intestinal microecology is disturbed,the existing core intestinal microbiota network changes and leads to obesity,diabetes,and many other diseases,especially irritable bowel syndrome,inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),and colorectal malignancy.Intestinal diseases,including tumors,are particularly closely related to intestinal microecology.This article systematically discusses the research progress on the relationship between IBD and intestinal microecology from the pathogenesis,treatment methods of IBD,and the changes in intestinal microbiota.

文摘This paper presents a bi-directional permanent-magnet linear actuator for directly driving electrohydraulic valves with low power consumption. Its static and dynamic performances were analyzed using the 2D finite element method,taking into account the nonlinear characterization and the eddy current loss of the magnetic material. The experiment and simulation results agree well and show that the prototype actuator can produce a force of ±100 N with the maximum power being 7 W and has linear characteristics with a positive magnetic stiffness within a stroke of ±1 mm. Its non-linearity is less than 1.5% and the hysteresis less than 1.5%. The actuator's frequency response(-3 dB) of the displacement reaches about 15 Hz,and the most significant factor affecting the dynamic performance is identified as the eddy current loss of the magnetic material.

文摘The application of ionic liquids in perovskite has attracted wide-spread attention for its astounding performance improvement of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).However,the detailed mechanisms behind the improvement remain mysterious.Herein,a series of imidazolium-based ionic liquids(IILs)with different cations and anions is systematically investigated to elucidate the passivation mechanism of IILs on inorganic perovskites.It is found that IILs display the following advantages:(1)They form ionic bonds with Cs^(+)and Pb^(2+)cations on the surface and at the grain boundaries of perovskite films,which could effectively heal/reduce the Cs^(+)/I−vacancies and Pb-related defects;(2)They serve as a bridge between the perovskite and the hole-transport-layer for effective charge extraction and transfer;and(3)They increase the hydrophobicity of the perovskite surface to further improve the stability of the CsPbI_(2)Br PSCs.The combination of the above effects results in suppressed non-radiative recombination loss in CsPbI_(2)Br PSCs and an impressive power conversion efficiency of 17.02%.Additionally,the CsPbI_(2)Br PSCs with IILs surface modification exhibited improved ambient and light illumination stability.Our results provide guidance for an indepth understanding of the passivation mechanism of IILs in inorganic perovskites.
