Artificial nano‐pin as a temporal molecular glue for the targeting of acidic tumor cells

Highly precise control of molecular structure for developing efficient anticancer drug delivery is challenging. Our method reported herein can satisfy the need for building novel hybrid molecule; this molecule serves as a built‐in transformer that changes its molecular configuration from a pin‐shaped arrangement to a dog bone‐shaped arrangement. This approach led to a significant increase in the efficiency of tumor inhibition. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

交变电场作用下骨表面温升的实验研究

骨具有力电性质,这一性质可促进骨组织生长。骨既是生理器官又是介电材料,在交变电场作用下,其表现行为可能有生理作用。为此,本文测量了骨悬臂梁试样在交变电场下的表面温升与顶端挠度。发现在电压70V,频率为10~70kHz的交流电场下,最大表面温升达到2~4℃,最大挠度变化为9.0~78.7μm;在频率10kHz,电压为70~175V的交流电场下,最大表面温升达到4~6℃,最大挠度变化为13.0~114.3μm。同时测量了两种经典介电材料有机玻璃和聚乙烯在交变电场下的温升与顶端挠度,最大温升低于0.5℃,但是挠度与骨试样相当,所以相对高温升是骨特有的性质。将交流电压有效值替换成相同幅值的直流电压时,最大温升也低于0.5℃,基本没有挠度变化,所以相对的高温升反映了骨的交流性质。分析后认为,骨在交变电场作用下的温升由胶原的介电损耗引起。实验数据显示,骨在交变电场下,表面温度变化与加载电压的平方成正比,且在实验加载的10~70kHz频段内,骨的介电常数随频率的变化明显。     

丝素纤维/硫酸钙抗感染骨材料的制备及性能

通过控制丝素蛋白自组装过程制备了溶液状态下的丝素纳米纤维（silk fibroin nanofibers,SFFs）,与硫酸钙、万古霉素（vancomycin,VCM）复合,制备了VCM/CS/SFFs抗菌骨材料。通过SEM、XRD、紫外分光光度计、万能力学试验机、抑菌圈、MTT等手段分别研究了复合材料的微观形貌与结构、药物释放、力学、抑菌及细胞相容性等性能。结果显示,与水作为固化液相比,随着SFFs溶液（0.017 5~2.1 mg·mL^-1）的加入,复合材料凝固时间可控,降解率逐渐降低,抗水性增强,韧性提高;同时随丝素纳米纤维含量的增加骨材料抗压强度表现为先增加后减小的趋势,一周内药物释放速率降低;材料同时具有抑菌作用;MTT实验结果显示,加入丝素纳米纤维后与纯的硫酸钙相比MC3T3细胞增殖明显。     

长碳链聚酰胺及其共聚物的拉伸诱导结晶

长碳链聚酰胺(LCPA)作为聚酰胺的特殊品种,较长的亚甲基链和极性酰胺基团使其兼具聚烯烃和聚酰胺的双重特性.在加工或使用过程中,拉伸诱导结晶现象对长碳链聚酰胺及其共聚物的强度和弹性行为具有重要影响,深入认识其在外场下的微观结构响应对该材料的设计及制备具有重要意义.围绕拉伸诱导结晶作用,该专论主要基于本团队2010年以来在长碳链聚酰胺及其共聚物的拉伸诱导结晶工作,并综述了国内外的相关研究,涉及拉伸诱导结晶现象、拉伸诱导结晶的影响因素、拉伸诱导结晶与力学性能的构效关系及拉伸诱导结晶的表征方法等方面.     

Detection and analysis of paraffin oil adulteration in coconut oil using fiber optic long period grating sensor

A fiber optic sensing system for the detection of adulteration of coconut oil by paraffin oil is experimentally demonstrated. The sensing mechanism is based on the sensitive dependence of the resonance peaks of a long period grating (LPG) on the changes of the refractive index of the environmental medium surrounding the cladding surface of the grating. The wavelength shift of the attenuation bands of the LPG was measured with the sensor immersed in a mixture of paraffin oil and pure coconut oil in different proportions. Detection limit of adulteration was found to be 3% for coconut oil-paraffin oil binary mixture.     

Long distance laser ultrasonic propagation imaging system for damage visualization

Wind turbine blade failure is the most prominent and common type of damage occurring in operating wind turbine systems. Conventional nondestructive testing systems are not available for in situ wind turbine blades. We propose a portable long distance ultrasonic propagation imaging (LUPI) system that uses a laser beam targeting and scanning system to excite, from a long distance, acoustic emission sensors installed in the blade. An examination of the beam collimation effect using geometric parameters of a commercial 2 MW wind turbine provided Lamb wave amplitude increases of 41.5 and 23.1 dB at a distance of 40 m for symmetrical and asymmetrical modes, respectively, in a 2 mm-thick stainless steel plate. With this improvement in signal-to-noise ratio, a feasibility study of damage detection was conducted with a 5 mm-thick composite leading edge specimen. To develop a reliable damage evaluation system, the excitation/sensing technology and the associated damage visualization algorithm are equally important. Hence, our results provide a new platform based on anomalous wave propagation imaging (AWPI) methods with adjacent wave subtraction, reference wave subtraction, reference image subtraction, and the variable time window amplitude mapping method. The advantages and disadvantages of AWPI algorithms are reported in terms of reference data requirements, signal-to-noise ratios, and damage evaluation accuracy. The compactness and portability of the proposed UPI system are also important for in-field applications at wind farms.     

动态光散射研究盐对Gemini表面活性剂网状聚集体的影响

以动态光散射为主要手段研究了盐对羧酸盐Gemini表面活性剂O,O′-双(2-月桂酸钠)-p-二苯氧(记为C12φ2C12)自组织的影响.结果表明盐的加入很容易使C12φ2C12的网状聚集体转变为小(流体力学半径Rh,app约几纳米)和大(Rh,app100 nm)两种尺寸共存的聚集体,1,6-二苯基-1,3,5-己三烯(DPH)探针增溶实验证实小尺寸聚集体为核-壳结构的似球胶束,流变学测量说明大尺寸聚集体可能已经是线型的核-壳胶束.这种行为被归结为初始的网状聚集体不稳定,添加的反离子与C12φ2C12头基结合破坏了网状结构的亲水亲油平衡,促使了它们的转变.盐效应规律表现为MgCl2NaCl、Bu4NBrMe4NBrEt4NBrPr4NBr,这里Bu4NBr不遵循上述静电力顺序的原因是它提供了携带的丁基与C12φ2C12烷烃链疏水相互作用的附加力.     

大动脉中血液流动的中性扰动

本文在长波假定下用流体力学线性稳定性理论对大动脉中血液流动求出了一种中性扰动。结果表明，心室或瓣引起的扰动在一定条件下有可能量一种中性扰动，它可以沿着动脉管无变形地传播到动脉远端。这说明也许有可能提供一种通过在远离心脏的某些浅表动脉部位检测这种中性成动以了解心脏的某些功能的新方法。
