小鼠小梁细胞与肌成纤维细胞的同步辐射红外显微光谱

原发性开角型青光眼是常见的致盲性眼部疾病。眼压升高是原发性开角型青光眼发生和发展最主要的危险因素，是由小梁网途径的房水外流排出系统发生病变、房水流出阻力增加所致。研究表明，房水中存在的转化生长因子-β能够使小梁细胞纤维化，诱导小梁细胞过度增殖，从而阻碍房水外流，导致原发性开角型青光眼的发生。原发性开角型青光眼发病隐蔽，病程进展缓慢，早期没有任何症状，往往到晚期视力视野有显著损害时，才会被发现，因此原发性开角型青光眼的早期诊断尤为重要。同步辐射红外显微成像结合高亮度、高分辨率的同步辐射源，同时配备傅里叶变换红外光谱仪与红外显微镜，可以实现细胞的检测。这对从分子层面获取细胞的变化信息，深入理解疾病的发病机制以及疾病的早期诊断具有非常重要的意义。虽然有很多红外光谱在生物医学领域的研究报道，但是应用红外光谱显微成像技术研究细胞等生物医学体系仍然是亟待发展的领域，并且目前未找到关于红外光谱用于小梁网细胞的检测报道。在体外用转化生长因子-β对老鼠小梁网细胞进行诱导，使其转化为肌成纤维细胞，模拟小梁细胞纤维化过程。对小梁网细胞以及经转化生长因子-β诱导形成的肌成纤维细胞进行同步辐射红外显微成像及光谱分析，并进一步探讨同步辐射用于早期诊断原发性开角型青光眼的可行性。研究表明肌成纤维细胞内的弹性蛋白明显高于小梁网细胞，而弹性蛋白中95%为非极性氨基酸，即氨基酸的侧链基团R基只有C和H两种元素。对比两种细胞的红外谱图，发现在2 934，2 900和2 845 cm-1，肌成纤维细胞的 CH₃，CH₂和CH的伸缩振动明显强于小梁网细胞，推测可能是由于转化生长因子-β诱导后细胞内弹性蛋白增加所致。在细胞层面检测了小梁网细胞的过度增殖，为将来可以直接获取细胞的红外光谱从而检测小梁网细胞的增殖程度，进而检测原发性开角型青光眼等疾病奠定了基础。得出同步辐射红外谱学与显微成像有望成为检测原发性开角型青光眼新手段的结论，也为将来便携式红外显微光谱仪临床实时检测青光眼等疾病提供了依据。     

Stratification phenomenon in an inclined rheology of UCM nanomaterial

This investigation presents the unsteady rheology of Maxwell nanomaterial induced to flow over an inclined surface. Simultaneous effects of stratification, thermal radiation, heat source/sink and magnetic field are taken into account. Viscous dissipation and mixed convection due to concentration and temperature differences are also analyzed. The governing partial differential equations for the Maxwell nanofluid which incorporate the effects of Brownian and thermophoresis effects are simplified by using appropriate similarity transformations, and solved analytically by using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of involved physical parameters on the flow field are analyzed graphically and numerically.     

Pattern transition and regulation in a subthalamopallidal network under electromagnetic effect

Although the significant roles of magnetic induction and electromagnetic radiation in the neural system have been widely studied, their influence on Parkinson's disease (PD) has yet to be well explored. By virtue of the magnetic flux variable, this paper studies the transition of firing patterns induced by magnetic induction and the regulation effect of external magnetic radiation on the firing activities of the subthalamopallidal network in basal ganglia. We find: (i) The network reproduces five typical waveforms corresponding to the severity of symptoms: weak cluster, episodic, continuous cluster, episodic, and continuous wave. (ii) Magnetic induction is a double-edged sword for the treatment of PD. Although the increase of magnetic coefficient may lead the physiological firing activity to transfer to pathological firing activity, it also can regulate the pathological intensity firing activity with excessive β-band power transferring to the physiological firing pattern with weak β-band power. (iii) External magnetic radiation could inhibit continuous tremulous firing and β-band power of subthalamic nucleus (STN), which means the severity of symptoms weakened. Especially, the bi-parameter plane of the regulation region shows that a short pulse period of magnetic radiation and a medium level of pulse percentage can well regulate pathological oscillation. This work helps to understand the firing activity of the subthalamopallidal network under electromagnetic effect. It may also provide insights into the mechanisms behind the electromagnetic therapy of PD-related firing activity.     

Hole Migration in Telomere-Based Oligonucleotide Anions and G-Quadruplexes

Vacuum ultraviolet photoionization of a gas-phase oligonucleotide anion leads to the formation of a valence hole. This hole migrates towards an energetically favorable site where it can weaken bonds and ultimately lead to bond cleavage. We have studied Vacuum UV photoionization of deprotonated oligonucleotides containing the human telomere sequence dTTAGGG and G-quadruplex structures consisting of four dTGGGGT single strands, stabilized by NH₄⁺ counter ions. The oligonucleotide and G-quadruplex anions were confined in a radiofrequency ion trap, interfaced with a synchrotron beamline and the photofragmentation was studied using time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Oligonucleotide 12-mers containing the 5'-TTAGGG sequence were found to predominantly break in the GGG region, whereas no selective bond cleavage region was observed for the reversed 5'-GGGATT sequence. For G-quadruplex structures, fragmentation was quenched and mostly non-dissociative single and double electron removal was observed.

针对水下椭球粒子,以声散射理论为基础,采用分波序列的方法,建立了椭球粒子声辐射力的理论计算模型。进而根据声辐射力计算公式,以刚性椭球粒子和液体椭球粒子为例,计算并分析不同Bessel波束作用下椭球粒子的轴向声辐射力函数特征。数值仿真计算结果表明,对于刚性椭球粒子,扁平椭球粒子相对于细长椭球粒子更有助于激发负声辐射力；对于液体椭球粒子,细长椭球粒子相对于扁平椭球粒子更加容易产生负声辐射力；对于不同介质的椭球粒子,不同的入射波束激发的负声辐射力的效果也存在明显的差异。该结果为复杂的尺寸和介质粒子声操控技术提供了理论的可行性。     

Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System and a Multilayer Perceptron Model Trained with Grey Wolf Optimizer for Predicting Solar Diffuse Fraction

The accurate prediction of the solar diffuse fraction (DF), sometimes called the diffuse ratio, is an important topic for solar energy research. In the present study, the current state of Diffuse irradiance research is discussed and then three robust, machine learning (ML) models are examined using a large dataset (almost eight years) of hourly readings from Almeria, Spain. The ML models used herein, are a hybrid adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), a single multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and a hybrid multi-layer perceptron grey wolf optimizer (MLP-GWO). These models were evaluated for their predictive precision, using various solar and DF irradiance data, from Spain. The results were then evaluated using frequently used evaluation criteria, the mean absolute error (MAE), mean error (ME) and the root mean square error (RMSE). The results showed that the MLP-GWO model, followed by the ANFIS model, provided a higher performance in both the training and the testing procedures.     

Accurate correction of arbitrary spin fermion quantum tunneling from non-stationary Kerr-de Sitter black hole based on corrected Lorentz dispersion relation

According to a corrected dispersion relation proposed in the study on the string theory and quantum gravity theory, the Rarita-Schwinger equation was precisely modified, which resulted in the Rarita-Schwinger-Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Using this equation, the characteristics of arbitrary spin fermion quantum tunneling radiation from non-stationary Kerr-de Sitter black holes were determined. A number of accurately corrected physical quantities, such as surface gravity, chemical potential, tunneling probability, and Hawking temperature, which describe the properties of black holes, were derived. This research has enriched the research methods and enabled increased precision in black hole physics research.
