观察糖原合酶激酶-3β(GSK-3β)在牛磺酸(Tau)抑制结直肠癌(CRC)侵袭转移中的作用,探讨Tau抑制结直肠癌侵袭转移分子机制。选用人结直肠癌SW480和HT29细胞为研究对象,用浓度为40～200 mmoL Tau处理细胞;Transwell小室和细胞划痕愈合实验检测细胞侵袭、迁移能力,Western blot检测细胞EMT标志性蛋白(E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin),基质金属蛋白酶2/7(MMP2/7)和AKT/GSK-3β通路相关蛋白水平。与正常对照组比较,Tau可浓度依赖性抑制CRC细胞侵袭和迁移,上调CRC上皮标志物E-cadherin表达,下调EMT间质标志物N-cadherin, Vimentin和MMPs表达;降低AKT和p-AKT水平,提高PTEN,GSK-3β及p-GSK-3β表达水平(P<0.05)。与p-EGFP-GSK-3β或Tau组比较,p-EGFP-GSK-3β+Tau组细胞迁移和侵袭数量有显著性降低(P<0.01);与Tau组或p-EGFP-GSK-3β组比较,p-EGFP-GSK-3β+Tau组E-Cadherin、GSK-3β蛋白表达有显著升高(P<0.01),而N-Cadherin, Vimentin,β-Catenin, MMP2/7和AKT蛋白表达均有显著降低(P<0.01)。牛磺酸可通过调控AKT/GSK-3β通路抑制结直肠癌细胞侵袭转移。     

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.     

Theoretical study on the mechanism for the excited-state double proton transfer process of an asymmetric Schiff base ligand

Excited-state double proton transfer (ESDPT) in the 1-[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylidene)-hydrazonomethyl]-naphthalen-2-ol (HYDRAVH₂) ligand was studied by the density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory method. The analysis of frontier molecular orbitals, infrared spectra, and non-covalent interactions have cross-validated that the asymmetric structure has an influence on the proton transfer, which makes the proton transfer ability of the two hydrogen protons different. The potential energy surfaces in both S₀ and S₁ states were scanned with varying O-H bond lengths. The results of potential energy surface analysis adequately proved that the HYDRAVH₂ can undergo the ESDPT process in the S₁ state and the double proton transfer process is a stepwise proton transfer mechanism. Our work can pave the way towards the design and synthesis of new molecules.     

超导离子源铌三锡六极线圈镜像磁场约束结构的优化设计

中国科学院近代物理研究所正在进行国际首台45 GHz全铌三锡超导离子源FECR(Fourth Electron Cyclotron Resonance)磁体的研制，该离子源磁体线圈由六个铌三锡超导六极线圈和四个铌三锡超导螺线管线圈组成。由于单根超导线绕制异形六极线圈(非标准鞍型)技术难度大，且铌三锡超导性能对应力敏感，为了测试单个铌三锡六极线圈性能能否达到设计指标，基于铝合金壳层结构和Bladder-Key精确预紧技术，设计了镜像磁场约束结构。本工作主要阐述了运用ANSYS参数化设计编程对镜像磁场结构进行优化设计的过程和优化后的镜像磁场结构，确定了室温预应力大小，并给出了线圈经过室温预紧、冷却降温和加电励磁后的最大等效应力。进一步结合实际六极线圈制作公差(±0.1 mm)，分析和评估了公差对镜像磁场结构中六极线圈预应力施加的影响。
