LHRH/TAT dual peptides-conjugated polymeric vesicles for PTT enhanced chemotherapy to overcome hepatocellular carcinoma

Combination therapy such as photothermal therapy (PTT) enhanced chemotherapy is regarded as a promising strategy for cancer treatment. Herein, we developed redox-responsive polymeric vesicles based on the amphiphilic triblock copolymer PCL-ss-PEG-ss-PCL. To avoid the limited therapeutic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs caused by systemic exposures and drug resistance, the redox-sensitive polymeric vesicles were cargoed with two chemotherapeutics: doxorubicin (DOX) and paclitaxel (PTX). Besides, indocyanine green (ICG) was encapsulated, and cell-penetrating peptides and LHRH targeting molecule were modified on the surface of polymeric vesicles. The results indicated that the polymeric vesicles can load different kinds of drugs with high drug loading content, trigger drug release in responsive to the reductive environment, realize high cellular uptake via dual peptides and laser irradiation, and achieve higher cytotoxicity via chemo-photothermal combination therapy. Hence, the redox-responsive LHRH/TAT dual peptides-conjugated PTX/DOX/ICG co-loaded polymeric micelles exhibited great potential in tumor-targeting and chemo-photothermal therapy.

蓬勃发展的金属锂负极

当今,国际格局正在产生重大变革,能源利用从传统化石能源主体逐渐转向低碳可再生能源。以电化学反应为基础的高效储能体系不受地理环境限制。发展高能量密度与高安全性的电化学储能技术,是以可再生能源、新能源汽车工业为代表的能源革命的重要环节。目前,锂离子电池技术成熟度高,在促进社会智能化、便携化进程中发挥着重要作用。基于电化学插层反应的锂离子电池经过将近三十年的发展,能量密度趋近于理论极限,但仍不能满足当代社会的储能需求。因此,发展高安全高比容量的下一代电极材料势在必行。

A novel imaging tool for hepatic portal system using phase contrast technique with hydrogen peroxide‐generated O2 gas

The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of hydrogen peroxide‐generated oxygen gas‐based phase contrast imaging (PCI) for visualizing mouse hepatic portal veins. The O₂ gas was made from the reaction between H₂O₂ and catalase. The gas production was imaged by PCI in real time. The H₂O₂ was injected into the enteric cavity of the lower sigmoid colon to produce O₂ in the submucosal venous plexus. The generated O₂ gas could be finally drained into hepatic portal veins. Absorption contrast imaging (ACI) and PCI of O₂‐filled portal veins were performed and compared. PCI offers high resolution and real‐time visualization of the O₂ gas production. Compared with O₂‐based ACI, O₂‐based PCI significantly enhanced the revealing of the portal vein in vivo. It is concluded that O₂‐based PCI is a novel and promising imaging modality for future studies of portal venous disorders in mice models.     

基于电源电流和输出电压的模拟电路故障模型研究

基于模拟电路电源电流和输出电压的协同分析,研究了复数域的故障建模方法,提出了一种2D故障模型的数学表达式,该模型为复平面上的一簇圆轨迹。为了扩大故障轨迹之间的距离,在相同测量精度和元件容差条件下提高故障检测率和隔离率,进一步提出了3D复数空间的优化故障模型。两种故障模型都极大简化了测点选择算法和模拟故障状态仿真的复杂度,理论上对模拟电路单故障的覆盖率为100%。基于滤波器电路的实验仿真结果验证了两种故障模型的有效性。
